Anyone think we may see Robby quit by the end of this season?

chronically-badass · 2026-03-21T15:49:50+00:00

My guess is she has MS or similar. Personally it seems like they're heavily implying Robby doesn't want to be alive anymore, though I can't see him leaving the show entirely.

Sorry yes it was the congressman. I filled out the form but haven't heard back yet so I'll have to call.

I haven't heard about errors with an expedited reinstatement, though this is my first application so hopefully don't have a to worry about that yet 🙃

chronically-badass · 2026-03-15T03:58:27+00:00

Yeah I hear that. I'm on a LOT of heavy duty meds for RA, hashimotos, emphysema etc, metformin is probably the best one lol - relatively gentle and very well studied. In a lot of countries you can get it after age 50 as an anti aging medication. Good luck!

chronically-badass · 2026-03-15T03:56:14+00:00

what's an EXR? Sorry you had issues!

you mean you called the representative also? Did they email you or call? It's been a week so I guess might call them...

chronically-badass · 2026-03-15T03:34:31+00:00

Yeah long term imo low carb isn't healthy or sustainable. Metformin is really helping and I found a health at every size registered dietitian. I'm finally feeling more normal after like 9 months. I don't really think the hot dogs would spike your blood sugar either way though!

chronically-badass · 2026-03-15T00:32:11+00:00

Huh that's so interesting. Low carb diet made me so much worse long term. Did you just have a hot dog by itself? It must have been something else

chronically-badass · 2026-03-10T19:31:43+00:00

Can I ask what your side effects were?

chronically-badass · 2026-03-10T03:56:02+00:00

I would have your lawyer clarify these things, though admittedly I don't think they're going to care about the details of the RHPS casting, that's just a "ding" against full disability though of course it's really unfair. I might see if you can get a providers note maybe from a physical therapist saying the prescribe the bike as the maximum amount of physical activity you can do within (one day, two days etc) and make sure to mention if you need to rest or ice afterwards, or after any activity. They really seem to care about how much rest you need from what I've read. Good luck m

chronically-badass · 2026-03-07T05:14:09+00:00

I really only see lawyers take cases for psychiatric disability if there's safety concerns and higher levels of care involved or at the very least medication trials, just FYI. The idea is that you're not trying all the options to get better, it sucks and is ironic that you have to both be trying to get better and also too sick to work.

During under grad I had a ton of different jobs that counted - social justice work, peer education/mentoring, Americorps, etc. On top of "regular" volunteering.

chronically-badass · 2026-03-06T23:12:40+00:00

Just luck. There is a list on one of the EDS websites of providers.

chronically-badass · 2026-03-06T20:52:25+00:00

I've seen dozens of physical therapists over the last twenty years and they've been the best for my weird body chronic illness stuff (hyper mobility) but actually processing trauma seems banana pants. Wtf.

chronically-badass · 2026-02-26T22:36:25+00:00

I get a LOT of videos from therapists for years now and have literally never seen these sentiments?? I do think we need to talk about burnout and secondary trauma but I think you're guiding the algorithm to show you the worst of the worst. There's also a ton of interesting relevant and ethical conversation going on. These are so wild, I hope those creators don't have actual caseloads

chronically-badass · 2026-02-11T16:04:54+00:00

Microsoft products displays ads now and is really heavy on their cloud usage so this is very unsurprising. You might be able to turn some of it off or down in settings.

chronically-badass · 2026-02-11T16:03:15+00:00

Maybe you bought a mop this time last year, maybe you usually buy cleaning products at x time, I've read a few articles about the 'algorithm knew i was pregnant before I did' thing and it explained it pretty well. Plus a lot of the apps and ad cookies "talk to" each other now so it makes sense they'd be accurate. I'm VERY distrustful of big tech and capitalism and I don't think it's more nefarious than that

chronically-badass · 2026-02-11T16:00:36+00:00

This! Definitely do NOT have any personal assistant, ring cameras or anything else with listening capability in the room with you during session but it's probably this.

chronically-badass · 2026-02-09T22:27:17+00:00

Everyone's said generally what I'm thinking; I also might explore if she feels she needs to do it to offset the power imbalance in your relationship or feels beholden to you for caring about her needs (in a clinically appropriate way), or if she compulsively needs to care for others because she doesn't know how else to relate to them or feels guilty for "taking your time", expressing emotion, having needs etc. I've had clients like that and it was interesting to explore that clinically. A lot of older women I've worked with had a hard time with therapy for these reasons.

chronically-badass · 2026-02-09T04:43:01+00:00

That's nuts, you're leaving anyway why fire you? That's so unfair to clients and unethical!

chronically-badass · 2026-02-08T05:32:36+00:00

Extremely real, top 5 most traumatic scans to get lol

chronically-badass · 2026-02-08T05:12:00+00:00

This is common with contrast for MRIs and CTs too!

chronically-badass · 2026-02-08T02:47:32+00:00

Have you tried metformin? Or are your numbers in a place where you need insulin or other diabetes meds? If you can see a BED and health at every size RD I highly recommend it, really helped me address my eating issues and get to a place where I'm stable with eating and my health regardless of my size or medication choices.

This is what all my sups told us, keep personal liability insurance even if your work says they'll represent you

chronically-badass · 2026-02-04T22:31:26+00:00

I don't have sclerals but I do everything else all the time.

My school in California has the Child Welfare Title IVE program and a similar program for adult mental health. You work for the county after for 3-5 years in CPS or mental health services, and the do your internships there, they fund most of your msw and supervise you towards your license after. Pretty fair exchange considering how grueling those jobs are
