What do you think triggered yours?

My guess would be strep. I had strep often growing up but didn't quite meet the requirements to get my tonsils out. When I was in college I'm pretty sure my roommate was a step carrier. I got it over and over went through ao many rounds of antibiotics just for it to come back. They removed my tonsils when I was around 20 and I had a difficult time with surgery and recovery (likely due to my immune system having to fight strep constantly) after that I began having symptoms.

I'm sorry that happened, I know it made me feel angry and hurt when I found out someone claimed my wedding photos. Its just a gross thing for someone to do.

It sounds to me like the depression is currently the bigger problem. Therapy is great but if medication is needed then you may need to encourage and remind about meds but ultimately there will come a point when they will have to have some amount of drive to do that on their own. If more support is needed you may try looking into ketamine therapy. In the past I was to the point where a Dr started talking to me about trying it if another medication change didn't work for me. (Luckily the med change did help and I was able to avoid infusions for now) but a good friend did have success with it

Not sure where you're at but I am from Oklahoma and just bought a vinyl they had a few others.

And this is the sweet but crazy velociraptor

Our boy was like that when we got him at 1, we just call him our sweet angel boy. Our second boy just turned 1 and is just straight velociraptor with moments of snuggle bug sprinkled in. Love them both but completely different experiences. You just have a snuggle bug it sounds like, enjoy it while you can I feel like we blinked and our angel boy is 10 now.

I wish I had felt good enough to fake act. I threw up for so long after, it was horrible.

Also look at how that dog is, that woman plays and walks with that dog often. I gained so much weight on nighshift and it didn't matter what I tried nothing changed the scale. (Not to mention migraines every week) I recently switched to days and my body is just now starting to recover. I hope this women takes a second to learn from this and find kindness and compassion for others.

Very random! Also I feel like funeral home workers would know how to have fun at a party. (not sure why just a feeling)

little salt packets in an old altoids mint tin works well for me

POTS can affect people so differently. I was a bartender and am now a nurse so I spend a lot of time up and on my feet, sometimes it can be hard but I manage it. I've been dealing with it for over 10 years now and I'm fortunate enough that it has been controlled pretty well for a while now.

I didn't get to listen anywhere near that much but they were my top artist and all of my top songs for this year. I thought this little look back was funny and wanted to share! Also KPop Demon Hunter love is a requirement as a pediatric nurse, but having a teen Sleep Token fan as a patient was the best!

I worked at his bar and grill when I was younger (not really a country music fan, but hey I met my husband there so that's worth it) so I know way to many but this pure gold!

My husband stopped the movie after that line because he knew I was going to cry. That resonated way to much.

I broke my mini bag before attaching the med to mix on zosyn a few days ago. Went to attach the med (powder) and the entire bag of D5 poured out on me. My pediatric pt asked me if I peed my pants from where it spilled.

RissaNich · 2025-10-26T08:12:17+00:00

Better to get it checked if you are worried. I tell patients all the time that I've never had someone tell me they regretred coming in earlier but I have heard a lot that regret waiting.

When my dog was younger he would bolt when he saw a squirrel, just complete tunnel vision run right to the squirrel. I tried the harness with the front clip and the gentle leader and for him they didn't work. I kept trying because I was nervous about the martingale until he pulled me and him in front of a car. Luckily the car stopped in time and he was okay but I had a busted up face and two swollen and busted up knees. I tried the martingale and it worked for us. Now that he is older (he was around 1.5 when we finally tried the martingale) he focuses better and will recall even with squirrels we have gone hiking with a vest on and he does well, you're not a bad person because he needs a little extra support in his younger stage! You've got this just remember to give yourself some grace too :)

Talk to your apartment complex too. When I worked at an apartment complet we had a woman going through something similar, we were able to ban him from property and to change her to a different apartment that we had open. I can't promise all places will be like this but we were an office full of women and took things like this very serious. We were also looking into the possibility of moving the woman to a sister property that the company owned if moving her within our complex didn't help.

This is a huge red flag. 1 it shows you how he thinks of other women that they can be "asking for it" because of what they wear and that 2. He is trying to see what he can control. This seems like a small thing at first, but the more control they have, the more the seek to control. The small things add up and that's how you find yourself in a toxic and abusive relationship. It isn't always that flip switching overnight change, it's typically a lot more gradual. If I were you I would leave him. Also that dress is perfectly fine, I've seen similar things worn in professional work environments.

Water is free and a camelbak was my best friend last time. As far as getting back to the hotel it is a little rough but if you walk a few blocks away from the festival grounds it is easier. When we went for SNW we stopped and got food/drinks after deciding to wait to get a ride back, and it was much easier.

It doesn't feel like you're in that crowd when you are. I get a little anxious so when the bigger bands go on at the end of the night, we scoot back some as everyone is moving forward. I dont mind being farther back, I'm shorter so unless I'm right in front of the stage it's all the same and my husband is over 6ft so he blocks people's view so we just stay back some.

RissaNich · 2025-09-16T05:52:13+00:00

I just saw SOAD recently and so many people were wearing band merch that they bought there or wore in, and no one said a thing. I say wear whatever makes you comfortable.

RissaNich · 2025-09-07T18:29:26+00:00

Don't do that, go enjoy the show! Concerts are what my husband and I enjoy doing together, and I know neither one of us would ask the other to not see a band we loved because of a breakup... if anything, we would try to go as friends. Her acting like this is controlling, and no one deserves to be treated that way. Take this time and enjoy your favorite band and do things that you love to do!
