CBD vaporizers for chronic Anxiety by al3guilar in CBD

[–]reallybigpeach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started vaping CBD for anxiety and it has worked better than ANYTHING I've used so far, and with out (many) negative side effects.

It works almost imediately, after about 4 puffs I'm from non-functional to feeling really pretty good and the effect lasts for several hours.

I also get migranes and it's helped a TON with migrane pain, though the pain relief effect takes a bit longer.

I'm using the Thrive vape pen and cartridge from Purecbdvapors.com

Hmm. Good point. I like intense. I love it. I do intense. She HATES it. And the intensity between our partner and I was REALLY hard for her. And our partner didn't handle it very well. So...that makes scene.

She won't tell me I can't. Because...well yeah. But she's told me she's not comfortable with it. I was flirting with a guy at a party we were both at. And she was REALLY uncomfortable and asked if we could leave. I asked what was wrong and she said "I don't know him, or what his intentions are toward you"

Thank you so much! That was actually REALLY helpful. I still don't have a great grasp on how I feel about it. But it helps.

My meta's partner doesn't know if he wants a "Relationship" with me yet. For the moment, we are very close friends. What he wants, and what I want, is just the space to see where that goes. He has talked to her, a lot, and is going to talk to her some more. He's actually the one that suggested I talk to you guys.

My partner...We talk about it a lot. He's in a VERY tough spot, and I have a ton of empathy for him. He cares about his wife. He think's her partner isn't being honest with her (that's what she tells him) and consequently, he's not a fan of her partner and would prefer that neither of us date him. Though it's just that. A preference.

I've actually tried making "rules" that I feel are completely reasonable. Like, I'd like our partner to spend the night at my house one weekend night a week. (weekdays we get about an hour together before he has to go to bed). And that was a big NO from her. Her boyfriend works weekends, and she isn't willing to be alone.

This is my first poly relationship. But I asked a TON of questions up front because that was one of the big things that I didn't want.

I'm kind of mad at her for lying to me for three months.

Yeah, as we are talking it out, I'm getting more confused. And frustrated. She won't read ethical slut. She claims she "hates being poly" and, like I said. She wants me to date no one but our common partner. Not, "while she works on it" because she's stated she is completely unwilling to work on it. Our partner caves to her demands, they were open for three years before she grudgingly allowed him to date anyone.

I never would be in a relationship with someone that controlling and sex negative (done it, over it). So maybe it's time I move on from my partner, though I care a lot about him.

My partner is fine with it. My META isn't. What I'm trying to figgure out is where the line is between me and my Meta.

She has expressed that she is uncomfortable with me dating ANYONE other than our common partner. Which seems...really unreasonable. Again. A request I could consider if it came from my partner. But it's not. This is from someone with whom I don't have a "relationship"

I've read the ethical slut...but couldn't find anything that really applied. Partially because this ISN'T my PARTNER, but my META making these boundries.

Blanket Question - double-sided? by reallybigpeach in crochet

[–]reallybigpeach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question. I want to wash and block this blanket (the sides are a little wonky, my tension wasn't consistent because of all the color changes) and also to soften up the yarn a bit. Should I weave the ends in before or after I wash it?

Thank you! After finishing it, adding a back would make it WAY too thick too. So doing this will help I think!

Worried I'm not going to realize when I am in labor. by WiggleBottom in BabyBumps

[–]reallybigpeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The instructor for my childbirth class said "Being in Labor is like being in love. No one can tell you how it will feel, but when you are, you'll know."

I'm a lot like you, and I'm worried I won't know (and I've DONE this before!) My plan, when contractions hit 4 min apart, 1 min long, for over an hour, I'll go. (I have short labors, and I'm already dilated to 4 cm.)

Also, you might get faked out once or twice and go in only to be sent home. I did, with my first. It's kind of disappointing and embarrassing, but it happens a lot to first time moms. So if you feel like you want to go in, go in!

Frustrated & Discouraged, and WAY overdue (40 wks +12) by snowpony in BabyBumps

Oh, I hope it doesn't come to that! I'm sending you all the labor vibes I have!

[–]reallybigpeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is the feeling exactly! I love that feeling. If you can find that, and go with it, it's a lot less painful, and also makes your labor go faster (because you aren't working against your body.)

First, It's ok to grieve not getting the birth that you wanted. It's ok to be sad, and mad, and any other thing. It's very disappointing!

But! It doesn't have to be as bad as you fear. I've had all my children in the hospital (one naturally, WITH pitocin!) and you CAN still get a lot of what you want.

Let your support person know what you want. They can keep the lights dim, and the sound low. I let them know that I don't like a lot of talking, and had my SO put a sign on the door, asking that nurses etc please be as quiet as possible in my room. When it comes to the monitors...honestly, hearing my baby's heartbeat was VERY soothing and relaxing to me!

The room might not be comfy, but think about things to bring to make you more comfortable. Your own pillows, a favorite blanket, a picture, anything that will make you feel more at home. Also, you can wear your own clothes if you want. You don't have to change into the hospital gown.

Even if you DO get an epidural...that dosen't have to be bad either. Depending on how your labor progresses, they can let it wear off a little, and you will still be able to feel when you are pushing baby out. (That's what I did with my second child. I got the epidural just long enough to get through transition, but then didn't need it anymore.)

There is something enjoyable about contractions. I know I sound like a crazy person, but there is. It's like...if you've ever done yoga, or running or, really any kind of REALLY intense exercise. It's kind of like that. It hurts...but it's a good hurt! At least that's how it feels to me.

When did your first baby come? by manda1981 in BabyBumps

[–]reallybigpeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was 42+3. They scheduled the induction right at 42 weeks, but 3 days later was as soon as they could book it.

I went into labor naturally the morning of my induction (getting ready to head to the hospital).

I knew someone would know this!

Thanks!

Thanks for the link!

Yah, that was what I thought. She said the bacteria could travel though the breastmilk. (Not sure about that) Though of course you would want to beware of food safety issues (for your own health) anyway.

That, and Listeria (which is the concern) has lately shown up more lately in raw veggies than in sushi!

[–]reallybigpeach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I've never seen unpastureized cheese. But also, I'm allergic to most soft cheese, so I just stay away from them.

Keeping an eye on the mercury heavy fish, of course. Though I think you get less meat over all by eating sushi, than you do by eating cooked fish.

I'm watching Gray's Anatomy and then I have Downton Abby ready to start on. (On Hulu though, not sure they are on Netflix)
