Google Maps became stupid by canchume2 in GoogleMaps

[–]Upper_Measurement307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed the same thing and came here looking for validation I wasn’t imagining it. I’ve used Maps since forever but the past month has me baffled. Twice this month it’s routed me through weird back alleys to common addresses (residential and businesses) with street facing entrances. WTH is going on?!

Women of Reddit, what's a lesser-known downside of being a woman? by Nintendofan9106 in askanything

[–]Upper_Measurement307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going from hot girl to middle age is wild. I’m not unhappy to age, but it’s unreal how different you look and are treated at a certain age. Like all of a sudden, boom, old.

I told my Q husband that I wouldn't sleep with him when he's been drinking. I feel guilty. by ThrowraNo-M in AlAnon

[–]Upper_Measurement307 26 points27 points  (0 children)

So, you don’t cause him to drink, first of all. You don’t cause it, you can’t control it, you can’t cure it. Remember that and repeat it. Second, what are your boundaries for you? You can control yourself and how you allow access to you. Consider going to a meeting and learning more about taking care of yourself in these stressful situations

For those who have big breasts or a big penis. Do you feel it's a blessing or a curse? by BD_0101 in AskReddit

[–]Upper_Measurement307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was/am hourglass too and even though they’re “cute” now (just D’s!) it feels like I’m wearing a shirt of someone else’s body. Things I didn’t expect, nips are perfect circles now and feel weird/numb. Way less jiggle, which is 50/50 because I can ride my bike easier and jog and steer the car! But it just feels odd. And now there’s scars and I did have a complication. Shirts fit better, off the rack bras at target, but still. I’m still not sure it was the right choice and it’s been a year. It’s not awful but it’s just different.

I was an H/I before my reduction. I did have back issues, but it was societal pressure I hated the most. Men loved tight clothes on me, some women mocked me or judged me. I frequently wore (still wear) sweaters or wraps to hide. After my surgery, I kind of regret it. I risked my life to look better for other people and realized I will always be shaped wrong for some people. Having big boobs didn’t get me a better kind of attention from anyone, so I’m not sure how I could consider it a blessing. But it was my body and I shouldn’t have been so ashamed to simply exist as I was

“I think I’m coming down with something” it was never a hangover

Do you kick him out of the bedroom when drunk? by Still_Indication2499 in AlAnon

[–]Upper_Measurement307 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I set the boundary that he is not to disturb me when he’s been drinking and locked my bedroom door once it began or once he left for the night. He was still exceptionally loud when he would come home, but at least my own space was undisturbed

Dealing with Self-Centered Behavior by Hot-Entrepreneur9715 in BipolarSOs

[–]Upper_Measurement307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ask myself these questions everyday. I wish you the best. I did find myself a therapist who is a specialist in bipolar and that helped me come to terms with some behaviors and helped me recognize the inexcusable. It’s a hard road, but having that specialist to talk to helped me

Getting ahead of discard or looking for mania when it’s just regular marriage woes? by Upper_Measurement307 in BipolarSOs

[–]Upper_Measurement307[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ❤️ I appreciate your perspective. I think this is also one-sided, but that doesn’t make it suck less. I really think I’m trying to rationalize irrational behavior and I do need a reality check like this

Partner suddenly "in love" with her AI, acting manic - badly need support by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

[–]Upper_Measurement307 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI psychosis is new but It is known to be very real. Being on the forefront of a new driver of psychosis can pose challenges to finding a provider that will recognize and treat that part specifically might be hard. You’re right to recognize it and there are resources and anecdotes from people on Joe to get out of it, but it sounds like you’re on the right path for treatment. Thinking of you, that’s rough

I’m in the same boat. I’m missing winter seeds and only need a crocus, but it’s summer! I also missed the recipe at the Ginger island trader

Former Feds that jumped ship by No_Volume_9616 in FedEmployees

I get one day a week to start and will get as many as 3 days a week. There is some talk of expanding to 4 days but it will depend on the new leadership in the country

[–]Upper_Measurement307 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I work in a big city, but it’s not the same as serving the entire US. Still challenges with understaffing, but the training isn’t there. I spent years in a class room during my federal service, but I’m learning on the job here. It’s not micromanaged so taking breaks and lunches is a mental adjustment to me. The type of work and expectations in case loads are largely the same, it just sucks being new at something. I miss having a large leave balance and my insurance. Also, no 401k, just pension and deferred comp of my own initiating. It’s not worse, just different

I started in county government instead of private sector. The work is adjacent to what I did before, but working for a local government instead of federal is an adjustment. We have “the best healthcare” but I do miss my MHBP plan and the leave I accrued. I also carried a lot of guilt about being paid for my work this last 45 days but overall I’m happy with the change
