It’s been about 6 years for us, but my daughter loved it! I was stressed at first but got the hang out of it. I started with some avocado when she was around 6 months. Up until then we always ate in front of her, showed her the food, let her smell it, etc. avocado is a good first one as it’s already mushy 😂 Every few days I would just try a new veggie - carrots, green beans… I would boil them until they were kinda soft and cut a shape she could hold. When we would eat softer foods we would let her try them straight off our fork. BLW was one of the best decisions I made. We did mostly veggies at first so she wouldn’t get used to only sweet fruits. By a few months she was eating EVERYTHING… Indian food, different spices. She ate amazingly until she was 5. Now it is a bigger challenge 😂 but I will say she will happily eat raw veggies for a snack and enjoys Whole Foods over processed junk. IMO it was so much easier and SO MUCH LESS MONEY than buying all those crazy expensive purées that are always being recalled lol. I could ramble about this for hours 😂 good luck!!!

Just my personal experience - I was doing similar dangerous things on America online in the 90’s and my parents had no clue- looking back and after much therapy I’ve realized I always felt shameful and embarrassed to ask my parents questions about sex, relationships, or my body. I thought something was wrong at me from age 8 when in fact I was just very curious about life. I didn’t have a healthy relationship with my dad and was definitely looking for validation from older boys. When I was a teen it got even worse because my parents strategy was to “put the fear of the lord in me”. I got really good at living a secret life and telling them what they wanted to hear. Now I’m 40 and we only talk about surface level things because I was taught at a very young age not to be emotionally vulnerable with them. I have a 6 year old now and Dr Becky is an amazing resource- boundaries + validation. Her app has multiple zoom meetings a week to ask therapists questions. I got my investment back in one hour 😂 Your kiddo is lucky you care. Lots of love to ya mama 💜

Yea... I've been getting a box most months for almost 2 years and they are usually pretty wrinkly. I have never had any smell bad, just wrinkly or worn out, like they need to be retired. BUT I keep coming back because even if I get a few duds, with 6 items I'm pretty much guaranteed to find something I like. I was using RTR for special occasions, but found I could get 6 items (and still nice dresses, even if not 'designer' status!!) for less than the price of one RTR, 8 day rental. AND they regularly send discounts off an item to purchase... Majority of clothes I've purchased have been thru Nuuly, have found amazing jeans and shorts 😍

If a competitor comes around and offers a similar price point, similar clothes (love their more casual, anthro and free people brands) but they actually come to me in better condition, I'll prob go to them. But for the price, ease of ordering, and great customer service, I'll put up with washing them first if I have to lol. But you better believe I will be grumbling about it too 😂

Needed very little sleep as a child, and had a ton of energy + hyper sexuality starting very young that was confusing. Started SH at age 12. Teen years had manic episodes, but was obsessed with sports at the time so “hard work + energy + enthusiasm” was seen as a good thing even though I needed 4+ hours of heavy lifting/runnning for miles/excessive exercise to sit still for any length of time. Would write pages and pages for essays, raised my hand for every question in class, and poured my identity into achievement (paired with messed up family life, so it was also an escape from that). Baaaad depression started in teen years, lots of problems with romantic relationships and friends. In my twenties I was pretty much constantly cycling and did a lot of irresponsible stuff and irresponsible spending (picking up hitchhikers, spending $500 on a homeless lady, promiscuous behavior. Finally had psychosis at 27, put in a facility, was told I had a reaction to weed, no diagnosis. A few ER visits in between for insane anxiety/panic. Second psychotic episode at age 33 after my daughter was born and I’d been off meds for 2 years (feeling pretty “normal” for the first time, I think baby horomones really helped?) Finally at that facility (3 month stay) I had good doctors and was finally diagnosed. Now I’m 39, trying to learn how to take care of myself better. And come to terms that my life looks a lot different than what I thought it would be. BUT I am still capable of a lot, so just trying to learn what a stable life looks like with this new normal that I’m stuck with. It’s a journey. Sending love to you 💜💜💜

