I stopped smoking carts 2 days ago. I was smoking every night and on days off sometimes all day, a 1g cart would last a few weeks. I’m in grad school for social work and I have an internship this fall with a police department. I figured they’ll have to drug test me so I stopped 30 days exactly before I have to go in for all my onboarding paperwork/ fingerprinting (I know it’s cutting close but they reached out and said let’s just do the paperwork soon).

I. Can’t. Sleep. Oh my god this is the WORST. I thought I had sleep problems before, literally had a sleep test a few weeks ago, but this is next level. I’ve been groggy, napping most the day, and barely sleeping at night. It’s a chore to move my body, my limbs feel like cement. And it’s been 2 DAYS, it hit faster than I thought.

Lots of ppl are saying exercise to sweat it out but rn we’re in a heatwave plus me on SSRIs= overheating so I’m taking small walks but sweating like crazy. Anything to help with the sleep? Vitamins? Melatonin?

It’s currently 6 am, I went to “sleep” at 1 am after napping 4-8 pm last night and I don’t think I actually slept. I had my sleep eye mask and I just kept tossing and turning, maybe micro naps but who knows.

I’ve been in therapy on and off for the most part of 12 years (13yo-25yo). I’ve been with the same therapist for 98% of that time. I’ve been going once a week for years now and it gets to the point where I’m dreading it and it’s more of an inconvenience.

I’ve noticed in the last year ish she isn’t as connected as she used to be. She feels detached and she usually ends the hour session about 40-45 min in (atp fine by me I don’t want to be there anyway). More background, I’m in grad school for clinical social work, all my classes are therapy sessions when you think of it. I really don’t feel the need to see her anymore but last time I mentioned it about a year ago, she literally said “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” And at the time, she was right. I see her tmw (we meet via video call), and I want to mention I don’t want to attend anymore, not even like once a month but like never until further notice.

Help!

I was literally just chillin when it hit me like a truck the realization of my dream last night.

For context, my sister-in-law is about 20 weeks along with her second child, a boy. They have a 1.5-year-old son who’s named after said grandfather who passed away a little over 10 years ago.

Now for my dream, stay with me it’s blurry, I was in a hospital room, and someone (a nurse?) said “Who’s ready to see grandpa?” I felt excitement and then here comes my baby grandfather. The best I can explain is as if you took a picture of my grandpa at his grandpa age, but with overly airbrushed editing on his face, and in a swaddle as if he was just born. My sister-in-law wasn’t in the dream, I think it was me, my dad, and a few others and he, my baby grandpa, was brought out to us and put on a hospital-type bed.

What’s frustrating is that no one in my family really believes me when I say I have dreams that predict things and sometimes pick up on ~vibes~ and I’m ALWAYS spot on, happens a handful of times a year I’d say. They kinda go “ok 🙂” and carry on. So like, did I literally dream that my unborn nephew is my grandfather reincarnated even when they named their first son after said grandpa?

I've had a hard time sleeping for a long time now. I did a home test, which wasn't good enough, so I'm going in tomorrow for an overnight office sleep test.

In the last week or so, I started using a sleep eye mask because the shades I have let in some light, which wakes me up early. My sleep has improved since using this eye mask. So now I'm over here wondering if that was the solution all along, and I hope this sleep test isn't a waste of time. During the first appointment with the ENT thy used a scope down my nose and noticed the base of my tongue is enlarged, which can also contribute to bad sleep.

Should I bring the eye mask? Is the sleep mask the cure? I feel like that would be a bit embarrassing, thinking I have sleep apnea when really I need a $5 sleep mask

I don't remember anyone, even the mean kids, being so disrespectful towards subs. The teacher put in bold and all caps "No Laptops." I put that on the board. Everyone has laptops out... I say, "Guys, she was very clear when she said no laptops, let's put those away, please." And immediately, a student from the back goes, "I do what I want, no one tells me."

This is a very expensive private Christian school, and I've had nothing but back-to-back disrespect from students. I've heard stories of long-time seasoned teachers not being able to handle students. What is happening?

Got in this morning and was assigned to an art class; no biggie. First thing I noticed was there wasn't a desk, it's a podium. No seat, and the part of the podium that holds everything up on the slant is falling off. The floor near the podium is cluttered with papers, art tools, pencils, and the underside of the podium is so full of random stuff it's overflowing; there's a used electric toothbrush loose as well. I doubt that's for art. I usually like to tidy up a bit as a sub, but this... this is bad.

I remember there was an episode where Ava was caught slacking with wearing the same dress as Janine. Then I think her old sorority sister comes in and says some snarky thing. Ava says something like “I’m locked in at the clock factory” or “I’m locked in the clock factory.” Was it at a budget meeting or a panel? I have searched everything and everywhere, nothing has come up and I know I’m not crazy

I applied to a dispensary about a week or so ago for a summer temp position, and haven't heard back. This job is perfect with the hours and money, plus tips, and it'll be my last job before I graduate from grad school and get a big girl job. Since it's a summer job, if I were to call and ask for an update, would it be too soon? In my last few jobs, I got via a connection, so I didn't have to do all that. Are people still showing up to places in person after a week or so, or is that outdated? What's the updated protocol so I don't look like a try-hard?
