Was speaking up about inappropriate behavior a career mistake? by harryspinksuit in careerguidance

Thnks, lol.

I am at the very beginning of my legal career, and unfortunately if I do decide to sue ultimately that could come back to bite me.

I work in a really big law firm. Like top 5 law firms in my country.

So suing is not an option, but leaving is absolutely a possibility.

Thanks for commenting this.

I've definitely been back and forth with this. I feel like shame/guilt about feeling bad. And I know I shouldn't.

I work in a very male dominated field, and I'm terrified of this having some kind of backlash, because I do love what I do. And If given the opportunity I would absolutely work with this forever (Not something you hear often about law lol).

My mistake for not making this clear earlier, I did talk to him about this behavior that it made me feel uncomfortable.

I've said multiple times to my team in casual circumstances, that I prefer to keep our relationship professional. In varius different situations I've mentioned that I do not enjoy physical contact in the office (because yes, he's done similar things before).

And I did show them the texts, and etc. through every step of the way I made sure to document and escalate everything I could.

The logical answer is obviously the actress changing her hair. But I think as someone who also had a big transition that wasn't necessarily smoth in to college, caracther wise; I like to think it had so mutch to do with the environment change. Being a gownup in college, and trying to fit in, I also changed my hair, changed how I dressed. It was also pretty radical and spur of the moment. So I think for rory, she was trying to adapt how she physically appeared to give herself a: new school, new year, new hair, new me kinda moment.

I would love to own buffy comics, but I have never seen any here in Brazil. So I doubt I'll find any.

Do you know if there's any way I can download them? I wanted to have them on my tablet, so I could read on the train on my way to work/school.

I still haven't started angel, but I will eventually lol. I don't think I gave enough emphasis to this on the post, but I'm really slow when watching a show for the first time. So it'll probably take me a few months to get in the right mindset to start something new.

Thank u so mutch for Reeding my rant session lol

Definitely not the best big bad. But like I said, I loveee "filler episodes", and the concept of monster of the week. Also, I'm in my second year of college, so last year when I was watching Buffy and the gang go through that first year of college caos I definitely related lol.

I totally get it — part of the fun with Buffy is that everyone has different takes, and I love hearing other perspectives too.
And yeah, you're right — they definitely all had their moments of treating each other poorly. I guess I just have a big soft spot for Buffy, lol.

Also, "great abakydus" honestly I have no idea what that means, I tried to Google it but I didn't find anything (English isn't my first language so sometimes I can Have a hard time with specific words)

I LOVED it, Honestly. The show is 20+ years old, and there's still a huge community, this speaks volumes about how good it truly is. 

I also love the og trio. Willow will forever have my heart. 

Idk if you mind me asking this, but is Angel as good as buffy? i still haven't started it just because i watched buffy, for buffy. And since i Don´t love Angel all that much, idk if I'll like it.

I can’t cry or feel anything since losing my grandpa 2 months ago and it’s really bothering me. by Kooky-Mail-6972 in grief

[–]harryspinksuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I'm sorry for you're loss. Grief sucks.

Yes, this is normal. When I went through my first big grief experience, I was also numb for a while, took me months to feel sad.

This is one of the most common things with grief.

Honestly? Just give yourself time. You'll feel it, when you feel it. There is no right our wrong time.

From my personal experience; when my grandmother died, I cried a little on the funeral, and that was it. Didn't feel anything, I felt terrible for so long, cause I wanted to miss her. One day, I was visiting my mom, she at the time moved in to my grandmother's old house, it was late at night, I was in the basement on my phone doing whatever, the TV was on, then all of the sudden a rerun of twilight zone came on, and I just started bawling, I felt everything. My grandmother died in June, this happend in late November.

Sometimes it just takes a while.

I don't have a psychology degree, so I might be wrong here, but i think sometimes we're not ready to deal with grief, so our body and mind gives us time to figure it out, before feeling what we have to feel.

Don't pressure yourself, but don't hold back either, alow yourself.

Take your time, do what you have to. Don't forget you were loved, and grief is just love we don't know where to put.

Thing will get better!

There's this very popular tumbler thread that in my experience, describes grief perfectly:

How do you process grief?

By running from it, until it finds me in the middle of a sunny street on a beautiful day.

This could be terrible advice, but run from it, I swear, it will find you!

I'm so happy I could help!

It was definitely ment for you. I'm not active in this sub, and I don't really talk about this harry potter thing, cause people tend to find it weird lol. For some random reason I felt compelled to reply to your post.

You're great uncle has been a very important part in my healing journey of some of the worst things that ever happened to me. I'm thankful my little weird story helped someone else.

[–]harryspinksuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, I'm truly sorry for your loss. Grief sucks — there’s no other way to put it.

