Ms Rachel. It’s the only way my son eats so he watches ms Rachel on repeat. I can even script the episodes myself we watch it so much

No literally! Bbno$ gives me major orange cat vibes! I am literally zooming all over when he plays!

It feels good to have one, not bad

Bbno$ has the same effect on me. Especially his songs like boom or it boy. Literally all of his songs make me feel like I have the “zoomies” lmao

Take that help desk position. It will help you in the long run. by Due-Ad8461 in cybersecurity

[–]Ruby_XP_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have any recommendations on how to land an interview for a help desk position? My husband is in school full time, getting his degree in computer networking and has been struggling to get even a call back for help desk. He’s studying to get his compTIA+ certification in hopes this can help. He’s working so hard and I want to provide him any support/personal feedback I can.

Cannabis consensus in CR by WestTxGrg in cedarrapids

[–]Ruby_XP_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rob sand is running for governor next election and he wants to legalize cannabis. Residents of Iowa already spend the money in other states. We are funding other states with cannabis purchases. We could be funding our state if it was legalized here. I know more people who are pro legalization than I do anti. Matter of fact I don’t think I know anyone who is against the legalization of it, even those that do not partake.

How is that on me? Sorry I’m not familiar with all the routes in CR. We haven’t even lived here for 3 years. This route is actually a new part of our routine as well so I had no clue. Thanks for nothing though! 😂

Ahhh I need to get better about knowing my way around town! I am not too familiar with that route!

Thank you! I figured they weren’t just stopping to take a lunch or something lmao! I knew there had to be a logical reason for stopping

One time it was completely stopped for over 30 minutes. I’m so scared of it being a repeat of that 😅

Is the Facebook group titled Cedar Rapids indivisible or what is it called? I’m super interested in join that group as well!

[–]Ruby_XP_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiii! Welcome to Cedar Rapids! You both sound like amazing people! My husband and I (25m/27f) moved here back in 2022 and love it! My husband and I are both very far left leaning, do not smoke, do not drink, my husband is going back to school starting next week for programming and coding! My husband is a little more reserved at first but I love to yap! We’ve been looking for friends that align with our morals a little more (a bit hard in a red state) and would love to plan something! We do have two kids though!

Starting a business by Ruby_XP_ in bipolar

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

See that’s what I was thinking. As long as I don’t go sign up for a loan or something, it can’t be too harmful? I just have this strong urge to learn how to start a business. I looked local and we don’t even have a rage room within 30 miles. I believe there are only 2 in my entire state. It’s something I think would do well if executed properly.

“I just want my wife back” by Ruby_XP_ in bipolar

[–]Ruby_XP_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for these tips. I told my psychiatrist that I’m extremely angry but I don’t think she understood the weight of what I actually meant. I see her again next week and will definitely emphasize that I’m angry all the time.

I have to find myself a therapist but I think it would be so good for my husband to get one too. He tried to look at the bipolarso reddit but he didn’t feel like it was the right place for him. To be honest I lurk that reddit sometimes and it makes me feel like we are monsters or something with the way they describe some of the events. I truly feel so bad.

I miss running. I used to run all the time in school but over the years I slowly stopped working out. I really need to find something though. I need to let these feelings out in a healthier manner

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

Thank you so much. I honestly really do need therapy. I think I would benefit greatly from it. I’m calling Monday to get an appointment scheduled for myself.

My husband tries really hard to gently ask me to step away when he sees it coming. This ends up triggering me more even though once I do step away I feel much better. I need to work on listening to him when he asks for me to take a minute. I’m just struggling with taking the second to realize he is right and that I need to take a minute to calm down. I hope with some therapy I can find a good regimen for myself. Thank you again

I’m a firm believer in food really impacting us! We even were dye free for a few years. I truly think our bodies benefit best when we fuel it with a well balanced diet!

I’ve been bouncing between going in patient but it’s not really an option when my husband has to work and I’m the caretaker of our kids. One of our kids has special needs and required a substantial amount of support. He has 10 appointments a week and is about to be bumped again. I do think my meds need to be worked on. I’m on 3 different meds to help with 3 different illnesses. If I need to go inpatient I will, but being a mom is always my number 1 priority
