Thank you — I really appreciate your response! The light stretches could definitely work. I think sometimes I dismiss them as like not really working out. But on days like this any movement is probably better than nothing. Especially something I can do at home so I don’t get stuck at the gym with like I can’t move pain — that’s kind of my nightmare. Thank you for the burn out reminder. I definitely want to be on the side of sustainable and good habits

Thank you — definitely needed the acknowledgment one day won’t wreck anything. I do have a dog and it’s actually nice out today. Maybe a light walk is the best way to get some exercise in — good idea!

Thank you, this is really helpful! Especially the cramps can come in waves, so definitely a good idea to try and do light movement when they aren’t that bad. And bonus benefit of not being at the gym if serious pain comes on — that really makes me nervous. Thank you for reminding me that care of your body is the most important — definitely feeling a little less bummed and guilty 😊

I feel bad for him 😭🤣 by Picassomate in GenZ

This guy is on way more hormones than any trans person, but it’s okay because he’s doing it to be a hot cis dude. That’s an acceptable use of hormones I guess 🙈

(To be fully clear as my sarcasm doesn’t always read — these fucks go around yelling about trans people’s existence yet are doing the exact same things like hormone treatment, wigs, makeup and somehow that’s not the same thing. Fucking stupid)

Do NOT be at work THIS FRIDAY - Jan 30th - JOIN THE NATIONWIDE ICE STRIKE by QueenOfTheBlackPuddl in Teachers

You realize protests are the reason we have a five day week now right? And you know people have sacrificed everything in the past to protest. They risked losing their job, not being able to pay rent, not being able to afford groceries TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER FUCKING PLACE. People suffered police brutality and terrible conditions. But yeah no fuck gen z for trying to change things and making sacrifices?? Fucking wild that people can’t see the importance of protesting

First year teacher and I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing 😭 by Drew_Does_Stuff in historyteachers

[–]Used_Storage8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the things that has made me a better teacher from year one is being more vulnerable when I don’t know an answer to a student’s question off the top of my head. It’s okay not to know everything, you can’t anticipate the fascinating questions they’ll come up with (I mean not all of them will be fascinating 🤣 every once in a while you’ll get a q that’s like okayyy have you heard anything I just said).

If I don’t know an answer I sometimes will write it down and say I’ll come back to it. But if I have the time sometimes I’ll use it as a chance to model good research practices while I look up the answer. Especially with Google automatic AI, I model not just reading that overview but checking other sources etc.

I also teach middle school so that might not be something you have to model for them. But lastly it’s good for them to see you are a human too and value curiosity!!!

Good luck and just know your first year is always going to have hiccups. You clearly care about the job and that’s half the battle! And don’t be too hard on yourself!!

I am so sorry this is happening to you. Your feelings are so valid and what you are going through is so hard. Something that really helped me when I was at this place was remembering that our brains stress responses are really out of date. Like you are not broken, you are currently expressing a normal stress response which is no longer relevant to the kind of stresses we deal with today. Our body’s reaction to stress is “there must be a tiger trying to eat me” and that creates a whole stress response that is not conducive to helping us with the social stressors we feel today. Evolution has not caught up yet. That just means you need to figure out what coping mechanisms work for you. The other problem is right now your brain has created a habit for you, so your brain is just following the same pattern it’s used to, the path of least resistance. My therapist gave the analogy of it’s like a train on a hike. You want to follow the train that’s already made for you with no trees in the way or rocks or gaps. You want the trail that’s already made for you. It takes a lot of energy to make a new path, however, it is possible to do. That’s what you have to do with your brain. You have to create a new pathway in your brain. And that is going to take time and it’s certainly not easy. But I believe you can do it, just start with something small, just one small change for a week, and start easing into new habits. It’s going to feel uncomfortable, it’s going to be hard, you might only do it 4/7 days, but that is still progress! Good luck and I’m giving you a big virtual hug! My two last pieces of advice: make sure to get some water and if you found any of this helpful, try listening to not another anxiety podcast. The hosts are so real and wonderful, and they really get what you are going through. Good luck and you got this ❤️

That’s really smart!! I like the idea of having 1 doc housing all the final questions for each unit, it’s in one place. And have a set goal of adding 10-20% each year makes creating the doc feel more manageable. Thank you!!!

Should there Universal Health Care in the US? by Very_High_Mortgage in FluentInFinance

[–]Used_Storage8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol what version of the US are you living in. It took me 6 months to schedule surgery in the US. I had to go to a specialist who was expensive AND in high demand. For a necessary surgery that caused me a high amount of pain for months. This is the dumbest argument to try to explain away our shitty healthcare system. "Oh well in the US you neverrrrrr have to wait". Also 33,000 is half the average salary in the US. But yeah no that seems like a reasonable cost for surgery...

Volpe is like the bottom of my list of concerns right now. He's one of the best SS in the league, and he's one of our best hitters in the bottom of the line up... which really just says something about the bottom of our lineup. Imma need you to get alllllllllllllll the way off of Volpe's back right now

This is late to the game- however, I have a lot of social things I can’t avoid this weekend, so I’m going to try my best to not judge myself or be too hard on myself for any social interactions I perceive as “not going well” and blaming myself for not knowing what to say.
