2024.04.29 01:58 EuropesNinja The Psychological Impacts of Stuttering

Edit: this is a long read but if you’re struggling I think it might help.
Stuttering can be a struggle, sometimes an unbearable one. Understandably so, it’s difficult. Other people seem to have things so easy, especially when a lot of life is about verbal communication. Forming connections can be tough. Bullying in school especially, school during adolescence especially is brutal. The workplace can be the same but I’ve found most people are relatively understanding, there’s always the one or two though. And it gets easier as you get older to some extent. But it stays a prevalent part of a lot of our lives.
Stuttering can be traumatic, I personally believe it can bring about symptoms of C-PTSD.
We’ve all had situations where we have been humiliated and then at the same time we can’t even defend ourselves. So many moments when we couldn’t even fight back.
There is a powerlessness related to a lot of situations in our lives. These moments of powerlessness are actually traumatic. They leave lasting wounds on our psyche than impact so many aspects of our lives. These situations can reduce self esteem, can lead to self image issues and even depression. Social anxiety and social isolation can also be a major consequence.
We dig ourselves into a hole, especially because a stutter can be unpredictable, will today be easier than yesterday? We can even make life decisions based on our stutter. Choosing a career path based on what job will have the least social interaction. The hole can get deep.
If you’re reading this and struggling, during some of my adolescence I was a very severe stutterer. To the point that singular sentences could take 5 minutes to finish. Complete exhaustion after even interacting with my family. Constantly checking the dictionary for easier words to use. I can understand the darkest places with a stutter. It can be demoralising and exhausting.
I’ve been there and I’ve come out of it. My stutter has improved over the years by putting a lot of effort into challenging the fear related to stuttering. But the most improvement I’ve had is when I’ve begun dealing with the psychological aspects.
Finding a good therapist you relate to and researching the form of therapy you think would work best for you is game changing. It takes a while to find the right therapy type and you might need to shop around for therapists. But, once you get professional help psychologically - things get so much easier. If you can’t afford therapy, find books written by licensed therapists. I especially recommend trauma-informed therapy related books. Most of us who lack self esteem issues and depression need to work on what is freezing you in the emotional state you are in. “The Body Keeps the Score” is a great place to start, also Dr Gabor Mate has a lot of great speeches.
If you can work on the lack of self worth, the inner critic, your confidence, and mental health generally, your stutter begins to weigh less on the soul.
There’s a lot of misinformation around therapy, but there are a lot of therapists out there who really try and understand your world. A good therapist will actually make you come to realisations yourself.
There’s a world where stuttering doesn’t have to impact your choices any more, or your mental health. You can build around it, it is possible to get past it. Because at the end of the day you just have a stutter, it’s just the cards that have been dealt. But improving your mental health and life irregardless of it is important. It’s difficult, it takes time, but it does and will get better if you dedicate yourself to it.
You deserve a voice, everyone does, and you deserve to be heard regardless of how you say it or how long it takes to say. Improving your life regardless of it and getting professional help for mental health will allow you to internalise the following idea - “I deserve love, kindness and respect regardless of the how I communicate. And people who don’t have patience and understanding for me are undeserving of my attention”.
At the end of the day there’s two choices, you can try and do everything you can to improve what you can change (your mental health) or continue to focus on what you cannot change (your stutter). The latter option can cause us to not live our life the way we want to, and it would be unfortunate to miss the one opportunity we do have on this planet.
Honestly as well, improving my mental health has made speaking much more relaxed now. I still stutter, but at least the embarrassment and anxiety is manageable or sometimes non-existent.
If anyone wants to chat about this all further feel free to DM. I just thought I’d give some helpful words to those struggling because I really feel for you.

2024.04.29 01:58 Natural-Gene-2193 Aitah for tell my mom that I'll probably move out before my bestfriend does after moving her in.

