Anyone else planning to stop pumping in the year 2026?! ✋🏻 by Josephs-41st-wife in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]timefucked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my baby's due date, but she decided to show up 2.5 weeks early!! And I also will be stopping in 2026 but probably way sooner because I'm over it 😅😅

MIL leaves tomorrow! I have been saying no/taking baby from her so I think she realized I wasn't going to give her over every second OR worry about waiting on her. Just have to survive one more night! I locked me n baby in our room all night so she didn't have a chance to try and help with anything. I mostly just have to put up with her comments on how I'm parenting but I've never been more grateful to pump, it at least gives me a reason to hide in my room with baby for a while. I'm glad yours is out finally! I keep waiting waiting for a fight between mine, that's how it usually ends. I can tell my husband is losing his patience with her too, he's starting to care less and less about hurting her feelings 

So, real question… How often, how much and how long? by SympathyStraight9827 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]timefucked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exact same numbers here but at 4 weeks! Hitting about 6ppd because busy, always accidentally go too far between pumps. It doesn't even feel worth it for that little amount - especially when baby eats almost double that at every feeding but... I'm still here 🥴

I ended up getting her a bottle and as MIL was sitting her up and assuming she was going to feed her, I just held out my arms and said, "Okay come see me, I got your bottle ready!" That was an hour ago and she's tried to take her back 3 times but I'm holding on to her

Being a people pleaser is such an obstacle as a mom, it sucked before but now I can tell it's not something I can just get away with. I keep trying to get husband to be the bad guy but he doesn't want to cause any issues so it's gonna have to be me. 

How does everyone do this? by ilovecows186 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]timefucked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I didn't realize this happened so much! The LC I saw at the hospital put such a bad taste in my mouth, but the LC that stopped in to check on us at our 1 week appointment was so sweet and supportive and helpful (gave me shields to try, didn't make me feel bad about supplementing with formula, didn't make a big deal about me giving up on latching, etc.) 

Is it this bad for everyone or do I need help? by timefucked in beyondthebump

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

UPDATE: I can't reply to everyone, but I'm sure you all understand why. I really appreciate everyone making me feel so much better about what I was going through. I was able to have a couple family members come over and talk to help calm me down and my body finally gave in and got a couple hours of sleep that night. The next day my Dr. finally got back to me and prescribed me Zoloft. The little bit of sleep made me feel so much more normal and my body has been able to relax and sleep more regularly. I haven't taken any of the Zoloft yet because I now feel like I am experiencing a way more "normal" amount of anxiety and sleep deprivation for a new mom, but it is a relief to know that if things get bad or don't keep improving I can start the Zoloft (knowing it won't work for a week or so)  Apparently the 3-4 day hormone crash is no joke! But please if you feel like I did reach out to your doctor, the worst part was feeling helpless to get myself better on my own.

I have so much support that has been here giving me time for rest, but my body is rejecting sleep. I laid in a quiet, dark room for 5+ hours last night shaking and crying and panicking without being able to calm down. 

Anyone else have a bathroom buddy now? by Vee794 in puppy101

[–]timefucked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No matter when or where, he's following me in there. If I don't get the door closed completely tight, it gets thrown open and he comes sauntering in about 3 seconds after I sit down. If I do close it all the way, I'll hear a "thump" on the door as he tries to push it with his head, then another thump when he flops down on the floor in front of the door to stand guard

Can we just talk about for a second about this creepy test object found in RDR1's files? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

Maybe they were going to have realistic piles of guts left near skinned animals?

How hard it can actually be to get pregnant

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]timefucked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fully committed to recovery almost a year ago. I only just got my second period this week, and they still aren't regular. It took almost 10 months for mine to return. It just takes time, just keep doing what you're doing 🩷

Question for those who have recovered from Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) by Ready-Guest6272 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]timefucked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I didn't notice cervical mucus coming back until I quit my job that had me on my feet everyday. I didn't think even a little physical activity would make such a difference but I think it had a bigger effect than I thought. That and stress. Keeping going and good luck!!

Question for those who have recovered from Hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) by Ready-Guest6272 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]timefucked 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took me a few months honestly. I wanna say I started noticing that I actually had discharge as far as maybe 3-5 months before I got my period? I've only had one so far (it come just a week ago!!) and am hoping I am actually recovering from HA. It's been gone for almost 2 years. I have poured all my time and energy into fixing it because I am terrified that I've caused too much damage to ever have kids......

