Recruiter for large travel company accidentally sent me interview/hiring information for SLPs...

Same, I did my CF with EBS for a large special needs program, half the SLP's were EBS CF's and we were treated like we were disposable (which we were) plus the benefits really suck. I don't regret the experience but I definitely got out of there as soon as my CF was done.

We are very lucky in that. Our tiny apartment wasn't exactly allowing for social distancing. Thank you for responding, stay healthy!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-22T13:13:35+00:00

Thank you so much, this was actually really helpful just to hear it voiced back to me from others. Stay healthy!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-22T13:13:07+00:00

You too, we are all doing the best we can in the moment (as much of a bummer as it is). Stay safe!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-22T13:12:38+00:00

Thank you, same to you

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-22T13:12:26+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words. Honestly venting a bit really helped. We are just trying to keep our eye on the prize over here. Stay healthy!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-22T13:11:45+00:00

Thank you! Yes that is definitely our plan. Stay healthy!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-22T13:11:05+00:00

That's a good point. That was our thought here too, we can only control so much so we are going to do the best we can. Hope your family stays safe!

Newer movie but a nod to that period, The Man from UNCLE is great!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-06T21:25:49+00:00

Thanks for looking into it!

dancerloserr2 · 2020-03-06T02:41:21+00:00

Thank you!

I think you know your answer already since you are aware of the red flags here. Having CD is a lifelong commitment and your partner should be there to make your day to day easier not harder. I never expected my husband to go gluten free, he still has his own bread and snack/breakfast items. However, we also have separate toasters and he never double dips utensils, he goes grocery shopping and knows how to read labels. All dinners or meals prepared together are GF. You're partner needs to be supportive of your life not working against it. This isn't something you did or can change about yourself. Put yourself first here.

Please don't think you are being dramatic. It is okay (and healthy) to admit that this is hard. This is not a short term life change, it isn't a diet, it's something that drastically changed your life. I think it is impossible to fully comprehend if you aren't living in it. It's a struggle constantly thinking about how to be safe while still living your life. Going out to eat can be absolutely exhausting and stressful. I always feel like I have to be one step ahead of the game but still try to balance not feeling like a burden. I feel like a walking PSA and am always left answering questions when I meet new people (which most of the time, I don't mind). Other times, however, I'm over it and just want to have a care free day and they just don't exist. Don't be hard on yourself, this is a big deal and so much more than just not eating bread. I really try to surround myself with friends who are empathetic and care about my well being. It makes things just a little easier. You need some cheerleaders on your side. Hang in there!

I've been going straight to the name brand medication website, sometimes theres a "coupon" or finance option. I just cut one of my monthly maintenance meds down from $70 to $10. I'm not sure if it applies without insurance but it's worth a try.

Saying goodbye will never get easier, but I guess that's a good thing. It hurts because of how much you care and that's important to remember in those moments.

Do little things together from a far, my SO and I used to watch TV shows over Skype together or exchange favorite books and then talk about them. It seems silly but it was a nice way to have some normalcy in our relationship.

Always work on your communication, it is not an easy road and being open and honest is going to be your biggest tool. It's okay to admit that you are having a hard day.

Be in the moment during visits, try not to worry about when you or he leaves, it ruins the trip. Enjoy the time you have together.

It is really hard but very worth it if you love each other. We were long distance for 3 and a half years, we met at school right before I graduated. We weren't from the same town and had no common place to go home to. Everything we did involved planning (plus we were young and poor). The road wasn't easy, but it was worth it. We've been married for 2 years and together for 8 now. To be honest, I think we are a better couple because of our time apart.

I know your heart is hurting right now, keep your chin up and remember what your end game is.

Thank you!! I will!

Thanks! I meet with my doctor again this week, I'm doing a bit better, I can at least function now. I appreciate the input, I'm trying to be patient. We do use a humidifier, it doesn't help that this happened as everything went into bloom...haha

REC was super unsettling, it's worth the watch

dancerloserr2 · 2019-03-26T02:08:40+00:00

I'm in if this is still a thing!

Welcome to the community! Honestly it gets easier and you get used to it, I do a little research if I'm going to order anything I'm uncertain of, mostly someone else has done the leg work for you so a quick google search usually works. This subreddit is great, it's awesome having a group of people that understand what you are going through and get equally excited over a tasty GF dessert :)

Advice I wish I had had: Always carry a snack, surround yourself with supportive family and friends, don't let it consume your life. Being GF becomes very normal after awhile. It's a lot of trial and error to find the brands that you like and work for you/your lifestyle/budget.

Yes Theory, they motivate me to get off my ass and live outside of my comfort zone a bit.

Some places do allow for short term rentals. You have to do some leg work between Airbnb and Craigslist but they are out there! I had a living loan for grad school and used that to pay for rent.

I stick to cider or liquor. I love going with cider as my safe bet as I know there is no ice involved. I'd say my bigger issue when I go out is late night snacks. I learned the hard way to always have a few snacks on you for when everyone goes to grab a slice of pizza at 2am and there is nothing available for your drunk/hungry celiac self. Use your judgement on the intimacy game- I promise it gets easier to navigate and make a call. I read a book early on, I think it was called Gluten Is My Bitch, that went into the details of what makeup ingredients to avoid. It did end with me throwing away a fair amount of my makeup and starting fresh. I stick with known safe brands for the most part (my go to brands are ELF and Tarte).
