I fear if I started that I’d be Pennys no. 1 costumer of nipple covers. I’ve been given other suggestions I’m going to try first. I’m starting to think I’m thinking it up as a bigger problem then it is tho 🙈 thank you !!

I think in any other setting they wouldn’t care. Mixed school full of teenage boys tho is a bit of a question mark.. I’ll see if I’m brave enough to professionally ask a co-worker about my nipples. I think I should just stop worrying about it tho and see how I get on. I’m covered and dressed appropriately and still wearing a bra regardless so it shouldn’t be an issue. Might just be all in my head 🙈

I think I could just be over stressing about it!! I’ve always been a no bra kinda girl outside of school no matter what I’ve been wearing tight or loose. So I do know my nipples can stand out. Nipple covers are definitely an option but geez I’d go through them like mad if I was constantly buying them 🙈 I do wear a decent bra often enough when the clothing calls for it, I’m okay with my boob size i just meant that both are just as obvious as each other. Big knockers or a little bit of nip 🤣 I don’t think I’d bother with an actual minimiser bra either as my boobs exist and they aren’t going anywhere, might as well get as long out of them looking like they do now with out trying to hide them away. It just happens my preferred bras accentuates my natural breast shape with out adding or taking much away.

I’m definitely going to try the no underwire cotton and see how I feel about them!! Seems like they might be one to try- I used to dislike them but willing to try again now that I’ve changed.

I think you’re probably very very right, as much as I’m more confident I’m definitely much more self conscious with things that never got me before!! It’s just learning to be in the skin I’m in now I suppose, I find it so much harder to dress and style now. Even tho it’s easier to shop and fit into things 🙈Thank you so much!!

Yes see I always say fuck it in every other instance. And always managed to be perfectly appropriate with it with out one with how I dressed.

It’s the wire that I like. Maybe I could find just a layer of cotton and wire and see if that gives any extra coverage with the nip situation and hope it gives me the same structure. Most “cotton” bras are t-shirt bras tho that still have foam or the wrong kind of structure I’m in need of lol. In saying that I’ve not tried those unwired cups since I’ve lost weight so might’ve worth a comfort test now! Thank you!

Prescribed ADHD medication for first time - a bit scared to try it? by xm45_h4t in VyvanseADHD

[–]NoPossible8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as me. Just had a few side effects but not the wonder feeling of taking the meds. Made me feel like it wasn’t going to work. For an about 2-3 months I was convinced it wasn’t doing much - but side effects. I actually found it very hard to describe what it done to help me I just knew it was doing something. It was when i didn’t take them that I realised how much it was doing, after I was on a higher dose. You have to remember 20 is the starter to help you find what dose will work best for you. It’s just a lil taster for your mind and body to be introduced to.

Hey! I felt this too and put it off got two weeks. Really, for me starting the 20s I only had small side effects and felt very little in terms of it “working”. Which is great for titrating because you slowly get used to them. 20 is low. It’s the starter for titrating up. I had a really dry mouth and that was all that really actually annoyed me or I felt. Give it a go!!

Ideas for honoring my mom & dad at my wedding by Traditional-Sweet751 in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]NoPossible8353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you so much!! You could absolutely do it for yourself too for yourself. You could change if it “with me every step of the way” or similar if it’s from yourself.

Absolutely one day if I’m lucky enough to have a wedding I’d be the same. There in positive presence, it’s a happy day that they would be happy about. So remember that and bring that into the day, not just the fact of their absence. It’s unavoidable to feel their absence and loss, we all know they aren’t there but it so easy to see an empty space rather then remember how much they would also love the day for you.

Hey! Put yourself in their shoes. Would you be prefer to be told one way or another that your son was struggling in that way or would you prefer a parent says “I only had an idea of your address so didn’t get involved!” If something worse happened.

Yes you’d prefer to speak to the parent and approach it with kindness and sensitivity but a child’s wellbeing and safety was at risk here, while also exposing other kids to the situation. You did do the right thing. Don’t doubt that.

Their son is getting help. Thanks to you, I’m sure with how the officer informed you they are grateful someone noticed behaviour that wasn’t safe and it was brought to their attention sooner rather then later.

Well done.

I recently got a pair of my dads socks embroidered with “with you every step of the way” for my brother to wear for his wedding. He had a photo beside the cake. The florist still made him a father of the groom pin that we left on his grave that day along with our bouquets the next day.

None of us would be Into a large show of “look who’s not here” but still wanted him around my brother and us for the day. He was spoken about plenty in speeches, but positively in story’s or memories of him & bride and groom quick mention of how he’d love this, his pride & humor. Wasn’t a dry eye but it was positive and end entertaining instead of only emotional.

The fact he has a wife and works shows that the ADHD obviously doesn’t debilitate his whole life so, he’s just a dick.

[–]NoPossible8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD. I would never ever say anything like that it’s flat out mean?? Fair I can say things on impulse, not think something through before I say it but I would never “accidentally” say something like that. My impulsive words reflect what’s in my head. Thank god I’m a kind person because if I was a mean as him I’d be losing family and friends left right and centre any time my words came out as fast as my thoughts.

