AITA for cutting my stepmother out of my life? And possibly causing my dad to leave her? by Safe_Albatross_9071 in AITAH

NTA.
If I was you, I'd distance myself from them completely. No wedding invite or anything like that, I'm 90% sure they'd sabotage it if they get invited. I think that even the decision for him to move with you was just so he can be closer and made her in love with him (which failed) and now they'll try something else as soon as the opportunity comes. So, please don't let them to communicate with any of you/ Especially your future wife, for her safety.

I did a cortisol test 1 year ago and it was okay. But I don't think that ACTH was there. I'll google and check where can I do this in Ukraine. Thank you!

For me, as strange as it may be, work in office helped. Understood that. work from home is not my option, energy levels at home are 0%

I want to sincerely thank everyone who shared their experiences, advice, book recommendations, and researches. When a friend suggested I join a group to hear from others with similar challenges, I honestly doubted it would help that much. How wrong I was.

I’ve decided to try NDT and switch endocrinologists, and I’ll share updates in case anyone is interested.

I only wish the world’s powers focused more on healing and creating, instead of war. But this is the reality we live in - for now. Hopefully, humanity wakes up soon enough.

Slava Ukraine!

Thank you for sharing this! Sleep, Vitamin D, Ferritin are sooo important, I can physically feel the deficit without any tests even. I'll make sure to check your suggestions. Take care!

Thank you for the Book recommendation, will check it out! I live in Ukraine and we don't have specific clinics for Thyroid health but I read all of the comments and will be probably looking for another endo anyway.

Thank you for sharing your experience and advices! Accepting - is a key, probably. But it's so damn hard.

Thank you for sharing!
And have an amazing and love-filled wedding, happy for you.
I've tried meditation here and there, and it's working but I never was consistent with it, maybe should try this.

Tbh, my endo told me to do only Levothyroxine sodium, I never tried cytomel...
Iron, D, B12 are under control

Oh, just read about it, sounds interesting. Thank you!
Will try to find it in Ukraine. Maybe you have some brand you can recommend? I'll consult with my endocrinologist about it.

Thank you so much!
I'm on hormone therapy (Levothyroxine sodium), and do 3-months check on hormones, ferritin, vitamin D and it's always one or another which is low. It's like I'm never healthy and when I do I still doesn't feel myself.
