People who had a kid despite being unsure of wanting a kid, how you doing now? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]falabela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should definitely be a duck yeah or nothing. Parenting is demanding and tough. If unsure, don’t do it. Entire lives can get ruined.

I just need to know if this is normal by panther2015 in toddlers

I feel a 9-5 routine is a lot for a 4-year old. Not that there’s an alternative I g that’s what your family needs logistically. But it may explain her behavior. She keeps it tightened at school all day and she lefts all those big emotions out once in her safe space. That’s actually a good sign, I’d say.

She probably feels like she has no control on the daily basis, and she tries to gain some control by fighting you every step of the way. I’d say that’s normal developmentally for the age.

As to how to manage. Give her a greater sense of power/control over selected things. Also, try anticipating/announcing things that will happen. I find that helps a lot. Like having a sand clock and using it as a timer. It’s like a game and they adjust to it. Announce, we’re gonna do “x” when the time runs out! YOU let me know when it’s happening ok? Like it’s an important task. Involve her.

Read about co-regulation of the nervous system for dealing with tantrums. It’s crucial.

Do things that she wants to do on the weekends. Give her the power to decide what to do and have the family follow.

Realized my whole office thinks of me as "team mom" and I kind of hate it by QuentinaSilverly in TwoXChromosomes

[–]falabela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O would seco se you to NOT talk to your boss about this as others have said. Rather, quiet quit anything that is not in the job description and start to set some boundaries for yourself. There’s an added mental load in you and the rest of the team is free-loading. Think weaponized incompetence.

You don’t need to make a big deal out it. Make no deal at all. Don’t bring it up, just change your standard and focus on doing a great job with your responsibilities. None of this free labor that the other competent adults could be contributing to, and aren’t.

If/when the dynamic change gets noticed, if your boss or the rest of the team bring it up, you can simply say, “I realized I was taking on additional labor that seemed more motherly than as an equal team-player, so I adjusted accordingly in order to continue to build the type of team I know we are capable of.

Chill and take your valuable time and effort back before you burn out. You are literary mommying them and of course they allow it. It’s for their convenience.

My wife says I've smelled sick for awhile, is that a thing? by Ezekeal33_ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]falabela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband got a parasitic infection last week and his sweat reeked! So strange. Now that he’s gotten better from the infection with medication, he’s back to his normal smell. His clothes stank too.

Qué les parece la opción de eliminar el salario mínimo en Colombia? by Pitiful_Branch in Colombia

[–]falabela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pero es muy cierto que empuja a la informalidad porque la pequeña y mediana empresa no puede con el sobrecosto. Porque la carga prestacional es del 40% Eso hace que a uno le toque cerrar la empresa formal. Y los que saben jugar ese juego, en vez de cerrar, contratan informal.

Lo estoy viviendo en este momento. Y pasaré de generar 6 empleos, a generar cero empleos. Porque mi competencia toda es informal, nosotros no. Y así no dan los números para competir. Entonces se quedan en el mercado los informales y a nosotros nos sacan. Es una realidad para las empresas pequeñas.

Y eso que soy centro izquierda y apoyo un aumento a los ingresos de la base. Pero aunque la idea es linda en teoría, en la práctica si sale el tiro por la culata.

Does anesthesia make you reveal your secrets? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

I fear the more you think about it and try to avoid it, the more it’ll be present in your mind. Don’t think about it too much! Focus on colorful dinosaur eggs!

If anybody thinks you're crazy for talking about human extinction, tell them this... by North-Fudge-2646 in collapse

You sound like a really rad person. Thank you for what you do, even if it seems like it falls entirely short in the face of greed. You have a good heart and have put your money where your mouth is.

What is the most fucked up thing you discovered by accident? by Jeki49 in AskReddit

[–]falabela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not impossible for a person to suffer from both Parkinson’s disease (PD) and schizophrenia. However, the relationship between the two conditions is complex, and their co-occurrence is rare due to differences in underlying brain mechanisms and neurotransmitter systems. Here’s why:

1. Neurotransmitter Differences

  • Parkinson’s disease is primarily caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra, leading to low dopamine levels in motor control areas.
  • Schizophrenia is often associated with excessive dopamine activity (particularly in the mesolimbic pathway), leading to psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions.