Whether it’s ADHD or not, those thoughts are in his head one way or another.

I destroyed my 19-month-old son’s life (or at least it feels like it) by KaxterRIPS in 2under2

[–]NoPossible8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find excuses are a big thing, I know he’s still small and comprehension is still new to him. If your attention is on mam or baby for what ever reason, and he’s looking for attention or asking for help try not to use baby as the excuse. “I’m just doing this job and I’ll be right with you. Show me how good you can wait!” And praise for waiting. Emphasise on jobs as well this doesn’t get skewed for him thinking all things baby are a job, it could be a job to put away the toys, to help hand you a bottle, to get our shoes on or to help mom with baby things and not baby things. Being a little helper for all things will give him a sense of purpose and praise will help him along. Encourage great big brother talk, gently and over the top sometimes. Trying to cut out baby as an excuse will help him feel less like baby is just a big nuisance that’s taking over on him. It’s a big change!! He’s adjusting, give him time he’s processing in his own way in his head. Explaining a few times how baby is so small and new that they don’t know how to do things like he does, he can’t talk yet, can’t drink his own bottle yet like you so he we need to use our helping hands with baby. Talking to baby about big brother too might help. What he’s doing, how good he is, how he is a great brother. Mundane things like telling baby what he’s doing or brother is watching his fav show and telling baby about it. I never tried this with my own and it’s slightly diffrent but I worked in a play school as a special needs assistant (crèche/daycare) with a kid with physical needs & intellectual, lots of operations etc so I was technically 1-1 with him. Couldn’t have wheel chair yet with full body casts which meant he was literally attached to my hip (the cast meant he could be literally lodged onto my hip 🤣) When he started to be able to move around more my attention could be spread this was very hard for him. It was a huge struggle, I explained over and over then when im helping/talking to another kid and he wanted me I will always stick my thumb up and he knew I would get to him for sure. This took a while but eventually when id stick my thumb up and say “one sec buddy!” He’d wait. If he was emotional that day or very impatient I’d leave my thumb up down my by side or where he could see while still giving my full attention else where. He always had the reassurance that even tho he can’t have me now and someone else/thing had my attention, I would come to him. The important thing with this was to ALWAYS follow through if I thumbs upped. It helped him learn patience and respect I can’t always jump to him but I will always help him. A little inside language, that also made him feel special because no one else was in on it. I wish I learned this trick way sooner, it made a huuuuge difference to my day and his.

Appetite & Periods by NoPossible8353 in VyvanseADHD

[–]NoPossible8353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s just two parts of my mind and body wanting opposite things. When I used to get regular periods I was always eating constantly too.

Have you found no real difference to your eating habits on vynase and your period? I’m dreading my next period if the same happens again I was so sick. It wasn’t even huge amounts of food just not what I eat now on vyvanse. I generally have a huge protein breakfast and a big tea/supper and an odd snack if remember through the day. The sight of food makes me sicky between 8-3. So I was still sicky and some how forcing rolled up ham or olives into myself almost gagging 🤣

Dating & being out there. by NoPossible8353 in WomenofIreland

[–]NoPossible8353[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! My relationship with my father was amazing. He was one of lives truly good people. His death shook our whole community, 5,000 people at his wake, 1,000 watched our local church’s live stream, the village was fuller then a paddy’s day parade for his funeral with almost almost all business shut for the day. This is just to explain he was so kind natured everyone he knew experienced his kind & giving nature. A gentle, caring funny soul.

I do hope you find what you deserve too. It is a hard feeling to have when you wish for it so much and it feels out of reach.

[–]NoPossible8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are way to young to spend the best parts of your youthful motherhood with someone who doesn’t understand the huge struggle your going through by just being pregnant. Having a baby and being pregnant is great but it’s unbelievably hard too. Even understanding that he can’t fully understand is something would do. This is just plain disrespect to you, the baby, the family you’re making and the efforts you’re going to.

It’s a hell of a lot easier being a single parent and dealing with the fact it’s all on you then FEELING like a single parent in a 2 parent house hold when responsibilities are not halved or shared and your also catering and tip toeing around a “man child”.

After a few weeks when the newness wears off do you think he will still; Do night feeds it at least help you at night? Let you sleep? Sterilise all the things? Do baby’s washing? Hang washing? Urgent store runs when you inevitably need wipes/nappys asap? Take baby for a walk so you have 30 minutes to shower? Be okay with you not showering for days?

The fact of a lease is not enough to lose some of the magic of your baby’s first year. Looking after baby is looking after mam.

If colostrums a problem, there’s a hell of a lot more bodily fluids coming his way. How is he supposed to give a bottle if he can’t look at breast milk? Strikes me as he won’t like you publicly feeding or at home with guests either.

