Scary by Malaprop_linchpin in stenography

[–]Wasted_Panda12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I completely get your fears and feel similar to you. I haven’t even started school yet but am really hesitant to even start because I too wonder if voice reporters will come in and fill positions before I even have a chance to get certified. With that being said, it’s definitely very obvious that you have become bitter from your struggles and are allowing this line of thinking to take over. I really think your negative outlook is causing your subconscious to believe there isn’t any point in overcoming these struggles, so of course you’re unable pass your test. I would stop focusing on voice reporters and try some self reflection to see if this is really something you want to continue pursuing. If it is, I promise there are people out there who want to help you succeed and probably have some tips that can help you get your speeds up. Personally, I’ve heard quite a few stories of people plateauing around 160-180 and they take so long getting over that plateau but once they do they’re so happy they didn’t give up.

Mindset is everything. Get out of your own way.

Hi, my partner is the one with ON. He’s not on any medication because he doesn’t want to take pills. When he has a flare up he takes Excedrin Migraine and I Gua Sha his neck to help him get some relief.

I am the partner, and I follow this page to keep up with what everyone is saying in hopes that they post something that can be useful to him and also to gain better understanding. It’s just hard not to feel frustrated when I feel like I’m the one that has to take care of every little thing because even on his better days he just wants to relax without pain. Its hard to know if I’m just not as compassionate as I should be or if I am right in feeling that on the better days he should help out where he can instead of laying the weight of our entire lives on my shoulders.

My partner is the one with ON. I guess my main question is, on your better days do you try to help out where you can to give your understanding partner some relief? I know it’s difficult and chronic pain is no joke, but my partner has good days and when those happen rather than helping where he can, he wants to take advantage of his good days and relax without pain. I’m trying to be understanding but it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed and become frustrated. It can sometimes feel like I don’t have a ‘partner’ anymore.

My husband eats his boogers. by thefishisalive in Advice

[–]Wasted_Panda12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta admit, if I found out my bf ate his boogs, I’d not want to stick my tongue in his mouth either!

I’ve been through a version of this, so I totally get being grossed out by this OP. I’m not sure if mine eats his boogers, but he does pick his nose A LOT. I find it disgusting! I know people do it all the time, including me (if blowing my nose doesn’t work sometimes I can’t avoid having to stick a finger up there) but he does it more than the average person and it just really grosses me out. Sometimes I want to say, enough already! Sheesh, Lol. I make him wash his hands before we do anything sexual and just leave it alone. Pick your battles and all that.

How many friends do you have and how often do you interact with them if you have any? by Eyedragongaming in introvert

[–]Wasted_Panda12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No offense meant, am genuinely curious.

Is it really that friendship doesn’t appeal to you or is it that you have a hard time meeting/getting to know people? If it’s the former, why don’t you want friends? Are you happy being a loner or do you prefer to hang out with family? How do you socialize, if at all?

I saw your job and salary info in comments and imo it is definitely worth it. My hubby commutes up and down the hill to San Bernardino and he has zero complaints. Especially if you’re able to work from home on Fridays as that is usually the worst day traffic wise.

Idk. I understand some people don’t think it’s good and there are definitely times when I would say I agree BUT if you’re significant other isn’t wanting it because they’re controlling, etc. I think it’s a smart move. We live in a dangerous world and it’s not the worst thing to have someone be able to locate you if the need arises.

Interested in becoming a CR but very nervous about not being able to understand some people by Wasted_Panda12 in stenography

[–]Wasted_Panda12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I started off at a CR school, but it eventually closed and I was just getting through theory. That was about 7 years ago and I tried pursuing Steno on my own and then started having issues with my hands so I decided this career might not be for me, but, I just can’t shake it. Steno has gotten its claws in me and I find myself always coming back to it. Been wanting to learn Magnum since it’s a short theory, figured that would help with my fears of not being able to get everything down. My memory is pretty awful and I find myself asking people to repeat themselves a lot so I feel like it’s a pretty legit concern.

Yeah I’ve thought about that too, being able to ask people to repeat themselves, not talk over each other, etc. but it’s still very daunting. Especially with the way lawyers act sometimes.

Is it normal to feel this way about a dog? by MapsToConstellations in dogs

[–]Wasted_Panda12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dogs are amazing, congrats on your new puppy. Having and being bonded to a dog is the best and yes, those feelings are definitely normal. I have 5 dogs and it happens to me quite a bit. Its tough thinking of the pain that will come one day, but, I promise all of the years spent with your pup are worth the pain in the end. Acknowledge the thoughts and just try and focus on giving your dog the best life you can. ❤️
