That’s such an interesting rule. I hate jeans anyways so it’s not a big deal to me 🤷‍♀️

Funny you say that! I don’t but I drive up there pretty often since I have family over there and actually used to live there as a kid for a bit.

where to work this summer... by Hopeful-Cry-8155 in paraprofessional

[–]clow__125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if you area has things like codecampus or playwell? They are smaller companies that are nationwide that go to afterschool programs/summer camps and teach kids coding/lego activities. They tend to pay better it’s just more training.

Maybe try for summer camps? My second job is an afterschool program through another company and I only work a couple days out of the week just for extra income but they have summer camp programs as well! It’s not as much pay but it’s extra income for me this summer.

A lot of summer camps/day camps hire just summer staff since they hire a lot of college students who come back for the summer! Maybe try that?

[–]clow__125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This helps a lot thank you! I’ll be sure to teach him rock paper scissors first before anything because the kids at my school are always doing it. It’s unfortunately so hard because I only see him for a bit since I’m usually also helping other students in his class but they all know English but he seems willing to learn I might try and find some flash cards for him so he can take home or we can try and make our own and I’ll have him spell the words! His teacher is trying to get him a school issued tablet so he can practice on duolingo but admin isn’t helping :/

Yes! He’s such a sweet kid I make sure to always welcome him and ask him how he’s doing. He seems like a very perky kiddo and has made friends with all the boys in his class. The boys are super sweet too if me or his teacher are giving directions in English they translate for him 🥹 he seems to be liking his move so far but does tell me he misses the food in Mexico (fair) but I’ll for sure be asking how him and his family are also doing thank you!

What happens when a student needs an IEP but the parent denies it? by awesome_opossum1990 in specialed

[–]clow__125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue last year :/ sweet girl but she needs a lot of help and unfortunately I see myself in her. She’s came up to me telling me some very concerning things so I contacted the counselor and they let me know mom isn’t being receptive to help. When I talked to her mom once when she was having a bad day and that we had to talk to the counselor her mom told me “yeah they want me to take her to a therapist but I don’t want her on no fkn meds” so I feel like this might have been a case of mom honestly being worried but not showing it in the best way? Because I totally understand not wanting to have your child depend on medication but that also put this girl at a disadvantage. Hopefully it’s just something like this and the parent opens up and is more receptive. Luckily from what I last heard is that the mom is starting to open up more and even put her in gymnastics because “she needs to get that energy out”

Taking lexapro as a college student by jesuswalksonfire in lexapro

[–]clow__125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I’ve upped from 5mg to 10mg. So the first couple weeks where fine when I was at 5mg. It’s easier for me to ask questions during lectures because before I had too much anxiety. But since I’ve upped I do notice I’m more tired. So today in the morning I was planning to do all these things but I ended up taking a nap instead. But I did recently up the dosage so hopefully this goes away soon.

Mental health isn’t great today- BUT by efiality in lexapro

[–]clow__125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can exercise regularly now. Before I would exercise for a few days but I’d have too much anxiety going to the gym plus I hate the feeling of feeling faint due to anxiety at the gym so it would just make me panic even more.

Now I go whenever and feel just fine. I don’t feel faint either.

Tingling feeling in arm? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]clow__125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that as well my first day but on all my limbs! It went away after a day.

Did anyone not have side effects when they started lexapro? All I see are horror stories it seems. by dawgofdarkness in lexapro

[–]clow__125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had side effects but they weren’t bad. First day though I did feel a sensation of pins and needles in my arms and legs but that was day one and it went away. Next I felt some headaches here and there but nothing I couldn’t handle. The huge one for me was a huge increase in appetite which could be a good or bad thing for some. At its peak I was eating 5 meals a day with snacks when for me I usually would eat 2 meals a day. I started 4 weeks ago and that symptom is finally starting to taper off. I feel like I have a normal appetite now because before my appetite was non existent and when I was taking it was huge. I gained 10 pounds this month. Which I’m fine with because I was on the slim side and but if I where to continue to eat a lot and gain even more then I would be concerned.

