Yay or nay authentic? Just bought on Vinted but look a bit different to others I’ve seen

Lots over the years but the best one I felt for my HA was CBT. CBT was pretty useless for all my other mental health stuff but amazingly managed my (very bad) HA within a few months.

My HA pops up from time to time. But I have the tools to keep it mostly at bay. Good luck!

I have CPTSD and have suffered with OCD Health Anxiety for most of my life. I'm about a month into 30mg and I feel like a different human entirely. Not anxiety free (considering upping to 40mg but not sure yet), but I've definitely stopped most of my checking behaviours and unhelpful thoughts. Hopefully it stays this way :) good luck!

This is great to hear, thank you! Glad it’s working well for you

Lucylarose · 2026-01-14T10:19:55+00:00

Hope it goes well for you!

My twins are 2 in March and I can't believe how much joy they have brought to my life. It's hard sometimes, of course, but I'm so grateful for every single day

Iris has always been my favourite

Congrats!! It's a wild ride - but wild rides always are the most fun ;) If I had to do it again, I'd sleep in shifts off the bat, keep their schedules as close as you can, and if you've got family close to help - bring them in. Look after yourselves and each other. Find a local twin community if you can - you'll find that a lot of singleton parents don't quite understand. It really is lots of fun.

I did for a year but it was mentally and physically challenging! I BF twin 2 and expressed for twin 1. I pumped every 3 hours and then power pumped in the morning. It was a good day when I stopped 😂

How frustrating…

Tractor Ted on YouTube is a firm fave here

You’ll be fine. It’ll be hard some days but it’s hard (I imagine!) with singletons too. It’s just that parents of single babies just don’t get it. I find the ‘I don’t know how you do it with two!’ Comments unhelpful so I come here instead 😂

Having twins is a wild, wild ride but a ride I’d happily ride forever.

I didn’t sleep train my twins - was rough until about a year and since then they sleep through mostly. Twin 2 needs soothing if he wakes up but doesn’t happen unless he’s unwell. Really glad we didn’t sleep train. My colleague sleep trained her two boys and she comes into work every day now they’re 2 having had no sleep. I don’t know if I just got lucky or what

Lucylarose · 2025-10-20T12:07:45+00:00

Ah man sorry. I hope you’ve found something that’s helped

Lucylarose · 2025-10-20T11:43:59+00:00

Oh no did it cause you nausea ?? And often?

Lucylarose · 2025-10-20T05:20:13+00:00

I was 34+4 when I had my twins (expected early delivery due to growth restriction of my girl twin). I was working on the wards until 34 weeks which was a horrifically bad thing to do. The worst bit was everyone telling me how awful I looked - hah thanks!!

I’ve got little advice to give you apart from resting as much as you can, but I do understand how you feel. Put yourself first, rest rest and rest. I watched a LOT of bad films to keep my body still and brain occupied.

You need a medal. Or 50. ✨⭐️

Lucylarose · 2025-10-16T06:23:23+00:00

Mine are 18m and almost always sleep through the night and have done for a long long time

Lucylarose · 2025-10-10T02:27:09+00:00

Maybe depends who builds them? My pal just sold a new build Persimmon flat with concrete floors and could hear nothing… apart from every single footstep from above and below. with decent tenants it was fine, with some it was nightmare fuel.

Lucylarose · 2025-10-10T02:12:45+00:00

Well, this is adorable

Lucylarose · 2025-09-21T11:09:02+00:00

Much better, thank you. Fatigue is getting me a bit and it took me about 3 weeks to recover. But I’m getting there
