Man, today fkn sucked. I’ve been home for an hour and I still have this lingering anxiety buzz.

I don’t think I’ve ever had an anxiety episode like this before—it just built up from a bunch of things all at once.

I went to my cousin’s going-away thing at my sister’s house. She has two dogo argentinos and two yorkies, and she scheduled it right at my baby’s bedtime, which already had me wondering if I should even go. But I made a banner, so I went to drop it off.

I get there, I’m starving, she had said she was going to have pizza so I came hungry —but it never came while I was there. Meanwhile, one of the big male dogs kept barking at my 15-month-old, especially when my sister held baby, I saw the doggo did a fake bite at his legs. Then one of the yorkies kept trying to nip at him whenever I set him down to walk.

And then my BIL says I should just let him get bit because “it’s going to happen eventually.” I just walked away and ignored him

At that point, my anxiety just started building. People kept talking to me and I could barely focus on what they were saying. I couldn’t put my baby down because the dogs would rush him, and my sister kept saying I needed to get him used to it.

Finally, I was just like, okay, I’m ready to go. It was already an hour past his bedtime anyway. My sister asked me to wait another 15 minutes for the pizza, but I said no. As we’re leaving, my husband says, “You always freak out”when I apologize for wanting to leave so abruptly. I knew he was enjoying himself—which is ironic because earlier today he told me I’m too calm when the baby gets hurt.

I ended up crying on the drive home. He didn’t notice because it was dark.

I’m still processing everything. I don’t feel like I was overreacting for not trusting those dogs around my baby… but now I’m second-guessing myself.

So my baby, especially during the morning when we are getting ready to go out, the door will cry for everything unless I give him a snack. I don’t want him to cry to tell me that he wants something so what I’ve started doing is ignoring him or I tell him no crying if you want a banana say banana

I think I’m just overstimulated

I had a miscarriage 10m PP and decided to take a break from trying since I felt I needed to physically heal but now I’m started to miss being able to go to date nights or concerts . Part of my problem is there isn’t trust worthy people who can baby sit. But I still feel sad to think of my baby growing up an only child.

Anyone else struggling with this decision?

It’s a new shop that moved into the old De Leon Bakery space off Chapman and Cornell. It was honestly nice to see a place that had been sitting empty come back to life. For the first couple of weeks, I’d see the OPEN sign lit up during my 7:30am commute, but there was never anyone inside. This week, though, the sign hasn’t been on at all, which makes me wonder if they’re already struggling.

I checked them out online and the cakes look really good, but I’m curious if anyone has actually gone in yet and can share how it is.