I (19 year old female ) told my best friend(19 year old female) lets call her Ruby of 8 years that her and her mom let's call her Kelly (40 year old female) could stay with me for a while, after her dad kicked them out (he's just crazy and thought she was cheating but she wasnt). (This Is a little bit of more context from my last post I made)
Anyways I asked my mom if they could say with us just long enough for them to get a place. And my mom is a really nice person and she said ok. This was in August of 2023. As of now they don't help out much and Kelly broke her food a few months ago lost her job and didn't work for 3 months. She just started back working again But her and my mom had become good friends. Kelly helps with groceries when she gets food stamps. She helps my mom wash dishes when she can and gives my mom Company.(which I think she needs)
my mom is home all the time ( Except when she helps me bring kelly and rudy to work) because she is own disability for her back. She's okay she just can't be on her feet fir a long period of time, so she gets disability money.
Rudy don't have her licenses Nether does her mother. About four months ago she bought a car so that she could practice driving in it and my mom could bring her and her mom to work but she never practices. She has Her permit but she don't care. She lives here, rent free. They say you're looking for an apartment and that they're on waiting Lists but I don't know.
me and my boyfriend of Almost 2 year are in a good place and he has saved up for us to get a house togetther we should have enough in about a year. And I was just talking to my mom and said at these point ima be out of here before they are. And she said "you can't leave them with me" I said "well ill have to move out at some point and hopefully they are gone soon any ways." She said "yeah but we can't just kick them out on the side of the road and you can't leave till they do"
She is a little upset at me now so aitah.

2024.04.29 01:57 melane929 Maybe coming home!

I graduated from NU in 1997. While in high school I lived on Zion St and walked into downtown every day. I so loved it! I used to play in the Nevada County Concert Band and performed in Pioneer Park frequently, spent hours at Cafe Mecca, and fondly remember Jonsey (anyone else?). I’m currently in Los Angeles and my dad and I are looking to move back to Nevada City sometime this year. The only thing is I haven’t been back to Nevada County since 1999. Not that I’m expecting to relive most of the olden days but I do wonder— How much has it changed? What’s good? What’s not so good? What are your favorite events? How’s the music scene these days? I prefer the smaller city feel and will not be missing Los Angeles (with exception to being near the ocean). Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

2024.04.29 01:56 Intelligent-Bed8756 🌧️ ☀️ this time of year always rains so much. It’s annoying.

So many appointments this week, surgery, and I need to try and set up a date and time for these classes so I can get a job that pays me more than I was making. If I was making like 38-40 a year these jobs pay like 50-60 is what I read. I just need anything more than I was making. I’m ready to have some kind of purpose and to be staying busy but I want to make my own schedule so that’s why im leaning towards taking the more expensive class if I can. I have to stay focused and trying to stay the fuck off the internet.
My friend was super depressed and hit me up a few nights ago right when I was about to go to bed, so I said come on over, I’m like his sisteaunt his gf was like a niece to me and she isn’t with us in this world anymore so I knew he was in pain, but we were freestyling all night and he was like holy shit you’re actually a girl I can freestyle with!! It was a fun time. Hope I helped him feel better bc I’ve been kinda down lately too and I know life can get hard and sometimes you just need a friend to have your back. Just wasn’t expecting to be up till the sun came up Saturday morning.
I have so much looming over my head righting now. It’s gonna be a long week for sure. Just wanna get past this surgery. She is so squeamish about blood and she gonna have a lot of it coming out and I’m going to have a crying, scared, little girl all next weekend maybe for 2 weeks until it stops bleeding. I’m so nervous about it all. But she needs it bc she will end up being a loud snorer one day if not.
I’m just nervous. Idk. I don’t remember hitting the follow button I don’t think I meant to do that. Or when i did that? I don’t know, so then I unfollowed which is crazy. lol idk.
Anyway, I’m gonna go watch a movie and maybe go to bed early just want to sleep.havent been sleeping well at all lately.

