Gift after staying at someone’s house

I will have stayed at my brother’s house for 2 and a half weeks. I’d like to get something for him and my sister-n-law. Taking them out for dinner could have been an option, but we don’t have any nights free at this point.

I hate when I get triggered because someone makes a stupid comment about trauma.

At a great get together today. Great people, having a good time….then someone mentioned a sad thing from the news (boating accident) and someone says something like “things happen when we put ourselves there” or some such thing.

Maybe it’s a way that people try to make sense of things? To believe that bad things won’t happen to them?

But then right away it’s not a boat accident anymore. I’m right in the middle of my own traumatic event. My heart starts beating fast. Time stops. And now I’m not having a good time at all party anymore. I hate it.

Who should I message when I need a quicker response?

I have a time sensitive question, and haven't heard back from my doc. I messaged them yesterday at 9:30 AM, and it's now 4 PM the next day. I'm wondering if maybe my expectations are unrealistic, or if I should be messaging a nurse instead?

Richard’s visit with Lorelai

I hate how awful Richard is to Lorelai during his visit to Stars Hollow. Lorelai clearly explains all of the boundaries he has crossed, and he takes no responsibility. Instead, he complains about being obsolete now that he’s retired. And it works. Lorelai shuts up, and her face and body show how badly she feels for her dad. Richard and Emily are completely manipulative. I love Richard at times…and then I remember who he is and how hard her childhood must have been. Growing up rich has lots of perks. But all a child really wants is to be loved unconditionally.

anxious about starting

I've read so many negative comments. Anxiety is arleady an issue for me...I guess I don't know what my question is. Just worried. I am not worried about the session itself - it's hearing that some people experience worse anxiety after treatment.

Can it help with anxiety and cptsd?

I’m starting next month. I’m very nervous. I know it treats with depression. I’m wondering how it has helped some of you with anxiety and/or cptsd. I’m afraid a lot. I imagine worst case scenarios. I worry about everything. My body is tense. My nervous system is always on high alert. Has anyone had relief and can you tell me what that’s been like?

Limited messaging

I don’t have access to a laptop now. From my phone, I have limited access to Messages. I don’t see the name of my doctor. I need to know how many units to take. I was told 50 units. But I am almost out of the needles that were sent to me and I’m trying to use the other ones I have. They are totally different. One says one mill and they’re degradations up to 100. The other one says .5 mL and it goes up to 50. This probably should be obvious to me, but it is not.

The new Death Star school districts - anyone else?

A change has been happening to my old district back in another state simultaneously while the same change has been happening in my district in my current state.

The district higher-ups have moved to a fancier building with little access given to teachers. The admin are much more disconnected from staff. HR makes more random decisions instead of the more thoughtful staffing that used to happen. HR doesn’t respond to emails. Absolutely bananas decisions are happening constantly.

It’s highly dystopian. It’s interesting that his change has been happening in two districts I’m connected to at the same rate - one in the Midwest, one on the West Coast.

Do you know what I mean? Is this happening by you? Any theories/explanations?

April‘s mom‘s personality is all over the place.

In the beginning, we don’t like her because she kept Luke from his daughter. But then there are multiple times in which she’s supportive, appreciative, and compliments Luke. It was a little hard for me to believe how drastically she changed again at the end.

My job is being given to someone who doesn't do a lot of their job. Do I say anything to my boss?

I work with someone who doesn't do a lot of their job. I don't know how aware the currernt and past supervisors are. Because they are on my team, I've gotten lots of complaints about them over the years. I've always told people to talk to my coworker directly or talk to the boss. I am not in charge. And now they are taking my job. I had my performance review last week and got very good ratings. When I asked for feedback on things I could improve on, my boss had nothing to offer. I think this is job change is happening due to systems issue. I'm not sure. I'm not being told why. I'm not looking to fight or change the decision. There's nothing left to do -I don't have any power here. I'll move along. But it is obviously a bananans decision. A lot of people are upset about it. Do I just keep my mouth shut? I know my supervisor well. I won't be working for them anymore. While I'm not claiming I'm not angry (Yes, I'm very angry), I'm not looking to punish the other person. Their job performance will no longer affect me, and I'll be fine. But the fact that this has gone on for years and they are now being rewarded ...it seems like at some point, someone should speak up. They affect the whole workplace, all kinds of coworkers, and, most importantly, our agency works with a vulnerable and underserved population.

missed dose

I missed a dose (long story) and I can't get a hold of my doc. I don't expect anyone to give me medical advice. I just want to know what your experience was. I was at 40 for 2 weeks. Doc recommended I go up to 50 or 60 last week and I didn't. That was 5 days ago. Now I don't know if I should go up to 50 or 60 or back to 20 or stay at 40 and I'm a big stress ball. Imagining I might not hear back from doc until monday and at that point I'll be way off track.

Trauma makes hard things harder.

I’ve been at the same workplace for years. Good reputation. Good evaluations. Strong relationships with coworkers. I was just told I’m being transferred. I was not given a reason. We didn’t lose a spot. They just switched me with someone else. I have no recourse.

And that’s hard for anyone. But when you have trauma, losing relationships is destabilizing in a way that others can't relate to. Knowing I won’t see the same people every day anymore - people I’ve depended on and who have depended on me for years…I can’t breathe. It’s like being a child again. Back when I was a no one. Had no control. No recourse.

My nervous system is different now. What’s stressful for everyone will take a long time for me to recover from.

BSD needs to drop the talk about belonging, equity, and trauma informed.

The district just moved teachers around with no thought to how it affects humans - both the staff themselves, the children with relationships to these adults, and the families who have grown to depend on them. I'm not talking about changes that had to happen to save jobs. I'm talking about the randomness that happened because ... well I really have no idea. Call it what it is. Call it a business. Get rid of the buzz words.

Long enough walking pads for someone 5'7?

I ordered a walking pad, and injured myself because it wasn't long enough. The internet tells me that someone 5'7 or taller should have something 55 inches or longer. I'm not finding ones are that long. Taller people - advice?

dairy cravings

I'm still at a very low dose, and I know it's probably too early to expect results. But I'm worried about whether it will help with my dairy cravings. I'm obsessed with dairy. My very favorite is milk. I'm obsessed. Do others have cravings like this, and has it helped? I worry that it's such an emotional/comfort craving that the medicine won't touch it. I tried ozempic previously and it didn't help at all (except for briefly initially).

I think I accidentally took 100 mg this morning instead of at night. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

I’m dizzy and tired. Anyone else done this? Does anyone know how long it will last? Is there anything I can do? I’m at work. I I can’t seem to go back to type. It’s trazodone. I’ve taken this much before. Four times as much. So it’s not dangerous. I’m just trying to wake up. I’m at work.

Is anyone aware of an affordable option to get GLAD training?

As an educator at the elementary level, I would very much like to be GLAD trained. I’m wondering if there is an affordable option to do so. It doesn’t look like our district will provide this anytime soon.
