I just realized another UO after seeing a friend's status on facebook... I get unreasonably upset and angry when people say those with anxiety/depression/ptsd shouldn't take medication for it. Some say they need to "tough it out" or that there are natural cures... If a person wants to go that route that's fine it's their choice, but don't go looking for them.
My UO is that when I see things like the post (copy/pasted) below I wish I could actually throw a brick at them. A real brick. Maybe with a rusty nail stuck in it. Maybe they also have a natural cure for tetanus. I would take a night in jail (would probably be more than one) for assault with a deadly brick before I ever let this guy talk to my friends or family. Backstory is that on average 22 veterans and 1 active duty member commits suicide every day. I've lost too many friends (and almost myself) to that, and it's not much better on the civilian side (my mom tried, but luckily was found and didn't succeed). PTSD wasn't mentioned in the post but I bet if I messaged him he would say it works... I am beyond brick throwing angry and I feel like that's probably wrong of me to feel like this. Is my opinion of wanting to throw objects unreasonable? Maybe I'm just taking this too personal. I'm considering messaging him to see what his "natural way" is. Sorry for the ramble... so mad.
My friend's post: If you're suffering from anxiety or depression and are prescribed medication... Please contact me and l will help you do it the natural way. You'll feel so much better and not have any side effects like you do with prescribed medication.
And the QFP thing... I read it both ways every time.
And what's more terrible is that people with real, diagnosed struggles will take him up on it. I hate how taboo mental health is. People would rather believe there's a magic answer than be reminded that they need daily chemicals/therapy, etc to help balance their brain. That and the cost. This shit is probably selling Herbalife convincing people who genuinely need medication they'd be better off without. Sad, sad stuff. There's a certain place in hell for people who exploit others serious problems for their own gain.
That would be infuriating to read. I'm sorry for what you have previously been through. I have an issue with people who jump on the lifestyle/health coaching bandwagon, because they have zero qualification to be doctoring, counseling the public. Suggesting someone forgo medical treatment or consultation for a pseudo health coach is so dangerous.
Thank you. I ended up sending him a message (and was nice) and what he's recommending is vitamins. I know about a couple of them, and they are actually good for mood, but not an actual treatment for more severe issues. I think there's a big misunderstanding between actual depression/anxiety and sometimes being moody. I know he means well, so I'm calming down... I think I'm just upset. A couple weeks ago I visited the chapel where my friend's service was... I hadn't been there since that day. I think I'm just still a bit raw from that. And yes, totally agree it's absolutely dangerous.

Clomid round 1 starting: 4FEB2016 = No ovulation Clomid round 2 starting: TBD... whenever AF decides to show up, or I have to take Provera again
My UO today is based on this article, which has really been on my mind. I am not interested in hiding that I'm TTC from the people I care about. I'm not, like, discussing it with my students and coworkers or anything, but I don't mind discussing it with my close friends. I actually think I feel more relaxed about it because I can be honest about things.
I understand that some people are more private than I am, and I 100% get that it's each woman's personal prerogative whether or not to tell people their business. But what I don't get is this Fight Club aspect of TTC. People act like I'm either brave or insane (or both) for wanting to talk about this with my mom or my best friends. Like, am I supposed to be ashamed that my wonderful husband and I want to create a little human of our own? It's a biological imperative, yo! And I think it's weird and sort of fucked up that I am expected to hide it.
What I think is weird about that is how people are apparently supposed to hide that they're TTC but it's totally okay to ask someone when they're having children. It seems to me that TTC should be off-limits in "polite conversation" because it is essentially talking about sex. And in this scenario it's also off-limits in "polite conversation" to ask people when/if they're having children because it's essentially asking about their sex life. OR People should feel okay about asking if/when you're having children but they should also be totally cool with you talking about how you're TTC. I just don't understand how you can mix and match those. But that's just me.

I'm sure this will be unpopular, but I think it's kind of weird that people lurk around this board after getting KU. I mean I know that people can read whatever posts they want, and I get that the old regs want to see people get their BFPs. But pregnant people reading and chiming in on random posts? Idk, makes me feel kinda like this is the freak show of people who haven't been able to get KU yet. I'm probably being sensitive. But that's my UO.
I think I may have just seen a recent thread with an example of this. I think I sit somewhere in the middle.
Posts like the one I just saw that arent educational or helpful, but are just jumping into a random convo about something sit funny with me too. Particularly when that person was here on TTGP for around 5 mins before they got to move on to their BMB.
Then on the other hand if the day ever comes when I am KU I will definitely be rooting for my friends still trying. But I would try to refrain from actually posting here unless I thought it was really necessary and I definitely wouldnt join into GTKY type threads as I dont think its appropriate.
But I find it shocking that @Lulucooks mentioned people on BMB's are calling people TTGP sad for posting on their boards. I dont know why they might be posting but they most likely wanted to ask for advice right? To call someone sad because they aren't KU yet is so cruel. I really hope that wasn't one of the long standing TTGP'ers because they should know better.
I do like to check on a couple of people to see their pregnancy progressing because I'm so happy for them. I havent found it necessary to post there though. The odd love tit is sufficient.
The few times its happened (that I saw) is because of a troll starting the "oh they aren't even KU yet, so don't worry about their opinion" nonsense. Usually TTGP ladies don't post their own thread, but rather those TFAS will chime in if someone has asked for advice, though I try to keep it very specific and only answer if I'm sure my answer could help or provide a different view. I agree that to call us sad is ridiculous and ends up with me posting about my barren womb on their thread, because I'm passive aggressive like that.
I think the issue comes from forgetting that these are public forums and while it's easy to make connections, you never know who is watching or what their intent is. Which is why it may seem odd, but it's really very common. Think for every poster there's likely 2 lurkers, not all TTGP.

