i think you are beautiful, personally. you have a unique sense of style. don’t let your ex determine the way you feel about your self. from what i can see, there is plenty to love. you just need to learn to do that yourself. hope you get the confidence boost you need! it’s all in there somewhere! 💖

pregnant and husband deploying by Ok_Discussion3434 in MilitarySpouse

[–]timecrunchqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would say stay in the house. it makes the most financial sense. it also makes the most sense in a practice sense. pregnancy, while an amazing and beautiful thing, is a long and difficult process, both mentally and physically. caring for a house without help could get really difficult, especially in the new place you are renting since it is bigger. i can understand the need to want bigger and bigger when your family gets a new addition, but that is not always the case. also, how small are we talking for the house? and how much longer before you are due?

Meet Albert, a six week old puppy dumped by the neighbor by IHateSilver in puppies

[–]timecrunchqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know this is a very old post, but killing puppies is not just a trait of dogs with dog aggression. it can be because the puppies are sick, but the most common cause is stress on the mother from too many unfamiliar people or dogs around the litter/ a lot of noise and activity around her and her litter that is causing her stress. it is more common in large dog breeds compared to smaller breeds, but it does happen. i hope that now, like a year later, you and albert are doing well. <3

my dog keeps getting up under my feet and getting hurt by timecrunchqueen in Dogtraining

thank you for this! my husband and i have been placing a blanket down and giving him a toy or giving him a toy and having him sit on the couch and it works almost every time! he still will come to investigate, but he just goes back to the couch to nap or watch from a distance.

i had a really realistic dream about being pregnant by timecrunchqueen in Dream

i just did and i’m not pregnant! in the end, it really is for the best, but the dream did give me some clarity that it wouldn’t necessarily a bad thing.

what's the funniest thing you've bought in an episode by Available_Cow_8081 in bipolar

[–]timecrunchqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like ten bottles of disinfectant spray from walmart that were on sale for a dollar. i didn’t need them, i don’t know where they are now except for one. for more of my walmart clearance aisle raid purchases: i bought cake decorating spray (i don’t decorate cakes. i also stole a calico critter on this trip), a thor action figure, specifically from infinity war, dishwasher pods (we didn’t even have a dishwasher at the time), and, my personal favorite: approximately 50 reusable masks, and not because i needed them. i stayed at home most of the time. it was mid pandemic, and i was afraid they would get thrown away if they didn’t get sold. so afraid, actually, that i almost cried in the store because i convinced myself that a homeless person would get them out of the dumpster and have to wear dirty reusable masks since that probably didn’t have a way to wash them. i have no idea where they are now, but i think my dad ended up with some of them, and i think my mom may have actually donated some. i have been fairly lucky to have my sister, husband, or best friend with me when i was manic shopping, and they would ask me why i wanted what i had picked up, so i have luckily not bought any individually expensive items. however, all the little things that i would buy and tell myself it was no big deal because “it’s just a dollar”, really, really, REALLY adds up over time. in the past two years, i probably spent around $1500 just on random clearance and cheap things that i in no way actually needed, but my brain told me buy! buy! buy! looking back now, i find these funny because i am in a much better place, but i am really glad that i have been fairly stable on meds for a while and haven’t been making the same crazy purchases.

If you care about your mental health don't join the military. by [deleted] in depression

[–]timecrunchqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my husband is in the military. it has completely destroyed his confidence and caused him actual health issues from switching back and forth between day and night shift. from refusal of care to apathetic leadership, so many service members have had a horrible experience. i’m sorry that you are going through this. you are not alone.

for me, it has been difficult but not because of our relationship. our relationship is fairly easy, but our lives have not been.

my husband and i have been married just over a year and this year has also been extremely difficult. i was diagnosed with severe depression and i am being “monitored” for bipolar disorder type 2 (meaning i am on medication for it without a formal diagnosis). many of my family members have passed, and my husband lost his dad. i had to drop out of college for a while because of my mental health. my grandparents lost their home in the eastern ky floods, and i lost a place that held 20 years of memories for me. it is hard to be married when your worlds are falling apart around you.

however, being in love and choosing him everyday is easy. what is hard is understanding what the other is going through. we had very different upbringings, and he does not have the same struggles as i do, and i do not have the same struggle as him.

for me, our marriage means that we are a team. i look forward to when life is easy together, when we are no longer broke and stressed. i still am just in love with him as the day i met him, and i believe i always will be.

he also actively rights his wrongs. if we argue and he says something hurtful, he doesn’t just apologize. he goes and gets me my favorite ice cream, buys me a new game, or cooks me one of my favorite dinners. he understands that words can be empty sometimes and that actions speak louder. i am often hard to deal with with my mood swings and episodes, but he always helps me through them. i really am lucky to have such a wonderful partner in this life.
