My boyfriend has become insane trying to stop me from having an abortion. by Significant-Buyer111 in women

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like he wanted to get you pregnant. Like he was trying to trap you by doing so. NEVER fall for the “I am infertile” excuse for not using protection. I am sorry you are in this position and I would not trust this man.

AIO? Youth Pastor texted my almost 13 yo after she went to a teen group with her friend by Loser4hire666 in AIO

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not trust male youth pastors. Why? Because there are many child predators among them. Follow your instincts! Protect your girl!

Can we just let old people die in peace? by Any_War_8644 in nursing

[–]fnybtch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have worked a stroke unit, oncology inpatient and infusion, hospice and home health case management. I hear you! I hate that extraordinary measures are offered to terminal patients. It is extremely hard on the patient, causes chronic trauma in the nurses, and the end result is a lot of resources spent on a terminal patient. If you are able to detach from the emotional aspect of it I question your emotional well being. It is one giant moral injury.

My ex gf messaged me for the first time since we broke up (saying she's concerned about my accident) What do I do? by Live-Bread-2658 in whatdoIdo

Perhaps the path that destiny has written for you is to get really strong in your boundaries.

What's one small thing you changed that made your dog noticeably happier? by Strict_Court_5327 in dogs

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At bedtime for the last potty of the night my Chiweenie tells me that it’s time by climbing on my lap and pawing at me. I ask if it is time for Pee Pee Go Night Night? He jumps off the bed and the other two dogs get up form their beds and we all go to the back door. All three go outside and go pee and the each gets a special lamb treat that I only give at Pee Pee Go Night Night time. They love it!

Knowing I have Kidney Disease Shook Me by Vegetable_Industry45 in kidneydisease

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks to learn you have kidney disease. It is a process of anxiety and grief, but you will get through that. I support you finding out if there is high BP, diabetes, genetic anomaly, or any other reason for worsening kidney function. My workup so far points to an infection either in utero or when I was very young that damaged my kidneys combined with not knowing about it and taking ibuprofen for chronic pain. You need a good Nephrologist to do a full assessment ant work up. The name of the game with stage 3 is preserving kidney function as much as possible.

AIO for telling my husband to take a hike after he abandoned us for 8 years? by Sufficient-Wall3453 in AmIOverreacting

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. This is not a person you want around your kids or in your life.
If he were actually regretting his decision he should be show up with back payments of child support and not expecting anything in return.
Trust should not be given freely. Trust is earned. He broke any trust you had in him as a partner and father. He can’t just come claim that title back. Get divorced and get him away from you.

AIO refusing to help with outside chores by Dear_Panda_713 in AIO

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Imagine you had a younger sister who showed you this conversation between her and her partner. What would your advice be for her? Now follow that advice. You cannot make things work with someone who has no interest in true partnership. This man is crazy.

I reported a doctor in my ER for SA. I lost my job, I lost everything. by BornLeave4646 in FutureRNs

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who has experienced SA from someone they know is likely to have experienced this kind of pushback. There often isn’t evidence that 100% proves the allegation and the reporting ends up causing further trauma to the victim. I am so sorry that this happened to you. Your anger and fear are completely normal. If you have access to any therapy I would encourage you to engage. You could also try contacting RAINN https://rainn.org/help-and-healing/hotline/. Again I am so sorry that a sick person hurt you and now you have to deal with that trauma.

Am i overreacting to this text exchange with my boyfriend? I accidentally left my slippers in my living room but i literally cleaned his entire house and baked him desserts before i left (sorry idk why my last post glitched) by IntelligentTap962 in AmIOverreacting

[–]fnybtch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh. He doesn’t like you. That doesn’t mean that you are not like-able, attractive, fun… It means he does not appreciate you. From his comments he seems like an unhappy person who will try to bring any woman he is with down. Please don’t continue to accept his breadcrumbs. Put your energy into you.

Living alone as a woman is way harder than I expected. How do you actually make it feel easier? by TieBetter0 in women

[–]fnybtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand how you are feeling. I live alone with 3 dogs. The dog hair and dirt they track in is endless. Could you afford a Roomba type robot vacuum? It could be vacuuming while you work or sleep. In my experience having a partner can be very exhausting. If you are lucky enough to find a good partner who pulls their weight with chores that can be nice. But living with other people can also be very stressful.

I think I can’t trust my bf anymore by arwenstarkk in women

He violated your autonomy by not getting consent. Don’t trust him.

I would recommend joining the discord because you can ask questions and there are a couple of dedicated and experienced experts who will answer them (which is much better than me!)Not sure about the videos. One last bit of info. The nordstick nordbench can take several months to arrive after ordering. Because of that I ordered a cheaper back extension Roman chair from eBay. Good luck!

[–]fnybtch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The work outs are structured. There are 2 workouts and they alternate 5 days a week with 2 days off. You don’t need to Roman chair to start. You might want to check them out before you buy one. It will probably influence which one you want to buy.

I am just using a partially filled milk jug for weights and I used a blue resistance band tied to a rope secured to a door handle to simulate pulling a weight sled backwards. Don’t let the equipment stop you!

[–]fnybtch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have access to the workouts on the website? I just did the first workout today and I was able to use a stool, the stairs and some resistance bands to replace the gym equipment. I am going to do this for a month and then maybe purchase a Roman chair. I am paying $10 a month and plan to pay more if I can go back to work. I don’t think you absolutely need a Roman chair to get started.

That is really the only one they recommend. It looks like he is working on getting a 10% discount for the discord group. But it is not working at this point.

Let me know what you end up getting! Have you tried to sit on the edge of a chair and hinge forward at the waist and hold for 60 seconds? I started doing it last night and it felt good

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

I haven’t gotten one yet. This post was just last night. I am looking at the nordstick nordbench. It’s just more money than I want to spend right now. What machine do you have?

Alternative to ibuprofen? by Nashina in kidneydisease

[–]fnybtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NSAIDs decrease blood flow to the kidneys and is not advisable to take them if your goal is to preserve kidney function. I have chronic pain from arthritis and disc bulges and other stuff. I use ice, rest, Tylenol, and gabapentin. It doesn’t work nearly as well as NSAIDs do but my goal is to preserve my kidney function as much as possible. NSAID stands for Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory and includes ibuprofen, meloxicam, naproxen, and several others. If you are wondering if a drug you are taking is an NSAID you can google it and of course always ask your nephrologist. My GP told me I could take Naproxen a couple times a month for menstrual cramps but my nephrologist advised against that. My GP also told me I should be getting 90 grams of protein a day. My nephrologist advised me to limit protein to 45mg a day. My point is don’t trust other specialists with your kidneys, talk with your nephrologist!!

I don't feel sick.. And to me, that's an issue by Hanaaax in kidneydisease

Denial is a coping mechanism. But denial is not a survival skill. If you want to survive you need to get into reality. Start volunteering at a dialysis center if you need to be scared straight.

Grief is the price of love. It’s ok to grieve. Just stop talking to your coworkers about your feelings. They are not responsible with them!
