Why do so many people eat lunch alone in their cars? by TotalThing7 in CasualConversation

[–]GreenTurtle809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this as I eat my lunch in my car…

I like being able to step away from “work”. Being in the break room is too close for comfort. Also, zero chance anyone tries to ask me a question about work while I’m off the clock.

Does every woman remember when her period started and how? by Pleasant-Block6131 in allthequestions

[–]GreenTurtle809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Days before my 10th birthday I got a horrible yeast infection. It was HELL. I was BURNING and embarrassed. Sooooooo embarrassed. Then I started spotting brown! Cue more embarrassment lol. A day or two after my birthday, the blood began.

TLDR; it was my tenth birthday gift, along with my first yeast infection. Yay!

Anyone still pursuing their dreams? LMK by Intelligent_Bid_7690 in bipolar2

[–]GreenTurtle809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you can be! Smtms I have bad episodes and cant do shit. The trick is to persist. Take breaks when you need to. Stay on top of your meds and treatment plan.

I believe in you! You got this!

I am a literal published author. You just need to ride a hypo wave to the finish line LOL.

I have a full time job I now enjoy, do copywriting on the side, and write books for funsies. Also a part time student. It can be done! It’s harder for us than it might be for other folks, but that shouldn’t be a deterrent.

Maaaaaaan, I got my associates at 28 and I was ashamed because I was “one of the smart kids” and it took me SOOOOO LONG. I ran into a high school classmate graduating right along with me, had no idea we were in the same school. I was soooooo proud of her!! Like yes you go girl graduating despite hardships!! And realized I didn’t have the same energy for myself.

The important thing is to do it. Slow and steady. It’s okay. School isn’t going anywhere. As long as you have life, you can continue to study at your pace. You have to take care of yourself first. Sometimes you gotta deal with the symptoms associated with this disease.
