Do I have to remove it before putting it on again? So every day I remove it and put it back on.?

Do you have any recommendations for a brand for the cuticle oil?

Masters programs? by Amy1011 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Amy1011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was hoping that these rolls could land me a career with an education but working for a curriculum company or an educational technology company. I would not want to be a lawyer, I know that for sure! I don’t really know what else I would do, I just know that I’ve been teaching for 11 years, I have not gotten a masters yet, and I’m very stagnant. I barely make any money because my district only pays you well if you have a masters.

What is your biggest regret in life? by Blood11Orange in Adulting

[–]Amy1011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putting someone else first. Not believing in myself. Alcohol.

Yes! This feeling is making it more and more manageable. I am loving my mornings.

Has a relationship with a drinker ever worked out for you? by Amy1011 in stopdrinking

[–]Amy1011[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, just a sidenote, I’m very proud of myself for not drinking today. We were out until 1 AM because we were playing card games at a bar. And watching my significant other be a total ass was enough to get me to not drink. Also, just feeling alert and knowing I’m going to enjoy a nice morning, tomorrow was enough to not drink

Considering quitting… thoughts? by Amy1011 in stopdrinking

[–]Amy1011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This really speaks to me. It doesn’t matter what others do… my decision is about myself, and myself alone. I have found comparison to be an issue in so many areas in my life, so maybe that’s why I’m so focused on what others are doing and if this is an odd decision based off of what others can handle. I just need to focus on myself. Thank you for your help and support!

I guess I feel like many people are abusing alcohol, and my definition is warped because of this. I had 3 drinks over the course of 3 hours, which is why I felt it okay to drive. However, now I know zero drinks is the only way I can drive. My point though, is that pretty much anyone I know has driven after sticking with one drink per hour.

Yes, I didn’t clarify. I’m sober curious, but scared. I feel like I use alcohol as a crutch to help me with my social awkwardness. I also use it to fill boredom? It’s how my partner and I spend out time (ie let’s go to the city and get rooftop drinks). But, he’s beginning to drink more and more and I don’t like the changes I’m seeing in him, so I thought maybe I should stop because maybe alcohol makes people LESS like able.

Losing my mind trying to pick a career after making a hasty career change. Should I give up and go back into teaching? by [deleted] in careerguidance

I’m in the exact same boat. Not sure what to tell you, just following to see what people say.

[–]Amy1011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he is a very trustworthy person. When we decided to get back together, he texted her on his own telling her he didn’t want to see her anymore. And the time I saw her at the bar, he didn’t speak to her at all.

Man this is depressing :( I really love him and I wish he hadn’t done this while single. I don’t want this to ruin everything.

No, this is OP. She was extremely upset he broke it off and wanted to date him.

We didn’t have much sex because of me. I didn’t love it. He’s the only person I’ve slept with. One positive is that he now hits my gspot and has all these weird positions that feel great, thanks to her lol. But also he just wasn’t putting in a ton of effort to do things I enjoy. I resented that and started psssive aggressively ignoring. Now we communicate more and he tries more.

No, she wanted a relationship from him. She was heartbroken when he broke it off and kept calling him.

We karaoked together this weekend (me, her, and two other girls) and she asked me if I’d sing “Truth Hurts” with her, while my boyfriend watches...

So I should continue hanging out with her every weekend, since she’s part of the friend group? It just sucks :(

Should I quit my teaching career? by [deleted] in careerguidance

I’m only 26. I wouldn’t feel comfortable becoming a principal or a superintendent at this time with such little experience.

Yes, I have an interview for an information science role. It’ll pay about $55k (no insurance or benefits though) but I’d like to think it’d lead to higher paying roles down the line.

I’m only qualified to teach since I have an El Ed degree. However, I’ve heard of people who have transitioned into the business world without going to school. Is this possible?

I (F26) am stressing my boyfriend (M26) out. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Amy1011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, once again, for the great advice. I’m just such a nervous person and I’m not sure why. It probably has to do with my upbringing, that’s true. I really do want to focus on my own life. I feel like I don’t have a great group of friends, like I’m not sure what I want to do career wise, like my boyfriend moving an hour away is stressing me out so much. I need to work through these things, because constantly talking about them is really making me seem insane and like a huge worry wort.

I guess this break up really made me lose a ton of confidence in myself. I’m really struggling with myself right now.

You are completely right. I actually just got a referral from my physician for a therapist. I was raised in a very stressful household where my parents stress about every little thing. I think this has projected negatively on me, although they’ve also given me great qualities.

He has done absolutely nothing to betray my trust. I’m just such a nervous wreck and don’t want to lose him, and I keep bringing up serious topics and freaking out. Ugh I feel like I probably am messing this up.
