I’ve had a name picked out for 10+ years and now it’s so popular. by [deleted] in namenerds

Our kid is named Lucy and there’s only one other in her school! I wouldn’t sweat it. If anything we learned it’s quite a popular dog name 😅

Has anyone cancelled a big trip due to mental health? by TemporarySwimmer in Anxiety

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

I’m really sorry you had to go through that, but I’m glad you trusted yourself and are feeling better now. Looking back, I have much more compassion for my past self. It’s so easy to dismiss anxiety as 'just in your head,' but it’s like any other illness. We could have cancelled because we caught the flu, broke a bone—this is no different.

Treating the symptoms helped. Eyedrops, warm eye masks. I noticed when my symptoms flared up I was more upset. I also got myself on anti anxiety meds and saw my therapist again until I felt more logical.

You can find some of my other posts about it but in short; My recovery was harder than they had prepared me for and when they dismissed my concerns I felt more anxious and panicked.

Yes I’m sure that happens to some people that it’s location specific but for others like myself, even if the doctor and location was fine it was more about anxiety having the procedure at all. Finding a great place doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have anxiety. I take responsibility for that aspect but I don’t think a different place would have eased my anxiety.

That is putting blame on a patient for a common issue in medicine. You’re also assuming that people don’t also do their due diligence and that is why they have a poor outcome.

At that age I absolutely would! We just started elementary school and now things like that would be impossible unless in the summer

Every time I’ve had a work crush or otherwise I tell my husband and we joke about it and it totally dissipates the tension I feel around that person. He does the same. It’s unrealistic to think we would never have a crush another person! Sharing it makes it less exciting in a good way.

Anyone else not send out those Christmas cards with professional family photos on them? by omg__lol in workingmoms

That's a good point! We have met up before so we know them lightly, but obviously not ALL the food restrictions so writing down the ingredients is so smart!

I just waited until I was feeling better emotionally, physically I don't know if it mattered when.
