  1. So happy for all of you! Thanks for letting us know. Hope he feels back to normal physically soon and starts healing emotionally as well.
  2. It's all so heartbreaking and tragic. I get so emotional and feel physically ill when I think about what happened and what is happening. I can't imagine what it's like for anyone involved.
  3. I'm sending positive thoughts, too and am sorry he's suffering physically and emotionally. Betrayal is hard to get through. 😞 And you never want to see your child heartbroken. Hope he improves and can go home tomorrow. Hugs to both of you.
  4. I'm sorry. It's so frustrating to have something wrong and not have anyone figure out what it is so it can be diagnosed and treated.
  5. I have a bunch too. Bought a large amount on Amazon with a deal.
  6. That's awful - so concerning and frustrating. I'm sorry. 😞
  7. I had a cockatiel when I was younger that I named Dudley because I was told it was male, but it was actually female. No name ideas - I'm terrible with that but I love many of the above suggestions! 🙂
  8. Sending lots of positive thought to your cousin.
  9. I looked again and they show a photo of someone using the tweezer to remove hair from the bowl... ETA - I don't need to know what the "something else" would be!
  10. What in the world is the tweezer for? I feel kind of dumb for asking... "Invisible Tweezer: Pull out tweezers, easy to remove hairs and something else
  11. Thanks! We don't have a Costco here but my son is a member so I can have stuff shipped. I'll take a look. Thank you to everyone - lots of great ideas! @popmom ds2 is a Sam's club member so I'll check those out in addition to all the other recommendations! 🙂
  12. We need new toilet bowl brushes w/holders for our bathrooms. I started to look online and got overwhelmed with so many choices so I thought I'd check here and see if anyone has a kind they recommend before I spend too much time doing research on this.
  13. Excellent point! This is why I love coming to WTM for help. So much wisdom and support. ❤️
  14. Beth, have you had your hypothalamus checked? I have hypothalamus dysfunction due to the ED (I suspect) and this happened to me years ago when I was anorexic. I am wondering if it is causing our sleep issues as well as other problems.
  15. She is! That's a very interesting idea! She's shy/introverted/passive so I don't know if she'd be comfortable doing that, but I love it!
  16. It's a remote internship and everyone in the company is working remotely so it would have to be email. I suppose she could email the intern coordinator and then cc the people she's worked with and say what a wonderful experience it was and she appreciates the time everyone spent with her?
  17. Well, that's the problem - she doesn't have a supervisor. It's kind of a weird internship. She's been working with multiple people but doesn't report to anyone directly.
  18. Dd was fortunate to be offered a wonderful summer internship. At the end of the internship, should she write thank yous to each person she worked with? I thought it would be nice for her to express appreciation but she's worked with so many people this summer, it would take a lot to write a separate thank you to each individual. It didn't occur to me to have my older kids write thank yous after their internships and they didn't and it didn't hurt them in any way (two were hired for jobs at their companies after graduation), but now I wish they had anyway.
  19. I'm sorry you are struggling so much! @Tanaquiis right that you are not willful and resistant - just suffering from a very stubborn and complex mental illness. I also have atypical anorexia and have terrible terrible insomnia. My situation is different than yours, but I can relate to so much of what you are going through. I don't want to go into too much detail and derail your thread, so I'll just send hugs and tell you that I have an enormous amount of respect for you because you keep trying and don't give up. That takes a lot of courage and determination and strength. I know how discouraging and distressing and defeating this is, yet you keep going and continue to seek help. Give yourself a pat on the back for your accomplishments and try not to be too hard on yourself for mistakes (that's not the word I want to use, but I can't think of the right one). Take it day by day, hour by hour, or even minute by minute. It's a tough battle. That's wonderful about how well your son is doing. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best.
  20. Thank you. We are hoping that things quiet down in September. The next two months are going to be brutal as far as family commitments/obligations. So, we just have to hang in there and then reconnect. We're good partners (thank goodness), but we need to focus on each other and our marriage and just haven't had the time to do that. I'm so glad that your DH was so determined to keep the marriage and that you made it through. ❤️ Thank you again for sharing your experience and wise advice.
