I’ve dealt with this for as long as I can remember. I’ve always just felt my anxiety immediately in my legs whenever I get scared or nervous. If I’m scared they just feel like heavy stones and I even just forget how to freaking walk lol. When I’m stuck in my head or just anxious or just having an anxiety attack throughout the day, my legs are just gone, completely numb feeling like jello. It’s weird to explain but the feeling itself just makes me EVEN MORE anxious. When I was 17 I went through a new therapy form called A.R.T (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) for my ptsd and anxiety. It went really well and for once in my life I felt okay. Unfortunately my life sucks and I experienced being “kicked out” (ITS A LONGGG STORY) and it kinda “reversed” the process. Even still as years went on (I’m now 20) I RARELY got anxiety jello legs or stone legs anymore. Recently though I’ve been experiencing stuff with, basically being on the edge of losing my job because of health reason and just trying my best to be a grown up, doing phone calls, paper work, etc it’s so annoying man… but I also started school, same career path that I actually dropped out of twice because of my anxiety. I’ve been in medication and it just DESTROYED me physically and mentally that I’m scared to try something new…. I don’t have money for therapy because my A.R.T process was actually probono…

Does anyone else deal with this? How do you cope with it?

I’m currently dealing with stuff at my current job and today I’m making calls but it’s really seeming like they might let me go, which really sucks because I was so close to hitting 2 years with them, even had enough money coming in for me to start school earlier this month. If I lose this job this will be my 3rd time dropping out of school for financial issues. My school hours are late evenings, so I really need something early in the morning!!! My current job I start at 5am.

what is out there that I could apply for ???

So I currently have been on an intermittent leave since September for a disease I have that was making it scary for me to work and caused me to be a liability. I’ve had 2 different times, where I had to go see my doctor again just to prove to them I was actually sick, and have my doctor resign paper work and even extend my days for my illness.

Now I’m dealing with a new situation I wasn’t even aware of, my most recent absence was denied for “exhausting out my time”. I called to speak with an agent and she told me it’s because I haven’t been going to work? I asked her how does that make sense when I’m sick? I also asked if a new packet or form will be sent out so my doctor can work this out. And she basically said nothing will be sent out because I have to go to work to basically earn my intermittent leave days?? I don’t know if I’m the dummy here because I haven’t ever heard of this since I started my leave..
I’m about to call my facility to see what my people’s lead can do because I’m at 4 points so this would literally put me on termination. I’m also working to do an actual accommodation with Walmart so I don’t have to miss a whole day

I hit -3 dollars yesterday and transferred a bit back into my account from my only savings, which is my rent money, so I don’t have interest build up on having to pay that. Then I got a message that my hospital bills for an appointment is due at the end of this month before it goes into collections (I have a chronic disease so I have a lot of appointments that racked up) AND THEN TODAY I GOT A LETTER THAT MY INSURANCE MESSED UP AND I ACTUALLY OWE MORE MONEY.
On top of that I program I have been eyeing finally was up and I joined and now need to pay my enrollment fee (I already started and need to stay there because I NEED a high paying job) and to make it worse nearly everything in my pantry is out and I ran out of shampoo and conditioner..
I’m starting to understand cheapskates, drug dealers, and scam artists. I’m at my limit man

I don't know if l'Il make sense or if anyone else experiences this, but I can't handle the crunch noises I can hear. I can hear what I try to eat inside my mouth like an echo and it just increases my anxiety more and just triggers my gag reflex and I attempt to swallow. This has made it impossible to try and overcome fear foods.
It's so weird though because I can handle things like chips and other hard things that make a crunch. I can still hear myself chewing and the "echo" with other foods but for some reason my anxiety and reflexes just react so badly with vegetables and other fear foods..

(I posted this on adults ARFIDs but couldnt cross post)

I started having this symptom at 15 and over the years it just is so freaking painful. I genuinely can’t take off my bra without my breast hurting so bad and feeling so heavy, I can feel my skin pulling. What even causes this or how do deal with the pain???

I’m a visual learner and a very hands on person so having to read and study is something I struggled badly on… I’m prepared honestly to probably fail the first time but I still have hope I could maybe pass first try :’) what websites, videos, slideshows, games, etc helped you study for radiology??

I hit a customers cart really hard on my like 5th week. I cried to my coach that I HATED picking and pulling from the sides or front hurt my arms and I was too traumatized after that. After a few months I finally got comfortable with pulling but was mostly placed in backroom after that. Unfortunately we’ve had 2 new coaches, 5 new team leads, so now I’m just done explaining that I rather be in backroom and not schedule to pick. A couple months back I started taking my 6 totes, leaving the top totes empty without a tote and placing stickers 7-8 on the top (because they had the least, SOMETIMES) so I could push and see in front of me, when I got back to the backroom then I would put the items inside totes like normal.

