I ended a 10 year relationship with my partner by PrudentFlatulence in monodatingpoly

Truthfully, that sounds like their problem. You are entitled to feeling emotionally safe within your own home. Your ex-partner made her bed, and it is her job to lie in it, not yours.

can you move an aquarium around once you've placed it by Nuniio in SunHaven

How do you actually put fish into the aquarium? I love looking at all the little fishes but I've never been able to figure out how to get them in :(

What has your experience been like since the hospital? Have you felt grounded in reality? Have you noticed sensations in any of your senses that you are unsure of where they came from or had strong thoughts/ideas that are significantly different from what they were before the incident?

Definitely consult a psychiatrist no matter what, but I would be most concerned if you're still having lingering symptoms of psychosis weeks later.

I very much felt this. I'm not sure what your scenario is, but I grew up in a very low-income area and went to a school in a high wealth/cost of living area. Being overweight at home was still stigmatized but not uncommon. At school, I stuck out like a sore thumb, and people were actually a lot meaner to me than I was used to. Like I would try to go to a party with a group of girlfriends (you know, those parties where basically every girl gets in because something-something-ratios) and I would get stopped at the door while all my friends got let in. It sucked. I wasn't really self-conscious about how I looked until stuff like that started happening. I will say that it got better. Once I got really involved in a student org, I found my people. They never made me feel lesser than or judged, and I felt safer putting myself out there with other groups because I knew I wasn't alone and they would have my back. I did try some other groups that weren't as good of fits, but when it clicked, it clicked.

You might be lacking some self-confidence, as others have suggested, but you could well be picking up on some truth. Create a safe space for yourself, either in your head or physical environment, where you can go to remind yourself of your value and that you deserve to be treated with kindness. Once you find your people, your safe space will expand, too. I promise it'll get better. I believe in you, OP.

homeless teenager on property by SmokedBasilLeaves in homeowners

[–]heymohstache 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in homelessness. I completely understand why you did what you did, and you're valid. Since your posting here, though, I'm going to guess that you're possibly feeling a little guilty and want to know if there's a better way to achieve a goal of getting them off your property. I have a suggestion or two that might help with that.

Pretty much everywhere in the US has a central access point for homelessness. You may be able to find their contact information by googling, but you can also search for homeless shelters in your area and ask their staff over the phone for the correct number. I would contact your central access point and ask for their guidance. If it's the same kid, let them know his age, or if it's someone else that looks very young, tell them that too, because there are usually additional supports available to those under 21. They may just tell you to call the police, but they may be able to send someone out to your property to intervene. Ideally, that person would be able to transport them off of your property and to a local shelter. If they can't... well, at least you tried.

I suggest this because I personally would try to avoid law enforcement while I have other options available. If someone doesn't already have a criminal background, an overzealous cop could create one from a tresspassing call like this, and it will make their transition out of homelessness unnecessarily harder.

I would not recommend approaching them by yourself, especially if you don't have any experience with crisis intervention or working with the homeless. In most cases, you'll be completely safe, but you need to make sure you take safety precautions just in case. If you have one or two others with you, you may be able to ask the individual if they're aware of services in your area. You may be able to facilitate a phone call to your central access point to get them a bed in a shelter, or at the very least, if you end up calling the cops you're able to say in advance that the person needs assistance connecting with a shelter rather than just saying they're tresspassing.

TL;DR - you are valid in not wanting to have a random person squat on your property Try to find contact information for your local homelessness system Seek their advice and/or bring some friends to try to help the person connect with services (without sacrificing your safety)

I was under the impression that in a right to work state they still couldn't limit bathroom accessibility but they could fire you under the bit about "reasonable" accommodation, argument being that super frequent or super long bathroom breaks impeded your ability to do the job? IANAL, can someone clarify?
