I left work early today.

I was on drive thru hot drinks.

We were running out of everything: cream, milk, cane syrup, 3 types of quencher bases, bacon, omelet bites, tea types, all the harry potter donuts, boston cream donuts...

The brew master wasn't brewing enough, i was doing my best, but we kept running out of coffee. Then the spouts of nearly every pot was blocked by grinds, so I had to rinse and unblock them.

Despite this, we were pumping out orders between 25-30 seconds, but it wasn't good enough for them. And it was my fault. They were saying it to my face, behind my back within earshot, and just giving me ugly glares.

How is that supposed to help me do what it is that you want?

I couldn't really find a flair for this, but I wanted to share.

Today, two girls came to the counter with their phones and handed them to me. It stated that they were deaf and wanted to order an Iced Capp, Turkey Club and a Gryffindor donut.

I smiled and began placing the order in the POS, and as it appeared on the customer's screen, one of the girls began silently clapping and smiling. She i think instinctively signed "thank you". So I signed back to her "you're welcome", she audibly gasped and was just the happiest camper ever.

I do not know a lot of sign, but i can keep up a shallow conversation, so I did. The other patrons even found it to be a wholesome interaction. Based on how happy she was, i will be learning more sign.

Yay!

I went to the neurologist yesterday, and i was given many pain injections in my face, head, and neck. I have long shifts for the next 3 days, and i did not think about my visor. I work in fast food, I am okay to wear it says the neuro, but the injection site will be a little painful, perhaps a bit swollen. Can you think of a way to wear my visor pain-free ish? Or do you think they'll let me wear just a hair net if I tell management? I really didn't think this through. :(

Thank you

Have you ever lost feeling/lessen sensation in your fingers, toes, legs, hands? Like numb, tingling, cold, and less sensation. I have a fear I will lost my toes because of this.

I have 3 types of dysautonomia. I also have hypermobility, migraine disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and AuDHD. All of which were discovered before the dysautonomia. I notice a pattern in the literature and research surrounding neurodivergence and the above issue, but dysautonomia isn't as explicitly caused yet also impacts the heart, digestive, circulatory, nervous and more systems.

I am wondering if you too are neurodivergent or neurotypical.

Edit: i do also have PDD, and either GAD or suspected OCD. They are weaving out one of those 2. I didn't think it was terribly important to include, but might as well put it all out there. I empathize with y'all, i too am a medical and mental mess. ❤️❤️

I am a baker and a certified wilton cake decorator. I got certified when i was 9 because I was interested. I still know and use those skills from time to time. Now I am 23. My hours at work (it is a entry-level, part time, full time) keep getting cut. Due to medical reasons, I had to move out of my parents' house, which has strained the relationship. I have bills, and my work doesn't seem to understand. I was thinking to start selling some baked goods on the side as supplemental income. But i am fearful it will be too big of a feat to take on as i start my Bachelor's in a month, and there is also some obvious monetary investment i must give to get this thing started.

Please give me your feedback or a better group to post this question to.

Thank you.

Does driving take a lot out of you?

I drove for 2 hours + yesterday, and it feels like i need to take a day off. I am so tired, I want to cry.

I have not seen my neuro since January. The botox has worn off. I have no abortives, and abortive usually didn’t work. My school medical center referred me to a headache clinic who declined my referral due to already seeing a neuro, but now my neuro won't call me back.

All I have is topiramate and naproxen. I take naproxen multiple times a day now to get through. I am really concerned. I am definitely getting another stomach ulcer.

Hi. I need advice.

​

I am about to try figuring out the extenuating circumstances form for OSAP.

​

I am not living at home anymore. I am not on talking terms with my dad who is the sole provider. My mom (she is a stay at home mom) talks to me, but is upset with me and often the talks end in verbal confrontation.

​

Essentially, I have not had a bedroom nor a bed since 2016. I am currently 23, and still considered a dependent due to finishing HS later (as I have had numerous injuries to the head). I have a lot of sleeping issues; i am a light sleeper and my family is nocturnal - i was sleeping in the living room. When I started college last year, i plead for a bed in the basement, not a room just a bed.

​

My house is similar to a hoarders house, we all have ADHD, so everything is genuinely a work in progress- i was the only one who tried to clean as it makes me so mentally and physically disorganized and frustrated.

