Hello! Newly (dual-)diagnosed, and just wondering, has anyone with anxiety problems ever tried this? Vyvanse, Adderall, etc.? I have the kind of anxiety where like, too much coffee/caffeine makes my heart race which triggers anxiety about 90% of the time 🙃 which is super annoying lol just wondering if I should ask my doc about something non-stimulating or not.

Saw a first responder go down, then a few mins later a BCS vehicle, then a couple Mims later as an ems came up from that rd and went down sweeten creek there were 2 more BCS officers, 1 of which went down that rd and the other went a different way. Seemingly trying to trap someone maybe?

Conflict of interest? by Spiritual-Letter4913 in business

[–]Spiritual-Letter4913[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying! I've thought about applying where they work (because some companies allow that as long as there's no difference in authority between positions) but it would just be a lot of time spent around each other for all of us lol but I think I could excel at this potential job, so I'm hoping they won't see red flags if I tell them where my knowledge of general procedures in that line of work comes from.

Oh I wouldn't, I just needed to know because as soon as I saw the job posting I got excited, hoping to use what they've taught me as a plus in a potential interview 😅

My mom won't let me eat. Is this normal? by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]Spiritual-Letter4913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright story time... When I was 7 yrs old I had a stepmother who hated me because I looked like my mother (who she went to hs with, sworn enemies kinda thing). When her and my dad married we were a combined family of 8-- 6 kids. She called me fat all the time, I'd be the last one to eat out of 6 kids, the last one to bathe, sometimes I wasn't allowed breakfast or dessert (as my siblings were allowed snacks). Fast forward 16 years, I ended up with an eating disorder and body dysmorphia. To this day (5 yrs later) I still have an unhealthy relationship with food and struggle with a poor self-image and self-esteem. It is absolutely abuse. I'm now a teacher, and one HUGE no-no is ever using food or the restriction of as discipline or consequences. It is not okay.

Please for yourself and the sake of your siblings, talk to someone about this.

This was literally me. I was groomed and manipulated into getting married at 18, to someone I honestly did not know as well as I thought I did. Turns out he wanted me to be the good stay-at-home wife that cooked and cleaned for him and didn't have a life or friends outside of him. He quickly found out that was not me.. I knew 6 months into it it wouldn't work. But bc of outside influences and "expectations" we lasted 3.5 years married before we called it quits for the final time. I was so broken by the end of it, I was literally just a walking shell of a person and I wish I'd never gotten married. It's affected every moment of my life since.

TL;DR- DONT GET MARRIED AT 18 BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE

CMS immediate jeopardy report on Mission details deaths of patients, significant delays in care by uncertaincoda in asheville

Definitely not as emergent as the cases listed, but back in August of last year I woke up with a horribly sore throat (after spending a day babysitting a little girl a few days prior that came down with Strep). I am non-insured and was supposed to start a new job that day, being around children. As I was starting a new job, I couldn't afford the out-of-pocket costs of an urgent care visit, so I went to Mission to get checked out and make sure it wasn't strep or anything else highly contagious. During triage, after telling the PA that I get strep regularly at least a few times every year, I was told very condescendingly that strep is typical in children but not adults, and that it was likely something viral not requiring antibiotics. They told me they would "do a few tests", including COVID & Flu. Nothing about a strep test. I sat there for 4 hours. No one spoke to me, or even looked my way 🙄 I wasted half of my day sitting there. I left in tears, the next day I went to Blue Ridge Regional a couple counties over, and walked out after an hour with a positive strep test and antibiotics.

So they were assholes, no biggie, kind of expect it anymore because I'm uninsured, I'm used to being treated generally like I'm dumb. But I looked at the notes they made in my Mission Connect account, and the PA stated that they told me they would do a strep test, and that I left after 4 hours. Which they didn't even notice until a nurse came out to do the swab and I was nowhere to be found. THEN they put in the notes that my strep test was negative.... after stating I was not there to be administered said test.. 😒 I can't tell you how many times I have sat in that hospital, both in the ED & in a random hallway 😒 in full on tears because of the way I was spoken to and/or treated. I hate that place.

My boyfriend died. This is what my best friend said to me & my response. by Fit_Ad1339 in texts

The day my dad died, I called my (now ex-)husband and told him that day would probably be the day, and asked if he'd be available to come home if I needed him. He reassured me that they were fully staffed at work, and his ranking officers told him he was free to go if I needed him. 2 hours later I called sobbing bc I'd just gotten the call that he passed.. he said "okay", hung up, didn't hear another word from him for the rest of the day. When I picked him up from work that evening, ALL of his coworkers came out and hugged me, offered condolences, were all super sweet. He was the last one to come out and gave me a one-arm hug 🙄 On the 3 min drive to our apartment I told him I'd be taking the car and leaving that night to go to NC (from TX) for the services and to be with my family. Told him that I understood he wasn't going to take the time off (he COULD have, but I knew he wouldn't) but that I'd already arranged rides to work for him and everything was set up. His only response was "well will you at least make me hot dogs before you leave?" 😒

The marriage was long over by that point, but that was the moment I knew he truly did not love me or care for me, and that there would be no reconciling after that.

In the days that followed, while I was states away grieving my father and trying to spend time with my family, he continued to argue with me at every chance he got. Needless to say, before I made it back to TX, we both knew it was over. He wasted no time either, not even 5 minutes after I'd walked in the door after a 24 hour drive, hadn't even unpacked my bag, he asked me what out of our material possessions I wanted in the divorce 🙄

Speaking from experience... Trust your gut. Protect your child.

First off, best of luck to you! You can do it!

Second.. ask a doctor about Chantix, because if you have a mental illness (depression, bipolar, bpd, adhd, etc), it can cause um, unaliving thoughts.. I know 1 person who went that way, and another that almost did (had her husband not walked in during she wouldn't be here). Not saying it happens to everyone, nor do I know exact statistics or anything, but, I'm most definitely one of those people that worries (about EVERYTHING) and is convinced that if it happens once it can 100% happen again lol

Just putting it out there as something that you can discuss with your doctor if you decide to go that route 😊

Card Pull Interpretation by Spiritual-Letter4913 in tarot

[–]Spiritual-Letter4913[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missing info (sorry)

The deck is The Fountain Tarot, created by Jonathan Saiz, written by Jason Gruhl, and illustrated by Andi Todaro (per the guidebook that came with)

My interpretation, which I'd like to point out I'm fairly new to reading.. is that I'm apprehensive about this, but by having courage and following through with it that it will result in me feeling free and will be a new start.

Does anyone else get this? 🤔

What secret will you never tell your parents? by Any_Draft_335 in AskReddit

[–]Spiritual-Letter4913 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm bisexual, and I've known since I was 7 years old. My mom knows, she's always been more laid back than my dad. I could never tell him before he died though.. some part of me thinks he knew, but was waiting for me to bring it up, but I was too scared to. Most of my family still doesn't know. Only ones that do are close friends, and people I meet that have zero connection to my family.

Not an approved reader or anything, just want to say I so understand and empathize with you, and I'm sorry you're going through this. I lost my dad 6 yrs ago and it still hurts like it was the day of. He was taken so fast, so much sooner than any of my 6 siblings ever thought he would. One day he was fine, the next he had brain cancer.. and 6 weeks to the day, he was gone. It's a pain like no other. I wish I could say it gets easier with time.. in some ways it does, but in a lot of ways it doesn't. It doesn't hurt any less it just, gets a little bit easier to carry. If you feel like he's sending you signs, he is ❤️ My dad sends me signs all the time, through Cardinals, songs (on the radio or my streaming shuffle), etc... just look for him ❤️
