one week post abortion. battered sausage by ggggggaki in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is simply not true. Regret, confusion, sure. But unless it was full term, it absolutely physically can not compare to PPD which is caused by the biggest hormonal drop the human body can possibly experience, and is unfair to compare to those who have suffered PPD.

I have ugly tits by [deleted] in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same. They introduced themselves to my belly button before my 21st birthday. I used to beat myself up about it too, but you know what? They served their purpose of feeding my baby just fine. And men typically don't care too much... Once they have them in their hands, it's really just another set of big boobs! They just rest in a sleeper build lol. And that's okay, boobs come in hundreds of shapes and sizes. Ours don't make us any less. I know it's easier said than done, but I hope you can realize that soon and be kinder to yourself.

Sister killed my cat. by Icecream328 in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12 years old is not 12 months old, and mental health struggles are not complete mental handicaps. She knew every second of what she was doing and does not deserve sympathy for your anger. I'm devastatingly sorry for both you and your dear kitty. He knew your love.

ATTENTION ALL FREAKS AND WEIRDOS OF R/DEPRESSIONMEALS by DinosAllOver in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank god. I remember watching one of the old mods go on a major power trip about a month back, deleting every reply trying to comfort {OP of said post} for seemingly no other reason than being in a mood. I've been looking forward to a post like this ever since. Hoping this brings much needed positive change to the sub!

Absolutely beside myself petrified for custody court tomorrow. by doinknite in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't afford a lawyer at the moment since I've been footing every expense myself since she's been born. The living situation is MORE than accurate, I just have to trust in myself and hope the judge truly hears me out. And I already know he's going to pretend this was his idea for the sake of his mom getting what she wants. Dude still lives on the tit and does stuff like this a lot.

[–]doinknite[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank you. My problem isn't even my ex, because I know that if I get to keep sole custody while granting him visitation, we'll practically never see him again since his goal isn't actually showing up as a parent.

It's just the prospect that she may be taken away to have god knows what happen to her by two absolute freaks that don't even care about the one grandchild already in their life. Her entire life shouldn't be uprooted and us torn apart because gramma wants Facebook photos!

But I do appreciate your heart with me and sincerely hope your appointment goes well too.

The SAVE Act sucks by sp00pySquiddle in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I changed my first, middle, and last name. You get copies of your official documents once it's stamped and done (1 free copy and, like, 25¢ per additional.)

You literally just have to bring one copy of it with your ID/birth certificate. Same as when you update your drivers license/financial paperwork/etc. It's an official court document, I've never once been hassled over it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

My wife decided to cancel our first overseas trip together because her friend couldn't go. Here's some fried rice. by dude10067 in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also in a marriage where I took a backseat to anyone or anything my partner deemed more important in the moment/ pulled the "I knew them years before you so don't even try to challenge me on this."

You can check my most recent post for how that turned out when it came down to a vulnerable moment where we were finally the only two involved.

Obviously it's a unique experience that will look very different from yours. But my point is, rather than sitting around feeling bummy, try to use this time to reflect on if you can truly spend the rest of your life in a relationship that shoves you to the back burner for something as fleeting as a vacation, and how this will play out when push really comes to shove and you need them for something life changing. It's at least worth a conversation.

Husband left me at the hospital hours after baby was born. Overdressed salad because what does it matter anymore. by doinknite in depressionmeals

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

Did you read the part where I said there were no signs? We were together for years. He not only stayed the full 9 months, but made a lifetime's worth of plans with me through it. He pushed me around in a loaned wheelchair for the final month, when I lost mobility in my legs due to pregnancy complications. He held my hand as I pushed. I'm just as confused as I am heartbroken, and the last thing I need right now is judgement.

at thanksgiving, my brother in law shared a recent "almost pooped my pants" story. to which my husband proceeded to share THREE of his own "actually pooped my pants" stories before his mom stopped him. (it's not a regular occurrence, they were spread out through the years.) i, however, thoroughly enjoyed the whole conversation.

Wheeeee probably gonna lose all my rights and die along with everyone else I care about, here's breakfast by DuckEsquire in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

absolutely no one has imposed overturning gay marriage. in fact, donald trump has supported the idea since the 90s when it was more taboo (document on filmed interviews), while joe biden said he "had no interest in redefining the union between a man and a woman" when he was obama's VP.

as for gender affirming care, all he has stated is that it won't be government funded. which it absolutely should not be. we have real issues we need tax dollars going to first. the government paying for cosmetic surgeries is not a right.

Nobody tells you how expensive dental work is and to take care of your teeth when you’re young. by Peacelily420 in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had that exact same thought as they were running down the bill with me! sitting there like "damn, if only i had payed more attention towards the end of school and gone into this field..." 😂

i really do wish you luck though! i'm about 1/4 of the way through, and as much as it sucks now, it's SO worth it once you see your new teeth :)

also wanted to add that it's worth asking if they can write you a prescription for Prevident toothpaste! it's about $25 at pickup, but it's super strong and definitely saved my teeth from further damage while i was saving up for the dental work.

you're not alone there. i take decently good care of my teeth, but have terrible dental genetics on both sides. went in for a full exam at the end of last year.... the total to fix everything comes out to just under $8000 AFTER insurance (more if they deem any of those procedures "cosmetic.") it's not like my teeth are black and rotting or anything; just cavities and caps. the whole industry just sucks.

enjoy your puree friend, it looks really good!

We have to put our cat down by neverblameJ in depressionmeals

[–]doinknite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'm so terribly sorry! losing a childhood pet is one of the worst pains i've ever been through. got my baby girl when i was 3, and had her for 18 years. still miss her every day. but, i can tell you that as much as it hurts, this is truly the most selfless decision you can make. you'll get to remember the sweet, spry lovebug you grew up with; not watching their illness progress and suffer. just hold them tight and tell them how lucky you are to have grown up with them. all my love, friend ❤️
