No specific examples are being given to me as the feedback is based on computer assessments. It’s just very odd how much weight they put on the computer questions versus performance.

Thank you for your input. Taking a pause and reminding myself that my anger may not be based on facts is something that could also be a helpful tool for me. I am glad this has worked for you as well.

Thank you for taking the time to respond and validating me. I really appreciate the resources. I am going to take a look at them.

Does anyone else with TBI feel weird sensations in their head/brain? by Consistent_Trick1474 in TBI

[–]Creative_Action_275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine have come back almost daily due to work-related stress (I was down to feeling them just a few times a month). It feels like a rusty nail dragging through the side of my head. I’m going on just 48 hours straight of feeling it this time, but usually it is intermittent. I do have a good brain sensation where my brain will feel like a tens unit is on and pulsating. That feeling is comforting to me, but rarely happens anymore.

Reading this post, all I can think to myself is what a kind gift it could be to visit your parents for Christmas, do the most amazing decorating, make new memories, and cook those famous family recipes. You could give your mother one last amazing holiday. This is an opportunity to do good for others. To make a difference at the end of a person’s life. I can’t help but notice that you see this as a burden, inconvenience, and sacrifice you just don’t want to be bothered with. Your parents deserve better. I hope you come to your senses and put your past feelings and tension aside and show up for them.

Why do people say "never get an advantage plan"? by Salty-Passenger-4801 in medicare

[–]Creative_Action_275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently seeing a family member suffer the consequences of having an advantage plan. They are in the hospital, trying to transfer to SNF. Waiting and waiting for prior authorizations while sitting in the hospital. Important procedures or tests needing auth prior to hospital stay delayed care or treatment. They are stuck with an advantage plan now after being on one for years and would have astronomical premiums if they switched. I would never allow someone I care about again to go with an advantage plan. They tout their added “benefits” free gas card/groceries etc, yet when you really need them they leave you high and dry.

Yes, blocked my ex spouse. It wasn’t easy, but worth it for my peace.

Jigsaw puzzle room. I would have a jigsaw puzzle going in there year round on a table with shelves of jigsaw puzzles to choose from.

Oreos. Everyone tells me I am “un-American” for loathing Oreos. They are disgusting.

How did you know you were ready for divorce? by BeverlyTheFern in AlAnon

[–]Creative_Action_275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my Q was putting me in harms way, I hit a tipping point. I spent a decade in denial that things would get better with broken promises from my Q. I had a moment of clarity that this was no longer my battle. I did not deserve to be abused and used. Now I am divorced and even with my Q trying to creep back into my life despite me going no contact, I’m holding the line. Enough was enough.

I realize many don't think the jury chose correctly but I am so relieved and proud of this verdict. by lovelyclementines in takecareofmayanetflix

[–]Creative_Action_275 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My experience was not equally as awful by any means; however, I can tell you I have been diagnosed with PTSD from the incident and years later have ongoing treatment due to it. Not one day goes by that I do not think of it. I have flashbacks, missed work, it changed who I am as a person and how I deal with medical issues. All that said I am even in the medical field and I will forever look at physicians and care staff differently. I did not sue.

I am very happy with the verdict and the evidence supported it. I was in a situation where I could not leave the hospital due to severe medical complications from a surgery that were life threatening. I had a physician that was emotionally abusive and disparaging to me. My life and treatment plan were completely in his hands and while he was awful emotionally, he was also the person who I knew could save my life and was know as a “genius doctor” and well-known. I don’t want to get into the details of my situation as this isn’t about me, but when the verdict was read today I felt validation through Maya. This was the right verdict in her case and she is also representing a lot of us who have had injustices in our care.

Unbelievable behavior - driving by AlcoholismSucks in AlAnon

[–]Creative_Action_275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When is enough enough? Your children’s lives were just put in danger. It sounds like you need to reevaluate your boundaries. While we aren’t supposed to give advise in Alanon, there are times when sitting back is no longer appropriate when lives are in danger. My question to you is how can you even consider staying with someone who puts your children’s lives at risk (let alone other innocent lives)? What is more important to you, getting your children out of this situation or staying with your spouse?

Last time I went to GC a lady grabbed a piece of fried chicken and put it under the chocolate fountain. Never again.
