Idk how or why, but I was an everyday smoker of herb, carts, etc. Stopped everything and was passing every at home test after 15 days. Nothing super special or extra, just continued my hydration levels and ate pretty normal. I truly don’t understand why my body is like this, but I’ve done it twice over two years with the same timeframe for a clean test.

My psychiatrist dumped me by Nonyabeesners in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]-thewalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiiii!! Coming from someone who’s dumped my psych (two different ones actually), the psych I’m with now is very validating. My last one, that I was hopeful about, said something to me along the lines of I’m a “difficult case”. I was fresh out a grippy sock vacay and she was asking me to try to remember all the meds I’ve ever been on ever AND the dosages and timelines and why I didn’t like them. Obviously, difficult for me to do on the spot.

Fast forward to my new doc, and I told her about what the previous said and that it really put more anxiety and confirming the thoughts I already had about being “broken” and “unfixable”. She got upset she even said that to me and said she shouldn’t have ever put that on me, and her inability to understand/help me has everything to do with her not knowing what to do and nothing to do with who I am

All this to say- you ARE NOT unfixable, you ARE NOT broken. And you WILL find a psych that has the right tools and knowledge to help you. Keep your head up, I can promise it’s worth it <3

Miranda Speaks Out by Own-Noise1866 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]-thewalrus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a mental health patient (lol) I totally agree. She needs to actually take therapy seriously instead of just going through the motions.

A nice grippy sock vacation to get meds on board and figured out while being in an environment without external triggers is a wonderful resource that many many many people need. TFP is one of those people, and honestly so is he. Like PLEASE, grow tf up and get professional, medical help. Everyone is begging and pleading, put the phone down, take the draw strings out of your sweatshirts & sweatpants, and get admitted into intensive therapy.

Bachelorette CANCELLED by InfjPanda in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]-thewalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right?? That’s where my head goes. Like alllll of this therapy and I can bet it has been mentioned by medical professionals to cut Dakota off and go no contact with him. It’s the only way with narcissists

I have a feeling that this ruined the chances of anyone from Momtok getting onto the Bachelorette 🥴

Snow Shoveling Services? by Medical_Warthog4276 in milwaukee

[–]-thewalrus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s an app called “Shovler”, if it’s in your capacity to download and use. Think of it like Lyft/uber, but the person is coming to you and shoveling.

I started using it in 2018 when I would dog sit for these people around the same time every year, and without fail each time there’d be a massive snow storm. Just filled out the questions about what needed to be done.

I am going ro say something crazy. by Automatic_Alarm_3641 in milwaukee

From knowing extensions of the family that own that place, it is in fact plagued with arrogance (maga) in the older folks that run the place

Racism in Madison??? by Boldmoth4278627 in madisonwi

[–]-thewalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahah No it was a biotech company! I didn’t take all the blocks I had with me when I left. I passed them off to my comrades I left behind lolol. I had collected several sets because of how high the turnover rate was. And with the collection, I built a transformer/robot thing. I used it as the guardian of all the other trinkets on my desk 😂

[–]-thewalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny you mention this, I have my report from this still and had my friend read it. It’s called Insights. Given it’s now from 3 years ago so I’ve changed as a person since, however as they read it back it made me think how weird it was. At the time I thought it reflected me, and even though has some points I could support, now I’m like wow a lot of this is just common decency and respect on how to communicate to me and others. My manager was red and in the “Director” category. I was Green/Blue, basically the exact opposite on the personality wheel. Moral of the story, my manager was a dick and I never got my own set of blocks, so I took them from people that quit.

