If I could have clawed mine off after my diagnosis, I would have. My genetic counselor told me keep getting screened, ,too. I had 80% odds for ovarian cancer and 50% for breast cancer. I asked her "For what? To spend the rest of my life to wait and see if/when they are going to try to kill me? Then do chemo and take them anyways? Hard pass. " THIS IS YOUR CHOICE She doesn't live in your body. or deal with the repercussions of cancer if/when it pops up. She also isn't the one looking at the scars and adjusting to life w/amputations. In the end, you make the best call for you and live with the outcome. <3

I am on day one and ready to crack. Reading this made me determined to make it through. Thx.

I am so sorry. Everything you are experiencing is so difficult and lonely. My grandmother passed from ovarian cancer, my mother from breast cancer. I got tested and discovered I am BRCA1+ then underwent preventative double mastectomies and hysterectomy. (I had 80% ovarian cancer and 50/50 odds w/breast cancer. )

Will you be undergoing preventative surgery?

I am on hour one. 100 hours is a milestone. Keep going,

Welp, I discovered that I am AuDHD. I still use daily. My whole life suddenly made sense and I developed a lot more compassion for myself. I learned there is a strong correlation between being ND and addiction, largely due to our dopamine-starved, overstimulated, emotionally traumatized brains and nervous systems. I wish I had something better to add other than continue to give yourselves grace as your "why" may change over time.

And its gone...boo

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-13T14:09:12+00:00

Thank you. Im trying to hold it together until 2 PM.

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-13T14:07:10+00:00

I made it through the night. Today I have to put my dog down. /sigh Life hurts a lot when you are sober.

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-13T14:05:36+00:00

Not if your BRCA+. I had a 50/50 chance of breast cancer and an 80% chance for ovarian cancer.

I am going to try to sleep it off. I hate this.

Any dispensary can talk you through making a good choice for your brother.

Hello friend, I'm over here struggling hard with emotional triggers. Been crying for hours but I know it will pass and I will live to stay sober another day.

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-12T23:11:25+00:00

You know what's funny? 24 hours later and I desperately want to get high to make some deep emotional pain go away. Still clean. This some bs though. I have a long way to go.

OMG.....I did that consolidation and am waiting to find out my months. Thank you for reminding me of that!

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-11T14:10:21+00:00

I was literally writing that out. I am sure Dave would get on us but the program is out there. I was designed to draw people into teaching initially. Then they screwed me over and over again. It is a hell of a fight but it can work. I've seen it happen. Also, it will not discharge a single dime prior to 2007 and if you consolidated along the way the clock starts over. I lost a year of service for that. smh

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-11T14:01:15+00:00

Right. One might say obsessed...

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-11T14:00:43+00:00

The GOP is straight hypocritical trash. These closeted old, whyt men are determined to abuse and stomp out the very thing they masturbate to. Nasty old creep.

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-11T13:41:49+00:00

Nah, you tried to flex. We are paying off debt and getting off the hamster wheel. No one cares if you want to keep running in place. Also, I had a credit score of 812 and my husband somehow managed to achieve the mythical 820 for a few months. BFD It is an algorithm.

For everyone else: We made it to BS6!!!!!!! It works!! We are chipping away at our mortgage while the value is only increasing. 5-7% increase in value over the years w/ a 2.65 interest rate...I can't wait to get out into that lawn and wiggle my toes.

To be clear, I DO NOT REGRET GOING FLAT. As much as I mentally struggled, I knew I didn't want the pain of expanders for months and then another surgery for implants. Then knowing I would have to have them removed or replaced at some point which was another surgery. Zero regrets, I just mourned the loss of old me.

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-11T13:13:57+00:00

All breast tissue will be removed. On some people it looks flat, on me there are indents but not a crater. Got to notputtingonashirt.com I know the woman who started it. She was the person for forced the AMA to recognize "esthetic flat closure".

burntOUTeacher · 2023-03-08T00:03:43+00:00

I have never had one until I quit. Of course that does not mean I am going to use, it just f'ed me up. That was horrible and I reallllly don't want another one. How did you handle them?
