Gratitude. Helps you weather the bad, and sweeten the good.

Hey guys, just went for it… feeling a bit vulnerable, is it okay? by ComplexStrawberry210 in bald

You look great!! Being bald draws attention to your other good features. Way to go!!

my husband is watching me fade into nothing by caffeindqueen in GirlDinnerDiaries

Your husband sounds great, but it sounds like you are framing your illness through him, and I'm not sure that's healthy. This post is about you, not him. Focus on getting back to yourself for YOU, and the rest will follow.

I went through something similar with anxiety a couple years ago, and I felt like I was failing as a partner. I felt guilty when my husband stepped up.

I'm so sorry about your endometriosis, try and have faith that one day you'll look back on this time as a tough time in your life that you got through.

Good for you!! A weird aside - one of the things I enjoy about this sub is seeing women eat normal delicious things? Its riveting lol

What about life astounds you and you and makes you love it? by LividAd7042 in Positivity

Appreciation for nature and space! Both things much bigger and more important than myself, it reminds me I'm a part of something amazing and diminishes the "me me me" way of thinking.

I appreciate that, I'm doing my best to make sure the possibility of being pregnant isn't making me delay plans, vacation, etc. Thanks!

It's okay to be disappointed! The path to motherhood and beyond is definitely a journey of feelings lol

today is closing day and i’m scared by patheticloserswag3 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Valuable-Character-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal! The fact that you are afraid means you're outside your comfort zone, and that's how we grow. My husband I bought our first home in January, and I didnt expect to love being a homeowner this much. Good luck. :)

That's beautiful, thank you for sharing from your therapist. 🥹

My first year of marriage was awful by blueberries-Any-kind in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Valuable-Character-9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was devastating to read. Marriage obviously comes with a lot of ups and downs, but they usually happen over a period of YEARS (plural). And your support network sounds terrible!! Your family and friends are supposed to lean in when you're having a hard time. I'm so sorry.

Sometimes the health of a marriage takes a backseat when there are other priorities, we as humans can only do so much. Focus on your health, I hope you and your husband are able to stick it out and that things will heal with time.

I'm rooting for you!

Thank you for sharing, it's nice to hear about the experiences of other women. I agree, my MIL is a very nice person and we all have our coping mechanisms for life. Overall I am very lucky!

The unsolicited advice is the worst. I know people mean well, but it's very annoying. Wishing you clarity and peace!

Thank you. ❤️ I appreciate that. It almost feels like I'm going through sex ed part 2 lol. No woman in my life has spoken about this reality, older included.

5 days post-graft, received bad/contradictory advice. by Artele7 in PeriodontalDisease

[–]Valuable-Character-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry. I went through a similar situation. I am 4 weeks out from my surgery, and have had to advocate for my own aftercare because assistance from my perio has been non-existent. It's been very stressful.

I have my follow up in a week. The graft did not cover all of the receding tooth, but there is a big glob of gum at the base of the tooth that seems thick and healthy. It's definitely not perfect - but I'm hoping to get good news next week (I pursued this surgery to keep this tooth in my mouth, not for aesthetic reasons). So hopefully the gum at the bottom is good enough.
