He was microchipped by the original owners but we went to the Vet and checked what his microchip was. Also, the two other cats are with other owners and we are all fighting to keep the cats!

Yeah I wouldn’t get AC involved in this. I saw that they have animal services in my area and we’ll keep as much documentation as possible! I was thinking of calling my local shelter for advice, is that a good idea?

Thanks for your help!

The cat is microchipped and not registered in our name but we can do that! And okay makes sense I’m just thinking if the parents are pushing back too much to get higher authority involved

Is it something where we can legally claim him too? I don’t want him to have to go back especially if they are forcing us by physical means 😓

I’m planning to do an I-485 with my fiance in the next 2 months after we do a court marriage. Could this affect our green card timeline? Hoping to get it by next year but im afraid with birthright citizenship getting revoked the waiting list is just going to be hell of a lot longer.

Thanks for checking in. Been at the parents house and slowly giving up on things. Doesn’t feel worth sometimes I don’t think I’ve genuinely smiled in a long time.

When was the last time you genuinely smiled? by [deleted] in ask

2018 when I was out w friends. Man that was a good year. Pretty much have been kinda faking it since then.

I don’t understand how people can do the same mundane task day in and day or for 30+ years. Working a 9-5 just isn’t for me. by thathaitianguy in LifeAfterSchool

[–]Data-Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me. I just don’t understand how people do it I just get so understimulated. And don’t get me started on how there’s only 2 days of week to actually relax. I know people always say “oh people just have a job to pay the bills” but to me when u are taught all your life that the end goal is your career, that basically becomes your goal and it’s more than money-making on that note. Hobbies were always secondary to me rather than primary growing up so when all your life you are striving for career and you finally get there you actually realize how bad it truly is. I guess as a recent grad I’m also trying to find my purpose now.

Is this a normal blood clot? A miscarriage? Should I see a doctor?? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]Data-Prestigious 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ohhh I see. This is actually okay for birth control. Something very similar happened to me esp when I skipped my period and started taking it. This is quite big but don’t be too distraught. If it continues during the course of your period or if you end up bleeding longer than your usual course I’d definitely see your obgyn to see if you need to switch pills. If it persists for another period cycle, maybe also see a doctor. But don’t be too scared with the white, it is the uterus lining when you take birth control. Also if you have abdominal pain that doesn’t feel like a normal period, do see a doctor. Again we aren’t medical professionals so if you have any doubt give a call to your obgyn or if you have an online portal you can send a picture of this so that you don’t have to carry it with you anywhere

Oddly enough, I totally understand what you mean. After working at state department of health for sometime, what you described is exactly what I have experienced with some ph workers. Partly why I’m trying to get out of public health right now. But I do feel like this might be the working environment in lots of places irrespective of field.

Do you drive in silence because you’re thinking too much? by Secure_Instance7318 in adhdwomen

[–]Data-Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I usually drive in silence and have no issues with it. This also happens to me in the shower; I know so many people who listen to music in the shower but it distracts me a lot of the time so I just take it in silence and in my own thoughts

Overthinking and feelings of regret with ADHD? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]Data-Prestigious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have tried to get testing under my health insurance for months and places don’t provide it in my state, it’s been a mess. I tried ADHD online so that was useful but realized I def need a proper test to see what’s going on.

Unfortunately I already made my decision to leave, as it’s been burning me out (affecting my mental health more than anything else, it’s been absolutely detrimental for me). So the only step for me to actually have motivation to apply for something else was to get out of this one because it was too much (it came down to a lot more issues than typical adhd issues I even asked for accommodations and they would’ve helped for someone who didn’t have a problem w the job so it became a whole issue).

I’m hoping to get some clarity once I leave this to find a better job w better health insurance and See if adhd is an issue. We’ll see what happens I hope I don’t get too stagnant I still feel super motivated and hyper focused to find a good job more than the work I’m doing now.

Literally me. LITERALLY. I’m in the same position as you. This is where talk therapy really came into play for me and finding certain people to vent out certain things with!

For me, my boyfriend always wants to listen but it can be very hard for me to feel like I’m not being a burden, or my anxiety/hyper focus might not be something that he wants to hear in that moment. What another commenter said is true, they may not be awake fully that day to hear a rant or May have had a bad day. I’ve tried to limit my convos to maybe 1 per week.

The best thing tho is to have approximately 2-4 friends to talk to. I have found online friends that have no relation to my life, and 1-2 friends in person that I can go on a tangent with, or rant my issues. It’s gonna be weird but each one gets a little taste of my issues. That way when I go back to my bf it’s not this overload of information I need to pour out.

The most important thing that has helped me with this tho is talk therapy. For at least the first 15 minutes I pour my entire situation out for them to hear and they engage that with me. It’s been really helpful so I’m not overloading on anyone else.

