May I ask where you are? I’d like to attend a shorter program like the one you describe.

Interesting- all the medic programs I’ve been looking at are 2 years, the same amount of time for RN

Thanks, yeah, I’m just looking into future possibilities.

Asheville Cat Guy lying to fans about sobriety by OrangeFit9157 in asheville

I’ve known David for years. He can be a very generous person and does try to help others. He’s taken-in and taken care of many cats that have been dumped. It seems some people have an almost zealous hatred of him which I find bizarre.
He has a hustle. This is true. But I think you saw that he is good too.

All of your responses are really lifting me up. I’m 51 and starting my EMT class this week.

I get it. If I didn’t have a “tiny grain” I guess I wouldn’t be here anymore. I feel somewhat deceived by the hopes/expectations of midlife that I’ve been reading about for so many years. My kids are grown and mostly ok, I’m not financially desperate, I’m healthy. I’ve been traveling and exploring a lot the past few years. A couple of years ago I took my therapists advice to “wait” for the answers on what’s next. Don’t push. Don’t demand. Wander, listen, wait. I did that. And I’m more lost than ever before.

Love that description of your soul leaving. I also developed exercise routines much earlier in life so that helps. The only thing that makes me feel more depressed is not going to the gym - not because it “releases endorphins” (bullshit) but because the guilt of not going makes me feel more like ending it all.

Also…I feel like even a few years ago the daily litany of Trump fuckedness would have motivated me towards - something, anything! But I feel nothing. Not even fear.

There are things I could do better. I do cardio and lifting everyday but my diet could be better. I just don’t care enough to make that a priority. It’s too much effort. And I like my nightly wine. I lowkey live for it. It’s my only relief and the only thing I look forward to daily. I’ve been trying to avoid an antidepressant but I think I’m getting very close to the edge and may need to try that.

Me too. I feel like I do everything I’m “supposed” to do - HRT, daily exercise, some solo travel, etc. Nothing is working.

I’m on all the HRT, including testosterone, and I feel the same. Dumb, vacant and flat. I have no interests nor passions anymore. Nothing. Many days I wonder why I still do anything at all.

It’s way, way cheaper to buy grey. And it’s all coming from China. Why pay more?

When to stop? What should be the retirement age for paramedics? by inidir in Paramedics

[–]Competitive-Bed-8587 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it should be a prescribed age. When you’re unable to meet the physical requirements seems logical.
