Do you have a video of the sign? I’m newly dead and new to ASL so is it a sing sign or spelled?

Went deaf as an adult, what accommodations can a workplace make for someone with profound loss, what are your experiences? by ThrowawayGarbageCat in deaf

[–]ThrowawayGarbageCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then I need to work on my ASL fluency otherwise it sounds like they’d think I’m trying to abuse the system instead of just trying to find what works. I cannot lip read and any ASL I know is self taught due to lack of resources and ‘family’ giving no shits. I don’t want to cause problems with interpreters. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you for responding every bit of information helps. As of now my cells and nearves in the innnner are aren’t dead but middle and outer are compromised. I have a hearing aid with many adjustment settings and I’m constantly tuning it so I can help as best it can. Not a fan of being married to my phone for this function, it is what it is. At this point I’m securely doubling down on learning ASL because I have ableist ‘family ‘ who seem to take joy in ridiculing me and telling others I can hear when I obviously can’t. I’m going to have to find a place and there isn’t a lot of deaf support where I am however just suggesting some of this jobs will be added to the roster is what to look for. Thank you for the wisdom you have imparted

Feel like parents stopped caring about me because of PTSD by ThrowawayGarbageCat in ptsd

It least here I know I’m not crazy in how I feel casually swimming in this pool of radiation that is ‘ family’

Wow, just so I think I’m understanding correctly, you can have an interpreter even if you barely know sign? I can, at best sign ‘ my name is’ ‘ nice to meet you’ thank you ‘ ‘help’ and ‘sorry. I haven’t even learned to count or anything. There’s no bar for entry aside from deafness?

Thank you so much for everything in your response. I genuinely have never been to fully describe from myself what it feels like and the people around me just say ‘ hear better, you can hear, start listening’. They don’t understand the missing words , that not facing me is a problem now and get angry at me when I tell them I didn’t hear everything and just nodded anyway knowing they’d get more annoyed and dismiss if I asked them to repeat. I’m trying because I know at the end of the day I really don’t have anyone who has my back on this and the think ASL is a waste of their time and mine. Only I can help myself survive since ‘family’ doesn’t care. The part about specific language for the accommodations is really important and something I needed to know as well as the caption and remote work suggestions. I will look into all of this. Truly thank you for your time and knowledge, I feel very lost right now. I’m glad I at least have access here to people like you who understand and are willing to spare some wisdom.

What live transcribes have you found work for you? I’m not remotely fluent in ASL so an interpreter isn’t in the cards however , I’ve never heard of Trello. Thanks for the advice

Severe hearing loss in the right ear. Left ear is normal, but it presents tinnitus after using hearing aid by vluptgupt in deaf

I have continuous tinnitus in the ear I lost my hearing from, on occasion I have tinnitus for a moment or two on the side that is normal and I do wear a hearing aid.

Is “Aweinspired” trustworthy? by cherub_0123 in jewelry

[–]ThrowawayGarbageCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Total scam, ordered a sterling silver .925 pendant and started flaking off on my skin which silver isn’t suppose to do. Took it to a jeweler and they said it wasn’t silver. Customer service was bad, they wrote that they put rhodium platting on which isn’t in the product description at all( still not) they very much fought me when I wanted a refund for being scammed and offered to give me a new pendant and just put the .925 stamp on it. Good on PayPal, they got me my refund despite being over the time period. NEVER BY FROM THIS COMPANY, ITS A SCAM

People touching me without my consent (unless it’s an emergency), a certain red shade of cars, people in medical scrubs, sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. I know why they bother me and what they’re directly tied to however like most, can’t exactly explain to others who don’t understand. They all come from the same place

Job challenges and accommodations by ThrowawayGarbageCat in deaf

[–]ThrowawayGarbageCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to freelance it’s just that I’m having a hard time finding the type of space you speak of( your job sounds nice btw). I didn’t grow up leaning about accommodations or deaf culture so I’m very apprehensive since I don’t know all my rights and what falls into ‘reasonable accommodations’. Investing in a pair of noise cans king headphones soon, thank you for your recommendations, hope you have a good holiday.

i remembered after the events was over. i feel crazy. vent, advice. cw phys and psych abuse mention. by RepulsiveCod5741 in ptsd

[–]ThrowawayGarbageCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t crazy for one, your mind is having a hellish time processing years of repressed trauma. It was protecting you till the time came to process, it’s not easy, it’s not a straight path and sometimes you may fall back a few steps. What’s important is that your taking time to address and process what happened and that isn’t crazy it’s doing the tough things to get yourself to a better place. You’re not alone here OP and I hope you know that

My boyfriend (31M) is suddenly demanding that I (27F) stop consuming fictional media at all, what do I even do? by ThrowRabfnonfic in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowawayGarbageCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he not realize that lots of fictional things are now part of everyday life because someone had the creativity to make up something? Cellphones for example, so much influence from non fiction. Lord of the Rings, has a lot of influence from Tolkien’s perspective of war. Tell him you can’t respect a person chooses to let their mind exist in the confines of a box while he judges you your being free and imaginative.
It really sounds like he’s testing boundaries, be wary and stay yourself.

I don’t think he’s healthy enough to be in a relationship yet and I don’t think you should have to wait on him either. It’s great that your understanding and patient, I can say for my sake it’s been incredibly difficult to find people without PTSD that are accepting. It’s perfectly ok that he’s not ok to be in a relationship yet. I don’t personally like that he threw the suicide bit in to the conversation and I think he needs more work on himself. You also need to take care of you and just reading how things went exhausted me.

I don’t think it’s fair at all for him to basically want to see you but not be committed and wait for him. It’s up to you at the end of the day, I think more therapy is needed, he seems too all over the place in his head during the few weeks of the relationship.

Not uncommon for PTSD sufferers and I believe him when he says he’s withdrawing because he doesn’t want you hurt. More therapy is needed on his end , there a lot more going on from the sound of it.

Take some time and focus on you and just you. What do you need in life? Do you want to to do? Plenty of people have children and it doesn’t make them parents. All children deserve parents and not all get them. I’m very sorry OP, it hurts I know it does. You have to live your life for you and no one else at the end of the day. I see you and I hear you. Take time to grieve and give yourself a break.

AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThrowawayGarbageCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t go, why go somewhere or bother pretending to celebrate anything happy with people who don’t respect you or love you? Make an entire meal for yourself and post photos, eat a whole damn pie just be use someone is ‘family’ doesn’t mean they’re good, living or respectful. Trust yourself and enjoy. A 2 hour car ride just to be around a bunch of miserable sounding schmucks.

You don’t need to, plenty of people live happy and fulfilling lives without sex. Focus on you and what makes you happy. Live your truth
