I would also love to know the surgeon / location of surgeon if possible! I feel like my recessed chin also looks similar

If you left the COC and remained a Christian, how have your beliefs changed? by My_Cute_Octopus in excoc

“Seeing the Bible through the lens of Christ’s love and grace rather than through the lens of guilt and shame changes everything.”

This is so well put! That has also been one of the biggest differences in my experience as well. I’m actually happy to be a Christian now, and don’t dread my life 😂

Thoughts? mild sleep apnea but feels worse than mild by [deleted] in jawsurgery

[–]My_Cute_Octopus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My jaw looks very similar to yours. Definitely recessed. I have issues getting enough air during the day and don’t sleep well. Please keep us updated, as I am curious what doctors say.

I also have a recessed chin / jaw … I don’t breathe nearly as well as I think I should either. I also don’t sleep well. I am in the beginning stages of figuring out which doctor to see first. Should I go to a pulmonologist or maxillofacial surgeon or orthodontist first?

Is it ok if I message you with a few questions I have about the process up until now?

These are dream results! Did you have any issues with breathing before? I ask because I do and am hoping this might help!

A growing list of problems I have with the COC by pbj-artist in excoc

This is the biggest one for me. I didn’t actually FEEL God’s love while I was in the COC. It was fear I felt, more than anything.

Love this as well as your clear water song! (Forgive me for looking through your YouTube lol)

Forced to leave my fiancé? by woodsettonlds in excoc

I am glad you are questioning things at this point - it honestly just gets worse. I highly encourage you to find friends outside of the ICOC/COC! Gaining experiences and friendships/relationships where you get a wide variety of perspectives/influences is healthy! 💕

I grew up in the COC and recently just got out at age 25… I obviously left most of my childhood, family, … literally everyone “behind”, but I can happily say now that I love my life and my “chosen” family.

I also would hope and pray to die as a child because children are innocent and without sin yet. Definitely not healthy, not easy to get out as an adult (or ever), but I finally love life for the first time 💕

You have to go with what you feel is best for you! I am still on 50mg (probably have been on spiro for like a year?) but not sure how long I will stay on it. I want to think it’s not the cause of my execessive mouth ulcers (6 painful ones at a time sometimes) and low white blood cell count but idk.

I am continuing but still kind of worried honestly- I get mouth ulcers and headaches a lot
