I’m looking for a great place to celebrate my birthday, not too expensive, with great food and ambiance. We have 3 teen girls going too. Where can we go that has a menu with lots of options and won’t break the bank?

I slipped up last night. Threw up twice and still feel so sick. Sweating profusely and body aches. I felt awful after smoking. It wasn’t even worth it. I felt like I was going to pass out. I never want to smoke again. It wasn’t worth it. I had made it all the way to day 82 and don’t want to start at day 1 again, so just going to keep going and try to remind myself that I’m human. The guilt is so loud though. 😢

I’m 77 days sober from weed today. I woke up in a pool of sweat because I had an upsetting dream with my ex who contributed to me becoming a pothead being very mean to me. In my dream I smoked and was even aware I was breaking my sober streak. It was a very sad and uncomfortable dream. I’m happily married these days so I don’t know why I am dreaming about a past relationship that caused me so much pain.

I have had many dreams like this where I break my sobriety. Anyone else dreaming about the past and smoking in your dreams?

Hello, I’ve had an issue with fungal infections from nail salons, and so it’s super important to me that tools like drill bits get sterilized/cleaned properly before they are used on me. I often notice that nail techs don’t really do this, even though this is a state requirement for most nail salons. Is there any place in Plano that anyone knows of that actually sterilize their drill bits and tools in between customers?

I need something new to watch. True crime is my favorite genre, but I’m down for anything interesting! Hit me with suggestions please.

My husband’s love language is physical touch. He is obsessed with my boobs especially. He will often stick his hands up my shirt just to feel me and he does it multiple times a day. I tell him I’m annoyed but be does it anyway and makes me feel guilty if I don’t let him. He asks me to lift up my shirt to show him too. Is this normal????? Am I wrong to allow this?

I’m a stepmom (37). My husband (41) goes on these adventure experiences with my stepdaughters that include camping and hiking. These are part of a fathers and daughters/ fathers and sons group he is in with them. The older two (17 and 15) are going with him for 12 days out of state for a mountain climbing adventure. The youngest who is 13 is not part of their age group so she won’t be going. He has pressured me into agreeing to have her stay with me the entire 12 days alone.

He wanted us to go on a trip out of town for a couple of days to a horse riding ranch you can stay at, which has a bunch of experiences made for mothers and daughters to bond, but this would cost over $1k to go. I told him I don’t feel comfortable taking her out of town by myself, especially to a ranch where it’s hot and in the middle of summer, and also I don’t want to spend the money, which he constantly complains about our finances. I usually don’t have a problem with her and I hanging out alone for a weekend, but 12 days is a lot to me.

I asked him if we could just do a weekend and if she could stay at her bio mom’s the rest of the time, but he called that idea stupid and ridiculous because I’ll be passing on a bonding opportunity with her. He said she won’t be 13 forever and we won’t have many opportunities like this. He guilted me into agreeing. I just feel so anxious about it.

I struggle with my mental health and that’s part of it. I’m afraid she will get bored here alone with just me, and I can’t think of many activities to fill the time. I did think about taking her horseback riding at a place I found near town, maybe a sleepover here with one of her friends, ice skating, going to a movie, watching movies at home together, taking her to the mall… idk. I hope it all works out, but I honestly wish I didn’t have to do this. I don’t currently work (am looking for a job) or have a child of my own so that’s another reason he has for me to take her all 12 days.

I just feel guilted and terrible right now. He and the girls have been in my life for 8 years now. We are coming up on 4 years of marriage. I often just get in these moods where I don’t want to parent or have the responsibility. I feel like a terrible, worthless person for feeling all these things, but I do. We have been having marital problems lately over finances and him neglecting me. I often feel he puts his kids first before me, which is fine, but it makes me sad. I never see him put as much effort into our relationship as he does with his daughters. He has at times been emotionally abusive towards me as well, which recently led to me threatening divorce, but we agreed to work through it because we love each other very much.

I don’t know, I’m just venting. I could use some support though. Or maybe some clarity. Is my husband being unfair and unreasonable? Maybe I’m overreacting to all of this and should just continue to bare through the discomfort for the sake of my marriage.

DH (41) goes on these high adventure trek camp outs with my stepdaughters. These are part of a fathers and daughters/ fathers and sons group he is in with them. The older two (17 and 15) are going with him for 12 days to Colorado for a mountain climbing adventure. The youngest who is 13 is not part of their age group so she won’t be going. DH has pressured me into agreeing to have her stay with me the entire 12 days alone.

