It’s only been 4 days on this new birth control and I only feel this way when I am on my period. All I want to do is eat chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. I want a fucking quarter pounder. I wanna take the fucking bag and rip it with my teeth and violently shake it about. Like dead ass I don’t know if this is the side effect of birth control or not. I’m on Slynd.

Hello! Sorry for formatting I am on mobile.

I have been wanting to leave the United States for a while and so I wanted to check to see if my job would qualify. I am officially titled a Government Analyst 1 but my job discrimination fits that of NOC code 10012 under a Contract Manager which I am certified to be in my state. I have a college degree but it is not in business administration or commerce economics. I can wait and earn that experience I need and I am sure I can get a SCMP if I asked or took the exam and studied on my own.

My job is a lot of things but my title is a Guardian Monitor. How ever I am always what is called a Contract Monitor. I set up and monitor contracts up too I think 5 million USD but my highest contract I monitor right now is over 1million USD. I make sure that the companies that are contracted follow state statue and the contract itself by implementing checks and balances to monitor their activity as well as keeping close contact with them. I have a college degree and had to get special training/certification in order to do this. I was wondering if there are any jobs that would fit this sort of category of if I need to look at a job change that still fits within state work for my state.

Hey so I’m noticing that everyone in our office doesn’t really meld together all that well. We have a very small group in our department like I wanna say 9 but it’s very..clicky? Would be the best way. Like the lawyers talk to the lawyers, two of the girls I work with work mostly together and I work with the other girl who is often left out of things because she is an immigrant. I’m closer with my boss than some of the other people I work with and I want us to just be more…friendly? And so I was wondering if your workplaces do team building exercises or small events everyone can participate in to get to know each-other. If yalls team does do this, do you guys like it or do you feel like your being pulled away from important work?

The biggest thing is I travel in a team of 3 and the two girls I work with don’t like me very much because I’m the youngest with no kids, fresh out of college, mentally disabled, and I am shy so they kinda just leave me out of things and so I wanna try and mend that at least a little? Or at least improve our working relationship but I want it to be for the whole office.

Any advice would be nice and I would like to see if my boss would be down for the ideas you all suggest!

Hey so I am someone who makes booth avatars and I was wondering if there was a plugin or something for unity that existed where if I had the name of a blend shape and the value I wanted it adjusted too if it would just do it for me instead of having to manually do it. It’s not a major pain but just a quality of life thing I guess I would say.

So I got the news, I’m gonna be on Slydn for birth control. I don’t have any pre diabetic symptoms yet but my doctor said that could change in a short moments time so she wants me to keep an eye on it. I have already tried making some changes to my diet like having more diet drinks, sugar free or less sugar deserts, more fiber, less bread, things like that. My autism makes it hard because I have ARFID but she did refer me to a dietitian.

What has been some more casual ways you guys have changed your diet? Like for sugar cravings or snacks?

What would be the best advice for my hair loss/thinning scalp? I wanna try and regrow my hair but I also know if my hair follicles are dead they are dead and gone.

What are some ways yall have started or tried to lose weight? I wanna look into getting a walk pad because I need lower intensity work outs but I might go to crunch and work out there and use the treadmill and stuff like that

Hey guys! I went to the doctors yesterday and got diagnosed with a chronic metabolic condition that makes weight loss hard, then add I am mentally disabled and have disordered eating on top of that. She understands due to what is in my records I have sent to her that weight loss is going to be harder for me then normal people. I have an obese BMI but thankfully am not pre diabetic yet, she said if she could she would put me on a GLP-1 but she knows my insurance won’t cover it. I was wondering if any state employees have been able to get on a weight loss medication without being diabetic and if so what was that like and how did you do it? I also know the weight management program should be opening in November and they would be finalizing plans in July.

So I have a boyfriend who has the condition and it’s not like a major bother to me as someone who is mentally ill and also disabled but I did wanna have some questions answered by the community as someone who lowkey has trust issues. So my best friend has done some research into the condition and basically she is like “since he is 23 and has the condition pop up so early it means that he was using hallucinogenic drugs like weed and that caused his condition to show earlier then it should.” Which makes me feel a little weird I guess? Because he still smokes and she is like “you need to tell him to quit getting high because it’s only going to deteriorate his mind more” but he told me that his doctor said “it was fine to do just not too much” but he also has “break throughs” on his meds like once a month. He told me that his condition is just gonna get worse but by a small amount and that his doctor told him that he will “still be functional when he is like 60” or so but I wonder would that be if he stoped smoking weed or if he kept smoking which he isn’t like a major pot head or stoner by any means it’s a weekend activity for him and he doesn’t get super high at all but I still worry. I care about him and work with patients who are a bit in younger years who are completely incapacitated due to their schizophrenia.

TLDR QUESTIONS:

1. Can taking hallucinogenic drugs before 25 cause schizophrenia to show up earlier?
2. When you are medicine resistant should you in any capacity take any hallucinogenic drugs even in moderation?
3. Would stopping taking hallucinogenic drugs maybe prevent breakthroughs on medication?

Hello! I’m F23, autistic, I think this might provide some explanation. I thought it would be nice to build more office connections with my team by getting all the moms on the team generic mother days cards. They are just basic cards for any mother not just specifically for your mom. I spent like 30 dollars on these cards and even had to hand make one because I missed someone when I thought I bought enough. My boss said it was very sweet and signed them but said he “felt bad because it feels like it’s coming from you (me)” and then I tried to get my other co worker to sign it and she had this weird look on her face and said “I don’t think I’m gonna sign it. She isn’t my mother” and so now I’m thinking it’s weird I bought everyone on the team mother days cards. Maybe people think cards are personal? I don’t really know or understand so that’s why I’m asking for advice.

UPDATE: I handed them out and everyone was very grateful my boss decided to add to the fun and bought some deserts for all of us to share in the conference room! We all love a reason to get together and snack so it was a perfect excuse!

Hello! I am not a reader of science fiction but my dad is. He likes to listen to audio books while he is on the road for work and Father’s Day is next month and so I wanna buy him a book on audible for him BUT- I wanna lowkey put in some propaganda for him. He is very conservative not to get super political but honestly it’s hurting our relationship because he often sees me as an enemy, has insulted me, and is overall kinda tough to be around as of late. I wanna try to maybe get him to read a story that might make him think a little or at least agree that the bad guys in the story that are maybe Fascist are evil or say that the capitalism in the book is bad. Or maybe a book about accepting people who are different than you? I wanna make it not too on the nose because he can kinda be smart at times. Suggest anything you think fits that category and I’ll ask him if he read it so I can buy it for him.

Okay so hi I’m 23F who is autistic and loves the taste of the “One A Day Teen Multi Gummy’s” because they legit taste so good. I’ve taken them since I was a teenager and I still take them as an adult. I take the 2 a day like it says on the bottle but I’m 23 so I was wondering do I need to take maybe more of the gummies to get what I need or do I need to bite the bullet and take adult woman vitamins

Hello, I’m asking mostly diagnosed neurodivergent employees here a question. Do you have accommodations for your work place? What do those look like and what was getting them set up like? It’s hard to mask due to the fact I am more socially inept then everyone else and my main team knows about my condition how ever I wonder what are the benefits of having my disability documented, the ways my disability effects me and having accommodations for that. If anyone has any advice or if your warning me against it. Let me know! Thank you!
