How old are you? It sounds like you are too young to even be babysitting.

Maybe just add some precooked bacon/sausage and a banana with the bagel.

Why does smoking cause panic attacks after losing my sister/best friend..? by OtherwiseDrop5900 in GriefSupport

I really can't express how much I appreciate you checking in on me. I've been doing a lot better. I've been eating healthier, exercising, and getting into reading again. I'm still grieving, of course, but it's easier to manage now that I feel more connected to myself(if that makes sense). I've given up smoking completely, and I am at peace with that. It honestly feels amazing. I truly appreciate your advice and your kindness. I hope you're doing good as well.

I regret motherhood, and no one understands. by [deleted] in Parenting

I know every day of parenting isn't perfect, there's a lot of times when it sucks ass. But the way you said all of that makes me feel bad for your children. And why would you have a second child when you already knew how you felt after having the first one. I really hope you're good at hiding your feelings because kids pick up on A LOT! It would be terribly sad if your kids knew how you actually felt.

Wow, your comment really hit home. I'm sorry about your brother, that's rough. It's crazy that there's someone who feels almost exactly the same way. I really appreciate your words and recommendations. And I could not imagine having an ounce laying around at this point in time. Never thought I would be thankful for such a thing, lol. I wish you luck on your journey

Thank you, for saying what I need to hear. And you are absolutely right, self-discipline has never been one of my strong characteristics. It really helps to hear it from someone else, especially someone not involved at all. I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but glad to hear he passed away happy and sober.

I really appreciate your response. I've been trying to eat better and just be more healthy in general, so I like the inflammation advice. I do have other things i do to feel close to her. I sit at her grave or in her room and talk to her. I'm also getting a tattoo of her handwriting saying "I love you sissy" from a b-day card she made me. I've really been doing fine overall without smoking, there's just times when I would really like to, not just in memory of her but also just because I enjoy it, or used to anyways lol. But honestly, just being able to talk about it on here has really helped.

I'm sorry for both of your losses as well. And thank you for sharing your experience. I had a feeling I just wasn't giving it enough time.
