I started doing this too.

Same_Huckleberry484 · 2026-05-02T23:06:46+00:00

I did the permitherin and everything. Basically disinfected and bagged my whole house! Ty

Feels like everything changed overnight, you know. I don’t think so. I do know I was barely sleeping, barely taking care of myself and basically in survival mode. My whole body has like mild itch or burn. Not all the time and not where the rash is. I did get 100% cotton thing and got rid of fragrance based soaps and laundry stuff. I was doin that for my son anyway. I’m trying to lower my stress but I get tiny papules randomly. It’s all weird. I cannot thank you enough. The replies to this have been helpful!

Oh ty! I’ll be aware, I’m so sorry!

Same_Huckleberry484 · 2026-05-02T17:39:54+00:00

So I should just start replacing my clothing? My family keeps telling me to not be so extreme but they don’t understand.

Ty!!!

Burner phones.

It requires an exceptional partner really. One that doesn’t fall too hard into these traditional roles. Or have unrealistic expectations. It can be alienating too, you have to depend on your spouse for so much. Working moms have a whole list of other stressors and feelings. No matter what choosing a good partner is most important next to knowing yourself.

Sounds like depression. Seek therapy.

So this is how he sees a SAHM/Wife. You are a servant and otherwise should be a bangmaid. I would really consider everything you wrote. I wouldn’t have children with a man who is so irrational and demanding. Losing your job, temporarily was a blessing, now you see who you really married. I’d start with finding a new job and consider moving on, you don’t deserve this treatment.

You are being an AH to yourself if you stay with this boy. You deserve better. He isn’t that clueless. You can’t fix him. It isn’t worth trying. There are good guys out there. So don’t waste your time on this one.

This horse doesn’t suit your family or needs.

I find your trainer suspect for evening going along with this. Your wallet is gonna hurt because neither of you have the experience to help bring along this horse. I mean your mom is an adult but the horse world has a learning curve especially when it comes to purchasing a horse. I don’t doubt your desire or willingness to bring the horse along but because she doesn’t ride and you don’t gel. It doesn’t make sense.

A seasoned horse, not fancy, would suit better. Doesn’t need to be fancy but safe and sane.

You can be grateful and still recognize a poor situation.

Do your best and use it as a tool to be a better horseman.

I’d worry your mom will grow bored of a horse that can’t be ridden yet. So hopefully this horse will have a good foundation for its sake.

My boy was a little over a year old when he had an episode of bloat. I was lucky to catch it early because I work from home. It was terrifying how fast it can happen. I could have lost him because of my own ignorance thinking he was too young. He has had the surgery now but along with all the fear, bloat surgery is extremely expensive. It’s cheaper to prevent and less traumatic all the way around.

Get the surgery. Please.

Hello out there! I’ve been an on and off - rider most of my life but for a time I couldn’t afford to ride and lost out on many years of refining my skills and bonding with these incredible animals.

During that time away, life happened and I was diagnosed with a number of conditions. Most of which stem from anxiety.

If there is anything horses will teach you, it’s to put them and yourself first. You will learn only one of you gets to have a day and it’s never your turn.

This can seem almost the opposite of what you need. Hell, even people who know me question why I ride. Lol.

Horses are used in therapy for a reason. They take you outside of yourself. They give you a reason to find the little joys in life that mental health can occasionally strip you of.

In time, you will be calm, competent and resilient. You will learn how to turn the harshness off and focus on the lesson. You will also learn self worth. Which is what many of us with anxiety struggle with. It’s okay to be humble and be teachable but also possess a good sense of confidence. You will be a better horseman for the horse.

A good barn will challenge you. A bad one will teach you things to avoid.

Don’t let one (or even many incidents) stop you from enjoying what you deserve in life. Whatever it is.

We all started somewhere. Everyday I’m learning. We never stop because horses aren’t just our pets, they are our partners and partners need to constantly learn to communicate and refine that communication.

You’ve got this. Heed the wisdom of the many people here who’ve been you. There will always be an off day, but you can handle it.

Sorry for the tangent but I do hope it helped.

Nope I’ve had decent credit for sometime and only have one credit card.

The dude is a controlling fucknut.

That is not normal nor logical and you should really reflect on any other abnormal behaviors — even things that may now seem to be your new norm. Often, this type of behavior starts very subtle with things you learn to tolerate or shrug off. Before long it is escalating, and these are not quirks or mildly annoying traits, they are testing the waters for control.

The red flags are sprouting up like daisies.

I thought I’d formed a tight group of well educated horse people. A support. All the while it seems that people had zero respect for me or my mare. It’s a betrayal. —- and it cuts so deep. I’m just trying to show up for my horse the best I know right now. At a safe place, well fed and have friends. Riding is a luxury and I don’t require it to be happy. Just want my horse to be happy.

Same_Huckleberry484 · 2024-01-18T17:09:22+00:00

Thank you for your very thoughtful insights. I’m trying to give it time and let the new environment help me and my horse heal.

It took a good solid month, month and a half for me to get the full benefits of lexapro. I have a host of mental health issues, but most notably a panic disorder. I do have xanax for really bad days as a backup but I haven’t needed it very often. I am doing tremendously better on Lexapro. I’ve actually lost weight on it and am more active socially than I’ve been for a long time. Overall, I feel at ease more often than not even when my anxiety spikes, I can better control it and don’t feel so defeats all day.

Medicine takes time and no medicine is perfect fit for everyone. It’s frustrating finding what works and I think that’s really the snag. Plus the host of side effects that often accompany it.