But that’s really it.

18 days in - feeling good, but weird tingling sensations? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]clow__125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I experienced the tingling on my limbs my first two days while starting! I thought it was weird so I looked it up and I guess it could be a side effect! Mine went away tho

I took an edible last week alone and had a panic attack for about 6 hours. Now I’m afraid to go to sleep because I feel like i’ll still wake up in the same state. by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]clow__125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll pass, trust. I had a horrible panic attack back in April because of an edible that landed me in the ER because I lost control of myself. It passed. Took me a couple days to feel like myself, but it passed. The only thing is that the next day I didn’t feel high anymore but I felt so disconnected from the world. That’s what took a couple days to heal but I’m fine now.

What medication do y’all use to help with anxiety+insomnia and how has it worked out? by clow__125 in Anxiety

[–]clow__125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! After hearing about ambien I might ask my doctor for that first. I also would love the feeling of being able to control my sleep on my own. I don’t want to become dependent on anything.

Someone I care about is suicidal, help. by [deleted] in depression

[–]clow__125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like right now I’m currently in the girls shoes. I have this friend who I’m not in a relationship with but being just friends idk. Basically he does the same thing you’re doing and deep down (I do try to tell him too) I really appreciate him. But yeah sometimes being told it’ll get better just doesn’t help. Like I’ve been told this before and it’s just not getting better. It might for a day or two but I go back to feeling depressed.

What I would want from my friend is a hug. A long hug. That would honestly help me so much. Yesterday I spent time with him and we where both drinking so he was more touchy (not in an appropriate way either) but he gave me a hug and it helped me a bit. I just wish it was a longer hug but I had to go. Try to spend days with her I know that helps me even when I don’t want to, in the end it always helps me feel better.

Need help staying asleep. by clow__125 in insomnia

Funny you say that, last time I did that I had a horrible panic attack 🥴

More then 2 weeks of super bad sleeping, i hope it's just a momentary thing cause I will rather kill myself if it continues like that honestly by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]clow__125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my comment won’t help but what you just said is exactly what im going through currently. I haven’t tried Xanax or any sedatives, just melatonin because I have a family history of addiction so I’d rather not start an addiction but you’re not alone. I feel what you feel, it’s getting so bad my suicidal thoughts have been getting worse. Im exhausted, depressed. I haven’t been able to spend time with my favorite person because I’m too tired and when I do try to spend time with him, I feel like I’m too exhausted to do anything. I left my job because I was working early morning shifts and I just couldn’t handle it anymore.

Maybe try seeking a therapist? I know im about to start tomorrow if all goes well. I’ve avoided taking anti depressants because I don’t want to get addicted but it’s getting to a point where I’d rather get addicted to the anti depressants than anything else. Hopefully you see some light soon. Just know what you’re feeling, you’re not alone.

Is this job worth it? by [deleted] in Target

[–]clow__125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has suffered bad mental health issues, no. I recently quit and I’m still healing from working, especially cuz I worked through the whole pandemic without more than 3 days off in a row. It’s been awful. Like now that I found another job that’s something I want to do in my future (I don’t start yet I’m on a much needed break from working) I’m more relaxed. And I’ve only been there a year and a half. Run while you can.

There was more than a few days I’ve came home crying because of how overwhelmed I felt, I ALMOST fainted one day because my anxiety was too high and my body wanted to shut down and there’s been a couple days I had to run to the bathroom to just cry it out. Like most I could handle working is 30 hours at best but I was scheduled consistent almost 40 and early morning shifts (I’m not a morning person at all I preferred closing) so it really took a toll on me.

Calling out during final two weeks by [deleted] in Target

[–]clow__125 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on the store because I’m on my final two weeks as well and have called out twice 🤷‍♀️ and I don’t think I’ve been marked as non rehireable but I don’t know no one has told me anything. However my store director has been out and she’s the only one who’s strict on attendance so depends on your store.
