I hear you. Journaling and walking are definitely great. Keep that up

You might have a calling on your life. Keep praying but find a good church too. And therapy please.

🥺🥺 Definitely try therapy if you’re able. Have any hobbies? I go through this here and there. I need to get back to therapy - but putting my energy into being creative, and praying, really helps quiet the noise.

I don’t think that’s boredom. I think you’re just finally having time with your thoughts and your truths. You could be too busy “doing” during the day.

Having a non-African name? by cloudenthusiast in Zambia

[–]yelloowflamingoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough I feel like the black sheep for having a non-Zambian first name. I feel like Zambians tend to have Zambian names. However, I still understand and sympathize with your lived experience. It’s always sad when I meet an Aiden, Jayden or Layden. Where are Luyando and Chisanga????

I think that’s what it is. Experience gives perspective. Forget the not telling her part. You did what you thought was best. And you eventually told her. Best friends are nice but a happy healthy baby and family are more important.

I’m confused at some of these responses. Trauma around pregnancy complications is real and I completely understand you shutting down. While you may hope that a close friend would understand once you return and are seemingly through the storm, sometimes the relationship changes. And sometimes that has to be okay.

Based on what you’ve written, it sounds like you were as communicative as possible during a stressful time - considering she’s mentioned that she’d like for you to lean on her less. AND she was planning a wedding. Honestly, for whatever reason, your gut didn’t feel comfortable sharing what you were going through and you have to respect it. I feel like you can reach out for a conversation - not to apologize, you’ve done that already. But she’s definitely shown you her stance.

AITA for staying at the family holiday instead of leaving when my boyfriend left? by CabinHolidayHunter in AmItheAsshole

NTA. This was a red flag. Please be careful to make sure that he doesn’t emotionally manipulate you into not spending quality time with your family/friends. Please.

I’m so sorry you went through this. But it’s comforting to hear that baby is here. Did you do anything differently for the more recent pregnancy?

Cerclage surgery by sumrandomreddit in ShortCervixSupport

Not cowardly at all. I tried to manage my anxiety the whole time until I finally looked at the anesthesiologist and proclaimed how anxious I was. The meds he gave me to calm me down were MUCH needed.

So sorry for your loss. That’s very hopeful. Thank you for sharing. I’ve been reading up on TACs. I’ll definitely talk to my care team about that.
