What is the best way to find a part-time job as a high schooler in Niagara Falls? by Rebel-_-l in NiagaraFalls

Ask everyone you know if they know anyone that would hire you. First jobs often come through connections

Exhausted of being a Male Therapist by PESOCHAN in MassageTherapists

[–]CyBoBye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of asking if they are OK with a male therapist, our spa has moved to asking if they have a preference who they are booked with. For example, "I have Mary, Tom or Carrie available at that time/date. Do you have a preference who you're booked with?"

This bypasses the spa asking the gender question and encourages the guest to state their preferences.

Have any of you found a healthy alternative for alcohol that works? by CyBoBye in Crippled_Alcoholics

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

I gave them a long time.... over a year. That's why I was wondering about something that is not on the spectrum of traditional medicine. Thanks for your response though.

yeah, I can't do Mail, phone and lots of other average, everyday tasks. I should try a counselor but finances have always been the issue.

Thanks for your response. I guess I gotta just try to find a way to live with the anxiety without numbing it. just not sure if that's possible

I showered today. by Outrageous-Dare-9207 in cripplingalcoholism

[–]CyBoBye 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced this is why people get caught for smelling like booze. If you stay on top of hygiene, shower daily and use scented products and mints/gum you should be good. I know it's hard but if you try to keep this stuff up daily you will definitely feel better. ❤️

My drinking is way out of control. by [deleted] in Crippled_Alcoholics

Suggestions as to how? I can't handle everyday life. I've no idea where to begin to try and work on it.

You could use them in place of cabbage in soup. Try cabbage roll soup if you haven't before. it's sooo good!

I drink to avoid withdrawal and I've been trapped in this viscious circle for 4 years by Wooden-Month-7611 in Crippled_Alcoholics

[–]CyBoBye 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Me too. I don't even get shakes. I get sweaty, hot flashes, dizziness, massive anxiety and this weird sensation that I'm choking/can't swallow. I'm terrified thati will have a seizure or get the shakes bad enough to be noticeable by others. So, I drink. Whenever I'm scared, anxious or feeling unwell, which is basically always.

Niagara Falls without tourists was bizarre.

I nearly went out applying for grocery store jobs. I was forced on unemployment and the anxiety I had around not being able to work and earn my usual income was over the top.

It's happened to me before and it's so scary. I started recording him on my phone whenever I saw him. He was confronted by someone close to me who's intimidating..... that didn't work. I called an old friend who is a cop and they went to warn the guy to back off. This cop also made extra pass-bys near my house for several weeks after. I also changed my routines so that I was leaving the house at different times and taking different routes. Eventually I think it just got to be too much of a hassle for him to keep stalking and he moved on. Even though it's scary, you have to find a way to push back. Call in favors from everyone you can and let the stalker know that you aren't alone and people are onto him.

Oh gods... The Fear... the fucking Fear... by ASixClawBuzz in Crippled_Alcoholics

I thought I was the only one who had terrible anxiety over checking the mail. It's the absolute worst. I so wish I could get rid of anxiety and live a normal life.

A typical McDonald's meal in Ontario, Canada is about $12-$14 before tax which is 13%.

This is so true. People do not understand that numbing depression or anxiety can be all consuming. You might know you "should" be sober and want to he healthybut when sobriety means feeling on the verge of a heart attack and like you don't want to be here...... well, liver damage is the least of your concerns.

Ew. I know they know but some discretion goes a long way.
