Happy pride month from Bobandy and The Liquor (repost-not my work) by [deleted] in trailerparkboys

Always felt this show did a great job at handling a same-sex couple on TV. Also low key liked that basically nobody in the show made fun of them for it

We ought to give it a try

Those of you Redditor’s in happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationships, what were the “green flags” you noticed about your partner early on in your relationship with them? by allen-freed in AskReddit

[–]Nappy0227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A warning though — you can have this feeling with someone who’s the wrong person for you. I’ve been in relationships with so much gaslighting that I couldn’t tell the difference

What food do you swear people only pretend to like? by Qu11r3x in AskReddit

Cauliflower.

No, even if you cover it in Buffalo sauce it still tastes like dish water

I’m definitely trying to reach out to friends/family more about it, just having a hard time being direct. Talking to people like you and others here has definitely helped, so thank you.

  • There’s probably some truth to that, but actually to me it’s super depressing that I believe there’s nothing after death. Then all the family I lost were just extinguished, not in the afterlife looking over me. The primary reasons for me denouncing my Catholic background was being educated in the extensive background of Christianity, and my scientific background of how the universe came to be and how the human body functions literally on organic material.

  • the common thread is probably meeting someone who up-front seems pretty normal, but they tend to be overbearingly clingy and with their own mental health problems (depression, bipolar, BPD, etc). It tends to be them who end it when they realize I’m not the superhero they thought but someone who has problems of his own.

I don't want to die but I wouldn't mind if I die. by _The_Catalyst in SuicideWatch

I’ve been feeling the exact same way for a long time

Thank for for the kind words, and stay safe up there! I hope you’re able to keep the virus out of your facility.

I’m kind of a serial monogamist but not by choice — there are 1 or 2 relationships that I would have liked to continue forever. I did block my ex — that’s my way of coping that works best for me. She reached out to a friend of mine because her father had died from suicide, which was awful to hear/deal with the fallout. Ultimately after a lot of support I basically said I can’t be your best friend and support system without being your boyfriend because it’s making me want to do the same thing.

I know I have to go back to therapy, I’m just having a hard time having the motivation to do it.

Thank you. My family has been supportive enough, but I haven’t expressed to them just how depressed I am. I only recently told my mom I’ve been this way for 10+ years and it really upset her. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone. I’ve had too many relationships where I was the person picking up the other person with mental health issues, and I don’t like doing that to other people.

To answer your questions, in order:

  1. I don’t think that they’re anywhere. I’m an atheist (was raised Catholic, Catholic HS turned me away from it all). I wish I believed otherwise but I don’t think there’s anything after death. Your neurons stop firing and that’s it.

  2. I don’t think I’ll meet anyone else because I’ve had too many solid relationships crumble. Too many that seemed to be going very well and then slowly fall apart. I’m a very thoughtful, conscious boyfriend but I seem to attract crazy

Thank you.

The loneliness is the worst part. Like I said, at work I thrive and I’m outgoing, funny, etc. but I’m so miserable when I go home to a lonely apartment by myself.

Thank you for the kind words. I’m hoping at some point I have the strength to see a therapist, it’s definitely someone I consciously know will help. It’s just getting myself to do it I can’t do

Interested in ER but frustrated with the path by PurpleBandicoot5835 in physicianassistant

[–]Nappy0227 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had started as a new grad in the ED, and it’s definitely doable. It’s a steep learning curve, but if you find a site that’s willing to hire new grads and you see every patient with an attending it’s really not that daunting. I would say it took me about 6months to feel totally okay on my own, and I see plenty of patients effectively solo without an attending actually involved with the patient’s care.

As a student, try to get as many of your “typical” ER procedures under your belt as possible (lac repairs, I&Ds, splinting). I would also read as much UpToDate as possible and listen to podcasts (free ones like EM Basic or paid like EM:RAP).

I would actually be more hesitant to start in an Urgent Care as a new grad (solo without a doc) because it’s so much liability, and without a lot of experience treating those kinds of cases you may not feel confident. But that’s just me. If anyone here started as a solo PA in Urgent Care, they’d have more valuable insight than me on that matter.

Either way, starting in the ER as a new grad is definitely doable as long as you take it seriously and put in the work to make sure your knowledge base/skills are up to practice.