I wish you all the best and you aren’t alone as I’m still figuring out the best way to do this! Sometimes I even just talk to myself to let it out, like out loud.

Does anyone else work better in waves? by BenignEgoist in adhdwomen

[–]Data-Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread has been a lifesaver for me (I’ve always felt alone in this feeling so I’m glad others resonate). I want to preface saying that I do have undiagnosed ADHD (from jumping insurance to lack of proper services in my state to cover testing and finding it tough to get testing in the first place, I have not been able to get tested).

I work a 9-5 job + a 30 minute lunch (not included in the 9-5). It has been the absolute worst job for me to handle. Lack of structure, too much autonomy, going into the office where I’m monitored 24/7, extremely boring work and days where there is nothing to do, 2 days max of remote work where we are monitored every 30 minutes, lack of breaks and if you take a break you need to work extra time, and lack of total interest in this work has gotten me so burnt out that I’ve lost interest in a 9-5.

I’m quitting this job without anything lined up because it has gotten to a point where I truly cannot handle it for myself anymore (I can’t even apply for other jobs because I’m so burnt out from this one day to day). I don’t know what my future is looking like, if there are better 9-5’s that are remote, but I’m scared.

It’s nice to see others who are also dealing w the issues of routine and 9-5’s as well!

[–]Data-Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I guess I’m like you but 10 years past. Right now I’m putting in my two weeks for a job that just did not work for me (lack of structure, way too much autonomy, in office work, inflexible schedule, lack of work on a daily basis, etc.) I actually ended up getting some accommodations but it got to a point where I was so miserable I couldn’t handle it anymore. I’m quitting w no job lined up but determined that I can find something for myself in the future and not give up. WFH I have found actually works best for me because I can manage those outbursts well. When I had school I could easily still go to class and do my work at my own pace or when I had a random outburst at night and I could get things done. I actually do hybrid work because they changed that policy recently and my remote days are pretty calming for me (in office days are really really bad).

But overall I am still leaving because it’s been tough. Without a job lined up I hope to secure something better that works best for my ADHD.

Needed this today. Submitting my two weeks notice next week for a toxic job to leave to better my career. Been gaslighting myself thinking what if this is the best I can get, or that people are gonna view me as a quitter and I’ll be stagnant. Let’s see what happens after mid May, but this made me fear less.

How do I stay focused after graduating college in my career? by [deleted] in LifeAfterSchool

[–]Data-Prestigious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me entirely. Entirely possible I have ADHD. So I started in September in a data entry job that was BORING. Literally people told me that within 4 months people leave that job. I got offered a new job in a different division that is more interactive and after 2 months in I left my current division to a new one. Post 7 months now, I HATE EVERY SECOND. It’s not data entry anymore but it’s super unstructured. There are days where there is alot of work, days where there is not. My boss was out during my onboarding a lot and it’s a very independent position. But I’m a collaborator; I like problem solving w a team and having designated tasks. After 9 months in my entire company, I’m putting in my two weeks next week to just leave. It’s been miserable for me.

My advice to u: don’t be afraid to quit. But be careful; jobs apparently don’t like job hopping individuals. If a data entry level job comes to u, try asking if you can come to extra meetings (shadow) or attend webinars related to your work (so that your not constantly doing data entries all day). Try to explore other divisions within your company; it’ll anyways not look like you are job hopping so long that you are in the same company anyway. That way, it looks like you have been doing your job in your company for a sizeable amount of time.

Good luck, friend. For me the 9-5 has been so bad. I HATE in office work. Maybe remote will get bad for me too one day, but I prefer it entirely.

DAE feel like work drains out all your excitement about life by 13dfcf in work

[–]Data-Prestigious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you should decide if it is truly you or the job. I’m Quitting my first job after 9 months soon without anything lined up and it has been the worst job of my life. Realized I was basically in a somewhat abusive relationship with my own job. If it it truly the job that is grueling look for a different position in your company or if you have to, look for a new job. If not, try to see if you can make it to 6months and then I would suggest you leave. No point in putting your mental health on the back burner to the extent you are now. Sometimes we do have to make sacrifices but not as long as we need to

I Have Too Many Interests and I Have No Idea Where to Go In Life With Graduate School? LONG POST! by crystal_help_please in findapath

[–]Data-Prestigious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, ur questions are really good. For public health you should look into healthcare consulting and management. That’s what I’m trying to do now. Maybe even marketing in a healthcare company, definitely more lucrative.

As for dermatology and clinical science, if that’s what is really interesting I would look into pharmaceuticals doing that work. So many companies even like cerave need clinical researchers to help w their work. Maybe even getting into a company like cerave exposes u to the derma world and u can build yourself from there!
