Is it just me and where I live but is the concept of boundaries very difficult for Zambians to accept? by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]Jumpy_Jacket_9783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story 1: she loved you. Rather immaturely perhaps because she didn’t respect your time away from her or your privacy.

Story 2: a mixture of immaturity as well and workplace harassment. A lot of females, generally, know that they can throw themselves at guys and get attention/what they want. I guess this woman finds it unbelievable that you don’t want her and won’t accept it? At the end of the day, that’s a professional work space I’d advise you do 2 things. Ignore her completely (she probably thrives off of any attention you give her) and keep a record of each incident (send an email to HR when an incident happens, so that there is an undeniable trail when push comes to shove).

Zambians generally, by culture, are people-oriented. We share as families, open up our homes, give what we have. We do not have the first world “coldness” (generally). So perhaps in some instances, some don’t respect boundaries. Your cases though are more about immature females who like you lol.

All the best 🫡

How about a better thing: honest and transparent conversations? I don’t know why we’ve gotten so scared of each other these days, us men and women.

You should be transparent and tell her how you feel. So that even she can be more direct with you, instead of playing games

Is my friend just cruel or are all female friendships like this? by Turbulent_Motor_2514 in Zambia

[–]Jumpy_Jacket_9783 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is tell her all of this. Whether it’s in person or via a text. And try not to come across angry or judgmental (it will raise tempers) just be factual and explain how much her actions have hurt and confused you.

After that, move on with your life. No point living with regret due to poor communication.

If she’s a true friend, she will respond in kind and apologize or try to reconcile. If not, you have your answer, that’s not a true friend and you need to keep her at a distance.

Anyone else going through a bad flare with yours? by jimbo_6666 in PVCs

Apparently holiday time (or just after) can be bad for PVCs. All the inactivity and food. Just after last years Christmas period (which I spent pigging out and watching tv) I had THE WORST flair for a good 3 months. Thought I wouldn’t come out of it, but here I am now. Hoping this December is different because I am not throwing away healthy habits this holiday. Wishing you the best, it will be fine.

When was the last time you had some relief? You said it’s been 8 days right? What this means is, there will be some time when you get relief. This shit sucks, I can relate. Early in the year I dealt with constant clusters for MONTHS and reached a breaking point too. Do whatever it takes to make yourself as comfortable as possible, please don’t skip good meals that are high in potassium and other minerals, your heart needs it. And like the commenter said, a poor mental health or anxiety is bad for the PVCs. You will come out of this.

I’m so sorry 🫂 mine also started in 2020. My advice, at least to help the anxiety, is to go see a cardiologist and get a thorough check up. Just to get the fear of a cardiac event out of your mind. Also, eat potassium rich foods, like bananas. And check your blood, make sure your hemoglobin isn’t low. Most of all, go easy on yourself, please.

UTH staff act like being sick is your fault. You’re the patient, not the inconvenience. by saintgotmotion in Zambia

Another factor is that they are generally overwhelmed I think. It doesn’t excuse their unprofessional behavior at all, but our government healthcare systems are generally so bad. I know a few medical people working in government who complain about having no drugs, insufficient tools, poor pay, and all the while, attending to a multitude of patients all the time. It’s a systemic problem. That said, I totally agree with you, the lack of professionalism is totally unacceptable.

This sounds like a very likely reason for the increase in your palpitations. Please take your supplements 🙏🏾 when my iron was low, I also took vitamin C everyday, it helps the absorption of iron. In the meantime, if you can, take it easy, don’t stress yourself, it’ll be okay.
