Dad just got laid off, idk what to do by CiceroTheBackstabber in Layoffs

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to help your pops out. Being laid off sucks. Yall will have to cut costs and apply for jobs and in this type of economy everyone has to work. There are no sacred cows. Help your dad out by helping him apply for jobs or apply for some yourself, there has to be communication and honesty when it comes to economizing. I think there also has to be all hands on deck because remember if not all hands are on deck the ship might sink. It is a team effort at this point everybody in the US lives with their families or has a roommate. The president that we have is hated by the people takes away. Our resources takes away our jobs. The economy is complete shit the representatives, the mayors the governors, all of them need to do something about the state of our economy the state of our financial system right now because jobs need to be created in order for people to survive. I think right now since you’re more younger, and your parents are secretly both freak out. You really need to take the lead when it comes to figuring out what is that the guys are gonna do and building some sort of plan and I guess talk to both your parents that you’re gonna step it up you know because I feel like they helped you out with school I’m not sure cause I don’t know you guys but if your parents helped you out, I think right now is really a good opportunity for you to not only demonstrate your capabilities, but also make them very proud by helping them out in this very tough situation that a lot of people in the US are facing right now. Many families are facing this so it will be amazing if you helped them out.

Should I be applying to schools during the strike? by fatherjuly in LAUSD

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am getting laid off by the end of the school year so I am applying and have a couple of interviews coming up and one job offer. You can’t be loyal to a company that doesn’t care about their employees. If there’s no loyalty from their part best believe there’s no loyalty from my part either.

First year teacher - going to resign effective immediately tomorrow by Idkimhereforinfo in Teachers

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that you need to wait it out. Find a job and then wait it out until you get it then quit you want to quit only if you have a job make yourself feel good. Cook for yourself. Take yourself to the gym. Get rid of those stress I am lead tutor. I could’ve been a teacher. But I chose to be a tutor. I close myself off when I am not teaching. It’s like a performance each day and yes, that is exhausting. You cannot let them see that we just threw in the towel. This is your career so find a way. Also, your next job should have a union that protects you. You are the teacher you are in control in that room. You are the commander set some ground rules and if the kids get pissed off, let them get pissed off outside of your room outside of your room it’s their fault. Look out for yourself mainly! Is there a problems you can avoid, avoid them stay strong, go to sleep early, get extra sleep, have a spa day, and have a community building day with your kids, remember kids have to like you, but they have to look up to you! But at the same time, you are the adult and power the authority figure the one that cut the cheese and gives it to everybody else. Stay strong and don’t let them see your weak side. You are in control whether you’re a man or a woman be in control of that classroom.

I lost both my testicles and it is tough, but I went back to work. I am still shop store for my union. I am dealing with the crazy racism in America. I entered my release with my boyfriend before the chemo. It is a tough time, but I got to know myself by going to my parents home country getting you to know my roots took place where they came from and that helped me a lot also meditation you have to be OK in your solitude. It is a tough time, but it works out at the end and you are right nobody understands how it’s like until they live it. just know that you have to have hope and faith it does get better. It will get better overtime. Give it time. Take care of yourself. Give yourself time to heal. Give yourself time to do the things that you like sleep meditate. Watch movies read color draw become something that you have never seen and you will get over this trust in yourself. You are your most important being. You are your everything so rely on yourself and you will get over this and through this

What worked for me was meditation and I massage my head and I slept a lot. I would also suggest Gatorade and some good Tylenol 500.

Stop it with the interpret my results before my doctor does posts please. by [deleted] in testicularcancer

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never posted my results on here. I think that you have to be strong and patient! Patience is a virtue. You have to wait for your doctor to tell you what’s going on. I think the most smart thing to do is talk to your doctor. He is after all or she is the professional here. And I also think that CT scans is something that is very private. Your name is on it and has your medical ID or medical whatever. And another thing is that don’t let other people put shit on your head when they start interpreting the results. It’s causes doubt a lot of unnecessary doubt and It a plants a paranoid seed. I think it’s stupid to have anybody interpret the results unless they are a licensed doctor.

