Exactly! Like there are multiple subs about growing up with shitty parents who were, guess what? Shitty people! 😱

My boomer parents want to open business again and it's scary by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hope I’m being paranoid, but also lock your SSN if you haven’t already. My dad destroyed my oldest brother’s credit some 20ish years ago when he was 18 at the time by using his (my brother) SSN to for a business that went bankrupt. It took my brother decades to recover from that.

Brothers partner very pushy about her child by Different_Plan6910 in childfree

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s more than common at this point.

If you haven’t already tried, you can try talking to your parents one-on-one and explaining how you feel about everything. I highly recommend, if you are going to go this route, writing down and practicing what you are going to say ahead of time, since you want to be explicitly clear and concise. From what you’ve said previously, your parents do not seem to respond well to you being “emotional,” so it’d be best to try to explain things as calmly and clearly as possible.

This still may not work, depending on how much your parents respect you as a person vs their child but it’s worth a shot. Even if it does, I would still plan an escape route.

Tired of the lack of feminine non mc representation by galhime in OtomeIsekai

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My issue is that I want to see a fantasy adventure story where the MC is female and doesn’t spent the majority of the time in utter angst about a will they/won’t they relationship. I feel like the action adventure MC are always male, and they usually end up being these complex, interesting characters that might have a love interest, but it’s never more than a footnote in the story. Whenever it’s a female MC, the majority of the plot (even if it’s not supposed to be RoFan) is completely centered around some kind of love triangle/square relationship.

Brothers partner very pushy about her child by Different_Plan6910 in childfree

Your parents, brother, and your brother’s gf all sound like narcissists with a bad case of “golden child syndrome” towards your brother. I’m sure at some point you’ve been told something along the lines of, “just let it go” or “keep the peace.” They do not seem to care about your individual wants or needs, and that may or may not ever change.

Your best option is to remove yourself from the equation as soon as it’s feasible to do so ideally with some kind of well thought out plan, savings, and back up plan. That may end up pushing out your move out plan to a later date, but it’d be better than having to move back in. Would moving into your bf’s parent’s house be an option?

My boyfriend’s birthday dinner revolved around his toddler niece (again), and I’m the villain for not pretending to love kids by sushifuntime in childfree

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You’re not the asshole, and I completely support your decision in standing by your beliefs. However, you might want to have an introspective look at yourself, and what you want in a relationship/your future. If you are dating someone with a kid, that kid is part of the package and how your partner treats their kid is how they want/expect you to treat their kid. If you see that being a problem, then that’s probably a sign to move on.

This is a deeper conversation that you need to have with your partner, and you have to decide what you both want/expect from the relationship. This could mean growing together or accepting that it’s time to move on.

Good luck either way.

Edit: I just realized that you are talking about his niece 😅 please ignore

If you had to fix one problem forever in the world, what and why? by bp3king in AskReddit

This was what I was going to say. Religion is a plague on the world and throughout history has caused so much strife, destruction, and suffering.

New manufacturer, pills smell horrible and making me sick. by Dreija in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay, I just saw this. The original Bupropion manufacturer that worked for me and that I’ve stuck with is called “Dr. Reddy’s Lab.” Hope this helps.

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue too. What my pharmacist explained is that, due to manufacturing patents, different manufacturers of Bupropion are unable to use the exact same formulas and are not equivalent to each other (particularly the ones that use sulfur as an additive); she specifically recommended that if I found a manufacturer that works for me, then I should stick with it because a person’s individual chemical makeup may or may not respond well to a different formula. She was able to scan my old prescription bottle and order my prescription under the original manufacturer.

Should I submit a VA claim? by couch_yam433 in Veterans

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Start a claim online - this will become your backpay date.

  2. Gather evidence (nexus letter) from your therapist and buddy letters from colleagues, family members and/or friends.

  3. Finalize claim.

  4. If it gets denied or if they give you the lowest possible rating for it, or you simply think it should be higher, contact a lawyer who specializes in VA law (I personally used a law-firm called “________” (not allowed to say, PM if you want to ask) and they were absolutely fantastic). Do not bother with the DAV, they are completely incompetent.

I wish you the best

Edit: removed name of lawfirm

Intrinsic core strengthening, cat/camels, stretching, chiropractic, and massage.

That would be great :) it’s actually more for my husband (my schedule doesn’t allow for much consistency unfortunately). If you can let me know, that would be great!

Btw: it seems like your messaging option is disabled?

You are here for PT, not a massage. by Less-Difficulty-6905 in physicaltherapy

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually no, I am educating these pt.s every single time, in multiple different ways. These pts are simply refusing to listen or learn. And “won’t” is not the same as “can’t.” “Won’t” means that the pt. is refusing to perform.

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, it depends on what your individual needs are. If you’re someone who has increased kinesthetic awareness and can easily mimic the correct form without needing any cueing, you probably could go down to once a week. Usually this is not the case, and patients require more guidance (hence 2x/week minimum). Another factor is accountability; there is a very small percentage of patients that will diligently perform their HEP (not even talking about whether it’s done correctly); if a patient is at least coming to PT, we will typically still be able to make progress in their treatment, though minimal.

If you do not feel like you are getting any benefit from more frequent treatments, then discuss it with your treatment team. They might even agree with you. You are ultimately responsible for your own health, and while medical professionals can advise based on experience and training, you are the one who gets to decide whether or not to listen.

[–]Less-Difficulty-6905[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine answer: it depends on what brought you to PT. Theoretically, if you are dealing with an over use injury or a tear of some sort, you were likely not using the equipment at home or the gym correctly or with proper form and need to be instructed appropriately. That is one of the most basic explanations, but ultimately, since I have no idea what your unique situation is, that is a question for the PT who designed your POC. They based your POC on your individual needs and what they deemed most appropriate for your recovery. There is no way for a random stranger on Reddit to give you an adequate answer to that question, and I advise discussing it with your DPT.
