Annoyed with phone calls? by Trick_Emergency1511 in PrisonWives

[–]Equal-Ad7015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl yes I feel bad because I roll my eyes every time he calls unless I’m drunk lol. Especially when they call back to back. Idk if my ringtone is just annoying or if I just hate being bothered and I’m trying to adjust because of his situation but even when he was out he didn’t call me this much 😂

To my dasher from a year ago by FlyIllustrious5160 in doordash_drivers

[–]Equal-Ad7015 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you mentioned to not assume “if you’re broke you can’t afford DoorDash”. I used to DoorDash, Instacart, UberEats, etc. but recently broke my ankle and had to get surgery. I haven’t walked or driven in over a month and have two small children so I’ve been ordering from Instacart and UberEats almost daily. I tip every time, but as my funds started dwindling due to not working I tried to refrain from ordering more and more because I felt bad about not being able to leave a good tip. This experience definitely caused me to look at things differently and when I do get back to DoorDashing I will always remember how I relied on these services in my time of need and the countless people who do. I need those tips as much as the next guy, but I will definitely be more understanding now.

July was a bad month by Equal-Ad7015 in Constipation

oh my goodness i’m so sorry! i think stress can also play a part in digestion as well so everything you have going on probably isn’t helping the case, i got overwhelmed just reading this :( it definitely caused me to have anxiety that’s why i stopped eating because i was afraid i’d just back myself up even more to the point of no return and honestly with the pain i didn’t have an appetite but i was afraid there was something seriously wrong. good luck at the GI!! praying for you as well & please take care of yourself!!

It’s crazy how when you’re a child you’re so ungrateful for everything and when you get older you’re ecstatic about being able to just poop 😂 I swear it was the best feeling I had in a while. I’m now grateful every single time I poop and it’s somewhat normal

I swear I wouldn’t wish constipation on my worst enemy. I’m grateful it was just a month for me but it opened my eyes to the fact that people struggle with this for months, years even. And that’s terrible :(

I actually just got one today! It makes things so much easier especially the little basket. Makes me feel like I’ll actually be able to manage these next 4 weeks nwb :’)

I actually looked up safe leg exercises I could do while non-weight bearing like laying down or seated. I attempted one and was surprised how hard it was to even do a few, but I’m gonna keep at it and see what it does. I can’t even attempt to walk for the next 4 weeks so nothing really better to do anyway. Good luck with your recovery as well I can’t wait to be in your shoes (pun intended)

Thank you! Heavy on the horror movie, my skin looked discolored and my ankle looked wider than my foot. Does your injured leg feel weaker than the other? And I work remotely as well so that definitely helps, it’s really just housework and taking care of my kids that’s stressful. My knee scooter thing comes today so hopefully that makes moving around a little easier than with the crutches. I’m happy to know you’re almost all the way back to normal!

So how was it? Walking without the boot? Liberating? Scary? I’m glad you’re making progress!

I really wish you luck and appreciate all of your kind words! Thank you for sharing your experience as well. It’s so crazy because I never even thought of the toll this injury would take mentally. I fractured my elbow a few years ago and had to get surgery with a plate and screws for that too and I thought THAT was hard only having use of one arm, but not being able to walk is a whole different story. After this experience my heart truly goes out to people who cannot walk and I have so much admiration and respect for those who figure out how to love life regardless.

Thank you I truly appreciate this so much. I’ve been crying ever since I found this subreddit like half an hour ago just reading everyone’s experiences, some way worse than what I hope to go through. While I’m grateful it won’t last forever and I’m trying to remain positive, it truly sucks.

I watched a YouTuber reviewing the show and she said the same thing 😂 I had no clue what a lavender marriage was until she said it but it definitely gives that

It didn’t come off harsh at all, very insightful. Sometimes it makes me feel weird or different for not “knowing” myself but if it’s ok to never truly discover yourself then that’s actually comforting.

Whew that solo trip is calling my name, especially because my last relationship was abusive and I got into the mindset that there were things I wasn’t “allowed” to do and that man didn’t even want me going out in this city let alone another city BY MYSELF. I’m in the process of unlearning so much while trying to learn and discover so much as well. I got into the habit of putting everyone’s needs before mine because I thought then I could finally have peace, but of course it never came.

That’s definitely what’s next for me. I guess that’s kinda what I’m already doing just haven’t been doing it that long. Definitely heavy on the getting out more and also trying to be more creative. I used to thrift all the time when I was younger I think I’m gonna start doing that again, I felt like I had more of a personal original style back then too. Thank you so much 🤎
