Please don’t think you did anything wrong. It is not your fault we live in a world where we have to choose between standing up for yourself and keeping a job.

Ughhh Kate’s words really resonate with me today. I was sexually harassed at work by a client this week and had to decide within a split second whether to stand up for myself & possibly lose my job or brush it off so as not to “make a scene.” I chose the latter and it feels like shit.

Was wondering if maybe *that’s why they were so cheap* - (searching in alternate venues).

I can't even be mad at autocorrect for that one.

Really? I actually ended up getting two wedding dresses (I returned one) and both of them were from actual burial shops and cost less than $550.

When I’ve gone wedding dress shopping with my friends, I’ve seen scores of gowns for like $6,000, $8,000 and have laughed my ass off. One friend got the dress of her dreams for about $800 and was really thankful that it fell within her price range. But she was prepared to spend more. Like, wanna add a pretty, sparkly…

H&M bridal dresses for $550? I bought my traditional white wedding gown from a bridal store in 2004 for about that price, including all alterations. Even without this latest trend of every store getting in the wedding game, there have always been cheaper alternatives. I believe Say Yes to the Dress culture has made…

$550 is not budget, $80 is budget for drapes.

Counseling could help. Everyone has different reactions. Hugs to you.

I’m sorry that you’re still overwhelmed. I had counseling after my abortion, it really helps.

There were a lot of things I liked about this: the fact that she said she was relieved (a lot of women are), and the fact that there was no suggestion that she needed to tell the person she slept with about the abortion.

Big hugs. I had one back in December and despite knowing it was the right think, it was a heartbreaking and painful experience I never want to go through again. My husband and I were 100% sure it was the right choice, and yet, the hormones wreaked havoc on me and I was horribly depressed and anxious. Those hormones…

I had an abortion about 2 months ago now; and although abortions are completely legal where I live (UK) there are still so many hoops to jump through that it can be overwhelming. The worst part about the whole experience was having to justify the abortion to a doctor. In the UK you need to have a valid reason for…

Wow, yeah, that’s pretty messed up. Even if you’re perfectly at ease with it all, nobody wants extra/drawn out medical procedures.

I’m sorry for your loss. If you’re interested, here’s a link to Rachel’s Vineyard, which provides services for post-abortive healing to those who regret their decision. Resources and retreats are available across the US and internationally. I pray for you and yours.

I’m sorry. Do you have access to counselling to help you sort through it all, maybe?

Sorry honey. Sending you ❤️❤️❤️

I have a friend who got pregnant the first time she had sex. When she was in college, one of her professors told the class that you could not get pregnant the first time.

This sounds really interesting. Sounds pretty similar to a lot of my friends’ experiences with deciding to get abortions (I’ve never had one)