2024.04.29 01:56 sam_achieves I 21M Confused af with my 22F friends

Hey, I’m reaching out for some advice on a challenging situation I’ve been dealing with in a friendship, and I could really use some perspective. Here’s the backstory: I (21M) have been friends with a girl (22F) for about four years now. We met in college and formed a close bond, supporting each other through thick and thin. However, things have become more complicated as time has passed. We both went our separate ways after college, with me pursuing computer science at university and her studying dentistry. Despite the distance, we maintained communication through social media. However, I’ve noticed a pattern in our interactions – she often leaves me on read for days, especially when the conversation becomes deep or emotional. It’s like she disappears whenever things get serious. Despite this, we still exchange messages, and she even comes to me for help with her studies sometimes. However, I’ve never asked her for anything in return. I’ve tried addressing the issue of her disappearing act, but she always brushes it off. I've also made it clear to her that our relationship will always be platonic and that I won't pursue anything romantic with her. Despite this, I suspect she's trying to manipulate me into falling for her. Fast forward to now, and our friendship feels one-sided. She claims to love and miss me, but her actions don’t reflect that. It seems like I’m the only one putting effort into maintaining our friendship. She gets jealous when I mention other girls, which adds another layer of complexity to our dynamic. Recently, she’s been ignoring my messages on Snapchat, only replying when I explicitly ask her to. It’s frustrating because I’ve tried initiating mature conversations about our friendship, but she doesn’t engage. I believe life’s too short to waste on one-sided relationships, but I’m torn because I value our history and the potential for our friendship. However, her behavior is disrespectful, and I’m not sure how to address it without causing further tension. I’m considering cutting ties with her, but I also have a sister who’s interested in dentistry, and I worry that my friend’s behavior might influence her negatively. Any advice on how to handle this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input. TL;DR: Friend of four years is distant and disrespectful, and I’m unsure how to address it without jeopardizing our friendship or influencing my sister negatively.

2024.04.29 01:55 Professional-Art3654 Final Boss is a Bust.

To be fair to the game, it might just be because me and my homie were straight just brutalizing everyone. The only way the big bosses in Act 3 got us, was because of Tactician mode mechanics, and a lot of that is just, “standing next to this guy at the end of your turn does 80-200 damage.” Slight exaggeration there. But we get to the NetherBrain, level 12. He’s a paladin with two classes dropped into sorcery so his Dragonborn can look sick af, and dropped some points into cleric for Minthara so she could heal us while making her a fighter, and I put all 12 into fighter with my Dragonborn and Laezel. All in all, we were all hand to hand fighters. Maybe he could throw some spell scrolls around with more success than I did. The fight before the dragon and brain was more of a game ending fight than the dragon and brain combined. It took us all of 10 turns to deal with the combined like 20+ people. And then we step into the final arena, and it’s some weak ass dream guardians, and a dragon. I understand more come up, but with flight, I got right next to the dragon. Killed him in two turns with my Dragonborn, laezel mopped up the rest. And my homie jumped across the gap and started tearing into mindflayers. Orpheus opened the gate and was the only character to do anything for two turns. Killed the brain in 3. No action surges left, just pure smiting and bloodlust.
The only reason I’m not fully just saying the boss is the worst one in the game, is because of how stupid our stats were. I had 24 strength, and then popped cloud giant for 27. Laezel has a constitution of 23 and a strength of 22. My homie had a strength 23, charisma 18, constitution 18. And minthara we left alone. But good god, my hit chance when surrounded was 95-99%. I missed one swing in those three fights. If the game is gonna let you be level 12. Then gimme a level 12 problem

