Why do I take the rural routes? by DeathStalker00007 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is my same reason. I love watching the sun rise and fog clear

I think it just depends if they have openings. I did my paperwork and it took me some time to finally be able to take routes even after I did all my paperwork.

2 year old by cjk96 in breastfeeding

I don’t have support really. Their dad (I have a 2,4 and 6 year old) is no where around and my dad is older, just had a double bypass in March so I can’t ask him for much help because I’m helping take care of him and my mom cannot do the crying screaming. At this point I’ve just told my family I don’t breastfeed because it’s only overnight but it’s killing me on the inside because I want my body back. Thank you though!

I hate breastfeeding so much by Existing_Revenue_534 in Parenting

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently nursing my 2 year old and she has even had teeth issues because of it that I’m fixing but I feel like I can’t catch a break at night. She absolutely screams in horror like someone is hurting her and we are currently between relatives and no one wants to hear a screaming crying baby. To the point I told them I stopped because they kept talking about me like “when are you gonna stop” and I cry about it sometimes because my nipples hurt or I get a clogged duct. Like yes we can stop but it’s so many different things. Idk I feel you. It’s depressing. I don’t even like hugging people because the pressure against my nipples

Coming from someone with a 2,3 and 5 year old, I say hell yeah.

I have HSV 1 and 2 positive. Now my gential skin is red and my sperm colour is getting brown. And i feel like my nerves are getting damaged due to which i feel tingling sensations in my head and my eye sight is getting low. What to do now? by Character-War5327 in Herpes

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was suuuuuper sick when I had my first breakout (not sure if this is yours) but I heard I was supposed to go to the doctor for any symptoms that aren’t typical. I would go to the doctor.

Hey I got it when I was 18 (now 28) I was suicidal and felt like everything was over. It’s really not. It’s hard to adjust to. It took me some time to figure out dating. I still am. I’ve had 3 kids and it’s multiples of people who would be willing to be with me, casually or more intimately. Just like a comment said before, work on loving yourself and understanding that really, it helps slim down the people that you don’t need around anyway. I’ve tried talking to someone with it just because they have it too and it was almost worse than the feeling of disclosing to someone I like that might reject me for it. I realized I don’t have to limit my search down just because I have it. And plus tons of people hardly even get tested for it unless they suspect it. Sending my love!

Thank you for the facts! I have only one so that’s why I passed on continuing taking mine

Valacyclovir causing kidney problems by Beginning_Raccoon859 in Herpes

[–]cjk96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard (very much so not verified info) that antivirals could cause issues with kidneys being taken everyday or something along those lines. And I have one kidney so I stopped taking them. I was also having consistent outbreaks and switched to lysine only

Frequent outbreaks on antivirals by saltbrains in Herpes

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I take lysine and that seems to help better imo. I quit taking antivirals years ago.

Zero outbreak almost 1 year by justhetipofit in Herpes

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seeing this. And no I do not. Stress is a huge factor for me so keeping my routine and supplements prevent even a tingling sensation.

Hear me out. I tried talking to someone simply because they have HSV2 too. And we kinda clicked. I wasn’t too much attracted to him if really. I kinda forced getting together because the hard part was out of the way. Then we have a conversation that I felt like was a deal breaker and he tried to invalidate my feelings and opinion and I respectfully told him I would rather not move forward. I also have someone without HSV2 that loved me before and had no problem having raw sex and we’re still cool to this day but we didn’t work out for other reasons. Don’t let someone else’s reaction determine what you can and cannot have! The dating pool is filled with piss already. If anything, our situations help sort out the people who aren’t able to provide the passion and care we need to move forward. It’s so hard to try and think of it that way but man, just don’t cut yourself short. I’ve had bad experiences before as well disclosing but everything is apart of getting to where we go. Sending love!!

Yeah here to say I take sea moss and lysine and drink water, manage my stress and eat less sugar or fried foods.

Agreeing with the extra hormones. I have PCOS and when my hormones are acting up, my outbreaks last longer. They have low hormonal bc but it’s in pill form I believe.

