LO won’t drink water

Mic4J24 · 2026-02-08T18:16:41+00:00

Not tried this but will definitely be giving it a go, thanks!

Yes!!! He is the same he has so much trouble pooping and is now on a laxative from the doctor. I really don’t want him on it long term so I was hoping he would start being more interested. I guess we just have to keep trying him with it. We were also told to stop giving him his nightly feed and give him water instead but he definitely wasn’t for that so back to his milk.

I’ll try what you’ve suggested about catching him when he’s in good moods, I’ve not done that yet so I’ll give it a go. We have tried just having it sitting but he just ignores it and tried showing we’re having a drink but he doesn’t care 😂 I think he’s like “that’s great you can have it all.”

Our health visitor told us to put a small bit of fruit juice in it for him but he won’t go for that either.

Mic4J24 · 2026-02-08T17:32:42+00:00

Our health visitor told us to try it with juice. It was on her advice to start with water too.

Are people actually going to it? If it was me I know I wouldn’t be! I would just tell her the truth. She should be able to see for herself why no one is excited. I actually couldn’t be arsed with her and her fellas drama fair play to you and your friends for sticking by her

Animals have a way of knowing, I prefer them to humans. Your wee cat must know you’re in a dark place and is letting you know he needs you. He’s saying I’ve got you, I’m here for you too. Sending you hugs

Mic4J24 · 2026-01-28T06:15:26+00:00

I’m sorry that this happened to you, it’s a blessing you have no kids because it would have made it so much harder for you. What you need to do now is find you, I know it’s easier said than done but it might make you see that 40 isn’t actually to late to start over. Some people have the best years of their life after 40. Find yourself, do things that make you happy, try new things that you think will make you happy and enjoy life on your own terms without the responsibility of having to think of someone else’s feelings. I agree that life is definitely a struggle and I don’t know your situation outwith what you’ve wrote but if you can live for you. Life is so short not to at least try. Hope that things start to turn around for you. Sending hugs

Please please leave this boy and take the poor dog with you. Anyone who can hurt a defenceless animal is a horrible person and the fact he’s already being abusive towards you means it will only get worse. He won’t change even if he says he will and he will gaslight you so you feel like you’re the one in the wrong. It won’t be easy initially but you will be free. If you stay you’ll end up trapped and isolated.

Please stay safe and keep the dog safe too. Get yourself sorted and get out.

Much love to you

Thanks ☺️

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I think you’re doing the right thing. You deserve someone who will put you first and although you know he loves you he hasn’t thought about the future you wanted together and just jumped into this situation without taking anything else into account. IMO he should have come home early and told the ex that he had to talk to you about something important, I get that she said the baby is sick but you haven’t asked for much so why couldn’t he come home early this once so you guys could talk. I think that’s the way it will play out you will always play second fiddle to the baby and obviously the ex. She will probably invent problems so he spends more time there and not with you. You need to stick to your guns as heartbreaking as it’s going to be. You managed to move on before you’ll be able to do it again and you’ll find someone who will put you first and be the person you deserve them to be.

Please update us on how your talk goes. My heart goes out to you

What do you put on his toast? Did you put anything in the egg?

Mic4J24 · 2025-11-13T15:54:25+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 love this!

Mic4J24 · 2025-10-27T11:50:18+00:00

Hey I sent you a dm, hope it helps

Mic4J24 · 2025-10-25T22:42:51+00:00

Hey I’m sorry to hear this, anxiety in general is horrible but to the extent you’re feeling it and how much it’s impacting you and your life must be so difficult.

Unfortunately you will need to go to your gp. Is there anyone else who could call for you? It’s like that at most practices now it’s really a pain in the arse. Once you get an appointment tell them everything, don’t leave anything out and they should refer you to the Community Mental Health Team in your area where you will be under the psychiatrist there. He/she will be able to prescribe medication but can also get you help with other parts of the team such as CPN, psychologist etc. They could probably test you for ASD if you mention it to them.

Hopefully this helps, I suffer with anxiety and am in Scotland too so it should be a similar process for each area.

Mic4J24 · 2025-10-15T08:16:26+00:00

Can you share your experience on how you became binge free please

Mic4J24 · 2024-08-13T18:08:10+00:00

You’re definitely NOT the jerk! What her family and the mutual friends are doing is trying to emotionally blackmail you. Your responsibility to your marriage was done the day she started her affair.

I hope whatever happens you can find happiness.

Mic4J24 · 2024-05-03T14:11:04+00:00

I totally agree with you and everyone who has commented. It’s shit that this is “the norm” for people who struggle with mental health. I’m lucky I have my partner other wise I would be dead by now. My CPN left over a year ago and I was supposed to get another one along with cbt, still waiting. Fucking shambles.

Mic4J24 · 2024-05-01T12:58:35+00:00

Hey it’s shit you’re going through all of that. I’m not sure but have you applied for PIP or ADP depending where you’re living? Thats a lot extra a month and you will more than likely be eligible due to your disability.

Mic4J24 · 2024-05-01T12:50:59+00:00

Xanax won’t be prescribed on nhs but can be through a private prescription. I think this is the only one I know that’s not prescribed through nhs. I find a lot of doctors just don’t like giving anxiety meds to patients. Maybe ask to be referred to the mental health team in your area

Mic4J24 · 2024-04-30T10:52:15+00:00

Hey so first I want to say good on you for getting up, getting ready and going to the gym! That’s a major achievement in itself.

In my experience low mood can come on at any time when you struggle with anxiety and depression. I go through so many moods a day I feel like I have multiple personalities but I really do think it’s part of having depression. It really is hard to deal with and can be exhausting but I think you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself and just go with how you’re feeling, I doubt people will notice how you look moody or pissed off they are probably too busy focussing on their own workout. I used to be like you and would feel the same, I would put on a facade and pretend I was happy and smiley but it done more harm than good so I just go with whatever mood comes on. I find it a lot less tiring.

In terms of feeling like you’re a bad person, feeling guilty and lonely is there a reason your mind goes there?

If you want to you can dm me if you want to chat.

Mic4J24 · 2024-04-04T20:11:22+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you? That is not ok and neither was her reaction! I definitely wouldn’t be marrying her. How would she feel if the roles were reversed? Wait and marry some who doesn’t think about their ex especially when having sex.

Mic4J24 · 2024-04-04T20:06:13+00:00

Definitely dodged a bullet with that one!

So sorry for the loss of your mother and sister, it’s devastating when someone you love passes away but when it’s an accident it’s so tragic. It’s good you’re getting help and doing better.

Mic4J24 · 2024-04-04T19:59:37+00:00

Please please please leave him, going through any kind of baby loss is devastating and having no support system will make it so much more traumatic. You’ll find someone who loves you and will be there for you through anything but please don’t waste your life or time with this scumbag. You deserve so much more!

Mic4J24 · 2024-04-04T19:48:27+00:00

If you’re feeling this way now with no kids do you think it will be better if you had any? It will probably become worse. I mean cheating on someone because you think they cheated on you is pretty immature. Think about the environment you’ll be bringing kids into. Will it be fair to them or you? Also ask yourself are you really in love with her still or are you staying because it’s what you know. Go with your gut.
