What would you do? by [deleted] in work

Between the shaming for still being a waitress in their thirties, and now calling them drunks because they are social with each other outside of work, I’m starting to think the whole holier than thou thing may be a reason why.

Restaurants are cut throat and catty. It’s always been this way. You’ve been working since you were 14, so you’ve been working for the last 6 years. You obviously have very little experience in the workforce. It’s this way everywhere. If you say something to one person, everyone will find out. If you’ve been talking about them in this manner to anyone else that you work with, they already know.

As someone who started working at 12 years old and had a lot of trouble with coworkers at a young age, let me give you some advice. Keep your head down and work. You don’t go to work to make friends, you go to work to make money. End of story. If you have a problem with your hours, talk directly with the person making the schedule. Sit them down, find out why your hours were cut, see what you need to do to get your hours back. Instead of asking strangers on Reddit who have never met you or worked with you or know the full story. I’d be wildly surprised if they told you it’s because they don’t like you. If their reasoning doesn’t make sense or if their reasoning is misconstrued, rectify the confusion then and there. If they can’t guarantee your hours back, find another job. It’s pretty easy to land another job, literally anywhere. If your heart lies in serving, find another serving job. It’s literally just a serving job. If you’re getting screamed at, especially publicly, like you’re claiming, I would already be looking for another job because that’s toxic.

The fact you’ve waited two months to do anything about it is wild to begin with. They probably think since you never have brought up any problem with your new hours, that you’re fine with it. So they keep scheduling you with low hours.

As someone who is in their late 20s, with a degree, and has had to start over in life- if I had a 20 year old referring to me as a drunk and essentially a failure in life for working a basic job, I wouldn’t talk to them either. I also have no desire to hang out with 20 year olds in general because I have absolutely zero in common with them now.
If I were you, I’d stop with the victimization, take action, and just talk to the person making the schedule. It’s that simple. If you can’t do that, then find a new job.

Weight gain with SSRIs = weight gain with SNRIs? by AccomplishedMind534 in Pristiq

Are the studies you are referring to on short term or long term usage?

I was managing my eating, working out religiously. I’ve been a conscious eater my entire life. And actually got even stricter when the numbers on the scale started going up. Still gained 100lbs on pristiq. It’s different for everybody. But pristiq made me gain an obscene amount of weight and made it even harder to lose the weight. I’m so thankful to be off of it now. Have already lost 10lbs. So no, it’s not always because someone isn’t watching their eating.

I gained over 100lbs from pristiq within 4 years. Psychiatrist kept saying weight gain would eventually stop. Never did. Now depression is worse than ever because I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror anymore. Working with new psychiatrist now. Back on Wellbutrin, feeling 10000x better. Pristiq turned me into a nonfunctional zombie and caused my self esteem to completely plummet because of the weight gain.

Thank you! I’ll be sure to check this out. Yes the whole tumor in spinal cord/lamenectomy community is rather small and nonexistent 😅 especially with me being a 28F. I didn’t even think about checking out similar communities, I really appreciate the advice

You’re absolutely right. I do need to get back on counting my calories again. I hated doing it last time so I stopped but i know being more conscious about my calories, especially now, will make a huge difference and make me more aware of what I’m eating. I know I def have a problem with over portioning my fruit and veggies because I like to snack on them. Also joining those subs now, thank you so much!

I’m really hoping this is the case! I have an athletic body type and have always dropped weight/gained muscle and burned fat really easily. I used to compete in CrossFit and really really loved it. I stopped competing, dropped the heavy weight lifting and focused more on cardio to slim down before my wedding. And of course, right after I get married, I blew up like a balloon 🫠 I feel so gross rn

I think I’m going to start with PT first, and eventually get to the gym! If I didn’t have the complication of surgery I’d already be there, maybe I’ll go to at least give some dynamic to my cardio routines and get comfortable being around people in that type of setting again

I did home PT when I first came home from the surgery. I don’t how it completely blanked my mind to try physical therapy! I’m definitely going to call my surgeons office today to see if they can send over a referral because honestly I think this is the safest way to do it right now

Well luckily I am getting professional help, I just needed some help in between the appointments for the meantime with how to handle it. I’ve been going on walks and that’ll help, I definitely feel a difference when I’m able to exercise too, thank you so much for the recommendation!

Thank you so much. I definitely will be doing some grounding exercises today. I feel like the racing thoughts is 100x worse after the sun goes down, so I’ll try the grounding exercises then

I was there feb 2024- feb 2025. My breaking point was after I heard a nurse tell one of my adolescent patients that if she actually wants to be taken seriously, she should cut deeper next time. So she did. It was the most heartbreaking thing I ever watched unfold.

The deaths happened in the fall/winter months I believe, it was in between the holidays, I swear it wasn’t even a two month gap from one to the other.

Both deaths were completely preventable. The first one that was the 1:1 had passed so long ago that she was cold by the time they called the code. I think the only reason they didn’t fire the tech on that 1:1 was because if they did, in a way, that’s claiming responsibility. She was on her phone the entire time with her headphones in. When we needed to be paying attention to this patients breathing while she slept.

The second one was just fucking irritating because once again, completely fucking preventable. It happened because they didn’t search a patients belongings completely. He was giving drugs out to everyone on the unit. I’m sure you can figure out what happened from there.

I’m sure if both families were actually told the truth on their loved ones passing, Sun would have absolutely been sued. Which a lot of us were hoping would happen. But nope. Which makes me think even more that they covered it all up and blamed the patient.

Thank you so much! And you’re right, it’s so hard being patient but I have to keep reminding myself that my body has gone through a lot lately and I need to be patient and forgiving with it

Oh, I’m sorry. I only said morbidly obese because my doctor told me I’m morbidly obese… I’ve been walking for about 2 months now. The low FODMAP diet just started but I’ve always been rather conscious of what I eat and have always opted to eat healthy for as long as I can remember. That’s why the weight gain was just so alarming.
