As a 41yr old childhood trauma survivor myself I have found a lot of help thru a specialist that is a survivor themselves, I’m not trying to promote them unless you’re interested but do know that you’re seen, valid and these moments will happen. Try to find your joy🫶🏻

From what I recall at the funeral home after my dad died, in the US you cannot be buried in this, it’s ONLY for a non-viewing cremation.

John Oliver offered him $1mil a year to retire and a brand new Winnebago yet upon the highest court he still reigns with that shifty ass smirk across his face

Postpartum generally lasts at least 8wks so it seems someone isn’t account for science

The article specifies that “researchers found that in 2022, 22.3 US women per 100,000 died either during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth” so I’m not really sure what the first response is on about “counts mortality differently” 🙄

American Northeast - Blizzard of 1996 It snowed for days! School was closed for a week. Then unseasonably warm weather melted the tons of snow and the river flooded. As if being 13 wasn’t difficult enough, that was quite a year

Please check out NORML.org

I’ve been a supporter for quite some time. They’re really trying to make a strong grassroots presence and bring change along with peer reviewed studies.

I love a good Knoebels name-drop

I’m sorry I didn’t know.

This is what I found: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/07/ftc-gives-final-approval-order-banning-betterhelp-sharing-sensitive-health-data-advertising

I had no idea! They also do virtual appointments so I thought the communication done on the app was for emergencies and the sort. Being a therapist is tough that’s why I never chose to work toward that aspect of my social science degree.

I am American and was going to recommend BetterHelp so searched if it expanded out of the US and there’s now UK chapters.

I signed up for the couples counseling sister site but haven’t started yet. Prices are quite reasonable and everything is virtual and secure.

Not even generic?

Oh yeah, initial intake is tough not to mention finding a doc

I don’t know if the same thing is happening with the XR but if the IR worked for your husband it might be a good alternative. I recommend Vyvance, it was recently approved for generic. Still a bit pricy but it’s longer acting with less of the unbearable side effects.

You can’t save everyone but you can help someone if you’re in a good station in life. Every one of us has ups and downs, that’s living!

I understand outliers and you’re right but I really wish they made me feel valuable instead of being treated like a criminal for trying to hunt down my medication

I used a small old school pharmacy (it’s quite obviously only used for meds and inflating balloons cause all the items on the shelves were covered in a layer of dust) but they were meaner than the corporate locations and told me I couldn’t keep switching btwn pharmacies cause it “looked suspicious” despite that literally being the recommendations since there was a stimulant shortage in the entire nation. It’s all situation specific and most of the time I feel degraded😞

Woah. This is incredibly helpful! How do you get the perimenopause diagnosis? Like there’s times where I’m sure I’ll never be able to access that memory again, also thought Alzheimer’s

My BPD gets unmanageable too since Vyvance seems to keep me emotionally balanced

When I first got diagnosed in my 30’s and started on Vyvance I became so frustrated when I would menstruate cause I felt like all the progress I had been making was completely undone! After a few months my male doctor was like “oh yeah there can be some symptom fluctuations that might occur during your period” Months I thought the meds just weren’t working!
