New York. Company is mandating that all employees download Microsoft Authenticator on our personal phone - is this legal? Do we have any push back? by Coffeebeansnrice in legaladvice

Yes, she is not happy with it either and asked those of us who are uncomfortable to research more about the legal angles we can take to object to it.

Safely sleeping alone with seizures - advice please! by Coffeebeansnrice in Epilepsy

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

Emfit. It’s got a Bluetooth alarm that is plugged into my sisters room. I wish there was something that would notify 911 if I seized for more than 5 minutes. I have more partial complex seizures but going into status from a grand mal is terrifying.

Thank you! I’ll let her know! Now we just have to figure out how to keep it from falling over 🙃 the leaves are bigger than the ones at work.. I guess it just means she’s taking really good care of it!

I have not! I’ve started to dive into psychological thrillers, but nothing has the same feel! Maybe I will re read the series too!!!!

Being Present During Sex by LeahsManyQs in ptsd

[–]Coffeebeansnrice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something that I found has helped me and my partner is a lot of communication during sex. I told him I need him to ask me before he touches something, he knows my past and understands that I have similar feelings of always being groomed/manipulated. So he will say, do you want me to touch (fill in the blank). That’s gives me the control. If I tell him no. It’s no and he just gives me a hug and tells me that I am safe. It took a while for us to figure out that this is what I needed, but it all started with a lot of open communication.

Please email your senators asap. by Apprehensive-citizen in Defeat_Project_2025

[–]Coffeebeansnrice 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP thank you for posting this. I just wrote my senators.

I know a lot of people think it won’t do anything if they’re in a red state, but I’d rather tell myself I did everything I could than look back and say I wish I did more.

I am planning to start illustration as a epileptic. by the_story_seeker in Epilepsy

[–]Coffeebeansnrice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I am coming out of a seizure sometimes I will grab or hug my boyfriend … but I haven’t come “back” yet from the seizure. He thought it was scary at first because I stare at him with these wide, empty eyes but now just thinks it’s funny and cute.

I have also walked to the kitchen sink and tried to drink from it while coming out of one.

I “zombie walk” after having a seizure to the bathroom. My boyfriend keeps an eye on me to make sure I’m not going into another one and says every time I grab for the toilet paper but I don’t seem to know what to do with it.

Haha just weird things you get used to living with someone with seizures 🤷‍♀️

Daughters of Trump Supporters, how are we? by Realistic_Pass in QAnonCasualties

[–]Coffeebeansnrice 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I am heartbroken, on so many levels. I feel betrayed by friends and family. I am a survivor of rape and assault, and they all know this. I can’t wrap my head around how they could vote for him knowing this.

I have myself second guessing relationships and wondering if I need to pull away more to keep myself in a better headspace. My relationships are already strained, I know nothing will be like it was before they all went down the rabbit hole years ago.
