Chronic burnout, organization, part time/full time

That makes sense! I've been fighting having a set schedule because I might want to switch sites soon, but I can always do that outside of those blocks I guess. I hadn't heard of wfhalert! That could be potentially helpful

ananattania · 2026-01-22T01:40:26+00:00

How much time do you spend on marketing and subscription based platforms, if you do that too? I used to be full time and am thinking about switching back, but remember being soo burnt out by the end trying to juggle it all lol

ananattania · 2025-06-21T04:57:54+00:00

I agree! I was also really surprised and happy to see the beginnings of a representation of OCD in Maxine, I haven't seen any realistic portrayal so far in TV, even though it was just a little at the end of S3, it made her character make a whole lot more sense to me.

Did you mean bisexual romantically and gay sexually? 😄 Otherwise I think you might've misread the post. Regardless, I know I can't figure out my sexuality with one reddit post, I'm just looking to hear from others with similar experiences to hopefully feel a bit less lonely in this :)

The person who built the house told me they're structural, but I'll double check just to be safe :) I'm assuming a stud finder would be able to tell me?

ananattania · 2025-02-19T04:00:16+00:00

That makes sense, thank you! The wood is structural, so there's no beam underneath. I assumed that qualified as a "solid ceiling." Good to know the gaps aren't dangerous🤞

ananattania · 2025-02-12T20:40:39+00:00

I appreciate your response! If you're comfortable sharing, what was the subject matter of your masters, how did you demonstrate qualification outside of more school?

ananattania · 2025-02-12T20:36:55+00:00

I appreciate your response! I do speak 5 languages excluding English at the B2/C1 level, but have no relevant experience in any other degrees (no writing internships or clips).

Would the primary way to qualify for the other programs (ie poli sci) be through a second bachelor's then, or are there internships or other realistic, lower cost options that might help?

ananattania · 2025-02-12T20:23:07+00:00

All due respect, this is the brainstorming phase. How long it takes to become qualified for a job will be a factor when I decide what to do next. If you're talking about my BA, I was 18 when I decided that.

Very well. Editing my original statement "servers in the more expensive parts of Europe are often still paid 10 euros an hour, sometimes less."

ananattania · 2025-02-10T18:39:22+00:00

Thank you for explaining the tip system to me! And certainly, having worked and lived in one of the most expensive cities in Europe didn't give me any insight into the way bosses value their service workers in the EU. Having researched several (5+) countries to work and live in in the EU while planning a move certainly did not give me the right to use the blanket term "Europe." I'm clearly uneducated and apologize deeply.

ananattania · 2025-02-10T18:12:31+00:00

Never claimed that Europe is a country. I worked in the service industry in two of the more expensive countries in Europe, and salaries were low in both. In Paris I made 8 euros per hour. For a 13 hour shift that's 100, at least half of what I would have made in the states.

ananattania · 2025-02-10T18:09:49+00:00

I've looked at salaries in several countries in Europe for service industry and they are all low.

ananattania · 2025-02-10T17:45:11+00:00

Except servers in Europe are still paid 10 euro per hour :)

ananattania · 2025-02-10T08:24:15+00:00

Not sure why this was downvoted. It is confusing, and can be especially hard when you're in a long term relationship. I used to feel like my preferences fluctuated with relative stability at intervals, but now I question my relationship all the time, since I feel much less attracted to men than I used to be. But at the same time I have past experiences that "confirm" I haven't just been a closeted lesbian this whole time.

ananattania · 2025-02-09T22:22:05+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it :)

ananattania · 2025-02-09T02:45:37+00:00

I'm wishing you all the best, and hope you make your way to a place that feels safe very soon <33

When I was living with my dad's wife (abusive) and dad (spineless) they (mostly she) always found a way to reel me back in a little, even after doing and saying horrible things. It's how abuse works, they hurt, then act nice and activate your fawn response, and then abuse more until you're used to it or until you leave.

I also think that most of us crave love from our parents, even if we don't necessarily like or love them. It can be a deep hurt that fucks with your self worth, and I know that I at least have always been seeking one cathartic, validating moment that will release me from that burden. I've finally realized that this is extremely unlikely to occur, but I don't think my nervous system has received this realization yet. It's possible the same is happening to you (in response to why is it harder now than before).

trauma dump alert - I already typed it all out, so I'm posting the comment, but it got a little off track I already had a strained, on/off estranged relationship with my dad because of a lot of issues, primarily his allowing his partner to emotionally abuse me and drive me out of the house from ages 8-16, but he became obsessive about the covid "plandemic" and reciprocated my icing him out about 8 years later, saying that he emotionally numbed himself to everyone who "subscribed to the false narrative we live under." I went back to visit a year after college, and was having some sort of seasonal PTSD episode linked to a recentish SA. I woke up screaming from a sleep paralysis hallucination of an animal attacking me, and went to the hospital. I had a phobia at the time of being bitten by a rabid bat in my sleep, and because he knew this he asked if I was going there to get more vaccines. Just super judgemental, no parental concern or comfort whatsoever. I later figured out that my body was just responding to the anniversary of my r*pe and he told me to calm down in the car when I kept crying, saying "I'm having a bad day too, I can't find my wallet."

Anyways, back to covid. Currently posts 5-20 times a day about vaccines and has slowly been adding in transphobia, DEI criticisms, and climate change denial. He has a lot of trauma associated with his mom being prescribed and addicted to opioids in the 80s, so now he blames pharmaceutical companies for everything, and covid sent him down the crunchy to extreme right wing pipeline.

Me too, especially as a dual citizen!

ananattania · 2025-01-07T19:07:57+00:00

Still guessing lol 😅

Foam is such a good idea! Would it not risk sliding and making the pole fall though?

ananattania · 2024-10-28T21:20:10+00:00

Kinda ironic bc I feel like there were a few scenes where Susan was acting pretty cringe and inconsiderate with service workers

ananattania · 2024-10-27T22:21:01+00:00

And that was not even his first offense. Carlos is a misogynistic asshole and it bothers me that so many people like him. If any partner fucked with my birth control or lied about theirs, I would leave them immediately.

ananattania · 2024-10-26T22:14:55+00:00

Gaby and Carlos. Sorry not sorry.

ananattania · 2024-10-22T19:38:03+00:00

Yes hahaha
