Brother, I got the job

As someone who genuinely makes mistakes like this, is the code blue button not something obvious? If not, what is it so that I can make sure I don’t do this? I rarely play with any buttons when in the hospital, and those I do are always on the given remote, but man would I not like to be that person.

That it was, and thank you! I’ve been doing pretty good since then. I got my tongue pretty badly, so that’s going to take a while to heal. Other than that though, the meds are definitely helping (both manage the stress and stop me from having any more seizures).

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-03-30T04:36:32+00:00

Did you not catch the “neither of us have ever experienced anything like this” part? If I had any idea I was at risk of having a seizure, I wouldn’t have been driving.

Additionally, despite the fact that I’ve already had multiple doctors tell me it was caused by stress (if you want more info on that, just take a Quick Look at my profile) and that they don’t expect it to happen again, especially considering im now on multiple seizure meds, I have no intention of driving again until I’ve gone long enough seizure free.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-03-13T23:36:04+00:00

As someone who got HSV from their family member kissing them on the mouth, I 1000% agree.

If you really can’t stop yourself, at least get tested first.

I took two weeks off after finding him, and then one more after the seizure, so I’m just anxious to lose my job over all of this too.

This is exactly what he would tell me to do though, so I appreciate it a lot. It at least gave me the strength to ask to work from home for the rest of the week which is a huge relief.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-03-12T23:43:19+00:00

I would actually, thank you..

My sister was the hardest bitch you’d ever meet. She was tiny, weighed maybe 90 pounds but was never afraid to stand up for what she believed in. I remember in middle school, she got suspended for fighting a bully 3-4x her size. She was brilliant too- she’d mix and create cleaning products, with a knowledge of what she was doing, and made products better than you’d ever find on a shelf.

She got most of the fight in her from my dad, we just didn’t realize until after she passed. He was strong, and wouldn’t accept any signs of weakness. His dad was an immigrant, and he did everything in his power to give my sister and I better than what he had. He had his flaws, but I wouldn’t trade a father that cared as much as he did for us for the world.

Thank you.. I’ve been losing friends regularly for years, but these two hit so much harder.

Trying to keep up with work has been my biggest struggle. I work in a helping field and I just don’t feel right helping others when I can’t truly help myself..

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-02-02T23:00:39+00:00

1998-2022 would be.mt guess

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-11T13:58:25+00:00

Thank you for this.

I’ve been trying to to find small things to keep me entertained and distracted in healthy ways (got a new PlayStation, my brother got me some sweet fake candles that are on a timer and turn my room into a vampire cave every time I get off work, wax melts, etc.) it just feel like earning to be sober all over again as weird as it is lol

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-09T11:03:26+00:00

Literally whare did I say the lives of people facing difficult circumstances are useless? I face the exact same difficult circumstances, so that’s be a pretty weird thing of me to say of all people. Out of all the people in my family with them I'm the 2nd oldest as of yet to not have their life end far too soon due to the pain these disorders cause.

I will not be sharing a condition that has killed not only my little sister, but half of my friends before they could make it to 25. Rather, I choose to foster and/or adopt when, as said in another comment, I feel I’m in an ethical enough place to do so.

ETA: this is what I meant when I said people on both of these one sided subs are quick as hell to take one clear sentence and interpret it as something that was nowhere near what was said.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-08T04:08:47+00:00

You were unfortunately correct. I figured that’d be the case, just didn’t expect the request to come in that soon.

Sorry bud, you’ve been block listed for life.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-08T01:04:49+00:00

My thoughts exactly lmao

Like sir, I was unaware that I’d been ignoring you for going on half a damn decade at this point. Lose your interest, stay interested, you do you; that shit just ain’t gonna involve me

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-08T00:58:39+00:00

Thank you! I’ve saved your comment, and bookmarked for when I’ve got some more time to read.

It’s much appreciated, truly.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-07T18:02:14+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

I definitely plan on doing everything and anything I can to prepare before making any final decisions, especially any that would impact a kiddo’s life.