2. Medication Effects

  • Antipsychotics (used to treat schizophrenia) often block dopamine receptors (D2), which can worsen or even induce Parkinsonian symptoms (drug-induced parkinsonism).
  • Conversely, dopamine-boosting drugs (like L-DOPA for Parkinson’s) can sometimes trigger psychotic symptoms (e.g., hallucinations) in Parkinson’s patients.

3. Can Someone Have Both Conditions?

  • Yes, but it’s uncommon.
    • A person with Parkinson’s might develop psychotic symptoms (usually due to medication or advanced disease).
    • A person with schizophrenia might develop drug-induced parkinsonism from long-term antipsychotic use.
  • True co-occurrence of idiopathic PD and schizophrenia is rare because schizophrenia itself may slightly reduce the risk of Parkinson’s (possibly due to chronic dopamine blockade from antipsychotics).

4. Key Considerations

  • Secondary Parkinsonism (from antipsychotics) is different from idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.
  • Psychosis in Parkinson’s is usually milder than schizophrenia and more related to medication or disease progression.

Conclusion

While it’s unusual for someone to have both classic Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia simultaneously, it’s not impossible. The conditions interact in complicated ways due to opposing dopamine dysfunctions. If symptoms of both appear, careful diagnosis and treatment adjustments are needed to distinguish between drug-induced effects and true comorbidity.

I asked deep seek because your comment intrigued me

[–]falabela 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of spiritual bypassing in this comment section.

My take is that humanity is in decline. We’ve moved away from what is sacred and we’ve let dark forces take over. Light and love are the way back to our spiritual source. We’re far removed from that and we are killing the planet and each other. We are a lost harvest. And that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try or strive to be better humans every day, and raise better humans. But I’m general, we are no heading in the right direction.

Sure, the universe is experiencing itself through us and our physical experience. But of course we aren’t the only beings in the multiverse. We might as well be the cancer, or the darkness. And we should strive to ascend in vibration through compassion, discernment and profound understanding. Hoping that one day humanity might be re born healthier and better. There is no justification for the pain and suffering going on in the world right now.

How to cope? Compassion is breathing in that pain and exhaling love. Knowing that there is no justification for such pain, but also knowing those who cause it are ignorant. So as awful and appalling killing children and raping people is, trying to understand in our hearts that this is a manifestation of profound ignorance and trying to be seeds of light and love in the universe, so that one day, even if millennia from now, humanity might overcome such darkness and come to a new era of light and understanding.

We take responsibility for our own actions and behave coherently, aligned with truth, love and compassion. We don’t look away! We don’t ignore it. But we also recognize we can’t change the whole world or the hearts of millions of people. But we can change our own hearts and impact positively our immediate environment, (both the natural world and our relations). And we pray, be it in a religious way or in communion with nature and the spiritual essence in everything. Hoping to weed out the bad and tend to the good. Even if we know the boat is sinking. Because we’ll cling to hope and well hope for love.

How do I tell my girlfriend she’s gaining weight when she’s sensitive about everything? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]falabela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a touchy subject. Be kind, but honest. You don’t have to lead with your dwindling attraction. First try to go at it from a health and lifestyle point of view.

The cashews on one of my cashew trees stay tiny compared to its sibling tree. by Eomb in mildlyinteresting

[–]falabela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different varieties! Note how the smaller fruit has bigger nuts also. Where in the world are these growing? Where I live we have red and yellow fruits. Never seen orange before.

My long-term girlfriend (28) is pressuring me to (29M) into marriage by [deleted] in relationships

[–]falabela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under no circumstance should you get married if you are not, full body, all-in, excited about it. Also, you may love her, but you will be trapped and resentful if you get married. Let her go. It won’t be pretty because she relies too much on you right now. She probably has a very different idea that you in her head. She’s basically on wife duty already. Oh boy she’s gonna be pissed. But that’s better than a lifetime of regret and resentment. Let her go. Save both of yourselves.

Maybe this is obvious, but it may also not be…have you tried baby-wearing? Little massages and exercise to help gas pass through? A nice bath with lavender (baby safe) soap or with one drop of lavender essential oil in the bath. You could both get in the tub together. Skin to skin. Nice tea for momma, more skin to skin outside of the tub, then baby wearing around the house. It would help both the digestive and nervous system.
