help! is this gregg transcription adequate?

help! is this gregg transcription adequate?

it’s supposed to read ‘i protect what is unabashedly mine’. i plan to get this tatted on my inner arm at some point, but want to make sure the word forms are correct. i love gregg shorthand, and it has deep significance to me because i learned it in order to journal without my things being read by my parents. but i was also never that great at memorizing the abbreviations! poor penmanship aside, do you suggest any alterations to the words? any input is greatly appreciated!

lost parakeet found near libby lake

my roommate saved this bird from getting attacked by a crow in the apartments by libby lake. i know wild parakeets are thing, but this one seems like a pet. don’t think it flies and seems somewhat used to humans. also posted on facebook/nextdoor

any queer-friendly hairstylist/barber recommendations in north county?

hey! looking to find a hairstylist/barber in north county, especially one with experience cutting mullets. i specify queer-friendly because i’m queer and trans, so sometimes i feel a bit out of place in heterosexual-domiant barber shops and am not always satisfied with the results (especially being in oside, lots of marine cuts). if anyone knows of someone they could recommend me, it would be greatly appreciated!

i’m moving eight hours away at the end of the month. what am i forgetting that i need to do to be prepared?

i just got out of a five year relationship (i’m 22, and have been with this person since i was 16), and decided to move five hundred miles across the state to live with friends. so it’s a big one. i was going to stay here for another two months to finish a CNA course i planned to take, but it’s looking like i won’t get in and i’m still living with my now ex and their brother, so i have to be out by the end of the month to avoid an unnecessary rent payment.

i plan to study and attend a different program out there. i’ll be in the living room for a month or so before we move into a bigger place, and my friend plans to help me get a position at their current job. in the meantime, i also do doordash/uber eats for extra income and have about $1k of cushioning in the meantime. i plan to get a maintenance check for my car to make sure it’s good for the trip. still have to split insurance with my ex for now, and they probably won’t be able to take me off the lease until it expires in august, but they’ll be able to make the rent and i don’t think they’d try and screw me over somehow. i have to order a mattress to be delivered up here. update my address on everything. remove myself from the electric bill. i don’t have health insurance right now, so i need to sign up for it again under a new county when i get out there. what else am i missing? i can’t shake the feeling that i’m forgetting something important, and it’ll screw me over when i get there.

Is it a good idea to start retaking the week’s worth of SSRIs i have left?

I used to be on 150mg Wellbutrin + 5mg Lexapro, which I stopped taking around the beginning of the year when I lost my insurance. Unfortunately, I most likely can’t get insurance again or get a refill till I want to say August (thanks America).

I have a little more than a week’s worth left. I’ve done fairly well without the medication, not much of a depressive mood. But I just broke up with my boyfriend of five years two days ago and I’m going through it. I’m of no risk to myself, but it’s becoming difficult to get through the day again and I don’t want to risk slipping, because once I do it’s very difficult to climb out of that state.

I’ve stopped and restarted this regimen three separate times and experience very little side effects, no increased suicidality. I was considering taking what’s left to help me get through this as I figure out where I’m gonna go and what I need to do. However, I’m worried starting and stopping could do more harm than good to my brain chemistry and I don’t have my psychiatrist’s contact info to ask for advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

this is my third time trying to go back to school and i finally did it! only one class, but i’m about to finish it with an A and then take a CNA course this summer.

two years ago my dad died when i was 19 and depression threw off my trajectory. quit my job, almost lost my boyfriend. but this year’s been a lot better. i learned to drive and started doing doordash, i do it before and after my fast food job and work 12-14 hr days but im investing and saving to take us on trips. i’m finally working on a book i’ve had plans for since i was 14. things are looking up!