I just feel guilted and terrible right now. I’m not in a NACHO type of marriage. He and the girls have been in my life for 8 years now. I often just get in these moods where I don’t want to parent or have the responsibility. I feel like a terrible, worthless person for feeling all these things.

I have Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Apple TV. I’m looking for a great documentary to watch, preferably with a good twist or surprise, or just really riveting stuff. I like true crime but I’m into everything. What’s good right now?

I’m going to talk to my doctor about this. He referred me to this clinic and so far I’m not happy with the shared room experience.

I had a private room my first 2 weeks and then they moved me to a room with several other patients. While they do have glass fogged dividers, I can hear everything even with my AirPods on noise cancellation mode. People make so much noise. Last time I was PISSED because I could even hear the nurses outside the room cackling with laughter and talking loudly.

Some guy next to me had his alarm on for the 5 minute timer and he wouldn’t shut it off when it was going off like crazy for what seemed like forever, I had to actually raise my voice and say “can you please turn that off?!”

Some other lady kept coughing and clearing her throat.

Another person was making some weird clicking sound.

I was so mad because I was getting into the zone and it just pulled me right out so the rest of the two hours I couldn’t relax.

Then when treatment was over I asked if I could have my own room again. They said I could talk to the provider about it. Then they called me to tell me they’re denying my request because private rooms are strictly for new patients and patients who have conditions that don’t let them be around others. I was like what in the actual fuck? I want to go somewhere else for treatment. I was crying after that phone call idk why it just sent me into a panic attack. This was days ago and I’m still pissed off about it.

I need better noise cancelation headphones I guess. I’m going to ask if they can put one of those sound machines they have outside each private room in the big room. If I have to deal with other people ruining my treatment again I’m literally going to raise hell.

What happens if you don’t wait 5 min in between Spravato doses and instead do all 3 sprays back to back at the same time? Just curious if anyone has tried this.

Edit: my clinic just hands patients the box and has you self-administer the sprays after they’ve left the room. They come in to do blood pressure and heart rate checks before, after 45 minutes, and at the end of treatment. However, when they give you the box, you’re free to administer yourself and I guess there are cameras watching?

I take 20mg and just started feeling better after 6 weeks of patiently waiting. I want to have a mimosa to celebrate 30 days of sobriety from weed. If I have a single glass of mimosa will it affect me much? I plan on limiting myself to a single drink when I socialize with friends, which isn’t very often, or on a special occasion like my birthday. Maybe on an occasional date with my husband? Lexapro is the only thing I’m taking.

I noticed all of my pickup items had a close “sell by” date. Like for example my tortillas were a day away from their sell by date, and so was my pre marinated chicken, grass fed ground beef, and meal simple meals. Is this done on purpose by employees? I’m never picking up again.

Any tips to relieve my anxiety about my first session? I’m just so nervous. I don’t like hallucinating. I’ve had horrible experiences in the past on substances and I guess I just worry about a bad trip or worse, that it won’t work.

A little about me… I have been struggling with MDD since I was 12 years old. I am treatment resistant. I did 6 rounds of TMS and was able to get off all my medication, but then I relapsed last November. I was put on cymbalta and abilify and it was a bad combo for me, so my doctor got me off of it which triggered horrible withdrawals.

I was then put on Lexapro 6 weeks ago. It had done nothing for me up until the last 2 days when I started feeling better and noticed I had less anxiety and depression wasn’t as bad.

27 days ago I quit cannabis after 15 years of abusing it. I’ve gone through withdrawals from that as well, including heavy, heavy depression.

I’ve had bouts of CHS from weed abuse (cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome). I absolutely hate throwing up because of this horrific experience. I was hospitalized for a week on two occasions because of this, which is part of the reason I had to make the decision to quit smoking weed. I already have Zofran for the nausea lined up for my first Spravato session.

Any feedback, advice, or wisdom is appreciated. I am really hoping this works for me. I’ve heard people achieve remission with the help of Spravato, so I am hopeful.

Does this mean it’s not working? I’m on 20 mg. I still cry every day and am anxious every morning when I wake up. I am having trouble sleeping too and have no appetite. I gave up cannabis 26 days ago and it’s been over a month without alcohol as well. Why is it taking so long to feel good and should I start considering alternatives? My doctor wants me to try esketamine and it sounds so intense. I’m scared and worried. I am losing faith and so tired of feeling depressed. I don’t know who I am anymore and never feel any joy. I just want to be happy again.
