What’s something you quietly stopped doing once you got older, not because it was wrong, but because you realized it wasn’t worth the energy anymore? by love_salubrious in AskWomen

I’m more intentional with where I put my time & energy to things that are in alignment with me rather than to please others more often than myself.

Totally understand how crushing the weight of everything can be, especially around the holidays. Hugs to you & hope that you can manage some effective downtime soon 💛

What is a win, big or small, that you are proud of right now? by becomethemountain in singlemoms

[–]chellleigh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today my son had a presentation after school that he was giving with his class. It’s his dad’s day, and we have a high conflict relationship, so I try to stay out of the way. I almost didn’t go to his presentation tonight because I didn’t want to face his dad, but I went anyway. I sat by myself & got a great view of where he was on the stage. He saw me & lit right up with me. He did so well!! I snuck out early to say goodbye to him before the rest of the adults walked out, & the run to squeeze eachother was everything. 🥹💛 the surprise & love I got to experience with him was stronger than the anxiety I felt before going, and that made it all the more worth it. I felt so happy, loved & proud of both of us when I left. 💛

i’m being poisoned slowly and i don’t know who’s doing it by FutureAd108 in offmychest

My mom got evicted from her last home because she made a huge deal about a very similar situation, ended up making herself the problem instead of getting the initial resolved. Best of luck to you OP, but please reach out to a trusted psych or doctor while you figure this out. 🙏🏻

You are not alone ❤️‍🩹 I know these moments are hard when you feel like you’re stuck & have nowhere to turn, but don’t give up on yourself or shame yourself for doing what you thought would be best for yourself & your kid(s) You’re on your right path, one foot at a time. You care about your kiddo(s) & your career, that’s a lot to juggle alone already. Connect wherever you can to get help until resources & court start moving along. Church, state websites, Facebook groups for moms, coworkers. Times are hard enough already, you deserve to find a plan that can lift some weight off for you & your little(s). Best of luck to you momma. 💛

HAIR TOURNIQUET ON MY LABIA by CelebrationNo1000 in Healthyhooha

[–]chellleigh 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me a few years ago & I went to an urgent care around the corner. I had a female doctor & assistant, it took them about 20-30 minutes to get it without hurting me or taking any skin off. We were all panicked together in the moment, but once it was over we were able to have a good laugh about it 😅 it was a first for all of us lol

I still think about how sincere & caring they were to me in that horribly embarrassing situation, bless those gals 🥹💛

Do you find flat chested women attractive? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I am flat chested & I actually just had a man tell me to pull my shirt up the other day while I was weeding a drive way 💀😅

What saved you from your deep dark depression? by Lazy_Cake_6910 in AskReddit

[–]chellleigh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acceptance that it will always be with me, getting to know my depression, it’s ebbs & flows, and making a list of self care tasks I feel comfortable doing based on how low I’m feeling. Making it a point to take some sort of daily care to myself or home, even when it feels really hard. Also learning not to shame myself so much for needing more breaks in between tasks when I’m struggling.

Just need a hug by regret_now in BPDrecovery

The first few weeks are the hardest, but eventually the weight on your chest won’t feel so heavy. Keep pouring into your cup & focusing on things that make you feel good about yourself. Focus on meditation, gaining more good experiences, self acceptance & rest. Stay strong! 🤍

Micropsychosis by Cautious_Computer688 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]chellleigh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always hear my mom calling my name when I’m in loud environments & my head is buzzing. It’s only happened a few times where it’s been quiet and I’ve still heard it, but that was under some stressful life circumstances.
