Do you think this is inappropriate?
Someone from Church gave me a lift home and we both have young kids and he was saying that his shoulders hurt because he slept funny, and I said, oh tell me about it, our one comes into our bed in the night and you have to sleep on the edge of the bed. And he goes, "oh that's not good, that can't be good for your sex life"
Identity crisis
For a while now I’ve been feeling sooooo low and can’t make myself feel good.
I just feel ugly, like literally hideous. I don’t like the way I look, I wonder how my partner could even look at me and find me attractive in the slightest.
I keep trying out new styles or copying the way others look to try and make myself feel better in some way, to no avail.
I can’t tell if I feel like I’m getting old, or mum life has taken its toll on me, or if I’ve just lost all confidence in myself.
I need to know if anyone else has felt this way and if there was ever a way you were able to like what you see in the mirror again?
Feeling alone
I feel like I’m loosing touch with people daily,
I don’t have many friends or mum friends as I cut people off easily,
And It take me a lot to let people in,
But I’m sick of always putting everyone else first, sick of changing plans to suit others only to be letdown time after time,
I’ve had enough of people saying they’re gonna come round. I will stay in and then they not turn up and give some fob excuse of why they didn’t
But every day i’m expected to wake up put a smile on my face and carry on like as if it didn’t affect me
Everyone sees me as this strong aggressive woman thats always there to talk to,
Don’t get me wrong if anyone needed to talk I’m always there for them, I will be that one to talk, to cry to, what ever,
even just someone to have tea or lunch with or a play date with the kids,
But when I tell a friend that I’m physically and emotionally exhausted, in pain and sick of seeing the same 4 walls,
They seem to start going on about how hard they have it like I don’t matter and they are worse off,
I feel so angry all the time.
Is it just me.
Warning - nausea medications
So I know a lot of you have struggled with nausea and vomiting, and been prescribed medications my a GP, myself included. I was first prescribed cyclizine, and then Prochlorperazine. I was told by the GP though they are not licensed in pregnancy both are commonly used and thought to be safe. After neither worked I asked for Xonvea, which they gave me (GP hadn't heard of it before though).
Today I've had my first midwife appointment. She told me the FIRST medication any pregnant women should be offered is Xonvea as per national guidelines as of last year when it was licenced. And particularly women in the first trimester. She said for the GP to have offered me anything else I should have been given a huge amount of written information warning that their safety cannot be known. I wasn't given this. I've seen lots of women struggling to get Xonvea prescribed. NHS guidelines literally state we should be given Xonvea first, and she has now informed all the GPs at my practice. Hopefully this helps anyone else having issues with it!
