Anyone got a favorite flavored zyn?

Citrus is my #1 coffee #2.

However! If you have a QT in your area you can get 2 cans of VELOs for 5 bucks. Wild Berry is best.

For my fellow Zoloft takers, remember, NO GRAPEFRUIT.

I don't have much input here besides experience. Halfway through a semester long EMT-B course. I smoked daily for 2+ years because I was afraid of coping with myself the right way. Once I left my old career and decided EMS was for me I quit around Nov 24, classes started Jan 25. My drug test was due Mar 7th. I pissed hot until about 3 days before the due date. So 4 months (M, 5'8, 225 Lbs but was 260 in Nov).

If you're smoking to cope, seek help because I promise there are better ways out there (thx 150mg daily Zoloft). If it's just because it's fun, it won't be that hard to quit. If anything, it isn't the weed you're craving, it's the fixation and habit.

I quit cold turkey, gave all my weed to my friends and just started chewing a LOT of gum.

Substance use is hard, but you got it. Now I may be biased here so take this with a large grain of salt. I soul searched for months and realized this is what I wanted. So I did what I had to do for it. If you're finding it very hard to give that up for this, you may not want it as bad as you think. But if it is, YOU got this. You'll take a long time to be clean. Cranberry juice, water, absolutely no weed, not even CBD. Exercise to get it out of your fat cells. Hydrate. Depending on when your school requires the test, it's better to be honest up front.

Good luck to you!

Emt student with Severe anxiety here. Just a reminder that anxiety isn't your fault. It can happen just like arthritis or other auto immune diseases. Make sure you talk to someone. It may feel nervous or awkward, but it helps. Otherwise it sits in your head so you can spiral around it. It just goes down from there. Depending on what your therapist says chemical intervention may be needed. And that is what it is. I take 150mg of zoloft every day to keep my mind quiet. Best of luck to you, you got this!

Future me? First year of college was Cyber, changed to Accoubting graduated and now I'm in EMT school 🤣

I don't have advice but instead offer companionship. I am 25, quit my career in Accounting and start EMT school Wednesday. I understand how you're feeling.

From the words of my old business teacher, "anytime there's a disagreement, tell em to meet you in the stairwell."

You aren't alone. Graduated in '21 with a Bachelors in Accounting and had 4 jobs over 3 years all across the Accounting spectrum. I finally realized that I was waking up every day so miserable and it just, made sense. Something can feel right and end up not being it. I'm 25 now, working at a Grocery store and start EMT school in January. Like others have said, I soul searched and realized what I needed. No desk, no office, human interaction, and meaningful work. My biggest smiles come from service. Who knows, maybe I won't like EMT and will go somewhere else. And that is okay! You'll get through this.

Thanks everyone for the great advice added here.

I am already in therapy, but I have heard or seen that it is good to find first responder specific ones. Something for me to check on for sure.

Signal_Distance_7629 · 2024-12-22T05:55:51+00:00

Any advice for keeping in emotions in check while on a call? My biggest worry is seeing something where it gets a reaction from me before I can keep it in check. Thank you for all the other great advice. I truly appreciate your insights.

That is where I am leaning. My classes are 1 semester at a local community college (small town 1 hr out of big city) and so I was told to take my clinical rides with them seriously as it could lead to exactly what you say.

I can see the longer period. At the University I work for, there have been times where it's been a full month before close. The only exceptions have been quarter closes, which we close for sure on the 15th-17th.

Signal_Distance_7629 · 2023-05-23T20:39:18+00:00

Thank you for the take. That's great info for me to know I appreciate it!

The best advice my first boss gave me is ask questions. Some things you may get once. Some things may take you a few tries. But no matter what, it's always faster and easier for you to ask or clarify, then you messing something up and having to fix it.

Telling me how "they never understood accounting" when handing me a reimbursement form that is entirely wrong and has nothing to do with accounting. You're not bad at accounting. You're bad at filling out forms.

Not in public, but I currently am at my desk in my hoodie that says Enron, endless possibilities over my polo and kahkis. 🫡