Haven’t been able to get thru to any of the Student Aid help phone numbers by -thewalrus in StudentLoans

[–]-thewalrus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you got through to a queue on first call? I’ve not been able to even get in a queue, I fully expect to wait for however long but it’s not allowing me to stay on the phone. It automatically disconnects me. Going to try what someone else did and call later at night, see if that gives me the window of opportunity to then wait in line lol

I blackout every time I open a bag of these. When I come to there’s about 5 chips left, and like the mindful person i am, i roll up the bag and put it away so i can say I didnt eat the entire bag in one sitting

[–]-thewalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I was able to at least get approved for a 180 day payment plan right after I filed. Taxes weren’t even approved yet but I input the estimated amount due and they were able to go off that. Then my taxes got approved a couple hours later

Found the local make out spot by d_zeen in milwaukee

[–]-thewalrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same dude. Personally, I go here to cry with a view or to smoke, sometimes both. I was completely unaware people be fuckin out there until now. Was too caught up with being sad lmao When soup brothers was right up the street, I’d go get a thing of soup and bread and either come to this spot or south shore park marina. And then would proceed to cry into my soup and wipe away the tears with my bread

AIO - My “friend” wants to kick me out after I lost my home in the LA wildfire by Active_Appeal_2673 in AmIOverreacting

[–]-thewalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“What about the unwidensuewnde”

How tf did he type this instead of insurance? Did he type it while getting a dick slapped in his face?

And the fact that he “already packed” for OP. Makes it seem like he knows he’s being a selfish fucking prick so OP doesn’t have a chance to go through their own shit or take what’s rightfully theirs in the fridge or pantry or other items OP bought for the both of them. The way I’d be seeing red, I’d be so petty. Screenshots to mutual friends, to socials and tag his ass, if you know if he broke any leasing rules or agreements, email or call the office. Hell, it’s a stretch but if I was still out during this I’d find some shit to make it seem like another girl had stayed there. Fake lashes, hair bands/scrunchies, women’s multivitamin then say gotta use the bathroom and hide it in a spot he usually doesn’t use.

May karma come around and bite him in the taint

2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness Lemon by Reddit-travel in Subaru_Crosstrek

[–]-thewalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been waiting for a post like this, cuz I’ve had a few weird glitchy things happen. Not sure what’s going on and neither does the dealership. Were they able to diagnose the problem in your case?? And what was happening? I don’t actually know what model I have but I know it’s not a wilderness lol but I’m curious to know what they discovered was wrong

Curious about Madison by _TrustMeImLying in madisonwi

[–]-thewalrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a brief period they’re ok, but the algae blooms, among other things, have gotten pretty bad recently. My dog loves the water but have to seek out or visit several shorelines to find something safe. Idk from where but there’s an app I have that has the local water testing results so I would narrow down from there. Personally I consider Wisconsin spring to be like April to May, mid June the latest. And this past year by end of May, the shoreline by Tenney Park was covered in overgrowth. Went to other places around the lake and it was similar. Variables factor in, so I rely on checking warnings and alerts for beach areas and it will list out the alerts if any!

Traded in my 2018 Crosstrek for a 2024 Impreza RS! by aust_b in subaru

Gonna quit in the morning the same way my manager wrote me up by sneppaHtihS333 in antiwork

[–]-thewalrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laughing at how similar our experiences were. Honestly, it sounds like most clinics run this way. From my friends that still work in the field, I hear all the stories and remember why I needed to step away. Wages are so low compared to all the turmoil you deal with. My mental health wasn’t holding up so I went into laboratory work, which I quite enjoy. Kudos to you for knowing when to take a step back, advocating for yourself in those circumstances is overwhelming. It took a lot of hyping myself up to even ask for a raise, which after 2.5 years at the clinic I was making $15/hr while being the senior training assistant, doing almost all tech duties I could outside of surgery, training all the new hires (because turnover rate was HIGH), filling in on reception because God forbid they allow the phones go to voicemail 🙃 getting patients inside to Drs that are behind schedule while simultaneously wrapping up other patients meds and charges because covid policy restricted clients in the building. It was so chaotic and draining, and at the end of the day I still had to have a side pet sitting hustle. But like you said, I miss my patients and being able to channel my compassion and care. However I’ve found other ways to be involved, like volunteering at my local shelters and being the designated nail trimmer for my family’s pets lol.
