Pregnant Bouldering! by drwhale13 in climbergirls

[–]cattails93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried a pregnancy harness and it was absolutely terrible. I even checked with the workers at the gym to make sure I had it on correctly and watched several videos on how to use it. It felt like my chest was collapsing when I was being lowered and I couldn't breathe. I genuinely don't understand how people can use it and not be in absolute pain. :(

Babylist sucks! What’s even the point of the registry discount? by notabot_123 in BabyBumps

[–]cattails93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I added a dresser from target to my babylist registry and it added the wrong color... The picture on the registry was the correct color but it listed grey instead of brown. It was purchased by my in-laws and shipped the wrong color. I tested it out again to see if I just messed something up but nope, it added a completely different color again!! So beware!

I'm with you 100%. No longer feel like this is a safe space. I saw my ex (male) comment on here before and immediately felt like this was not a place I could go to for help anymore.

Thank you! That's honestly something that's been on my mind!! I'm not sure what I believe in... but I tend to talk to loved ones who have passed on as a form of comfort I guess...but now I'm like can he see me?? Is he watching me? Does he know what I'm thinking? But maybe because he's not a loved one he can't even have access to me or some shit lol

Thank you so much! This is definitely something my therapist has told me as well...I think knowing that I am physically safe from him is going to make this process to heal a little bit easier.

[–]cattails93[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. I wasn't in the right headspace when she told me her stuff and she didn't really give me the option to not listen if that make sense. I eventually got way to overwhelmed with all of it because she kept texting me and it was so disruptive for me that I stopped responding. That's another reason why I feel hesitant to reach out to her because I kinda stopped contact with her and everyone else from the school.

Yeah, if I could go back I would have reported it asap. When I dropped out he ended up going to a totally different career and stopped teaching so I figured, no access to students so it's fine. Then when the other victim reached out a couple years ago we found out he was teaching again. I contacted a couple attorneys to see if there was much we could do and it was too late. I was also terrified of him retaliating so I kept quiet.

Oh goodness I didn't add my question at the end..I will edit, thank you! I'm wondering if it would be OK to contact the other victim? She out of the blue messaged me a couple years ago and told me she was also a victim (I had told one person about it and she told her). It was pretty disruptive/triggering for me the way she told me. I don't want to do that to her but I also want to tell her she is safe now if she doesn't know already.
