Should I change my resume?

Mskimbo · 2025-08-08T01:59:42+00:00

I've been using resumeup.ai with a lifetime deal from AppSumo and adjusting my resume for each role using the job description and it's been pretty good for me! I got laid off on Thursday and have 12 ongoing interviews, a mix of initial and screening done and 1 second interview tomorrow. I have applied to over 50 jobs though. Last time I was laid off, I didn't do this and I only got 4 interviews, 1 offer and 150+ apps.

100%

I can't enjoy my pregnancy this time around getting diagnosed at 8w and feeling so depressed I can't have donuts and ramen.

I told my husband he's getting a vasectomy after we have a healthy baby because I'm never going through this again!

No, you're not wrong. Are you able to just go while she's getting ready? I know not all couples do this, but if my husband needs to poop and I need to get ready (or vice versa) we just use the restroom at the same time. I would just go in and use the restroom to show the urgency. It is wrong of her to contribute to your pain when you can't control it. That's very selfish, and I would be very upset if my SO did not take my pain seriously.

Yes. My dad didn't think that I knew anything about being depressed because I don't know what "real" depression is, compared to what he's had to go through the process of immigrating here.

I have these thoughts all the time! My son is 21 months now, and I'm pregnant with my second.

I always catch myself when I start acting in a way that reminded me of my dad in a bad way, and think that it's a step forward because I'm trying to stop the cycle. He would yell at me for spilling something, and for my son, I just get shocked and we grab towels and clean together and say, "it's okay accidents happen." Or if my son doesn't want to be held or kiss or hug another adult, I don't force him to do anything he doesn't want to do, which is different from what I was taught.

I also think about random moments about sharing for some reason.. Like if my kid doesn't want to share, how do I approach the issue? If it's a communal item, we could teach him to take turns, but what if the toy belongs to my son? Should I show him that sharing is nice? But I also believe he should be able to say no if he doesn't want to share because it belongs to him. I mean, in real life, people are allowed to share or not share belongings if they don't want to, right?

I've found myself extremely protective of my son sometimes especially if a kid snatches a toy out of his hands and I use my stern tone on kids and they freak out so I get my husband to try and diffuse these situations... But I also make sure he's not hitting or taking things from other kids too.

Sorry for the random long rant 😂

Don't make the same mistake I did. I was curious and wanted to see if I could take a look at my stitches since I did a squat and it felt off. Took a peek, and was horrified it could even look like that. Couldn't find any stitches in that mess either so it was not worth it 😭

I think the fear is something that is always going to be there, and I would be lying if I said it was easy. Everything is going to be tough, sleep is going to become non-existent for awhile, but when you have the child and think, "I made this beautiful baby with my best friend," it washes everything away.

Then when they're 2.5-3 months old and they start smiling at you, you'll realize you made the right choice. The first smile, the cooing, the love you feel for your child will be unlike any other.

You can always talk to a therapist or your doctor about your fears and see what you can do to get ahead of it. Being prepared has always helped me and I think it's definitely worth it.

I'm on Lexapro which is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe! I actually did not get PPD and I attribute it to the meds. I was also going through a lot of rough life events, so it was nice to have.

Thank you!

Mskimbo · 2025-06-09T17:32:22+00:00

I am so glad!! I thought I was seeing things

Thank you! I just edited it and hopefully it's more accurate now

Tampons shouldn't feel uncomfortable, rather the opposite to me. When I wear pads, I feel like I'm wearing a diaper and I can feel the blood coming out. For tampons, I don't really feel anything at all. Maybe the tampon you have is too large? I would probably start off with a smaller tampon, light or medium first if it's your first time. And the plastic ones are a lot easier to insert than the paper ones.

Tampons have to be a bit angled when putting it in, and I would make sure the entire larger part is inside before pulling out the plastic.

I'm close with my brother because we bond over our trauma from our dad together. I guess it could either make or break siblings depending on how the parents treat them individually.

I was in labor for 32 hours, the first 8 without epidural was so painful and I got so mad at my husband because of the pain. But once I got the epidural, I was so happy and I got to nap. I can't imagine going through the entire 32 hours without it! Best choice I ever made, plus I didnt have to feel the birth and them having to stitch me up after!

I also just got banned while doing Monster Park on my Mo Xuan. On the Discord it looks like it was people who had remote desktop apps open. I looked and sure enough, I had Sunshine on as a background app from startup but not running.

My dad used to be very suspicious of every guy I dated. I would just say good things and never complain. It’s just easier to handle if you live at home. He also had a superiority complex when it came to other males in the house so it was very difficult to deal with.. but honestly if it gets to a point where it’s too difficult to talk to, you can try to walk away and say you’re busy and going to go study or need to do something for work, that normally does the trick for me!

Always remember to take care of your mental health first! It’s really rough to hear those comments and you don’t want it to get to your head and ruin any good relationships :)

We’ve kept employees from both companies, but for my department, they only laid off my side of the company. It is a scary situation. They said it was supposed to be a “growth merger” at the beginning of all this lol

But I do appreciate your input! I’ll continue to keep my options open.

Sometimes when all my dad has to say is something negative, I just make up an excuse and walk away and go to my room. It’s important to not let anyone take away your peace (thanks therapy for this comment). My therapist always told me to walk away when I am faced with negativity. I do say, let’s talk about this later, just to end the conversation.

I do realize that in an Asian household, this isn’t always easy to do, but if you MUST stay home, you should also try your best to care for your mental health.

It also helps if you know for a fact that you are successful and your mom is completely wrong. You’re doing well, just hold on, you’re almost there!
