But I was pregnant once and got hit with REALLY bad full-blown psychosis so I don't think I'm wired to give birth Adoption maybe.....?

What do you mean wired? How indoctrinated are you that your natural desires are coming through?

Wired as in how my brain is wired and my entire bodily physiology. Pregnancy/birth is an insanely intricate, whole body event involving crazy networks and loops of hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. Clearly, I'm predisposed to life-ending antepartum psychosis.

Just because you took bio doesn’t mean you’re immune to reality. You’re right at the age of the future becoming a real thing. Career, marriage? Children? Death? Memories? It’s all going to land on your desk, you can choose to avoid or confront the thoughts. You’re not the same girl, you at 18 is different from you at 25, and so on it goes until death, keep growing

First off I have a Biochem degree, second off, I'm saying this bc I was pregnant 3 years ago and did experience severe antepartum psychosis 😭 Duh. Why would I be the same person I was at 18? I was a kid lmao I've just never once had any reaction besides 'EW 🤢' even at the thought of having kids until now so I'm shoooook 😂
