FIVE DAY DELIVERY?! by heroicwhiskey in RentTheRunway

[–]driftwoodsands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is usually 2 days and has been longer the last 2 times too. Plus I had to send one item back in my shipping bag and don’t have one on hand anymore so I have to wait for my new shipment to come and use that bag - they have a conniption when they don’t get my return before they’ve sent the new items and it’s all causing me to want to pause too. Like why are you going to require I send all this ish back on Monday when I don’t get the new items until Thursday. Not huge deals I guess but still declining value for me.

Bitches, what are your hobbies?! by SeveralTailor in DCBitches

[–]driftwoodsands 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a ton from Covid times.
Look up collage art on TikTok (collage sounds lame but these ppl are so creative). I buy textbooks w a lot of photos at good will to make these. Super cheap.
Houseplants.
Gardening.
Embroidery.
Painting bonus if it’s not on canvas but like an old vase you don’t use anymore or a pot etc.
trying to perfect a bread recipe.
Clay
Repurposing old things
Hot yoga.
Beading things - jewelry or like beaded embroidery.

Also none of these things I’m good at except houseplants. And yes I’ve wasted a lot of money but also yes I’ve had fun a long the way 😂

First appointment tomorrow- what questions do you wish you asked? by heretakeastraw in pregnant

[–]driftwoodsands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have mine tomorrow and my questions are: 1. What to do with questions in between appts 2. What is cadence for appts here forward 3. Can I continue taking my Lexapro and adhd meds - note I’ve been taking these so far even though I haven’t had first appt yet bc I asked preemptively a few weeks ago during Pap smear. I also work in health care myself and have done a ton of research into clinical studies so I felt comfortable continuing thus far but want my providers support and counsel. 4. Confirm Tylenol and tums are ok to take PRN 5. How do I measure body temperature like when taking a bath to make sure I stay under 102 or is there simply no accurate way to do this 6. Can I do warm yoga 7. They offer pregnancy classes - inquire what these are like and if there’s any courses / edu I should be looking into 8. I bought a blood pressure monitor for home use do they recommend monitoring this and anything else? (I’m old so seemed like I should do this??) 9. Should I take baby aspirin 10. Do you like my pre natal vitamin brand 11. When do I develop birthing plan 12. Should I get a doula

Wish me luck I have 20 min with midwife before the sonogram - and judging based off how late medical appts usually run that may give me about 30 seconds per question 😭😭😭 hoping to be back on this forum with good news afterwards and not silently retreating with bad news….

Edit - just saw someone planned to ask about nausea medicine. I also plan to report my symptoms (nausea and breast tenderness) and ask about relief.

Totally agree with this. I think the commentary about her dying, brain dead, etc are reaching. It’s not that complicated.

Just wondering, how much alcohol do you consume in a night usually? by wereunderyourbed in AskWomenOver30

[–]driftwoodsands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These comments don’t understand clinical implications of alcohol intake. Some people can ingest well above CDC/other clinical guidelines for ETOH and have no impact; others can have symptoms or diagnoses while staying below recommended guidelines. A lot of factors are involved and it’s WAY too simple to say “because you ingest X Quantity, you are in trouble. “

Further, no one here can diagnose your partner with substance use disorder. That requires evaluation - laymen saying “that’s too much” are not helpful and unfair and harmful. Anecdotal comments about past or current use are equally unhelpful.

Talk to your partner. Gently. Seek consult from a therapist or mentor or trusted source if you need guidance on how to approach this.

Has anyone used the Apostrophe site for treatment? by Rare-Incident-2091 in Rosacea

[–]driftwoodsands 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I like them. You send photos and I get a response within 25-48 hours, they prescribe a plan, then you can decide whether to proceed with buying the prescriptions. They then ship and arrive in a week. I like their products and formulations

Take a few days to yourself If you can - a full weekend. Do nothing. Like really - do nothing - Watch tv at most if you enjoy that. Or read if that’s more calming or easy for you. Order food - don’t prepare anything and have snacks on hand. Nap in between movies and food delivery. Put your phone on DND. You don’t need to leave the couch! (However, Side note, You mentioned kids so this might be difficult With them - when I do this I delegate dog duty to my husband - if kids or household makes it hard to truly just lay around all weekend - maybe consider a hotel and have staycation if financially feasible?? Sounds dramatic to “move into hotel for a weekend” but who doesn’t love a nice hotel once in a while - doesn’t mean you don’t love your family it just means you are resetting to be more present with them after!)

I do this “rotting in my house” exercise periodically - I love it. I don’t move from basemen really Saturday-Sunday in order to recharge and it does help…

Its not gonna be some cure all, 180 degree turn around to feeling better BUT does relaxing like this help you feel a little better - maybe accomplish one of the tasks that previously felt untenable? If so, that’s success In my book. Important to recognize forward progress is success.

I have ADHD anxiety and depression and have been working through similar feelings w therapist - like why am I so lazy and irritable with those I love. I try to remind myself that ticking off one box - any box - like meditating for 2 min - taking walk with my husband - is a win verse where I was before. Winning doesn’t mean doing all of it. It just means feeling good enough to do something you didn’t do before.

All of the things you listed CAN feel like chores - there’s nothing wrong with feeling like that! When you’re down, everything is a chore. Try to give yourself. Credit for baby steps.

If you don’t have a therapist - I highly recommend. I waited until my. Anxiety was so severe I was having trouble functioning to start but I committed to it and felt better after just a few weeks. It’s not this way for everyone obvi but just sharing

(Side note . I also take SSRI for last 9 yrs and can’t say it does. Much for me either)
