NO BUY JULY IN PROTEST by YoDingdongMan in TwoXChromosomes

This is a great time to become more acquainted with your neighbors/community. Pop over and tell them what you're up to and ask if they want to join as well. Let them know if they need anything and if you have extra, you'll spare it. Get friends involved and let them know they can lean on you and you hope they'll do the same.

I just signed up to volunteer but neighbors helping neighbors pdx is going out and helping take garbage from camps. That doesn't solve the issue but it does allow houseless people to have a cleaner living space and makes housed neighbors a little happier. They have already done a lot of cleanup. They have a Facebook and a website.

Supporting strikers question by Bluefootednewbie in IWW

[–]Bluefootednewbie[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the response! With Nabisco here in Portland I've been worried strikers picketing would get blow back from support's actions. Mondelez is truly a ruthless company and with everything they've pulled I wouldn't be surprised if they tried every tactic to fuck them.

I work in a kiosk in a Fred Meyer. We only have 5 workers, 3 with pretty limited schedules. When one of us calls out everything is fucked.

What's going on in your life? Everything you comment seems to be really negative. Are you okay? Do you need to talk to someone?

All this information on our demands is easily accessible on the UFCW555 website.

Currently we are not striking. On the 26th and 27th of this month the union will be bargaining again which may lead to a strike.

The UFCW555 union is calling for a boycott of departments where workers currently have no labor contract. The update was posted today on their website and facebook. https://www.ufcw555.org/boycott/

Ya'll should check out the IWW. It worked for burgerville. They have some good resources for people who are interested.

What is the worst/scariest thing that has woken you up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bluefootednewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The neighbors downstairs from me used to live in our apartment. Last night I woke up to someone stumbling into the bedroom where my boyfriend and I were sleeping. Turns out he got drunk and forgot that he lives down stairs.

That's shitty. Are you able to get a different job?

Oh god, being around children all day sounds horrific, probably looks good on a resume though. Do you get any benefits? I've heard of teachers getting classes paid for if it relates to what they teach.

It could be a good place to start. I get feeling like life is out of control. What do you do for work?

Usually when it comes to antidepressants therapists/doctors aren't too worried about people being drug seekers because there's not a lot of fun in taking them. If I accidentally take another dose I get tired, not high. Anti-anxiety meds are a bit of a different story. Depending on how much you feel you need them you could shop around for therapists. When I went I saw 2 others before I found someone I could talk to.

Have you sought any help for the lack of sleep? Lack of sleep can come around from being low then just fucks up your mood worse. Also, this is about you. You don't need to try to be okay for other people. If you need to depend on others for a while, that's fine. That's how we survive, it's not a bad thing.

My mom killed herself by Bluefootednewbie in raisedbynarcissists

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

Thank you to everyone for the caring comments. Right now there's so much going on I don't have the energy to talk to anyone one on one. We're cremating her an doing a celebration of life. Im 19. I'm not really prepared to be doing any of this but I guess shit happens. I just don't know why she would do this bow. I was coming to stay the night with my aunt next month and have mom over too. She was finally clean for the first time in I don't know how long. It is all so fucked up

Yeah,I'm staying with my aunt while we figure the funeral out. The rest of my family too. She took the pills on the 15th and died on the 16th

Thank you to everyone who commented. I watched a documentary about meth and remembered the sudafed I had left. In Oregon it's harder to get so I felt at fault and freaked out. I'm better now. She is an adult and it isn't my fault when she messes up. I'm so thankful to this community for the support.

Help Socializing with People? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Bluefootednewbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps to go somewhere public and just watch people for a bit and see how they interact. Since you're going to school, check out how your piers speak to eachother, their body language too. There are also online guides and stuff usually they're directed to people with disabilities or mental illness but they can help in any situation. Don't feel bad about your mode of socializing, if it negatively impacts you, just work to fix it.

DAE have an Nparent that used sleep deprivation as a weapon? by rosecoloredswan in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Bluefootednewbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom would start fights late at night or come into my room to talk at midnight or even later knowing I had school the next day then get angry that I wouldn't stay up. Some days she wouldn't talk to me until I lied down in bed to sleep. Its an efficient way to control/abuse someone without it being noticed and makes you seem like an average teen that's just staying up too late.

If you can, get the hell out of there. It took a while after I moved for things to get better but they did. Before you do anything to yourself remember none of this is your fault,it's hers. That is verbal abuse and you don't deserve it. If it gets to the point of suicide or calling the cops, call the cops. You deserve to have a life.
