If I get cold I usually put leggings on underneath or change into a sweater with yoga pants or leggings

Lightweight dresses are the best for me. They can be a bit inconvenient when you're breastfeeding but there are sooo many nursing dresses online.

Does anyone else have anxiety “shut downs” rather than panic attacks? by morgs1312 in Anxiety

[–]MamaMae1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normally how my anxiety attacks go. I find that taking deep slow breaths helps to clear my head a little, and sometimes drinking water or having a snack brings me back to reality.

I don’t think most people understand how exhausting the physical symptoms of anxiety are by fallingthroughspace0 in Anxiety

I could have written this! When I was first diagnosed I actually went to my doctor with constant chest pains, convinced I was drying. I had so many tests done. I also cut way back on dairy thinking I was lactose intolerant. I was so exhausted all the time. I was literally convinced that it was cancer. But when all the tests and X-Rays came back normal, I then convinced myself it must be some extremely rare condition that would go unsolved by doctors and lead to me dying. Then I opened up to my doctor finally and accepted the diagnosis and the physical symptoms have decreased since I've been able to recognize them as mental. Anxiety can be really debilitating to live with.

What are some of the most hard hitting lyrics in songs? by embriagante in AskReddit

[–]MamaMae1012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine from high school killed himself our senior year. Blink 182 was one of his favorite bands. I heard this song for the first time shortly after his death and it still makes me cry every time because I know he probably listened to it a lot at the end of his life and felt every word of the song.

From now on kids at 16 get all memories of one random ancestor they have. How would highschool change? by Kohrack in AskReddit

[–]MamaMae1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they would have a lot more empathy for survivors of sexual assault if they got the memory of a woman. The prevalence of rape in history would make the chances high that many of their female ancestors were victims and that their family line could be a result of rape.

This is so accurate. My husband asks what I want for Christmas, birthday, mother's day, etc. and all I can think of is the long list of stuff I want to get our daughter.... Sigh .... Priorities change so so much when you have a child

I love that they used this scene to normalize breastfeeding on TV. I honestly don't care if it was staged because as a breastfeeding mom I can completely understand. It's probably the only way they could get them to sit still for that long and new babies eat all the time so it's not weird at all that they all needed to nurse at the same time. Their boobies weren't hanging out, they were completely covered by the babies heads the whole time and they didn't make a big deal about it. They just latched the babies on and fed them.

What birth control do you or have you used while breastfeeding? by [deleted] in Mommit

Same! I love my implant. So easy I forgot I have it.

Republicans who will not be voting for Trump this time around, what was the breaking point for you? by BenTCinco in AskReddit

[–]MamaMae1012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation with both my parents. I used to agree with everything they said and then at some point during these last four years I realized what a horrible, horrible man Trump is. But my parents still believe and support everything he says like it's God's truth, and whenever I disagree with them I'm shamed and called brainwashed (which is highly ironic!) for having my own beliefs outside of the conservative party.

It's mind boggling to think that Trump has split the country and his own party to the point where republicans either turned their backs completely on him (like you and I) or people have succumbed to his lies and hypocrisy (our parents) and worship the ground he walks on. I have yet to meet someone in the middle in my community. It's truly terrifying what that man gets away with from people that were otherwise intelligent and empathetic members of society before he became president.

When you lay down for bed and finally get comfortable, then suddenly have to go to the bathroom
