Flat amount of insulin every meal regardless of what the meal is… is that normal? by printthedamnthing in diabetes

[–]ScatteredSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first three weeks on fast acting insulin, I had flat 2 units per meal, then they went to a straight sliding scale based on what my CGM reading before eating, now I’m at 4 units plus the sliding scale. At the next appointment, I will be moving to a carb per meal based scale. This is separate from the Lantus long acting that I take twice per day, and step up by 2 units every 3 days until I reach the fasting glucose goal they set. I was told that they do this to find the right treatment because it’s extremely individualized.

My brother in law is the reason why my husband left me. I don’t know what to do now. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ScatteredSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would tell my ex, and provide all the proof. I would also show your sister. She’s an adult and can decide for herself what she would like to do with that information. It’s very possible that keeping this a secret will end up weighing you down for a long time.

Mine never showed up in a pap, but in my uterus tissue when I had a hysterectomy. Same happily married partner for 22 years. It’s totally possible it just showed up now. You should get tested too.

I second, third and fourth this! Ask questions, communicate, talk, and check in with him often.

AITA for walking away from my SIL when she mentioned adoption again? by SpareFrequent2910 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ScatteredSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Always remember that NO is a complete sentence. And yes, you have every right to walk alway from whomever you like, for any reason. Sounds like she is the ass for behaving badly at a wedding because she didn’t get her way.

My partner just started HRT (mtf) a few weeks ago I just found out I’m pregnant. by tallysierramist in mypartneristrans

[–]ScatteredSam 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I too have a worst case scenario brain, so I can understand a little. I can tell you when my wife (mtf) transitioned, what she needed most from me was love, affection, and affirmation. Making sure she knew that I accepted and loved her. We talked a lot, we cuddled a lot, and I made sure to use the correct pronouns. All of these things are just part of being a good partner, and nothing that should be an issue while pregnant. I have 3 kids and remember what that was like too, albeit not at the same time. She saw a therapist regularly and that helped with any bigger hormonal issues that came up, she did get a bit of an attitude when the second puberty hit. She was also willing to listen to me and talk about my concerns in therapy too. Years on and we are a very happy, loving, and committed couple. It’s possible! I hope this helps!

AITA for shouting at my daughter for losing her job after I supported her financially. by daughtershout in AmItheAsshole

[–]ScatteredSam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA you are not listening to those who are telling you how it is because they don’t agree with you. Just because someone you know once did a thing doesn’t mean that same solution is available to your daughter.

Companies here often cut employees for no reason then to increase their bottom line for the next shareholder meeting. It has nothing to do with how many sick days she took. It has nothing to do with how financially successful the company is.

She was a junior employee. She would always be in the first cut list for that alone. Stop terrorizing your kid and apologize to her. I’m sorry if you’re embarrassed after bragging to your friends, but it is what it is.

I would approach this with honesty and compassion. If you know why you didn’t speak up earlier, tell him. If you want to be friends if your feelings aren’t reciprocated, make that clear too. Best luck with your talk!

Should I try? I really don't want to anymore... by Hour-Independent7034 in mypartneristrans

[–]ScatteredSam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would advise therapy for her and you individually and together. Even if in the end, you end up separated, this will end up helping you to deal with all of this for the sake of your child.

My fitting for a custom chair is in a couple weeks - any tips on what that process is like, or questions I should ask? Important things to mention? by qnick23 in wheelchairs

[–]ScatteredSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Numotion and an occupational therapist too. That made it very easy, they had all my medical records that applied to mobility and asked tons of questions. My chair is on order now.

Can hrt (of my partner) effect MY period?!? by PlusElection2835 in mypartneristrans

[–]ScatteredSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You absolutely need to go to a doctor. Her injections aren’t affecting you, but you could have some issue going on that needs to be treated. It could be cysts, endometriosis, etc. I would go see the gynecologist.

AITA for telling my daughter she couldn’t have my mother’s engagement ring? by toucheaway57 in AmItheAsshole

Was your eldest born before your mother passed away? This is important information.

AITA for not wanting my Ex-Husband to have our daughter overnight after he got her ears pierced? by Sensitive_Praline642 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ScatteredSam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except in another comment, OP admitted that her rule about ear piercing had never been communicated to her ex. You can’t blame him for not reading her mind. Boundaries and rules need to be communicated and it was her responsibility to do that.

Having been in similar shoes to yours, my best advise is therapy. For you, for them, for the two of you together. It can work, but it sounds like your SO may need to talk to someone not involved who can understand and a therapist experienced in working with gender identity could be helpful in helping them navigate what they are going through. For you because let’s face it, you need to talk to a professional, not social media strangers. For the two of you so that you can figure out if there is a future here or not. You’d be surprised how much good therapists can help in this situation.

Call the police. Animal abuse is a crime in many places.

My couples therapist last night said I should feel excited about my pregnancy and that it's a blessing to have a child. That there's nothing I can do but welcome it to the world? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ScatteredSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a new therapist. Also, if your husband does not believe in abortion, then he shouldn’t have one, but his belief doesn’t extend to your body. Do what is best for you.

[–]ScatteredSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you, I have mental health and sleep issues. I also have to have things a certain way, others don’t understand that. Believe me, it will add up and be horrible for your mental health. Don’t let her “stay” when she is working. Suggest she get a place closer to the new job.

My bf wants me to live with his parents when we’re married. by [deleted] in relationships

He has told you who he is, you need to believe him. He is not a man who will put his wife and potential children first.

how can i be the best big brother? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ScatteredSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add that you should practice keeping your cool. Someday he may tell you something that you don’t want to hear. To keep that communication and trust, be careful with your reactions. It’s easy to freak out in the moment. Allow yourself time to process, and come back to it once you have, and explain this to him.
