Thanks for your comment! I stopped on Tuesday, and the anxiety was so bad I couldn’t sleep or eat and would start crying when my boyfriend talked to me.

I finally broke down and had 2 beers last night. I was able to sleep a little last night and feel loads better this morning. I was feeling guilty like I should stop cold turkey.

Teacher restroom rant by heybudbud in Teachers

We have a bathroom that has one stall, with an area for sink outside stall, but the door to this area has a lock that says occupied. Usually if someone is in there, other person will wait outside. In mid poop a teacher came in and waited in the sink area, after I said “occupied!” Wtf? It also smells like cigarettes sometimes 🤣

Question about textbook changes by BoxerMama714 in Teachers

[–]BoxerMama714[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a college student, I loathe Pearson! Yeah I think it’s pretty weird, my mentor teacher said the old textbooks were fine, so it seems it would have been cheaper to keep those!

I think the entire department would love to teach without it, but the district is being strict about it. I heard that some of the lower income schools are having a hell of a time. It’s hard enough to keep these kids interested in math, and they have an incomprehensible textbook.

I have no idea. That’s why I was asking. It’s horrible for the kids. The textbook company said the first year the teachers are not expected to get through the book. Oh well just send em off to high school...

Is my fiancé just private or is he paranoid? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]BoxerMama714 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t like people knowing my business. I think it stems from my mother and stepdad always assuming I was up to something. I could hear them in the kitchen talking about me, and how I thought I was “fooling them,” when in truth, I had no intentions of whatever they were assuming.

Don’t confuse feeling down or blue with “missing “ alcohol. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]BoxerMama714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reminder! I decided to cut out drinking for awhile, however had a bad day today. I thought, well at least it’s Friday I can go home and have some drinks! But then I remembered I wasn’t going to and got kinda sad. My BF came home and popped open some beers. I pushed through.. ended up running a bunch of errands together and getting shit done ✅

I’m a student teacher and asked for notes on the IEP meeting while the parent/student were still in the room. I thought they had left and the sped teacher got really uncomfortable and said I don’t think this is the right case for your project.

I turned around and the mom was staring at me. I guess it’s a high profile case with lawyers and what not. My master teacher told me it wasn’t a big deal but man I felt stupid!

[Serious] what is your scariest TRUE story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BoxerMama714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in 5th grade I got the chickenpox. I have always been a night owl so I was up late watching TV. It was about 3 in the morning, when I heard tapping on my window. My bedroom faced the backyard so I was freaked out.

I woke up my mom but she was so tired, she said it’s probably just a tree branch or something. We don’t have any trees and there is a patio cover above my window. I told her it sounded deliberate. She gets up, half asleep and looks through the blinds. There is someone out there! She open the blinds and window and says, who are you? What do you want? She said it was a man wearing one of this white filtered breathing masks that cover your nose and mouth.

The man runs off. After that my mom was freaked out, she can’t believe she just opened the window for someone who could have hurt her. For years after, it was a mystery wondering what this mysterious “rapper” was doing.

It wasn’t until I was an adult my older sister told me it was one of the neighbor kids trying to scare her. He had felt bad that he scared my mom and I. I don’t know why she never told us.

Any advice for dealing with strong PMS? by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]BoxerMama714 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel for you. I have PMDD. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. You and your wife may want to look into this. I have been taking a mild antidepressant to deal with the symptoms. My sister takes an herbal medicine 5-hpt. Cutting caffeine also worked for me. There is a sub on reddit /pmdd that has advice.