2024.04.29 01:54 inspiringtruffle Brothers wife has been trying to isolate him

My brother is in the military and has been married to his wife for about 5 years. About 3 years ago, he was assigned a base basically across the world and due to that, only some of my family members have seen my brother, his wife, and their two daughters (my nieces) once in 3 years and some of us, including me, haven’t seen them at all. We were ecstatic to hear they were moving back here soon, only a couple hours from us.
Before they moved, they lived a few hours away and every time we would want to go visit them or have them come see us, his wife would make it miserable for him. My brother would tell my mom how his wife was on edge, fighting with him, and she would drink and berate him. The month before they moved away 3 years ago, they were at our house for Christmas. I was woken up by them fighting in their room, his wife calling him names and belittling him over (yes it was this stupid) not having turned on a fan for their daughter….then I heard her slap him and insult him more.
You can imagine I viewed her very very differently after this. And it got worse. A few months after their move, my mom got photos from my brother with his shirt ripped and bloody scratches on his face and chest. He called my mom from a hotel to tell her how his wife drunkenly attacked him, in front of her children (she has two teenagers from another marriage) and so my brother fled the house. They stayed apart for a few days and eventually “made up.” My brother wrote her a letter telling her that she needs to stop drinking and go to counseling or they’re done. She agreed to go and this was years ago now.
When my family visited them last year, his wife would even get jealous of my brother sitting in the living room with them if she was in their room alone. My brother had to basically act like he didn’t really care and wasn’t excited to see my family. His wife made up a story about how my brother was gawking at women when they all went to Disney (both of my parents and my younger brother were there, and the wife and my brothers young daughters…the idea that he would be staring at and chatting up girls in front of them is delusional) and my younger brother was with him and they apparently disappeared to go talk to them. My younger brother said that this quite literally did not happen. His wife had similar delusions about their old neighbor, a married woman, who sometimes would drop off baked goods.
When my brother would deploy, his wife would call my mom and complain that my brother is flirting with his co workers and must be a cheater. My mom would try to talk sede into her and call her down. (He has never cheated and his wife has no actual proof or anything.) I don’t mean this in a rude way, but she is about 10 years older than him and my brother claims that is a huge part of her insecurity.
Ok so those are just a few of many events I could think to give you a good idea of the person and shitty relationship going on. I believe my brother doesn’t leave due to being emotionally abused, because they have young children, and because his job is extremely demanding and dealing with a divorce would be detrimental to his continued success.
They are moving back here soon, and the wife is already making comments that we won’t be able to see them for a month because she has to set up their house. Meanwhile, they are arriving almost 2 weeks before they can even move into their house and their furniture won’t arrive until a week after that! Also, the military packs, moves, and brings them all of their stuff so it’s not like she has to do any of that. We suggested they come stay with us since they’ll have nowhere to go or at least get a hotel nearby.
Well just heard now that they’ll be spending all of those two weeks hours away from us in a hotel instead. Because they “need to get their bearings.” With no house, no furniture, a bunch of luggage, no car, 2 young children and nothing to do. And a family you have barely seen in 3 years just waiting to welcome you with open arms.
Maybe this is when you ask, well maybe your family is mean or oppressive or something? The worst thing I could admit is that my mother can be slightly smothering to my nieces, and it is truly in a loving and excited way. My mom has listened to and supported my brothers wife, while he was deployed several times, as she talked shit on him and blamed him for everything and my mom just tried to be there for her because at the end of the day, it’s his wife and she doesn’t have much relationship with her own parents.
I can’t believe that after everything, they are choosing not to see us. I miss my nieces so much. When they left, the youngest was a new born and I feel so sad that I barely know her. I don’t know how to deal with this dynamic because I am really angry at his wife, even at my brother. But I know anger will only push them away…do we really have to just continue to be the “bigger person” forever?? Is there any way to sway this type of isolating, controlling behavior she displays?? How to help my brother and see my nieces at the same time?? I’m probably asking for too much.

2024.04.29 01:54 Zerbinnet Do you relate to this vent? How Do I respond to rude people overstepping boundaries?

Dear people,
I am single, not terminally ill in need of a cure. Stop treating me as such! I am tired of being treated as a project without my consent. I didn’t ask for you to diagnose me, nor your opinion or advice painted by you as “medicine” or worse - revelation from God.😂 If so, I think it’s quite plainly why…You’re not part of my inner intimate and accountability circle. Yes, I have those in my life and if your advice is not asked for then you’re not part of it. Why do married folks just feel automatically “qualified” to speak into your single life? Just because singleness was a plague, a curse, a disease for you, it doesn’t mean is the same for me. Don’t tell me you are like me! You don’t know me! Why don’t we address why you feel so uncomfortable seeing a young adult happy and content with their marital status, not running fro and lo in desperation, searching for “ The one”. Why this answer goes over your head? Well, excuse me, Cough cough, you didn’t hear me say that? Well, yeah didn’t get to because you’ve just drowned me in your “medicine” like a careless doctor who just prescribes without actually asking for anamnesis. “Well then…why are you bothered, why is this a sensitive issue?” Dear singles, don’t let people make you feel guilty. Mr “Healer” please ask yourself: what made me think I deserve access to their inner life? What makes me feel entitled to address such a personal issue ? Yes, I have a desire for marriage, for kids, for family, while at the same time being content with the current season I’m in. I know my steps are led by God, I trust HIM and I learn to base my decisions, my ways on his word and His leading. If I miss direction, if I stumble, if I slip up God is always there lifting me up, he warns me corrects me through the people he placed in my life. Life is more than marriage, more than career, more than kids, more than milestones and achievements. Life is about being whole in Christ, in finding him as source of strength and joy. Christ is enough for me, yeah we like to sing it… Do we actually believe it? So when I try to say it why does it bothers you? Do you believe that Christ is enough? Just kidding, God said is not good for man to be SINGLE 😅 oh wait, he said is not good for man to be …. ALONE! I am not ALONE! I have found deep meaningful connection in my relationship with my Lord Jesus, in my family, in my friends, in my parents,, I am deeply involved in ministry, in community, I actually need more ALONE time. So stop making me uncomfortable, stop intruding in my life, keep your unsolicited prescription for yourself doctor and stop violating me and my boundaries. If I need help I’ll ask for it. If you think I need help and yours wasn’t asked for yet, well….guess what? Our relationship level is not there.

