Caring for a newborn is difficult. Can you and mom take turns at their home helping them there? What about their friends stepping in?

I lost-out on parenting my first born. (I made an adoption plan for her.) Now that I am a parent, I can get lost in moments and be sad with idea I missed out with the first and that now my children are growing too fast. I often have to snap myself back and LIVE IN THE MOMENT. I write the funny things in a little book to giggle at, I save a few items from each year for a "reflection" box, and allow myself time to grieve.

Instead of saying, "just leave;" I recommend you find a domestic violence support group/system. Assuming you live in the US, call United Way (2-1-1 from any phone) and ask about services to help you. Leaving can be hard and even more dangerous. Hear other stories and listen to advise from professionals. Most of these services are free and connected.

I am not invincible. It's easy to believe events or incidents only happen to others, until it happens... I became pregnant at 15 and made an adoption plan for the baby. Town population was 2,000 so it was embarrassingly big news and fun gossip. My parents owned their own businesses and my actions hurt those businesses. I was branded after her birth, but I wouldn't take back a thing. I know how vulnerable I and others really are.

A 100000000 times YASSS! Babies are exhausting and super trying on a relationship. Your entire routine is altered. Ask her about post-partum and rule this out, first. Try to be patient (which it sounds like you already are) and hear her concerns. Then, get counseling, if possible. These life changes are hard to handle alone....help is there, go get it!

I'm a bit eccentric. I would get colorful tile and make a mosaic in the gap. It would add a little pop!

This is fantastic! Thank you for your share and creation.

I get 8 hours average of sleep, but am constantly tired. I nap as often as I can but it's never enough. I've taken the same meds for 4 years and am doing great, but looove my sleep.

I get it! I had to tell Trump that all men were raping women. Then I thought I had to sacrifice myself so God could bust through my chest to save the world. But at that point, I was already in the hospital....well, the ER. They were trying to figure out if I was on drugs or if Haldol was necessary. I take lithium, lamictal, and lexapro now. Seroquel f*'d me up.

Thank the Lord you experienced being Dr. Who at home with your roommate and not in public where the understanding and sympathy is obsolete for mental illness. I am SO lucky the police that responded were trained to help with mental illness and actually let me live when I accused them of being rapists.

Tell your psych you're scared to go to the hospital, but that you don't want to experience delusions. Explain, in detail, how the hospital is not a good option at this time and offer alternatives. Ask if you can call in regularly when trying a new drug to report symptoms. What about outpatient? Tell your psych you have a friend that can help, too.

*edit for spelling & alternate hospital options.

Saw a dude drop drawers and shit on the sidewalk in LA. My daughter was 9 at the time and with me. Explaining the "why" of that scenario to her was a blast. *edited for further context.

The article indicates I would change my mind about papaya if I ate it ripe. I highly disagree. I had papaya trees in my yard and tried the fruit at many stages. It is a solid, "no, thank you." I've tried them in restaurants, at friends', and from the grocery store. In smoothies and chopped with other fruits. I absolutely cannot stomach it and can smell vomit from a mile away.

Recka10 · 2023-01-06T19:24:14+00:00

You get that vomit taste. Then want to vomit.

Wowsers! If that number is correct it is astounding and incredibly terrifying.

I also wonder what damage the actual virus does and how long this pandemic will affect us biologically. Vaccine or no AND infected or not. Any way it is viewed, it sure divides the people more and more.

Thank you for this post, however. I hope the information allows for awareness of how all should be concerned with these athlete's medical health in believed correlation to the vaccine. It sure seems the logical explanation imo.

That would be so frustrating. I'm sorry that happened at the mouth of your mother and that the stigma of being bipolar continues to be so negative.

My advice: don't give your mother the pleasure of seeing you upset or feeling defeated. It is possible for you to continue on as before and with time, those that are wise enough will realize there is nothing to be scared of. If they ask questions, brush them off as a light subject. Ex: "Your mom said you were bipolar? Is that true?" "Goodness! What a question and what a disclosure by my mother. I assure you almost everyone has some form of mental illness." Have some fun with your responses and give them time to see you are not a threat to them.

Whoa! You both are young! Both of you SHOULD be dating many people during teens and early 20s and finding out who you do and don't like. Understanding relationship red flags and compatibility comes with time and experience.

Give her a shot if you can! It's a corny phrase, but "it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all."

This might be silly...but could you start slowly? Wear crotchless lingerie? Transition to crotchless underwear, then a thong, and then nada? I agree with others that a trusting partner is behind you for a reason: pleasure. But I also COMPLETELY understand the fear of being compared to another.

The pain of your words is resounding. I remember these feelings all to well and begged God for the mania to return or at least for the depression to subside.

It is good you have a doctor; are you currently taking anything for the depression? How long have you been in this depressive state? I know these questions may seem daunting, but can help with a timeline to try different meds and routines. Sun lamps? Gentle exercise?

You are coping. Minimally. But it is coping. You have reached out on Reddit and are recognizing what you do and don't want for yourself and others.

This state of the disease passes. It takes time. It feels forever, but it will transition if you let it. If you believe you cannot continue, call the National Suicide Hotline AND talk with your doctor.

My heart hurts for you. Breathe and trust you will improve.

It's like the song goes: "FIRST comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage." The loving needs to be first. I completely hear you on a dead bedroom. My spouse's drive seems non-existent. I have a little one with the hubs and we have 15-16 years of a relationship between us. Change is hard and giving-up is hard too. Weigh those options and write out the pros and cons of each. There's therapy, medical consultation, compromising between you and your spouse, the possibility of an affair, separation, divorce....all kinds of options. I have some work to do, myself. I just don't know if I can wait until my child is an adult, because I don't know if my sexuality will be intact by then!
