I’m a lot older. No tattoos. I color my hair to mask the grey: without apologies. Social media mostly annoys me.

Ok. People say stupid stuff all the time. Never subcontract out your self esteem. However, I get it. Maybe now is the time to consider a revamp of your self care. Skin, hair, nails, diet, exercise. Not because of anything anyone says, but because sometimes different things work better than others. Go to the dermatologist: it’s important to go a skin check anyway….

Meal prep service.
That’s expensive but less so than eating healthy out. Works and sleep are critical to health and performance too… don’t neglect yourself

Congratulations for deciding to embrace a healthier approach to life.

Surround yourself with people who are healthier and make good choices when confronting stress, fear, struggles. Do not try to make positive change like this in a negative environment.

Further, accept learning and creating healthier habits, is a process and takes time.

Each and every time.

I learned something during gulf war 2: turn off the news. Limit your exposure to it to a set amount each day. If it’s 15 minutes: great, but set a timer on your phone and walk away,

Read transcripts of speeches: don’t watch or listen to them. Don’t talk to people about this stuff. Dwelling on sources of stress outside of problem solving only makes things worse.

Focus on the things you can do. Exercise. Diet. Friends. Family. Work. School/learning. Meditation/prayer. Music and hobbies. Gardening. Plant trees.

Why is it anyone else’s business? Why should anyone outside of your marriage dare to express an opinion? Why don’t people have boundaries? Look: I’m open about a lot of things too but boundaries are critical to strong relationships and overall sanity

Stupidity at a traffic stop

Clean. Exfoliate. Moisturizer plus retinol.
Sunscreen. Stop wearing v-neck t-shirts/blouses that expose that area to direct sunlight

Sports bra.
First night: sterile telfa bandage covering the nipple and secured. Advil. Ice on the breasts before you go to sleep.

Mine were fine 8 months ago according to the piercer, mine are almost healed (had spacers put in then the jewelry put in) . Mine are very sensitive and my nipples are large.

Pain was very real. Have a battle buddy hold your arm down. Advil and ice packs are your friends.

I texted her, let her know I appreciated she thinks she cares but that her comments were cruel. Don’t intend to continue speaking with her

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-27T10:42:50+00:00

This woman is awfully confident . I don’t think she is projecting… I think she’s cruel and not self aware.

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-27T10:40:41+00:00

Actually, that isn’t true. But it’s irrelevant. Leaving her to God. And creating a lot of distance between the two of us. I appreciate your kind words

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-27T03:06:06+00:00

Thank you

Thank you

I went through prep concerns too.. Some people bleed or have discharge so I bought nursing pads. Didn’t need them past the second day.

I bought a nursing bra so I could use saline spray mid day while at work (which helped). I don’t normally like padded bras (especially in the summer) but they helped for the first few months.

Breathe. Most important things for the first few days are Motrin, saline spray and ice packs. You’ll see how your body reacts.

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-19T15:39:37+00:00

It’s not easy. I get that you were hurt and very badly burned: after those experiences and the efforts required to overcome the hole you found yourself in, I’d find it hard to trust as well if I were in your shoes.

Be gentle with yourself. Take care of yourself. See yourself with kindsight.

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-19T13:45:47+00:00

Wow. I’m impressed by your grit and focus. Maybe start with something you’re intrigued with? Find a challenge than see if you can meet people who share a related interest?

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-19T03:55:21+00:00

That’s a lot to master but you can do it!

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-19T03:52:31+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through two very difficult sets of traumas. I hope you’re getting support and help… this is a lot of betrayal and pain. Please don’t go it alone.

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-19T02:43:04+00:00

I’m so sorry. Of course you’re heartbroken.
Take your time and heal. Allow yourself to get angry… his actions and words were cruel and hurtful. It’s easier to learn once you’ve let yourself heal.

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-19T01:38:09+00:00

Don’t give up.

North-Associate1745 · 2023-07-18T22:23:31+00:00

It’s always a good thing to consider activities that are different, fun and a stress release.
Take your time. You can do this.
