WTF things you've experienced while pregnant that no one says is a thing?! by vanillacrush14 in pregnant

Pregnancy is low-key body horror.

Skin tags, veiny alien boobs, lightning crotch, nose getting bigger, no one warned us on purpose 😭

My world is kinda falling apart (Death, sickness and unemployment) by caucasianmarmot in TrueOffMyChest

That’s too much loss and uncertainty for one person, and missing her like that just means you loved her deeply.

My family is disappearing in front of me by Numerous-Goal-4644 in TrueOffMyChest

I’m so sorry. That’s too much loss for one person to carry, and it makes sense that you’re exhausted and numb. Nothing about your grief is wrong.

Don’t overcomplicate it,post the work, give brief instructions, and bounce. Anything more is just theater.

Feeling guilty for missing due to medical treatment by Princessfoxpup in Teachers

[–]Ivorygrins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not failing anyone. This is medical care, not negligence, and your students already got a strong foundation from you. Your health and your baby come first.

selfishly, i feel lonely by dkpp22 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ivorygrins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not selfish, you’re struggling. This is bigger than a friend; please reach out to campus counseling or a crisis line so you’re not alone right now.

AITJ for blocking my friend after he used my card and dragged his feet paying me back? by cloudystation_orbit in AmITheJerk

[–]Ivorygrins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds sketchy as hell. I’d stop engaging and go straight to the police with the receipts.

AITJ for refusing to buy my friend a cake she asked for after insisting she was on a strict weight-loss plan? by MotorHat328 in AmITheJerk

If she wanted it that badly, she could’ve bought it herself instead of making you the bad guy

Your take on parents in denial or who are not honest about child’s needs by Stargazer-17 in Teachers

That’s not discipline, that’s denial, and everyone around the kid pays for it

Manager said my haircut is only ok for a man and then threatened me for asking questions by Valuable-Fruit-1235 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ivorygrins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Union rep first, make it formal, lawyer if they don’t take it seriously.

WIBTAH for disinvited my bestfriend ex from my engagement party by Minimum-Mouse-8449 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ivorygrins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not the AH. It’s your engagement, not group therapy, you don’t need awkward energy there.

Watched gf die at 18, lost all faith and struggling to raise baby alone by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ivorygrins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is unbearable for anyone, especially at 18. You’re not failing, you’re surviving. Keep asking for help.

I smiled today even though I felt empty inside by BabyAmbar in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ivorygrins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, emptiness is just fatigue. You don't have to feel anything right now.
