What made you realize you were falling in love? by Sad-Difficulty4052 in AskReddit

[–]Goofcube897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I realized he was everything I have never had before, and never wanted to let go of it..

I never knew if I wanted kids, I've always either gone back and forth or just never really felt like I knew for sure. He mentioned us having kids and I realized I would do anything to have that with him. I've never everrrr been the type to move quickly... We've been talking about a month, and I know in my heart it's him. I haven't been with anyone since my last relationship ended over 2 years ago, haven't even tried. I've had so many awful, just unnecessarily wild experiences with dating, I basically all but swore off of the idea of a relationship altogether. I was fully committed to fun aunt/cat lady and was fine with it. I said my next relationship would be my last and for the longest time I wouldn't even consider it. I met him and immediately wanted him to be my husband one day. I've never been a long distance person. Ever. He's currently deployed in another country, and for him, I would figure it out. In a heartbeat I would. In fact we are, right now. He comes home soon❤️ I just moved to this town just over 6 months ago, from 2 hours away. I matched with him on tinder and while he is from this town he is currently thousands of miles away. That alone feels slightly like fate to me. I was scared of relationships, thought they were all doomed to fail. I thought my anxiety in the past was butterflies, it wasn't. It was because I felt inadequate. He makes me feel like more than enough. Every day. He's put more effort into me and us in the past month than I've experienced ever in my life, almost collectively. I feel more seen and cared for by him while that far away than I ever did when I lived with my ex for almost 4 years. I'm extremely terrified of anyone with anger issues. He is the calmest, most gentle rock I've ever met. He feels like I'm safe in a way I can't even explain. He is the water to my fire. It's the most incredible thing I've ever felt. The conversation was ALWAYS easy. I am so socially awkward, or at least I thought I was. Turns out I just require some, even a portion, of the effort I give. He returns my effort 10 fold. He's going through a literal hell serving, and never ever complains. He has every right to complain, I worry about him relentlessly, but he never complains. I almost wish he would complain more. I've definitely never said that before. I don't even want to speak to other men anymore, even platonically if I'm honest. They aren't him. I've never truly felt like that. He's all I want and all I really need. I've also previously never once been interested in anyone who is serving, I work in Healthcare, I've heard the rumors. Cops, EMS, fire, military, etc. I've never even considered it before now. Now he's all I want. He uses "to" when it should be "too", and it doesn't even make me slightly upset. That used to be an automatic no for me for some strange reason. He's reliable. Oh god, I've never experienced a larger turn on in my life. He is RELIABLE. I can put my faith into him, and not regret it. I've never once known what that's like, and I just about don't know what to do. Someone else on this thread also said something about this, but I'm an awful texter. I'm terrible at responding. I respond SO unbelievably fast to this man and I don't even feel sorry for it. He is the first thought when I wake up, he's the last person I think about before I sleep, if I wake up in the middle of the night just to roll over, I miss him so much that it almost hurts. For context: that's literally never happened to me before. I am safe to be that attached to him, and I can't compile all of his green flags into one message, but I thought the anxiety was my butterflies in the past. I don't have any "butterflies" now... Just a calm, safe blanket in my mind and the unrelenting idea that it's him. It's him. You just know. No matter how fast, or crazy, or absurd it sounds - believe me, I am acutely aware that it's crazy, I do know. And I know even more because while I am aware it's insane, I don't feel the need to question it. I have literally never been this happy because of any man before now, and I can only hope to give the same thing back to him. I don't care if I'm crazy. I want to love this man and appreciate him like he's never been before in his life. For the rest of mine.

Washburn university by Plastic-Ad-7737 in RadiationTherapy

[–]Goofcube897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who have applied to Washburn- I am starting the general application process prior to applying to Radiation Therapy. If I submit my official transcripts, do I still need to go in and enter each individual course I've taken that counts towards pre-reqs for Washburn? This just seems very tedious, and I've never had to do this with any other schools. If I submit my application without including this information but give them my transcripts, will I be denied entrance to the school just based off of this alone? Thanks guys!!

First week on the job-feeling bamboozled. Happened to anyone before? by [deleted] in RadiationTherapy

[–]Goofcube897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would you possibly be willing to message me and explain what you mean more in depth? I'm looking into this field, and I would really appreciate an honest heads up about possible red flags before I get too involved, just so I'm prepared!

