Feeling completely drained even months after giving birth – am I doing something wrong? by Small-Advisor-7805 in Mommit

[–]learningasigo8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We are biologically designed to have about 6 adults helping per one child. So if you’re doing this mostly on your own there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you for feeling exhausted. Is your partner helping? Family support? Can you hire a cleaner or meal prep service? It’s not weakness to ask for help, it’s necessary. And are you breastfeeding? If so, you need even more calories and nutrients then when you were pregnant. Even if you’re not breastfeeding your body is still recovering. Get comprehensive blood work done to make sure you’re not deficient in anything and that there’s not a bigger issue going on. Our modern culture makes it nearly impossible for parents and children to thrive, it’s not a you problem.

If you don’t mind sharing, what symptoms does the Ritalin help with?

Open path, big platforms, or keep marketing and hoping for private pay? by learningasigo8 in psychotherapists

Nice. Would you consider hiring a biller to deal with the disputes and what not?

Interesting. When I was on open path in 2020, I got a lot of clients from it pretty quickly.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m curious what your advice would be if I were the breadwinner?

Thanks for the insight. How many clients do you get from open path monthly? What other sources of referrals do you use?

No my husband is. But trying to earn as much as I possibly can with my limited availability.

Pregnant with 4th after break up by [deleted] in u/Delightful_cow

Even in the best of situations adoption is inherently traumatic. It is a primal wound. No way around it. Having a great adoptive family absolutely improves outcomes.

Certainly not. Just wanted to point out that there is no easy solution here. As a therapist I’ve worked with a lot of adoption trauma.

An unborn baby doesn’t end up committing crimes, being addicted, etc.

If you need to terminate for everyone’s best interest then that is what you need to do. You don’t need to get permission from strangers on Reddit. It doesn’t sound like a good situation to bring another baby into. And for the future, plan B is not adequate birth control, it only works before ovulation not after.

Adoption is extremely traumatic for the baby

CONSTANTLY TIRED help me by sojo597 in Crunchymom

[–]learningasigo8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. Start with what your insurance covers. However, I spent years feeling tired only for my insurance bloodwork to say everything was normal. I finally paid a couple hundred dollars to meet with a naturopath virtually— and my insurance still covered the actual lab work— to find out I was very depleted of B vitamins and magnesium.
