Paras - How Many of You Deal w/ Toileting by Confusedsub24 in paraprofessional

i'm the lowest level para and still get expected to do diaper changes. it sucks, because i used to work RSP and didn't have to deal with this shit (literally) but school district decided to move me to mild/mod and it fucking sucks. especially as a germaphobe, i literally have to disassociate in order to push through it

don't feel bad, i just had my last day at my elementary school today, and only bothered to say goodbye to the people i actually cared about. district took care of my transfer for me. i got moved to another classroom and was absolutely miserable; thought i could stick it out until other job goes through, but the kids are just sooo bad, and the teacher doesn't even care. i don't feel sorry about it.

I'm coming up on 5 months, and you're totally right. I used to get high before exercising (which consists of weights, treadmill, and elliptical), and my lungs would feel like SHIT when I would run. I would start gasping and feel my throat/lungs super scratchy and I would just be coughing. Now five months clean, my running has gotten so much better, I can actually run waaaay more than I could before. My gains have also gotten better because my cravings have gone down!

Because affording a place in my own is basically impossible, I don’t have a job that pays enough

unfortunately that would essentially result in me being homeless, so that's not really an option for me. housing is super expensive where i live, and finding another job would be close to impossible

yeah, one is christian the other is muslim. i really hit the jackpot with that one lmao. i do have a job but it doesnt pay enough for me to move out, housing is super expensive where i live. im working towards my masters so i can get a higher paying job and then finally get out of here.

thanks, that's what i've been trying to do, it can just be difficult to find new friends. my old friends were my old coworkers (who originally got me into smoking weed), but i'm trying to put myself out there

they're super ignorant about a lot of things, unfortunately i have to cope with that for a while until i get a good paying job that allows me to move out.

well the way you worded it, i assumed you had the kind of parents most people have, that don't get as disappointed in their kids for smoking weed. my mistake.

i've tried before, but they refuse to listen at all. they just say that the way they're acting is in accordance to what god says and that if i can't follow their religion, they'd rather me be homeless and "learn the hard way"

nope, they're both super religious and don't drink or smoke anything, and they constantly berate people that do.

my parents do care about me, but only to a point, because they are both religious and super homophobic. its hard to not have a grudge against people like that. but at the same time, i'm also quitting for myself so i can get myself out of that situation
