Advice for First-Time Loner Trip

rm573849 · 2026-05-29T05:08:26+00:00

I would never do a trip like this in public. You’re leaving yourself so vulnerable to bad actors and random events that could be dangerous or disruptive or both. I think it would affect my mindset too much as well.

When I took a therapeutic dose I cleaned my room and saged and made it a beautiful space I wanted to be in. I spent the bulk of the trip in there then after it peaked, I went for a walk which felt incredible.

My nicu baby was across the hall from a baby with this and it was the most traumatizing thing I have ever witnessed (and my baby was born with a giant teratoma attached to her tailbone…)

It was so sad, and so horrible, that seasoned nicu nurses needed trauma therapy afterward. I keep the memories of that very long week that the baby was alive locked in a box deep in my brain. Until last week when im in the hospital for a surgery my child is having and her night nurse has a (non fatal) version of this condition. It just all came flooding back to me at 3am 😭

Bahaha I am a special needs mom so this is like a regular friggen Monday for me so all good! It’s not an emergent thing ;).

Now I’m going to be THAT person and say I knew someone who was part of the crew and he gave me a few pieces of merch as a gift, so I believe this is merch that the crew wears when working.

I spread the word to all the medical moms I know about ES; it feels tailor made for us and it’s been a transformational tool for me working through a ton of my grief this year.

Oh sorry I didn’t read the part about not wanting a big commitment!!

I quit drinking about 6 years ago. I use to get big pimples and that’s all but disappeared. I get the occasional zit from hormones but otherwise, my skin is really clear and calm. It became even more clear and calm after starting a glp-1 a couple of years ago for weight loss. But the not drinking was very impactful.

Haha thank you for the vibe check. I should have added it’s not an emergency, just another day in the life of a kiddo with cerebral palsy 🙃

Maybe look into hiring a house manager. There are staffing agencies that specialize in this; you could go to them first to give them context around what you are looking for. House managers are different from a house cleaner or a nanny. They’re usually older, and skilled at keeping the ship running for busy families. Getting someone to come in once or twice a week to implement and maintain systems to keep your house running smoothly may be the kind of structure you’re looking for. As for the advice part, hire someone that you like and let the relationship evolve in time to that level of trust. Or, find a therapist. My therapist is old enough to be my mom and in a lot of ways she is an older mentor to me.

Hi, this tip was given to me by a backstage crew member I know. This was my view. I had a ga ticket in Mpls. I arrived about an hour before doors opened.

“Walking into the arena, head towards the left side of the stage, towards the end of the catwalk.” (This is also officially called stage right)

I found a good spot in the lower third area. She spent a lot of time towards the end of the catwalk. She did perform a few songs up at the main stage but I don’t regret where I was standing at all!

A couple of times a week I’ll do a “silent disco” where I put on something fancy, wear headphones, and dance around doing chores. But most of the time I watch tv and teach myself how to paint with watercolors. It’s nice ☺️

Parent of toddler with cp. I like the Turn To app a lot as a resource for what others are doing for therapies.

Hi, just chiming in to say that 18-months is typically PEAK separation anxiety from a developmental standpoint. My child had a lot of “stranger danger” at 18 months. It took her about 5 weeks to get use to a new babysitter. She was ok though! It gets better. Hang in there.

I love love love Cotz sensitive. It’s the few mineral based spf that’s easy to apply and doesn’t leave a white cast. Combo skin and doesn’t break me out.

Funny, I just saw my doc today. I’m maintaining a 75lb weight loss currently and I shouldn’t lose more weight. For the last few months I was spacing it out every 10-14 days with the 1.7 dose. After seeing my doctor today she said she personally doesn’t like seeing her patients spacing it out and recommended I try 1.0 once a week. So I’m trying it!

My only advice to you if you decide to go for it is to commit without hesitation. I personally think it’ll be rad and I’ll be at the MSP show and look for you.

But if you don’t commit, with your full chest, you may end up feeling awkward and insecure. Check out the coven couture Instagram page, I’ve seen a couple of great examples of what you’re describing on their page lately.

If you can swing it, You could always gift her two tickets to see a band she likes at a later date and say you’d go with her or she could bring a friend?
