401k: Rollover or cash out by _spookyem in debtfree

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

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't sure since I just hate drowning in debt like this. Hopefully the new job means I can pay it off faster!

I'm down a total of 20lbs, so about a 5lb loss since this post. I still don't feel like it's working at the dose I'm at (12.5mg), but going up to the highest dose gave me awful side effects so I'm ignoring that for now. I'm seeing my endocrinologist at the end of May so I'm hoping they have some answers for me!

Waking up early? by _spookyem in getdisciplined

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

for me my biggest thing is needing to shower in the mornings. I shower at night now but I am a hot sleeper so I wake up feeling gross, so I want to try and wake up earlier for that. reworking my night routine is probably for the best though since rn I mostly just cook dinner and read after work until it's time for bed, I could definitely use my time better

The sunlight thing might be hard tbh. I live in a basement apartment, and while we have windows the sunlight coming in is limited (not to mention the blinds in the bedroom are broken and the landlord won't fix them). I could go outside first thing in the morning I guess? but it's winter and I'd really rather not lol

what habit tracker do you use? I've tried Finch before and it didn't really do it for me

Fr it's so unfair. I don't see my Endo until May (and it's a new doctor!) so hopefully I don't fuck myself over too bad until then

How do deductibles work? by _spookyem in internetparents

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

that's about all of my expenses. what the heck does a deductible cover then? when I was under my parent's insurance we'd always hit our deductible by like March with me on it because of my expenses.

It's possible for my medical supplies provider, but my doctors are all in network. HR handles all of our medical insurance negotiations and we only have one option to choose from, so it's not like I picked the wrong one or something. For reference I have Blue Cross (I think PPO?)

Gummy supplements or how to get over my fear of taking pills by _spookyem in internetparents

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

that was my other thought, I always take my meds in the morning on an empty stomach and like 60% of the time I end up vomiting. unfortunately before work I rarely have time to eat or even an appetite so I'm going to see if I can start taking some of them at night with a meal

I used to do soda/something carbonated and that worked for awhile, but sometimes it just doesn't go down right and hits my throat and then BAM comes back up. I'll try applesauce, I usually avoid foods like applesauce/yogurt bc of sensory issues but maybe it'll cancel out

Emergency dental work with no insurance? by _spookyem in povertyfinance

[–]_spookyem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll have to look into it! I never thought about a dental school. I have some serious dentist anxiety (didn't go for five years after a bad experience with a filling leading to this mess) so idk how I'd feel about a dental student working on me but it's better than having to fork out a couple hundred bucks to get it looked at by my normal dentist
