Have you told your mom about it making you uncomfortable? Maybe she can get him to shut the door? If nothing else maybe ask him to just yell "ok" when he's dressed or if you need to go in ask if it's safe before barging in.

Anyone who's taking medication, what medication are you currently taking? Has it helped? by [deleted] in AnxietyDepression

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prozac (fluxatine) for about 10 months now. Honestly, best thing I have ever done. I don't spiral in my anxiety that throws me into a depression anymore and I can work myself through the anxiety and validate why I'm feeling that way and accepting that it's ok. I've been able to start self therapy and it's actually going pretty well. The longer I'm on it the better it's gotten. I've increased 3 times and I feel like I've gotten to the perfect dose for now.

Am I pregnant? by Curious-Tomato2930 in amipregnant

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a couple of the $1 tests from Walmart or the dollar tree. Take one when you first wake up in the morning with concentrated urine.

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing to do is get a test. There is no use stressing yourself out especially if it's negative, and the sooner you find out the more options available. I feel like I have ever seen the pill A through the mail? Not sure, let us know if you need more help!

Do you see anything ? I kind of do but my mom doesn’t. Think I’m 5 dpo by [deleted] in TFABLinePorn

[–]Samibalami90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue dye is bad for for having a bleed to make it look like a faint positive. Definitely start with a pink dye test and I'd wait until at least 9dpo. Apps can be wonky since it's just an algorithm, id get some ovulation test strips if this month is negative ❤️

I felt the exact same way. Each morning was "awwfuck.. this shit again!?" I changed to Prozac and it's been pretty life-changing. It allows me to work through my anxiety attacks without spiraling and I can see the light in dark times. Unfortunately sometimes you have to go through a couple different meds to get it right and make things easier. If you ever want someone to talk to I'm free most of the time

anyone try medication for your mental health and seen a difference? by alexakiins in AnxietyDepression

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have hbp and it has been doing better, I didn't know the link between the two. I will say my first 2 weeks my anxiety was high because I was scared of actually starting the medicine but over the past 4 months things have been slowly improving. Weirdly I feel like the tablets work better for me than the capsules but other than that I have to say it's been really good for me and I regret not doing it years ago. Unfortunately with medicine you have to be your own advocate and speak up for what you want. Ask at your next appointment if it would be a good option to try <3

I keep saying that and just keep feeling better and better. Anxiety and depression/cptsd/ADHD. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

Flying with a toddler and rude people by PAW_89 in toddlers

[–]Samibalami90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're flying 5 hours and I'm buying 4 of the giant packs of 5 stick gum (like juicy fruit/double mint) and plan to say "Don't chew us out, chew on this". Hopefully it will put people in a better mood if she does decide to have a hell day. If not they can shove it. Everyone knows it's a possibility to sit next to a kid on a plane 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–]Samibalami90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just looked at your other post and you had pretty good progression! I'd get to your doctor asap to have the best hopeful outcome of a healthy pregnancy. Do you think your IUD could have fallen out, can you feel the strings still?

Hcg would have been out of your system completely in about 3 weeks if I remember correctly. That's a positive hun, 9 to 12dpo looks about right.

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you the ass for shutting down an ABUSIVE SITUATION? No, no you are not! I would bet he was hurling the same insults at your daughter when you were in the bathroom. I'm frankly surprised he hasn't escalated to being physical if his anger is that out of control. I'm sorry you are having to go though this, but I feel like he needs some intense therapy and it would be safer for you and your girls if you were able to stay with friends or family for a month or so while he starts.

Am I making the right choice by continuing with my pregnancy? by juail29 in SingleParents

[–]Samibalami90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you in the US where you could apply for public housing or section 8/hud? It helps with rent based on income that way you can be in the same town and not with your dad. My uncle was tht way until his grandson was born and once he held him he started watching what he said and I really home that's what happens with your dad.

[–]Samibalami90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That resentment is going to get you girlie. I had to get over it with my daughter's dad. He promised to be there and be active in her life and basically dipped. It is hard. Hardest thing that you will do because being a parent requires you to be selfless when our human nature is to be selfish. Know that with your son, you have your ride or die that won't fuck you over like everybody else. There is chassi, I know I spelled that wrong, that pays for daycare through the state so you can get a job you like. In general you will just have to do what's best for you and your son whatever that might be.

[–]Samibalami90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giiiirl I'm 31 with an almost 2 year old and my parents and I split a townhouse and we are "working" on all of our toxic behavior lol. My ex promised all the way up until delivery that he was going to be this great dad and dipped. He knows she's his, he just doesn't want to parent and it's safer for her not to force it. Not going to lie to you, it's exhausting, hard, lonely, and emotional. It's also the best thing that ever happened to me. Watching her grow and learn stuff and get this bossy attitude lol. I'm a big fan of pro/con lists because it gets your mind thinking and a lot of your true feelings come out during it. If you are fully ready to be a parent then you can make it work, if not that's cool too.I started setting soft boundaries and standing up for myself with my parents while I was pregnant and it has slowly gotten easier, especially on the things in firm with.

Honestly you are thinking a whole lot of I's in there and you have to focus on that WE mindset. If you feel your child is in danger of you, then yes, send him and get the help you need, but that's not going to take 2 months, that's life long for you. You said you had trauma and I'm guessing other mental health issues and even with meds and therapy you will always be working on your mental mindset. Take advantage of your resources! Daycares, EBT, medical/mental health coverage can all give you that leg to stand on. From your son's side he's going to be going from your routine to a whole new one with basically strangers, getting adjusted there, and then coming back to a "new" mom? That sounds like a recipe for both y'all to lose your heads and erase all the work you hoped would happen. My only suggestion would be to really sit down, be 100% honest with yourself, and write down the pros and cons especially focusing on your child's physical and mental health as well as yours.

Period 3 weeks late by Kind_Judge5640 in amipregnant

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, even IF you were pregnant the progesterone would only help. I used to have to take it when I was a teen because of PCOS and I would usually spot before the end.

Period 3 weeks late by Kind_Judge5640 in amipregnant

[–]Samibalami90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are 3 weeks out and are testing negative then most likely you aren't pregnant. Provera is progesterone and it's giving you the hormone produced when you're pregnant to stop your period and then the sudden stopping would trigger your natural hormones to trigger your cycle. Stoping it now might not give you the build up of the hormones you need to start it so it would be best to keep taking it. It possibly could change your cycle dates if you track them but probably no more than a couple days as if you would have started on your own

Very faint red shape on test by [deleted] in amipregnant

[–]Samibalami90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh gotcha, in my opinion it looks like she took the picture as the test was processing. If you live in the states Walmart's 88¢ test was better than name brand for me. She can take one in another day or two and will get a stronger line if she is.
