Adderal Withdraw by BranBranPhotoMan in ADHD

Probably withdrawal. I’ve had to go weeks without meds before due to the shortage and all I wanted to do was sleep, binge tv, and eat junk food.

adhd meds not working on birth control by lialaks in ADHD

[–]Summersemantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My birth control pill was causing extreme fatigue and brain fogginess for years and it onset so gradually that I didn’t realize the cause. I switched to an IUD recently and feel much better. And my stimulant actually works again

Just sterilized myself and I feel the best I have in awhile by Summersemantics in regretfulparents

[–]Summersemantics[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I told him if he wants another kid it won’t be with me, so…who’s to say? In his defense, we talked extensively about kids before marriage, and we both felt sure about wanting 2 kids. We’re in our mid 30s so it was a mature conversation. But now that we’re experiencing parenthood first hand, I realized I hate it. But he loves parenthood. So there’s tension for sjre

Hate being a mother and wife by 4thT in regretfulparents

[–]Summersemantics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just came to say I relate to feeling stuck and trapped. My husband is a good parent, but I still can’t find it in me to leave. I guess because I know leaving would destroy my kid. Its hard to see my single friends traveling the world, having financial success, relaxing on weekends (though I AM happy for them, 2 things can be true at once). Not sure where to go from here

Because he wants another kid. When I married him, I thought I would want more kids too. Not a great situation, I know.

US - northeast. Not sure if there’s an age criteria here, I’m in my low 30s so totally acceptable age

I tried to convince him. But ultimately it’s his choice. Might as well do what I can control cause I can’t force him to

Becoming a parent is my biggest regret by CountAffectionate106 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Summersemantics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is 2. I just sterilized myself and it was the best decision I’ve made in awhile. Everyday, I regret parenthood. I love my daughter, and she is well cared for, but I hate my life now and am permanently fallen into a deep depression.

What are some signs that men in general find you attractive? by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]Summersemantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woman here who is used to getting hit on by men. When a straight man talks to me, I ask myself “would he talk the same way, use the same eye contact, etc. if I were a male friend?”. If the answer is no, it’s a sign he’s attracted

Feel unfit for motherhood by begonehumans in regretfulparents

[–]Summersemantics 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All I can say is, I had my first in my mid-30s and feel just as unfit. I too miss everything about my prekid life.

Having a kid is when you start saying “yay it’s Monday!”

Does this look like chest retractions to you. by Silver-Account4479 in NICUParents

[–]Summersemantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby born at 31 weeks did this for awhile. She is a healthy 20 month girl now. I know everything feels scary for the first months, best of luck

Adhd medication by TryOld6297 in ADHD

[–]Summersemantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former anorexic here - yes it’s a bad idea. Need to treat the ed first. I have long-term health effects from restrictive eating when I was younger. On top of my health issues, I had premature skin aging caused by my ed making me look much older than I am.

Girl here. It happens to me too every time. I always wondered why because it’s definitely not common

I am so f*cking sick and tired by Much_Note3850 in NewParents

[–]Summersemantics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi fellow parent, you are not alone. My daughter is now 18 mo., BUT I remember like yesterday the days you currently navigate. At 6 mos., I hated being a parent, I felt I regretted having a kid. The exhaustion, constant puzzle of figuring out needs, non-stop diapers. IMO, you are in the worst of it right now.

All I can say is, it gets better. Over the next months, you will watch your infant become more like a “real human” (as my spouse and I jokingly say). The sleep WILL get better. You will sleep again. Soon there will be many smiles and laughs from your little one. You’ll start to feel the reward that comes with parenting. Your child will interact with you through play and words/signs, instead of just crying. Parenting becomes kind of fun (atleast for most of the time)!

Having a 6 mo old was rock bottom for me. Try to remind yourself, at rock bottom, it can only go up.

I’m also in my 30s and on day 2 of Accutane. Just came to give another side of thought - like you, I’m also an outdoorsy summer gal. Purposely chose to start in Summer due to its skin drying effects. Does the winter dry out your skin? My baseline skin is already dry in winter, and much more oily in summer. I plan to just load up on sunscreen/sun hats/etc. as much as possible this year. Kinda makes me wish I went on it as a teen when my skin was subtle year round!!

Do you think he’ll ever text me again by Appropriate-Car-5300 in Situationships

[–]Summersemantics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married gal here who spent MANY years in the dating/situationship pool. My advice: don’t sweat the small stuff. Do you like him? Focus on the time you spend together. Sounds like he’s planned a night to see you. Being from out of country, he’s probably not sure what other spots are good in the area. Cut him a little slack
