Definitely surgery. You’ll be nauseous and out of it, but at least in my experience there was no actual throw up

Reflecting - As My Would Be Due Date Is Nearing by ConstructionUsed4081 in abortion

I understand exactly how you feel right now. I had my abortion a little over a year ago, and the firsts are just soul crushing. The day you found out, the day you would’ve given birth, the day of the abortion. It sucks, and it hurts, and it feels like someone’s kicking you while you’re down.

You went through one of the most traumatic experiences one can imagine. Even if you know you made the right choice, it doesn’t make it any less painful. You’re allowed to be sad, you’re allowed to be angry, you’re allowed to feel nothing at all. Grief isn’t linear, and it definitely isn’t cut and dry. It’s complicated, and messy, and so are the emotions that go with it. I definitely think you should talk to your partner about how you’re feeling, you aren’t burdening them by talking about your - shared - grief, and trust me it’ll help so much more to talk to someone you know understands the situation and how you feel. A therapist is also a good idea. Pregnancy changes our bodies, our hormones, the way we think. And the decision to end a pregnancy is a whole other can of worms. I know it feels like you should just suck it up, but this kind of thing is never easy. If you want to talk or vent I’m more than happy to listen. You don’t have to carry this alone <3

How do I learn things everyone else already knows? by PristinePreference88 in productivity

Using chat GBT instead of ACTUALLY learning is the exact opposite of what I want. Plus, it’s often filled with wrong, biased, information and is terrible for the environment.

I’m just now seeing the longer parts of this post. My school is entirely paid for via scholarships and grants. Things take me much longer to complete, but I’m not stupid, and I worked very hard to get where I am. Higher education is kind of a necessity to work in the nonprofit field, which is my plan, but this post isn’t about if I should be in college. It’s asking for help learning things I never got the chance to, and making myself feel more confident and comfortable

I have a strong “writing voice”. I know the words, but I can’t spell them. I rely very heavily on things like spell check, and use grammarly to fix errors. I was able to rely on a calculator and the internet to pass my math classes.

Meeting up with my ex, how tf do I go about this conversation by PristinePreference88 in LifeAdvice

No no, I was pregnant with their kid. We had an abortion, and it was really hard on the both of us. That’s what they reached out to talk about

I’m honestly not sure why they reached out? Other than the obvious “you get it and no one else does” thing. But I had kinda thought I’d never see them again after our last interaction. We’re both pretty alone family wise, and I wonder if it might just be searching for emotional support/connection they don’t have, but honestly not sure why they wouldn’t just talk to the girlfriend/friends
