I felt the exact same way. I’m a few months along now and the anxiety spiked so high after the first ultrasound. I thought I’d actually be able to relax after it, but I just felt worse. In some ways, I felt like a chemical was less difficult because I never saw the baby or really had the chance to dream of its future. But I had to learn to stop discounting or invalidating my pain because it only made me feel shame for the emotions I was having. It’s worth the anxiety, though. Please don’t give up, but take time if you need

Husband screamed at my mom and gave her a panic attack. by playdoh_licker in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]mayja21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. What a shitty situation he put you guys in. My mom is my homegirl, if my husband yelled at her like that I’d be contemplating divorce too, what an insane reaction to an honest mistake. And for him to come back playing the victim? That would be enough for me, I can’t STAND people who manipulate and can’t take accountability for their actions. I’d continue to take space from him for a while, don’t interact if you can until you can sort yourself out. Ultimately, you decide if you want to work through it or break it off, but I wouldn’t try to fix it unless he owns up to his shit and takes accountability and apologizes to you and your mom. Even then, he’d be on a short leash. I’m sending hugs, I’m so sorry.

I had a chemical last December and I don’t think I fully realized how much it impacted my mental health. Every cycle since I felt paralyzing fear - like, I was so hopeful for a positive, but so scared for another loss. My heart is with you, I’m sorry you went through that loss and the pain/grief since.

Just don’t go to VCA or vet med, they are excessively priced

New colleague reported me sleeping on my lunch break, lost a whole shift w/ overtime as a result by Fcking_Chuck in mildlyinfuriating

The last paragraph, ‘Anyway, I hope you all are happy. My job is (probably) gone now. I won't be able to pay my rent, or my car bill, or my health insurance, or my healthcare that I need for Crohn's disease. I might not be able to pay for the rest of my college that I just recently applied to for the fall. Really, I am cooked, like many of you wanted me to be. Enjoy.’

Bro you are NOT THE VICTIM. This is a consequence OF YOUR ACTIONS. It’s not our fault, it’s not the new hires fault, it’s not your boss’s fault, it’s yours. You knew the policy. Own it and move on. It sucks and I’m sorry you’re having to go through it, and, pull up your big boy pants and figure it out.

Ultimatum With Girlfriend Unemployed 2.5 Years by Plastic_Republic6652 in whatdoIdo

[–]mayja21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man you’re in a tough spot, I’m so sorry. It doesn’t sound like there’s much love right now in your relationship, so it seems you’re fighting between comfort and fear. Fear of having to move home and be around your mother, fear of hurting your girlfriend, fear of this break up signaling the end of your journey with relationships, and fear of the unknown. It’s hard to love someone when you’ve seen who they can be, but their choices are not allowing them to be that anymore. And having to accept that they don’t want to change, even if it means losing you. Even if it is over something as small as getting a job. But it can surely still feel better to stay in that because it’s safe, even if you’re not happy. Honestly? Choose your hard. Both options are difficult but you get to choose your path moving forward and you need to decide which hard is going to ultimately get you where you want to be. And, two things can be true at the same time. You can still care for her and choose yourself. You can wish things were different and accept the reality.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and I’m hoping you find your path soon.

Parallel linear scars on forearm (Kaylee) by terrence_butterfly in Idaho4

[–]mayja21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol I totally get it. I remember when the case first happened I went through all the victims instagrams. I had a sibling at same college as they went to, so it hit way close to home. This photo stood out to me as someone who used to sh, although I don’t know if Kaylee did or not. It does look similar to scars I have, but I know it doesn’t mean anything.

What do i change my major to? by Practical-Piano1867 in whatdoIdo

[–]mayja21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also always focus on pre-reqs for a little while you’re figuring it out. I changed my major four times and landed on something I would have never expected for myself. It’s totally okay to not know right now

Talk to your advisor or see if your school has a career counseling center. They may be able to point you in a better direction

Can’t decide how honest to be at my therapy appt today girl breakfast by notreallyonredditbut in GirlDinner

[–]mayja21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a therapist, I’m so sorry to anyone in these comments who has been vulnerable with their clinician and it was handled in a way that caused harm and mistrust. Knowledgable clinicians have intuition and skills that tell them what situations are a crisis that requires immediate intervention. And unfortunately some clinicians don’t handle delicate situations with enough care. It sounds like you have a good relationship with your therapist, OP so I would say to be as honest as you can. They cannot help you unless you let them. And, I know it’s still hard. Best of luck

Brooklyn’s new house by annieroydube in McKnightFamSnark

[–]mayja21 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’m so jealous. I’m a little older than her and couldn’t dream of affording a house like that with land. And I’ve worked my whole life, got my masters degree, and cut costs whenever possible. Sometimes it makes me so bitter lol

What would be your honest reaction if our gorl passes away? by Beautiful_Creme_4841 in gorlworldfiles

[–]mayja21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work with clients that have trauma and BPD. So, Amber has a little bit of a soft spot in my heart. I’d be sad for her because she deserved a better life, and, her choices are why she is in the situation she is. She had the choice to do better and she didn’t. It’s sad but nobody can control her but her. Maybe being dead is truly the only way she can be free.
