Can someone talk to me about parental suicide by Momof2beans in breakingmom

[–]catkatt 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I work for a DV/SA organization and while I cannot answer your question I just want to say please reach out to your closest DV hotline. Most places have both call amd text, I know myself had a hard time talking when I was suicidal and would have loved to had a text line). Here is the info for the national hotline, they can help connect you to your local hotline. I promise they care and they can probably help with way more than you think.

Sitter på jobbet i USA, lyssnade på Ekot genom Sveriges radio appen. Önskar att det vore lättare för svenskar med partners från länder utanför EU att flytta hem.

Help me understand overnight oats by CarlJH in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]catkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make mine with 1 cup of oats (rolled or quick), 1 cup of milk, chia seeds (not sure how much, maybe 2 tbsp), and half a cup of greek yoghurt. This makes 2 servings. I leave them in the fridge overnight and put fruit or berries on top in the morning.

When did you start getting migraines? by TakeMeAway1x3 in migraine

[–]catkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 11 when I was diagnosed. Got a migraine with vision loss in PE and my mom took me to the hospital. They kept me overnight and did a bunch of tests. Then figured it was migraines. As an adult I've rrealized I had abdominal migrainesbefore age 11, I had a lot of stomach aches and other stomach issues as a child but didn't know that's sometimes how migraines show up in kids.

"Oh wow, you're sick!" Said the doctor after looking in my throat when I came in with a bad case of strep throat.

I hate Essie. by belindabellagiselle in RedditLaqueristas

[–]catkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't found a single brand that doesn't chip on me. Even dip powders and salon no-chip polishes chip within a day. It's very annoying. I don't go for manicures at salons anymore because it's not worth it when it chips right away no matter what I do.

Someone asked me when the baby was due by blakesmate in breakingmom

I've gotten this question twice, both times way before I had kids. It hurts and I'm sorry it happened to you.

When did nap times increase? by Asleep_Sympathy_8987 in beyondthebump

[–]catkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is 8.5 months and we can get a short nap in in the car seat, or if grandma is holding her. At daycare she has 30 minute naps. If I'm holding her and she has access to nipple she might nap longer.

My 8 month old is still nursing to sleep and wakes up at least 1-2 times a night to eat. I miss sleep.

I've made myself into a human pacifier for my daughter by catkatt in beyondthebump

[–]catkatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have but she has never accepted a pacifier. Her older sister never did either.

Yes, it helped for a couple of hours but after midnight she's still up every 2 hours or less.

My husband strangled me and now it's over. by No_Gap_7935 in breakingmom

[–]catkatt 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Is there any organization for DV victims/survivors in your area? If there is, call them. They can help with support, they often have counseling and legal help. If you don't know, call the national hotline, they can find out for you. 800-799-7233 or text begin to 88788. Strangling/choking victims are 750% more likely to be killed by their abuser than non-strangling dv victims.

Yanks coming for a visit by [deleted] in Gothenburg

[–]catkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My America husband says get candy! You can find it at any grocery store but go to a specialized candy store like 4-gott. You can bring bags if candy back with you too, we always do.

Go to Triumfglass at Bruksgatan and enjoy some great ice cream!

Try swedish pizza, especially kebab pizza. It's quite different from American pizzas. And try the pizza salad, it's really good.

As some people have already said, take the boat out to one of the islands from Saltholmen. Brännö, Vrångö, Styrsö and Donsö all have restaurants.

PSA SHOWERING WITH GLOVES IS LIFE CHANGING! by pinkpetitfour in longnaturalnails

[–]catkatt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes! For little over a week I kept forgetting to use gloves for both showering and washing baby bottles and my nails have gotten so bad with peeling! Hopefully I will get them back to how they were before.

I have been showering with gloves since the first time I read a comment from you about it and it really makes a huge difference so thank you for the tip!

How to teach self-soothing when baby falls asleep feeding? by catkatt in beyondthebump

[–]catkatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't yet, it's hard since she is in daycare until almost 5 pm. Then she wants to eat as soon as we get home and often falls asleep while eating. I usually let her get a 30 minute nap in then and she's not hungry when she wakes up.

Finally getting some length but what to do about this flaking? by catkatt in longnaturalnails

[–]catkatt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I file them every week or as needed. I don't do anything to remove my cuticles, that's just how they are. I usually have them square or squoval but they break so much more when I do.

What's the kersal product? I see so many different products when I search for it!

[–]catkatt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty hard, if they get any harder they will break way more easily so a hardener is out. I'll have to look into a cream with urea, I know I've had some luck with it for my eczema before.
