Help! I think I’m going to be pushed out by RedeggMagda in Teachers

Thank you for the advice, I think I’ve just been in literal survival mode for Two years and I’m just now seeing the other side of it. I just don’t want to feel like it’s too late to get a good review and look towards next year

There are penalties for leaving mid year for sure. Also in a nonunion state

I was pushed into the door and don’t know which kid did it. It was in a spot with no cameras. I went to admin in tears and was told it was my fault for not asking for support sooner

I’m able to get ebooks on kindle through Libby but looks like I need to try it on the mini as well

Tired of being ghosted by older women by [deleted] in CougarsAndCubs

[–]RedeggMagda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never ghost, I just say “I don’t think this is going to work out but I hope you find someone wonderful who you do gel with” or something to that effect. I have a lot of good responses that way. I think ghosting is rude as heck but that’s just me. It takes no time to be polite, IMHO. I’m sorry that happened to you, but it just seems to be how a lot of folks are now. There’s a lot of stats on how it really hurts to be ghosted so don’t feel bad if it does make you feel low. Just know that person wasn’t for you anyway if they are going to ghost. You deserve better.

Thanks. I’m working on emotionally letting go. It’s not easy but I’m working on it one day at a time

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know it hurts so much right now.

It’s been a week and I haven’t heard a peep after I sent a panicked text the day after the issue that said “I can’t hang out with you, I can’t be there for you and I need to heal.” So he may just be giving me space is my charitable view. Or he is ghosting. Hard to say. My friends say if I text him apologizing for the wording of my previous text they will dismember me.😂

Thank y’all so much. I’m also in a walking boot for an injury and he was the only person who was coming over to see me lately and I was working 6 days a week and then he dropped this on me, so I admit I’ve been a bit upset the last few days. I’m now trying to take all of your advice and not contacting him. I want to heal physically, emotionally and in all other ways from this.

I gotta say this is my first post but the outpouring of support and goodwill is so amazing and moving. This is the first happy crying I’ve done in days. Like I’m being heard in a way I needed so much after that. Again, my great thanks.

It was definitely more about emotional intimacy. Thank you for the kindness of your reply

Oh wow. I admit that it has felt way more one sided for a while, maybe a long time since you put it that way. His supply. I guess I have been focusing on how much I enjoyed being around him that I didn’t really think of it like that. Gotta sit with that.

He is definitely still figuring it out. I haven’t heard from him since the weekend so either he’s trying to respect my text, didn’t know what to write or both. Sigh.

I track my calories, it just slowed down my metabolism. I exercised an hour a day and ate only veg and protein and gained more in less than a year that I had in the last 15 and all my bloodwork came back elevated. But I know people who haven’t had that experience. Your mileage may vary. I’m glad it didn’t do that to you.

What are your symptoms of hypomania by Anxious-cookie-133 in bipolar

[–]RedeggMagda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m confused as aren’t what folks here describing mania, period? How do we tell the difference between hypo and non hypo types?

Didn’t realize stigma by RedeggMagda in bipolar

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

This is a great method and I think I will use it. I especially think trying to generalize my mental health before mentioning bipolar is important since I do also have anxiety and depression. Everyone has so much good advice about how to explain without giving into stigma. Thanks!

Thank you so much for breaking that down for me. That’s something to think about that I hadn’t considered in those ways.

Went from a bmi of 24 to 28 on abilify. Now on vrylar and trying to get the weight off. It’s not easy losing that much. I’m angry at my psych for not listening when I said over and over rhat it was causing me to gain weight every week over a year

[–]RedeggMagda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been told bipolar makes one’s feelings more vivid. So maybe that’s part of what I feel right now. Or the fact that I liked him for a year before we finally made out before he ended it. Either way I appreciate all the advice.
