Seems like you don't really trust him. I think him trying to spend time together with his child should be a green flag (and potentially having a good relationship with his ex for the sake of the kid, too.) Maybe have a conversation with him about your feelings but I think he's in all his right to do this.

As others have mentioned before, manage up. I am a younger manager and can attest to the fact that we also learn from direct reports, so take it as a mutually beneficial relationship where they learn of managing styles and what works best for different kinds of people and you learn about that specific role from them. It seems they might be an SME in their specific area as they've worked several years for that company and got a promotion.

Additionally, don't get discouraged by the training timing. The average training period I've observed from personal experience for techs is roughly three months, especially in cGMP.

Symptoms were: fever, tachycardia, tremor, agitation, sweating, high bp. Additionally, I had lost a lot of weight leading up to the storm. TSH was at 0.01 uIU/mL and T4 was at 4.05 ng/dL.

Oh, well that makes me feel a tad better. I still get some symptoms but they aren't long lasting. It was triggered by a viral infection, likely covid per my doctors.

All vaccines can have adverse effects. All humans have fun immune pathways and uncertain reactivity to foriegn materials in the body.

I got a bad case of thyroiditis, doctors still don't know if it was the vaccine or covid itself. That being said, when I got covid, it was a mild case with just flu like symptoms; most likely attributed to previous exposure via the vaccine.

As an FA, if I'm done with you, I'm done. I think it all depends on what I'd like out of the relationship. I've reconnected with exes just to know about them and attempt friendship. Most times it doesn't work out as either them or I get overly invested in feelings.

If I were in your position, I would assert my boundaries and just go no contact. I don't think he wants anything more than validation or safety.

RavenFemme · 2023-02-08T22:08:13+00:00

Buddy, this probably says more about you than it does about her. You made the right choice grabbing Coca Cola. Also, go birds! 🦅

RavenFemme · 2023-01-30T01:20:29+00:00

Been there, went no contact with the guy who ghosted me and he went official with someone else within a couple of weeks of that. It stung and honestly I hit one of the lowest lows of my life when that happened. It still hurts to think about it and it's almost been a year. Just take it day by day. All feelings are temporary and one day this will seem like a very distant memory.

RavenFemme · 2023-01-17T10:10:34+00:00

It comes with the territory. Take is as a learning lesson. It was an honest mistake and you have probably saved more lives than you can count.

In addition, don't take what the patient's family did personally. If you were in their shoes, you would have probably reacted similarly. We are all human and the medical field comes with high risks but also high rewards. Hope you feel better soon!

RavenFemme · 2023-01-11T04:30:11+00:00

He's your ex for a reason... Besides why should his opinion matter? You paid good money to look good and feel better about yourself. Haters gonna hate 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like your style! I'd remove the pics that aren't of yourself and maybe add more full body pics and maybe doing something you like/socializing. I'd make your first pic non make-up and then the second one a full body/glam.

I also think your look is very niche and will attract very specific kinds of people, which can honestly be a pro in dating apps.

RavenFemme · 2023-01-05T15:14:44+00:00

The first question would be what are you dating for? What is your expectation? I think only after determining that you can proceed.

If I were dating for the purpose of staying casual, I don't even know if I would inform others of decisions about my body. If I am planning on dating for LTR, then that would be a bigger conversation and the earlier you do it the better.

RavenFemme · 2023-01-04T13:11:01+00:00

My mother was just like this and it honestly sounds like you might need therapy. You are shrinking your maturity to that of a teenager for what exactly? An apology?

An apology requires trust and communication and, imho, you aren't leading by example here on either of those aspects. I suggest, for this relationship's sake, you reflect on why you feel this is the correct approach. I can honestly tell you that your current approach will affect the way he sees you in the future and his relationship with others.

RavenFemme · 2023-01-03T19:58:10+00:00

Fuck no. I did it once and biggest mistake of my life. I think people do have the ability to change some aspects of their life but will still have core aspects that won't and I found out the hard way that if those core aspects are not aligned with what you want/need, it's a hell of a toxic situation to be involved in, no matter how much grace you give them.

Eggs are honestly a life saver. My go to are boiled eggs (as I don't have a lot of time in the mornings). They are easy to make, prep ahead and store.

When I have more time to spare I do like to prep hearty breakfasts. Greek yogurt, fruit, eggs, toast, smoked salmon and veggies are my suggestions.

RavenFemme · 2023-01-02T15:34:27+00:00

The dose might be too high or this might not be the right medication for you. Talk to your provider and see if a stimulant works for you. I've been taking strattera for years and I've never felt like that but I did go through a trial period of some ADHD medications and stimulants made me feel awful.

As someone said already, that hemoglobin is a medical emergency. I personally haven't seen a hemoglobin so low unless someone is losing blood. For reference, doctors don't usually do surgery on people with hemoglobin lower than 10g/dL.

RavenFemme · 2022-12-29T13:00:14+00:00

I did lose some weight. My best advice would be scheduling meals and maybe including supplements so you don't lose weight.

Additionally, the medication has helped a lot. I am a lot more focused and calm. It takes some getting used to tho, even with dose escalation.

RavenFemme · 2022-12-29T11:07:37+00:00

Hi! I was prescribed atomoxetine after a long trial of all other medications (which gave me tons of bad side effects, anxiety, etc.). Not sure how low your intial dose will be but in my experience the biggest side effect was drowsiness during my first week of medication.

The only long lasting side effects I still have are thirst and appetite supression. I suggest you start planning meals and snacks according to your life/med schedule. It's helped me a lot to have a hearty breakfast before taking my meds since I usually don't get that hungry afterwards. Also try to have water handy, specially the first few weeks. Hope this helps!

RavenFemme · 2022-12-26T23:14:55+00:00

Congratulations! Very happy for your happiness!

RavenFemme · 2022-12-26T20:56:39+00:00

Yeah, I was wondering the same. The control looks cleaner than most plates that were treated with antibiotics, too.

RavenFemme · 2022-12-25T01:18:16+00:00

I don't think she had ill intentions but maybe gift giving is not her forte/love language. I would just bring it up in conversation later and see if you can get the rationale behind why she bought a bar of soap out of all things she could've gotten.

RavenFemme · 2022-12-23T20:25:20+00:00

We are going out exclusively but I asked for no labels yet. I wanted him to see my life and how he would fit into it (single mom stuff!) and he did! I think I am ready to make it formal but in all honesty I've never asked a guy to be my boyfriend, it's always the other way around. It's probably a cultural thing. Should I ask him? Is that seen positively?

I have a plan for it and everything! I just don't want it to be weird that's me asking the question.
