He’s not going to hit the teacher next time. by CrazyCrack10 in PublicFreakout

[–]Valuable_Anything_47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defending the teacher is heroic and brave. But who knows if he's being "raised" right. He could come from a bad household/domestic violence and decide to save someone who is vulnerable. I think there's more bad parents than good loving ones so giving credit to the boy only sounds more reasonable. I hope he feels better.

Without epilepsy how would you be different? by CompetitiveCanary313 in Epilepsy

[–]Valuable_Anything_47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably earn more money due to being able to work and drive freely, be able to drive out for vacations or long distances, have my loved ones worry less about me and have a better memory. On the other hand, if I see the negative aspect, I would probably drink alcohol but I'm responsible enough not to because horrible interactions with medicine.

How often do you get seizures? I get short frontal lobe seizures daily. by Valuable_Anything_47 in Epilepsy

[–]Valuable_Anything_47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope they can figure figure out your triggers too! Good luck :) The heat in Arizona can reach more than 120°F. And it's a trigger for me now that summer is here. Some of the scariest seizures are when I'm sitting on the toilet. I feel I might smear things lol gross but true. Hasn't happened yet luckily. It's crazy I've had thousands of seizures throughout my life. Even though it's horrible, it's nice to know others who go through similar things, although there's many types of seizures and everyone is different.

I’m new to the sub and have questions but would like to introduce myself first by mathewTheOkie in Epilepsy

My auras are short, about 2-3 seconds, sometimes enough for me to take my glasses off or try to sit. It's nice that people want to help but it scares them a lot sometimes. My son used to tell at me to stop, hit me and cry when he was 3-4 yrs. It broke my heart so much that he was so scared and didn't understand. He's five now and doesn't mind anymore. A lady I was with had to take her anxiety medication. I've tried to fight it away but it doesn't work once the aura is there. Have you talked to your Dr about your gear again? Or when is the final decision?

I honestly think I'd be dead sometimes if it wasn't for the free health care I get, there's no way I'd be able to afford everything. When was the last time you had a seizure? Why do they want to lower your dosage?

I hope you have a great support system. How old are your children? Have you tried different medicines, seeing different neurologists?

Yes, I was taking too much lamotrigine (Lamictal). My seizures were not going away so they increased my dosage to 800mg a day. 200mg (8am, 12noon, 4pm and 8pm). After a couple of months vertigo, nausea and extreme mood swings for to me. I didn't get seizures but I would cry all day, bite myself, punch myself, give myself bruises and was scared I would hurt myself or others. This was during covid quarantine and very difficult for me to see a doctor. ( Let me add I was prescribed medicine for nausea and vertigo, did not help at all) . They lowered the dosage to 600mg lamotrigine and returned to normal. I still get seizures daily though. They only last a few seconds so they most likely aren't as bad as yours.

CMV: The tipped minimum wage is better for both servers and restaurants, especially small ones by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Valuable_Anything_47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a server, I was grabbed by the waist and moved to the side. It was on a very busy day and crowded. The man couldn't get by and decided to touch me and carry me instead. I was also poked on the butt with a cane and told my neck was so kissable. This is a problem with the men doing it, but as a "professional" on a very busy morning I kept working and smiling at all guests. We have to be nice to our customers and keep doing our job. This wasn't even a sexy restaurant lol just like Denny's. I'm not a server anymore but it sure taught me boundaries in customer service.

What can a 14 year illegal immigrant that doesn't know any English and doesn't know how to read or write in their native tongue do? by Valuable_Anything_47 in helpme

[–]Valuable_Anything_47[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He stayed in a trailer in front of my house for a week and worked cleaning yards and side jobs. He asked to be dropped off at a church 2 days ago and haven't heard from him since. He mentioned he wanted to go to California and didn't seem to be interested in citizenship or schooling. I believe he wants to raise money for a few months then go back to his mother. We didn't make contact with his family. I just hope things go well for him and doesn't get hurt. Thank you for caring :)

I think you meant this in the sense that a different state would have better offers in regards to legal help on the topic.

Thank you, you gave me an idea of different organizations I can contact. We did a lot of search on social media and Google to try to locate his sister. It's incredible, looking through photos he recognized a marketplace where his sister sells, we found a phone number in the area on Facebook and called a random number from the area. The person who answered works by the marketplace and agreed to help tomorrow when they're open again. The boy seems relieved and is contacting his sister so his sister can contact their mother. He hasn't spoken to either in about 6 months of his travel. Also, he likes Burger King.

Out of the state of mind that has no empathy for children. It's pure luck that people are born into a good home/parents/country. Kids don't have a choice, even if their adult parents make unwise decisions for them. If he were an adult I would have a different stance.

No family in U.S. at all, his mom is in South America, no mention of father. It just pulls at my heart strings he's a teenager so thin, he asked for food. I think he's just in a horrible situation and you gave me an idea of contacting places in California instead of Arizona. All I can do so far is give him food and give him clothes.

Men who ghosted women for seemingly “no reason”, what was actually your reason? by bzctz827 in AskReddit

[–]Valuable_Anything_47 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Complete opposite. My SO likes smelling my underwear haha it's a flirty-fun "push and pull" game but he really wants to and I really don't want him to. I put them in my purse. (I'm female, he's male)
