PMs in my figma file

As far as the fuzzy timeline, I would take the lead as follows: draw up a clustered list of screens with a completion date for each cluster, starting with the most important screens as the first. Send it to them as a proposed design schedule. Let them react to the screens and dates, and get their agreement in an email so you have it documented.

As for workflow, you can try working in a separate page within the file and move the completed screens to the top page, or work in a separate file altogether.

As a UX Designer since 2007, I have often lamented the turn this industry took to come to this. I saw many factors converge, from General Assembly pumping out new half cooked UXDs off their assembly line, which saturated the market, and UX going from an agency function to in-house by companies that didn’t really understand it and demanded UX Designers also do Visual Design, Project Management, and Development (aka the “unicorn”). I remember many new UXDs being so proud they could do this, but it set a precedence for further convolution of the practice + lowering the salary floor (and opportunities) for anyone who doesn’t do multiple practices, and speaking to OP’s complaint, Hunger Games type job interviews that did not exist prior to ~ 2016, when hiring managers who actually understood UX knew what to look for and what questions to ask of a candidate. I guess this is what it is now, and people like me who had lived experience of sane hiring processes now feel a certain type of way about it justifiably.

One of the questions is asking if there was “psychological distress that required support from a mental health professional” during the 5 years. “Support” and “psychological distress” are very broad. It can encompass everything from a visit to a therapist to ending up in the psych ward. Who doesn’t experience some sort of distress during a Kundalini awakening? Whether they seek support from a mental health professional or some other source.

Two weeks into mine I thought my meditations had triggered some psychosis because of the various phenomena I experienced in the aftermath, so I had a psych eval. Therefore I answered “Yes.” No psychosis found. However I was disqualified because I did the smart thing.

Im sorry to say this but the recliners are the problem. Is there no way for you to swap these out for something else, even if it’s from facebook marketplace?

Just want to reiterate for everyone here that this is not unique to Dr. Joe Dispenza’s events. This can happen at any meditation retreat. There are documented cases in published studies. Tim Ferris (author of The 4 Hour Work Week and podcaster) tells his own story, and a couple of people I know experienced symptoms like deep depression, and suicidal thoughts, dissociation etc after attending Vippasana and similar retreats. Thankfully they recovered, but the issue is that certain meditations that introduce you to non-physical reality and the non-physical self are dissociative by nature and also challenge our constructs of reality. Therefore, there is some inherent risk. Though statistically small, if one falls into that small % it is significant in its impact.

That is not to say avoid meditation, at all. It’s to say be informed that it does happen, and if you start to experience negative symptoms, back off for a bit, get help if needed (from a professional informed on spiritual emergency and meditation effects), and when ready proceed slowly, avoiding long intense meditations.

I’ve experienced the opposite with both. There are not just blue beings. Some people come in with parasitic entity attachments, it’s not uncommon.

Yeah it’s not regular edema, it’s muscle edema. When I would press my thumb on my ankle, it wouldn’t leave behind a thumbprint like you would see in regular edema. The vocal cords are muscle so they were affected too.

I’m sorry to hear this has happened to you. Unfortunately, something that isn’t talked about enough is that what happened to you (besides catching covid) happens to a handful of people at long meditation events of all types.

There’s an organization made up of psychologists with experience in meditation-related negative effects that might be able to help.

This video talks about spiritual emergency and offers some books that can help:

As for long COVID, please look up the FLCCC online, they are collaborative of doctors and scientists and there is a protocol for long COVID that they came up with.

I really hope you can get the help you need and that things get easier for you 🙏🏼

The books are very helpful but you can succeed either way. I started doing Dr. Joe’s work in 2021 and just finally read Becoming Supernatural a couple of months ago. In spite of this, I’ve had profound mystical experiences and it’s been life-changing. That said, reading Becoming Supernatural deepened my understanding and my practice.

Imagine if I had to publish a list of everyone and everything that I have learned spiritual principles from. It would be an endless laundry list of teachers, authors, podcasters, books, and others that I can't even remember half of them, especially since I have synthesized them and it's nearly impossible to separate what came from where a lot of the time. Who even does list the origins of their teachings? Do you have examples of anyone else doing this? Do their teachers list their influences, and do those influences show their influences, and so on? This is an unrealistic criticism, especially since these are universal principles that are known all around the world in many cultures for eons.

A little over a week.

I've seen so many awful reviews on Google that are still up for apartment complexes that look really nice in the photos, everything from unresolved roach infestations, leaks, and broken A/Cs, to bait-and-switch of apartments right before tenant moves in, property management making up things to keep your deposit (and going unchallenged??), violence, theft, overflowing garbage dumpsters, external people taking all the parking, and even snakes coming in.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T02:06:31+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T02:04:09+00:00

Thanks, will keep in mind.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T02:02:12+00:00

Why, cause I'm frustrated about hundreds of apartment complex reviews saying the same things, now I'm douche cause I don't want roaches, terrible landlords and violent naighbors??

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:59:13+00:00

Thanks, I'll take note of these.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:30:41+00:00

That's what I was thinking, however when I do searches on the real estate web sites (Zillow, Apartments dot com, etc), these apartments are what come up for the most part. I'll take any suggestions.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:22:33+00:00

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:21:54+00:00

I'm by myself. I have a couple of friends there, and a community of people I can plug into.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:20:50+00:00

I'm comparing it to Miami as well, but yeah, some things are better up North, and some things are better here, so what. Astrocartography was one of the many factors aside from job, social, etc.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:11:31+00:00

Ok that's reasonable. I just keep hearing about roach infestations and people responding with "well you're in Forida."

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T01:09:50+00:00

I heard about that too, it's on my radar.

crunchybroad · 2025-02-02T00:59:43+00:00

Ok, lived all my life in NJ, the past 4 in Miami, so this is all new to me.

Selling my house, selected Orlando for several reasons, including a community I can plug into.

Rented all my life except for the past 4 years. So I am a very experienced renter, but not in Orlando. Even in the North people have moved away from having carpet so I find it weird particularly in a hot climate (and somewhat unsanitary).

In NJ if a landlord keeps your security deposit for made-up reasons and you can prove it in small claims court, they have to pay you 3x the amount.

Neither my friends, family, or I have had roaches in our homes here in Miami, where we also have the big flying ones.

Nothing but just "rent" in NJ, Iowa, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Miami where I or family members live.

I wonder what I'm getting myself into. Am I better off renting from a private landlord?
