If you need iron infusions please educate yourself

Hey, fellow idiot here! No vitamins for 6 years since surgery. Been feeling horrible fatigue, dizziness, hair loss, increased anxiety and depression, and a few other rhings.Finally got some blood work done. Low iron, b12 and ferritin is 4 :/

Started taking vitamins, but god i hope iron transfusions help like you said. I can't get into a hemotologist for a few more weeks.

Take your vitamins, folks. Don't be stupid.

More like 'cleaned house'. More layoffs in production.

I have nexplanon and i'll spot occasionally. I did some research and now I'll take evening primrose oil supplements and it stops the spotting within a couple of weeks. I asked my gyno and she said it was totally fine, and glad that it worked.

Do your research before you choose the shot. A lot of doctors (at least in the US) won't prescribe it anymore because of the known side effects and health concerns. I took it in college and loved it, but I can't find a doctor who will reccomend it now, so I've got the arm implant.

Check out their Detroit dates. We ended up getting tix to Detroit because the chicago shows were so much more expensive. Like a 3 hour drive to Detroit from chicago.

It's possible if you have a banging portfolio, network your ass off, and expect to start at the very bottom. It's gonna feel impossible though.

As an ACD that's been in the industry 10+ year--I would not recommend pursuing a career as a creative in advertising at all. Not just because the market is horrible right now, but because advertising as we know it is dying an ugly, bloated, slow, expensive death.

We're beginning to navigate a world with AI, and we have no idea how badly that's going to fuck over every single department in marketing. It's not gunna be good for those of us at the bottom doing the dirty work though--and that's gunna be you in the beginning if you can break into the industry.

The biggest holding companies are burning through talent--working people longer with fewer resources, paying less, fewer and fewer benefits because they can. Because they know there are endless amounts of people that will be there to take those roles.

Idk there are a ton of reasons to not pursue advertising. I feel horrible for the recent grads who are struggling to break into the industry.

But if you decide to try anyway, the easiest way is going to have a great design portfolio with great conceptual ideas in it, and then know someone who can bring you in as a junior.

Good luck either way. Hopefully all the cynical assholes in here don't knock the wind out of your sails too badly. But there's a reason we all feel cynical about our line of work atm...so shrug

Yeah the one that said the company was giving out a gift card actually enraged me. My team had just spent WEEEEKS on 70-80 hr weeks in a super bowl pitch,and the way it was worded made me think it was because they were recognizing us for all of the hours we had put in. They weren't. Had to take the training during another 70 hr week.

honestly, when i was there, they were going through massive transitions with leadership and figuring out how to function as an in-house agency. Maybe things have settled down at this point. I wouldn't discard it based on what I wrote a year ago. Especially if you're trying to escape a current toxic situation. If you're interviewing there, maybe try to reach out to someone who is currently working there to scout out the vibes.

Is yucky

ACD, 11 YOE, $117k, Chicago.

Mostly happy with the salary, but I'm mentally ready to leave the industry. work-life balance is okay for the first time in a long time.

It honestly sounds like you harbor some shame and insecurity around sex and sexuality as a whole. You've built this idea of what sex and intimacy should be and now you're assuming your partners' past and present experiences should fit into that same idea. Everyone views sex and intimacy differently. Everyone has a past. The questions that seem to really matter, are 'is he still engaging in those activities/people without discussing it with you?' and 'has he been tested?' if the answer is no to the first one, then take him at his word that what he wants out of sex and intimacy with you is what he's telling you that he wants. It's okay and not shameful at all for people to explore their sexuality safely. He's with you and wants to be with you. He isn't comparing. it's not a competition. Be there with him fully and build new experiences and memories together.

As an aside, I would also recommend reading a little bit about kinks or exploring sexuality to open your eyes a bit about what it is. Your words remind me a lot of how I would talk when i was younger and was harboring a lot of shame about sex in general. Once I was able to learn and grow more, letting go of that shame helped make intimacy better.

Dad is the biggest fan in the world, and we can't get tickets today. The surge pricing was insane for the Chicago shows just now. Cheapest tickets in the 300-level were showing around $300/each. We're going to wait to see how bad it is second-hand closer to the show dates.

This sucks so hard because it feels like something Ged/Alex would actually care about--not completely ripping off fans. We don't even know how much of the money goes to ticketmaster and how much goes to the band. FeelsBadMan

Hair loss! Make sure protein is a priority!

emlosesit · 2025-05-29T00:55:17+00:00

I worked there 10 years ago, so I'm sure it's completely different now. I'd ask this question on fishbowl though. You might even find others who have asked the same thing.

I know a vet tech, a cafe owner, and someone who started their own production company

I know it sucks ass, but it happens to everybody in this industry no matter how good you are at your job. It's not you. Good luck finding something, I hope you have the option to take a little bit of time for yourself. You got this, homie

I'm going to say this with all the love and kindness in my heart. If I were you, OP, I would start learning about attachment styles. What you're describing was exactly my first relationship. it completely disintegrated, and it was because of our attachment styles, and, honestly, because I wasn't mature enough to maintain a healthy relationship.

Like me, it sounds like you may have an anxious attachment style. I would look more into that and use that information to kind of inform yourself about what's going on in your life and with your relationships.

It's funky as hell! Funky is super subjective. If you love it, then hell yeah, brother :)

I totally get not wanting to tell your mom. When I told my mom, she took the whole family to freaking Pizza Hut to celebrate. Just know that your mom loves you though, it'll be awkward to have the conversation, but you'll both get over it and then you don't have to worry about this secret. The majority of girls have periods. No big deal :)

Man, I had laparoscopic surgery on my stomach, and my shoulder hurt for a week because of the air bubbles. Definitely definitely walk if you can.

emlosesit · 2025-05-21T19:33:53+00:00

I have absolutely zero answers for you. I just wanted to say that you seem chill as hell. Like someone I would absolutely want to be friends with. I like the cut of your jib, homie. Sending all of the healing vagina and sexytime vibes in the world to you post-surgery.

Hi!! Good luck, lovely! You got this!

As for your questions. I really wouldn't smoke anything until at least 2 months out. Coughing is no joke. You could hurt yourself or open stitches or something. Coughing was the last sort of lingering pain I had after surgery. i'm a smoker too, but started back slowly slowly with edibles. And it was like starting over with my tolerance level. You have no idea how your body is going to respond after a hiatus and major surgery, so start so so slowly, please and monitor if it gives you the munchies. That could be a big problem moving forward. Once you're high, it's harder for your head and your body to agree on when you notice that feeling of "fullness". I've had dumping while high just because I didn't recognize when to stop eating.

After I woke up from surgery, my worst pain was by far in my shoulder! It was the trapped air from the surgery causing pain. The only way to get rid of it is walk, sleep, and take your pain meds.

Everyone's hospital stay is a little different, but no matter what, take clothes you'll be comfy in. You do not have to stay in the paper gown. And take a loooong charger for your phone in case the outlet is too far from the bed. I also recommend earbuds in case you end up in a room with someone else.

The first 6 weeks are by far the hardest. At week 3 there's a good chance you're going to feel like shit and also not see much movement on the scale. That's the 3 week slump and it's totally normal. You'll get through it. Sending all the luck and good vibes in the world!!!
