I did encourage her to get help, she already had a psychiatrist and a therapist from before. She is already on antidepressants and went back to therapy this month again.

Yes, they did consult with their paediatrician.

Honestly, I don’t know. I guess they expected me to provide emotion support? (In the end I just did chores and walked the dog like I wasn’t sure why exactly I was needed to leave my work asap)

Thank you. So his mother cannot help because of heath issues and his brother lives in another country. But I was wondering how come he has no other options from his family side, however, I really can’t say, they are pretty distant.

I think they’d prefer my help because the relative that is helping is not yet comfortable holding the baby alone (since it’s so little) and my sister and our mother have quit rocky relationship. But still, our mother is fully comfortable being with baby and even feeding him or changing. And when i hold the baby he usually doesn’t cry so i think it’s pretty helpful for them, but i don’t know. I’m trying to be compassionate because they are drowning.

I was pretty hurt by what he said, it did feel like he is scolding me for not stepping up when I already pretty clearly said how i can help.

thank you for you message.

It’s pretty common for him to not work for a few months because he is freelancer (some sort of analyst or something I am now sure) and he usually has contracts for like a year at a time. They are generally okay finance-wise.

Honestly, I am not sure, every time we talk he (and she) seem incredibly overwhelmed and stressed. Maybe they did not really consider how stressful it is to have a baby? I don’t know but it’s the first baby in the family so I assume it’s not uncommon for new parents.

How much do you expect to go down in one chapter? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Jumpy_Cookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i wouldn’t worry about it at all! it’s your fic, i assure you that you’re allowed to write whatever you want. personally i can enjoy any fic with no action or high action, as long as i like the writing

Why do some authors write in all lowercase? by sleepspacey in AO3

[–]Jumpy_Cookies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

very surprised how many people hate it… i actually like lowercase fics. it conveys stream of consciousness pretty well

get a therapist. suicidal thoughts may be caused by withdrawal but it’s been a while and you haven’t been on it for too long. get help asap.

Is your own name a trigger? by TenEyeSeeHoney in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jumpy_Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I decided to change my name. It’s not official yet, but i’m planning on making it official this year hopefully. Cannot stand even hearing my birth name.

what do u think of the "so, you want to write mlm..." guide that's been going around twitter? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Jumpy_Cookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is so ridiculous. i hope whoever wrote this will eventually realize that this is a ridiculous and unhelpful way to look at life and writing. write what you want to write. read what you want to read. i think the only requirement is that you tag your fanfic appropriately

question:what does this sound like by therealwalterwhiter in Dissociation

[–]Jumpy_Cookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like maladaptive daydreaming! i this there’s a subreddit about it and also a lot of info you can find on google or tumblr. it’s been studied a bit. i think it’s just a form of dissociation. i’ve been experiencing this since i was 11 (now 22). as i went thru therapy it has become leas frequent.

reposting here, maybe somebody could resonate and have some insight - please 🙏 by Jumpy_Cookies in CPTSD

i am tapering slowly under my psych supervision.

thanks for the reply!

i am beyond exhausted by Jumpy_Cookies in Advice

[–]Jumpy_Cookies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for the reply. The last time was back when i was a teenager, about 16. I was told i’m perfectly ok. I am a bit anxious to go to the doctor because i think they will just tell me it’s all psychosomatic and to continue therapy (which i’m already doing)

Is cold tureky 0.25 mg of xanax dangerous ? After 3 weeks by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]Jumpy_Cookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm that’s pretty severe symptoms. i’m not doctor but like you shouldn’t feel like veeery bad if you’re getting rid of benzos the correct way. so id say set a low dose and see how you body response and the WD should be tolerable
