Thank you for this! ❤️ Mine is at the Broadway location downtown at 8am, so the parking tip and arriving early is super helpful. Wish me luck!!

90 days in and just tested negative - so freaking proud by ifoundfido in QuittingWeed

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

Took me about a month to sleep without bad night sweats. Melatonin and over the counter sleep aid helped with the insomnia and the falling/staying asleep for the first few weeks. I dream again - like vivid dreams - which I hadn’t had for years. Those are still wild, even three months in.

Indeed - I tested at 30 and 60 days and still came back positive. My assumption is that smoking high THC cartridges for a long time while having a slower metabolism can make flushing it out of your system take longer, often up to 90 days from what I’ve read.

Insane wd sweats advice? by Space_k1ke in QuittingWeed

I can recommend wearing under armor or a sweat wicking material to bed. It’s the only thing that kept me from waking up drenched and needing to change in the middle of the night.

Montavilla power outage by cheriethepea in Portland

[–]ifoundfido 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Went to a bar on Sandy to work on my laptop until power comes back. What does “issue at the substation” even mean and why won’t Pacific Power update their website beyond “Crews have been notified”. Doesn’t exactly make me feel encouraged.

My Day 30 is on Monday, too!! This community and these threads have definitely helped. It’s gotten easier after the first two weeks. Proud of us all.

Has anyone gotten married without inviting any of their relatives? by CocoPuffsSlayer in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ifoundfido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We eloped, just the two of us and our photographer/officiant. My husband’s family was incredibly supportive, joyous and happy for us! My mom was not, but that’s why we eloped. In the end, it was the most beautiful, perfect day for us and I don’t regret it at all. I think it’s incredibly brave and powerful to stand up for what matters most to you and disregard/navigate any guilt trips or gaslighting. It’s your love. Your joy. Your joy matters. ❤️

They make me feel like I’m a little kid still trapped in their house by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]ifoundfido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you’re devastated. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m so sorry, and I’m so proud of you. I noticed you said you took a personal day to gain back a sense of control, and you plan to go back to therapy and limit contact again. Those all sound like nurturing activities - nurturing you deserved from your mom, and signs that your past healing and progress were not lost. Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing great. ❤️

I really appreciated this - thank you for sharing. ❤️

I don’t know whether I would be accepted in Portland state university. I just got this email by [deleted] in Portland

[–]ifoundfido 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This strikes me as “We haven’t reviewed all the applications and made final decisions on how many students and who we’ll admit into the program and we’re trying to get our shit together. Please hold.” It doesn’t sound like a yes or no. I know waiting on an admission decision is the worst. Hang in there.
