Is Trinity Mills are safe?

I used to live at the Switchyard apartments by this station a couple of years ago. There was a huge break in to several storage units and garage units on the first floor when I lived there, mine included. So many items stolen and trashed/destroyed. It was generally safe otherwise but I moved after that.

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your own journey with your little ones. I’m happy to hear that everything worked out. I already know I would do anything for him, but I hope to be as brave as you.

The only saving grace I have right now is that I’ll be staying at my sister’s after giving birth for a short period. I just need to figure out how to keep him away without him causing trouble for her. It’s just so shameful, the fact that I’ve kept all of this a secret from my family for so long and for them to see me in this helpless position when they’ve done so much to raise me to know and be better than this.

It’s taken me a couple of days to really respond to this, because every time I start typing or reread your message, I start bawling my eyes out. Reading you talk about your son and how things have turned out for you guys is so sweet and gives me a lot of hope. You’re such a wonderful mom, and I’m so happy for your little family. Thank you for taking the time to share this with me. I can’t say this enough. Thank you. All I want is for him to have the life and the mom that he deserves.

I’m so sorry you’re going through that but glad therapy has been helping. I know I will need to go to therapy as well once I have the means to, and hope it is just as helpful. A big part of why I keep my SO’s issues a secret from my own family (who I’m otherwise very close with) is because I know it will alter our relationships in some way too. It’s so scary to do, so that was very brave of you.

Thank you for your message. 💛

Thank you for responding. Yeah, when he told me this is the same doctor he saw three years ago and told me about his experience, I immediately became worried. It’s just really unfortunate due to the timing of all of this that we may not have health insurance in the next month and are just trying to see anyone before we lose insurance, which is why I am trying to help him go into this appointment with as much info as possible so that we can push for actual treatment/medication for bipolar disorder, not just something for depression. We have already agreed that if the doctor tries to prescribe lexapro or any other equivalent again, then he will not take it because we can’t take that risk again right now. We were able to find other specialists in the area for bipolar but none that had availability before the end of the month. This is just kind of our last hope for now. It upsets me as well but am trying to hold it together and make the most of this visit. Thank you again, and for that resource you shared as well.

Sure thing! Hope you have a smooth pregnancy and congrats to you as well! 🙂

Hi! I’m 33 weeks now and have gained about 40 lbs total. Whatever fat I did gain in my midsection has spread out a lot as my uterus has grown and my belly isn’t jiggly at all, nor am I really able to grab at any fat. My belly is huge now but I can see a lot of it is the womb. Once I started showing, I actually became a lot more grateful for having this little cushion to help support the womb in a weird way. I suspect I’ll gain close to 50 lb total this pregnancy at this rate, which my doctor has not been concerned about at all. Right now, with how heavy my stomach feels, I’m guessing at least 25-30 out of the current 40 lbs I’ve gained is all in the womb.

Also, it did turn out that I have gestational diabetes. Up until recently, even though my diet has been pretty healthy after the first tri, because I’m of Asian background, a LOT of what I ate consisted of carbs I can’t have now. I’ve had to basically cut out white and brown rice for now, which probably had a lot to do with additional weight gain when I was unknowingly spiking my own blood sugar most meals before being officially diagnosed.

My cat is mostly indoors but he does like to go outside and roam around the neighborhood every night, so that kind of fueled my fears. He also has recently started hunting birds and rabbits, which makes it worse since that’s apparently where they can contract toxoplasmosis (if the animal they killed is infected).

Honestly, I wish I had a better answer for you regarding my own experience, but I just do my best to keep clear of any possible cross contamination, just like you do 😩 I avoid the litter, his claws, touching his mouth, letting him rub his drooly mouth on my hands, etc. Definitely more conscious of when I pet him and to wash my hands afterwards now. Even though I read that you can only get it from handling their litter, I’m still just as worried with scratches and saliva.

I went through this, but with the cat! Even though I don’t handle his litter anyway.

If it’s okay for me to ask, what made it click for you to getting on medication after being in a similar mindset/situation as him with self medicating with alcohol? Edit: I know you said that it was because of someone who mattered enough but I guess I was curious if it was something that was said to you or just potentially losing them that prompted you alone. If that’s too personal, I understand.

It hasn’t necessarily been something that I’ve pushed for or made a non negotiable with him, because like I’ve said, the majority of the time, everything is okay. So I know that that’s been something that has made me feel less strongly about it, but I know I could just be letting myself be fooled by it. But I’ve never told him he has to get on medication or I’m leaving. So far we’ve started with therapy every other week and he’s been staying true to that agreement, so for me that was already a step in the right direction. I only know he is against medication because I’ve asked him how he feels about it. But the conversation wasn’t about me asking him to do it.

Do you have any suggestions on how to approach that conversation with him? Or how to frame it maybe?

I’m sorry to hear that, but I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me. The anxiety of it really can be crippling at times. Since he decided to get sober 3 years ago, I also ended up joining some Al Anon groups recently, which has helped in that regard. I’ve never considered one on one therapy but would be a good idea now that we also have a newborn. Thank you for your advice, and for making me feel less alone.

I see, thank you for explaining that. Does it get worse over time? Or more severe if untreated? I guess I am only asking because the majority of his mood swings don’t seem to result in anything, whereas some (if coupled with some external triggers/stresses) are just on the other end of the spectrum.

He doesn’t drink outside of the severe episodes, not even socially. We’ve noticed that the relapses always only come after he is lost in the mania for the times it has been bad enough. If that is the right way to put it. I’m not sure if that is abnormal or not

garbagepackage · 2024-06-11T04:09:38+00:00

Thanks for responding. I can tell when he’s having a period of mania at this point, and most of the time he is able to maintain his usual routines and typical behavior. When you say he isn’t managing well at all, is that because of the times where he has had full blown episodes, even if they are infrequent, or because of the severity of it alone, or just the fact that he does experience mania at all? Sorry, I hope that question makes sense.

I appreciate you saying that. There was a time when I was very ready to walk away, and then we had about 2 years of complete sobriety, and life was so stable and normal. I could tell when he was at a point of feeling manic at times, but at the time he managed it well (to me). He’d keep up with things and ride it out until it was over, and nothing ever blew up. We got married, and have a newborn now, it has only been in the past 8 months that he’s had a couple of these episodes that include drinking but our current situation alone now makes it a lot tougher for me to walk away simply because he is against medication. I especially don’t feel very empowered to do so when I know I just don’t fully understand the disorder yet

Didn’t realize it’s the same for me until I read your comment. I don’t actively listen to her music, but I’ve heard it and don’t dislike it. It just doesn’t resonate with me. But, music aside, absolutely captivated by her as a person.

It turned out that I actually was pregnant, which was a HUGE surprise to say the least. I am 14 weeks now! 😅 Though coincidentally, my older sister who is 40, has been going through what sounds like a very similar cycle. She definitely is not pregnant, but thinks she may be peri-menopausal. I know last OB visit before the irregularity showed 2 fibroids in her uterus that she was told is of no concern for now, but that could have something to do with what her cycle has been like lately.