BUT NOW since this whole cart situation as been going on our store forced all the carts to be pulled (they switched the wheels) and I was okay with it UNTIL THEY CHANGES IT TO BACK TO PUSHING AND 6 TOTES. I was so RELIEVED, BUT THEY STILL HAVENT CHNAGED OUR DAMN WHEELS BACK. I know it’ll happen soon BUT THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN LIVING FOR AS A SHORT PERSON IN OPD I WANT OUR CARTS BACK TO NORMAL </3

I started wondering this recently because I have a coworker who’s 7’2ft tall and his hair always is so greasy. It made me realize he’s probably taller than his shower head.. do they have to get them adjusted to be able to actually stand under them? Or do they get those ones on cords that you can take off

I’m a 20F my boyfriend is 22 and his brother just turned 18 in March. We also live with his mom so I’m basically the odd one out but I pay my share of rent and I’m on the lease. My problem and wondering what do I do, is because his brother is a disrespectful prick, and is allowing people into our home without him being there or anyone at all being home. Not only that but they know our freaking garage code. We’ve had other problems with him all year long while being here. I’m just reaching my limit now with his “new” girlfriend walking herself in and her friends when no one else is home. I confronted them once but I don’t know what I’m allowed to say or do so I didn’t ask them to leave but told them it’s weird to come in without someone being here to actually ALLOW you in. I don’t want to seem like the BITCH here but it’s only May and we’ve seen like 10 different “girlfriends” of his. I’ve talked to his mom and she is the type to not want to start drama and has talked to him but nothing is happening. Today was my final straw and I’m just wondering what I can start legally doing to stop these random ass people from coming in. He’s 18 and hasn’t signed himself onto the lease now that he’s an “adult” but I definitely can’t kick him out because I feel like that’ll put me in a bad place with his mom. I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years so his mom and I are close. My boyfriend has also been trying to be out communication because I just will freaking explode and yell at him.

Anyways just a little run down what can I legally do or say as someone in a binding lease with his mom and my boyfriend, BUT HE is not on the lease and our lease stats anyone that stays here for more than 14 days (which they have, also EVEN more people raising our water bill BECAUSE HIS BROTHER DOESNT PAY RENT) what can I freaking do!?

I noticed earlier last week they started just sending EVERYONE out the back room to pick. I work at early starting at 5am and our orders come in at 7am, our new TL has been sending everyone and keeping them out until the last minute. We are left having to prep with orders that haven’t even been staged yet. HUGE backed up line and even then HE STILL SENDS PEOPLE OUT. We are in a supercenter but we have the people to knock down 1000+ picks, It’s even more frustrating because it’ll be picks due at 8am THAT HES SENDING PEOPLE TO GET. I was thinking maybe they’re going it to help our numbers, even though it’s annoying because it’s putting so much pressure on the 1-2 people they do leave TO DO EVERYTHING in the backroom. I’m only realizing now it’s probably because we “talk” and stand around “too much”. I’ve literally pulled all 3 of my TLs into my OWN meeting to tell them what everyone says behind their backs because we are just so frustrated how they think we don’t do anything, when it’s not even close to the truth. We get SLAMMED and then we have a nice moment of 2 minutes of nothing. THEY ALWAYS ALWAYYSSS come back into the backroom during those minutes of NOTHING. If there is small runs to do then yes I agree we should go out of our way to do them and be back as soon as possible, but an auto selected with the chances of getting from 10-100 ITEMS? That’s so stupid and just abandoning your team ESPECIALLY WITH THE BACKROOM WHERE EVERYTHING CAN GO WRONG AND RUSHES JUST HAPPEN.
Anyways UGH. 2 of those TLs are gone (fired 😬) and now we have 2 new ones that started this thing and I’m not sure if our coach told them to start doing this. It’s like we don’t even have roles anymore we are just on EVERYTHING. There were so many times today I was talking to my coworker about something work related and even FIGURING SOMETHING OUT.. and our tl would walk up and say “hey can you go get this ___ for me?” And I started replying “sure but I’m currently busy with this at the moment unless you want to take over” and ofc his response is hurry up and finish and do a run…. Pissed me off so badly when I was in a rush with staging and GMDS and said “go do this oversized please” and it was due at 11am when it was 9am.

Anyone else’s store like this?? Am I in the wrong for hating this?

So now we have 8 carts that we are forced to pull because it’s impossible to push safely with the wheels flipped.

I noticed just a few minutes ago while in the shower that my areoles are red. Not only that but they have rash type of blisters/bumps on them. I’m out of the shower now and they still have this redness to them and these bumps but I don’t feel any pain? Is this something “normal” or something serious

I’m 20(F) and I’ve always just had short hair just to now have to deal with doing much to my hair besides brushing and a basic ponytail. I also always dyed and bleached my hair so having it down helped my confidence of having it down since I didn’t know how to do ANYTHING. Not even with heat tools. I started practicing curling my hair at 15, IT WAS TERRIBLE. I also tried those sleep in rods, also terrible at it. Now that I’m growing out my hair(it’s at my collarbones) I’m finally watching videos online about how to do different types of buns and half up/half down updos and so many other things. I just can’t believe how much there is to do with you hair that no woman ever taught me in my life.. ALONG WITH HAIRCARE.

I never only went to salons around till the age of 8 because I took matters into my own hand and gave myself a bob and that was the start of my short hair that my parents stopped taking me. I also only learned how to dye and bleach from my sisters friend. Yet none of those people ever taught me how to do anything with actually STYLING MY HAIR

YEARS of embarrassment of my hair because I didn’t know how to do anything just to finally learn at 20