2024.04.29 01:53 sadboyhours001 8 months later…

I used to post on this thread all the time while going through my breakup. The advice and support from here and many of you got me through a lot of dark moments. I thought I would post an update 8 months later.
Anyways just come context… Me and my ex broke up over 8 months ago now, i think it was around the middle of august. We were together for 4 and a half years. We met when we were 17, He was my first for everything, first boyfriend, first kiss, anything intimate, he met my family and also became part of my family. I thought this boy was my soul mate, he was my person and I could picture my whole life with him.
8 months later… I started my healing journey, I finally accepted that our journey was over. The acceptance stage took me around 5 months. During these stages grief was the main stage. My body was giving up on me, and so was my mental health. I was at my lowest point. Then came the suicidal thoughts. I knew I couldn’t pull through anymore. I had so much support around me from my parents and friends, but sometimes the support wasn’t enough. I started thinking of ways I could take away the pain of missing him, the pain of knowing I had lost my person. The only thing I could think of was hurting myself, stupid thoughts crossed my mind like ‘if I hurt myself now, I’ll be thinking about a different type of pain than the pain of my breakup’. My mental health was at my lowest. I threw myself into the gym, I took more hours at work and I started being around family more. I felt more comfort around family then I did friends.
Around 5 months later, pushing him out of my mind became easier. The healing process became more bearable. When I tell you ‘out of sight out of mind’ saved my whole life (if you have done this straight away in your breakup I promise you it will be your best chance of healing) As much as I would think about him everyday, they weren’t as much painful thoughts, more like ‘ah I’ve accepted it now’. I started smiling more, I managed to get my appetite back and I was seeing more weight on my body, aswell as muscle from the gym. I was also able to go out on the weekends and drink (something I couldn’t do before because alcohol would send me into a depressive state)
8 months later.. I still think about this boy everyday. I still can’t go to alot of places where we both loved to go because even the happy memories are painful. I wonder how he’s doing, whether he found someone he could love more, I wonder about his family and most importantly, if he’s happy. I still pray at night for this boys safety and happiness, because as much as he didn’t want to be with me anymore, he will always be my person and he will always own the biggest piece of my heart.
For anyone going through this, I won’t tell you ‘it will get better’ because when I was going through it, I didn’t wanna hear that. I’m just going to simply tell you to hold on, you will get your spark back. You will smile again. You will eat again. You will enjoy your hobbies again. You will hear their name and not instantly cry. You will fall Inlove with the stars and the moon, you will fall Inlove with the happy memories you made. Your heart will stop hurting I promise you x

2024.04.29 01:52 Natural-Gene-2193 Aitah for tell my mom that I'll probably move out before my bestfriend does after moving her in.

I (19 year old female ) told my best friend(19 year old female) lets call her Ruby of 8 years that her and her mom let's call her Kelly (40 year old female) could stay with me for a while, after her dad kicked them out (he's just crazy and thought she was cheating but she wasnt). (This Is a little bit of more context from my last post I made)
Anyways I asked my mom if they could say with us just long enough for them to get a place. And my mom is a really nice person and she said ok. This was in August of 2023. As of now they don't help out much and Kelly broke her food a few months ago lost her job and didn't work for 3 months. She just started back working again But her and my mom had become good friends. Kelly helps with groceries when she gets food stamps. She helps my mom wash dishes when she can and gives my mom Company.(which I think she needs)
my mom is home all the time ( Except when she helps me bring kelly and rudy to work) because she is own disability for her back. She's okay she just can't be on her feet fir a long period of time, so she gets disability money.
Rudy don't have her licenses Nether does her mother. About four months ago she bought a car so that she could practice driving in it and my mom could bring her and her mom to work but she never practices. She has Her permit but she don't care. She lives here, rent free. They say you're looking for an apartment and that they're on waiting Lists but I don't know.
me and my boyfriend of Almost 2 year are in a good place and he has saved up for us to get a house togetther we should have enough in about a year. And I was just talking to my mom and said at these point ima be out of here before they are. And she said "you can't leave them with me" I said "well ill have to move out at some point and hopefully they are gone soon any ways." She said "yeah but we can't just kick them out on the side of the road and you can't leave till they do"
She is a little upset at me now so aitah.

