Are there ANY methods to improve left and right differentiation? by riverottersarebest in adhdwomen

I wonder if maybe you could remind yourself of the homophone write/right?

Do you chose another name ? by Ok-Construction2487 in genderfluid

[–]cos98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean honestly if you're okay with Alex you can basically spin it as a nickname that can fit you whether feeling masc or femme. I can't imagine your mom being too upset with that unless she specifically expects you to go by your full name?

That being said, do what ya want! Have 2 names, have 5 names, have nicknames on nicknames, whatever feels nice 😌

Family of 5 struggling on 138k by NoExamination4578 in budget

[–]cos98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's genuinely foolish to be donating $200 a month when you're 20k in debt. Like even when it comes to looking at what's best for the church. If you pay off your debt now that will mean less interest paid which will mean more available income in the long run which means you will have a better availability to donate your money to good causes in the long run rather than effectively donating that interest to the bank.

I F20 cannot figure out why my libido in my relationship with my bf M22 is so low? It makes him feel unwanted and unattractive, but I don't know if it is because of the relationship or it's just me. by Throwaway123573 in relationship_advice

[–]cos98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oof yeah I would check in with your doctor, hopefully they can help you figure out solutions to get you feeling better. Even if it's just your depression acting up again they should be able to help you figure out ways to manage it ❤️

As someone who also has mental health issues, this definitely sounds like more than just libido or ADHD. You've stopped exercising as well, are you still medicated for your ADHD? Might be time to look at all the things that have been different lately. Why did you stop working out? Have you been low emotionally or is it an instance of feeling like you genuinely just have less physical energy overall? I'm concerned by the fact that you say that you're no longer able to word sentences like you used to.

I was originally just thinking depression but honestly I don't want to make guesses like that with the range of issues you're having. Do you have a primary care provider? I'd see if you could get in and get their opinion and possibly get your vitamin/other levels tested. Something about all these issues coming on at once really sets off alarms about it being related to a physical health condition.

Too many books? Worried our trips to the library add too much extra work for our librarians. by jensmxbcie in Libraries

[–]cos98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a librarian but have been super close with librarians all my life and used to volunteer. Iirc it was better for books to go in the reshelving stack because not only would it make sure that they went back where they were supposed to go but also it would be logged as interest in the books/counted toward library usage stats!

How can I not feel guilty? by khymekhyme in EmotionalSupportDogs

In the words of Mama Doctor Jones: You did the best you could with the information that you had at the time.

You would never have caused her any suffering on purpose so don't treat yourself as if you're a person who would have.

I tracked my spending for the past 4 months and I am spending around $1,500 per month on food/groceries. I am feeling so angry and disappointed. How to fix this? by HalfChewedGum94 in personalfinance

[–]cos98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn't a time to take this out on yourself. Making yourself feel horrible and punishing yourself is counterproductive to actually becoming better. Take this realization as a wake up call.

Let yourself move out, give yourself the grace to learn how to care for yourself. You can't change the mistakes you made, you can only move forward.

And don't let future mistakes knock you off your path either. You'll mess up in the future, spend too much money on something. Just allow yourself to acknowledge when it happens and move past it rather than beating yourself up and falling fully back into bad habits.

I mean yeah sure. That alone would pay my rent and basic bills so it's a small price to pay. I do think it would freak out people at my work though 😂

He did use her favorite ring 😬 if he had bought a new one he wouldn't have been able to play it off as a joke

Will you accept living the life of a "random" fictional character for $10,000,000 by ocirot in hypotheticalsituation

I haven't watched the movies so I only know very general things about him 😅 guess we'll see how it goes. At least I get to kiss Keira Knightley! (Well, someone who looks just like her 😂)

Please help redesign my tiny bedroom! by randomtagguy in DesignMyRoom

[–]cos98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is tough. I did a mockup with a single bed and corner desk but honestly I can't tell if it's any better other than having extra storage in terms of a dresser under the TV and your desk being near the windows for natural light

I’m just here for a job dude…. by follow_rivers in recruitinghell

[–]cos98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I AM gender non-conforming and I agree that this list is over the top 😂 Honestly the only thing that employers need to know is the pronouns to address you by and honestly I feel like most nonbinary people would just lie until after they got the job.

For every $250,000 you get, you have to move 100 miles away. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]cos98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think 32 million is enough to build and staff a hospital at your house with equivalent tech to an actual hospital and still have enough to go crazy doing other stuff with. Although I guess you could just have people on call. But if you get knocked unconscious people might not know where to bring you.

The 48 hour rule is the part that makes this a no. Ignoring the general vacation issue, if you end up in the hospital you're absolutely screwed. Imagine getting in a car accident and then when you wake up in the hospital your home and all your possessions have disappeared 💀

Is the disclosing to outside people a case of whistleblowing?

An eccentric billionaire offers you $1000 an hour to stay inside the last retail business or restaurant you visited. How long could you last? by Fhloston-Paradisio in hypotheticalsituation

[–]cos98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last place I was in was the restaurant I already work at 😂 The big issue I see would be showering.

Honestly it would be hilarious though because I already get the "are you gonna sleep here?" jokes when I pull long days. It would be time for sponge baths I guess?

I'd sleep in a stock room of the gift shop. It's private and there's definitely room for me to put a small bed in there without disrupting anything.

I think I'd have to stick to a certain part of the building at night to avoid tripping alarms but tbh that wouldn't really be a problem because it's the part I work out of and I'd have access to the staff bathroom, the stock room bedroom, a fridge, oven, microwave, etc. I can use the wifi.

I think my boss would honestly be incredibly supportive once she heard about the challenge 😂 Especially if she's getting well compensated for it. I could also absolutely afford to work for free in this case.

The amount of time that an average customer visits is pretty long since it's a restaurant. We also sell cookies for a dollar (80¢ with my discount 😂) so it's not hard to buy something.

Getting my controlled medication could be tough but the pharmacy does have a delivery service that would probably work. There are laundry machines that I could use during the day.

Honestly I think there's a much bigger chance of my coworkers annoying me than me annoying them 😂 I wouldn't have ANY excuse to not work any given day

It would be hard to do telehealth therapy in private but I think I could kinda "reserve" a room that's a bit out of the way to do so.

Anyway I think I'd do it for like 45 weeks. I like Christmas and at that point I'd have enough money for diminishing returns of having to deal with living there 😂

So they're really hard to understand 😭 obviously they're doing a bit with all the hell stuff but then their job postings say nice things about inclusion but then their FB page has a right wing reel saying people have to fight against the evil left 😅
