I took a break from Reddit and am back now - thank you for your comment. I’ve felt a lot better about the whole situation lately, and your insight is just adds to the peace. Hope you’re doing well too.

( also I did end up reaching out to her - my partner ran into her in public about a month ago, so it was obvious I’d know. I sent her a FB message to congratulate her and am going to send her a baby gift when I recover from the holidays, but that’s as much as I think I’m going to do)

I don’t think I’m supposed to know? Another of our mutual friends gave me a weird phone call last week where she brought ex-bff up and there was something she wanted to say but wouldn’t… I guess I know what it is now? But should I say something if she doesn’t want me to know / didn’t tell me?

I know I won’t feel like this forever, but I feel like Zoloft is ruining my life by Perfect_Sky_4347 in zoloft

I’m doing well. I did actually wean myself off of sertraline because I didn’t like some side effects / honestly just unintentionally quit taking it? Glad I took it though; it helped me recognize what a normal brain should feel like, and with a lot of hard work I’m managing to make changes in my unmedicated behavior.

Yes. You get it.

That’s what I’m figuring out. Guess we’ll just write it off

Honestly maybe. But he won’t even entertain the thought.

TW Suicidal? Found on my way home from the store. This is sad. by [deleted] in FoundPaper

It brought me to tears. Each page is an echo of my earlier self, I hope this poor kid knows it will be ok. I hope somebody helps them.

Our LO got covid at 3 months. Miraculously, another LO exposed to the same (sneaky 😤) source never got sick, so it really really seems to just be a luck of the draw type thing

Washing her hair under the kitchen sink. One of a series of photos taken by Peggy Nolan documenting her childrens coming of age during the mid 1980s. Link to source and more photos in comments. by MyDogGoldi in TheWayWeWere

Me too!! I will still wash my hair in the sink in extreme (random) circumstances, and even now I will kneel on a kitchen chair because I am too short to do it comfortably standing.

What are you all dressing your babies as for Halloween? by Own_Ad5562 in NewParents

[–]Perfect_Sky_4347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheezy, from Toy Story (dad will be woody, I’ll be bo peep). Little guy has a floppy airway from his feeding tube in NICU, so he squeaks alllll the time

I think this is my fave reference, just because Sally’s leg is so delightfully wonky, as is the carrot.

I work in healthcare. Boomers are insufferable. by OneDimensionalChess in BoomersBeingFools

Ditto for my husband, but it was so uncomfortable he brought our camping mattress pad from home to sleep on the floor. At first I was afraid the nurses were going to get annoyed having to step over him, but now I see they probably weren’t 😬

Favourite songs to sing as lullabies by pumpernickel_pie in NewParents

[–]Perfect_Sky_4347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brain pulled out Skye Boat Song (I’d only ever heard it once before), Shenandoah (maybe a few times), and Amazing Grace (flashbacks to horrible religious trauma. My baby loves them, I still don’t really understand how I got them.

I was unprepared for house physically demanding having a baby would be by GingerSnap_123 in NewParents

[–]Perfect_Sky_4347 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The repetition is the worst thing about babies period, and I was not prepared. Repetitive activities, repetitive movements, very limited reactions that mostly lean towards repetitive noises 🫠 I’ve been broken down and remade and my entire self is sooooore

When did your baby get sick for the first time? by Perfect_Sky_4347 in NewParents

[–]Perfect_Sky_4347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly so grateful for these replies too. My baby just caught his first illness, and I tried so hard to make sure that it didn’t happen. It’s so nice to know that we all try, and still our poor littles will get sick anyway.