2024.04.29 01:50 IslandTechGuru High End Server Suggestions

Hi Everyone!
Our business is looking at designing and deploying a high volume NAS storage solution for large numbers of small files. Mostly photo work documentation and productivity file management. Secondly will need to run 6-8 VM's in a mix of Linux (currently Debian GUI) and Windows platforms. Linux systems are running database management systems and high volume mail server. Windows VM's will be client access systems for running simple 3D modeling software for construction projects. Min requirements 64 bit Dual core / 8 GB RAM / 1 GB Dedicated GPU. Need to run 4-6 VM"s with this workload at a time.
We are tentatively planning on using a Supermicro 2U Hyper A+ server with up to 24 NVMe Drives, interior M.2 NVMe as boot drives, ~768 GB - 1 TB of RAM, and 40 Gb networking.
Currently need about 60-100 TB of data. Hoping to use ZFS RAID Z2 with hot spare, and dedicated NVMe for special metadata device as we manage millions of small files and metadata management (index loading, search abilities, etc) is a HUGE issue.
Not a super Linux expert so was originally thinking of using TrueNAS Scale but running into concerns about the VM management. Namely stability of the hypervisor in running a high workload of VM's, and splitting a GPU between multiple windows VM's.
Also thinking about GPU concerns for the VM’s - not super high demand but we will need dedicated GPU resources for each VM. Unfortunately those servers only have either 1x PCIe 5.0 x16 or 2x PCIe 5.0 x8 slots - single height and 11.5" long. Server also supports another PCIe 5.0 x16 slot in the AIOM form factor.
We are not super restricted on rack space and have plenty of rack cooling, so open to other platforms, but build quality, warranty, supportability, easy of management, hot swap front drive bays, etc - are all important features.
Also had a though re: GPU’s - since we need multiple GPU resources but not actually very resource intensive - what about somehow running multiple lower end GPU’s in an eGPU solution? If we could somehow take those PCIe 5.0 slots and break them out through a PCIe switch to multiple 3.0 or 4.0 slots… could we somehow externally connect multiple GPU’s? Rack mount is a must, but again we have the units to spare so we can do something with it.
Thunderbolt controllers to Thunderbolt eGPU’s? Sonnet has their DuoDock eGPU / PCIe enclosures but not sure if we can get multiple thunderbolt enclosures on a system like this. I know we won’t get huge bandwidth to these GPU’s - but that shouldn’t really be needed. Alternately 1-2 VERY high end GPU’s somehow splitting resources between VM’s - but concerned about how much implementation “hackery” this will require!
Appreciate all your thoughts on this!
Thanks!

2024.04.29 01:48 glassangelshard Using dating apps to find a serious relationship?

I know the best places to find a potential partner are in-person spaces for hobbies, but most of my hobbies are not very social and where I live, people are rather cold and it’s difficult to make friends.
I’ve been missing that spark in my life and been itching to make a dating profile. I’m 24f and I don’t want hook-ups or situationships at all, just something genuine, taking it slow. Do dating apps work for this? Anything to look out for? What’s your experience? Thank you :)

