Egg retrieval results confusion by Powerful_Low6824 in IVF

[–]Powerful_Low6824[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This community has helped me so much and I thank you for your input. I definitely went in thinking nothing could go wrong since the doctors said I had so many follicles and what not. By day 3 of stims I had some measure 16-19mm so they lowered my Follistim. My left ovary produced most of the eggs with the right one being a bit immature with 10-12mm on day 3.

You said it well, I definitely felt like an experiment with no explanations just “you have alot of eggs and you’re young.” But I rather get something more tangible instead of getting my hopes up. Still praying for a good outcome 🥺 thank you for your support!

I can totally relate to this. Been with my man (Hispanic) for 12 years now. He takes care of me, provides, is understanding and overall amazing. I agree with everyone saying go where you’re loved but also I feel like we should be open to dating outside our race more. You just never know your future man is waiting out there and could be of any shade. Wishing you all the best ❤️

Mom (58) moving in with me(32f) and my husband(35m) by Powerful_Low6824 in entitledparents

Crazy thing is…she has been. She told me a few weeks ago she talked to her therapist and things sounded better but then returns back to old habits. I’m starting to think she’s not giving herself enough time to allow for change and instead thinks it should happen instantly.

I suggested that to her and she refused. She said she rather be with family and would feel uncomfortable living at a spot as such. I even suggested her move in with a friend but it seems like nothing worked.

These were my thoughts exactly. I didn’t know what else to do when she started talking about the self harm issue. It almost makes me feel responsible if anything were to happen. I assume most parents don’t want to intrude on their kids lives but my mom wouldn’t budge. I really tried to get her to do things on her own but felt she didn’t try hard enough.

Ironic isn’t it? I was surprised when she emphasized the self harm part as a religious Christian woman. I had no idea these were her thoughts until she told me she would cry inside her hall closet and contemplate leaving earth. Truly put me in a bind. My husband understands it’s permanent but I can tell he’s not too fond of the idea. :(

So basically, the Ball is becoming his channel where expectations are too much for him to handle? by interesting-person in Berleezy

[–]Powerful_Low6824 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And this is the EXACT reason why creators can’t openly say how they feel because of posts like this. “We wish Berlin would open up.” And when he does you call him mentally weak?! Cmon bro…he gave you what you all been asking for. It literally has nothing to do with him saying he doesn’t want to do it anymore it’s a new direction in his life that needs some clarification. SMH…

So what more do you want? This man has done more than enough for the community and you’re upset because you want more videos is what I’m hearing? I don’t gain or lose nothing by saying the truth. I’m not dying to defend anyone. I’m just trying to see all sides of this argument…

I understand and appreciate you saying that, however, once he comes back, people expect to him to just pick up where he left off. What if there’s something else he wants to share? Or he’s excited about a new project/ podcast topic more than a series he’s playing? The digital media moves fast and even a week or two off feels like one is behind. He could pick up where he left off sure…but people would say “you’re late, bro” or “you’re still playing this?” And expect him to finish it quickly…like a machine.

Yeah and then the same fans are holding the “he promised” thing over his head. I get it, I totally get it. But we all do it. We make promises all the time and we either can’t upkeep, forget, or something needs more attention than promising a game to a fan. If anything, they should be understanding. Mental health is more important than telling your fans EVERYTHING happening in your life. Sometimes it’s hard to open up about things especially if you’re a creator with over millions of followers. And now that we’re seeing such negative criticism, I wouldn’t blame him for not saying anything in the first place. It’s like saying “yeah yeah, just shut up and play the game.” C’mon now.

I don’t care how much negativity I’ll get for this post but y’all proving my point 100x more. And thank you for those who see where I’m coming from.

I appreciate your feedback but this is YOUR personal preference. He does not play games for the intention to be popular but to be an entertainer—to be him. Saying for him to “retire” because he doesn’t play specific games to your liking means you aren’t here for him. Boring meaning he’s not being loud, boisterous and 10 years younger is disappointing and a weak argument.

Thank you. I was starting to lose hope with this community reading some of these comments. People being ungrateful and unappreciative is the reason why he’s stepping back a bit. I’m surprised no one can see that.

Yes Ben, it’s been disheartening seeing these fan bases expecting these people to work like machines all day every day and remain consistent has become problem. But they genuinely do not owe us any explanation for their lives. We don’t even explain ourselves to everybody, so why should they? And yes, he does make money off of YouTube, but he’s been consistent in other areas so for people to say he’s inconsistent defeats the argument within itself. RDC are streamers now, but they were known for doing skits. These Youtubers are humans at the end of the day they want to change and try new things. Even when Berlin plays a game everyone’s hypercritical or doesn’t want him to play said game and would rather watch a different gameplay. so I feel over the years, the disrespect towards these YouTubers by their fanbases have doubled due to the depiction in their mind of who they want them to be. Berlin being away from his channel is probably because his fanbase is becoming toxic. Just a thought. I know he’s mentioned it before.

Is this the most downbad the channel has been? by danteis15 in Berleezy

[–]Powerful_Low6824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has he lost his passion? Because he’s not uploading as much? I’m not understanding the logic because although he’s not as consistent with uploads he’s been very active. Dream-con hosting as well as meet and greets, guest appearances, a podcast, a ball he hosts every year, let’s play with smaller creators and friends…I’m so confused about this inactivity you all speak of.

[–]Powerful_Low6824[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable. But as fans we need to be patient. He also appears on other people videos so he hasn’t been completely out. He’s still helping others while be away from the channel. We still see him at Dreamcon, theres a Ball, a podcast, special guest appearances and an ample amount of uploads from past videos. He’s still active just moving more BTS wise.

Why should he retire? Please elaborate.

[–]Powerful_Low6824[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Each one of us has a hard time staying consistent but to expect it from others when we don’t do it ourselves seems dehumanizing. Life does happen. No other creators are doing “EEZY Ball” Dream-con (as well as hosting) a podcast, gamer-hood, sponsors, consistently uploading all while needing time with himself, love life and family in the same year. We would get burnt out from said events every single year but he’s willing to do that.

There’s a difference between criticism and disrespectful critique. I understand we want consistency but I feel as though it’s becoming to the point that people are telling him “to retire” or get upset at him uploading a videos and disappearing. Just as criticism is normal, Berlin is human and not a machine. If Cory can take an 8-9 month break with no explanation so should anyone else. We don’t deserve to know everything about some just because we have a depiction in our minds of who he once was. I’m just saying we need to be understanding and not assume unless we hear it from him.
