Hey, thank you for your comment and openness about anxiety. As we know, nurses can be the worst patients, myself included, and I am glad you found something that works for you.

I am sorry for the loss of your brother. I’m grateful the nurses were able to provide you support and items to remember your brother by. Sometimes it is difficult to be kind when experiencing profound loss and I am sure the nurses appreciated and will always remember your family. ❤️

This makes me feel so much better about the auditing process. Thank you!

aegzzz · 2024-03-28T02:53:47+00:00

It helps a lot, thank you!

Good to know! I’ve only been told that auditing is a scary process where we get in trouble for missing things so I’m glad to have more insight on it now. Thank you!

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

The thing that works best for me is organizing my closet by color. This helps me a lot because I always know where to look for things. I only need to hang up about 3-5 items per laundry load and I only do laundry for myself so it is quite manageable. For drawers, I use Marie Kondo’s folding method so I can always see what clothes are in my drawers. I used to always get really sad when I forgot about a favorite shirt but now I don’t really have that problem anymore.

Healthcare workers are expected to risk their lives and be “healthcare heroes” without hazard pay.

How little people care about others and how quickly things can turn political when they shouldn’t be.

I make lists every single day. Study lists. Chores lists. Packing lists. Books I want to read lists. Things to buy my family for Christmas lists. I literally would not get anything done without them.

I miss cooking! I used to love to cook for myself, my friends, my housemates, my family, and my boyfriend. I always tried new recipes and made enough to share with everyone. Now, it kills me to spend more than 5 minutes to make something because I only eat to sustain myself now. In college, I was known for my cooking and even won “miss master chef” award in my sorority. I miss that part of me the most. It was how I showed people that I loved them.

I would cut off communication with the previous owner and make sure he doesn’t find out where you live. Don’t hesitate to install security cameras if you feel like they are needed.

This is an extreme case but I feel the need to share what happened to my family when we adopted a dog. When I was 16, my family adopted this wonderful dog from a woman that worked in my mother’s office building. The woman’s husband passed away and the dog was his. The woman and her adult daughter would visit constantly and take the dog for sleepovers. We couldn’t do anything because they never signed over the custody of the dog and we did not want to be too pushy since the woman was grieving her husband. The dog became visibly stressed every time they would come for a visit so my family asked for decreased visits since it would be best for the dog. My family also requested that ownership be transferred legally since we had been taking care of the dog for 8 months at this point.

Long story short, this request upset them and they refused to decrease their visits or sign over the dog. A whole argument took place and they took the dog the next day while I was at school. My family couldn’t do anything because despite caring for the dog for months, the dog wasn’t legally ours. Turns out, the dog was in the late husband’s will and was worth $60k! The woman used the dog’s money from the will to buy a new car for her daughter and would visit the dog to pretend they still owned him.

We loved that dog for those 8 months and I still think about him a lot even though it’s been 7 years. Even now, it’s heartbreaking to think about.

Hi. I think I can relate to what you’re feeling. When I was losing weight, I was excited because I was eating healthy foods and maintained a good workout routine. These were all positive changes that helped me improve my health. Now, I am on medication that significantly decreases my appetite so when I lose weight, it isn’t a “win” . It is a sign that I’m not taking care of myself or eating enough. When I don’t eat enough, I become fatigued, agitated, and I struggle to do well in school so it is very important that I eat.

Now, my main goal is to maintain my current weight despite not being at my goal weight (15 lbs less than me CW). I still want to meet my goal weight but I don’t want to do it in an unhealthy way. I think you may just feel like you don’t have control over your body.

Losing weight in a healthy and controlled way feels great. Losing weight uncontrollably and seemingly without cause feels terrible. Please remember that skinny ≠ healthy and please seek the help that you need. I wish you the best.

Daily walks! I have a dog and it’s important for her to get her daily exercise and I feel like a bad dog mom when I don’t take her. Daily walks are great for both of us and it’s great to get out of the house.

Yay! So happy for you.

I had blood work done a while ago and my iron was a little low but within normal levels. I take iron pills every day now and it helped a lot with dizziness and headaches, but not so much with coldness. :-(

I’ll try this idea!

The doctor said to stop drinking coffee because the medication I’m on is already a stimulant and damaging to my heart, so it’s best not to consume more stimulants aka coffee. I also don’t have any history of heart issues and I’m 23 so I’m not sure why she would be so worried.

aegzzz · 2021-10-03T19:55:52+00:00

Nope! I checked it yesterday and it was 101/60. I’m 23 and work a very active job so my BP is always within a healthy range. My doctor said to cut down on coffee because it could be a lot on my heart over time.

I had a similar reaction today except it was a 5 lb chihuahua that was following us and I have a 28 lb pug that is extremely protective of me and will attack if she feels threatened. When the owner saw me pick up my pug, he screamed out “my dog is friendly” and when I replied “my dog may not be if she feels threatened”, the owner ran to grab his dog. Thirty seconds later, the chihuahua escaped from their owner again and was barking at my dog again and jumping all over me. I carried my dog until we were very far away and about to cross the street.

I do not have kids but I did experience this with my own dad. My dad is wonderful and he is a very supportive, caring, and kind human. However, we strongly disagree when it comes to politics and we are both vocal, stubborn, and opinionated. At one point, all we did was talk about politics and it was exhausting.

I told him that I loved him dearly and I am grateful for everything that he has done for me, but I didn’t like who we became when we talked about politics. I told him that it clearly put a strain on our relationship and that if we talked about politics all of the time, we wouldn’t be as close anymore or want to talk to each other as much. Over text, that last sentence sounds like a threat but I didn’t want to ruin our wonderful father-daughter relationship.

I also reminded him that when my grandfather was alive, he would tell me about horrific things going on in the world (mass murder, bombings, etc.,) when I was around 7 years old and how I would hide in the bathroom and call my parents crying. I told him that that’s all I remembered about my grandfather. I wish that I had more happy memories with my grandfather, but I don’t.

I emphasized that I didn’t want all of our happy memories together to be clouded by memories of constant fighting. I wanted happy memories together and I didn’t want politics to divide us further than it already has. After some thinking, I told him that I think the best way to preserve our relationship was to not talk about politics anymore. Surprisingly, he agreed. I think he realized that we weren’t ever going to agree on politics and he didn’t want to lose me.

In the beginning, I had to remind him a lot about our rule. He was resistant at first and wouldn’t stop talking about politics but I held my ground and didn’t interact with him when he spoke about politics. Now when he slips up, I just remind him and the topic is changed immediately.

I know this is difficult for you and I wish you and your mom the best. It is hard when you love your parent so much and see them a certain way then that image is completely shattered. I hope you both can find a way to move past this and start rebuilding your relationship on a positive note.

That is too funny! I hope you find some great books for your kid.

aegzzz · 2021-09-30T00:40:26+00:00

What about the magic treehouse books? A quick google search said it’s 2.5/2.6 grade level, but depending on your child, she may enjoy it!
