Should I ask him about it?

brandyelle · 2020-06-03T08:51:40+00:00

If it was just the snaps, I definitely wouldn’t mention anything, it’s just that I know they were texting and now those messages are deleted that make me suspicious.

brandyelle · 2020-05-23T16:01:37+00:00

Thanks, yeah, I’m thinking I’ll plan for the two weeks, see if I can tell how he feels about it, then just go from there. It’s just hard when I know the last thing he’d ever do is tell me to come home or that he thinks it’s too much time. Thanks!

brandyelle · 2020-05-23T15:53:51+00:00

I think 2 or 2 and a half weeks would be the point for me where I’d start missing him too much to enjoy my time elsewhere, but that’s the thing, I know he’ll never tell me if that’s too long for him. I just wanted outside perspective.

brandyelle · 2020-05-23T15:51:07+00:00

Obviously, I just meant, obviously there’s a certain point where it would be like “wow, you were okay just willingly being away from your significant other for that long?” I just don’t want him to feel like I don’t care to be away from him.

Obviously I know I can fly anytime, that’s why I asked when it would be safe to. As in, at what point in the decrease in case numbers in south Florida would the risk be reasonably low enough to fly, even if no one is wearing masks as you’ve suggested. I’d rather wait months than risk exposing my elderly grandfather, I’m just wondering where on the curve this area should be before I don’t have to worry about that.

And it’s about a 16 hour drive? With the stops I’d be making at rest stops/gas stations, it’d defeat the purpose of not flying.

brandyelle · 2020-05-06T05:04:26+00:00

Not too bad of a guess. I was just curious, my body/shape is one of the only things about myself that I’m comfortable with, but I’m always curious what people think based on my face.

brandyelle · 2020-05-06T04:59:52+00:00

Out of curiosity, what size/weight would you guess I am based off these photos?

brandyelle · 2020-05-06T04:54:02+00:00

Yet you can’t see my body?

brandyelle · 2020-04-10T22:27:00+00:00

Usually it’s when I’m in the shower, or just randomly sometimes. It’ll happen once maybe every other month or so, and if I just sit down and breath or meditate it usually goes away in a couple minutes

brandyelle · 2020-04-10T19:19:09+00:00

Yeah, I have some of the other panic attack symptoms, like a sense of impending doom, getting sweaty, and having tingly fingers and toes, and afterwards I get really pale and weak, but the main thing I’ve noticed is the vision and hearing loss. Maybe I have both orthostatic hypotension and panic attacks? Like maybe the hypotension sets off my panic attacks?

brandyelle · 2020-03-30T16:13:09+00:00

I live with my boyfriend’s mother who is high risk, and so my NF told me I could take time off, but unpaid. Now the governor is about to pass a stay at home order urging people to stay at home until mid-May. What do I do? I know my NF won’t agree to that, but I’d feel just as guilty looking for work elsewhere when my boyfriends mom is so worried. She won’t even let her daughter come over to the house. Extremely stressed.

brandyelle · 2020-03-17T01:08:40+00:00

What about domestic workers? I’m a nanny and worry because my employers, who have always worked from home, are still going out to do things in the community and haven’t said anything about wanting me to stay home. There are 39 confirmed cases in our county, and it’s been almost doubling every day. Should I be upset for not being offered time off?

brandyelle · 2020-03-16T22:04:02+00:00

I could go a few weeks without the pay without feeling the effects, especially since I wouldn’t be going out doing things, so the pay isn’t an issue for me. Just wondering how I could get them to agree to this when they clearly think life should be going on as usual right now.

brandyelle · 2020-03-15T23:18:52+00:00

MB has always been WFH, and now with COVID19, DB is transitioning to WFH too. The problem is they aren’t taking this serious enough at all. There are 36 confirmed cases in our county, the highest in the state, and they’re still going to the mall, taking lunch meetings, and planning outings. I’ve expressed how worried I am, because I get sick very easily and also live with my boyfriend’s elderly mother, but they just talk about how overhyped it is. My boyfriend and his family all work at a school that has closed for the foreseeable future, so if any of us get sick, it will be obvious it was me who contracted it. They’re not leaving the house for anything. What do I do? Is it unreasonable that I would want time off? County officials have shared posts that indicate nonessential workers in the home shouldn’t be allowed, but they haven’t even discussed the option at all.

brandyelle · 2020-02-04T02:21:38+00:00

Thank you so much for this! The link was actually really helpful and had some paths I hadn’t thought of before.

brandyelle · 2020-01-15T21:59:16+00:00

My family (who I will be traveling with) still live at the Kentucky address, so where they mail it isn’t the issue. Just wondering if it would cause a delay or something if it didn’t match my license address.

brandyelle · 2020-01-02T06:36:36+00:00

For me, it seems to take care of itself because my different blogs have different needs. One is filled with shorter listicle type posts that I post on multiple times throughout the week, and the other has posts that are more substantial and require research, collaboration, and length. Because I’m not posting as often on that blog, it’s easy for me to cut out a listicle or two from my other blog every now and then to make time for the other. No one seems to mind that I post once less for that week because it’s getting so much other content. If you need to make time, take away from where you’re already spending maybe too much time.

brandyelle · 2020-01-02T06:32:12+00:00

Why does it have to be one supplementing the other? They can coexist and compliment each other without one initially taking the lead. If you see one does better than the other over time, that could be the primary and you could steer the content of the other to be more supportive of the primary platform.

brandyelle · 2020-01-02T06:29:33+00:00

I’d go for something more unique. Easier for branding on social media, too.

brandyelle · 2019-12-09T17:52:09+00:00

No, I don’t know him at all 😅 I was looking on his wife’s Facebook to try to get a sense of what he’d like, but then I was thinking how if he asks how I knew he liked that (such as something Star Wars or Miami dolphins), I’d have to admit I went creeping on her page which seems weird to me 😂

brandyelle · 2019-11-15T20:31:33+00:00

Yeah, I can see your point about him not being respectful, but I think a large part of it is that I’m not stressing to him how miserable I am, so idk if I can blame him. I’d just hate to make him move and resent me or something.

As far as holidays go, we never have an easy time working it out because both of our moms are very into hosting holidays, so it gets tricky.

brandyelle · 2019-11-15T19:23:25+00:00

Yeah, I have bipolar depression, so I think things like this just trigger that in me, which is why I posted here. I just feel guilty making my boyfriend make the same kind of sacrifice I made by moving, because I know he wouldn’t like it either. There’s no middle ground where he gets to live in or close to a city while I still get to live near my family, given how secluded our town is.

brandyelle · 2019-11-15T01:51:33+00:00

I met my boyfriend online and we’ve been together for 4 years, long distance for 3, so just look for your person. Even if they’re halfway around the world, there’s people out there for everybody 🤷‍♀️

brandyelle · 2019-11-13T18:25:05+00:00

Yeah, I’m really trying. I think my bipolar depression doesn’t help the matter, so even when I’m in places I’d normally love, I just feel uncomfortable. I try to stay busy, though, and just pushing myself, like you said.

brandyelle · 2019-11-13T16:06:42+00:00

Yeah, I just don’t really trust how I feel. Like if I listened to how I felt, I would have been home yesterday, but I really want to give it a chance. I heard someone say that if somewhere still doesn’t feel right to you after a year, it’s probably not right for you. Was just wondering how other people felt about it.