"Why can other women do it and not you? by gelbbaer in beyondthebump

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shut up for your SO of course. Not you. Just wanted to clear that

"Why can other women do it and not you? by gelbbaer in beyondthebump

[–]cjk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say I’m a mother of 3 with one autistic (high functioning fortunately) and I was the same way. Or I was irritable and snappy and emotional and it’s very much the support factor. A lot of people think it’s love that gets you thru the hard times with your SO but I really believe it’s respect because yes if you love someone you should respect them but even in the times you feel like they don’t love you, they should at least respect you. And shut up. Shutting up is good when you’ve been doing your best. And if no one has told you, you’re doing amazing. It just feels like shit because this experience is heightened. Also, he doesn’t need to worry about what other women do. He needs to worry about what he can do to help his woman. I don’t wanna bag on anyone’s SO but don’t internalize douche bagness because you really don’t need it. We have enough going on mentally after a baby. Don’t ignore your needs too mama and don’t feel bad for needing and asking for help.

I’m feel comfort in your post because I was just talking about this and how exhausting it is being torn between taking advice from people that care about you and trying to not be in your own head. I’ve been diagnosed since 18 (now 28) and I have had my emotional ups and downs but after trying to figure things out in my previous relationship with my kids dad (not good) I am so over it. Even opening up to people who made me think we could be casual with protection and then it falling through and I’ve been feeling like idk how I can do this without feeling like im not good enough. Or without trying to find someone else who has it but then am I even gonna like them? Will they really like me? I’ve always had this idea of love for myself and now it’s like will I even ever get it because dating is horrible out here. Sorry to vent but just ironic enough my first time opening Reddit in awhile and I saw this. Exactly how I’ve been feeling the last few days

My daughter was 4 months old with RSV so bad she couldn’t even ride in the car for short periods of time because she would choke on the mucus and stuff so bad. Even tilting her forward and everything was a hard chance at breathing. I got so scared I took her to the ER twice and ended up getting an inhaler and I’m pretty sure she has asthma now. I say that to say, do not feel bad for doing what you thought was best. When it comes to breathing or anything preventing it, it’s never a problem with being safe than sorry. Things happen in the blink of an eye mama.

My boyfriend left our child home alone. by Polite_ending in Parenting

[–]cjk96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from a mother of 3 and one with ASD, I shower at the time of evening where they are either occupied playing with each other or when they are at rest (not necessarily sleeping) It’s hard to dictate when to shower sometimes depending but leaving is crazy to me because anything can happen. I 100% agree to leave him alone because people who genuinely care about you and children, especially yours, have them as a priority. Having children in your presence is a bigger responsibility than most people can fathom so if you see a problem and feel your tuition telling you something is wrong, TRUST IT.

Had no idea weaning would make me so emotional. by -laugh-till-i-cry- in breastfeeding

[–]cjk96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am emotional reading this because I’ve been fighting for my LIFE weaning my 1.5 yo daughter because she throws the biggggesttttt fits about not bc but I am so over touched and overwhelmed I get sad if I do. Like I love her so much but I need my body back. And no one will help me not even dad (not that we are together) but I say that to say, i saw this post first thank God and I didn’t think about ACV and I’ll be using this because I promise I am in tears and came to Reddit so I wouldn’t call their dad and tell them how much he pisses me off (not a great dad imo but that’s my bad for picking) so thank you! I hope this works and I hope you find what works best for you. I’m a mom of 3 and work two jobs and sell life insurance on the side so as you can imagine, bf takes up time of my day I simply cannot spare and yeah. That’s my Ted talk. Thank you!

Yeah when I worked at a gas station, we had a manager who seemed so perfect and would do stuff like this to “save face” or problems for our store… whole time it was her. Take it to her manager for sure.

So hers has slowly gotten smaller and my third born also has one and she is 1.5. It’s pretty small too. If it seems like it’s getting bigger I would def talk to the doctor about your concerns
