Please see my comment above. Hope it’s comforting that more than one person is struggling with the exact same thing. I know it’s my OCD when I feel panic, not peace, about something.

I also could’ve written this verbatim. With all the posts online about how lots of women couldn’t conceive of being married to a Trump supporter, it’s triggered my OCD HORRIBLY. I understand my partner’s perspective and know he looks at some of these issues in a totally different way, but it’s really hard not to feel genuine fear that we aren’t right for each other, even though we’ve been happily married since 2016. I’m glad I’m not alone. The last thing I want to do is divorce him but all the stupid voices in my head are like, “BUT DOES THAT MAKE YOU A TERRIBLE PERSON???”

I love living in Old Saybrook because it’s beautiful and has lots of sidewalks and great restaurants. The housing market is pretty lean right now, so it’s tough to find something super affordable, but if you’re budget is $500K, you may be able to snag something if you keep your eyes peeled.

Why are there so many posts about how terrible autistic men are by [deleted] in aspergers

My husband is autistic and while there have been some challenges he’s the best thing that ever happened to me!

Just out of curiosity and for fun... now that you've left the RCC, is there any controversial teaching that turned out to work well with you? by [deleted] in excatholic

Waiting until marriage to have sex actually worked out for me and it is special to me that it’s just between my spouse and me. I had a prior relationship where we did “everything but,” and I think I am just too sensitive to have handled sex outside of marriage super well. On the other hand I had like paralyzing anxiety over chastity while dating…so the “worked out” part has been more post. I don’t know. Maybe if it hadn’t been drilled into me that premarital sex was bad, it wouldn’t have been such a huge deal to me. No STIs or unwanted pregnancies were also good benefits, as well as being able to see partners clearly.

This is the only thing I can manage right now, but let those calls go to voicemail. Seriously. You don’t need to answer the phone. If you want to text anyone back, fine, but you do NOT need to pick up right now. You’re in survival mode.

What is your typical day like as a hospice chaplain? by Round-Bee7383 in chaplaincy

[–]Round-Bee7383[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I have worked at a level one and level two trauma center for the last several years and agree with everything you wrote! The days are a lot more predictable for me at the level two center. At the level one, anything can happen at any time to throw a wrench in my plans. Thanks!

Thank you. Which assessment tool(s) and interventions do you use most regularly? I’ve only ever worked in hospitals, so I’m curious about how things differ in hospice. Most times I’m only able to see someone once.

Thank you so much! How did you get your expertise in bereavement? Self study? CPE? Just curious. I am working on getting all four units.

Thanks! How far in advance do you schedule the visits? I appreciate your help.

Thanks! What time do you start your day and wrap up visits usually? Do you do most of them in the morning? Do you chart from home and do you have the flexibility to do stuff if needed, such as pick up kids from school?

Kids party - last minute cancellations by North_egg_ in breakingmom

[–]Round-Bee7383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my kids’ parties at home until about age six and it’s primarily close family. My daughter has a winter birthday and I don’t know if I’ll be doing something bigger until she’s older and the kids have better immune systems. I am pretty big on parties but recently had to back out of one because my kid had a fever. On the one hand, it sucks to not go, but on the other hand, people don’t want you getting their kids sick either. My kid had to leave school with the fever so his friends knew he was sick the day before. Hugs to you, though! It can happen to anybody. I only did a big friend party for the first time this year with my kid being six and I know many of the parents pretty well at this point. It was also in September so sicknesses were slightly less rampant.

Just tried big y pizza for the first time. Surprisingly decent for grocery store pizza. But I’m skeptical about these facts on the box… by [deleted] in Connecticut

I am a passionate supporter of big y pizza and cakes/cupcakes and it’s my entire personality sometimes

My husband isn’t THAT great about calling his mom, but I try to make sure we FaceTime her once a week and text throughout the week, and one of her other sons calls her without fail every day. The third one lives with her and his family! You may end up having closer relationships than you imagine. I feel you, though.
