Every Sunday was D&D night for me; she had only heard about what freaking goobers D&D players were & had no idea what a game was like, just what the rumors were. But she tagged along, because I said "Well, this is what I do every Sunday, so..." she tagged along & watched.
After the 2nd Sunday, on the way back to my apt she said "I wanna roll up a character."
She played every game from then on out & she LOVED it...too bad we all just grew up/moved away/lost touch over the years! I still have all my books & every now and then we'll bust out the character sheets & reminisce.

I have 2 wonderful dogs, they're brother and sister, 1 litter apart.
Cozmo is black and white cow print, Lilly is white and apricot.
They're both Yorkie Bears. Cozmo is on the large size, 14 lbs and Lilly is on the small size at 6 lbs.
My brother calls them cats.0 -

Golden retriever. (Hopefully the picture works. Doing this from my phone)

I am so happy you got help! Through being overweight my whole life and bullied, I was still ALWAYS very mentally stable. (Arrogance runs in my family!) After I had my second child, I became a completely different person. I was angry ALL THE TIME. I treated my three year old son sooo bad. One day, when the baby was about 6 months old, I raged out on my 3yo to the point that I physically hurt him. I immediately lock myself in the bathroom and called my husband to come home from work. That very day, we went to our GP, who diagnosed me with severe post-partum depression, even though I was not sad, but angry. I took antidepressants and joined a post-partum support group and the change back to my old self was almost immediate. To this day, I still harbor so much guilt over hurting my son and I will NEVER forget the look in his eyes when it happened. It was a complete look of betrayal. I don't think he remembers it and I have never told anyone this story before. I am so glad this is a no judgement zone, because now that I have brought the memories back up, I feel about the worst human being ever.
When our third was born, I also had PPD, but we knew to watch for the signs and made sure to get on anti-depressants right away...my awesome husband also insisted that I get out at least once a week, for a couple of hours without the baby.
PPD is serious. I'm glad it has really come into the public eye.
I had some major issues after kid 1 and didn't seek help for fear someone would "take him away". I sincerely thought I was going insane. I sought some help after trying to deal with it myself for a long time.
After kid 2 I had PPD again and even had some history on file from kid 1, but I don't feel like my healthcare professionals took it seriously. At 6 weeks postpartum I flat out failed the "mental health" exam at my appt and I knew I would. But all they did was put me on the phone with a crisis line who confirmed that I wasn't going to hurt myself or the baby and they sent me on my merry way.
I would dread having a third child and would not because those were dark days for my mind

There used to be this girl who worked at a diner I would frequent in NJ. Her face was unreasonably flat, so we glossed her "hit in the face with a brick girl." Well one day, she got a boyfriend, and we couldn't help but overhear her talking about her boyfriend and how great he was, so we started calling her boyfriend Mason, because what do mason's do?
THEY LAY BRICKS.0 -

I get that. My whole life was raising kids. I was a single mother for 20 years, give or take. I had no clue what to do with myself when my daughter first moved out.
Also, for me, it's harder to maintain fitness when I don't have so many things to do. I used to have to schedule my workouts and make myself do it or there wouldn't be another time. Now that I don't have the responsibility of kids, I can procrastinate until I talk myself out of it altogether.0 -

All of my knowledge of D&D comes from Big Bang Theory tv show.
I'm a failure as an engineer, I don't like anything nerdy. I did raise 2 serious gamers, though, so there's that.0 -

LOL that is awesome.
I confess that this morning I ground enough coffee for at least half a week at work (I use the re-usable k-cup) and used all of it throughout the day. It's been that kind of day.
I also confess my "lunch" was 4 doughnut holes and a cookie. And one of those cups of coffee.0 -

I can't watch The Big Bang Theory, I've tried, merely to look at the collectibles in their comic book store. One episode I watched, they had the entire run of the Green Lantern Blackest Night figures on the wall. I need them. Especially Blue Lantern Flash with the Metallic paint.
My problem with the show, while they're "into" the stuff I'm into, it just feels forced and fake, which it is, it's a script. When I talk about stuff I'm into, I inflect the passion I feel for the stuff I'm talking about. So I just sit there, "poser, poser, poser, poser."0 -
I confess that I relate more to the 'single dog ladies' on this thread. My husband and I have 2 dogs and a cat, and no immediate plans to change that.
We play D&D every Friday night, or try to, and we are each others' best friend.0 -

I was so scared when I was expecting the fourth, but was pleasantly surprised to show absolutely no symptoms with her.0 -
Hugs to both of you! That's tough. One of my friends' sisters had post puerperal psychosis. Very scary. Hormones can be brutal.ladybuggnorris wrote: »

A lot of you are baring really deep stuff. Seeing the kindness and support here is like a breath of fresh air. I'm inspired to confess something I haven't told anyone. It will feel sooo good to get off my chest.
My main motivation for getting in shape and losing weight is that I'm still in love with my ex boyfriend. We've been friends for 13 years, dated for two, and I broke up with him about a year ago. He is exactly the kind of man I want to be with, but I broke up with him because I never believed that he was in love with me. There were lots of reasons I felt that way and I tried to work out those issues with him, but every time he would just say "I'm just not good enough for you", and nothing would get resolved.
So here's how I picture it in my mind. I'm going to get super hot and he's going to tell me he can't live without me and we're going to live happily ever after and have 1 million beautiful red headed babies...
OR
I'm going to get super hot, he's still going to be super uninterested, but I'll be super hot so it won't matter and I'll be able to move on.
Phew I'm so glad I got to tell someone. My friends would all tsk me for having feelings for a guy that they feel wasn't the one for me. And double tsk for all the times he broke my heart.0 -
Never mind I give up on trying to quote posts from my phone.
I fail.0 -
Now it's quiet here and I'm kind of embarrassed by my last post.0

Don't be. You're amongst friends, even if we're not all here at the moment. I think we all have a secret motivation, even if it's just a little thing.

My boyfriend just sent me some chocolate and candy from England (he's there, I'm in the US) and I already hid it away so I wouldn't binge on it. One day I can touch it, but not for quite a while!
Kinda sad that I have to hide the food not to eat it...0
