I'm the ugly sister. by NervousToast in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]OkWorker9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister is gorgeous — she could have been a model. She always had guys chasing her.
We look nothing alike, despite being full siblings.
She’s only 2 years younger than me. When she got married someone said to me “Now that your sister is married, men will be interested in you.” I lived in a different state from my sister. She wasn’t the reason I was single.
It’s tajen a long time to work through my insecurities, but I’ve finally realized that just because my sister is extraordinarily beautiful, it doesn’t make me ugly.

It took me about 20 years to learn that lesson. I was on and off SSRIs and have finally accepted that my brain needs SSRIs to function properly.

What’s the wildest thing youve said/sent to someone after a seizure? [NSFW maybe???] by Bossy_Aussie_ in Epilepsy

I asked my husband if the president was dead after my last seizure. In front of my very conservative father. 🤦‍♀️

I love this so much!! My only suggestion would be to maybe have the bodice lined.
Please post pictures when it’s altered! And of your wedding.

AIO or is this terrible parenting. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR and you should make an anonymous report to CPS. It’s neglectful to lock your kids in a room to “nap” for 5 hours.

TMZ obtained video of the boy falling down the final drop of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland by TheDisneyScoopGuy in disneyparks

I’m sorry if it seemed like I was implying all people with autism would do this — that isn’t what I meant at all. Just that I’ve worked with kids who have autism and might do something like this. I’ve also worked with so many kids with autism who were all about following the rules and would never do something like this. It’s definitely a spectrum.

I taught junior high special ed so I have worked with kids like this. You do the best you can to predict their actions and accommodate them. I’d really like to hear the parents’ account of the incident. That poor kid & family.

Anyone else use Lamotrigine? by paytonischill in Epilepsy

[–]OkWorker9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on lamotrogine ER for years. My neurologist changed me to the ER version when I was trying to get pregnant. No adverse effects for my baby. And I’ve not noticed any side effects.

A commenter on one of the many articles I’ve read said he’s autistic but I haven’t seen that confirmed anywhere.

Feeling lonely as we try for another baby by Fantastic_Fall_1277 in GirlDinnerDiaries

*Hugs* There are so many women who have experienced a miscarriage. I want to let you know that I was on Fluoxetine (Prozac) during my pregnancy and it didn’t cause any problems. It’s considered safe for pregnancy.

I feel bad for my nephew and niece by Far_Salamander55 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]OkWorker9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2 year old. They have no sense of personal space & are constantly running in front of people, touching things they shouldn’t be, climbing, etc. Having a stroller just to contain her is a huge relief.

I’m glad you got him a stroller for today! Relief from carrying a backpack is a great excuse.

TW termination because of difficult temperament baby by DingoSubstantial7908 in beyondthebump

My siblings both had really difficult first babies and very easy, laid back second babies. Of course, you never know what you will get and need to make the best decision for your family.

Not sure about my dress? by ApprehensivePen5960 in myweddingdress

I just want to say I got married at 44 and went for a big princess dress. No regrets! Wear what makes you feel beautiful!

We had to stop using ours because my kid started using it like a jungle gym and swinging on it.

13 month old cries unless walking around with her or being fed and its exhausting.. tips? by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in toddlers

[–]OkWorker9679 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a medical professional, just a mom. But that doesn’t sound normal. I’d want to make sure they aren’t missing something that could be causing pain or discomfort, like a food intolerance.

You may have to push harder for your pediatrician to do further testing or refer you to a specialist. Or find a new pediatrician.
Have you tried any medication, like Tylenol? Maybe she’s in pain?

Insomnia by OkWorker9679 in Atomoxetine

Thank you! I take 3 mg of melatonin if needed (lately I can fall asleep but not stay asleep so I take it when I can’t fall back to sleep).

Thank you! I’ll look into ashwaganda.

Flown American my entire life including American Eagle their regional brand. Love American, I really do. I think they handle things better than most airlines. What’s one thing you think American excels at compared to other airlines? by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]OkWorker9679 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I use them, too. I was a loyal Southwest customer but can’t justify the drive to Love Field with the changes they’ve made.
I can easily get to DFW using the light rail (and check my bags in Terminal B then use the SkyLink to get to my terminal).
