Marriage or long term partnership isn’t about passion lasting forever. Its about choosing your partner everyday and always remembering that they are your family, not something that can be discarded. You don’t always like everything your parents or siblings do...but you love them and support them. You don’t just walk…

I’d put it in the same camp as coffee and alcohol. Probably don’t do it everyday and don’t binge when you do it but otherwise, in small doses, safe. If you are smoking it the lack of oxygen is a concern.

Its like breaking down symbolism when your studying a book. The devil is in the details.

Facing backwards... backwards thinking. Symbolism is key.

I promise you’ll get through it!
IBS is terrible and I think it totally caused my anxiety (bc how could you possibly not be anxious about shitting yourself).

I’m wishing you all the calm bowels and sending lots of internet hugs!

I used Gaviscon as a crutch for quite some time. It got to the point where I would take it every time I felt even slightly off. I would panic if I didn’t have it. At some point I decided to wean myself off of it slowly (sloooooowly) and only take it if I felt really bad. After a while I felt secure just having it in…

I totally know what you mean. I have IBS and I would get so nervous about what I was eating or scared that I wasn’t anywhere near a bathroom that I would freak out and give myself diarrhea. It’s gotten much better since I’ve learned how to manage my fear

I wouldn’t say its a peer reviewed diet but my Dr. is this older Russian man(so therefore wise haha) and he just told me to avoid eating things like cabbage and produce that can make you gassy (bc apparently its hard on your digestive system), orange juice (really any acidic juices), greasy food, spice, junk and other…

Yeah,no thanks to weird side effects. Most days I feel 100% great and the days I don’t... I know what I did. hah!

Right?! He’s a salty old Russian man who seems wise so I listen.

I said something similar in another thread buuuuut...

I have IBS and my doctor told me to manage it through diet. He says its because once you start taking meds for IBS you almost never get off them. It worked super well though, so there is that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get what you mean. That would be really hard as an adult. My family introduced my little god daughter to her sister around a year old so they could attempt to normalize it. So far its working-ish. Her mom hates it but ce la vie

I totally loved watching these! Especially before the debate. It cleansed my spirit (if I believed in that) ;)

My god daughters father did this. she has a three week younger half sister. Fun times! Poor you though, their loss really.

Bingo!

URGH!!! That story gets to me!

Only if there was nothing going on. If there was something, you followed your gut. Trust me when I say I regret not following my gut. Our whole relationship he just sort of made me feel like I was the crazy one for not trusting him but I was right. I couldn’t trust him. I’m married now to someone I have never not…

Girl, I feel you so hard. I’m so tense around my mom its crazy. Hugs and cheers to knowing we arn’t alone and we arn’t crazy!

It deserves MOAR!
