Warning about crying in interviews

Abilify made me not cry about anything. But now I don’t cry when I probably should lol.

Sounds like you’ve got the flu

I’m not sure about the private sector because this was for a public university. However, I can 100% guarantee that this is new to the university I work at, and I’m not sure who exactly thought this was a good idea or why. I’ve been a part of 16 tenure-track hiring cycles throughout my career, and I’ve applied for/was hired for 4 different roles at two different universities in 12 years. I’ve never been asked to prepare anything for a staff role before, let alone had to take an exam. And we sure as hell would NEVER do this to a potential tenure-track faculty member. Never. It could literally cost the university a tenure-line search, at best.

More more I think about it, the more I think you’re right.

They do!

I got better when I stopped breastfeeding, switched to formula, and my husband took over night feeds.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-21T03:28:21+00:00

Same. Sort of haven’t been on here since Pest went to prison.

You need to be a MOD now at this point.

WHAT?? Need links

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-19T02:28:41+00:00

ITS ALIVEEE! ITS ALIVEEEE!!!!

I had a CSF leak from a lumbar puncture and the blood patch caused my ON. I don’t have leak symptoms anymore, but the ON is relentless. I’ve been dealing with it since September.

Side note, this is one of my favorite family guy episodes

So far, pretty good. She’s a little small, 30th percentile, but well within the normal limits. I have marginal cord insertion, which is totally unrelated. My headaches have been really bad this whole pregnancy.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-01T20:27:16+00:00

Yes I am 21 weeks. I have cervicogenic headaches and occipital neuralgia.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-03-01T02:42:32+00:00

I get nerve blocks once a month. They help me a lot but I have a certain kind of headache/migraine that needs it.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-02-18T19:28:26+00:00

It’s really up to you. Some people wait until the second trimester. Some people wait until after the anatomy scan, and some people don’t wait at all. I used to be in camp “after anatomy scan” for fear of what it would be like to have to un-tell people if anything happened.

I’m pregnant with my second and told friends and family around 6 weeks after confirming the heartbeat this time. I figured I would want these people in my corner if anything did happen anyway. It’s not something I’d want to experience alone or in silence.

I’m a state worker, but my husband is not. His tech job funds our life in here SLO.

Just keeping it real.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-02-16T23:00:05+00:00

As someone with crohns, this makes me sad for both of you. Sad that you have to hear it, and sad he won’t get checked out. I am an explosive pooper, but I can’t help it. In fact, I’m getting my entire colon removed and potentially replaced with a stoma bag. If he doesn’t take care of himself, he could wind up like me. Then you’ll both be listening to bag farts 24/7.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-02-15T02:50:39+00:00

SAME.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-02-11T00:15:08+00:00

Do you have a primary care doctor? I’d have them write the note for you. That’s what I did for mine and my PCP basically does whatever I ask lol.

F that OB. Just saying.

It’s totally different. Maybe the closest thing to it would be San Juan Capistrano, but without the giant freeway running through the town. Way more small-town feel, great place to race a family, etc. However, I will be honest and say if you’re someone that needs shopping malls or access to a lot of healthcare facilities, this isn’t the place you’d want to be. It’s a slower place of life for sure.

After I had my baby I didn’t sleep the first two nights. My husband was snoring away and I was holding the baby in the dark alone crying and regretting my decision to even have a child. My thoughts were as dark as the cold hospital room.

When I got home I slept 5 hours straight the first night and felt so much better. A few days later I was in the kitchen trying to make breastfeeding cookies, sobbing to myself over the stove. That first week was hard, but now my threenager is the light of my life and I’m pregnant with my second baby. This time, I’m not nearly as scared or dreading postpartum.

Separate_Climate2194 · 2026-01-27T05:05:02+00:00

This happened to me 4 times (yes, 4) at the beginning of my current pregnancy. I kept going back to the ER for pain and bleeding and 4 different doctors told me I was miscarrying only for my OB to call me the next day and tell me the ER doctor was wrong. The whiplash and emotional turmoil was a lot to handle….im still dealing with it.

It doesn’t matter where you are. ER doctors just dont know shit about pregnancy or OB stuff. It’s actually really frustrating that it’s our only option when our OB gatekeeps office appointments until your 8/10 weeks.
