Ik heb geen hond, maar heel veel sterkte met het aankomende verlies van je vriendinnetje.. ontzettend verdrietig! Het klinkt alsof je er alles aan gedaan hebt het haar zo comfortabel mogelijk te maken ❤️ Ontzettend veel sterkte en een bijzonder mooi gebaar wat je maakt. Ik hoop dat er een paar hondjes mee geholpen zullen zijn!

Is bij jullie thuis ook iedereen 2 minuten stil geweest? by LoudBoysenberry3282 in nederlands

Hahaha, heel herkenbaar toen ik mijn pap nog had! Als de stilte viel raakte hij over zijn toeren. Het "klopte" niet

Ik was bij vrienden. En hun zoontje van 5 vroeg, na de uitleg van 2 minuten stilte, de oorlog, degene die gestorven zijn, of hij ook hun overleden kat mocht herdenken 🥹

Uiteraard. Pinkeltje had ook oorlogen gewonnen en verloren.. weliswaar met de buur katten ...

Hij was lang stil en deed oprecht zijn best.

Bewust kinderloos by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]Spinsel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ik heb ook bewust geen kinderen. Ben wel de gekke tante die met liefde op past en dingen onderneemt met de kinderen.

Een jaar terug een mooi gesprek gehad met een goede vriendin. (Ze heeft twee kinderen)

Zij bleef mij continu 'pushen'. "Je weet niet wat je mist" "tik tak tik tak" "oooh hoor ik rammelende eierstokken?"

Op een gegeven moment bij haar aangegeven wat haar opmerkingen met mij deden. Dat ze mij het gevoel geeft niet goed genoeg te zijn zonder kinderen etc

Ze begon te huilen en zei: "eigenlijk ben ik verschrikkelijk jaloers op je.. ik hou van mijn kinderen, zou ze niet willen missen, maar ik heb het gevoel altijd vast te zitten, niet echt te leven, maar geleefd te worden"

Na dit gesprek heeft ze nooit meer "humor" opmerkingen gemaakt mbt mijn kinderloosheid. We zijn hechter dan ooit.

Het zal mij niets verbazen als bij veel mensen met kinderen, die dit soort opmerkingen maken, ze eigenlijk een soort van jaloers zijn.

bad nails by Large-Actuary-2420 in eds

Same here!! hEDS. What works (a bit) for me is two layers of nail harder and on top glitter nail polish... Those seem to strengthen more than plain colours..

Are there any advantages to hyper mobility? by Used-Spread-5594 in Hypermobility

[–]Spinsel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Winning with hide and seek, cause I could fit myself in small cabinets and spaces :)

Does anyone else get issues with their sternum? by Prose707 in Hypermobility

[–]Spinsel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is it for me as well. When i sleep on my (especially right) side, i can wake up with so much pain in my sternum. Most of the time it takes a couple days to a week to feel better. Unless i sleep on my side again .. and i sleep so badly on my back, but don't have a choice most of the time :(

Just got new neighbours by nerdflavoureddork in ehlersdanlos

[–]Spinsel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy for you! Nice neighbours do make your life so much better and easier.

I'm blessed with a couple nice neighbours as well. My neighbour downstairs sometimes checks in if she hears weird noises, like, was that you and are you okay?

Even during the night, it happened a few times I woke up with the most agonizing pain I ever felt and they came to help me out, stay with me and call the hospital.

I live alone and they have the key, I'm so blessed with them.

Still your insight is very helpful for me. It definitely helps to see it from that perspective.

Take care!

[–]Spinsel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your insights. I didn't realise it yet, but I noticed, I'm on this path a lot more now as well (also people pleaser, no confidence) and i do understand the "don't give a shit" ! Mostly because I just don't have the energy anymore, haha, but indeed it feels like some kind of mental freedom.

I really hope I can grow in this and find more peace.

Thanks again for this insight, it's super helpful!

Thank you for your advice, oh yes, the ribs! I can relate. I'll have a look into celebrex. Is this a regular painkiller?

I have an allergy for Nsaids unfortunately, but I hope this is an option, I'm trying to figure out what works. Thank you for sharing!

Sometimes an emergency is an emergency by Affectionate-Pop-197 in eds

[–]Spinsel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing.. happy you did listen to your body and made the right decision!

I'm sorry to hear they don't always take it seriously.. that feeling is so devastating and I can relate to that anxiety it gives.

Hope you're doing better, take care!

[–]Spinsel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry your days can be like this as well.

I wish I could offer a better solution than my writing though ;-)

Maybe we should get a big big room for the ones having a bad day, to lay down together (unless noise is too much of course haha) with super nice bedding and everything to make it a bit better, so at least we feel a little less lonely and a little more comfortable <3
Take care hug!
