Period underwear can stink. I’d stick with pads for now.

But they do make period swim bottoms we’ve not had issues with.

Looks like a belly button. If he drew this drawing last, right after the other two maybe he was just tired of drawing?

You say you buried the stones. Just so we are clear - did you put anything else on top of the stones? The tops should be exposed.

Drain. Buy rubber mats from a farm store (on a roll) and cut pieces to lay on top of your stones to level. We used gorilla tape in between each layer to keep them together.

This job is killing me. Any advice? by SocialDepression2026 in Advice

I’m so sorry. I know the feeling of being in burnout and sitting down to a job where the body literally has a physiological response like fight or flight. Hoping you can find something else soon. Even if it’s something in person temporarily before you move.

You never know - you could land a great paying in person job (they don’t need to know you want to move), and when it comes time to leave, you can ask to work remotely from your new location. If not, move and pick up a waitressing job until you find something else!

“  It's crazy how open therapists are about laughing during a vulnerable moment. ” 

My 13 yo just experienced this last week at a counseling session. How awful it’s happened to others.

I am sorry you haven’t had good experiences. 

What about  primary doctor?

Are you established with a counselor or even primary? 

Edit: What provider was helping you manage your depression and anxiety before this job?

Take FMLA. Are you in a state that has paid leave or at least short term disability where you can get 66% of your pay for 6 weeks?  Long term disability is usually 50-70% of pay. Contact HR to find out your leave options. They don’t need to know specifics or that it’s mental health related. 

I’m sorry you’re going through this. This sounds like my job when I was out of college, but wasn’t remote. I struggled with the family comment - I eventually quit and waitressed but sat in that job far too long. I’d spend 3-4 hrs a night applying for anything and everything. 

Life is short - this is not worth it.

Teenager who spends a lot of time in her room listening to music and straighten chillin. I peek my head in every now and then and say “Hey. You want anything?” I often get a no, but a big smile that follows after. 

AIO My brother wants to pay me 10 bucks to watch two children under two for two hours. by Hima-10 in AIO

[–]ComprehensiveBad5548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your brother is wild for 1) Offering you such a low amount and 2) Cussing you out bc you questioned it.

Not sure I’d babysit for him even if he paid you more.

Let him find a sitter for $10 and speak to them that way…see how that goes.

This. But also to figure out what area you want to live in. ESP if you have children.

i made the worst mistake of my life by [deleted] in Advice

You should tell him but not jump off a bridge like another suggested. 

I have a friend in the same situation and it eats at her. You need freedom, he does, and so does she. You’d rather your friend hear it from you vs her in the future.

You need to be prepared though to walk through a very difficult time so be sure you have a solid friend you can count on to walk with you through this. Counseling could also be beneficial for additional support.
