My daughter got her first two teeth when she turned 3 months old, almost unheard of. She teethed so early she had almost all her teeth except for 3 or 4 at her 13 month appointment. She turned 18 months a week ago and is now getting the two year molars. Yesterday and today she was screaming bloody murder for 12 hours straight unless I was physically standing up holding her she doesn’t even let me lay down or sit with her. I didn’t even call out of work either to save my time off and somehow i’ve been dealing with it all while working. 30 minute crap nap as well instead of her usual 2 hours. I want to cry. This has just been the week from hell. I’ve done everything including the motrin and tylenol and frozen teether. Is there anything else I can give her? I thought I was an expert of this by now. I’m on the damn struggle bus.

I won’t allow myself to use a big pot to cook food unless guests are coming over because in my brain the big pots are only to be used if i’m cooking for 4 or more people. For years i’ve shoved my husband and I’s food into small pots, causing over boiling, water stains, slower cooking, things spilling out everywhere all because I feel like I don’t deserve to use the big pots to myself. It feels like i’m wasting the life/a use of the big pots by using it for two people. Tonight I boiled pasta in a ‘big pot’ which is a win. Does it feel good? No, it feels like my brain is on fire, that something is deeply wrong and my head is buzzing and I feel deeply disturbed but I’m calling this a win because I still used it and i’m trying to tell my brain to be indifferent.
