Hey, y’all. I am NOT asking for medical advice here but maybe just lived experience? Hubby and I want a kid, so I am getting off my GLP-1 for now. I have lost about 55lbs over the course of 7 months and have maintained that at a low dosage. I am confident I can maintain healthy habits, especially since my ADHD being untreated causes 99% of my weight gain from binging (eating as a stim). Now that that’s being treated, I’m not as worried. But I am TERRIFIED I will gain it all back. 😭 Has anyone has success? I will probably return to a maintenance dosage after I’m done having babies, because I do have PMOS, and presumably will for the rest of my life. And I do know that this medication is controlling my metabolic issue as well. But is there anything I can do in the meantime? Should I titrate down or go off cold turkey?

So, before I go any further I need to preface that the reason I wanna make sure that I’m not overreacting is because I am going through a lot emotionally right now. My best friend died of brain cancer five days ago, and I need to make sure that the feelings I’m feeling about this are being evaluated by somebody who is not so emotionally sensitive right now. I will also add that I’m autistic and have a huge problem not only recognizing that somebody is being inappropriate to me, but also knowing how to respond.

With that being said, I (29F) work for a school district. We routinely have subs in and out of the classroom, and in my case, in my specific program, we have a couple of subs that are more long-term. There is one specifically (27m) that has a very interesting sense of humor. He can often rub you the wrong way if you’re not used to his presence, but up until now none of the jokes that I’ve ever heard from him have been on the caliber of what he said to me today.

He knows I’m married, and often jokes about my husband coming to visit our classroom, but today when he started joking about my husband, took a turn for the more inappropriate. He started kind of offering himself if I ever “found myself unhappy”. And when I expressed that I am very happy in my marriage, he would respond with things like “but for how long?”. The first couple times he said this, I brushed it off, my older coworker was with me, and she looked as awkward as I felt. He then went on to continue to flirt with me, asking me if I’m actually happy with my husband, and that if I ever wasn’t, I knew where to find him. This went on for a couple minutes, with me awkwardly, trying to put an end to it, but he took his step further and started asking me “but what if he dies? What if he gets cancer or something?” Now this, obviously, made me quite upset. I love my husband more than life itself, and the fear of cancer has given me tons of anxiety lately. So hearing this just was the icing on top of the cake. The last thing he said at the end of the encounter was what I believed to be innuendo about him having a threesome with me and my husband. After he left, my older coworker that was present for the whole incident texted me and expressed how uncomfortable he made her. About how he wouldn’t take no for an answer, and that this is a pattern of behavior that seems dangerous.

My question is just would I be overreacting if I report it? He’s not a full-time employee, he doesn’t work for the district. He works for a sub program that lends substitute to our district. We only have about 13 days left in the school year, and I could easily request that he did not be asked back next year and just ignore him for the rest of the year. So part of me feels like I would be overreacting just because I’m sensitive if I report him when we’ll be out of school in 13 days. Please help. 😓
