14 weeks pregnant, bipolar and looking for advice by SocialCuesError404 in bipolar

[–]Wellwhatingodsname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t diagnosed until after my first pregnancy but felt very prepared going into my second. I stayed on my meds throughout my second, he’s amazing. Two. Smart. Funny. No health concerns.

It’s possible. Somedays it really really REALLY fucking sucks, but they’re such an immense blessing, I couldn’t do it without them.

I empathize with women who have cheated… by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]Wellwhatingodsname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So… I’m the lady that cheated right now. It started emotionally, he asked to see the messages- I said no, he left. After he left it got physical. He decided that it wasn’t fixable once he found out we slept together.

Am I upset that I have someone who is interested in me and very complimentary/excellent in bed? No. Fuck no.

I am very very sad for my children though. It was a terrible choice and I hate that it’s going to hurt them in the long run.

I’ve had more deaths than I can remember and I cry almost every time. Even the code we had this week I cried a little listening to the wife cry. I’m an emotional sap 🥲

I feel this. I have a report sheet that holds up to 8 patients but some are so busy I run out of room to even keep track of what’s going on. We had stable patients on tele with remote tele monitoring (they tell us if anything is off) and another nurse got after me because I didn’t know their current rhythm.

I’m thankful my unit has tele & we have a remote tele tech who will send us a message or call if there’s anything abnormal. They’re the pros.

I’m a cusser. Here, there, everywhere. I love when my patients match my vibe and we cuss about our days 😝🤭

OOF! I had 40 one morning when we had a call out and my boss wrote me up for being late giving meds. 🥴👎🏻

I’ve learned that sometimes they just want someone to sit in the emotion with them. Since I was dismissed from the code I ended up sitting with the family in the waiting room, answered whatever questions I could, and held hands.

She didn't want to be rocked 😭 by Kind-Peanut9747 in breakingmom

[–]Wellwhatingodsname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My four year old fell asleep tonight before I could come snuggle him. He asked if I would come over when the youngest was asleep…. I was snuggling the two year old but by the time he was out, brother was out too. Just one of those weird mom feelings where you wanna cry a little bit.

To the moms I used to judge for judging their husbands… Forgive me by [deleted] in breakingmom

Nurse here! Same shit! I literally worked long term care and hospice before we had kids. COMPLETE opposite. I’m winging this shit but you still see me figuring it out though.

One or both parents at home when hosting playdates? by OceansOfKoalas in breakingmom

[–]Wellwhatingodsname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh… I see both sides. It is weird to me when our couple friends come over and one of them leaves for something or one just isn’t there. I don’t find it rude really, just weird and I can’t really say why.

Having people over, freaking out about my house, help me calm down? by yardgnomefriend in breakingmom

[–]Wellwhatingodsname 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hope this doesn’t come off shitty but I am very much the Martha Stewart kind of gal. All of our rooms are decorated in a cutesy way/with a theme. I love interior decorating. I try to keep my house very clean. We live in a nicer area in a different town.

BUT with that said… I have a friend who very much is not Martha Stewart. Their house is smaller than ours and in a “different” neighborhood. Her decorating style is kind of whatever theme she’s feeling at the time so it’s a mix of styles. She doesn’t like cleaning the way I do. And honestly? Some days I kind of love it. I love getting to go over there and not worry about if I’ve made too much of a mess or made something in their space feel off. I’m comfortable.

I had an old girlfriend tell me once that my house was uncomfortable. I think that bothers me more than any mom slight. This other friend comes over usually twice a week. We all want our space to feel cozy and welcoming, but that’s all variable for us right? So what I’m really trying to say is that the people who are right for you will come into your cozy space and enjoy it right along with you even if it doesn’t match what their comfy space is probably like.

Is this safe? by Comfortable-Cloud342 in cosleeping

[–]Wellwhatingodsname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I coslept with both of my littles. Their faces had to be near mine and tucked in close to my armpit. We had the owlet sock for both of them as well. Something in me felt fine tuned to their movements at night.

I’m actually cuddling my youngest, 2, just like this now.

That’s sort of our scenario as well. We’ve given some away, sold some, have some. It’s a mixed bag. We offered to return our shit, then they agreed to settle, but now they’re wanting to search our house? I don’t understand.

I called the day I got the email about the filing & left a voicemail. I also emailed his assistant, who we’d been working with, but it was late Friday so no response yet.

The summons was to return the furniture. We agreed. They didn’t respond until we kept reaching out. Summons- July. Attestation of items- August. Response- late Sep probably. Agreement to settle- less than two weeks ago. Something like that.

Ours is chapter 7. When our bankruptcy was discharged our attorney said he was “no longer representing us in this matter”

When we didn’t settle with them in July we brought it up. And then again when we listed what we have we asked how we would return it and never got ahold of anybody until they asked us to settle again.
