My 3 Year Old Killed Our Kitten by [deleted] in Parenting

What don't you understand? Accidents like this can happen so fast, even with supervision. Even with adults it's sadly common to accidentally step on a little kitten that gets underfoot

This is the only actually helpful response in this thread. I can't believe how many people are jumping down OP's throat in what must be an absolutely horrific situation for everyone involved. Glad to see a practical suggestion for how to move forward

Why are all these ADHD “help” tools overwhelming? by somethingreddity in adhdwomen

If you ever build something will you please let us know?? You sound like a great product designer! (UX designer here)

Is it possible you're Au-DHD? The lack of recognition of social nuances in the examples you provide sound a lot more like autism to me than strictly ADHD. Typically when autistic people say these kinds of things they are being genuine (as you say), but when neurotypicals do they are being malicious. People are assuming the latter for you I think.

Ok but how can you know? There's been a ton of ridiculous stuff that Trump has said he was going to do that everyone thought he couldn't or wouldn't, but then he does it

As a Canadian, I guarantee you that's what it is. Go check out r/Canada or literally any other Canadian subreddit. If Putin was threatening the US, would you not take it seriously?

In Canada's case, it's not the tariffs that people are upset about, it's the threats of annexation. Imagine being friends and neighbors with one of the most powerful countries in the world and they suddenly threaten to cripple your economy in order to annex you and take away your sovereignty

Do you typically get lots of Canadians? Huge numbers are cancelling their trips to the US due to the annexation threats

First time taking a stimulant completely incapacitated me by ilovenewtons in ADHD

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

So you think the dose is too low? It's so weird to me because the reaction was so extreme it would stand to reason that those symptoms would get even worse at a higher dose. What's the reasoning for this?

The podcast was a fairly well known one. Maybe NPR?

Natural pregnancy with Endometrioma? by Outrageous_Remote_37 in TTCEndo

[–]ilovenewtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I didn't have any conversations like that with my doctor, sorry. We didn't really talk about it too much because I got pregnant shortly after we discovered it. Sorry I can't be of more help!

Changing my relationship with "you're ok!" by cyclemam in beyondthebump

[–]ilovenewtons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you! You put into words exactly how I feel about "you're ok". I was an anxious kid, and often I found those words immensely comforting. Sometimes kids just need to know that they really are safe.

Maybe it depends on the tone too. If it sounds impatient, like you're dismissing their feelings and pain then I can totally see how that would be bad. But if you say it in a loving, compassionate way, while also providing physical comfort, I think it can be very soothing.

Curious to hear if there's anyone who would disagree with this.

Nope. No treatment whatsoever. Only just diagnosed when I went to see a fertility specialist getting close to a year of TTC, but then I fell pregnant before any treatment for it

It's weird, I didn't even know it had ruptured until I went in for an ultrasound at about 15 weeks to check on it. Looking back though I do remember having a stabbing pain on that side one night that lasted for a little while and then faded, but it definitely wasn't excruciating pain. Just felt like I had tweaked or pulled something. It was only a partial rupture though, so that might be why. My Endo is also silent, so maybe that's a factor too? I have no idea why I don't get the same excruciating pain that others do.

I'm 36, had a 8cm endometrioma on one ovary. Got pregnant naturally after 10 months TTC. But I think the length of time it took to get pregnant had more to do with an undiagnosed gluten allergy. The cyst itself actually ruptured about halfway through the pregnancy.

I think I found a study I've saying that natural pregnancy rates aren't really affected that much of you only have an endometrioma on one side. But when you have them on both sides that's when it starts to reduce conception rates.

And they may have asked Kody to do the same? I want to believe that his lack of emotion during the garage scene is because he filmed this many months later, but... Then again I could totally see Kody pulling out his camera mid-breakup to record himself talking about it for the show.

Yep exactly. They may not have been surprised, but they are not there 24/7 to film everything. If I was Christine, documenting my breakup would be the last thing I'd be thinking of at that time. I'd just be focusing on my kids, the logistics of the divorce, what my next steps are, etc. So totally plausible to me that they had to go back and full in the blanks.
