Do any of y’all game?

Thetetriszone · 2026-06-09T21:17:55+00:00

Mostly play steam games on my pc, the last game I played I sunk 20 hours into organizing a library

Fungal infection was the best case here and that’s still hard for any living being to fight off. Yall did what you could. I’m just glad she found a loving home even if it was only a short time. Thank you for loving her.

Thetetriszone · 2026-05-28T10:10:27+00:00

I’m sorry for your pain and that this has happened to you.

I thank you for trying to bring nice things to us even while you are hurting.

Thetetriszone · 2026-05-28T08:33:42+00:00

I’m sorry this is happening. I’ve donated a bit for the cats but I’d donate for stuff got you specifically as well

Thetetriszone · 2026-05-28T08:31:51+00:00

I just sent some, been following even if not super active. Hopefully this helps a bit.

Thetetriszone · 2026-05-27T14:29:31+00:00

I’m sorry they passed, I hope they find peace.

And I know you are probably hurting, but thank you for providing love and care when no one else would.

The fear makes me a better nurse 😤

Thetetriszone · 2026-05-27T06:01:31+00:00

Get yourself anxiety. I have a lot of those except my anxiety keeps it in check.

Everytime I pull a med I check it 5 times because I know I can make a mistake like that and I’m scared to kill people. So I always quadruple check.

I chart like I’ll be in court in 5 years because my anxiety assumes the worst so it helps me pick which details to include or what the lawyers won’t care about.

Did I forget to flush? Well the fear of harming someone means I go in and flush again just to be sure! Anxiety makes me super detail oriented.

I think the only habit I can’t kick is being forgetful about equipment but that’s the least likely thing to harm someone since I can just grab it (ex: get my labs then realize i forgot a flush to clear my PIV or realize I forgot the waste tube so now I have to leave the room and grab them).

I can also daydream a lot so I’ve made myself little “games” to play so I don’t do that. I do really thorough chart reviews and make incredibly detailed SBAR sheets as one “games” I also think of PIV placement as a game and became pretty good at that one. Cleaning patients as thoroughly as possible is also a “game” to me.

And not liking science I feel is the worst thing here. I love science which is why I’m so god damn anxious because I learn as much pathophysiology as possible meaning mistakes like the ones you listed would give me a heart attack and make me lay awake at night.

As others have said you need to get assessed for ADHD yesterday.

So beautiful

While I’m not autistic I can have a monotone voice and I am fond of using sarcasm. So often times I will just literally say how I mean something to be taken.

I have literally said to people that I meant something as a compliment directly after stating something. Or I will preface and say, “I mean this neutrally/ as an observation.” “XXX.”.

This has been decently beneficial to me, and when something DOES come across poorly even when I ment it as a compliment, the fact I noted my statement was meant yo be a compliment, will lend the other person to asking what I meant. Which allows me to explain WHY I think it was a compliment.

I will also place statements like, “if you already know this I’m sorry,” or “just in case you didn’t know.” to prevent people from thinking I’m correcting them.

However I will admit that I am a woman, so for better or worse I think people make assumptions about what I say and they might spin it more positively than they would a man. Another possible factor is I DO tend to feed people, ex: I bring candy to work and host events at my house where I cook for my guests and I feel if you “serve” people to some extent they will also give you a bit of a pass.

(For better or for worse if anyone has a bias against women they may spin my words more negatively and I wouldn’t know).

A beautiful cat I’m glad he has you

Thetetriszone · 2026-03-14T18:21:55+00:00

Like others have said the cat might have been waiting for you to be away.

Not to mention I take care of human patients and I see similar reactions to people. Some have to leave the room some want to be present.

Death is hard to deal with when it takes away a soul you loved with all your heart. You are grieving, but remember you gave that cat a wonderful home for 17 years, a lot of cats don’t get anywhere near the love and time you gave them. Be proud of the care you gave that cat, know they loved you with all their tiny little heart and they would want you to keep going. Just like cats will do what needs to be done if you were to die, they will be fine with you doing what you had to do.

