I've tried so many times over the last 6 months to get my 2.5 year old to try the potty. If I try to put him on the potty, he cries and says he's scared. If I try to put underwear on him, he cries and kicks and screams until I give up. I've told him that mommy, daddy, his grandparents, uncles, cousins, and literally anyone else he loves/respects uses the potty. He's seen me use the toilet more times than I can count. I've tried rewards/bribes.

I've even tried just letting him go completely naked from the waist down and he gets upset when I do that. Now, he won't even wear shorts over his diaper because he thinks they're underwear. It's starting to get warm out and I don't want him to be uncomfortable in the summer.

We have a potty book that he enjoys reading but once we get to the part where they get rid of the diapers, he gets upset and starts saying "Noooo! Don't get rid of the diapers! Hi diapers!"

It just feels like he's never going to make any progress. Has anyone else dealt with this?

I'm getting started on Ozempic soon and am looking for some meal ideas.

To lose weight, I've typically stuck to a low carb (<25g) diet. I'm wondering if being on a GLP-1 can allot me a few extra carbs.

What are some lower carb meal ideas that you swear by?

I'm almost 31F, 270lbs. Over the last 5.5 years I have lost and gained the same 40-60lbs more times than I can count.

I never really considered taking Ozempic until recently and decided to make an appointment with my doctor for a prescription. I asked my doctor's assistant if her patients have reported any issues and she said she can't recall anyone having problems and that they seemed to all have good experiences.

However, I have pretty bad health anxiety (pretty much directly related to my weight) and I keep finding myself getting more and more apprehensive about it. I keep reading about people experiencing stomach paralysis and other scary side effects.

Are these super common? Is there any way to prevent them?

This post isn’t me looking for attention from creepy men, I’m genuinely looking for some insight/advice/anecdotes/anything because I am quite bewildered.

My child’s father and I broke up a little over a month ago. I’ve been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster since then. One week I’m sad/depressed, the next week I’m happy and excited, the week after that I’m angry. This week, for some unknown reason, I’m the horniest I’ve been in a long time.

The sexual relationship between my ex and I wasn’t great. I had a hard time getting aroused with him and sex became a chore over time, especially towards the end. I kind of accepted that my sex drive was permanently broken. When we broke up, sex was the furthest thing from my mind. I was ready to be celibate.

However, now I can’t stop thinking about sex. Specifically sex with previous hookups/flings that I haven’t spoken to in nearly a decade. I guess because they were the last people I was with before my ex? I don’t know. I feel psycho feeling like this because these people aren’t anything to me and haven’t been for a long time. I just can’t stop thinking about the last really good sex I’ve had.

I’m obviously not going to act on my urges, there are much more important things going on right now. I’m just wondering if this is normal. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I feel crazy right now.