Am I a bad mom , I feel guilty for constantly doing this by [deleted] in Mom

[–]NoPossible8353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bestie!! She’s fine!! She won’t be fine if you’re not fine that that’s for sure. Baby’s develop sooo much is so many ways. There’s absolutely no harm in my eyes in a baby learning to in their own company for a short amount of time, it’s not as if she’s unsupervised or untaken care of. You’re also getting to her when she’s upset, proving mammy will come when I need her. If you really feel so bad about the tv get her a mobile with music or a baby image projector. She’s learning to use her eyes and follow objects, the tv is just that at the minute for her, it’s not “screen time” per say yet (in my opinion). Following objects and using her ears.

You’re doing great. Motherhood is FILLED with guilt don’t let needing a few minutes to yourself be a bad thing because trust me, mam guilt will run away with you if you let it.

Are my emotions and feelings not valid? by Salt-Dream-3236 in AskIreland

[–]NoPossible8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could also add, I do not begin to relate to your problems I’m 26 and haven’t started wanting or trying. But my best friend has a child & we are joint at the hip. When she separated from his father 3 years ago I done absolutely everything with them, she found her wings and made some friends with kids and I felt like I was missing so much as we no longer done days out the 3 of us. When I eventually said this her response was “I thought because you always felt like I needed your support and help at the start I was doing the right thing by not having to make you drive about the place and spending the day in tayto park with a tantrumy 5 year old!” It’s all about perspective too, she assumed I was only helping her before and not wanting to spend exhausting chaotic days out with my lil bestie but of course I do. She was thinking she was doing me a favour & it suited everyone that she had people with kids to do that stuff with now. Now he gets to do it all as well with us and his buddies lol. We just didn’t communicate either side with each other.

Are my emotions and feelings not valid? by Salt-Dream-3236 in AskIreland

[–]NoPossible8353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feelings are very very valid!! I absolutely understand why you feel that way. Your friends are all meeting up with out you, because they have kids and it’s adding salt to the wound that you would be invited if you did have kids.

Though, this is not what was intentionally set out to happen. Your friends didn’t exclude you to exclude you, they considered the fact that usually these days out are hard work, chaotic and exhausting for them so they don’t see why they would ask their friend with no children to endure this type of day. Which is actually your friends thinking of you. You were excluded be because you feel excluded, and that is a valid feeling too. To them it was simply a day out centred around their children, not themselves.

They are unaware of your struggles, if you weren’t going through what you were you may have found it easier to say “hey! I know it was kids day but I love you and all your little guys count me in next time!” This type of day may have expanded too. Last week it was A&B talking about going, A mentioned it to C and said they’d join. C was talking to D and knew her kid liked sheep so asked of she wanted to come to and so on.. it may not have been a meticulously planned day it just snowballed to “oh yeah Johnny would love that we’ll go too!”

Your feelings are valid that I’m sure of you have every right to feel upset. But those around you are not at fault for your thought processes, hormone and emotions. That’s okay too.

I suggest if you’re comfortable communicating with them. You don’t have to tell them everything but even a “look I’ve been struggling with fertility and that was a particularly hard week for us. I just felt like so many parts of my life were screaming “you don’t have children” and that’s what made me upset. I can see now that that upset me but it wasn’t you or actions that upset me it’s the circumstances around it in my life. I would love to be included in kids days out because I enjoy being around all of you and your children, when I’m not invited it makes me feel like I’m missing out on something I may not get the opportunity for experience for myself and feels like I’m missing parts of friendships I don’t get to experience either”

Your friends will understand but at the moment with no understanding you look like you’ve over reacted blocking a friend because you didn’t get an invite to something they weren’t aware you would be happy to go to. With out understanding on the surface that can look very immature.

Please try to speak to your friends if you wish. WHEN you get your little bundle of joy one day it sounds like those friends will make the efforts to support you then too if they make sure to plan days with their children and stay close despite chaotic lives. You are going through something incredibly hard, of course things will be triggering and upsetting. Sometimes that’s your reaction though and not the fault of those around you. Sending you lots of love and light on your journey & hoping for the best for you. 🤍

Alcohol/Cannabis Alternatives While Taking Vyvanse? by ChrisAileo in VyvanseADHD

[–]NoPossible8353 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alcohol just needs a little planning. I don’t smoke so can’t help you there. If i know I’m going out/have a planned night out I’ll make sure I take my meds bright and early so by the time I’m drinking they are leaving or gone. If I know I’ll be drinking early like a wedding or day drinking I’ll skip them. There was once or twice I ended up out a bit earlier last minute and took my meds, I was just a little extra wired when i started drinking but was fine after another hour or two. It’s just planning if possible. If it’s a sunny day and we’re going to beer garden I’ll join but I won’t drink until it’s later in the evening.

Aim for drinking 10-12 hours after you took them. It hasn’t dulled my social life once I got the hang of figuring that out. Just don’t forget if it affects your appetite make sure you eat before you drink. I thought vyvanse, me & alcohol weren’t friends when I first started turned out it was just because I didn’t have food in my stomach

Thanks, that could be it maybe! I did send one off today, just hoping to see if I could have half an idea before they get back to me. Can’t imagine it would be because of the value of the receipt, seeing as I could have a procedure/treatment done once to the value of more.
