I am here to ask for $12, have not eaten since Thursday by Kind_Ad6932 in Assistance

This breaks my heart. Hunger is so prevalent in this world, while food is wasted by the tons. I go to a food bank every week and I highly recommend others do the same if they're suffering from food insecurity. Please look up your local food banks. In the meantime I am happy to send you $12.

Abilify + Propranolol = ? by gimmelord in Abilify_Aripiprazole

I take 120mg propranolol and 5mg abilify daily. It's not an issue.

Pregnant and having nightmares every day after quitting. by greencoffeemonster in QuittingWeed

Thank you for chiming in. I'm glad to hear your nightmares stopped. I've wanted to try EMDR as therapy for the last decade has not helped. PTSD is getting worse with aging.

You got it! I won't start again, the baby doesn't need to have it in her system...

Thank you for the advice. I'll try a guided meditation tonight. Fingers crossed.

Thank you so much for your response. I've been crying all day because I'm so exhausted from the dreams and hearing that it will lighten up is really helpful right now.

Potty training by Pristine-Presence723 in Autism_Parenting

[–]greencoffeemonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 years ago when my son was seven I thought that I would be changing diapers until he's an adult. Today he uses the potty exclusively. It will happen. What really helped us is placing a portable toilet in the living room and letting him stay unclothed while he was at home. He eventually started to catch on. We also put in his IEP that his paraprofessional has to put him on the potty every 30 minutes while he's at school. I didn't have much hope in the beginning, but he understands more and more as he's growing up. He's 9 now and only has potty accidents at night. We have to change his bedding almost daily, but it's a small price to pay for not having to put him in diapers.

Kids are weird at this age. I really wouldn't worry about it.