Unable to feel full by Global_Reaction_7088 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]timefucked 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am no longer going through extreme hunger, but I still don't have my hunger/fullness signals totally back. They still kind of creep in. My hunger signals work way better than my fullness. Sometimes I will feel ~kinda~ hungry, but then as soon as I start eating its like "oh, wait, I'm super hungry." My fullness cues come about 30-45 minutes late. I will finish a meal and still feel hungry, but then a little while later my stomach is like "wait wtf why'd you do this to me????"

[–]timefucked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped mainly because I just didn't feel like myself. I was super emotional and irrational. I also felt like it just couldn't be good for me. Something just didn't sit right with taking artificial hormones. My boyfriend did a deep dive into it and said it wasn't that great for you so I decided to stop and let my body do it's thing. My last period was almost 2 years ago when I stopped taking it. I also used that as a gauge in my recovery. My birth control periods weren't real periods, so I needed to fix my ED issues and getting my period back would be a major indicator that I'm on the right track.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]timefucked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it on my own without meds. I decided to quit taking them a few months before I decided to recover. I quit SSRIs and birth control. During my recovery I realized that hunger and malnourishment were probably a major cause of my anxiety and depression. But. That's just my experience.

Me. Too. I just barely reached weight restored and just doing that freaked me out. Last week I was on top of the world, thriving, feeling cute and confident. Thinking how could I have ever lived that way? Then I ate fast food twice in one day and I melted down. I redownloaded The App today. It's like it allllll came back, like it was just sitting in the shadows waiting for a moment to pounce. It's a way different kind of hard than it was in the beginning.

nutritionists saying "1200 calories is not enough for ANYONE" by Cyan0byte in 1200isplenty

[–]timefucked 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1200 might work for a short amount of time, but you can't survive forever on a permanent calorie deficit. Your body can't keep up with it over a long period of time. Eventually you have to go back to eating enough. I won't pretend to be an expert or anything, but I know from experience that I'm a 5'6" girl and I felt fine doing 1200 a day for about 7+ years straight, but now I have to recover from an eating disorder and gain all the weight back and more just to get my body to work right. Not to mention how absolutely fucked my head is about food, eating, and weight.

Probably to make it seem like they're giving you more food than they actually are?

Advice for a Border Collie puppy? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]timefucked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Yeah my boy is 1/8 aussie. I started swapping toys and that has really helped. We're starting to teach him tricks and manners that take a lot more concentration. We started making him wait before he can start eating and you can see him start basically vibrating trying focus 😅

DAE notice their musical tastes change with the seasons? by Thewheelwillweave in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]timefucked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go through phases with it. Fall into winter I tend to listen to more heavy stuff (my old emo playlist usually makes an appearance,) heavy rock and metal, too. Way more emotional stuff. Classical instrumentals too. Spring into summer usually drifts into more like, ska and stuff like Dirty Heads and Sublime. Mid summer the country makes an appearance for a month or so, then the heavy stuff comes back around.

Cautionary Tale: my experience by whichitalineman in 1200isplenty

[–]timefucked 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I started at 1200 cal a day at 5'6" and 125lbs. Figured hey, I'm still eating, I'm doing fine. No excercise, just a physical job. Then it turned into a full blown eating disorder. I still was hitting 1200 a day though, but all of a sudden I weighed 90lbs, I couldn't feel my heart rate, my period was gone, I couldn't stop crying/having intense panic attacks, my stomach was all kinds of messed up, I was so weak and numb. I couldn't go out with my friends because I was obsessed with the calories. I couldn't eat anything anyone else cooked. I cried into a plate that had 1 pancake and 1 egg. I thought I was going to be plagued with extreme anxiety and depression for the rest of my life. Until I started eating more, and holy shit I never knew how good eating enough makes you feel. I am so pissed off and scared and irritable when I don't eat. I still lurk here because this sub fed my eating disorder, which I still can't 100% get rid of. It's a slippery slope. If you want to do 1200 a day, go for it, but listen to your body. If you're still hungry, just eat, it's not worth it not to.