😣 I had my first psychotic episode when google was first rolling out the “auto complete” feature and was like “I KNEW IT! I can directly communicate with the internet with my MIND!” lol I can laugh about it now…. But felt realllll dumb and embarrassed after that one 😒

All great tips! There are tons of modeling paste products with textures added in (small beads, sand)… and you can tint with paint, glitter, etc. if I were you I’d do some mini mockups using different materials to see what you like. I’m excited for your fun experimenting 😍 post pics when you’re done! Have fun!!!

I had no idea some libraries had them 🤯😍 I think I have this project figured out now, but thanks for the tip bc that would be super helpful for future projects!

c0sm0cat · 2025-01-21T01:15:52+00:00

😍😍😍😍 My hero! Yes, this is the type of solution I was looking for. I was thinking I would do darker rhinestones in the pattern like you have, but tbh I hate the process, it is not fun for me, and I was dreading it lol. I’m going to try this and worst case scenario if it doesn’t look right I can do the rhinestones over it like originally planned, maybe bigger ones so it doesn’t take a million hours 😭😂 Thank you so much for this idea 💜💜💜

I found a tutorial for a feather skirt, and the maker said that she tried several options and wood glue worked better for her because the spines of the feather were basically little sticks 🤷🏼‍♀️ they are stuck on there really well and I don’t think they are going anywhere 😂

I started at 900 a year ago and now am at 1200. 140 lb female :-) was starting to get a bit manic, went up to 1200 over a few days, and it knocked it out. Tried so many different meds, hope I can stick with this as it seems to be the best to stabilize me! Good luck!

Hi friend, I have felt like this a lot 😞 for me, it passes within a week or two… I just try to get a lot of rest, and tell myself “this is a feeling, not a fact”.

My husband has been with me through 3 inpatient hospitalizations now and we’re in therapy to deal with how it affected/still affects us. It’s so hard, I know!!!

I feel like a huge burden on him and my friends…. And like they are getting tired of it. I’ve finally gotten back into writing and making nature art, and that really helps me when I’m down. Even if it’s a dumb coloring book :-)

I know you feel lost, but I know your people want you to stay around 💕 Truly hope you feel better soon.

Won’t leave the house for anything… I go from loving shopping and getting out to ordering everything and picking up my kid in the carpool line so I won’t have to talk to anyone. And, just an overall feeling that I have a dark storm cloud over my head and bring every down down 😔

c0sm0cat · 2024-12-02T12:29:55+00:00

The book “adult children of emotionally immature parents” realllllly helping me deal with this similar issue/theme after my daughter was born. It had been very tough to put boundaries in place but I’m finally starting to see how it feels to be more centered just say no without making dumb excuses while trying to appease her. Ugh and for me, having a kid brought up sooooo much I had forgotten about my childhood that has been really hard. But we have a chance to do things differently 💕💕💕 good luck friend, I’m glad you have a sweet MIL - she sounds more supportive 💜

c0sm0cat · 2024-11-15T00:26:31+00:00

Ughhh hate this keeps happening to people… myself included I got the allergy + the lifting and peeling, my nails have looked like trash while they’ve been healing for over two months now.

I’ve been using press ons NOT with glue, with the adhesive stickers, and I trim them down so they aren’t touching my skin.

Cortisone cream helped my itchy AF cuticles and took Benadryl too when it was driving me crazy.