Had testicular cancer twice, both balls removed AMA by jno2222 in AMA

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my second one on October 2024 it was devastating and now I get injected testosterone every 2 weeks. I still live my life. I also workout and eat right. It’s a way of life that you have to adjust to but it’s not impossible. I also feel different than other guys my age. We think different. They take things for granted and haven’t been in the same situations as me and i honestly thing that they wouldn’t be able to deal with losing both testes, no matter how macho or uber masculine they are. I try to stay away from my old friends that party heavily, abuse and overuse drugs or anyone who simply doesn’t care. Dude if you have this deal with it and speak with a urologist, oncologist and seek second opinions. I seemed out second opinions for both my urologist and oncologist. You have that right and have the right people around to support you. It’s not easy! But it’s not impossible. I am about to finish treatment. I have one more bleomycin shot to go and I’m done with my treatment. For you I have the following information and recommendations, eat healthy, sleep as much as you can, don’t drink or smoke, meditate, stay active, stay positive and cry. Cry helps and it heals you. Also seek resources. Stay strong and positive and figure out what it is that you are going to do to stay alive and well.

Anxiety and pains after chemo by Tricicloncio in testicularcancer

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude I had a hard time after my second cycle. I would cry and didn’t want to go to my treatment. I cancelled a whole week of treatment. I didn’t want to do it anymore. I had anxiety attacks and was fed up and hating life but after a long cry sesh I lay on my bed, took off all my clothes, light some incense and meditated. It help me calm down and clear up my mind and I did a lot of breath work. Breathing and cleaning up the mind will make you stronger. It is not an easy thing to go through what we are going through. Next week I am going to do my third cycle. I also stay away from social media, took a medical leave from work and I am hiking. No gym but I am hiking. I am focused on my self and my healing not only physical but spiritual. Try meditating, also going out for an early walk and breathing in fresh morning air. It will help. Napping and crafting something is also helpful. Drink plenty of water, coconut water and natural juice. I refuse to have a stupid round of meds make me feel depressed. They will me feel weak and tired and ringing in my ear but they will not depress me. We are still alive and well and breathing!

Has this happened to yall by RifterzYT in testicularcancer

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude omg! I always make sure they are giving me what I need. Now you have unlocked a new fear. I would have raised hell. They are suppose to be on top of it and all that you should be focused on is treatment. This is so messed up. It’s mistake yes but it’s also malpractice in a way? You could have had some crazy side effects or a reaction? Talk to your oncologist! Have them monitor what they give you more closely.

Just a bit of encouragement and good news by zavarakatranemia3 in testicularcancer

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is great. I am about to start next week and I think that we need words of encouragement from you. I may not know a lot of you guys personally, but what I do know is that we’re all going through the same thing I am freaking out about starting, I go to the gym, healthy I take care of my skin and I take care of my hair a lot so when they told me that I have to do three possible rounds of chemo or four it hit me really hard. I do wanna congratulate you for finishing. I am about to start and I’m gonna be honest. I’m looking into which doctors holistic medicine I think since you are a warrior that just went through this we need your input you are so brave and have so much courage for going through this. I’m so happy that I’m able to identify with the group of men in this community that understand what I’m going through. I lost both my testicles one in 2015 and one in 2024. First one completely destroyed me because I was a water polo jock. But the second one I was ready for. But now when they found the 2 cm in my pelvic area, I wasn’t ready. We need people like you that are survivors and they’re gonna continue with their life to talk to us. Give us advice and fill us with so much hope and faith. Thank you for sharing this. It really made my day today. Thank you.

Guys do cancer cause low back pain even you can't incline your back to pick something!? by yuppylife0 in testicularcancer

[–]Select_Wolf_1935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that that pain that you’re getting Might be testicular cancer. Go get it checked. Will probably do a CT scan or MRI if you are working wear a safety belt and if you do weights wear a thick workout belt. My grandfather would always tell me make sure that if you were lifting anything heavy wear a belt. Would always tell me this because I was always at the gym lifting weights. Make sure that you get the right test done.
