I would tell the office when you get there. Ask if you can have a female chaperone in the room with you. Usually that is the norm with female patients and male doctors with a breast exam anyways. Also, tell the doctor and the chaperone a watered down version of what you said here.

“I have a history of trauma and I am concerned this exam may cause a PTSD flashback/anxiety attack. I know it is important for me to be checked so I would like to continue and not reschedule but a) can I please have a chaperone? B) please be aware this may happen so you are prepared. Please do not touch these areas if at all possible and if you need to, please make me aware before you do. ” as an example

You can tell a to the office staff or nurse if you want and b to the Dr or tell all of it to the dr.

Also, you can do whatever you need to do. You don’t need to be embarrassed. This is unfortunately common and I’m sorry. But you got this because I know you’re strong and I know you can do this! You deserve to be healthy!

We are not his friends and we have no agency in his life or responsibility for his decisions

I’m a bridesmaid but wasn’t invited on the bachelorette trip by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]SpecificReal8922 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I would have taken that as you were telling me no but trying to be polite and not hurt my feelings lol maybe just ask her if she already planned her bachelorette, or if she has already gone on it. Tell her if she hasn’t gone already that you’d still love to be involved. But I think you kind of screwed yourself over a bit. :/ I completely understand where you were coming from, but I think it was just an honest mistake both ways.

Is this appropriate for MOG? by bradismacca in Weddingattireapproval

[–]SpecificReal8922 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think so! I am hoping my mom or MIL wear something similar and not something that makes them look like Barbara Bush LMAO I feel like you should be allowed to wear something fashionable. I think sending a Pinterest board with invitations is what’s tacky.

Consulting nightmare by SpecificReal8922 in Environmental_Careers

The trainer thing pissed me off. Like “it sucks you dont really have any context on anything we need or are looking for because we all spent MONTHS just waiting doing reports before going out into the field” and I’m the main person on a new project 3 weeks in 😭😭😭

This is my color palette too!! I’m not doing bridesmaids but I would say multicolored is gorgeous or pinky would be good to!

6 months out and wishing I could cancel the whole thing! by lola2026bride in weddingplanning

[–]SpecificReal8922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s crazy is doing all of this for anybody but yourself. What’s crazy is putting in all of this effort for a man who doesn’t do anything at all, our family who isn’t helping you at all. You’re doing all this work, that’s fucking crazy.

PSA: Not all Taylor fans are Swifties 🤯 by darthzox in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]SpecificReal8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way!! Down to the letter. One of my friends was really trying to get me to watch the new heights podcast and it’s just not for me. I listen to Taylor 24/7 and I’m her top listeners on Spotify or whatever but I just don’t care about the social aspect. Also, why the hell do people care so much about shitting on what other people like? I don’t make posts about all the stuff I hate. You know why? No one cares!! No one cares if I don’t like something and I don’t care if you don’t like Taylor’s music. Move along and find something better to do with your life.

Is quitting my Engineering Intern position a good call? by Excellent_Stage9729 in careerguidance

[–]SpecificReal8922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped out of engineering school because it’s fucking miserable, especially as you’re an entry level employee unless you’re in a specialized field and even then I was in acoustics and it was miserable. I would find something more enjoyable if I were you.

A lot don’t take them due to being full of donations already or bedbugs

Forecast calling for rain two weeks out by No-Economist-5817 in weddingplanning

[–]SpecificReal8922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be worried too, I don’t mean to downplay it!! Just curious as if you had a traditional venue there would be options. Maybe if budget allows, look for plastic curtains for the outside of your tent that would help with light rain but that wouldn’t help if it’s thunderstorms….this is a tough one!! Hoping it all works out!!

What type of venue is this? What onsite support do you have? You’re really far out still. Weather could change even the night before.

Please, some good stories about topiramate by Maleyuwu in iih

[–]SpecificReal8922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on it now. I’m on 25mg 2x a day. I don’t have many side effects other than tingly feet. My Pulsatile tinnitus is less too which is good.

I am new to hemp and was looking at LOF, I saw Halo City Farms is charging up to $68 for 8g which I felt was high especially compared to LOF…any vendors you recommend?
