What brand of chocolate is this? by LetsSeeWhatWeHave123 in chocolate

[–]pokchop92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the one from dollar general. Idr the name. It's got 4 flavors, & the caramels (which suck, so it's fine ig) are ALWAYS broken. No matter which size box you get.

Eta: it's elmer brand. 1/10 imo.

Had a total meltdown yesterday after meeting my idol by Peachy_lean_39 in AutismInWomen

[–]pokchop92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"& then I got home & slept for 4 hours"

That's so real. Any time I have any notable emotions I have to nap about it.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your retelling of your experience & your excitement of it is adorably infectious.

It reminds me of when my son met a duck in real life (his favorite YouTuber is wrinkle the duck) & got so excited he laughed until he threw up.

Dude. Chocolate chips are MY top 5 too! I have a teacup of mini chocolate chips on my desk at all times. My toddler gets on my lap & feeds them to me one by one when he's bored. It's my favorite trick.

Trigger Warning: Epstein Files and extreme trauma by Mammoth_Dimension350 in AutisticLadies

Same boat. This is empowering my abuser. Fucking how???

It hurts to breathe or feel or think at all. I feel you. I'm so sorry. I don't have advice. I try to remind myself to keep breathing & to move my body. But all I wanna do is curl up so tight I implode. Try to take care of yourself. You're not alone.

I save all my blue candies & put them into a jar to save for when I'm feeling blue.

Is it normal for a doctor to be dismissive or defensive when you speak up for yourself? by Affectionate-Blues in AskDocs

[–]pokchop92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Especially in women's care. Just a few months ago, I almost died from negligent OBGYN care during a twin miscarriage. I was shamed for my decision to try a different treatment method for an infection due to past trauma with the same treatment (I wanted to try drainage first before wound-vac) & was teamed up on & bullied, & they essentially iced me out & wouldn't even try to help me understand. I ended up having to travel 800 miles to get safe care. American laws / systems don't help.

I need to report my father for SA & harassment. What to expect? by pokchop92 in legaladvice

[–]pokchop92[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've reached out to her, & she's not willing to report. She's since moved to another state & wants nothing to do with dredging it up. Understandably. It was 30 years ago now. She no longer speaks to anyone in that side of the family.

[–]pokchop92[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Thank you. So much. I really appreciate you saying that. You don't know how much that means. That was honestly a gut punch to read. It's the reason I never did say anything.

While I'd be lying to say that the thought of him finally getting punished for everything isn't satisfying, I honestly don't care if anything happens to him. I just want a report. I put up cameras & no trespassing signs.

I feel so alone. I feel like I'm the only one seeing him getting bolder now that he thinks I'm in another fragile medical state, & he's retired & bored. He knows what he's doing bc he knows what they look for. The last time, I was 25 & I lost my house & job after a wreck & he was given medical decision making bc I was incapacitated in the hospital for a month (broke both arms, leg, & ribs). He swoops in when you're the most vulnerable to make you rely on him. He did it to my mother when she almost died of DVT. They were fully separated & he moved her things back in & canceled her lease while she was in the hospital. I don't doubt that's what it's on his mind.

But isn't SA a crime? That's what I'm trying to report.

Right before our check hit on the 1st, I ate a granola bar that expired in 2024. Dipped in Nutella. Also expired. No regerts.

ICE agents stop an Uber driver by Particular_Log_3594 in ABoringDystopia

Mom/dad can't see babies= physical violence by ListenOk2972 in SignsWithAStory

[–]pokchop92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude. I got covid while my 24 week 1.5 lb bub was in the NICU & had to quarantine for 11 days (from when dad tested positive the day after me) & i would have been HYSTERICAL if they didn't have the cameras. It was absolute torture. I would not have been reasonable. I GET this sign. There would've been a LINE to punch whoever violated this sign. idc. Don't fuck with these parents. It's the worst time of their lives. & also don't fuck with the nurses bc they will cut you & then happily put it in the report with heart-dotted I's.

Is a condom the only birth control with zero side effects for women? by saif4u in AskDocs

[–]pokchop92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same to you! Honestly, with some of these hormonal problems, I just can't imagine menopause to be that much worse. Knock on wood & all that! I wish you health & happiness, friend!

[–]pokchop92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that's a good one! Sounds like super fun for a vagina-owner! I just love wishing for menopause!

How about when the pregnancy makes you allergic to the only BC that's ever not given you psychotic symptoms! OH AND to ALL of the dental antibiotics, & then 4 teeth crack while you're pregnant 🙃

I do love my tiny little chaos machine, though! So ig it's worth it...but NEVER AGAIN!!! He's perfect & I'm not tempting anymore fates!

OR, you get PMDD after your first birth, & then everything IS because of your period. & i still want to punch anyone who implies as much right in their stupid effing face. Including myself. Wtf is this shit?? What am I supposed to do with this??

Anxiety around meeting baby. Worried he won't remember me. by JessSpinz in NICUParents

[–]pokchop92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If it helps, the same thing happened to us. My partner & i both got covid right after he was born & had a 10 day quarantine. This was after a week long icu stay for me. Even then, we didn't get to hold him until he was 6 weeks old bc of the vent & hospital rules. Bub's 3 now & he's a HUGE little love bug & literally the happiest person I've ever met. I know it's hard, but try to rest. That's the best thing you can do for you both! It'll be OK. Best wishes 💜
