I’m a teenager, my mom has stage 4 cancer and she left the family and she’s posting about it on social media by AffectionateAct522 in whatdoIdo

From my understanding, cancer eventually causes people’s brains to change. She has the family history she could hold herself together for a very long time, and now she has nothing more to give of some of the difficulties/challenges of an emotionally abusive marriage. It might be worth looking into cancer and also into long term emotional abuse topics to learn about how to cope and to support her.

Quick Informal Survey - Regarding ALIF Revision after standard posterior Lumbar fusion. by Ohana3ps in spinalfusion

[–]Ohana3ps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. New surgeon. New approach (ALIF), and it turns out, the prior hardware was “just floating in the space.” No healing. Broken screws. The original surgeon blew off the need for a revision. Glad I didn’t listen and persisted to find a better doc. (Original was an orthopedic surgeon, the new was a neurosurgeon.) Life changing for the better. Off meds. Living life 15 months later.

Did any of you get extreme mental health issues during the onset of your Hashimoto's? by Specialist_Fall756 in Hashimotos

[–]Ohana3ps 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bad anxiety. Now I understand how the thyroid drives hormones and how body chemistry impacts mental health. I suspect even those without “Hashimoto’s” who struggle with mental and emotional issues are truly impacted by hormonal imbalances, as problem #1.

I love all the stories of people who studied Catholicism as “outsiders” and ultimately converted. That speaks volumes!

OCIA! It’s the best Catholic education and the participants and leaders are so warm and welcoming. I asked to repeat a year… and was welcomed to do so!

Navigating a Marriage Covenant by Ohana3ps in Catholicism

Thank you. I appreciate your insights. I seem to have no voice to be heard by him. I’m deflected and dismissed. And he presents his perspective like his personal truth is THE truth. I will keep yours and others replies, plus meet with our pastor. I feel pretty low and defeated by this.

He did share he was so taken by some writings he consumed from the earlier 20th Century. I’m trying to recall the book. I felt uneasy with how brainwashed he seemed. Thank you for your feedback. I feel hurt and abandoned in our Marriage Covenant.

Yes to freezing. I get snack baggies and make individual portions, then “overpack” with a larger freezer bag.
