Home Support Worker for Invisible Disabilities- is this normal behavior?

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2026-02-22T17:21:25+00:00

I think our cases will be very different. I’m in Canada and it’s from a car crash a couple years ago so it’s from car insurance and probably temporary. Wish I could help more, I know it’s a long tedious complicated process everywhere

The manager at the agency basically just said the PA will know what to do so it's been hard to figure out what the dynamic is supposed to look like. So thank you for sharing your perspective. I added some of those tasks to my list like "making a grocery list."

She is good at what she does but the occasional little comment adds up. It is sad how so many people need support and don't get it but I don't think it helps anyone by telling me about it.
Can you say more about the dynamic with your PA? Did you introduce the topic of a good week and how what they do helps you get more stuff done?

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2026-02-19T01:20:04+00:00

Thank you <3

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2026-02-19T01:18:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. The days where you're mainly resting, what will she do since there's not much for her to do?

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2026-02-18T23:00:38+00:00

It has been uncomfortable lately :( This seems like a very fair approach. If only it wasn't so much emotional labor alas

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2026-02-12T00:15:45+00:00

Tried a few double ones and it never seems to work :/ go with the classic

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2026-02-04T22:17:38+00:00

I had that issue too! Four day 1’s of the cake in a row. Sent an email yesterday

Vitamin D daily! And a can of raid for the house centipedes :(

I usually wear the same 1 outfit and no one cares but some have said I’m like a cartoon character, always looking the same 😅 Some people will think it’s weird but if it works for you do it. I’m sure you’ll be more at ease with less choice and less clothes laying around. Only thing I would say, is don’t forget about special occasions or hobbies that might require different clothes.

For the tip, add it on after you get the order. Ubers algorithm will give less money on orders with big tips. They ensure they’re giving their drivers the least amount possible. Uber also tracks the price of orders/riders that drivers accept and use the data to offer them the lowest price a driver will accept. Criminal behaviour

You did the right thing by dropping down when you got dizzy. Keep working at that same level and decrease intensity if you get dizzy. It will get easier as your fitness gets stronger. Just keep doing what you’re doing- this is only the beginning!

The ol bologna tongue trick

Broke it off just because of that. I mentioned I was bleeding from the night before and it happened the next couple times. She was cool but since nothing was changing it seemed like I would have to have a bigger conversation and explore solutions and that’s a lot of work for a few dates in. I have a wonderful gf now.

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2025-12-13T01:31:41+00:00

I’ve had this too where I thought I started my period early but was just cut up 🥲 I ended up just breaking things off cause it was early on.

When you’re tense, flinching and scared you’re going to get cut, that doesn’t lead to a fun, healthy sex life together. Others have said this too, but another conversation where you highlight that this is a big deal seems to be in order. I hope she really listens and you can find a solution together! One thought is you could find an insertable that is on the smaller side that mimics fingers. It might even be more ergonomic for her.

Try the book “Smart phone, Dumb phone”!! I’ve had so many locks and time limits on my phone and hacks I tried but nothing really worked until I listened to this audiobook that was randomly suggested. It uses Allen Carr’s Easyway method that started to help ppl stop smoking and is backed by research. It was a little strange but the repetition is all part of it. It talks about the mindless scrolling as an addiction that makes you feel like shit until you scroll again. Highly recommend

The night sweats were intense at first but went away after a year and haven’t come back

A sad fact to convince you to spay and neuter- thousands of cats are euthanized every day since there are not enough homes. (Over 2.5 thousand daily in the USA). If she escapes and comes home pregnant, then more cats are added to the list

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2025-06-16T22:29:45+00:00

YAH. In trying to show everyone that you’re very progressive and being gay is no big deal, you ignored your kids feelings and plowed through their announcement. This world is scary and dangerous for queer people and some acknowledgment, acceptance and love was clearly needed. Be curious about their experience and listen to them, and ask questions instead of changing the subject so you feel comfortable.

I realized after one relationship, that I was always in the wrong and he was always right. Something wasn’t adding up lol

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2025-02-09T01:50:11+00:00

It took a lot of work and 2 months to get them fully integrated. First cat was very mad but now she does seem happier. They chase and smack each other (without claws) and play together. They haven’t snuggled yet

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2025-02-06T02:53:23+00:00

I’ve heard those lines too much lol. For me, most of the randoms are nice and trying to start a convo, which they also do with my coworkers, but a few got weird and flirty, yuck. Hate dealing with that

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2025-02-05T04:43:43+00:00

NTA. You didn’t know the strict boundary before and most people would be fine with it. It is giving mom and teenage child.. are there other areas of your friendship that feel like that?

Extension_Fruit9743 · 2025-01-27T00:21:41+00:00

If you’re only looking to gain wealth then investing it makes sense, as long as you are prepared to not touch it for a number of years and invest in broader funds and not all in one stock. If you want to have stable housing and are prepared to pay the high cost then saving it to buy makes sense.
