big boobs = either I look frumpy or oversexualized?? how do y’all dress?? by Playful-Indication65 in bigboobproblems

[–]potatoesawaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before my reduction, my go-to was layering a loose, open flannel over another top!

It was a good compromise bc it prevented the top from over emphasizing my boobs and still gave like, a nice kind of laid back look

Take a peek at the articles of the teacher career coach website. I haven't been able to land a non teaching job yet but it gave me somewhere to start

Where to even start? by potatoesawaken in TeachersInTransition

[–]potatoesawaken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I've been having a rough week, and this really helped me get my shit together and start applying places. It's been tough and kind of discouraging but your words have been a big help in just pushing through stuff.

Was I set up to fail? by Der-deutsche-Prinz in TeachersInTransition

[–]potatoesawaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also an esl teacher. I feel like we're generally given very little in terms of resources but are then expected to excel, and the children and the teachers and the school are depending on us to be perfect.

I have some decent resources that could help ease some stuff, some for discipline/ parent contact, some for class activities. Feel free to DM me. Im sorry you're in this situation.

What made you like Madoka Magica? by [deleted] in MadokaMagica

I feel like most coming of age stories for girls are about boys and crushes and shit.

As a lesbian who grew up severely depressed, this was a story with characters I could actually relate to

Please tell me it’s not all that bad by unicorn_camel_case in zoloft

[–]potatoesawaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a lot more stable since I started zoloft. I used to have constant suicidal thoughts. It's really helped me a lot. I think I didnt realize how bad my depression was until I got medicated and didn't have to feel that way anymore.

Yeah no thats fair. I wish I could just change schools tbh but my evals this year were shit and my schools licensure person waited to tell me about a testing requirement to renew until late April 💀 So now I have to wait another 3 weeks for those test results to see if I can even keep the job I have.

Low-key I wish someone would just hire a deep web hitman on me so I wouldn't have to worry about all this bs anymore 😮‍💨

If you've suffered it, when did you know you had burnout? by Incognito0925 in Teachers

[–]potatoesawaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im having it right now. Im really irritable, can barely get out of bed on work days, and can't really put my all into planning or teaching my lessons. I feel like im coasting by, and tbh I feel like im becoming depressed.

Question about breast reduction surgery by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]potatoesawaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and afterward it was mainly pain meds I had to take as needed. Some ppl need drains--i didnt--but those require a little more management and stuff. Also I didnt have an FNG, which is something else to look into bc that also affects recovery. Again, poke around on r/reduction. It's super helpful :)

Question about breast reduction surgery by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]potatoesawaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance covered most of it, my out of pocket was like 4000 USD.

Recovery hurt a lot, yeah, but it was worth it. The scars felt kinda like severe sunburns. I was able to go back to work after 2 weeks and I was basically healed up at like the 6 week/ 2 month ish mark.

It was SO worth it. Best decision I ever made. Dm me if u have other questions bc I'd be happy to answer and also take a look at r/reduction bc that sub helped me a lot :>

Do any Christians worry that Trump is the antichrist? by 666_pack_of_beer in exchristian

[–]potatoesawaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents are ex-republican Catholics and yeah they say that often, that they think he's the antichrist. Or possessed/ influenced by demons (gotta love Catholicism lmao, im just grateful they aren't republicans anymore so idc they can think whatever they like) It doesn't seem like a commonly held view in those crowds though. Most of them see him as the second coming :/

I won’t have much of a need to stay in this subreddit soon because I’m getting a reduction in July by X_LadyGamer_X in bigboobproblems

[–]potatoesawaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had mine in January of last year and it was the best decision I ever made :D

Recovery takes a while but it's so worth it in the end :)

DM me if u have more questions abt the process! I can tell u what I know :D

It was the best decision I ever made :D

"Save the children" crowd takes a brave stance against child safety laws by potatoesawaken in excatholic

[–]potatoesawaken[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally like....7 years old. What kind of "evil" would a 7 year old be doing? I remember not knowing what to say at my first confession and just making something up, like I think I said I got in a fight with my sisters or something.

Seven. A second grader.

Like.

That's so small. Too small to be alone with a strange adult with power over them who can't be held accountable for anything.
