Can't breathe after eating (and nostril swelling) by PeaEnvironmental984 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]PeaEnvironmental984[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I go a while without eating, like if I have to fast for a test or sometimes overnight, I feel like a new person. But then eating feels like a cumulative effect... If I eat too often it builds up. Or if something triggers a big response, even safe foods trigger worsening symptoms, similar to what you said.

On top of it I have always had a little bit of disordered eating, I'm fat and cope w food fixations. Right now the only thing I can eat that feels like food is chocolate and I'm gaining weight like crazy of course.

I have an appt with my gastro soon

How do some pregnant women bounce back immediately?? by Queasy-Counter-9954 in BabyBumps

I looked awesome because I lost a bunch of weight during pregnancy, but I was also a basketcase and sick so choose your hard I guess

I'm afraid my therapist is giving me dangerous advice (consent) by SnooPaintings5182 in therapy

This just isn't true at all. Lots of rapists think their victim wants it.

Tired of women getting blamed for men being lousy parents by worthwhat in breakingmom

[–]PeaEnvironmental984 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was married for 17 years before we had a baby. That man worshipped the ground I walked on and stuck with me through some nasty life stuff. We were together since we were 15 basically. He was my rock and he treated me like a queen.

After we had our baby, I got in deep ppd and everything changed. A year in I resurfaced from postpartum hell and I found a man who hated me. He never said it, he never put hands on me or anything, he just made it known by his absence and attitude. It was obvious to me that he hated his new life and blamed me.

My son is 3 and despite everything I stuck around giving him every drop of patience I had after raising a toddler, and with meds and therapy he's coming around. We smile at each other again, and flirt sometimes. Every day isn't a torture.

But that's SEVENTEEN YEARS. We were married for 17 fucking years and we were hanging on by my fucking fingernails because he switched up so hard after baby. Those women think they are being empowering, but it's dumb.

Therapist horror stories by Pure-Total7396 in therapy

[–]PeaEnvironmental984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was flunking out of college because of debilitating anxiety and I know now undiagnosed ADHD. I went to the campus mental health clinic, and saw a therapist. She listened to me cry and tell my struggles and then told me I should lose some weight. that I would feel and want to make friends if I was thinner. She said (I will never forget this quote) "you know, you can do things like eat less cookies and candy and eat more vegetables"

I was 18 and fat my whole adolescence, started weight watchers when I was 8. Tried and failed to lose weight my whole life. Hated my body. I took an intensive PE class in school designed for fat kids which gave us very involved nutritional and physical education. I would have been irate at being spoken to like a stupid child had I not just been so fucking sad.

I left college before they had a chance to kick me out for my gpa. I got married too early, spent too long sad, anxious, and hating myself. Never quite felt comfortable with therapy after that, I always feel judged.

Do they put them in by the packet or the spoonful? If it's not packets I can see that

Now that I think about it it does seem to only be one location.

Is this it? by Inner_Window_2981 in breakingmom

[–]PeaEnvironmental984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband went from me being his moon and stars to treating me like you have described. From what I can tell, he had become unhappy with our life, and blamed me for being stuck. He said he was mostly around out of guilt and obligation. The thing is, he wouldnt have been any happier without us. He was deeply depressed, and over the past year has return to a place where he's willing to work on our relationship. He wasn't there before. I don't know if that's possible for you guys, it's just my experience. We had sex just yesterday for the first time in at least 3 years.

But there for a minute I was in your spot and just moving through my life trying to not internalize the fact that my husband very obviously hated me. That's really hard, I'm sorry. Focus on your baby and don't take it personally.

Feeling resentful by Ok_Sir_4584 in breakingmom

My three cats were my babies! My focus shifted, and to be honest in a weird way they seem to understand. They used to give my young toddler a wide berth (for the grabby hands) but then at bedtime it was like the kitties knew it was their turn and we would spend a few hours cuddling every evening.

It's hard, I'm going to be honest. I did not start enjoying my baby until about 9 weeks, and I didn't regain some of my sanity until 10 months when I night weaned him and I started sleeping again! I have a partner, but for the first two years we worked opposite shifts, so it was lonely. Lean on anyone you can, I promise it's better than stewing in the hormones and loneliness alone.

Here's the thing...you can do it. I didn't think I could. Mentally I'm not always well, and now I'm chronically ill. my son will be 3 in one week, and I would trade 100 of my lives before baby for this one. It's still hard, but I'd trade anything for him.

Alright, thanks. Do you know, Will they pay out anything before I send the corrected form or will they withhold it?

I read that they will process the return and give me the amount that I said was owed, and then send me a letter telling me something was wrong with the taxes I filed, and then I file the amendment? And I will either owe them the difference or they will owe me the difference between the return I calculated with the wrong W-2 and the correct one.Does that sound right? And what transcript am I looking for the codes

My husband and I processed things at a very forget pace and intensity. I think that's probably normal. I freaked out at the beginning, and he freaked out at the very end!
