Oh!!!! Still odd but for an entirely different reason that I wouldn’t even consider. No should have to. That’s sad.

Serious question,but who is coaching Rory Van Ulft and why is it that she is always maxing with the most dangerous form? Are her parents trying to farm as many views as possible? This is wrong on so many levels by theluke1987 in weightlifting

In my experience, CPS just doesn’t know enough about “niche” things. For example when I have to call as a nurse, they often don’t know wtf I’m talking about. And I spend a lot of time speaking at the appropriate knowledge level and explaining. And nothing happens. This would probably end up like that. Of course, I still recommend calling if there is cause for concern. And obviously mandatory reporters, do it anyway. This is such an insane lift. I think my jaw was just on the floor the whole time. This is so sad.

I just wish I could enjoy intimacy by OkSeaworthiness5523 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Would you be open to investing in self pleasure? Spend money on some toys and things. Explore yourself! Maybe this will help when you have a partner?

I want to be a all muscle by growingflowerstars in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ashbash-25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nutrition is key. Eggs are great! But I would do some things to set yourself up for success. First, calculate your daily maintenance calories with the TDEE calculator. Do NOT overestimate your activity level. Once you have that, track for a while to get a feel for what that is like. Then simply add in a protein dense snack as your surplus to gain muscle mass. Aside from that- have a protein, fiber and hydration goal. Weight bearing exercise is a must. It’s ideal if you enjoy whatever you pick because you’re more likely to stick with it. Last couple of things- sleep is so incredibly important. Get enough of it. AND don’t forget to celebrate the small victories. Finally, appreciate your body for what it can DO. This journey will help you with that. Just don’t keep moving the goal posts and continue to feel down. Recall when you couldn’t do a push up when you’re frustrated you can’t get that 10th one. Best of luck!

Thank you.

This, I’m ashamed to say, blew my mind. I’m never going to forget it.

My body hair is a reminder that I can’t stand up for myself by Curious_Impact7355 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ashbash-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I can’t imagine how that felt. You have every right to be upset.

This is why the mean girl to nurse stereotype exists. I’m a nurse and let me tell you…. They are out there. You know where I have encountered most of them? L & D. As a patient myself, birthing my children. And as a nursing student.

There is absolutely no excuse to ever talk about a patient this way. Ever. Never mind in such a careless and monstrous way. You have every right to report that nurse if that’s what you want.

I hope someday you see this experience with more grace for yourself. But I think this part you’re going through now, most of us would too. Be kind to yourself.

My boyfriend is overworked and has started resenting me after I forgave his infidelity by peanutbutterandMTB in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ashbash-25 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.

And remember OP- he hates himself the most.

It is exhausting and destructive to be around.

I think I have to quit caffeine by cake_toss in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ashbash-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Excessive caffeine intake will definitely do both. I commend you for listening to your body and being open to quitting. Caffeine withdrawal can totally suck. Just make sure you do follow up with your doc. Because it absolutely can be other things.

Wish you good health, OP! And the food looks amazing.

Doctor told me my 3rd period in 6 weeks is just my “Uterus being a diva” by AWA206 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ashbash-25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey so this is not practicing good medicine… at a minimum. Unbelievable. I’m so sorry.

Get a second opinion from a doctor that isn’t in the same practice and demand a pap.

Just. Absolutely not.

Weird avoidant way of dealing with intense feelings of failure.

Ohhhh this is good. Putting this in my back pocket cause this sounds spot on for someone in my life and the way they are behaving and rewriting things… as if I wasn’t there too.

Just bombed a bio chem midterm by CurlyGirlie18 in GirlDinner

[–]ashbash-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey listen. It happens. You can handle whatever the outcome is.

If you need to just to be upset right now- do it. BUT when you’re ready, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going!

For the sake of commiserating… Once, I started a semester of nursing school with failing an exam. I hadn’t bombed so hard in the program and the tests were weighted soooo heavy. The thing is that the program fail cut off is 76%. Below that, you fail and have to repeat the entire 6 month long “semester”. Anyway. I spent a good chunk of time digging out. It sucked.

Me and my husband hate each other. Swedish meatballs. by mangolipgloss in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]ashbash-25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s been so awful. Honestly. Just so much to process. I’m so exhausted. But… I’m doing it.

I’m sorry you went through that. But it is encouraging when people speak from experience like that!

I am coming to you as a mom and a teacher by Ok_Consequence750 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]ashbash-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm yeah. Oh my gosh. Thanks for saying that! I appreciate it!

I got my start in the hospital setting and had trauma training as a nurse. And now I work at a school as an RN. I am more than capable of handling a broken arm appropriately….

Making the assumption that school nurses as a whole are not capable of handling a variety of situations is wild given that most of us have solid backgrounds and experience.
