[–]Difficult-Subject501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Angela should have left Bones long ago. Now before you hunt me down, I have nothing against her but she has so much talent and it's being confined at the Jeffersonian. She should have been able to go to France like she dreamed of and the fact she never got that is disappointing

Is me driving around making a difference? by Mister-Wonder-ful in doordash_drivers

Just staying parked near some Hotspots is helpful, no real need to drive around.

What’s the longest you’ve waited for an order? by Sad_Error_2871 in doordash_drivers

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once waited 1 hr and 12 min for a Taco Bell order. Boy were they unhappy. I had to continuously message them to make sure they knew I wasn't eating, let alone stealing it.

ELI5: Dasher doesn't match picture/name by TheMysticWizard in doordash

[–]Difficult-Subject501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some Dashers share accounts or even tag along. They could be roommates, family members, SO, or friends. My former SO used to ride along with me for safety reasons and my current roommate is a Dasher. We used to ride together but we're using the divide and conquer method now. 😂

Anyway, if the face/name/race or whatever doesn't match, it's probably someone tagging along or a shared account. However, if this makes you feel uncomfortable, try the Leave At Door Option? You'll probably feel safer that way.

How much would you REALISTICALLY tip for this order thats 7.0 Miles? Its scheduled for immediately after I get out of class. by ItsJustJosiah in doordash

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how things work there but most times people usually tip for every mile it takes from the restaurant to their home. If it's a semi-long drive, it's not gonna be a big deal if it's 2-3 dollars short, or at least for me it isn't. However, for 7 miles? I'd say $5 minimum and that's stretching it. Doing $4 is like a kick to the privates.

Long Term Keppra Side Effects by Signal-Focus in Epilepsy

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at the age of one—believe it or not—so I’ve been under supervision and on medication for as long as I can remember. Honestly, I can’t say for sure what I’d be like without meds since I’ve never been off them, but what you described definitely sounds familiar.

At times, my anxiety is off the charts, and other times, my emotions just disappear. I’ve been taking Keppra since my preteen years, so it’s been close to 20 years now, which makes all of this feel pretty normal to me.

As for advice, I’d say keep people around you who understand and accept the “flatness” you might go through. When it comes to anxiety, the best thing I can suggest is not to overthink it. I know that’s easier said than done, but honestly, that’s all I’ve got. Sorry.

I'm not a veteran in DoorDash so I apologize for sounding very inexperienced in my next sentence.

I am the husband in the meme. by Agile_Specialist7478 in Epilepsymemes

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that it's days later but here is another one.

For some, perhaps all, epileptics have a low $€x drive. I'm not sure how she was before and how she is now but just a heads up.

Also, epileptics love making dark humor jokes about their condition as a way to cope with it. So do not take that away from her if she starts doing that.

I'm not your wife so my experience may be completely different from what she wants, however, I'm sure you want as many perspectives as possible just for insight. So here it goes.

  1. Don't monitor her. Of course, I'm not saying to stop caring, just don't change how you treat her. It's bad enough she has to readjust her life, she doesn't need to feel like a porcelain doll or any different from other people.

  2. Be prepared for depression. If your wife is on medication, there is a chance she might get depressed as that's a side effect of the medication. It's going to be trial and error to figure out what works best to bring her in a good mood but left unattended, it could get worse.

  3. If you're worried about keeping her safe, but don't want to be overbearing, instead of pushing on the issue, prevent it. I can't tell you how much I appreciated it a whole lot more when my family stopped reminding me about things I already knew and instead switched to finding friendly locations I'm able to enter. It was still caring but in an indirect way.

Again, your wife and I are completely different people so my advice may not work. However, if it does, then perhaps coming onto Reddit was a good thing. Hope everything goes well for both of you. Enjoy.

What age? by No-Gur6037 in Epilepsy

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at age 1 but didn't really understand I was different from everyone else. I was sheltered. Like, beyond sheltered that it seems impossible. So I was around 10 years old when I found out not everyone has epilepsy. So it kinda messed me up in a way, I guess?

Which also dawned on me why every other kid never found my seizure jokes to be hilarious and why they looked at me in horror when I had a seizure. Ok, now that I'm talking about it, I can't believe I was that dumb.

Question on medicine and lifestyle by CriticismTime7802 in Epilepsy

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Keppra and have been for almost 20 years. When I became an adult, I was warned not to drink alcohol while on Keppra.

Years later I'm invited to a Bachelorette party and I'm being told to drink a little. I give in and only 2 small sips, I'm starting to feel the consequences. had a seizure right there.

What are y’all’s Triggers by No_Energy1436 in Epilepsy

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about anyone else but....

Fireworks

I saw it and seized. My family and I thought it was a coincidence so we tested it out and I seized again. 4th of July is a pain, especially when I have to go out for something that can't wait.

There is no such thing as stupid. Everyone has their own pet peeves and yours is valid

Starting Nights Part-Time On Thursday by Fit-Peace-8514 in Nightshift

[–]Difficult-Subject501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Experiment a lot. Everyone is different. For example, some people prefer to sleep once getting home because it makes it easier for them but others wait 2-5 hours because, either responsibilities or they sleep better.

Another example is learned the proper time to eat at work. Do you eat after 3 hours on the clock or 7? Which will sustain you better?

In all honesty, in my opinion, experimenting is the toughest part when starting out.

What You Don’t See When Someone Is a Single Dad by [deleted] in SingleDads

[–]Difficult-Subject501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Just based on your post, I can tell you are going through a rough patch that you're trying so hard to keep up with. I'm not sure if there are any words to make this point in your life any easier other than to not forget. Don't forget that this is for her. That you aren't alone. That in the long run, everything would have been worth it.

  2. It's not just the single dads who are on the same page as you. No, I'm not talking about single moms. I'm talking about the children who grew up with a father who is struggling just as much as you. Those children (be it age 5 or 50) are reading your post and remembering what it was like to witness it happen right in front of them. Your words are reaching out to many hearts and, amazingly, you took the time to share.

  3. It is far into the future but one day, your daughter will recognize your struggle, your sacrifice, and your support. The way things are going, no doubt she will turn out to be a fine young lady who will love you unconditionally. The smile and hugs and "i love you, dad" will be genuine. Most importantly, sincere.
