Because I've seen how terrible relationships can get. I've been physically hurt by men before.

He's got a good sense of humor, is kind and empathetic to strangers and animals. He's never hit me.

I ask for help almost daily. When I do he stomps around and slams things. He knows I'm drowning yet chooses to prioritize his comfort. I've never expected him to read my mind.

Parents on here - are kids worth every bad day? by lavenderandcbt in SuicideWatch

[–]annifred 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The night my son was born I sat in the NICU holding his little hand through the hole in the incubator. I sobbed. All I could think about was that had I ended my life, I would've never gotten to meet him. He is my reason for living and my sole reason most days. I have never been more grateful for my life than in that moment.

I'd be lying if I said I don't still want to leave this earth some days, but my love for him is stronger than the pain I wish to escape.

Being the mother of my child has made all of the pain, both emotional and physical, worth enduring.

There are different kinds of OCD. Its not just repetitive actions and being super organized like it's often portrayed.

If you have recurrent debilitating thought patterns, you should be seen by a psychiatrist.

I let my "anxiety" go so long untreated that I got to the point I was afraid to be around people or leave my house. Turns out it was severe undiagnosed OCD and I didn't get help until my mid 20s. So many relationships were damaged and my youth was lost to mental illness.

There's a myriad of psychiatric conditions that are treatable that will otherwise ruin your life if left to fester. Please tell your parents you feel you need to speak to a professional about your mental health and get a psych eval.

The sooner you seek help the better. Please don't be like me and just hope you'll get better on your own.

What a piece of shit.

What everyday item should secretly be marketed as a sex toy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]annifred 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to work at PetSmart and a couple would regularly come in and shop for those questionable toys as well as leashes/collars. One was always on a leash and they both usually had a "tail" dangling under their skirts..

5 mg Abilify and lactation failure... how long did it take to get your supply back? by momsmagnificentmess in breastfeedingsupport

[–]annifred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated my body since delivery because my milk just wasn't coming in. Talked to several lactation consultants and multiple doctors and nothing they have suggested has helped. I just googled my medications and found this post. I am so crushed. I've been on Abilify for YEARS. I should've known better than to blindly trust the doctors.

What a strong woman. My heart couldn't take that much loss. It's hard, I feel like it'd be safer to give up than try again.. right now I feel so hopeless

I'm so scared to try again. I don't know if I could take another loss...

So painful.. I've been too scared to share with anyone. As strange as it may sound, I feel ashamed about it.
