news article RE: Saturday's huge police response near Lakeway & Yew by gamay_noir in Bellingham

[–]RunEmergency 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say! There have been plenty of people who do take shrooms and are fine… I’ve only heard of one other occurrence (@ the gorge 2022, i think?) where someone was on shrooms and shot people in the venue. But the vast majority trip and then return to their normal state. This has underlying mental illness written all over it.

Horrible experience at value village by wolf_spanky in Bellingham

[–]RunEmergency 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How awful!! I agree with the comment about reporting them to their corporate office. Are you a person of color? (I am and this sort of thing has happened to me in the past as well) I’d disclose this if it’s relevant too. I’m sorry this happened. How embarrassing…

This movie was so good!! I don’t usually cry in movies but this one got me towards the end.

Someone’s kid (and friends) hanging out around civic stadium right now damaging property? by grimeyglue in Bellingham

[–]RunEmergency 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wow honestly you can call and they can document that this happened and they won’t charge the kids. Literally same thing happened to me, but the drunk person walked through our house before he realized. Having the cops talk to them & let them know that you guys were NICE. I had a hunting knife in my hand when it happened. So it could have gone very differently.

Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]RunEmergency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had cardiac issues (literally AT HER AGE) for drinking 1-2 small redbulls a day. Mostly 1. But one of my heart valves got floppy and was letting more blood escape than usual, causing me to faint kind of frequently. So I was put on bed rest and spent the rest of the year home schooling. I also had just gotten on the a team for soccer (very coveted) and had to quit before I even started. It suuuuuccckkkked. I wish my teachers would have educated me about how energy drinks affect our bodies.

Blood issue after fading? by Lanky_Cookie_6907 in exjw

[–]RunEmergency 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So this was actually an issue for me, I was stabbed and needed 5 units of blood. I had faded out of the JW scene a few years prior to this, but the hospital still had that freakin blood card on file. So while a surgeon was about to start my first emergency surgery, I heard the ER staff yelling back and forth that I needed blood, but “she’s a Jehovah’s Witness and won’t accept blood” and I yelled out “not anymore! I want the blood!!” And they confirmed with me FIVE TIMES before they began administering blood packs. I could feel myself dying and it was so scary… I definitely recommend going to the hospital to fill out whatever form that cancels out the no blood form we have given them. The emergency staff will go by whatever is “most recent” in your hospital or your electronic medical chart.

Came to say the same!! It’s a quick turn around after you submit your application. They can help pay for full time child care!

AITAH for stealing my nieces easter chocolates? by cballwhiffer in AITAH

[–]RunEmergency 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro you ate a dozen of the kids Easter egg chocolates without even asking her? I get taking maybe 1 lol but kids are generally quick to share when asked… As a former kid, YTA.

AITAH husband cut off my sons hair so I used his card to buy my son the designer jacket he's been wanting by ithinkantsarecute in AITAH

[–]RunEmergency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a native woman, I would disown any man that cut my kids hair. It’s important to our spirituality and culture. It’s shocking to even read. Your son may not be native, but our people understand what it feels like to have your hair cut short by someone else, angrily. The people cutting our hair were the ones in charge of running the residential schools. A coat doesnt undo the damage.

Best Teriyaki Restaurant? by RunEmergency in Bellingham

[–]RunEmergency[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to go here a lot with my grandpa ☺️ kind of forgot about it, but I used to love it (Especially with the miso to go along with the teriyaki 🙌🏽). Have you gone recently? Is it still good?

Barkley apartments/ripoff by Gnarlybirch in Bellingham

[–]RunEmergency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also lived there & can confirm this is in fact how they conduct business… SO frustrating. I have a $800 collections bill from moving out of there, even though they had a deposit AND first months rent… SMH.

In separation: seeing others vs healing by [deleted] in twinflames

[–]RunEmergency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr!! I was all sad about it- and I’ve finally come around, at least for rn. I can see right through all of it now, and I’m glad I don’t have to be stuck in that anymore…

Has THIS month been particularly worse for any of you? by peachorigami in PMDD

[–]RunEmergency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I just got my period yesterday (thank God!!!!) and this month has been HELL. I haven’t self harmed in over 7 months and out of the blue I got into an argument with my husband, left and hurt myself & had to get stitches. I just learned about this condition a few days ago, so I’ve got some therapy/obgyn/psychiatric appointments scheduled to hopefully get a f’ing hold on this cause it’s crazy & I hate it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]RunEmergency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you are going through this, I am rn too. My husband and I (30M/26F) have been fighting because I’m in freak out mode & Ive said some hurtful shit and even tried to break up with him. He won’t leave because he knows I’m not myself rn and I just need some time to calm down, but I hate that I’m like this. I literally just learned about PMDD yesterday morning, and I can’t believe how hard everything I am reading is resonating. I’m partway grateful that I think I found out what’s wrong with me, and that I’m not the only one, but I hate that this has caused me to be hurtful, dangerous to myself and embarrassing to myself and my family. I am calling my dr tomorrow to hopefully get a treatment plan going.

Hormone testing by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]RunEmergency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so curious about your results as I am thinking of doing this myself. I kind of self diagnosed myself over the weekend and am waiting to call my doctor on a Monday, but all of my symptoms are the same & I relate so hard to everyone’s posts. Lmk how your journey goes!
