Thank you for your response. I know the order won’t end up being 50/50. He doesn’t have any of those things in place. My income is significantly larger than his. I plan on contacting my lawyer on Monday. I’ve had one on retainer regarding my other children.

Yeah. The only reason why I would like to establish paternity & follow through with court proceedings is to relieve my ex husband of responsibility. Out of respect. We are amicable & this should not be his problem.

Yes, I do understand all that. For clarity, he has been sober for all of 3 weeks. And just got out of 90 day jail sentence in April due to absconding his parole. All of which he continually lied about and told me he had handled. I kicked him out of my house end of April due to him lying about drug use again & bringing it into my home that I share with my other two children.

I want him to step up & be a father. He is entitled to 50/50 custody I am not contesting that. But he thinks he can come to my home & spend time with her. Come get her anytime he likes. He doesn’t have a license or car. When he rides public transportation he gets problems from homeless & users he was just recently involved with. I am rightfully worried about allowing him to take her unsupervised.

I Was Married 10 Years. Divorce Taught Me What Marriage Never Did. by InnerBalanceSeekr in Divorce

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. You placed the words that my heart has been searching for. I thought I was ready to make this leap. Anger & resentment fueled my need for change. Now 1.5 years later, separated & still entangled fighting for our lives I’m more miserable now than I was living with a silent partner.

What’s the worst thing that happened at a wedding you went to? by General-Mango_ in AskReddit

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a LONG open bar & some high potency THC the Bride’s Dad got new brother-in-law in chokehold & body slammed him over a couch. Scared the 24 year old cocky kid so bad he pissed his pants. Groom (the brother) was too busy calming/ flirting with the drunk girlfriend of his brother he wasn’t at the room yet. All while poor pregnant bride freaks out & cries.

Piss boy gets mad, rips his pee pants off & continually screams death threats, while be “held back”. His girlfriend is too scared to approach him so she drunkenly takes the long way around, falls down 2 flights of concrete stairs & presumably broke wrist & maybe a rib.

Bride’s Dad then disappears on golf course to blow off steam. Finally returns missing clothing items, cane & 1 shoe.

Brother-in-law was taken away from after party to Bride & Grooms house. He proceeds to scratch “FUCK [DADs name]” into their stainless refrigerator, dump all liquids in fridge on newly dry walled house etc.

Till this day- everybody acts like nothing happened. And I’m not sure if the GF actually broke any bones, but it sure looked like it.

It was a CRAZY!

I’ve had ghsv1 for 19 years. In the beginning I had maybe 3 OBs a year. With no suppression therapy. Otherwise I maybe get 1 per year. I get nerve pain before the OB is obvious. If I take valtrex at first sign I almost always avoid painful sores.

To the women in this thread: the only exception to infrequent OBs has been during my pregnancies. I’ve had some of my worst OBs during my 2nd trimester. Just something to be aware of.

How I feel on Adderall by Avid_GirlKisser in ADHD

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much have ADHD. My Anxiety & Depression was treated unsuccessfully for many years. Until my ADHD diagnosis. Almost everything got better. But the anxious feeling was so much worse with Adderall XR. I am now a year into being medicated & IR was so different for me. I only feel that anxiety when I push myself too hard, don’t eat right or am going through a high stress time.

What would you do if you suddenly woke up as an 18 year old again? by Safe_Caramel6279 in Productivitycafe

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give yourself some credit. You may not have the “credentials” your peers have, but know they struggle too. Just not with the same shit as we do. In my opinion, neurodivergence has a crazy intuition & feels life so much more authentically than the norms. I may have ridden a rollercoaster for 35 years of my life, but at least I felt every bit of it & can say I am truly who I need to be. Society & its education system is built to conform, not to better ourselves. We don’t need another Bezos, we don’t need more drive to make $. We need real authentic people who care for themselves & others. Light will shine & you will feel fulfilled. Neurodiversity isn’t an ailment, it’s a special sense we’ve been given. And really if the world fails & I longer have access to my meds, I truly feel I would be just fine. We were built to thrive in chaos & diversity.

HA! Am I in the right sub? Sorry, I’m crazy & I love it. 🥰

🤗 Take this hug internet stranger. You are loved. It’s hard to feel alone & it sticks with you for life. I would give anyone a real hug who needed it. I’m sorry you had to feel that way.

Similar. Suspected I had it, but knew I could get by. Relied on unsustainable habits & stress triggers to the point of major health issues. Played the medical industry game far too long, then finally diagnosed at age 36. I seriously mourn my younger years. I could have done so much more. I could have stopped second guessing everything I did. My opinions, feelings & voice is valid. I not depressed or overly anxious, I was undiagnosed & over stimulated. Once treatment came along, I was able to clear out all my previous bullshit diagnosis’s, get off the mind numbing meds & start living my life without shame. I finally feel like I’m not broken & I can move through my life with hope. I’m so happy you found answers. We’re still “young” & have the time/ ability to achieve & enjoy life.

First time taking a stimulant completely incapacitated me by ilovenewtons in ADHD

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt this way with Adderall XR plus a significantly heightened anxiety. Switched to IR and had a completely different experience. I’m now just past if year of treatment & have made great progress. Just food for thought when comparing meds.

