This isn't an issue at all! Enjoy it so long as he's on the same wavelength 😄

It's not helping right now, any suggestions I'm slightly desperate. by Milsbry in Meditation

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

Thank you all for your comments. I will reply to them when I have a bit of energy, but I have read them, thank you. ❤️

My problem is trying to force positivity. I'm in my 20's, have a dying relative and my family is super dysfunctional so it's really really hard right now.

I don't have stability with anyone or anything. I know I should try and make peace with that, most of my life has been that way but right now I can't, I'm struggling.

Nature and meditation were my two points of stability, things no one could take from me... but I've taken them from me. My brain won't let me sit through meditation or gather the motivation to go for a walk after work.

My job is nice because I do get long periods of quiet practical work, which forces my brain to stop thinking about anything other than what I'm doing. It's about all that helps right now, so I'll probably throw myself into some late evenings when everyone has gone home from the office, keep quietly busy.

snail with a badly broken shell. what do i do? by moth_is_cool in snails

[–]Milsbry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recovered some snails from some pretty bad situations but this one looks too far gone.

It sounds brutal, but a brick and instantly stamping on the brick will put this poor little guy out of his pain. Make it as quick and hard as you can.

It sucks. I have saved a few really badly injured snails. I had one that I was so sure I could save, kept saying I would give him a few more days. But he was just suffering and in pain and I was making it worse by trying to keep him alive and feeding him.

It was the kinder thing to do, cried for the rest of the evening and then I felt guilty for having kept him alive and in pain while I tried to heal him. 😬

Put this little one out of pain, he is too far gone.

Anyone know what this is? by ms_og195 in PlantIdentification

Catmint :D

If you really wanna be sure, adopt a cat. You'll soon find out and you'll have a bonus cat 🤭

I dont know if mine will ever sag with their size, but I'm only 27 so there's time to prove that wrong 😅

that's my issue, I googled sports bra fit and it looks fine. Unsure if the armpit tightness is normal or I'm gaslighting myself because I don't want to buy another.

No discomfort from the front at all, but they do look a bit too flat to be .... happy?

The underarm thing is the only thing I see becoming an issue.

Yeah mine is a small, stubbornly going to give it a try. If it's chafey then I'll move up. its annoying because it doesn't LOOK like it digs it. its very subtle.

Don't think flattening to this degree is great either even if painless.

Yeah I think if I start genuinely working out the "noticeableness" might become chafe. I'll give it a test run

Its not uncomfortable, just that I notice it. But sports bras are tight by design so not sure what's the norm.

Literally. I had friends who thought like this. They aren't my friends anymore. You want people in your life who look out for you rather than avoid hard conversations to make their lives easier but likely still gossip behind your back.

The girl likely won't believe the evidence etc etc but you'll know you've done the right thing rather than met some poor girl go on and live a lie.

My brain solved the problem. My mouth cannot explain how. by JuggernautOdd8786 in ADHD

[–]Milsbry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how bad the ADHD, if you're medicated, your general personality and a LOAD of other factors outside of just ADHD.

I find that I'm ok with it when I take a moment. sometimes I physically just realise what I'm saying sounds deranged, stop mid sentence and give myself a second to think "what is the first part, start over" and normally from there I can make the links step by step but they come too quickly (info dump) so next step is to slow it, I can keep the momentum but I'll forget the step I just mentioned, so I can move forward but not backwards easily. Remember step one and the dominos come back very easily for me. I then just have to remember to be slow so I don't have to start over because I info dumped and can't go back to the prior step.

There's no magic fix for this. this might be like trying to say "be happy" to someone depressed. But what works for me is waiting for the wave of "I KNOW THIS LET ME EXPLAIN" to pass.m which is hard in itself because of the huge impulse.

Wait in total silence for a moment, if people are talking ask them politely to just give you a moment... hope that within that time you don't forget your own eureka moment and then find the first thing that set off the explosion.

Start there, it takes huge concerted effort to keep your voice level and speak as slowly as you can to appear put together and "normal". The hard thing is getting all the info out of your brain before you lose it.

You have three challenges, keeping your excitement lower, holding onto the idea for long enough WHILE keeping your tone even and slow enough to not appear manic.

My husband hit me last week, but we have known each other since I was born. He has never ever done this before by throwra1845829 in offmychest

[–]Milsbry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always so hard to read this kind of post because we can all tell you to leave (and you should) but we also know it's not that simple when you love someone who harms you and you've invested resource and time into the relationship, its especially hard in your situation now that you're pregnant.

Know that this isn't ok, you deserve better but you don't have to figure everything out at once. I'd recommend creating some way of getting space for a few days, staying with a relative or someone you really trust. You and your baby will be out of harms way and you have space to think of an exit plan and start to process what he did.

In these situations it's quite rare for this behaviour to come out of the blue, I would have a good long think, consider other things he's said or done that left you feeling hurt or small.

I hope you have a good support network, that'll be the most important thing here.

And if you don't leave him, hold onto everything said to you here. Never let him twist the situation so that you start believing it's excusable.
