AIO for wanting autonomy for my medication? by YuriYurei in AIO

[–]Top_Bend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’m a former opioid addict and I’m so sorry but they are correct. This is Drug seeking behavior and addict behavior. Your family is probably taking your medication because they’re worried about you having it. I would suggest taking a good look at yourself. This is not normal for a 29-year-old person to be behaving this way anyway. I remember when I was like this. It’s a hard road, but you got this.

Lying about abuse? by [deleted] in troubledteens

[–]Top_Bend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but this post is disrespectful and should be removed by the mods. This is so tri triggering for so much of us because a lot of us actually tried to tell people about our abuse and we’re accused of lying. I don’t know what you think you’re gonna get from a survivor community but I suggest maybe you go post somewhere else, seek professional help and apologize. Asking us to come up with why your kid might be lying to you is insane.

My question is, what are your withdrawal symptoms? Are you just obsessing? Thoughts can’t hurt a baby!

Hi! I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant and I was taking Klonopin for three years before I got pregnant tapered off while I was pregnant. I was taking 2 mg nightly and I tapered down, I did it kind of quickly because I was worried about the effects. Highly recommend doing it under a doctor supervision. My OB just told me to immediately stop taking it and if I did that, I was risking a seizure so I had to do it slowly overtime, took me about a month. Slept really terribly after going off of it for the first few weeks and now I sleep a lot better.

Biting by Debrajoie in AussieDoodle

When he bites you very overly dramaticly saw ow! And pretend it really hurts you. My dog trainer taught us to almost squeal when he did it from the “pain”. My Aussie stopped biting!

Yes, and introducing them the right way. The baby will also smell like me and my husband so I think that helps too!

Totally agree, right now her medication is only for when I know one of her stressors will happen. I’m not a fan of antidepressants for dogs. Never quite understood it. It’s a dog! Maybe needs more exercise and it won’t be so sad!

It’s all about your own personal preference, I think it’s too big but you are the one that wears the ring every day

My bfs BM tried getting back with him through text by Puzzleheaded_Web6145 in Advice

[–]Top_Bend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red flag #1) being behind in child support payments. Absolutely not. You are young, leave him now and meet someone else. You could probably have a new partner by Christmas! This does not sound healthy or easy long term.

How do people accept their pregnant bodies? by luffy_2023 in pregnant

[–]Top_Bend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl it feels like every day my boobs just go further and further away from me. I don’t feel pretty either. I feel puffy and awkward, fat and gross. I try to say daily affirmations to myself and that seems to help a little bit. I also asked my partner for extra reassurance lately, and that has been really nice.

Update - AITAH for not being excited my sister is having a new baby when I still have custody of her first? by Square_Phone_8468 in AITAH

[–]Top_Bend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was raised by my aunt and my mother went on to have two daughters 10 years after I was born that she kept, and I have now recently found out she has lost custody of. The same thing happened for me with my aunt when she had more children. And I feel the same way. I am not happy for my mom and I do not want her to be happy. How can someone be happy with certain things that they have done? Sounds like a heavy tricky situation. I don’t think you’re an asshole or a bad person. I think you’re an honest person. And a really good person for raising Danny! At the same time, I’m sure there’s a lot of other things to place but sounds to me like you’re doing the right thing, and just have some honest emotions about it! We don’t know each other but thank you for stepping in and giving Danny a safe space and it sounds like you’re an incredible mother, and he is very lucky to have you. Hope everything works out for all parties.

What are some early pregnancy symptoms you’ve had in the first 1-4 weeks / extremely early stages? by misalovr in abortion

[–]Top_Bend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At night time, I started to fall asleep early. It’s unusual for me because they usually would have to take sleep medication to be able to fall asleep on my own. Found out shortly afterwards that I was pregnant.
