Take them down from the inside

Thank you! Low and tight around your hips. And for the love of the gods down pass your lap child around your family during landing or bounce them near the overhead bins.

(14yr flight attendant here, I've been taken by surprise with the seatbelt sign off more than once)

I never wanted kids. I have one now im 40, and no regrets there, but the fact they're my biological child is bc my husband really wanted that. I would've been fine with adopting.

Consider you meet an amazing woman who really wants kids, and her her you'll do it, would you be OK with adopting? Or may e she wants to experience pregnancy, would you be ok with a sperms donor? You may find someone you really want to have kids with, in which case you may have to do a reversal. Ask the dr about all the options.

Chances are you won't change your mind, but you might, life is a funny thing. Have a plan and maybe even write a letter to your future self. What's your reasoning?

Your body your choice but this is a big decision, so think it through

Eeeeeeep, yeah that's super rough. Im sorry this person ended up being such garbage. I would recommend a chat with your dr, especially if your feelings persist. Im glad her family helped you out ❤️ and keep active for more good things to come. Sometimes the trash takes itself out, and her absence will create a space for more good to come into your life. Im so sorry she didn't turn out to be the person you thought she was, but please be optimistic for the future. Even though right now it seems impossible

I had to stop reading this because I was reading it in his voice and I dont want to.

But thank you, this is well done.

Pattern pls

Omg my brother amd I went to see Rolf Harris when we were kids and he invited my brother onto the stage. So woerd to think of now 😕

About eight months ago I was in a similar place, not quite the same but similar. I ended up getting an online shrink and getting on some SSRIs. Im off them now, but still doing therapy. I feel so much more energy, so much more hope, i started crafting again! And having plans for the future! Sometimes our brain needs a little reset, or chemical kick up the bum. Ssris dont have to be a permanent solution they can just help with the reset if you want

If you're already on ssris change the type or the dose. You can also change your dr.

Side story: it took me a long time to even get to the stage where I was able to admit I was struggling, and when I did I thought obviously prescribed amphetamines were the answer so I reached out to a adhd friend to get her Dr's info. I had the initial consultation with him and he said I had unresolved trauma and depression advised me to seek a therapist and put me on Lexapro. I always get psychiatrist and psychologist mixed up, so I made an appointment for another drug Dr thinking she was a talk therapist. She listened to me and advised I take an as needed anti-anxiety drug (proponolol) and the ssri effexor. (Later she also prescribed me remeron for libido/orgasm side effects of effexor). I then went into marriage counseling and the first session the marriage counselor suggested she and I have one on ones. I say all this to say: you are allowed more than one dr, more than one drug and multiple types of help. I am now on no drugs, but am keeping up the therapy, single and marriage. I feel 1000× better and my journey, though still ongoing, seems accomplishable.

TLDR: you can have more than one doctor

Thank you, I needed this

Nanny state

Which schools did you go to? I never heard of this. Maybe im a little younger and that's it. Maybe it's an England/USA thing. I was 16 in 2000.

Also the shift of the acceptable age range of a romeo/Juliette situation is a little different from a bunch of 40+ yo rich guys shipping some tweens to a remote island for any reason.

There are jobs.

Im a flight attendant and work 72 hrs a month, my husband is a professor and is in front of a class 60 hrs a month.

(My husband and I certainly both came from privileged backgrounds (say middle class ish) and both got degrees that although our parents didn't pay for they gave us resources - either way I wouldnt say our lifestyle is unobtainable)

Having said all that...in general you're correct. Our case is certainly an outlier. We can't all be flight attendants

Edit: our parents aren't dead yet, but when they do pop off they each have a house we will get a share of (to your point)
