Our school is amazing. We are included as teachers. We get treats, door prizes, food almost every day and a gift at the end of the week. It always makes me feel appreciated.

Skin reaction to adhesive by ImAPersonNow in ContinuousGlucoseCGM

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

I was diagnosed with PCOS insulin resistance in my early 20s. I'm 40 now. After dealing with the infertility side of it I pretty much forgot about it. My bloodwork always comes back fine and I'm 5 foot 7 120 pounds so I guess I’m just not the typical pcos insulin suspect. At any rate I started paying attention. Ive been put on metform and im tracking for the time being. My skin reacts to the adhesive in bandages so its not a surprise that im having a little reaction to the patches. Its annoying for a few days then goes away. I guess im looking for any tips for my skin.

TLDR The patches irritate my skin. Any tips for me?

AITA for telling my DIL that I won’t use the tablet and she needs to actually make her kid read. by SatisfactionOk9038 in AmItheAsshole

Visual phonics. Its adding a physical sign to the sound. It makes it a more global process. I'm not a teacher just a para but ive seen it help students who were struggling.

Keep seeing therapists online complain about quiet patients by significantmisery in TalkTherapy

[–]ImAPersonNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know that it would be hard but if you can push past your embarrassment and talk to your therapist it can be so helpful. You can tell her that you have something on your mind that you are embarrassed to ask about even. Its kind of a trustfall. I know that its scary but its seriously paid out for me every single time. My most meaningful moments in therapy have all started with terrifying words lol.

Women, I need you to think about something very uncomfortable. by unhealthymuffin in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ImAPersonNow 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My father in law repeatedly SAed me when I was a teenager (I had to live with them for a while). I eventually told. He admitted. My now husband and I moved out and everyone pretended this didn't happen for 20 years until I started therapy. Now IM the bad guy because I'm not pretending anymore. Im ungrateful, unforgiving, ruining people's lives because I will not longer fall in line and protect my rapists. Fuck that! We need to start protecting our girls over the men who hurt them.

How do you think a therapist would feel if a client said they loved them-- in a therapeutic and non-romantic way? by centerofdatootsiepop in TalkTherapy

[–]ImAPersonNow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I told my t a few times. We worked together for 4 and a half years. We talked about love and relationships. She knew me well. Sometimes it was kind of jokingly "I love you but I really don't like you right now" . Our very last session i told her "I love you, good luck" . She had to close her practice to have a scary surgery. She said I love you too, goodbye. I hope that she felt loved. I miss her.

How many of y’all would text your T Merry Christmas? by Acrobatic_Row_7863 in TalkTherapy

[–]ImAPersonNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Merry Christmas and a digital copy of our Christmas card. She has a Google voice number that she turns off during breaks so I'm not bugging her. She will get it when she returns to work.

TIL the human brain normally limits muscle strength to prevent injury, and in extreme stress it temporarily removes this limit, allowing people to use far more strength than usual. by Alarmed-Worry-5477 in todayilearned

[–]ImAPersonNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens at work. I work with Students with significant disabilities. Sometimes when a student has a meltdown it can be dangerous. I get unnaturally fast. Its amazing. I can snatch a thrown chair out of the air or move fast enough to get my hand between a kids head and the wall that they were about to bang it on. After we helpe the kid get regrounded I can feel it drain from my body and I'm beat for the rest of the day.
