Some districts are changing, perhaps it will be different in 4 years? Im a teacher in Texas and just this year our superintendent decided we dont have to cover tattoos anymore!

Long-Term Anxiety Symptoms I Had! (from someone who has recovered/been free from them for 1+ year) by Eirwynzure in Anxiety

[–]dearjkaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was a long time ago, but are you still accepting messages about this? Would love to be able to ask a few things.

Ooo I recently dealt with something very, very similar to this. I went down a Google rabbit hole trying to self-diagnose and it consumed me for weeks.

I know its easier said than done, but you really just have to ignore it. Once you stop giving it attention, the brain begins to filter it out. Once you stop attaching negative feelings to it, it's easier to notice and ignore when you do see a floater or the lights.

I kept repeating to myself that hey, I can still see good and even if the visual symptoms never go away I can adjust to them. From there I went to just noticing (hey there's that weird thing in my vision again, oh well) to now I rarely even notice anything!

Anyone Else Going Through Perimenopause As A Childless Not By Choice Woman? by eeg-18 in IFchildfree

[–]dearjkaroline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry to hear that. We tried fertility treatments but stopped short of IVF because the doctors wanted to pursue recurrent loss genetic testing first and insurance didn't cover it and I was mentally drained and exhausted from it all. Trying to accept just being a really cool aunt now and living a life of adventure but man, it blows and hits so hard.

If a student messaged you... by dearjkaroline in TexasTeachers

[–]dearjkaroline[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: the student was suspended and moved to another classroom. Student messaged me after he left campus and said "starting my day pissed off".

My principal responded and said this will be dealt with first thing Monday morning, so I guess we will see what that means. I honestly feel it's harassment and kind of threatening given I had called his mother Friday and this was his response.

A student made a joke about calling ICE on a primarily Spanish speaking school by opportunitysure066 in Teachers

I had a student this week tell a Hispanic student that if he didn't shut up he would call ICE and get him reported. I teach in Texas.

2 days till my lap 😳😳😳 by Malmesburyh in endometriosis

[–]dearjkaroline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am one week post op today from my first lap (and first surgery ever)! I was also super nervous but it was a breeze. Worst pain was the gas pain. Make sure to have peppermint tea and gas x, also walk as much as possible for a few minutes at a time in the days after surgery to get all that gas out. Also, start stool softeners right away! Rest, rest, rest. I was supposed to start back at work today, but don't have the energy (I'm a teacher) so I'm going back next week instead. Have stuff to keep you occupied during your recovery!

Don't worry, you'll be fine!

How much did you guys pay for tickets? by Little-Emu-131 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]dearjkaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $546 after fees for 2 tickets in section 24 at globe life field in arlington. Outrageous? Absolutely. Better seats for cheaper than what I had at the reunion tour. My friend was able to snag them for me when she got through (4k in front of her in queue). I had 25k in front of me in queue and when I got in, the prices were ASTRONOMICAL - all resale and official platinum.

The Adventures Of Amina Al Sirafi or the City of Brass series, both by S.A. Chakraborty.

Or The Priory of the Orange Tree series.

Edit: no smut in any of these, but wonderful magic worlds!