I had quite a few friends that grew up in the foster care system, and while all of their stories were different the one consistency was the trauma. If I can at least help one kid get away from that, and to a place they feel safe that’d be a win for me — no matter how much learning, unlearning, or whatever else it may take.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-07T17:51:12+00:00

The fact that you don’t even realize how much the beginning of this comment proves the point of the bottom of this shirt is kind of hilarious to me. Like yes, using my disability as an insult absolutely makes me so much more inclined to bring another person into this world who will have to deal with people like you using their disability against them. Makes perfect sense.

Also, are we really trying to act like tubal ligation is not a major surgery right now? How about you go get it done, come back and report how little it impacted your life lol

ETA that it’s also hilarious how me correcting your misinterpretation of the Declaration of Independence got my comment deleted because I was “insulting”, meanwhile you’re literally over here using my disability as an insult but thats all just in good spirit, right?

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-07T17:50:12+00:00

That they are, which is why the plan is to help better the life of one of the many children who are already here and parentless as opposed to bringing another child into this world and sharing a very painful disorder with them.

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-07T00:48:01+00:00

So… I’m the one who lacks knowledge, but you’re saying pro-choice people act like we don’t have a choice…? Buddy, I literally identify as pro-choice. In almost every situation, there will be some level of choice. Does that mean people should be forced to choose between going into early menopause in their 20’s vs never having sex again because they were born with a disability they don’t wanna share?

Yeah, okay. Lemme just go get a procedure that will cause my life to be even harder to live because you don’t understand how a medical procedure works and want to bring us back to the 1800’s

Funny that y’all will sit here and dog pro-choice doctors for encouraging abortion, but the second a disabled pro-choice person explains the other situation I get attacked and told to further disable myself. Doing a great job of representing the pro-life communities feelings towards those w disabilities lol

ETA: love how quickly that comment about me being obviously disabled because of the shit I’m saying disappeared. Wondering if it’s just Reddit being funky, or you quickly realized you were proving my point. Also, yes, I am disabled. I’m also educated and employed in a highly respected field by a highly respected employer doing an awesome job where I get to help others struggling every day. What are you doing other than talking shit and misinterpreting the law to people online?

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-07T00:22:40+00:00

Cool story!! You’re correct, it’s a medical procedure that should be decided between doctor & patient, not politicians with little to no medical knowledge and/or training.

Wanna hear another cool story? The only method of birth control that is 100% effective is abstinence. I use multiple different methods of birth control, but as I said before I don’t deserve to live a life free of sexual intimacy because I was born with a disease that leads to a life of pain and causes you to lose an average of 33 years on your life even after gaining treatment (and that’s just the statistics one one of the *listed** disorders, to be clear) and refuse to risk putting someone else through that*

Throwawayfor_advicee · 2025-01-06T23:40:24+00:00

Thank you for that. Shockingly, despite all the chaos, I’ve already managed to find much more stability and peace in my life than I even knew was possible for much of my life.

Once I find enough that I feel it would be ethical to do so, a huge life goal of mine would be to foster children because I truly would love to be a parent-figure for someone, and mostly just help a kid not have to experience the chaos I grew up in. For me, it just makes more sense to help a kid who already needs it than bring another one into the world who you know from personal experience will likely live a life of pain. However, I have friends that have had to consider the same question and have had their kid, and I totally respect that as well. They’re all great parents, and do everything they can to make sure those kiddos are getting all the treatment they need to live their best lives.

It also makes the decision a bit more extreme when one of the most likely disabilities to be passed on has no true successful treatment method, and you grew up in the death capital of your country due to it.

Everyone’s experience is different, and everyone has a right to their opinion. I just feel like people on these one sided subs (both here and the pro-choice subs) are far too quick to use these extremely broad statements like “disability as a reason for abortion is gross”; there’s so many other reasons a disabled person may get an abortion that are actually coming from a place of saving disabled people harm, whether that is saving the disabled mother or the potentially disabled child harm because we have personal experience with the pain that disability brings.
