So.... my husband's parents are hoarders and I've never been to their house but our daughter has. She's 3 years old. We have a little boy on the way and I just don't know if I want my kids going over there especially if I'm not allowed to.. Idk how bad the situation is and I know my husband is embarrassed. I've never talked to my in laws about it. They make me uncomfortable as is. I have been distant from them for the last couple months.
Was watching one of those sort of horridly-fascinating shows last night on TV that is about hoarders, except this one is about pet hoarders. They visited a couple's house who had 24 cats. The vet who was talking to the couple and she went into the room where the catboxes were, and commented on the smell, and she had handheld meter that she set down on the floor. It measured ammonia in the air.
Before this pregnancy I used to keep a very very clean house. Like, show room model home clean. And literally I swear the day of conception the lazy a s s switch turned on because i can't think of anything less enticing than sweeping or picking up. Anyone else experienced this? I need to figure something out because I used to be so tidy and I'm only in my 1 trimester and if it keeps going in like this I'm gonna be on the next episode of hoarders!
But even despite them, I love that show! That is like the only show now I watch regularly on tv. I HATE reality tv.
Anyways, everyone brought up some good inaccuracies of the show. I have a couple to point out. In regards to the MRI , which we can all agree doctors do NOT sit there and stare at the computer screen while we are in the machine, the thing that I want to point out is that an MRI machine is basically a giant magnet.
I am going to be a single parent and reality is now setting in. Im starting to get really scared because I dont know what to expect. Im asking for a little insight ladies.
who has been stupid and ashamed to show my face on this site. I want to quit for good not matter what the stress my job/life brings. Sorry for being such a flip flopper.
It's good that you are so conserned, but the reality is that just because a person is messy and lives in filth, doesn't mean that they suffer from any form of mental illness, including depression or anxiety.
I have a coulple friends that are absolute slobs, but they are very well adjusted, successful, and mentaly healthy people.
For example: I suffer from off the chart Severe Depression, and yet my home and car are absolutly spotless. Almost to the point of perfection.
t even hit my detox date yet, but I feel like the reality of it all has just set in. I was so positive this weekend, and I was looking forward to my new life when all is said and done, and I am clean. Then, I started really thinking about everything today. This was my last weekend with the pills. My detox date is intching closer. Will being off the pills change me? Will I stop loving the people I love? Did the pills give me the allusion of loving them, but sober I won't love them anymore?
Hello all, here in about an hour will be my 1 month marker clean off opiates!! I feel great about that, still a little off but doing just fine. Anyways I know the first 21 days were because of withdrawal symtpoms and what not, but now this depression feeling I get just leaves me guessing. I figure my body is just still going through withdrawals I know that I am cause of how high my anxiety was today.
Seven full days down---no relapse....pushing on. Ive been inspired by others posts, but the reality is that I took this poison for almost a full year --- I'm not going to be feeling back to normal in a week, or two or even a month for that matter. Shifting my focus to the long term.
-T.
