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!
If it were me I would not let my children over there if I wasn't allowed. It's simple as that, it's fine if they are embarrassed or what not about it but if it's a problem for me to be there than its a problem for my kids. But don't deprive them, if they want to go to breakfast than go to breakfast. And if they need help offer to help them (of course not while your pregnant).
Hi, I stand corrected. 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.
I suffer from off the chart Severe Depression, and yet my home and car are absolutly spotless. Almost to the point of perfection. I even clean the window jams once a week. A good friend of mine has never had a depressed or anxieous moment in his life but, OMG! He lives in filth so bad that I shutter to step foot in his house from fear of getting a deadly disease. He is the only person I know that actually has cat and dog poop as a permanent fixture of this living room floors.
Holy cow of course this relationship doesn't feel good. That feeling is your inner voice telling you to leave--so listen! A hoarder experiences a great amount of anxiety when faced with the decision to throw something away. They are usually very sentimental persons, and like to keep everything to hold on the memory. Persons who are slobs are just plain lazy and can't be bothered to clean up or throw anything out. Although I think that a lot of hoarders are slobs in some ways as well.
It is primarily our thinking that is sick in the West. Heck, I remember going to a nursing home on Easter. Woman were begging and wailing to let them die, many had outlived everyone they loved and had no reason to go on. The nurses gave them iv and force fed them, we in the West, aren't even allowed to die if we want to, it has to be an 'accident.' That tells you how easy we have it physically.
I hope I am able to help a little here. I am 27 yrs old am now clean from a heavy opiate addiction. I have an average family. Parents have been married 28yrs I have two younger sisters. I was raised in catholic schools, never had so much as a speeding ticket in my life. I started out with oxycotin on a very recreational basis. Before i knew it i was reaching for it in any occassion. I can not tell you how many times I showed up to my parents high or had to leave because I needed to go get drugs.
We've never had any of our dogs not accept our babies. We have five dogs, three kids and another on the way. So I don't think you'll really have a problem either way. I wwouldn't let her in the birthing room though. Dogs have good instincts but just in case you wouldn't want her to get confused and think your midwife is hurting you and attack. it might be ffrightening to the dog to hear you if you're a screamer like me lol.
Hi..
I understand, and you shouldn't get behind the wheel. Do you have anyone that can go out for you? The thing about this is...If you want to get clean and stay clean it's important to be honest with those closest to you. There is no shame...I know it's scary but secrets keep us sick.
Stay hydrated...Drink as much fluid as possible and then drink some more. Try to move around as much as you can. Have lots of hot baths or showers...Pray...Whatever gets you through the moment..
I'm very new to this.. So sorry if I ramble... Basically I've been addicted to heroin for over 3 years... I'm only 23 but I feel like I've wasted so much of my life. My sister moved to the Virgin Islands... And for some reason, somehow I got on a plane and arrived here even though I knew I would withdrawal... I just told my boyfriend back home before I left "oh I'm not quitting it's just one week" but obviously I got here with some guidance.
Haha, thanks for the reassurance about the anti-biotics....it really helps my paranoia
So far, I have been doing a lot of sleeping...a lot. Though I managed to play one song on piano....woot. I'm hoping either today or tomorrow I may be able to do some painting or drawing.
bledpub - I didnt really get much for painkillers either until I asked for them. I remember lying in recovery, them saying they weren't giving me any yet and asking how my pain was.
I did too but treatment is well worth it. Take this time to get yourself clean and when he comes home you can start your life together.
I don't know how you will do it but finding another place to live should be a priority. As long as they are around you will take them. I hope it all works out for you both.
