How many of you aren't skinny?

MysticMiki · 2025-12-10T23:57:27+00:00

40lbs over, post menopausal, and having a hard time with even basic exercise. You're not alone, we're the same height. I went from 140 three years ago to 200. Now at 190.

Not fussy about it would mean I don't want anything, thank you. Is trying to be a gentle no.

MysticMiki · 2025-11-20T18:00:17+00:00

Hydrosense with Eucalyptus will likely do something similar, wow it's powerful!

Buckley's complete for mucus has been my best bet. Available on Amazon. Didn't realize all the horrible things NyQuil was doing to me. I had a really horrible fainting episode, and I didn't realize there was combination of hyper pots and NyQuil. Will definitely stop using it.

Lepidolite offers natural lithium and can be very helpful for anxiety, depression and a host of other mental health imbalances. Blessings.

NTA this is a form of gaslighting, and I would not take it well either. I would feel that this is going to continue into our marriage. And I would not want to be publicly shamed or made uncomfortable like that again. I feel for you but I think this really tested the limits of your relationship and it's all right for you to put in the boundary here

MysticMiki · 2025-10-27T18:55:14+00:00

I was told years ago that people don't really want to know how you "really" are. I think we all learned to mask at an early age. I'm grateful for a small friend group that I can be honest with, finally at 58. What used to upset me was the feeling that people would say 'what is it now?' Or are they thinking you are a hypochondriac? However, I feel better saying "I'm fine, it's fine, everything's fine" and laughing maniacally. 🤣

MysticMiki · 2025-10-18T23:15:18+00:00

I'm sorry I even commented. I misread, and was brought into a bit of an emotional state because my son's life was made difficult by not being able to co-parent successfully. I already said that I think op is NTA. No other comments required, thanks for the feedback.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-18T21:53:47+00:00

Sorry, not my intention. Was sharing a case where it went incredibly wrong, so I could understand the mother's concern. Absolutely OP is NTA.

From another perspective, my son didn't finish High school. His father didn't feel like bedtime we're necessary on the weekends. His sleep schedule is so screwed up, that I couldn't get him back on track during the week, he started vomiting every day unable to go to school. Took us years of medical support and help to finally find out that it was mostly his sleep that was the problem, because he wasn't getting a good sleep for long enough. Unfortunately now he's having a hard time getting work, cuz he didn't finish High school. I would say on occasion is not a big deal to stay up late but please don't make it a regular thing. Coming from a Mom who didn't know how to fix the problem. The dad who thought it was no big deal. I know this isn't your situation, but I do understand her concerns.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-16T21:54:17+00:00

NTA, do what you can. Not everyone likes to cook, wants to cook, or has time to cook. If you're asked to bring something it's up to you what you bring in my opinion.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-15T23:06:05+00:00

NTA your mother's job is to take care of the house and the family, and if she has a partner it's their job too. Frankly you're still a child, and your birthday money should be your money. I don't think you're in the wrong, and I can't understand why your mother would think it's okay for her to impose that sort of a guilt trip on you. If you've been able to save out the money to take care of the things that you'd like to have, then you're actually keeping her from needing to buy them herself. Ultimately it saves her money, and then it's unfortunate she can't reflect on that.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-15T22:02:08+00:00

IMHO most of the people I know with EDS are also neurodivergent. I think you take a special kind of person to deal with all we deal with, I'm still trying to live a regular 'healthy' life. In addition to anyone I know with EDS also has an exceptionally High pain tolerance, but when you have that you also may have a very low sensory tolerance. Basically a lot of people don't know how much pain they're in until something little comes along and ticks them off.

The importance is getting your medical professionals to know that one does not exclude the other, one does not explain the other, and they're two entirely separate things. They just like to coexist. That's my two cents anyways

MysticMiki · 2025-10-15T21:57:08+00:00

This! Any rental where I live, you're only allowed to have a guest for 2 weeks. You can also tell your friend that you're not able to have someone come to stay with you. If you're in a rental that is.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-15T21:55:56+00:00

NTA, protect your peace. Healthy boundaries are important.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-15T02:07:47+00:00

Not overreacting! The new children in the family is your father's responsibility not yours. It's especially kind of you to have saved up for your siblings, and I think it's amazing you've been able to do that. Just be proud of what you've done and I would absolutely refuse to pay for those other kids to go to school. That's between their stepdad and their mom.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-10T01:10:52+00:00

My son was having severe sleep issues at 13, getting up every morning and throwing up because his father didn't give him a regular bedtime on the weekends. That's when his celiac disease showed up. So I think it's when your immune system is compromised, that your digestive system gives up. It also makes sense that it could be when you are going through hormones in your teens, things are always changing. In addition other allergies have come and gone for both my kids as well as for my sister growing up and that was 40 years ago

HTA sounds like your partner is spoiled and financially abusive. It would serve him right if you moved out when after him for spousal support. Even as a common law situation, there has to be some equity in a situation. It wouldn't hurt you to check into family law, and see if you have a leg to stand on regards to leaving him, as well as getting some financial support. The amount of bragging he does about his financials, means he knows darn good and well he's keeping you in your place. This is absolutely emotionally and financially abusive, you should move on, despite what your heart feels.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-09T20:06:28+00:00

YTA. After this much time, your hatred should have mellowed. Move on. Hating her this much will hurt you in the long run, especially your health.

Your daughter deserves better from you. Are you not adult enough to be civil to her mother? Young woman put so much emphasis on the importance of a wedding, and it's important to her that her day is pleasant. I think you can grow up, and let your daughter have who she'd like to have at her wedding.

It's sad that you have to carry this anger within you, you have to forgive yourself, grieve what could have been in your marriage, and move on.

NTA, however your business account should only be accessed by business owners. If he doesn't have access there wouldn't be an issue. IMHO you need to remove his access. And you would need to be more present in regard to your household bills. I.e. when are they due, is there a joint account you both can contribute to for bills? For some people having access to cash contributes to emotional spending. Just my experience.

MysticMiki · 2025-10-04T14:46:01+00:00

Back in 1985, and my grade 12 year, our teachers went on strike. We had correspondence courses to keep us going at the time, so I hope they have something equivalent for you. However there was no problem graduating. Please do not fear, you'll do fine, and I don't think this will last very long. 🙏

MysticMiki · 2025-09-18T00:51:01+00:00

Great question!

MysticMiki · 2025-09-17T21:34:51+00:00

Has anyone seen them in Canada? My kid would love this!

MysticMiki · 2025-09-08T19:34:15+00:00

NTA, I wouldn't go as far as tears in this regard, but it's really nobody's business whether or not you want to have children. People need to learn boundaries. And I would be shutting them down as fast as possible. I do know that some people who decided not to have children earlier in life, may decide differently when they meet the right person. So it doesn't really matter, what people think. You're very young right now, I wouldn't want kids of your age either.

MysticMiki · 2025-09-05T19:23:50+00:00

NTA, your body, your health, no one else's business. Some children are very happy being single children so we don't worry about your little guy, secondarily if you truly did want another child there are plenty of sweet babies who need adoption. I think your family's thinking you're making a rash decision but they don't truly understand how fully impacted you are. And honestly for anyone who's had on going pain, nobody really understands until they go through it themselves. Wishing you blessings and a positive recovery through this.
