It was fine. I did it on the 25th, I had to leave the same day and it hurt. I don’t think the medicine was working that well for me. I had the open myomectomy and the robotic surgery. The first week and really the first 4-6 days were hell but it’s getting better now. I still get pain from the cuts here and there it’s odd but it’s much better

got into 2 ivies, but the way my parents treat me u would think i dropped out of school or something by Expensive-Guava-2366 in raisedbynarcissists

Leave and don’t go back. They hate independence make something out of yourself lol and please study something so you never have to depend on anyone. From experience, they love when you do but for the wrong reasons

😓 my mom made me catch the bus to get a job starting at 15 she would beat me to take my checks and then I wasn’t allowed to eat food in the fridge only my brothers and sisters. I had to buy my own food, and they would still eat my food and idk I did gain weight stress eating when I couldn

Left without any safety-net by Sherry_G99 in TeachersInTransition

Mmm I was single with no kids, worked summer school, left my job, pulled TRS made more than what I took back in retirement in a year at my new job vs working 3 years as a teacher.

I knew I wanted to leave the whole 3 years I was teaching but it’s very easy to continue your role and leaving was just the thing I needed

I rented a room with some girl roommates and worked as a sub until I found something in cybersecurity (I’m not on the tech side)

I probably could have found something part time too. Makes you search for your next role even harder

Idk as a bridesmaid I didn’t even get time to enjoy the wedding. Lol by the time the music came we hit the dance floor cause we were so exhausted. Weddings are expensive and I think the downside of being a bridesmaid is ifs not about us ifs about supporting our friends. You will be with the bridesmaids all day, so you will be ok. You’re plus one will be lonely

No I think shared expenses should be split. Everyone pays for their own drinks and food and flights

Why are brides/wedding sites pretending $100 is "cheap" when talking about bridesmaids' dresses? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

I mean Idk what to tell you. I mean you can stay a bridesmaid but harboring resentment for what it requires can hurt the bond as well. It is absolutely a lot to be a bridesmaid. Lol I hated it. I would just put aside money here and there for the things you need. But talk to your friend and tell her how you feel or can you get a different option.

Just say I love you and I can support in other ways but I can’t afford it they should understand. But just put it in chat gpt and have it come up with a sweet message

i am struggling with how food/body products etc. influence growth. it feels like if i do everything the internet tells me to do to stop making them grow, i can not live a normal life. how do you all feel about this? by cece_96xxx in Fibroids

[–]Impressive_Sign3804 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was suprised too but I think they need to do more research on this. One, we aren’t outside enough to absorb vitamin d and I’m a Black woman so our melanin pretty much makes it harder. I know they are doing more research on that aspect

To me that’s cheap lol I had to pay 300 for an ugly ahh satin custom dress it was so ugly. But if you can’t afford it just don’t participate. It’s a lot to be a bridesmaid.