2024.04.29 01:48 Blankboo97 The Lost Women of NXIVM Part 6

Next up from The Lost Women of NXIVM:
HEIDI CLIFFORD (As “Anonymous Classmate”):
“Kristin took the class in November of 2002. For her to do this was, like, a huge undertaking for her to spend $10,000, $12.000 for the first class. When Kristin brought me in, it was very intense. And you’re with 15 strangers that you didn't know at all. And, then, within a day, you're divulging your deepest, darkest secrets. Kris started tripping out, being quite vocal, quite distressed. And, so I went to the leader of the class, and said “I’m going to bring her to the Alaska Psychiatric Institute.” I was there trying to support her, and they would separate us intentionally. They would completely separate her having support from me. Whoever would be watching intently. They were just making sure that we were not together. I can't even remember anybody's name in that class. They just kept pulling her out of the room. That was the last time I saw her.”
As previously discussed, Kristin and Heidi BOTH took the November Intensive together, so Heidi was not “brought in” midstream, and the exact amount spent by both of them was discussed in part 4 of this series.
According to Heidi Clifford’s account of events to Kristin Snyder’s parents; a class leader and coach recommended Heidi give Kris some space, “let that person problem solve on their own, let them explore themselves”. It was also customary for friends, lovers, and relatives who took Intensives together to be separated during the “break out” groups, for the purpose of participants speaking more freely. But, due to it being a very small class, Heidi and Kris were in two of the “break out” groups together, so they were not completely separated. And, needless to say, according to Heidi Clifford’s account, they spent breaks and lunches together, along with Heidi’s mom E.V.
Heidi said “Whoever would be watching intently. They were just making sure that we were not together. I can’t even remember anybody’s name in that class. They just kept pulling her out of the room.”
Who is “whoever” and “they”? Shortly after the Lost Women of NXIVM aired in December 2019, Heidi Clifford speaks further with Frank Parlato, who was the driving force behind Lost Women. In a Parlato blog post on January 20, 2020, Heidi specifically states names, so why the cloak and dagger as the anonymous classmate? Given Heidi can and does remember ESP names, it seems unlikely then that she “can’t even remember anybody’s name in that class”.
“They just kept pulling her out of the room,” Heidi stated. Since we had never met Kristin Snyder in person, we can only describe her through her friends, family members, and lovers. We were told by many that Kris was a “hundred-yarder”, to clarify for the Homosexually-impaired, this means Kris’s dykeness was identifiable from a football field away; in fact, that’s actually how one her relationships began, when she was spotted from afar and approached! Kris was strong and fit (her father proudly remarked during a high school sports event after Kris blew away her competition “that’s my boy”), so Kris being physically pulled out of class does not ring true.
That this class was in a busy hotel, in busy downtown Anchorage, with paying class participants present, COMPLETELY rings untrue. Who among us would let their wife be dragged out of a room, MORE THAN ONCE?! Who would let their wife be dragged out of a room and not physically intervene? Or run to the front desk and request help or security? And, if you couldn’t intervene or were afraid, wouldn’t you call 911 on your own CELL PHONE?
Fortunately, we do not have to speculate on those nagging questions, after interviewing nearly everyone from the ESP class, as well as 2003 Westmark employees, we are confident that Kris was not physically dragged out of the hotel conference room.
“That was the last time I saw her,” Heidi said in Lost Women. According to Heidi’s account given to Kris’s parents, on the morning of February 6, Kris needed help putting on her socks and shoes and needed physical prompts to get into the truck so that Heidi could drive them both to class. Kris’s interaction in class was so low that after lunch it was suggested by the ESP staff that Kris “journal” in the hallway. Heidi states that around 5:30 p.m., “Kris walked by the window waved through the glass. She looked soft and sweet and young. I waved back.”
A year later, in a February 2004 article (An Espian’s Brief Life), Heidi Clifford tells the reporter in a phone interview that Kris “clearly upset,” “waved goodbye to Clifford through a window as she walked away”.
In a text conversation with Kris’s sister in early 2020, Kris’s sister texted Heidi:
“All of this is SO shocking. You told us-you never saw Kris leave-but in the Espian’s Brief Life article-you said she waved to you. Which is it?”
Heidi replied:
“She waved to me everyday through the window of the conference room door.”
Other than on the day Kris was reported missing, February 6th 2003, there’s no evidence that Kris was relegated to "journal" in the hallway. And it seems unlikely that if being physically pulled/dragged from the ESP class, Kris would simply be waving at the same time.

2024.04.29 01:44 Mundane_Wedding9664 More money but with less freedom, what should I do?!

I’m so stuck and told my current company I’d let them know the score on Monday, however I’m going to have to tell them tomorrow I’m not ready yet. Just looking for your thoughts and what you’d do- I’ll try describe my situation as accurate as I can…
I’ll preface by saying I wasn’t actively looking for a new role got approached by a recruiter and went from there. Got an offer, current job have made a counter offer that works out a bit less money but they do have good benefits.
Current role- WFH most days, honestly very easy role, in control of my own time. Can pop out throughout the day if I need to get stuff done. Never stressed, may be too comfortable?
New roles offered both a promotion (that would probably take another 1.5-2 years to get to at current company) and a near 50% pay rise - current company have then offered to up my pay about 20% to keep me plus other benefits that bring the package to about 80-90% of what the new jobs offering.
Cons of the new role are with the promotion come a lot more roles and responsibilities (and I’m not even sure I’m good enough for them) and less freedom as I’ll be in the office most the time working longer hours.
So I’ve essentially got comfort vs forwarding career faster as my choice, but it’s going to be harder work and potentially even test my skills- a little worried about the 3 month probationary period. And I won’t be at home anymore.
What would you do?

