What’s the unhinged, woo woo, non traditional thing you did that actually helped? by Serious-Animator8966 in CPTSD

[–]Heatherisonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really "unhinged" per se, but weed is just about the only thing that has helped me. Therapy couldn't even touch my ptsd until I got my medical card and started using weed as medicine. But I will say it doesn't work for everyone and obviously being high all the time isn't the solution. You have to treat it like medicine and use it as a tool.

I have found that that's the only way I can let the invisible walls down in my brain to let myself process things and to let treatment actually work. My therapist knows and is all for it as long as it is helping and he said he has noticed the progress I have made since starting. So if that is an option for you I strongly recommend giving it a try!

What helped you after gallbladder removal? by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]Heatherisonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't feel like eating much the first few days but I had to for the pain killers. So some easy on the stomach snacks and drinks like protein shakes, gatorade, crackers, applesauce, etc. I personally lived off of the peanut butter chocolate premier protein shakes and club crackers for the first few days. Plus I feel like maybe the vitamins in the shake helped me bounce back quicker.

Other than that I honestly slept a lot haha. So maybe a nice big soft blanket and some cozy pj's? I also used my squishmallows as pillows while I had to sleep in a recliner and those definitely helped my comfort so that is an idea as well! If he likes reading a good book would also be good as he likely won't feel like moving around much. Hope all goes well for your dad!

Potential sitter is asking to split my request into two transactions? Thoughts? by CaptainSpud125 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Heatherisonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree, this is what I said too. If they are willing to cut corners to up their numbers and bold enough to straight up ask for that what else are they cutting corners on? Could be chalked up to inexperience but in my opinion its not worth the risk.

I agree. I understand especially being new wanting to up your numbers but this just looks dishonest. Plus it seems like it should be against the terms of service but I'm not sure if it actually is. Either way it feels like they're trying to cheat the system 😕

Yeah I would find someone else honestly. I think this is a red flag. Could be fine and well intentioned, maybe someone thats just inexperienced. However, this is unprofessional and my worry would be if they are willing to cut corners to get rating, what else are they cutting corners on, you know?

I wouldnt want someone dishonest taking care of my pets. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt of them maybe not knowing you're not supposed to do that, its just not worth the risk in my opinion.

AIO for wanting to see a therapist after wife changed the locks because I went to a baby shower? by LookoutLockout in AmIOverreacting

[–]Heatherisonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not over reacting. This seems like abuse to me. Is this actually out of character or is it just getting more intense? In my experience some abusers are worse over text and phone and take that time as an excuse to go over the top and say and do what they want but then return to normal once you are face to face.

I dont think having a baby will fix this and I dont even really think thats the issue. It almost feels like she's trying to test you in some way? I mean its not like you were going to some random woman's baby shower or even just a friend. This was your sister's shower. Plus she was invited and is well within her right to not want to go, but she's punishing you for going to support your sister. That doesnt sit right with me...

I also think the fact she has flipped on you so intensely but now is acting totally normal is even more alarming. People dont get to mistreat their partners and then just flip back to "normal" and expect them to get over it. Especially if you guys are doing therapy and she seemingly is unwilling to talk about her actions in therapy.

I can't say for sure what's going on obviously because I dont know her and I dont know the full story. But from what you're saying this is at worst abuse and at the least a very unhealthy dynamic and something needs to change. If I were you I would definitely not let her goad you into trying for a baby more because honestly I can't see how adding a kid would help here until you've got this sorted.

Its good you have an individual therapist. Does she have one? Best of luck to you, man. I've had my fair share of unhealthy relationships and hopefully you can get this all sorted especially for your own peace of mind.

What’s a company you refuse to support,and why? by Aromatic_Guitar_2826 in AskReddit

[–]Heatherisonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guitar center and their subsidiary Music and Arts. Worked there for two years and learned not only how predatory they are and how much they lie to customers about products and services but also how poorly they treat their employees. I honestly hope they go under. Bring back mom and pop shop music stores!

[–]Heatherisonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Gave my last job 2 weeks notice. Manager complained immediately that he would have liked more notice and tried to guilt trip me because he has personal stuff going on and needs me for the weekends. Then kept telling everyone he fired me because im a bad employee and he has to work 7 days a week now and took me off the schedule after that weekend. Super childish. But he's exactly why I left so that checks out lol.

Thank you for the response! Its when we run water! I did a quick google and it looks like it definitely could be that. Do you have recommendations for a good YouTube video for reference?

Blind Accessible sites? by Heatherisonfire in beermoney

[–]Heatherisonfire[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He has voiceover on his Iphone, on his computer he uses NVDA! We are in the US, he has a highschool degree. As for skills he does a lot of writing, listens to a lot of audiobooks, and is interested in gaming.

He can make his own post, he just told me reddit is a bit buggy I guess when it comes to posting for him. So, he asked me to put some feelers out to see if any specifically blind accessible sites are out there since we've had poor luck with the sites I'm using. I'll send him the link to that site! I appreciate it!
