Not me thinking for a second that the Cursed Clock app was some kind of pomodoro focus technique...🤣 Glad to see and hear your wonderful voice once more. Get better soon.
I watched the original videos of Salem, and her facial expressions look very unlike any I've seen on a baby her age. She seems uncomfortable. I'm not an expert in child development, but I am a functional breathing instructor, and in my training we learned that babies typically have their mouths closed at rest. Salem's mouth opens wide creating awkward shapes, even when she isn't vocalizing. The sounds she's making also instinctively strike me as sad and pained. I feel ill watching this.
I know.. they prescribed it to me.. the side effects were dreadful.. so goodness only knows what the long term effects could be, especially considering these drugs are relatively new and most definitely over-prescribed..
Glad you’re feeling better! I think I’d rather not eat at all than eat that BRAT you mentioned. 😳 Chicken vegetable soup would be doable, though. This is a particularly sad situation which was 100% preventable, which has instead become an observable, ongoing horror. To think that yet again, no one is in jail for committing these medical and surgical atrocities. What a looney bin civilization is. Ave Maria! ☮️❤️🐾
I am so sorry, commenting early to say that you still don't sound well. Please don't push yourself too hard and take as much time as you need to fully recover! You've done a lot of travelling and meeting people recently, maybe you've overdone it a bit? get well soon.
'Salem's Lot' in more ways than one. I'm glad that you can talk so calmly throughout Ex. as this goes far in calming me. I get very upset over this totally self centred 'Mother'. She really shouldn't be allowed to keep this poor child and I don't say that lightly. Be well. Stay well dear Exulansic , you are a much needed voice for all the damaged people and those to come.
She's shown herself to be unfit. At minimum the child should be removed and placed with a family member until she completes parenting classes. I predict that either way Salem is headed for a cerebral palsy diagnosis.
Sorry to hear you've been unwell. Glad to see you back. I can't watch the Elleot videos because she makes me want to punch her. The extent of the narcissism of these people is breathtaking.
At this point I think adoption might be the best choice for Salem....
It's obvious they've neglected their Child, they didn't / don't pick her up enough (due to lack of caring AND Elleot's many surgeries. This neglect led to Salem's coned head.
They leave her to cry in pain for HOURS, they most likely don't talk to her much (or most likely they don't talk to each other in the House, all on their separate rooms/devices/screens, which may be why she isn't babbling either. They most likely leave Peppa Pig or similar on for Salem for hours, whilst Elleot makes her jewellery for Etsy and the Husband is.... who knows where? And the Brother that still lives with them is... who knows where..
Such dysfunction & neglect, it's so horrible to watch... Also there is no LIFE in Elleot, there's no spark behind her eyes.. she honestly seems rather zombified..

Love the apple sauce joke. Also, i take propanolol for anxiety. It's great
What are the long term effects though?
Not as bad as those of benzos. This is what they give instead of xanax
I know.. they prescribed it to me.. the side effects were dreadful.. so goodness only knows what the long term effects could be, especially considering these drugs are relatively new and most definitely over-prescribed..
I hated it. The doctor was like you just need a higher dose. I refused. It made me so not anxious it was a problem. I was ready to fight God.
I dont notice that it does anything, until i tried to get off them to donate plasma. Then I realized how much they helped
lol.. same Ex. It helped stop my migraines, but made my anxiety much worse, gave me the SWEATS and made me hypomanic too.
They also wanted to up my dose, I said FUCK no.
Thankfully have been off ALL Meds for almost 2.5 years now. Phew... xXx
Poor baby girl
So sorry Ex! You work so hard don't you, i certainly benefit from your Labour's! Go easy ( if you can---)

I was worried too! Glad you're starting to feel better.
Thanks for posting this dire information. We have to start keeping anecdotal data on these babies. No one else will.
Poor baby😢 I‘ve been thinking about this little one whenever I saw/see transers with kids.. Thanks for the update, I was wondering how Salem is doing!
Get well soon Ex, take care!
PS: I was wondering about you/ your well being too Ex ;) Good to see you at least +/- ok.

I really hope you're wrong.
Oh no I hope not
Seconded. This situation is deeply disturbing, I feel terribly sad for Salem and think of her often.

I’m relieved to see you. I hope you are fully recovered soon.
This is just terrible. I really hope your wrong about a future cerebral palsy diagnosis for Salem. I’m glad you blur the baby’s face out.