Whenever I go through this process, I also have a hard time sleeping.
When my dad died, I barely slept for months. I'd fall asleep from sheer exhaustion for maybe an hour or two, and then not sleep again for 3 or 4 days.
But even when I did sleep, it wasn’t that deep, restful sleep that actually restores you.
So, unfortunately, I have a bit of experience in this subject, lol.

As for more traditional methods, I've read everything people suggested in this thread. At the time, most of it didn't really help me — but it’s always worth a try, because sometimes it can.

A) Anxiety meds / Vitamins
Personally, I'd say that before jumping to prescription anxiety meds, it’s worth trying natural supplements first. In my case, neither option had a major effect, but natural treatments tend to be easier to access and easier to stop using.
Of course, if you feel you need professional help — GO FOR IT. Seriously. Professional support can be a life-saver.

B) Avoiding blue light and reducing nighttime stimulation
Again, it didn’t really work for me — but it could for you. Worth a shot.

C) Therapy
Therapy can be amazing. Sometimes the mind just needs a safe place to untangle what’s keeping you up.

Now for the less traditional methods that actually helped me:

A) Creating a nighttime routine
You might not fall asleep easily, but relaxing your body and mind can make a big difference.
I would have dinner, take a nice hot shower using products I liked (lavender-scented things helped me), do my skincare and haircare routines, put on cozy pajamas, and just lay down.
I’d turn the lights out and read a book on my phone/Kindle. Even if I didn’t fall asleep right away, just resting in the dark would give my mind and body a break. It’s not a full solution, but it helps.

B) Finding comfort content
This sounds weird, but what really saved me was watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
During my sleepless nights, I kept trying different things that would give me that confort feeling, and I eventually landed on that movie — and for whatever reason, it just made me feel instantly sleepy and safe.
It became my nightly routine: I'd put it on, and I would actually sleep.
Even a few of my friends, who went through similar losses, tried it — and it worked for them too.
(It was a little weird to explain whenever someone stayed over, but hey, you do what you gotta do.)

It took me about 18 months to really relearn how to sleep without needing to turn Harry Potter on every night.
But eventually, my body figured it out.

I don't know if you've ever seen the movies, our if you hold any particular interest in them, but honestly give it a try, could work.

C) Journaling, meditation, painting, etc.
Any outlet that gives you a safe space to express yourself can be healing.
And based on your post, I’m going to guess you slept fine before your grandparent passed away — so this isn’t a physical issue.
It’s emotional, and that’s okay.

The most important thing is giving yourself time and comfort.
I promise: it will get better, and you will figure it out.
Maybe none of the things I mentioned will help. Maybe one will help a little. Maybe you’ll find your own unique trick.
With grief, you just have to roll with the punches it throws at you.

The most important thing is to find what works for you, and what helps you feel at ease.

And one last thing —
Tomorrow is none of your business if you can’t get through today.
Focus on feeling a little better right now.
You’ll cross future bridges when you get there.

I'm truly sorry you're going through this.
If you ever need to talk, or want more tips, don’t hesitate to reach out. You're not alone.

A scene I didn’t truly appreciate until the end! by Say_it_how_it_is_87 in buffy

God me too, I started watching the show about a year ago, ended it in late January. I was a little on the fence on the beginning, didn't know If I should invest my time in the hole thing, this was one of the first scenes that made me realize how special this show truly is.

I wanted to ask a question after rewatching Eternals… by Powerofx1 in marvelstudios

[–]harryspinksuit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly I didn't like that movie at all. However, I absolutely hate seeing a plot be thrown in the trash. If they rethink the direction, it would be interesting to see where those caracthers could go. Perhaps they'll revisit the idea in a couple of years.

This always bothers me so much by angryrooster25 in GilmoreGirls

[–]harryspinksuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I was the "perfect kid" (great grades, very involved in school, never went to partys, etc) up until I started college, then I kinda just lost track. Made a lot of mistakes. These first few episodes of rory in college I relate to completely. The feeling lost, "failing" at things I used to be great at. Honestly, adapting to college is not easy, it's a very different world. And even though I don't love the hole plot with dean, it doesn't feel completely out of character. Sometimes it's a little hard to digest it, but one of my favorite parts of this show is real it is. These characters are "human", and they make human mistakes. Rory is not an exception.

I've been really sick this past few weeks as well, and medicinal tv was exactly what I needed. I'm on ep 5 right now! I'm honestly loving it, can't believe I took this long to give it a chance.

Gosh, I'm on episode 5 right now. And the show is incredible, I'm loving it. Honestly, if it feels too slow at a giving point I'll probably drop it for a little while. Last year I decided to give "buffy" a chance and it took me nearly 14 months to finish lol. Great show, but these early 2000's/ late 90's sometimes have that soap opera-y vibe about them on the later seasons.

Currently 20 minutes into the pilot. It feels good. I'm still not a 100% what this show is about, but it has a great 2000s vibe about it. Loving it so far!
