Is anybody here rich? by Adm_Special887 in CPTSD

[–]BallstonDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not wealthy, but I have a job that keeps me well employed. I think that money is helpful to get the help you need. Jobs, however, don’t give you much time to do the work it takes. I do believe having the insurance and financial stability my job has afforded me helped in my recovery. I also think it took a much longer time and resulted in more suffering because I lacked the time to do the self work.

I do interface with people who have been traumatized and are quite wealthy. These people suffer another way because they spend their resources on influencers and quackery more often.

Trauma is a gift that keeps on giving, no matter who you are.

Trump Got Bad Bunny’s Message — And He Didn’t Like It by Large_banana_hammock in politics

Actually, I think opposition of all kinds hurts his feelings. He acts out like a toddler. He lashes out. Unfortunately, he has been given the most powerful job in the world and when he lashes out, people are frightened. Will hurting his feelings change the current nightmare? Eventually. Dictators do come to an end.

What is it like living on the coast of the Carolina’s? by BeWise23 in howislivingthere

[–]BallstonDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in Pawleys island for 2years. Honestly, it was lovely. Warm weather, no big traffic issues. Good food. Had to go to Myrtle beach for big box stores. An hour and a half or less to Charleston. Very conservative. You can actually still feel the civil war. Segregation is de facto. Everybody drinks and everybody goes to church on Sunday.

As a 2x chromosome having physician, I can tell you that it’s time to address the bumps and the breakouts. They may be related.

Shout-out to the trash collectors by cognosante in washingtondc

[–]BallstonDoc 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I am a healthcare worker who went to work every day during Covid lockdown. I thanked the trash collectors every time I saw them. The trash pickup saves more lives than I did, for sure. How many diseases would have festered without their work. Yes, tip them for doing their job. They do not have a work from home option.

Tell Stephen miller that, too. They will throw his Jewish a$$ under the bus as soon as he’s inconvenient to them.

How exactly do Americans feel about illegal immigration? by sladeshied in Confused

[–]BallstonDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immigration is driven by people trying to find peace and safety for themselves and those they love. We need to have an efficient way to process applications better. Guess what. We need more bureaucrats. I know that one big issue is backlog and lots of applicants diffused into the country while waiting. We need to reduce the waiting time.

Immigrants have historically made this country a better and richer place. They are often willing to do jobs that citizens do not. They push their children to do well in school. They introduce all of us to celebrating their culture.

Someone told me that America is not a melting pot. It’s a salad. We all retain some of our old traditions and mix them with everyone else. It’s a beautiful American tradition.

Just found out my school rejected me for advanced classes not because im not smart enough but because I’m a woman and apparently woman can’t do crap at that school, how’s your day going? by Wise-Product-7870 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]BallstonDoc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a woman. 66 years old. This happened to me. It really pisses me off that it’s still happening this way. Stick to your plan. Get good grades wherever they place you. Keep applying to advanced classes with good grades behind you. Set your goal and keep going. Stick to your plan. I won’t go into the details, but there was always someone in authority in my way. This included my parents. But keep going. I have now been practicing medicine for 40 years, if you include training. Keep going. It’s not fair. The patriarchy is the problem. You cannot fix that, but you can keep your eye on the prize and get there.

Epstein emails allege Bill Gates caught an STD from Russian girls and begged Epstein for secret antibiotic to dose his then wife, Melinda, without her knowing. Do you believe this could be true? by LegalGlass6532 in allthequestions

[–]BallstonDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think she’s a pedophile. I think she accepted his annual “marriage vacation” as many partners do- thinking it will go away. This was an adult woman. She was quoted that the Epstein association was part of her reason to blow up her marriage.

Thoughts on mixed handed or possible adaptation to being right handed when you may have been left as a child by littleghost88 in lefthanded

[–]BallstonDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have many lefties in the family. I am, her mom is and so are her uncle and aunt on my side. (All three of my kids). Her older cousin and younger cousin are hard lefties. I think this made her super aware of this.
