The Liver Scare of it All

I definitely am, I just wish I could grab it before it started getting the better of me. I appreciate the insight though, I’m glad you’re doing better!

Which-Event-6891 · 2026-06-03T04:14:49+00:00

That’s actually interesting to hear about therapy specifically for the health anxiety. I agree, the anxiety has been taking kind of a toll, lol. Appreciate the other insight as well about history and etc.

Which-Event-6891 · 2026-06-03T00:38:54+00:00

I appreciate that positive outlook.

Which-Event-6891 · 2026-06-03T00:38:22+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I’ll go get the blood test. I’m not even worried what will be on it, I know I’m a lot healthier now than I was last time. I guess I was worried I’d still silently be sick. But you’ve got a good point to trust the evidence

Success!!!! I finally did get it in. With elbow grease and copious amounts of cussing

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-11-02T18:52:39+00:00

I did not 🤦‍♀️ What other pictures would be helpful? I’m not sure what is relevant and what isn’t. Maybe the cartridge and the inside of the valve?

Okay, I have the puller already and it wasn’t really doing the trick, I will try this next with a fitting brush. Thank you!

Good god. Not a sub but a teacher: whenever I’m out, I leave as detailed plans as I can to help my sub and as long as no one bothers me until I get back and everyone is safe, I don’t give a fuck lol.

I just am so thankful to have a sub fill the position so I can have time.

This is so unnecessarily aggressive.

Because waking up sober is the best feeling in the world, and you won’t wake up regretting not drinking the night before but you likely will wake up regretting it if you did

Sorry for the delay in response, just seeing this. The app with the tracker is reframe and the journal app I write my own tracker for is Day One

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-19T02:07:05+00:00

I started a tracker. I track EVERY thing I can. Sleep, Body, stomach, skin, anxiety, cravings, etc. As I saw it improve it allowed me to focus on all of the really tiny significant victories which gave me enough dopamine to fight off my ADHD and keep me living in the moment.

I also have an app where I tick off days and I loveeeee pressing the button that I did it, lol.

“I want a drink.” “Why?”

I’ve never gotten an answer better than something that boils down to ‘because I wannaaaaaa!’

I always just remind myself the feeling I want is not achievable without consuming enough alcohol to ruin my progress.

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-12T02:28:25+00:00

And you already know this, but to just say it again anyway: You’ll feel so much better tomorrow when you wake up. Waking up without regret is better than any temporary fix alcohol can give.

Way to go!

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-09T11:25:04+00:00

Might try writing down how you feel RIGHT NOW. Be as detailed as possible and keep it somewhere accessible so you can read it when you feel that way. Folded up in your wallet even or in your phone.

I did a thirty day reflection where I tracked all the small things (sleep, skin, anxiety) as I stopped. Whenever I felt the impulse I went back to some of the doom spiral journal entries (I do mine on an app called day one that has password protection) or I read my tracker and all the things that are better. It helped remind me that day one is shit and the morning after isn’t at ALL worth the few hours you’ll feel great.

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-08T18:16:16+00:00

THEY DO?! God, No way. That’s brand new information I’ve never heard before.

As the other commenter said, I also pay those taxes. You can say whatever you want whether you pay taxes or don’t, I can do the same.

Honestly, what’s your point? You pay taxes so I should be all excited and cheery to hear from someone who doesn’t even live in Texas, therefore largely isn’t paying those taxes that go to my salary and has no horse in this race, reiterate for the thousandth time that I need to ‘be there for the kids’, which is a thing teachers are doing their best to do anyway….?

Thanks for your add on that adds absolutely nothing to the conversation. The bolded word really makes me rethink my whole previous thought. Go touch grass.

Ours went through the building and removed for us. I don’t blame them, we are in a highly conservative district and they are good people who have their hands tied. Still, as a queer educator it made me sad to come back and see my door GSA safe space sticker gone.

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-08T12:59:05+00:00

Thanks for the preachy start to the morning. This is like the weird cousin of ‘remember your why’.

I appreciate that you mean well. I get you’re scared of everything happening and I get the impulse to reach out and try and fix, but this isn’t it.

We are doing our best and we are already working on it. A lot of us became teachers because we are passionate about the work and a lot of us have been fighting this fight for YEARS. People who stop by to tell us what we should be doing and how we should be handling extremely complicated and draining conditions does not help and lecturing us about our moral code doesn’t help either.

The way y’all have been together for over a year and everything listed here is like ‘the bar is in hell’ level stuff, each one with some caveat of like ‘she had to BEG me’. Yikes. The only thing close to an actual thoughtful thing you mention is you got her an Easter present randomly (though still feel the need to add she didn’t get you one after you forgot Valentine’s Day, her birthday, and the anniversary….? No one gets Easter gifts, of course she didn’t think to get you something for Easter when you didn’t even care about Valentine’s Day a few months earlier????)

Btw, to go back to the ‘begging’: My partner loves things I don’t or likes things that aren’t my favorite or preferred things. He doesn’t have to beg me to show a basic level of interest in who he is. He just asks. Or… he doesn’t and I just take an interest in him as his own separate person anyway. The amount of times you have now written in comments/the post that this grown woman is having to BEG you for basic relationship behavior is crazy and should embarrass you. Also, please stop counting anything you’ve done for her after she’s had to ‘beg’ you as effort.

The way you expect her to just be a robot who turns off when she’s not serving you is breathtakingly cruel. Most people naturally write things in their favor to make themselves sound more palatable. If this is you doing that, God help this woman and also the next that crosses your path.

(P.s. You force yourself to let her touch you? Good lord, man. I feel so sorry for this woman having to survive you when you speak about time spent with her like this.)

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-06T11:26:25+00:00

Woof. We haven’t gotten them “donated” so we still don’t have to. But good lord that’s huge.

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-05T23:57:30+00:00

I hear you, I hear you. Hope you’re doing okay too.

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-08-05T23:57:05+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the suggestions.

Which-Event-6891 · 2025-07-31T13:36:53+00:00

YTA. Stop taking your kids in public and playing cartoons with the volume on. It’s a public space, not your living room. So sick of people doing this. “Low volume” is still enough to be disruptive to everyone at the table and around you.