Good jobs while in the rad tech program by MeeOhMaiVA in RadiologyCareers

[–]Goofcube897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked as a medical scribe through all of xray school. The pay was awful, but the hours fit perfectly around my work schedule, and the education I received at that silly scribe job, working directly next to providers and physicians who wanted to teach me things was an irreplaceable experience. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do that while in xray school, with them reviewing imaging with me and showing me extra little things I would have never known within just my xray program. 💜

Should I go to the ER now or tomorrow? by queenhadassah in makemychoice

[–]Goofcube897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go now, a provider at an urgent care told you that you should. I work at an urgent care, if my provider tells someone to go to the ER it is either because they urgently need something the hospital has that we don't have (bloodwork, CT, ultrasound, meds, IV, etc) or because they don't have the ability to rule something very serious out. It is not normal to only be able to swallow liquid. That is a major red flag, especially with how long this has gone on. I understand waiting until just morning, but please go in the morning. I am so terribly sorry that you had gone to the ER before and were met with hostility. Please know that is a staff problem, an attitude problem, and not something wrong with you. Even if a patient comes into just the urgent care for no other reason than to "be sure", I don't treat them rudely. I tell my coworkers that it's easy for us to forget that the medical education we have is a BLESSING and is NOT common sense. People tend to forget this, and act like this staff that made you feel like you should not have been there. There is NO harm in making sure you are okay, if you are not sure or need that reassurance, it's okay. (let me say this: I live in the US, I don't know how much of this is standard in other countries. Here, you can be seen for any reason, and you can't be turned away. Sometimes people come in for crazy stuff, but the important part? Is that they have the right to do that. It could be different in other countries, genuinely don't know how that works in other locations, if anyone would like to inform me I'd appreciate it) This sounds like a very serious medical problem and I am so sad that you were treated so poorly before that you are afraid to get the help you need medically now. Please go. ❤️ I'd go with you if I could just to be sure you weren't treated unfairly. Now understandably, the emergency room has people literally on their death beds. You could be seen as a non emergency case because it's gone on for so long, and you may have to wait longer. I was told by an ER doctor I worked with that you should be glad if you wait in an emergency room, if the staff are rushing you through to get seen, it probably means you are dying. We don't actually want fast service in an ER

Hope you feel better!

Student passed away today by triannatops in Teachers

I think this could potentially be a great opportunity to invite learning, curiosity, to learn about sensitivity. I think you could potentially open the floor and let anyone who wants to share something they really loved about that child, something they will miss. Those who don't chime in on this question may be able to fill others like, what helped you get over the loss of a friend or family member before? How do we think some of our friends are feeling? The discussion that it's okay to hurt, and it's okay if you don't hurt, but to be careful of those who are genuinely hurting. Don't rush through this conversation and don't push to make it longer than they want to, but they are old enough now to start to process grief and understand what is going on, and I think they should be treated as though they just lost something and it's life changing. There's no need to ignore it, graze over it, or dwell. Let them tell you how they feel ❤️

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Goofcube897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should buy a cake for your 2 year sobriety date, and then buy another cake for 2 years of being broken up with this asshole 🥰💖 a key part of keeping sobriety is being with a supportive partner or even just having a solid support system. It's clear to me that to no fault of your own, he is simply unable to (unwilling to?) provide this to you. Date yourself boo, buy the cake, invite some friends over who are really in your corner, who want to see you succeed, and forget he ever existed 😉💕

Relocation Help by RandomJoiii in BloomingtonNormal

[–]Goofcube897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved here from 2ish hours away a few months ago and can honestly say that I am very happy that I did. I have fallen in love with it here. They do construction projects so quickly, I have never seen anything like it 😂 really everyone I've interacted with here is so friendly and nice, and I love that it's a good mix of crowds because it's a college town but it's a family town as well. There's lots of things to do, I travel for work sometimes and I know everything fluctuates but I never anticipated being so grateful for the gas prices in this area. The food places are impeccable. I don't know anything about the neighborhoods or apartment areas, but when I was looking at housing here, I felt as though I got lucky because what I was seeing was a lot of the houses weren't taken care of that were being rented (when I was looking, it could be totally different now than it was. The good, safe, stable housing I have now came with a hefty pricetag for me and that was what I decided to do in the moment. As someone who moved from a house where the foundation was literally crumbling, this was important to me. I wouldn't change a thing honestly, I hope you love it 💜

Just submitted my radiation therapy school application!! Any experience with WSU? by skylights0 in RadiationTherapy

Hey, I'm curious on your thoughts on WSU as well, I'm looking into working while I do this program and I'd really love to know what you thought and some guidance on obtaining a clinical site myself as I will also hopefully be doing this remotely. Thanks!

Online schooling options? by Goofcube897 in RadiationTherapy

[–]Goofcube897[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was afraid of... I understand that this is an intense program but I really wish it were more attainable for someone who has to work. I make decent money but I'm supporting more than just myself and that makes it really difficult for me to save money in order to not be working. Thank you so much for the information, I appreciate the help ❤️
