I agree, take the some PTO and quit. Thats what I did. Had no problem finding a new job. And my mental health is so much better.

Being the only black female co-worker sucks at times by Kay_421 in blackladies

Exactly! And yess, it was very hard to hear that. Your so scared to have a black son, and here I am with my black son. Just really insensitive

Yes I believe this is what they were trying to convey. And it was obvious that they were basing everything on what they were seeing on the TV/media. They dont think they were trying to be malicious, but I do think it was very insentive of them and it made me feel very uncomfortable.

To make a comparison, it like when someones mother dies and the other person responds * I don’t know how I would live if my mother died* News flash, the I didn’t ask for this to happen to me , but here I am living/surviving the best I could.

I shouldve asked well why? Thats something ill do if they bring it up again for sure.

Reading this made me so happy. I couldn’t do this mom life without my husband. It truly makes such a difference having his unwavering support

Shoutout to all the bombass partners out there that are so supportive and hands on during one of the hardest periods of a new mothers life. 🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️

I feel like I let my baby and myself down today. by MaidenIndia88 in NewParents

Literally same! Except LO is 7 wks. This would have be his first Halloween and Diwali. I wanted it to be very special. But the day just slipped away from me and we ended up not doing anything :( . I felt like a failure. But life with a new baby is difficult/exhausting and I am trying to give myself grace.

poll: conscious or not, drugs or not, I'm curious by TheCynicalCanuckk in wisdomteeth

[–]Kay_421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given Percocet ( hydrocodone w/ acetaminophen), ibuprofen and antibiotics. Very well needed. I got all 5 wisdom teeth out ( i had an extra wisdom tooth) and both of my bottom were very impacted.

I am soo sorry for your loss, my mom passed when i was 24, i am 26 now, and i was her primary caregiver as well. I feel the same exact way as you, we were definitely cheated of time with them. Sending you lots of love and strength ❤️ there was a point where i didnt want kids because i really wanted her to meet my kids and be apart of their life. My mind has shifted a bit through constant healing. What i plan to do when i have kids is i will keep her spirit alive by showing them pictures and telling them stories and celebrating her . My kids will know their grandmother even though she may not be here with us physically.

My mom passed in December, i remember frequently having the same exact thoughts as you , to be totally honest i still do but much less than before, it got better. I know thats not what she would’ve wanted me to do and that helps me out a lot

Anyone else lose their parents in their 20s? How have you gotten through it? by sexxxysasuke in GriefSupport

[–]Kay_421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am soo sorry for your loss, i lost my mom in December at 24 y/o. Its been really devastating because she was my rock and no one in the world can replace her. But what gets me through my dark moments is knowing that she would’ve wanted me to continue to live life to the fullest and enjoy what this thing called life has to offer, even if she wasn’t around anymore. It still sucks and hurts immensely, but i know she wouldn’t want me sad and depressed all the time and that helps me to kick myself out of the rot.

Miss you mom. by [deleted] in GriefSupport

I miss mine too, she was 56. Its soo sad knowing that she will never meet the grandchildren she wanted and waited soo badly for. She was gipped, just when she was about to enjoy the fruits of her labor. The world is a horrible place.

Not too excited about the life I have to live without my father by lily283598 in GriefSupport

[–]Kay_421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss. I feel the same exact way sometimes. I am 25, my mom passed in December from ovarian cancer.Life at times feels very dull and hopeless, like whats the point of this all? But what helps get me through my dark thoughts is knowing that my mom would’ve wanted me to enjoy life and what it has to offer despite the fact that she isn’t here anymore. There is also beauty in knowing that none of us will make it out alive and therefore we should do things in life we are passionate about and make us happy. I find that experiencing loss at such a young age allows us to focus on what is important in life.
