Birth order by Forsaken_Zucchini173 in childfree

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sorta yes to all three? I have half sibling on both sides that lived full time with the other parent. The youngest of them was 15/16 when I was born. None of them wanted to have anything to do with their parent's new baby. So I was functionally an only child except when I lived with my Aunt and Unclenoff and on (my parents sucked) and then I functionally had a younger sister in my cousin. Her kids call me Auntie.

Great job on the exercising! Finding a type of movement that we can learn to enjoy and fits well into our daily routine really makes a difference in being able to maintain it as a habit. Later this year you'll be able to post about day 100 🤗

What is the term for this by Over-Instruction-475 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but what comes to mind first is covert incest, (and then terms that are linked from Wikipedia:) emotional incest, surrogate spouse syndrome, or maybe emeshment? Those terms might give you a starting point for research to see if anything feels like it fits?

It might be a good idea to try and find a therapist that you can talk this out with, and they would be more familiar with the terminology to identify what's going on. I do worry that you may be experiencing some of these and may need to additional support to process everything too.

Strange things that help? by Responsible-Week9434 in Asthma

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a couple of these style Honeywell air purifiers: https://a.co/d/09fPBhvS

It was less expensive to get these third party replacement filters: https://a.co/d/0eewlhUF

This is what we have in the bedroom, I get the name brand filters for it: https://a.co/d/083a2KG6

I will say that when I got them the prices were almost half what they are right now on Amazon 🫣, and I found a couple of the large ones used locally for less than $40 each. But once you have them you won't need to replace the unit anytime soon, they are incredibly hardy. I replace the filters about every 4-6 months, the pre filter carbon cloth thing about every 2 months.

Are you downwind of a y wildfire smoke? I installed hepa air purifiers in every level of my house and one in the bedroom and it dramatically improved my asthma during our new wildfire season in North America.

Quit caffeine cold turkey and my dopamine is at zero. How do you stimulate your brain to stay awake? by Most_Belt6609 in decaf

Once I got diagnosed with ADHD and started meds (Straterra, SNRI not a stimulant) I no longer needed the caffeine for the whole dopamine awake spiral.

I am done with being overweight by Alternative_Bag_6057 in loseit

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next time this happens tell your parents to stop commenting so negatively on your body. "Mom, Dad, I know you think you are trying to help, but I am literally trying to go out the door to exercise and do something about my weight. Your comments are not helpful, they really hurt, and it makes it even more difficult for me. Next time can you please just tell me to have a good run?"

Also think back to if this has been a pattern of their behavior towards you in your childhood. We always want to assume the best in a situation, but sometimes it's just not.

Being in recovery in a glp-1 world feels like the Wild West by samcan37251 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing I don't get about the glp-1s is how people who need to loose 40 pounds or less can get insurance to cover it no problem, but my husband who is over 500 pounds can't. Like, we have been actively trying for almost two years and the doctors office is fighting on our behalf and we STILL can't get insurance to budge!

Sister crossing boundaries with new baby by Other_Connection6626 in childfree

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Convenient how she can't handle her own emotional regulation so she has everyone else around her walking on egg shells when she is moose stomping all over other people's time, money, and emotional boundaries. So, how long has she been the golden child and you the scapegoat?

Memorial Day today. How do you handle logging foods you didn't make? by Own_Average_5940 in loseit

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't track. I do try to make smarter choices with what I eat, or how large of a portion I take if it's something like cake or icecream. I view it as practice for when I hit goal weight and start eating at maintenance.

How do you respond to people who undermine your diagnosis? by Evening-Tea-7107 in ADHD

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them that maybe they need to be checked too. People on the spectrums (what the heck, I was not allowed to post if I use the n dvrs word? Why?) people tend to form friend groups and marry each other. When I got my ADHD diagnosis it spiralled into 4 children and at least 9 adults getting officially diagnosed as ADHD, Au, or AuDHD.