I agree with this. I noticed today a lurker randomly inserted herself into a random convo which was unnecessary. I can understand grads checking in on others or posting helpful info, but this was a very random topic. I do lurk BMBs sometimes to learn or get more information about things, but I never post.

And I think it's weird and sort of fucked up that I am expected to hide it.
I'm super secretive about it, but only because my mother is now a crazy person. She used to be this wonderful, amazing mom (and freaking awesome nurse!), but several years back got hooked on pain killers and alcohol. It was bad, and is still going on. But anyway, all the pills and booze has damaged her mentally... she's not the same person anymore, at all.
If we get KU, I won't tell her until second tri. She's just really, really crazy. Like, when my sister-in-law was pregnant she actually said that she (my mother) should find something to make her produce breastmilk so that she could babysit and have the baby all the time. She was serious. She also held my newborn niece after just being diagnosed with MRSA (she didn't tell anyone). Oh, and she had JUST gotten home from the hospital from having major back surgery. She was told she could only hold my niece while she was sitting down (she had tripped and fallen many, many times in the short time after coming home). They found her holding my niece while walking in the nursery when my niece had been put down for a nap. Then she cried and played victim to EVERYONE (like always...). There are SO many things she's done like this.
I just wouldn't be able to handle her if she knew we were trying. My body would probably refuse to work (TTC wise) if she knew. "No ovulation for you." It would be nice to be able to actually talk to people (out loud) about it.

@NovaSaysNo Have you checked out Toxic Mom Toolkit on FB yet? It's wonderful. I had a mom-divorce a little over a year ago and it was the best thing ever.
@NovaSaysNo that's horrible, and I definitely understand why you would keep things under wraps because of all that. My beef isn't with people who want to keep TTC a secret - that's your own prerogative. My problem is with people who act like it SHOULD be a big secret, and they act like I'm crazy for talking about it.

Mu UO is that I am REALLY not into maternity photo shoots. I think they are cheesy. I guess a few pics with your SO in some normal pose or something is acceptable....but standing on the beach in some flowy dress with a wreath on your head? Or your hands making a heart on your belly? NOPE.
**potential qbf...?**
I guess my UO is that I actually love the first picture. Not so much the belly-heart one, but definitely love the flowy dress on the beach! Now, I have no idea what I would actually DO with such a photo of myself because I'm not sure I would want to frame it in my house.

TW's are just polite. It's not always used to avoid the topic but rather to prepare yourself for the topic. You can better react to a post about something triggering if you know it's coming vs stumbling across it mid sentence once you've already started reading.

In face to face conversation, people generally can gauge your reaction - if you look uncomfortable, or if you cut them off, you can shape the course of the discussion. In online forums, that's not possible in the same way because the comment gets made in its entirety regardless of how it's received. You also don't know who is reading and what their experiences have been, whereas talking about potentially sensitive topics in real life is usually with people you know better or in a context where one might expect that topic. So like @Lulucooks said, I think it's mostly just a polite heads up so people can be prepared for the topic at hand.

Thing is, a lot of things that are TWs for people aren't really things that tend to get brought up face-to-face with strangers. And I come here mostly to relax, so I appreciate not having to deal with those things if I so choose. I typically read anyway, but it helps to at least mentally prepare myself before reading. It's way worse when caught off guard.
It varies a lot by site, too. I'd imagine a BFP wouldn't call for a TW for a lot of sites. At the same time, I used to be on a site that happened to have a lot of emetophobes, including myself at the time, so it got to be common for a warning to be put on any posts that mentioned it. It's just polite and frankly, I can't stand when people are all THERE'S NO TWS IN REAL LIFE! Um, yeah, I know. But I come onto forums partially to escape real life, so it's nice to be able to avoid those things as much as possible. Especially mentions of things that are traumatic like abuse or suicide. But bully for you that you don't have any triggers that turn you into a heap.

I guess when I signed up for this forum there were certain things I expected, certain subjects I thought came with the territory - losses, positive test results, long TTC struggles, acronyms I cant google etc. I fully expected to be faced with sensitive subjects, so the TW took me by surprise. I do have triggers -- you just never know what a trigger is for the next person.. so I get it and I know everyone is different. And I will always respect other forum goers and add mine in if needed.

There was a poll a while back about trigger warnings where the community voted on how to proceed. I'm sure if you searched you could find it. We only decided a few TTC topics were necessary, otherwise common sense applies (serious issues, that would upset anyone)
I feel like we do give *TW*s in real life conversations. They're phrases like, "So, this isn't easy to talk about", "Can I ask you a personal question?", "Promise you won't get mad..." and countless others. Not to mention voice tonality, body language, and facial expressions when broaching difficult topics in person. In real life, the listener has several cues to brace herself for a not-so-fun topic. What I'm trying to get at is that I really appreciate the TWs around here. Honestly I wish I could just say "trigger warning" to people in real life...

I feel like we do give *TW*s in real life conversations. They're phrases like, "So, this isn't easy to talk about", "Can I ask you a personal question?", "Promise you won't get mad..." and countless others. Not to mention voice tonality, body language, and facial expressions when broaching difficult topics in person. In real life, the listener has several cues to brace herself for a not-so-fun topic. What I'm trying to get at is that I really appreciate the TWs around here. Honestly I wish I could just say "trigger warning" to people in real life...
