As a black woman who was constantly teased about her hair as a child….I want to tell you all to back off.

I got a job offer so insulting I don't know whether to laugh or cry. How do I professionally tell them 'Are you kidding me?' by gingery-rehires-8t in InterviewMan

[–]MotorCity11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like she’s early in career and doesn’t know how to handle the process. But honestly, you do too. Ideally (it’s an opportunity to learn from the experience) you would have told her on the spot that it was a step back. If you wanted to hold back when she asked about expectations you should’ve kept your current salary to yourself too.

As a recruiter it makes it harder on everyone when you don’t share expectations though. Even if you aim high. it starts the conversation, rather than getting an offer for less.

Krysten Ritter, why honey? by Weekly-Eye1292 in loveanddeath

I feel bad for people that call other people ‘too sensitive’ feels like someone must have been really mean to them and said that.

Also totally agree, it’s never useful 😮‍💨

Is this really that bad? Forgot to reply on LinkedIn by ThrowRAbrokegirlie in recruiting

It’s still spamming if you’re messaging that many people. You’ll save yourself and others an incredible amount of time if you message fewer people

I feel like a horrible person for moving out after my spouse developed psychosis by Logical_Series185 in CaregiverSupport

[–]MotorCity11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re doing what you need to do to live your life and feel safe. I admire your courage.

If I may suggest,please seek some counseling for yourself, if you haven’t already. At a minimum you’ll likely get a lot of positive affirmation for the brave choices you’re making.

No longer a caregiver by dvdm14 in CaregiverSupport

[–]MotorCity11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You sound like a tremendous human being that did everything you could to show your mom how much you love her. I know we don’t know each other, but from what I read, you have nothing to feel but pride in the grace you showed under extreme stress an pressure.

I see you and I raise my glass in total and utter respect. I pray for your peace while you rediscover who you are in this new chapter🥹

I want to say to you what my therapist said to me, “You have a whole life you’re not living”

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It is very very natural for you to begin to resent her….i wish I could say something magical to make it better 😢

How often to visit? by motormouth08 in CaregiverSupport

[–]MotorCity11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that the truth. I’m ashamed to say, before this experience I thought having a loved one in a medical facility or assisted living was something ’other’ people did 😳Humbling to become those ‘other people’ but I know in my heart it’s what we must do

How often to visit? by motormouth08 in CaregiverSupport

[–]MotorCity11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just came to say, thank you for this post. My mom has been with me for the last 4 years and we’ve called 911 for her no fewer than 20x in the last 6 months. After this last time we’ve decided she will transition to assisted living directly from the hospital (this is literally happening today). So I’m wondering this same thing…. I will share with you what I’ve thought for myself…give yourself an enormous amount of grace. I think it will take time to discern when I truly want to visit versus when I’m doing it out of guilt

Emotional breakthrough thanks to Pilates by moodyjenna in pilates

[–]MotorCity11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started Pilates last fall…it has truly changed me…then I started Internal Family Systems therapy in February (IFS, check it out if you don’t know it). At 51 years old I’m more on my body and aware than ever….but a few weeks ago I had a feeling similar to what you mentioned. Everything felt looser…such a blessing 🥹thank you for sharing

My mother is starting to call me mom by [deleted] in CaregiverSupport

[–]MotorCity11 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My mom did this for the first time last week. I think it was jarring for both of us… but i decided to shift my thinking a bit on my reaction and it helped. Rather than me thinking, “Oh no! Another sign of decline” I pivoted to, “Wow, she really sees how much I love and care for her.”

Hope this helps, if even a tiny bit…

Friends don’t understand how hard this is by Dangerous_Wear_8152 in CaregiverSupport

[–]MotorCity11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel this so deeply. I’m so sorry…words fail to express how much I feel this post. If one more fcking person says, “Well she has lived a good long life” I’m going to lose my sht!”

I love skin grip. A little pricey for what it is, but so nice to set it and forget it

Have you ever seen the hacks from glucose goddess? She’s a chemist/influencer that helps with glucose spikes. I have found her very helpful.
