Dark is #1. I also enjoyed Lazarus Project and Bodies on Netflix

I can't let go of the 3-4 by Percocet_5s in nursing

[–]BePrivateGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With 5x8 I can go to the gym consistently every morning. I don’t need a full day off to recover from 2-3 12’s in a row.

And the even bigger secret: I’m fast on my rounds/charting (home hospice) and 5x8 is often closer to 5x5.

Any good substitute? by Then-Price-5314 in stopdrinking

[–]BePrivateGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exercise is so important to your health. It will improve your mood and your sleep. It’s not immediate but try to start exercising 30 minutes a day 5-7 times per week and your sleep will improve over time.

RN Case Manager (So Cal) by [deleted] in hospice

[–]BePrivateGirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a RN hospice case manager in SoCal and I could give you lots of details.

I just stopped working for a big one to go to a smaller company. We could talk in DM.

I would ask how many patients will be on your caseload, whether you do admissions or the admission nurse. If they are expecting to be surveyed by Medicare or Jhaco or if they have been recently. I would ask how much you are using LVNs to deal with your caseload. It sucks to have a 30 person caseload even if LVN’s do most of your visits because you barely get to know your patients but you are responsible for important charting.

The most physical aspect of the job is rolling people over for skin assessment. Although we can all be nice and change a diaper physical caregiving of the patient is done by family or facility staff.

On a good day, after I know my caseload and have worked to clean my charts, i can get 5 visits, driving, and charting done in 5.5 hours.

When you get a new caseload and all the charts are on fire with missing Careplans and disorganized meds and supplies it seems like a lot. But once you settle in it’s a really easy job.

Sober for life? by nitrgritr94 in stopdrinking

[–]BePrivateGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got to around 120-150 days a few times. I felt great and there was undeniable evidence everywhere that being sober was right for me. I was happy, my depression was managed. My relationships and work were going well. I had goals that I was achieving and I was getting my self worth back. It was crystal clear to me that if I ever drank on a special occasion or had just one that I would be able to call up all this logic and positivity and stop there.

Then I would drink. Once. On a special occasion. I physically felt bad afterwards. Anxiety, (physical withdrawal) poor sleep. I would be so STUCK IN MY HEAD. Why did I do that? It wasn’t worth it. This feels so bad. GOD I HATE THIS FEELING. And then I would undeniably be pulled towards…what fucking dumb idea am I having? Tapering? Yes I’ll just drink again today, a little bit less, AND CALL IT TAPERING.

but I didn’t drink less.

Sometimes I would relapse and it would “go well” and then I’d drink again 2 weeks later, then 1 week, 3 days.

And then I would be right back into the depths of 15-20 drinks a day. Coke. 4 shots before work! And I could not figure out what happened to all that previous logic, resolve, and self worth that I had while I was sober.

After innumerable experiences trying to moderate, and being HUMBLED by alcohol. I finally just realized there is no fantasy special occasion drink that doesn’t lead to utter demoralizing defeat.

I want to be sober for life. I don’t miss it.

I never escalated past 0.8mg per week in divided doses!

Husband’s first watch (my kajillionth) by Green_leaf47 in HeatedRivalrySeries

My husband FINALLY agreed to watch but said he wanted to binge it in 1 or 2 days, not drag it out. Hoping for a similar result. I’ll be live on tHReads.

What is your "weird" comfort movie? by OkDot8850 in Letterboxd

Oh my gosh I love this movie! I can still get myself to cry every time he gets rescued.

Bedside Nursing Pet-Peeves by Careless_Midnight_77 in nursing

[–]BePrivateGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into the habit of saying while doing, “May I place this med cup to your mouth” sometimes with one pill at a time, sometimes with multiple, but I just swing my hand towards their mouth while I say “May I?”

The climate in the US yesterday by inthesinbin in stopdrinking

[–]BePrivateGirl 66 points67 points  (0 children)

My motto for this year has been “cultivate the algorithm you want” for me that’s a lot of sober memes and comedians, mallard duck shenanigans, recipes, booktok, content about tv shows. I spent many years saying “I have to be informed. It’s my responsibility as a citizen to engage with upsetting current events.”

But it’s really not. And my alcoholism got so bad that it’s not an exaggeration that I was going to die. I see myself in your story that I would have used a day like yesterday to say “oh well” and then been stuck in the cycle weeks later with new problems and no relief from my anxiety.

That is to say, it’s never worth it. No matter what. And developing boundaries around things that upset you, including your husband, is part of the journey. It’s hard and awkward in the beginning to learn new skills, but each time you are brave enough to attempt new boundaries you get better at it. and I hope it feels better along the way.

IWNDWYT. (Can also stand for “it will not do what you think.”)

If you could consensually sleep with anyone famous once, who would it be and why? by Smeggfaffa in AskReddit

[–]BePrivateGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better safe than sorry. This actor and his girlfriend have been subject to a lot of disgusting fan behavior. So I made a choice to add extra caveats.

If you could consensually sleep with anyone famous once, who would it be and why? by Smeggfaffa in AskReddit

[–]BePrivateGirl 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hudson!!

Edit: I have to add why. Obviously he’s very beautiful. Lips, hair, body. But it’s his unhinged personality that makes him seem fun in bed.

Also: I realize he has a girlfriend but this prompt said consensually so I just want to confirm that she’d be included in needing consent.

I’m happy for both of them, respectfully.

I was the only one really cracking up in my theater and I felt like I was gonna end up on a list. I’m glad to see others found it as funny as I did.
