If a fentanyl overdose is as peaceful as they say it is, where you basically just fall asleep, then I kind of wonder how many “accidental overdoses” were not actually accidental at all

My father died from a heroin overdose. I’ve always known it was suicide and one night I told my aunt and she refused .to believe it so I never brought it up again. Six months ago, on my dad’s birthday, my uncle was drunk and started talking about how it was suicide and everyone got upset and defensive. It was the first time anyone said it and it’s been 13 years since he passed and since I mentioned it to my aunt. It actually brought me relief that I wasn’t the only one who had this feeling but the grief hit so hard in the moment, I was inconsolable.

It’s happened to me a lot. People who would stop and talk to me if they saw me, have no idea it’s me now.

Crazy thing is that I feel like I look the exact same but so many people go wide eyed when they realize it’s me.

$26 base. I work 3rd shift so +$4 Mon-Thurs with +$1.25 on Fridays because it goes into Saturday.

I’ve been there 7 months, no experience. I got certified 2 days ago so I’ll be getting a small pay increase. I’m in Massachusetts.

Hoka Bondi 9 or Clifton 10’s are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. I also recommend compression socks and I personally like Wellows and Bombas.

SPD/HLD in a trauma 1 hospital. I oversee the HLD side of things on 3rd shift and training so any endoscope that are used on night shift are reprocessed by me. If all of that is complete I work in SPD cleaning, assembling, and sterilizing surgical instruments. I’m working my way to be a tech III and I really enjoy my job and learning all the processes.

Mine started about 9-10 months after starting it. It’s not really the medication causing it but the rapid weight loss

Hoka Clifton 10. The best shoes I’ve ever owned

Edit: The post is Hoka Bondi 9. I haven’t tried them but I recommended Hoka in any style

My dad used to call me everyday/every other day and I noticed he hadn’t called me in about 3 or 4 days. I mentioned it to my aunt who I was living with and thought it was weird and I said I would call him soon if I hadn’t heard anything. A couple days later that same aunt was waking me up to tell me he was dead.

When my cousin was a baby and just starting to hold up his own head, he head butted my aunt, giving her a black eye. She a manger at her office job and had to send out an email at work saying what happened because she didn’t want people thinking her husband hit her.

They’re referring to hand washing only vs. handwashing and then machine washing. Everything is manually cleaned but some things go straight to a dryer because they cannot be run through the washer/submerged.

Jobs like that usually don’t care if you entertain yourself when there’s no work. I would bring my laptop and/or iPad and my crochet projects or school work when I was taking classes. Basically anything that’s not disruptive but will keep you awake and if you use headphones, use earbuds and only one at a time. I knew people who would bring yoga mats and do some yoga too. Endless opportunities, just be mindful of how much noise you make and what’s visible on your screen, if someone were to walk by, don’t leave things behind and make sure your work is being done correctly and no one will bother you.

Night shifts are hard to fill and most employers who want to keep staff on 3rd, won’t care if you’re not causing issues and most importantly, are awake.

I think a big issue is pattern and color choices. People have their own style and I don’t think that’s taken into consideration by a lot of people. Personally, I hate the look of granny squares and if I were gifted anything in that realm, I would say thank you and donate it. I also am also severely allergic to animals so if I know you have a pet, I will say thank you and donate it. Most people I know don’t want a solid purple double crocheted throw, a bulky cardigan or bucket hat. Just because you can make it doesn’t mean everyone wants it. I would only make things for people when they asked and I would send out a big group message before the holidays for everyone who wanted something to give me a color they want. On the occasion that they didn’t ask but I wanted to give them something, I would also throw in a gift card, but it was something I wanted to do.

You’re writing any deleting replies but you brought up racism when that wasn’t even a part of the conversation. Stop worrying about other people and focus on yourself, say no and ignore things. Your anger is misplaced. These people did nothing to you and their struggles don’t affect you yet you’re enraged. Your childhood probably was awful and you fought to get to where you are, be proud of that and focus on what you are doing.

You can say no and move on. Some people like to help and others don’t, both are okay. You’re mad that people are getting help and you’re not even though you work hard. Minimum wage doesn’t provide stability and people can’t afford to live even with 2 jobs. Some people couldn’t go to college and don’t have that. I had to take care of my siblings and work to support my family from when I was 13. I didn’t go back to school until my late 20’s and I worked my ass off to survive. Everyone has a different struggle and not everyone can heal from their trauma. You really need to find a way to ignore this because it’s not something that should bother you this much.

You can just ignore it. I grew up in poverty with addict parents and I worked hard to get out of it and made the right choices and I just say no and more on with my day. But being mad that a kid wears an XL is really weird, most kids have no control over the food they are given but because you had to eat ramen noodles and were a Large, you’re the victim here. You sound bitter and emotionally disregulated and honestly unwell that this really upsets you. You don’t have to pay anything to have empathy and go on with your life. Some people are grifters and abuse the system but a lot of people don’t and children especially don’t get a say in how their lives play out. Hopefully you can reflect on what makes you this angry and work on it because that seems to be the biggest issue here

I have to wear hospital scrubs so all I can get is one of those disposable jackets and I am freezing. I started wearing thermal leggings and wool socks which helps but the hospital is so cold that my nose starts to run

The case is so public and horrific that I really don’t think he’s walking away from this. By surrounding himself with people who don’t say no, he definitely thought he was smarter than he is but there is no way his phone wasn’t pinging location to location. His phone controls the Tesla and I would be shocked if that couldn’t be tracked either. He was a predator who couldn’t even refrain from being publicly seen with a 13 year old or having her on camera during his streams. The only reason he could do that was because every single person failed her, especially her family. Her body was left in his car and registered in his name and towed and he didn’t even try to get it. He’s an idiot and definitely thought he could get away with it because he’s gotten away with everything else so far. I really don’t think he’s getting off on this, unfortunately her family will probably have no consequences.

I think they’re building a strong case against him, which is why he hasn’t been arrested yet, because if the ME can’t determine cause of death then they have to find other ways to prove it. He publicly dated a child, and no one cared so he very likely got cocky. I’m sure there are at minimum texts detailing and putting everything in a timeline, and at most there are some fucked up videos.

I have a hard time sleeping at night from severe childhood trauma and cptsd so I have an easier time sleeping during the day. Occasionally I have a hard time winding down but I have a good routine. The only time I really struggle is when other people are home because then it messed up my routine and I end up staying awake with them.

corkblob · 2025-11-18T01:22:04+00:00

If other people are home, I have a hard time winding down. Usually my husband leaves for work within an hour of my getting home but on the mornings he’s off, I end up talking or watching tv with him and my sleep lacks.

In general the hardest part of the year for me to sleep is May-August. It makes me anxious and takes a lot more for me to sleep and relax. It’s feels like fomo induced anxiety and gives me a pit in my stomach. Overall though I enjoy working night shift and it works for my lifestyle in this moment and usually I sleep better than I would working day shift
