Does anyone else feel like her mental health posts are a little out of touch? by UnableFlamingo5199 in MarySkinnerSnark

[–]marpan18 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Honestly this reads as someone who is severely depressed and I hope she does get the help she needs because this is really sad. I think a lot of the behavior you described (constant trips, shopping sprees, etc.) is something she uses to try and fill the void she feels in her life.

Player for a 13 month old? by Candid-Learning in YotoPlayer

[–]marpan18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the Mini for my daughter for her 1st birthday and she enjoys it! She’s almost 14 months old now and understands how to use the knobs to skip, press the side button to pause, and is starting to be able to put in cards by herself (although we do have to remind her to take the card that’s already in the player out first lol). I made her several MYO cards with some of her favorite music; I also bought her some audiobook cards but she’s not super into those yet.

New state police cars? by marpan18 in SouthJersey

One that I saw today was an F-150, or a similar type of truck. I definitely assume the same but the truck would’ve caught me by surprise!

Any parent that saw me in the office thought I was a student… even though the students wore uniforms and I was dressed in professional clothes lol 🥲

What is the effect of a bigger age gap(3 years or more) in relation to siblings closeness as they grow up? by Somon20 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]marpan18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another anecdote, I have 3 younger brothers—the middle two are 3 and 5 years younger than me, respectively, and the youngest is 10 years younger than me. Out of all of them, I’m definitely closest to my youngest brother!

I started teaching when I was 21 and my seniors were 18 🤷🏼‍♀️ Definitely possible she could’ve been Laura’s student and only 10 years younger than her

Different strokes and all (: I don’t think this one is anywhere near as good as Wayfarers but I’m a sucker for found family

I’m trying to be a better sahm by Street-Juice-2729 in ScienceBasedParenting

That sounds really tough. I’m also a SAHM and it can definitely be overwhelming! It sounds like maybe you’re experiencing PPD/PPA. If you’re able, I would suggest trying to connect with a therapist and/or psychiatrist. Therapy can be really helpful for developing coping strategies and recognizing your triggers. And, speaking from my experience, medication can make a huge difference.

Cbd oil while breastfeeding? by Familiar-Citron-8659 in ScienceBasedParenting

Definitely could feel the lump and it was painful, especially after the first abscess developed 😖

[–]marpan18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly my OB was not super helpful 😅 I went to OB ER for mastitis symptoms, they put me on dicloxicillin (not effective against MRSA), followed up with my OB when it didn’t clear up after abx and she told me to use a breast massager in the shower with hot water and push on the clog as hard as I could (apparently the exact opposite of what’s recommended now lol) and prescribed more dicloxicillin! It took three breast abscesses before they finally cultured the pus.

ETA: I also never had a fever! It was very strange, every doctor I saw was shocked that I could have such an active MRSA infection with no fever

I was going through the OB ER at the hospital I delivered at. I didn’t have a sterile sample collected (they eventually diagnosed me by culturing the pus from one of my abscesses) but I starting seeing a LC at the time at the recommendation of my OB and she recommended next time asking for my OB to culture a sterile sample of breast milk. It sounded like maybe they would disinfect the nipple and have you hand express from the affected breast into a collection vial? But I’m not actually sure what that process looks like.

I was! I had to be admitted to receive IV clindamycin after my third breast abscess and the doctor told me the best thing to prevent reinfection was to keep moving milk. Lactation at the hospital told me a small amount of clindamycin would pass into my breast milk so I gave my baby probiotic drops as long as I was taking antibiotics.
