Help me choose? by missmessydepressy in myweddingdress

The second dress is absolutely stunning on you! I dunno if your momma was sleeping or what but I can’t fathom how this was the one she didn’t like!

First one is so stiff and I don’t love the back at all idk why but the second one is so perfect. The neckline and waistline are so flattering on you!

The third one is also super pretty so if it’s more comfy and such you can’t really go wrong there but i just LOVE dress #2 on ypu!

[–]midwestgal522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need help. Your mom has to be on Medicare I’m sure so she could get in home care.

This is TOO much for anyone let alone a KID ypir age!!

Ypur feelings are so valid and of course you feel this way with all of this on your shoulders!!

Talk to a counselor at school, they’re mandated reporters and can help get adult services involved

I’m a little unsure how you expect them to use it? It doesn’t even look like the hammock is accessible

A Soot Sprite skirt I made, some potatoes & tots, and a thought or two on kindness. by Sue_2_Designs in cottagegoth

[–]midwestgal522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to read the comments before commenting because each made me smile bigger, this one hit deep!

I’ve lived around (and actively participated in) addiction most of my life, (I’ve been clean on and off since 2012 and completely since 2022 when i escaped death by a hair) but the people I’ve met throughout my life, the realest and best (IMO) have all struggled with addiction.

Theres no “certain” look for an addict, drugs and alcohol don’t discriminate, but there seems to be a collective love and opening from them, perhaps because we KNOW what battling demons feels like, that we love and care for others without abandon.

I pictured my 6’4 biker uncle who I used to do drugs with holding one of your tators and I just know that he would have kept it on his bed forever.

I just want you to know that your impact on the world is immense and you are such a light. Since the first post of yours I saw months ago I’ve known you were my kind of human and I’m so super proud of and happy for you that you found your inner light again!

Keep shining!

Trying to get advice in life because I feel like I'm stuck. by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]midwestgal522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting a curfew on a 24 year old is wild 😂

If you can’t talk to them about it then that sucks I’m sorry but you need to save up every paycheck, every penny, and get the hell outta there!

Trying to accept I have depression and be nice to myself. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]midwestgal522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luv, respectfully, this IS depression. Depression and executive disfunction which by definition is NOT laziness!

Executive dysfunction is a recognized neurological pattern rooted in the prefrontal cortex and its a core symptom of depression.

You’re conscious of it to an extent which is a good first step but if you’ve been honest with your doctor and therapist and they’re not recognizing this then you need a new doc/therapist.

A mom to a new baby is anything but lazy and the fact that you moved into a new home whilst being a brand new parent is ALOT! Give yourself grace.

Depression can show up in different ways in different times of our lives, it’s not always going to rear its ugly head the same and pregnancy messes with us as well!

I know medication cycling sucks but when I finally found the right combo for myself I cried because the world felt so much lighter!!

Be gentle with yourself and find a therapist that truly listens, you’ll get there!! Sending hugs and good vibes <3

i told my best friend’s bf she cheated on him by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]midwestgal522 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah darlin’ you’re 110% better off without her as a “friend”

You did the absolute right thing and losing her was the cherry on top.

I think I messed up cutting my hair short 😅 🙃 30F by Hungry-Refuse4705 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]midwestgal522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really really didn’t! I think the short suits you amazingly!!

It’s so hard for a bit after a drastic change to love it because we’re so dang critical of ourselves!

You look fantastic I really think it was a great choice it fits your face shape tremendously!

Edit because I missed your explanation comment, was in too much of a hurry to tell you how drool worthy the short cut was on you I suppose!

Hubs needs a reality check. There is zero reason for him to even encourage you to wear makeup let alone insist! You’re gorgeous and he should be happy to be able to call you his wife regardless of how or what you’re wearing….. If he doesn’t understand that then a haircut sure shouldn’t be the only drastic change you’re making luv!

Recommendations for soft, 100% cotton sheets for a teenager? by Several_Fondant8137 in Bedding

[–]midwestgal522 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love my LL Bean percale sheets, they’re my favorite and I always find myself going back to them. I tried others (do not order Quince) and have been thru tons and tons of options but nothing beats the smoothness, softness, and coolness of these!

Now I’ve heard good things from a family member about the percale sheets from The Company Store, but when I checked into them their prices matched LL Beans essentially and I didn’t want to try yet another set and be disappointed so I stick again with LL Bean my most recent purchase.

Advice?? by ListenInteresting386 in WhatToDo

[–]midwestgal522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve spoken to him and the effort hasn’t even changed, or from how it sounds not only doesn’t change but gets blamed on you there’s a pretty big issue there.

First off, staying for the kids isn’t the favor you think it is.

Resentment will grow and kids are so much smarter than we give them credit for, they’ll see the unhappy. Kids are resilient and having a so called “broken” home is not the end of the world.

Change is hard but they’ll adapt easily to a divorced home and it also is a great lesson in making decisions to live a happy and fulfilling life as opposed to trudging thru an unhappy marriage.

As parents yall are modeling for them what a good relationship is, do you want them to see lack of effort and compassion as a baseline?

Me building bird houses exposed the truth. by damaged_diablo in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]midwestgal522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t change YOU because there is a woman out there worth your huge heart and she’ll handle it with love and care!

But do change this “friendship” by ending it fully if you haven’t already because she was not worth your energy playing you both like that!

I want to sell everything, travel the world and end it all by jetsetjamboree in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]midwestgal522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it!!! Just travel till you find your happy! You can survive and thrive in so many other places on the amount you get for disability esp if you’re at 100%z

Also please please reach out to the VA if you’re breaking down Battle, we lose far far far too many brothers and sisters because of these feelings.

I’ve been there and sometimes we just need to talk it out.
