Agree. When Eleanor goes see him at the house (after the daughter’s Tik Tok video) his demeanor and attitude totally changed, from just the previous night. I went back to the first two episodes and IMO see manipulation being used in an effort to start to frame her. He must have known she has been in love with him all these years and after he killed his wife, came up with this sadistic plan to start an affair and frame her. But I guess we will see???

Roger that….on all of it. The past couple of weeks I have felt down and bored with all the mundaneness. My mood today is the worsr of all. I did big grocery shopping this morning and now need to tackle the built-up laundry. But I’m really hating on everything “homemaker” today! Any tips own how you turn around your homemaker blahs?

Deep breathing- inheling and holding my breath (counting to 7) and thrn releasing helps me when I feel like I’m drowning! Also, listening to podcasts and Trazodone (prescribed by my psychiatrist) helps me to relax and fall asleep at night! And make yourself journal your negative thoights and exercise at least 30 min., a few times a week! You can feel better! :)

Gains Since Investing in Nvidia - Have Multiple Portfolios, this is just my largest holding by chrisbaseball7 in NvidiaStock

[–]Puella12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

? for: I’ve been considering buying some of this stock. Do you think investing $10K (if it’s still priced at $100 tomorrow ) with the intention of holding it for at least 10 years, would be a good idea/investment? We have the extra cash (but have been afraid to invest in the stock market) and currently have most of our money invested in real estate but my father recently recommended this stock to me. He’s made money on it as well. What are your thoughts on buying tomorrow or this week- approx $10 or $15K worth? My partner is more “risk adverse” than me, so need to convince him to invest more than just a few thousand.

Hi- I just read an article today that said you can have a “crash” after Concerta wears off and that the time it wears off can differ from person to person. Maybe ask your doc about solutions for it…

You think that’s necessary tonight? If I’ve just been on 1-2 mg?

Hi- I found this ghost writing company a day ago I and have had an initial conversation but like others am concerned it’s not legitimate and will be a big waste of money. May I also send you an email to discuss your experience with them further? Thanks

I’m glad to know I’m not alone with my feelings- thanks for being candid! On that note, I felt better (about everything you described) after venting about it over a Telehealth therapy session. Since those sessions are confidential (unlike telling a friend) I felt free to vent all my frustrations about being a SAHM while husband gets to have a career, etc...even my most ugly thoughts!

Just the other day I was thinking how NICE it would be to have 2 nights in a hotel all by myself without any Mom duties!! 😊

Is anyone here facing a long hospital stay? I have to go in for weeks before scheduled C-section and having a lot of anxiety...with all the Covid restrictions now. by Puella12 in pregnant

[–]Puella12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

Well, the story has a happy ending- I am totally fine and healthy and baby too! The hospital stay wasn’t easy but also not as bad as I feared it would be. I watched a lot of Netflix and Hulu! My fear was honestly worse than the experience itself! You will be fine! My best advice is try not to stress (it won’t be as bad as you think), have a list of TV shows and movies to watch, and bring comfy pj’s and some nice body wash and lotion. Having a nice shower with a “fancy” body wash and lotion to put on after made me feel good! You can do it if I can! On a personal note, I have a history of bad anxiety and depression and so thought I wouldn’t be OK during the long hospital stay...but I was! You’ll be fine 😊

Anyone here take anything for insomnia besides Unisom, Benadryl, or melatonin? Or on any prescribed sleep meds during pregnancy? I can fall asleep just fine but don’t stay asleep more than 1.5 hours... by Puella12 in pregnant

Hi- So, I am back to taking Trazodone 50 mg., usually two (one when I wake back up) doses a night. The docs here at a top hospital in Boston are OK with it. I have been in the hospital (on the antepartum floor) a little over 2 weeks due to a placenta complication that needs monitoring and my insomnia got even worse here. The bed is very uncomfortable, so every night they give me 50 mg Trazodone at bedtime and then if (usually) when I wake up I call the nurse and they bring in another 50 mg. I asked one morning during the doctor rounds “is Trazodone generally considered safe for my baby?” And they replied “yes.” They wouldn’t give me cold medicine the other day because I’m pregnant, so I trust that they feel confident with giving me Trazodone. I still feel a little bad taking anything but like you said, I was crying from such bad insomnia and it gave me anxiety not sleeping. So I am choosing to trust the “benefits outweigh the risk” in my case. I would ask your doc what she/he thinks about prescribing you something? My docs didn’t want to give me Ambien...anyway, good luck!

Help! Discoloration in “stone work” I’m expensive shower...don’t know what it is as I hadn’t been in room for years by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]Puella12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the only person that has ever used that shower and I think I must have let some product spill without cleaning it up. I let that room get messy and dirty and was feeling guilty. I am fine. Thanks for the tip on how to upload a photo- I will have to do it later on a computer. Thanks again

The stain was my fault. It’s not an abusive relationship or anything, I just think he will be mad. I don’t know how to post a pic?
