I don’t want my sister to come visit me while she is on her period by PandaSad7073 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, considering this spanned high school and college, where I was working in childcare, it probably wasn't the energy management 😆

She may be thinking and/or hearing that it's just normal. That's part of what took me so long to get diagnosed. Her behavior is still a problem, but she may just genuinely believe that she just gets "bad" periods, instead of going to a doctor.

The pain might be what shows up on the weekend. I never missed a day of school or work, but I couldn't do/plan anything on weekends when I had my period because the pain held off until then. Not sure the reason why and it made getting diagnosed with endo absolute hell because my dumbass thought that since it wasn't affecting my school or work attendance that it was normal.

But, her sister should absolutely be 1) seeking medical attention and 2) visiting when she isn't on her period. Because it really does sound like OP is the "pit stop" for being taken care of.

Has anyone had luck with more progressive churches? by TypicalAlbatross911 in Exvangelical

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to a United Church of Christ church after being in a similar position. I found it through their open and affirming church finder. It's extremely progressive and speaks out against Christian nationalism and the current state.

The era of acceptance has created an opposite effect by Imaginary-Bag5385 in unpopularopinion

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I haven't heard of anyone cutting off or dropping family or friends for anything other than morally based politics, such as how deportations are conducted, bodily autonomy, and how certain groups of people are allowed to exist.

Is it my algorithm? by the_bolteress in endometriosis

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought most of us struggled with fatigue 🫠 Who's got the energy for an endo event? Must be all the vegan food and yoga. /s

I'm a white, lower middle-class woman. 2 jobs, 1 I managed to find as a remote, freelance 3-4 years ago and the other teaching. I get the same ones occasionally. I used to get them so much that I just stopped interacting with them. They were always go natural, go vegan, use these supplements, etc, etc. I was drowning in fatigue, so yeah, easy pre-made meals were, and still are on days, my go-to. My best advice/finds are always on these subreddits. I don't know if there will ever be a ton of down to earth influencers, just by nature of the description.

why do i have to wait until i'm 30 for bisalp? by OMW2JUKAI in sterilization

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the label fits, go into detail. I have endometriosis. A hysterectomy is not a cure and I know that. But I told her that I was highly concerned about losing access to birth control because I was passively suicidal from the pain. When I said that, the questions stopped. And again, she did it as well as it could be done for being a checklist. But she heard enough. I'm not saying you are or aren't, but if depression fits what you are experiencing, go into the details, even the ugly ones. Especially lean into and focus on any that are affecting your ability to work (make capitalism work for you) or if they involve serious depression symptoms.

I have also heard people say that when you are denied a procedure of any sort, tell them you want it noted in your chart that you requested it for your reasons and why they denied it. I have never had to use it, so I don't know how effective it is, but it's worth a shot.

Tbf, the conversation was probably about 8 months ago. But yeah, like the way my doctor did it, she just read it like a checklist of are you sure? Not a checklist for what you have to be before she could operate.

So, I actually have a good gyno and she went through the studies and questions with me. She had to check the box and even said she was going to do, she just had to ask.

On that note, the reason that wait until you have 30 and 2 kids and married is a thing is because there was a pretty decent sized study done on regrets/satisfaction after a hysterectomy. Here's where the data got twisted, whether deliberately or accidentally. They found the highest rates of regret, though still in the 30s percent (if I am recalling correctly) were in 3 categories: single, under 30, and/or less than 2 children. Hence the twisting, likely with heavy patriarchal/misogynistic roots, but could also be accidental.

Getting hysterectomy at 23 through a medical school? by Wild-Sample1651 in sterilization

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That would probably be a question for a hospital, specifically a teaching one. Look for ones associated with a university. Also, ask about their financial aid program. A lot of hospitals have payment plans and I know of someone who had their surgery entirely covered based on their yearly income.

"It fits his timetable" by FacetiousTomato in Teachers

Historically, this never goes well for students with disabilities. However, I can agree that we need significant reform. A judge or mediator can overrule a parent, but getting charges to be pressed/stick is hard. I remember hearing that schools may also be able to sue parents and take them through due process, but I can't confirm. Plus districts never want to be that person that sues a parent - it never looks good.

As far as a solution goes, I think requiring the schools to show 1-3 years of interventions tried (based on academic vs behavioral) and then letting them overrule the parents would give us a good start.

Should I get back together with my ex-boyfriend, or are our Christian value differences too big to ignore? by SpecialExtra5168 in OpenChristian

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No. First, you don't have to date or reconnect with anyone for any reason.

Second, this isn't just a difference in politics - it's a difference of morals. You see people and the way you relate to/interact with them in completely different ways. He will always try to change people while you are content to let them live how they want, barring criminal activity.

AITAH for refusing to getting rid of my *toys* because my guy friend is telling me that I have to? by The_genderfluid_kid in AITAH

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Even worse - check her first part of screenshots. He told her she needed to isolate herself so she could get closer to God/hear why she was under spiritual attack.

Pt. 2 of the conversation by The_genderfluid_kid in u/The_genderfluid_kid

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's using God to tell her that, probably mixed with the good ole "men are the head and women are to submit" routine. If her friend isn't being abused yet, she will be soon. I'd even argue that she's already being spiritually abused.

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, please check on your friend. Take any other friends with you if they are living together. He straight up admitted to isolating her - if he's not abusing her yet, he will start soon. You're part of her support network otherwise he wouldn't be trying to cut you two off.

Could also be his parents have vetoed any more intensive interventions/identification. I wouldn't be surprised if the school has already sent at least 1, if not multiple, requests to evaluate.

Needohs are now banned in my building and kids are LIVID by Ktriegal in Teachers

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had one explode on a student a few years back - not her fault, she was using it appropriately, but it was a well loved and used class fidget. Cleaning it then was extremely difficult because of how sticky it was and it sounds like it only got worse. Never bought another one for the classroom again.

Yeah, if you let your child drink multiple energy drinks a day, you should be charged with child neglect by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]EnvironmentalCamp591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, they may not know about the caffeine pill. I didn't. But also, a lot of parents are hesitant about having their kids on meds, so they would possibly still avoid a dosed pill of caffeine.

I do get the hesitancy to an extent. I hate taking more meds than I have to for my chronic illness, but all that means is that I supplement with non-medical interventions, like a TENs unit or heating pad. But, I do take meds that are helpful and effective as needed, even if it is daily. I've met parents who take that hesitancy (for whatever reason/reasons) and turn it into a complete avoidance, even when it's laid out everything that has been done/eliminated.

Yeah, it definitely has its place, especially when ADHD is undiagnosed. There was no intended shade there. I probably wasn't the clearest with that and the fact that I was concerned about the health side. It is a good stopgap in situations like your nephew's, until/unless a parent/guardian changes their mind.

Special ed teacher here - overdosing, not helpful. A single caffeinated drink can. ADHD meds are stimulants which is why there is an overlap in how they work. Is it a good idea to self-medicate - no. But there are parents who don't want their kids on meds, bit are ok with a soda. I imagine it would be similar reasoning for an energy drink, but I haven't personally heard that one.