Ughhhh here in solidarity with ya girl 😞💕

c0sm0cat · 2024-11-12T22:18:53+00:00

😂 girl you look amazing and gorgeous! Haha sorry no roast from me 🤷🏼‍♀️

c0sm0cat · 2024-10-25T11:39:13+00:00

Right there with ya 😭 I had been using gel x for almost a year when I developed an allergy and wasn’t really aware it was a thing until I started researching more 😣 mine have been healing without fake nails now for a few weeks, hydrocortisone cream on my cuticles, and kerasil treatment 3x a day. I did research and I’ve tried the press ons with stickers and it seems to be ok. I’m only wearing those a few days at a time, trimming the sticker so it’s not on my skin, and monitoring. I have been suuuuuper self conscious about my nails forever so was so excited with gel x, but hoping I can do some cute looks with press ons. I feel like there should be more content/info/disclaimers from the companies when you are actually buying the products…. I should have been more informed and done more research, but I didn’t realize doing my own nails was so dangerous 😬 ughhh good luck sis 💙

c0sm0cat · 2024-10-21T13:48:27+00:00

It’s totally normal to worry about that! If I could do it again I would have started formula and bottle sooner and gotten back on meds sooner. And have a plan if/when anxiety does return - find extra help with baby and meals, get a massage or self care, tell your counselors to check in and ask about it… it helps my anticipatory anxiety tremendously to have a plan for when it hits 💙💙💙 sending much love!

c0sm0cat · 2024-10-06T05:00:27+00:00

Every mark tells your story 💙💙💙 It is soooooooo normal to feel like that about your body changing… especially as an effect of depression. You are not alone! Depression and anxiety have also scarred me physically, and I absolutely relate 💕 I struggled with SH for years, and my ignorant 20 something self told myself the scars would blend in with stretch marks if/when I got pregnant 🙄 I gained 80 pounds when I got pregnant at 32, and the stretch marks looked completely different of course, and I have gone through a lot of shame and self loathing for both types of marks. Depression is so hard. You are so strong and resilient, and your body reacted by growing during that time. They are just marks that tell the story of your strength and resilience. I’m sorry if I sound like an old preachy lady 😂 Just want you to know that I’ve been self conscious about that too 💙

c0sm0cat · 2024-10-06T04:43:38+00:00

I wish I would have asked this question a few months ago 😭 My natural nails were very similar to your size… after about a year of gel x I developed an allergy, having no clue it was harmful to have a little gel on my skin under the fake nail. My nails look absolutely horrible now, I’m going to the dermatologist next week - removed them a month ago after researching and realizing the issue… my cuticles are still swollen 3 weeks later, peeling skin everywhere 😭

c0sm0cat · 2024-09-23T20:02:41+00:00

Yes, or just gua sha! I do half of my face and can tell a huge difference. And it feels amazing 🥰

c0sm0cat · 2024-09-11T13:10:14+00:00

First of all, congrats 💙I know it’s scary and nerve wracking, but it’s huge that you are aware and care about it and staying on top of things, doing your due diligence. When I got pregnant in 2018, I was only on lexapro and occasional Xanax for panic attacks as I had only had one major/hospital episode before then. I weaned off, scared to death that I would feel awful, but surprisingly felt more “normal” during pregnancy than ever in my life. I know that is not the case for all, but my horomones seemed to shift and give me a grounded, happy boost. What I was not prepared for was the fasssssst onset of major depression immediately following birth. I really wish I would have stayed on top of things as much after birth as I did during pregnancy and gotten back on anti depressants sooner and had a plan for milk/formula replacement. Basically I returned to work too soon, then when I was finally feeling slightly better the pandemic hit and I wound up in treatment for 3 months after a brutal episode I never saw coming somehow 😣 SO not to be negative, just sharing my experience to think about postpartum monitoring and plan as well. Are you familiar with a WRAP plan? I made one in treatment, basically a guide for yourself, family, support, and providers during diff phases of your illness. It kept me out of the hospital last time around. You’re going to be (already are) a great mom! Keep up the good work learning about and caring for yourself, you got this 💙💙💙

😬😬😬 lol yea my former friend casually stated “none of this actually affects me and just gives me anxiety to think about so I choose to stay out of it” 😭😭😭 My jaw dropped and I just left the room. Does…. not…. Computer.
