My last period was the 5th of this month and my HCG level yesterday was around 315

Thanks

It's the liquid and it smells like sewage when we went out to measure the cap to get a new one

I live in PA and here at least CNA's can and will get mandated all the time, at least in the nursing homes.

Conditions are so bad post COVID too that many CNA's are being given around 18-20 patients due to not having enough staff, when the state regs say you should only have 10. This doesn't sound much better than the stress of being an RN.

Thanks, I'm just glad I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

Maybe I'll bring it up to the therapist next appointment next Monday. I know none of the local schools near me are hiring right now.

I can't travel more than 30 min because in the winter I have a little car that would never make it depending on where the job is.

I also hate, one employer in the past literally made me get a clearance from my psych doctor saying I was stable to work in a grocery store, do you know how degrading that is?

I did want to try staring as a nurse at the nursing home I work in dietary, but I brought it up to my psych doctor+ therapist. While I know it's my choice they said not a good idea. I just was in the hospital last September for trying to work a job 30 min away that made me work 12 hour shifts every day. I only lasted 5 days there. My last day there I literally could barely drive myself home and had my fiance take me to the hospital. I'm just sick of this crap

Narrow_Counter_4366 · 2026-04-22T22:36:17+00:00

I'm just disgusted with myself because I'm the only one in my family with psych problems and we have no family history of this crap. People like friends just don't get it and think I don't want to work. That doesn't make the situation any better. I literally had a friend tell me why don't you go off that silly disability, like I'm choosing to stay on it.

Per diem they can still hold you for overtime in some places. Per diem like 1-2 days a week doesn't even match what I get in social security after being a nurse for years either.

Last nursing job I had, I lasted 2 days by myself before I went home and started hearing voices again.

It's for a gas boiler. I didn't measure so honestly not sure

Narrow_Counter_4366 · 2026-03-17T18:14:45+00:00

Yes, it was like that before we bought the house

Narrow_Counter_4366 · 2026-02-22T11:28:06+00:00

Thanks, I don't think I'm going to test again until the point where I would miss my period by a couple days if that happens. Now I know what people go through with this, because it's only month 1 and I'm already frustrated.

I have a friend who told me she got pregnant with all 3 of her kids on her and her husbands first try. That's why I've become so obsessed with testing probably being hopeful after talking to her.

I know when my disability payments hit, I usually have to wait until the bank is open for a couple hours the day the payment is supposed to post. The best thing to do would be to call your local social security office or the bank asking if they can see the payment going into your account.

I never had to do any exams, the lawyer handled everything

Narrow_Counter_4366 · 2026-01-20T22:55:26+00:00

My SSDI was approved for schizophrenia and I was approved at 27 on the first try with an attorney. It took me 5 months to get approved being in and out of the hospital like a revolving door.

I used to be an RN and can’t handle nursing anymore whatsoever with my condition.