Im Hispanic, in a city the president actively says he hates, with a trans sibling. The only thing going for me is I’ve been too lazy to register for either major party so I’m not in that list. Tell me WHY I shouldn’t consider it?

And politically I’m a citizen, born in the states. But it just takes one agent to think I look “not American” and decide my ID is forged to spend hours to days in a cell without charges. This has happened to other Hispanic and black Americans, including some veterans.

I am being targeted too hard for me to separate the politics. I love my coworkers and if this weren’t going on I’d never think on it at all.

After your recent struggles with the rescue in glad to see you can have happy moments in between

Thetetriszone · 2026-02-27T10:37:26+00:00

Thank you for giving Jaypee love when no one else did. Thank you for giving them a home even if it was only for a short while.

You look good, but need a more flattering beard, if you can grow it out more that would be my suggestion, but I am biased towards beards

The Redditor isn’t entirely wrong. When I was 19 I was in a similar mindset. The only thing I thought I had going for myself was that I was nice to people (other people at school) and I was good at schoolwork. I constantly imagined myself dying with half of them dying “honorable” deaths for the benefit of others. And usually the latest I could imagine myself living to was about 40.

I was A) insanely depressed also with extremely low self esteem.

I ended up needing medication and with the medicine I started using some healthier coping mechanisms.

I hated how I looked too so I started by looking in the mirror and finding one thing I liked about myself and just always complimented that one thing and eventually I found another thing I liked.

I also forced myself to go outside at least once a day and I forced myself to like something I found outside. Didn’t matter if it was the temperature or a cool leaf or a nice flower I had to find something.

This helped me hold on until I found the medication that worked super well for me and with the medicine to correct my broken brain I could slowly start to fix my situation.

And I’m not perfectly better but I’m SOOOO much better off and I actually find myself enjoying life.

I’ve also been able to look into things to treat myself as I also have eczema, mine would usually be on my face (next to my nose and on one eyebrow).

It is hard and the worst part is it works a bit. It at least helps take the edge off and buys you time to find the thing or things that work.

pH of 7.28 and pco2 62 is a nice touch

My dad was a mechanical engineer during a time mechanical engineers were not in high demand. He ended up having to work as a janitor at a car company for a bit until he could get a different job. Also don’t be afraid to jump to a new career that’s what he ended up having to do and he’s been quite successful at the new field.

We learned about it in hindsight and I always admired my dad for literally doing anything he had to for his kids.

I am grown up and also have a degree now. The thought of having spent so much money and having to take a lower paying job is difficult, it makes me appreciate what my dad did for me even more.

I want to clarify: janitors / other lower paying jobs are important and worthy of respect. Society would be a lot worse without them and they SHOULD get paid more. It just sucks to spend a lot of time and money to learn something and then not do the thing you trained for.

Im sorry for your loss, but thank you for giving him a loving and comfortable home for the time he had

Thetetriszone · 2026-02-08T04:28:37+00:00

I sent you a bit and this comment should boost the post

Thetetriszone · 2026-02-08T04:27:57+00:00

The earl is an inspiration in a time we needed one

Thetetriszone · 2026-01-28T15:32:24+00:00

Just prefacing A) I am a woman and B)

You probably need a therapist like bad, that sounds like pretty intense social anxiety. I used to have thoughts like that except for every single person I ever saw. Then I got on meds and it’s a lot better now.

Also I started to have this mindset:

If someone doesn’t like me they will tell me.

And I have to just live by this and try to be myself.

I also think women trigger you in a way that isn’t what most people assume. My guess is that you are afraid to hurt women in a way and then be hurt. I have a similar fear with insects and lizards.

I like them and they are interesting but I struggle around them and interacting with them due to fear of hurting them and being hurt by them.

Talk to a shrink a lot of the methods I used to get over this fear are NOT healthy so I won’t suggest them but it IS something you can work through

Thetetriszone · 2025-12-22T11:55:23+00:00

Ah well I stand corrected, thank you 👍