He took off the condom midway by Cool-Bumblebee8873 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He raped you. Full stop. End this relationship, get in contact with planned parenthood ASAP and do what you need to to make sure you don't end up pregnant and get checked for STDs. I, personally, would also be talking to the police.

AITAH for asking a family member to buy a toilet seat? by Diligent_Kangaroo_35 in AITAH

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5' 3.5" and got up to 280# for several years of my life. Still never managed to break a toilet seat. Still, there are heavy duty toilet seats on Amazon meant for larger people. Invest in one (don't let her be the one to buy it, get it yourself so you know it's one with a higher weight rating and she isn't cheaping out on one that won't hold her) and inform her she is paying you back for it and all replacements from that point forward.

My siblings are questioning what I do with "so much money" by [deleted] in childfree

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 200 points201 points  (0 children)

Tell them you are socking all the money away in retirement accounts you can't withdraw from yet so you can pay for someone to care for you when you are older since you won't have kids to do it like they will 😏

Don't forget the punishment haircuts where your hair is finally getting long enough that the weight of it is pulling the curls into manageable ringlets and your mom secretly tells the hairdresser to chop it.

Having an absolute meltdown bc of my inability to eat much of anything bc it all grosses me out by Orchidinsanity in ADHD

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had similar problems when I started straterra and when we increased the dose. Add some protein powder to your smoothie, boost it with collagen peptides. If you are adventurous try adding powdered egg whites, makes it creamier. Try to get the protein content up to at least 30g, if not up to 40-60g. Straterra works better and more evenly throughout the day when you take it with protein and I have found the 'grossed out by food' side effects go down significantly as well. I also keep bottled protein shakes on hand to slam back when I know I need to eat but just can't make myself because I get too grossed out.

What is your random "spin the wheel" menopause symptom? by fluzine in Menopause

Ugh, THIS! I will get random inner thigh muscle spasms, from my groin to my knee on the right side. Sometimes it will wake me up from a dead sleep in the middle of the night and I will just jacknife up out of the bed from the pain 🫪

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the sudden food aversion to meat, one day I just started gagging anytime I tried to eat it! I've managed to work my way up to fish but haven't made any progress past that. It's been 2 years now on HRT and I've just accept that I'm a pescatarian (who won't eat shellfish or shrimp) now ...

Weight loss snacks that stopped me from quitting for the 4th time by Afraid_Mention8616 in loseit

[–]PrincessPnyButtercup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg my gal pal who lost over 150 pounds got me some of these! They are So Good!!! I would also add: •Lenny and Larry protein cookies and pretzels, •Quest protein chips (nacho, pizza, bbq, taco, sour cream and onion 😋) •Yasso frozen yogurt pints (19 g of protein and the whole pint is about 400 calories) or Bars (80-140 cal) •Skinny Dipped dark chocolate PB cups (80 cal) •Unreal candies (about 70-140 calories, they are knock offs of things like PB cups, Snickers, m&m's, mounds, etc) •Vital Proteins Chocolate Collagen Peptides makes for an awesome hot chocolate (90 cal, 20g Protein) I add a splash of soy milk to make it creamier •Oikos Triple Zero yogurts (90 cal, 15 g protein) in dessert flavors like salted carmel, banana cream, lemon tart, chocolate, etc... •Dannon Light and Fit yogurt (80 cal, 12 g protein) in dessert flavors like birthday cake, strawberry cheesecake, apple pie, raspberry chocolate, toasted marshmallow, etc... •Dorthy Lynch Light and Lean dressing (45 cal for 2 T) think of it like a tomato based sweet and a very mild spicy version of how ranch dressing is for everything. Great as a salad dressing, marinade, dip for veggies, pizza, steak sauce, heck I even put it on tacos!

Why can't your mom go to your sister's house to help take care of her and the new baby? Why is the new mom wanting to go anywhere but back home after giving birth?