​

During 1st semester I had a bed in the basement, it was okay. Unfortunately, we also have a mouse issue but my dad refused to call an exterminator due to the physical state of the house and not wanting toxins in the house and expense. It was really hard to breath downstairs, I would cough for a solid 1/2 hour before sleeping. But i had a bed. In 2nd semester, the bed was lifted over the holiday break, my dad thought he'd fix the basement before the semester started, he didn't finish.

​

My dad never asks or accepts help, and he does not allow anyone to do anything on their own when it comes to the house, so me fixing the basement myself was never allowed. I also must note that my time is not my own, I am a second parent in my house, I parent my parents and siblings. I took a year off in grade 11, because my mom needed help after a surgery because they didn't want to ask for help from my big extended family, I have taken out loans for family expense when I got a credit card, I am the glue and family therapist. Their healths comprehensively was dependent on me. If I tried putting me first in any capacity, it was viewed as an act of rebellion. I have 2 migraine disorders as well. They both are heavily dependent on sleep and stress.

​

In 2nd semester, my sleep quality got so bad that I began hallucinating. Around that time, my boyfriend started attending his apprenticeship program at the college. I began to stay at his house to try sleeping better. I didn't work very well, it was like I was past a point of return. I contacted my cousin who is in the profession I want to be, I asked her an academic question, she said that i sound frantic and if I am okay, she invited me to dinner, and I ended up staying at her house for the rest of the semester.

​

I was always constantly on the brink of hallucinations, and hemiplegic migraine attacks. I went to the hospital 6 times in the school year including my last exam date. It took nothing to bring me to the point of burn out but in a medical crisis way.

​

My extended family does not know about my family situation. When j have tried telling them about it, it is either that they don't believe my dad would do that to me, or they don't want to fragment their relationship with my dad so they won't intervene.

​

After the 2nd semester end, my boyfriend and I got engaged. We have been together for almost 5 years. He asked me to come live with him and his family. My cousin who took me in told me it was for the semester only. I now reside with my fiance.

​

My parents, especially my dad, is livid because I brought extended family into this, and he thinks I am faking it. The thing is, especially during 2nd semester, I have over a dozen doctors notes for my extreme sleep deprivation and status migrainosus/hemiplegic migraine attacks. I have a lot of documentation over the past year of what was happening with my PCP, my healthcenter at the college, student services, the ER and a walking clinic.

​

My dad refuses to speak to me, let alone give me his T4 info. He believes I am faking because his sleep deprivation has never manifested as severely as mine. He told me, "(my name), we have 3 bedrooms and 6 people, you do that math". My 12 year old brother still sleeps in my parent's room, granted he does have Level 1 ASD and ADHD, but so do I. He shouldn't be going through puberty in my parent's room.

​

I am sorry for all the background, if you need more, let me know.

​

Does this case sound like a case that would be granted through extenuating circumstances? I still have not applied for OSAP due to the conflict. If it matters, my current program is BScN.

Thank you.

Hi. I am f23.

Please ask questions as I am sure ill miss important details.

I am living at my boyfriend's house with his family there are 8 people and 5 animals. I was at home, but unfortunately, I could not stay there healthily, primarily for physical health but also mental health reasons.

My bf has a dog who had been through abuse in and outside of the home. This abuse is no longer occurring. When my bf goes to work, his dog is bound to his room, he had a peeing problem in the past and excessively barks, some people work midnight shifts. He is a grumpy guy, and only tolerates 2 people: my bf and I.

When i came over in the past, he wouldnt pay attention to my bf at all, it was just me, which was overwhelming. I love the dude very much, but now that I live there, I can't handle the suffocation of attention. He barks at me every second of the time he can't get to me or physically touch me, I can't be alone anymore or else he scream hyperventatedly barks. I am not usually an angry person, but I find myself yelling at him all of the time now. I have a cat at my parents' house, cats are definitely more my speed, granted this doggo is a small breed, which are known to be yappy. I

have migraine and sleep disorders, and AuDHD, and clearly he has separation anxiety. I just don't know what to do to make it work, i can't stay with family. In september I am continuing my undergrad, so I am trying to figure this out now. I am looking for employment, but where I am is a iob dessert.

Thanks for your help.
