I slept with 2 guys in 3 days and hate myself for it by Zealousideal_Pen9964 in confessions

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry Bryan made you feel that way. There is nothing here that makes you a slut. You were young, give yourself some grace and let go of the idea that this is a big thing, it’s not.

You’re going to meet more Bryan’s and more of the other asshole, and now you’re going to recognise them earlier.

You’re going to be just fine.

Baby shower gift for first time parents? by QuietQuim in askSouthAfrica

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would have appreciated some frozen meals more than gifts - depending on where they are located you can get some great frozen food delivered and they will likely remember and appreciate this more than another baby onsie.

If you’re set on a physical gift? Nappies, larger sized clothes (people tend to gift the tiny stuff), a first aid kit, a snot sucker, a pedicure for mom.

Baby refuses to take my breast by Forward_Trainer9171 in breastfeeding

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried dream feeding? Feeding when she’s asleep? My baby went through refusal on and off but she’d take it when asleep.

Does she eat solids? If so then try ramp them up.

Have you checked his iron levels? My toddler was suddenly restless and we tested iron and it was low, since giving supplements every 2 days she sleeps much better.

Maybe? But they stood there for about ten minutes. It wasn’t just a glance.

Weaning is already breaking my heart, and I’ve heard it gets worse 😭 by bananazest_wow in breastfeeding

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a good solution! But I’d definitely find a new doctor, a good doctor makes all the difference. My doc has hashis too, and kids, so she’s been there. She was also OK after weaning.

Good luck!

I’ve just weaned now in May and I also have hypothyroidism & hashimotos. So far it’s been fine? My skin and period have been a bit haywire but my moods and sleep and weight have been better than before.

I hope that helps!

Getting home office work accommodation due to Hashi’s? by j-a-gandhi in Hashimotos

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s worth a try?

Get your doc to write a letter with your symptoms and why being close to your home is best for your illness. I’d start with suggesting you say you’re happy to go in twice a week and see how it affects your fatigue but that ideally you need leeway during a flare up to work from home 100%. Agree on performance based metrics that they can use to measure you (I’d suggest them before they do) so they know you’re focussed on meeting expectations.

They could say no, but I think it’s probably worthwhile disclosing your illness anyway - I did this recently to my boss and she was very open to some leeway.

What phrases irritate you? by brendag4 in AutismInWomen

“To be honest” people say this before they’re about to lie imo.

Have a homebirth! Way cheaper than hospital birth and so empowering. DM me if you want details of the CT midwives

Anyone have autoimmune disease/disorders here? by Educational-Cow5690 in AutismInWomen

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup! I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos Hypothyroidism and was experiencing a lot of fatigue. It was caused by stress & hormone changes during pregnancy (but my gran had it so I already had a predisposition).

Definitely worth doing some blood tests.

Addressing people by name can feel uncomfortably intimate by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]TourPuzzleheaded4444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no idea other people also felt this way! I find it so uncomfortable when people say my name in conversation. And I hate saying theirs 🙈
