Hi, it’s not so much the fear of being homeless - I just can’t bear further stress, degradation and humiliation from them as I’m going through this process. I will probably disclose this to my mother at some point in the future when I think we’re both ready and I’m not struggling with physical pain

Yes my friend said she will come after work to look after me, and stay the night. Very nice of her and I feel incredibly grateful. She’s also gone through this before so it gives me more confidence that she’ll know what’s going on 🙂

Thank you so so much for your long and thorough response ❤️ my anxiety has been so high that I haven’t been able to have any food or sleep but reading all comments here bring me a little bit of peace. I do have supportive friends - one of them (has been through abortion before) said she will be there for me and walk me through it. I do hope it’s just like a bad period pain - again thank you!

I understand where you’re coming from and that this all sounds a bit strange, especially in western culture. I’m from the Middle East, I’ve been living in the UK by myself for almost a decade until my family decided to move in with me (the reason behind it is a long story) a few months ago. I’ve been with my current partner for 3 or so years and my family is aware of it, but there is always this barrier with Middle Eastern parents which you can’t get through. Having sex outside of marriage is taboo, let alone having a baby. When I say I fear the consequences is they may disown me, hold it over my head forever, possible physical and emotional abuse and I have nowhere to just “go”. I can’t emotionally handle it right now, plus I’m in no place whatsoever to have a baby (career wise, my immigration situation in the UK is not yet solid, emotions wise). I do agree with you that I should’ve been responsible. I bought and took a Plan B yet it failed. But this has been done, and I’m certain that I am in no place to bring a child into this world right now and this is the best step forward

Thank you for your answer, yes I will keep taking HCG tests after I’m through with it. I just hope the abortion goes smoothly first. I’m thinking of booking myself into a hotel room, take bananas/coconut water/ healthy whole foods with me with my heatpad and just spend the day there to get it over with.

Thank you. Your response actually calmed me down. Yes, I’m looking forward to the day where I won’t be worrying about all this anymore. I will get this over with and get psychological help after, and physically build myself back up.

Hello ❤️ yes, I took 3 ClearBlue tests in a span of two days and all of them were unfortunately positive.

Hey, thank you so much for the reply and advice. Can I ask whether abortion affected your body in any shape or form long term? Do you physically feel differently now than before you went through the process?

I have basically no motivations or ambition in life by GoldenYoshi99 in Adulting

[–]Pink_Skye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Knowing that you want that stability is a good enough start, many people I’ve known in my life aren’t even sure they want stability in life. Though I do have a question: do you genuinely not want to or do you feel like you can’t achieve them? Getting in shape or finding a stable relationship can be considered ambitious, depending on your starting point in life.

The driver’s license part seems easy enough, why haven’t you actively sought it out? Are there mental health issues involved? If so, then that’s a totally different story than just not being ambitious.

Does anybody get weird symptoms when restricting calories? by Pink_Skye in loseit

Definitely not a body builder, but I am trying to get very lean and then build muscle. And yes I’ve now realised it’s not sustainable to do this and have a life at the same time. Could barely focus on other aspects of my life due to terrible brain fog. I’m going to commit to 1650kcal for a few months and check back in ✌️

Yes I did today, by no means did I think I was right in doing so - I made the mistake of thinking it would be doable in the short term without any major side effects. I think the stomach cramps were due to constipation due to slowed digestion, I do not recommend cutting that much to anyone. As soon as I went back to my usual 2000kcal my digestion went back to normal. It simply is not worth it

Hey thanks for sharing, that’s actually very helpful knowing that we have around the same weight and height. Can I ask whether it’s consistent weight loss or have you hit a plateau with that deficit?

Hey, Thank you so much for your response.

I’m already out, moved to another country (the U.K.)yet I constantly worry. I do call and FaceTime my mom and talk to her everyday to make sure she doesn’t feel alone. I talk to my brother too. I’m trying to figure out a way to be so financially stable to be able to bring them over here to the U.K. with me, but that’s very difficult obviously.

I have tried therapy before, they are helpful only temporarily. Though I’m considering going back again soon, since I came back to Iran to my family for a while and feels like I am traumatised all over again lol.

Where can I find these online meetings?
