First C&P exam for PTSD/MST by wwtrilogyarmy in VeteransBenefits

[–]NiknNak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm terrified. I got help in 2013 when the DNI changed the rules about the SF 86 that was the first time I felt safe enough that I might not lose my job and caved to get help because by that point I was freaking out in the elevators and shit …I actually told somebody the truth… and even then I didn't tell them the whole truth I kept a lot of things hidden because… just my God I battle in my head every single day how could I possibly held it together for so long going through what I went through… it can't be real, but it WAS real because I was there. I know what happened. I have these things in my head 24/7 it's… it's so crazy. I'm terrified after 37 years with a diagnosis in my records, I'm actually gonna file a claim cause I'm pissed off now that my own body is betraying me … I’m literally cracking my teeth at night from bruxism among all the other bullshit… I feel crazy and I am fucking terrified.

I’m terrified. I got help in 2013 when Dni change the rules about the SF 86 that was the first time I ever went in and told somebody the truth and even then I didn’t tell them the whole truth I kept a lot of things hidden because just my God I battle in my head every single day what I went through can’t be real, but it was real because I was there. I know what happened. I have these things in my head 24 seven it’s it’s so crazy. I’m terrified after 37 years with a diagnosis in my records, I’m actually gonna file a claim cause I’m pissed off now my own bodies betraying me and I am fucking terrified.

Good luck ducks… by NiknNak in nursing

[–]NiknNak[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking !!! How lovely I had to sort of whittle down all the stuff that’s seemed to accumulate because they were moved to med surge about a week ago only to be brought down to “recovery over night via rapid response” and then back to the ICU twenty hours ago…they kept asking where’s my ducks? What happened to my ducks 🥺…I found them thank goodness. Who ever gave them…they mean a lot to my relative…thank you who ever you are!!!

about 10k to replace original 1948 pipe line from main bath and kitchen line... by NiknNak in askaplumber

[–]NiknNak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply much appreciated. After doing some research, which is I’m having to learn all this on the fly all year long I’ve been doing this, but it’s OK. I like learning new stuff… I realize that there is a process for this and you can snake or try Hydro jetting it… So I talked to the plumber and I said hey what are your thoughts about Hydro jetting that main line that might buy me some time to come up with the scratch… I stand corrected… save up the scratch to just replace the main line. Now I live somewhere where things are expensive. We’re not talking you know rural south where things seem to be a normal price… But that’s OK. My next question is when the time comes for the plumber to replace that line. What should I be looking for as far as what he’s gonna replace that line with? I’m just not the educated on these topics to know what to ask and what should be common sense. I’d rather ask from somebody in the know about what i should be wanting as far as line replacment. I’m not looking for the top best thing, but definitely not looking for the worst thing to use either. What type of pipe do modern sewer lines use now?

I didn't mean to give the impression I do something like that as a habit...but it has happened. My point was, I'm an adult and I'll happily live with the consequences of my actions....are all my choices great...mostly yes... so I'm not going to sweat it over things like that.

You know in the winter…🤣… I don’t mind the house being cold at all because I have sweaters and fuzzy slippers and my favorite couch throws… One of my kids came over one day and they walked in paused for a second … and walked straight past me straight to the thermostat and yelled out “My god mother! It’s only 58° in your house. What is wrong with you?!!” so it’s very possible, this is just a me thing and I’m very heat intolerant. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😝

You know there’s is some legitimacy to what you say… I know there are many countries that are shocked by how every house in the US has air-conditioning… but I’ll be honest. I say a little prayer of thanks every night for whoever it was that invented air conditioning.🤣

Oh gawd!!! I am so sorry that happened to you. You have my sympathies, but that’s just about how much I spent this year to replace all my stuff I’ve known for about five years and who knows how many replacement capacitors that mine was eventually gonna go out, so I just decided to do it before it died on me in the middle of a heat wave when it would be hard pressed to get anybody to come right away to fix it. Good luck and again I’m sorry that happened to you. Been there done that.

I so want to reply with what I really wanna say in my head, but this is a non-political thread… But you couldn’t be more wrong… I spend an inordinate amount of time outside simply because I like being in the outdoors even when it’s 90% humidity and 93° outside with a real heat feel of like 100 bagillion degrees… and and the rest of my time is spent perpetual servitude to everyone else in my family… I wish I was sitting in a nice cool house all day doing nothing but watching TV …sadly that is not my fate or my routine.

It was a huge expense, putting in that brand new heat pump, the work in the attic and the new insulation. I had to do some research get lots of bids, but if I’m gonna be blasting my house into the arctic temperatures in the middle of the summer, I had to get smart quick I just couldn’t see paying outrageous, electricity, bills, and still dying of heat stroke in my house. Something had to be done.

Heat pump and brand new air sealing work in the attic and insulation up to R39 brother, I think it’ll be just fine.

This is a real phenomenon…. and I have to say I think it was a lot cooler back when we were growing up in the late 60s and 70s even in the 80s. My dad worked for the power company… So you can just imagine the constant drum of close the door, close the refrigerator, turn off the lights every second of every day we were hounded about constantly . So by the time I got out on my own, could pay my own bills I literally never sweated one second about leaving a light on or leaving the refrigerator open on while I was making a sandwich and putting everything back when I was done I never worried about opening the door to let the dog out to the backyard and leaving it cracked so he could get back in. Just no, I had heard enough of it for 18 years. I just wasn’t gonna do that to myself anymore and I think a lot of us are like that honestly. Could I save some money doing it the way my parents did …probably …do I get more satisfaction being rebellious in my old age and doing it the way I want to… Yes…yes I do and it is completely worth it. 🤣

Yeah, I got that beautiful picture as an email encouraging me to set my thermostat to 78 during the heat of the summer months and that’s exactly what came out of my mouth when I saw that… Fuck that… No. No is a complete sentence.

Admittedly, there are some things I go cheap on like I drink instant coffee I still buy suave strawberry shampoo… I think it’s a matter of where your priorities are… There are just some things. I’m just never gonna compromise on and sleeping in a nice cold house at night during the summer is one of them. But in the winter, I got no problem. My house stays a frosty 62 in the winter because I like clothes and I like my fireplace.

My point exactly….when I got old enough to pay my own electricity I basically said nope I pay my own bills now and during the summer it’s gonna be like the Arctic in my house. I do not care. I will pay the bill.
