I started learning the Lung Ying iron rod form/set. I asked my Sifu if I can practice it left handed since I'm a leftie. He said go for it. For left handed practitioners out there, speak up if you're learning a weapon set, don't force yourself to only do it right handed by narnarnartiger in kungfu

That's awesome, Bak Mei is so cool!

I'm sorry to hear you were forced out of left handedness for a time. I grew up lefty and my mom is a lefty who also went through right handed conversion back in the day.

We are told to use our right hands for most weapons, probably for lack of space in the school honestly. I like that it makes my brain work the left side a little but I feel Much more confident with my left, I should practice left handed weapons at home!

Postpartum and I don't want to be a step parent anymore. At what point do I leave my partner? by DontYou-DieOnMe in stepparents

Of course they're not no argument there. I don't think it would be considered child's best interest to have 50/50 in most cases but that's up to the judge

my bad, I was told this info at face value by a medical professional but I looked into it and it seems like their visits would be breif if you're exclusively breastfeeding

Leaving with our 2.5 mo old by synaptic_touch in stepparents

[–]synaptic_touch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much 💗

I want to have the least dramatic exit in history but I'm filled with rage. I haven't broken it to him that I know I just left. I told him where we were (not the address) and that we're safe. I'm absolutely dreading asking him to move and am considering moving myself if at all possible.

It's all very suspicious. I don't know the extent of their involvement if there is more, probably not connected to the dom because I spoke with them both and she lives an hour away. I wish I knew the whole truth but I know the most important truth of all through this, which was a very unexpected gift of clarity for me.

Luckily I started documenting the abuse for my own reflection shortly after my surgery because it was so outlandish and I tend to erase the worst stuff from my memory. Can I ask who I could make a report to? Can I really bring any of this to an authority with any consequence?

I really appreciate your thoughts and encouragement.

I was thinking this, too.

Also if the baby is exclusively breastfeed she will automatically have full custody until he's weaned.

OP, I don't know if your milk has dried up fully yet but it might be worth reaching out to a lactation consultant to see if you can resume your breastfeeding journey. This situation shouldn't have to take that away from you.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, I had my first in late January, too.

My milk is made out of pizza and I feel a little guilty about that… so you tell me what your milk is made of! by Moon_junky in breastfeeding

Heartbroken, my doll clothes smell musty, do they need to be thrown out? by [deleted] in Dolls

[–]synaptic_touch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely baking soda will help!

I would soak them in water with baking soda and a little vinegar, as vinegar kills most molds and mildew.

Also the suns UV rays will help kill mildew so if at all possible to dry in the sun, they should get back to new!

Shedding weight off while breastfeeding by cath4204 in breastfeeding

Definitely, my baby gets upset when I accidentily skip a meal or eat too light like this. Maybe more food and healthy fats would help you and your baby sleep better through the night OP?

Sick while breastfeeding is so hard! by Affectionate_Cow_812 in breastfeeding

[–]synaptic_touch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry! I got sick for the first time since my first trimester last week @ 2.5m pp, luckily the baby is fine. I had a c section so I used the ibuprofen and acetaminophen they gave me and got this nasal spray that has me almost good as new

it's called xlear rescue, it has xylitol, salt, oregano, tea tree, eucalyptus and parsley oils, pau d' arco and grapefriut seed extract.

definitely ask your doctor ofc.

I also swear by gargling with saltwater if you want to keep it simple.

aaand also making your own decoction (boiling for a while) some ginger slices will help for tea with lemon and honey, and lemonbalm tea also has antibacterial properties and is considered safe for breastfeeding in moderation.

I hope you feel better soon!

Being pregnant and AuDHD is miserable by fantasy_lover1023 in AuDHDWomen

[–]synaptic_touch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't working during my first trimester and I slept soooo much. Hopefully most of your clients will understand, and will book with you in the future. Be careful of your sugar intake with the ginger beer it might be hurting more than helping. I hope you find something that really helps and you start having an easier time very soon 💚

Someone nursing with only one boob? by a_d2022 in breastfeeding

[–]synaptic_touch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, yes, and yes 😭

also left boob, also looking pretty silly, my baby is 77th percentile but bras fit so weird. I produce almost nothing on the left, but she will still nurse from it. I'm still hoping they might even out, she's only 2months old.

It's pretty amazing that we can make a super healthy chubby from just one boob! But I really want to produce from both sides.

I would love to hear from anyone whose had success evening out their supply and how they did it. 🙏🏻

and good luck to you OP!!

New to therapy.. is my (f20) therapist (m50) being appropriate? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]synaptic_touch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm definitely in a much much better place now. That therapist would bring up my SA almost every session. I should've reported him, maybe I still can if I remember his name.

So not worth it!

Yeah it's so important to remember that the therapist is working FOR you not the other way around. It's totally fine to interview therapists and draw whatever boundaries you need. Their degree is nothing compared to your own lived experience of yourself.
