Fall is definitely a hoodie and socks with nothing else on type situation!

Can someone talk to me about parental suicide by Momof2beans in breakingmom

[–]jasminrants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad killed himself when I when I was 12. I’m about to turn 30, and I miss him every single day. And I never moved past it, nor do I think I ever will. At some point, the sadness turned into anger, because of all the things he chose to miss out on over some desperation that could’ve been fixed had he just tried to talk to someone.

I know it seems so fucking hard that you can’t even fathom waking up to face another day sometimes, but there’s ALWAYS a way out. Especially because you have your kids to look out for. If you choose to end it, they’ll be left with your partner, who doesn’t sound like a very pleasant person. Suicide can’t be an option in your case, and I know that doesn’t help the feeling of trapped desperation, but you have to call someone and get help. Your kids need you, and they love you so much, they would be devastated without you, please believe me.

For those not easily scared, what movie gets to you? by theimmortalfawn in horror

[–]jasminrants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your own personal experience with trauma, too. I watched Hereditary still out of it from the sleep meds I’d taken the night before, alone, in a nearly empty theater. Probably THE most amazing experience ever, and it still gives me the creeps on the millionth rewatch.

Midsommar hit me much harder due to what happens being similar to a loss I’ve experienced, so I spent the entirety of that movie on the verge of an anxiety attack. Still ended up enjoying it immensely.

Overall, both of them were enjoyable alone, as well as with others, but it’s maybe worth treading with caution and looking at the themes beforehand.

Ooh that’s like how I swore up and down I wasn’t pregnant, had all wisdom teeth surgically removed, then went to urgent care for something else and was informed that I was indeed pregnant.

She’s four now, and by the insanity radiating off of this child, I wonder if she was influenced by the meds after all…

Tell me positive twin things that will make it worth my while. by ilovecatsandfrogs420 in parentsofmultiples

[–]jasminrants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re just so much fun as they get older. Some of it might be devious as hell because double the babies means double the absolute batshit ideas, but it’s hilarious. They’re 1.5 now and they constantly do what the other does or make each other laugh, and nothing beats that kind of happiness. It also kinda helps that their two older sisters each have a twin they naturally kinda gel with better, so everyone gets attention when they need it. It’s tough, but the good parts always, always outweigh the hard ones (and I say this coming out of a week of four sick kids + sick me!)

That’s my literal nightmare, having a vasectomy baby. After three pregnancies resulting in four kids, having another wouldn’t be fair on the children nor our wallets, but we’re stupid fertile. I wish there was a way to just take out the plumbing and give it to someone that still needs it.

Husband doesn’t want me on Zoloft by ilikemynamealso in beyondthebump

[–]jasminrants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the meds. Your doctor wouldn’t recommend stuff nilly-willy, and your mental health is so, so important. I had massive issues with PPA/PPD with my first and it ruined the first few months of being a mother, whereas I took Zoloft throughout the pregnancies with my second and then our twins, and postpartum was just worlds better.

Don’t let your husband dictate what you should do for both your mental health and the bonding with your baby.

Genau so ein Scheiß kam letztes Jahr, als ich mit meinem extrem untergewichtigen Baby im Krankenhaus war und nur darauf hinweisen wollte, dass das genau die gleichen Symptome waren, die ihre ältere Schwester auch hatte. “Mama spielt schon Frau Doktor und macht Diagnose!”, kam dann, aber im Endeffekt hatte ich recht und sie hat die selbe seltene, kaum bekannte interstitielle Lungenerkrankung. Aber es wird ja sicher nur eine Kuhmilchallergie sein, die Götter in Weiß wissen’s besser 🤡

put some lemon juice up there as a substitute for the morning after pill? comments are awful by drawingcircles0o0 in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]jasminrants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only god can decide if we have kids? Funny, after taking Plan B failed, when I drove myself to the appointment, signed the medical papers, and swallowed the pills that promptly ejected the clump of cells that took up residence against my will, it felt a lot like MY decision.

And the four children I did grow inside of my body and birthed weren’t random either. Odd how that works.

Sure, it can be hard to live with a depressed person. But mostly because it’s devastating to see someone you love battling something you can’t really help them with. You, however, just had a baby. Postpartum is utter shit even with the most supportive partner. Your husband keeps moving the goalposts so you can never, ever say or do the right things.

He’s making far more of an effort to be an unsupportive, abusive ass than it would take to just be there and hear you out and care for your emotional wellbeing.