2024.04.29 01:43 Feisty_Formal_7853 I tried for a baby in my ovulation window, a couple weeks later I missed my period and got three pregnancy positive tests. Then a week after that I started bleeding, went to ER, and they said zero sign of pregnancy at all…..very confused and sad as to what happened.

Jan 2024
- 1/19/24 started my period
Feb 2024
- 2/19/24 started my period
March 2024
- 3/13/24 started taking prenatal vitamins
- 3/20/24 started my period
April 2024
- 4/3/24 last time drinking alcohol and coffee
- 4/3/24 first time trying in estimated window - late at night
- Just going off the Premom app, no temp tracking or ovulation test strips
- 4/4/24 second time trying in estimated window - morning
- Just going off the Premom app, no temp tracking or ovulation test strips
- 4/9, 4/11, 4/16, 4/19 sex - not in estimated window
- 4/18/24 projected period start date - never got it or spotting
- 4/20/24 pregnancy test - result was negative
- 4/22/24 Mon - pregnancy test - first positive!!!!!!!!!!!
- 4/23/24 Tues - pregnancy test - second positive
- 4/25/24 Thurs - pregnancy test - third positive
- Booked an appointment with my OB for 5/8 which I would be 7 weeks exactly
- 4/27/24 Sat - 4am when I woke up to pee my underwear were soaked in blood
- Premom app said 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant
- Some clots? Yes. A lot of blood like a period? Yes
- Doctor and OB on call said to go to the ER and get an ultrasound to be safe
ER notes on me:
- Urine test - diluted since I was drinking a lot of water anxiously
- HCG blood test - no signs of pregnancy
- Ultrasound - no signs of pregnancy
- HCG hormones - 3.6, so no signs of pregnancy
- The doctors said my body indicated more that this was a really late period and not a miscarriage
- The doctors also brought up my blood type which is A Negative with RH Negative in it. I am trying to learn more about this, but apparently the RH part is an autoimmune condition that could be a problem with pregnancy
- I’m not sure what blood type my husband is, he is getting that checked Monday
- How I understand this is if my husband is negative, then there’s no issues with having a baby
- If my husband’s blood type is positive, then the Negative RH incompatibility in my blood would attack the baby and my body would treat the positive like a foreign invader and won’t recognize it as safe
- Since I’m negative, if my husband happens to be positive (we will find out his blood type Monday 4/29), then we would need to get the RhoGam shot. A question I will ask my OB on 5/8 is if he ends up being positive, and we try to conceive again and I get another positive test, how early would I need the Rhogam shot so nothing interferes with the pregnancy. I’ve wanted to be a Mom my whole life so I am taking this seriously and trying to do everything I can to educate myself
- Other notes: RhoGam is used to correct the blood type so the opposite blood type does not attack. If my husband is positive, then the baby will be positive as well which would overrule my negative blood type. Positive is the dominant gene and negative the recessive gene
Questions for those who are interested in helping:
- Has this happened to other women? So I know I’m not alone here
- Do you think I was ever pregnant, or not at all? The three positive tests really messed with me…..horrible to go through. I’ve never been so excited in my life
- Do you think this was just a really late period? A miscarriage? Why the positive tests but the doctor saw nothing? A hormone surge but no fetus?
- Has anyone had a different blood type than their partner and gotten the RhoGam shot? Thinking ahead here in case my husband is positive. Anything that should be included on his next blood test besides blood type?
- My husband’s hormones were tested, they said they were a little low but fine, not worrisome. Are there any vitamins or anything my husband should do to help out?
- I’m stressed out trying to figure out my next ovulation window. I haven’t used ovulation strips or done my daily early morning temp yet but I am going to start this week
- Anyone’s opinions on what they think happened would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and hugs/best wishes to everyone out there who is trying for a baby!!!!
Thank you for reading and opinions. I appreciate your help so much!