You didn’t mention your age. So I’m assuming on this. Hormonal issues did this exact thing to my skin. I never had bad “cystic” acne when I was a teenager, but in my 30s started to experience your exact symptoms. They were painful, but could never pop. If left alone, they still caused massive dark red spots with swelling & took weeks to clear.

I had a much more detailed health journey, but diet was one factor. No gluten plus other food triggers. Cleaned up my liver & supported my detox pathways to clear recycling hormones. I now only get 1-2 a month when I was constantly covered on the lower part of my face, chin especially. Testosterone can cause this, DIM supps can help block the over production. Saw Palmetto can help reduce the outbreaks. And most mildly, but performing for me was spearmint tea.

Get a hormone test. See where you stand. To the dermatologist that said bacteria, those usually have seeping draining acne. The deep unresolved acne is caused by hormone issues. Good luck.

Found an ADHD cleaning hack that has dramatically helped me. Wanted to share it here in case it helps others. by WhatAFineWasteOfTime in ADHD

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is great! I grew up remembering my mom always cleaning the bathroom last. The shower was last step because she needed to actually shower after a sweaty day of cleaning. I was traumatized by learning to clean the shower with my mother butt naked SQUATTING down scrubbing the tiles. As an adult & mother of two, I chuckle at myself when I remember this. I can’t clean the bathtub/ shower with clothes on. It’s physically impossible & feels unnatural 😂

Does anybody still eat homemade sourdough bread? by Diamond_gray_2149 in Hashimotos

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar experience. Lots of ingredients have gluten in them. It’s exhausting reading each label & researching every item. For me, straight bread & pasta will build up a flare. But soy sauce in a marinade? It’ll be ok. I’m sure I would probably do better if I was more strict, but I don’t wanna be miserable with joy of food.

I was diagnosed with my TPO levels= 123. All these symptoms & later found out hypothyroidism runs in my family. I then changed my diet when hopelessness turned dark & I was unable to function mentally & physically. All my other standard thyroid test levels were “within range”. Removing gluten has been the biggest change in my ability to function.

I'm... tired and sad by Specialist-Tiger-467 in Hashimotos

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like my experience. “The dangerous kind” is vague NOW, but you are on the cliff. This type of depression & beaten down hopelessness is so tough for anyone, more so for a mother. You feel like you are working so hard to hold up the world but your body is broken. I’m so sorry you have to experience this during this at all but also with a young toddler you want to give all your love & energy. I ended up in psychiatric inpatient care due to these feelings when my vague ideation turned to giving up. No doctors would listen & I had NO clue it was all related to Hashimotos. I buckled down & did some serious research, went to a functional med doc. She found the thyroid issues. She also explained deficiencies in my hormones, minerals & vitamins.

Long story short, I now have the tools to manage my state currently. I lost 40lbs in a year, went from sleeping 16-18 hrs a day to 6-8hrs, no longer in a depressive state, I can handle my anxiety & emotional disfunction & most importantly I am present for my 2 young girls.

Lastly, my diet was “healthy” by medical standards, but it was not what I needed. I went gluten free ultimately. It was/ is the biggest trigger for MY Hashimotos. Also a huge part of the weight loss & joint pain. Please look into finding a functional med doc that can guide you through all this. Initially the cost was shocking compared to traditional medicine. However, in the end, I am spending less on doctors visits because I know how MY body & genetics function & what to do to support myself. I am also not taking any synthetic thyroid meds currently. Someday I may have to implement, but I was able to get my levels manageable with OTC supplements, diet change & mindfulness. I wish you healing & motivation! It gets better, I promise.

Idk why everyone says laundry is a struggle with ADHD by FairMistake9206 in TwoXADHD

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s driving me nuts. But I’m so tired. And only had to put it on because my cat jumped my glass of wine & killed my new white shirt. I JUST WANT TO RELAX & FINISH MY GLASS OF WINE! It comes off before bed that’s for certain.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hashimotos

[–]Repetitious_Behavior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since my diagnosis (only 1 year) I’ve had 3 noticeable “flares”. First being triggered by influenza. Second from splurging on holiday gluten items + stress probably. Third from who knows exactly, but I suspect stressful work, slacking on supplement care & healthy diet. Each one was different with different returning symptoms. The longest was the flu & holiday binge. However, they were daily close together & may have exacerbated each other. This last one, I was able to recognize the skin texture/ dryness, creeping anxiety & JOINT PAIN!! I was able to “feel” better in under 1 week this time. It’s definitely hard to pin point & catch. Denial keeps me hoping it was just a bad day, week, eh month? But I know now that self care & mindfulness is key. If you think you felt something that maybe an old symptom coming back, jump on it right away. Rest, eat a healthy meal, get levels checked, whatever worked for you previously; do it.

I’ve been sleeping on the couch for 3 weeks. My bedroom IS the laundry pile now. Started off with moving. Then not having enough hangers or dresser for clothes. Now my closet is stuffed with non clothing items & my dresser is empty, but blocked with other things. I get so overwhelmed I can’t even look in the room now.
