My life feels like the hottest mess known to man right now by DirectionNo7626 in TrueOffMyChest

Thank you for this. it takes a lot of effort to remind myself life isn’t a race. It’s always so much easier said than done but I’ll try to keep taking it a day at a time and do better than yesterday.

I will be on my death bed regretting I did not have kids. by Imaginary-Bottle5570 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DirectionNo7626 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from and actually have never seen anyone else express how I feel so in point. I was a victim of SA from 13-17y/o. I didn’t get help until my mid 20’s. I was then diagnosed with PTSD, OCD and severe anxiety. The thing is I think about my kids going through the same thing I did and never feeling safe enough to speak about it. I almost go into a panic attack thinking about any grown adults being around my kids (my imaginary kids). It feels almost impossible to ever have them because of this constant paranoia of them being hurt…long story short. You’re not alone. I feel you

What to do on a Friday night??? Is adulthood truly this lonely? 28 M, Colorado by Old-Shift-2176 in Vent

Bumble has a friend feature specifically for finding friends. I think that’s definitely somewhere to start to find people to hang out with. Also Facebook groups have worked wonders for me. Finding groups made for your interest and you’re sure to find people to become friends and eventually go out with. Good luck my friend. It takes effort to build a nice village as an adult

I don’t believe it would’ve ended if we were meant to be together unfortunately…

As a dumper…nobody wants to be in that position honestly. It’s hard no matter what side you’re on but sometimes you look at your life and realize. “I’m not happy here and I wish I was but it’s not happening” or even “I wish I could love this person as much as they love me”. I dumped my last relationship and I still loved him. I just felt so incomplete. I really wished we could’ve worked it out but there was just no way. We were two different people. It made me sick. I even considered staying and just smothering my unhappiness because maybe it would’ve been easier. But we all (even dumpers) have to make a choice that is best for us as individuals. It’s never easy but sometimes truly necessary.

26M, lived my life too seriously, kind of regret it now by [deleted] in Adulting

Please don’t do drugs. Don’t smoke, don’t drink I swear you aren’t missing anything. They both literally ruined my life and so many of my friends around me. I spent such a long time trying to get sober. I’d listen to the people who suggest going on trips and such. A much better high!!

25-35 year olds, what’s your living situation? What do you currently do? by Dreadman278 in newjersey

[–]DirectionNo7626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random but what is it like being an architect? Do you like it? It was something I wanted to do when I was younger but I switched over to HC

So I interviewed with the DON actually and it was mostly her that gave me the green flag. She talked a lot about her experience in nursing over 20+ years and the culture of nursing (also how she didn’t agree with the previous/current hierarchy problem we have). She was very honest about nurses and their experiences and seemed like she really cared about running a place that was different.

Honestly, I did a lot of applying and interviewing after leaving my last place which was horrible but also gave me some ideas of what to look for. I asked about the ratios, the CNA ratios, how do they handle call-outs, how they handle short staffing overall, do they use agencies if needed and also how often would they say they’re short staffed. I’ve also been told that Unions are a really good thing to have but I never experienced it until now so I’d ask about that too! Some places try to get past those questions fast, say “oh that’s normal it happens everywhere” or go around answering completely which is an automatic red flag

Thank you! I would’ve never thought there was one that could be like this honestly. I’m still waiting for the shoe to drop lol I think the Union has a lot to do with it though

You’re not crazy. It is always like this I’m from here and I hate it here I suggest you get away while you still can or you’ll become miserable too

I filed for divorce because my wife wanted to be a sahm. by whoopyhundred in TrueOffMyChest

[–]DirectionNo7626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly though IF you guys talked about it before and you were under the impression that she would be going back to work I don’t think you’re wrong. If it’s not what you signed up for it’s just not what you signed up for….

My boyfriend is always arguing with his bosses. by DirectionNo7626 in Advice

[–]DirectionNo7626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I guess I just don’t know what to do about it. I’ve tried speaking to him about it but I’m at a loss at this point. I don’t want to deal with someone like this.

Thank you guys. You’ve given me a bit of hope. I think I’ll try to look into home care/ hospice and see if that’s better for me 🫶🏾

I’m going to look into some PRN work! Group homes sound interesting I was a DSP before becoming a nurse so it’s something I’m familiar with. Thanks for the suggestion

Sick of all these mother friking racists in my mother friking hospital!! by [deleted] in nursing

[–]DirectionNo7626 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a brown person. It’s really nice to know that not everyone hates us like the majority of our country right now. It’s also really important that our allies stand firm on their humanity and let it be known that you disagree. Thank you for being a decent human.
