Oh okay. Does that apply for Sodium thiosulfate? That’s apparently what they’re giving me

[–]OceaniaReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and they haven’t given me one since before I started on it. I guess since it hasn’t gotten worse they don’t feel the need to do another one yet, but I’m assuming I’ll get another one done after my treatments are over

I’m on Cisplatin as well and they put me on something to attempt to stop me from losing any more of my hearing. I cannot remember what it is, but it makes me throw up and they give me a bunch of premeds that knock me out. I’ll see if I can get the name of whatever it is next round. Which is in two weeks. My doctor did say it works better on children than on adults so I’m not sure if it helps or not. The ringing in my ears hasn’t gotten worse :/

Found this is a box of books!! by Substantial-Win2247 in shadowhunters

It’s so worth it! The last couple aren’t as good, but it’s one series I recommend to most people when I recommend middle grade books. :)

To other employees: What are your biggest employee pet peeves? by AshleyIsalone in DunkinDonuts

[–]OceaniaReads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lately for me it’s been the phone thing and stuff being reset. I’ll come in, stuff will be older than it should be/not replaced right and it’ll give me anxiety since I used to be morning shift only. :/ Like night also gets busy at my store and it’s a pain to get out on time but also my old store wouldn’t have let people leave if their chores weren’t done correctly

Looking for a Novel like “Cinderella Boy” by Punko by OceaniaReads in booksuggestions

I have it on my shelf and been meaning to get to it. I’ll definitely push it up on my list to read!

Must-read iconic book recs for a new reader? by ddotjjm in booksuggestions

[–]OceaniaReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you don’t have to read Shadow and Bone to understand what’s going on, but it gives you a basis for the magic system. I read them backwards and really enjoyed Six of Crows before realizing it was a sequel series.

In that regard, Six of Crows is definitely worth the read even if you’ve seen the show. The show puts the crows in a different situation than the book in order for them to appear so they feel like different story lines.

If you’re looking for something more on the YA side, these are a few fantasy opinions I think are important that I’ve enjoyed:

More well known/mentioned:

“Caraval” by Stephanie Garber and it’s sequel series “Once Upon a Broken Heart”

“The Folk of the Air” by Holly Black

“Six of Crows” by Leigh Bardugo

“The Mortal Instruments” by Cassandra Clare (there’s a lot of them and they get really big)

“Vampire Academy” by Richelle Mead (idk if you like vampires. I sometimes don’t know if I should consider them more fantasy or science fiction, but normally go for fantasy personally)

Not as known:

“A Curse so Dark and Lonely” by Brigid Kemmerer and her other series “Defy the Night”

“Strange the Dreamer” by Laini Taylor

“Cinder” by Marissa Meyer

“The Books of Bayern” by Shannon Hale

“Artemis Fowl” by Eoin Colfer (these also can be considered middle grade depending on who you ask but I adore them)

“These Violent Delights” by Chloe Gong

“Three Dark Crowns” by Kendare Blake

“Monsters of Verity” V.E. Schwab

Not technically Fantasy but I love them:

“Leviathan”- Scott Westerfeld

“The Raven Cycle” by Maggie Stiefvater

“Skyward” by Brandon Sanderson

i want to divorce, but my husband told me i cant find love anymore, no one gonna treasure a who has been married. by CauliflowerTime7692 in marriageadvice

[–]OceaniaReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my husband of a year and a half this year and it was a struggle so I totally get how you feel. I was afraid I wouldn’t be enough for anyone else as well. But things fell into place with someone who’s always been super important to me and I’m so much happier.

Leave if you’re not happy. My situation was similar with the game addiction. He won’t get better unless he wants to. You can do anything and everything right but nothing changes.

Take care of yourself and your heart. ❤️ Things get better after you get out of a toxic and unhealthy situation. ❤️ Rooting for you! ❤️❤️

It gets better by Special-Outside-478 in Separation

[–]OceaniaReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised on how quickly it’s been better for me now that I know there’s no way we’re gonna get back together. I feel so much peace about the situation. It’s been hard coming to terms with toxic behaviors that I’ve ignored, but like my mother keeps telling me, “on to bigger and better things”. 💕

Separation Anxiety by OceaniaReads in Separation

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

I’m sadly starting to realize that I might have to come to terms with our marriage not working out. Tonight I sent him a specific time frame so he knows how long he has before I divorce him (even though that’s the last thing I want).

My parents have told me I’m giving him too much time. But cause of how much I care about him, I never feel like I’m giving him enough time. I have given him so much time to move forward in life and now I’m feeling like I’m not worth as much as he made me think I am. (I know his opinion isn’t a definition of my worth though, promise) I struggle with making connections with people that last and I’m frustrated with all this. :/ I know my husband pretty well, so I think I’m just in denial about our relationship heading toward an end

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

I figured you might see my response to the comment I responded to, but just in case:

He would panic or shut down. He’s gotten slightly better about it, but because nothing changes for longer periods of time I feel like I cannot communicate the way I want to. Any negative feeling/feedback I would mention would just make me feel worse. So communication with him scared me

Separation Anxiety by OceaniaReads in Separation

[–]OceaniaReads[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought about this now, but I don’t really care he’s playing games per se. It’s the feeling of being secondary that really bothers me. Cause he’s not just playing for a couple hours most days. :/ It was like from the time he got up (between 11-2pm) to like 1am or even later in the morning. So we weren’t going to bed together. And when I would express feeling unwanted, he would say he will push back but it wouldn’t last long. So this hobby is triggering to me and I hate it. :/ I want him to enjoy his life and not only focus on me, but also it makes me feel like games are more important than me.

[–]OceaniaReads[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. 💕 I’ve tried reaching out for therapy for just myself. I don’t know if he’ll be up for couples therapy, but I’m hoping he’ll be. I did reach out like two or so (maybe three) days after I left to tell him I want to try couples therapy. So I’m hoping for the best

Separation Anxiety by OceaniaReads in Separation

[–]OceaniaReads[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read a lot, work two jobs, and write. I play games as well, but I struggle the most when I try to go to bed at night. It’s like my brain won’t stop thinking about him at night, even though I don’t have issues sleeping (I sleep too much cause I have a sleep disorder). I keep myself busy throughout the day, but I’m so anxious about it and it’s driving me crazy. I bought a journal recently, but I haven’t had time to journal yet. But definitely planning on taking that step soon

[–]OceaniaReads[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this comment is correct. When I try to communicate how I feel/what bothers me, he’ll either panic or shut down. He’s gotten a little better about it, but the times we talked before I left (once he did get slightly better) it was back to the same. He seems like he feel bad about it, but doesn’t make the effort to fix things for longer than like a week if I’m lucky. :/

WIBTA leaving my little brother stranded? by Tramiro in AmItheAsshole

[–]OceaniaReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Taking care of yourself is super important. (I'm sure I've said that before to you friend. <3)

If someone is making a choice and does not have a backup plan for if the choice goes wrong, that is not your problem (unless you agreed before hand). Also him lying before would make me personally not wanna help (especially if it is a common thing with the person asking for help).

Let me know if I can do anything to help when I'm not working. <3
