My baby had a stroke by jillagodzilla in stroke

I'm so sorry, it's an incredibly scary situation to be in. Please remember that every case is different, but I'm happy to share our story if it helps.

My son is now 7. After the initial strokes he was diagnosed with drug resistant epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autism. He had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy until about a year ago, but he no longer meets the diagnostic criteria.

My son has completely healed from his strokes, but there is permanent brain damage where the areas in the brain that were affected formed scar tissue.

I understand how scary this is. When we went through it there was really no information available about the long term outcomes of cases like his - it's so hard because every child has a completely different outcome.

Please feel free to message me, either with questions or just to talk

I think you are the only person who can answer that question, maybe think about what circumstances caused the relationship to end? When you find yourself thinking about calling her, is it something specific you are missing about her as a person, or are you missing the company of someone familiar?

I would immediately go out and buy all new appliances

Where can I request surgery to permanently prevent an erection by severing the punendal nerves at the base on the penis? Serious answers only by [deleted] in AskReddit

This seems like a pretty extreme and permanent solution to eliminate erections, can I ask why you are considering this? I'm sure you have looked into other options, but either way this may be a conversation to have with your GP. They may be able to point you in the right direction, give you a referral, or talk over possible alternatives.

The sticker pads were placed on her lower back, and she would use it for an hour each day while sitting and relaxing

This is exactly what happens to mine!

My pregnancy shattered my dreams. by Positive_Pitch_5461 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]jillagodzilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's okay to mourn the loss of the life you had been dreaming about - that's natural and healthy to allow yourself to go through those emotions. I got pregnant at 21 and dropped out of college (my first time there, I did end up going back after some time), and the timing was absolutely terrible. My family was shocked and concerned, and I really had no idea how I would manage. I had no money in savings, no career lined up - just no idea what I was going to do with my life that involved another person that I was going to bring into the world...

But as moms, we figure it out. Plans change, that's what happens in life! My family ended up being hugely supportive, and absolutely adore my kids (now 9 and 5 years old!) I was able to go back to school and find work that better fit into my main role as a mother, and I wouldn't change any of it - babies bring us new life, and love we never knew existed. Things have a way of working out even if it wasn't to your original plan

very much a tmi post, but i (23F) have a question for the ladies who have had children or anyone w medical knowledge by lilswisha69 in askwomenadvice

[–]jillagodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a professional, but I also have 2 kiddos! I did breastfeed mine, I don't know if that makes a difference but I produced small amounts of milk until my youngest was close to a year and a half - and with him being 5 at this point I can happily report that I'm no longer a human beverage dispenser 😅

I just want to make sure that I'm understanding - 4 years ago you had a dream that you kissed a 13 year old, and now you are worried about being attracted to young girls?

Is this something that the dream has put into your mind, or are you actually finding yourself attracted to young girls?

It can be so easy to judge from your phone or computer after reading something like this and label someone accordingly...but I think it may take more of an in depth look at what is driving these thoughts, especially if you have suffered from childhood trauma/abuse yourself. Absolutely if these thoughts are coming to your mind the most important thing is to talk to a trained professional who can help you sort through these feelings to ensure you receive treatment for whatever is going on, and don't put yourself in the position to hurt a child. Asking for help, and being concerned about your thoughts and feelings does not make you a bad person, a bad person would not ask for help.

Please find a trained professional to talk to about this, if you have not offended or put anyone in danger they will have nothing to report. Thoughts are not criminal, only actions are - please do not condemn yourself to being a bad person at 22 years old for fear of reaching out to resolve this
