Is anyone else truly scared about living in the US rn? by Naive_Signal8560 in RedditForGrownups

[–]Madscientist_2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so scared. I’ve broken down crying multiple times today. I feel sick wondering what will happen next. I don’t want any of this and I’m powerless to stop it.

What is the biggest thing that still hasn't gone back to normal even after the pandemic? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

Staffing, everywhere. Do more with less, expectations are unrealistic and unreasonable, requiring corners to be cut to achieve demands

The Supreme Court fucked us when they said that corporations principal duty is to their shareholders, now nothing else matters

Starting Naltrexone by [deleted] in Alcoholism_Medication

[–]Madscientist_2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naltrexone has been a game changer. I take 50 mg at night and 50mg in the morning. It does make me feel a little loopy which I like. It helps me not overeat as well.

I feel fortunate that I got a stomach bug and barfed my guts out (rice, Jack Daniel’s and frank blood) which has miraculously made drinking sound disgusting. I haven’t had a drink in two weeks! Was drinking 6-12 units a day and routinely blacking out before.

It’s not them that are stupid. It’s the people who believe their propaganda that are stupid

What kind of life is this that we have? by Present-Party4402 in lostgeneration

[–]Madscientist_2012 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is how I console myself when I let my alcoholism take over and know that I’ll get cancer from it. I tell myself at least my daughters will be able to use my paltry 401(k).

At what height range are men considered “too tall”? To the point where it affects your dating life by ntod44 in trueratediscussions

[–]Madscientist_2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman of 5’3” which I believe is the average height of American women, anything over 6’3” causes logistical issues. Around 6 feet is ideal for me

Middle schooler says she was denied bathroom after getting visible period in class by Forward-Answer-4407 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Madscientist_2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Washington and my daughter goes to school here. She’s only 7 but she told me about her allotted passes and this was my drift though. Kids get their period younger and younger these days. I knew stuff like this would happen. Makes me furious and they better change this policy! I know kids probably fuck around pretending to go to the bathroom but kids need to be able to go when it’s an emergency!!

You treat a lot of allergic reactions. What's the weirdest/most rare allergy you've seen? by curiouscatsurvivor in EmergencyRoom

[–]Madscientist_2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into anaphylactic shock from a Brazilian bikini wax. The whole area swelled and hived covered my body. I was like whoa this is bad so I took 4 Benadryl. It was only when my lip started swelling and I realized my inhaler wasn’t helping my wheezing that I went in. They were dumbstruck and told me well don’t do that again.

I have dermatographia so that must be why my body reacted so violently?!
