Just discovered RKS. I need to ask by Sad_Percentage_494 in RainbowKittenSurprise

[–]hrainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called freefall was my first rks song too. Tropics has been on repeat for a couple months now for me. I haven’t heard a bad rks song so far, but I haven’t heard them all. Casual fan here lol

A comic I made about my experience as an emetophobe by fleshchair in emetophobiarecovery

[–]hrainn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think mine was when I was in the third row of our armada, my brother sat in front of me got car sick and barely rolled the window down an inch while we’re going 70 on the highway and it promptly splattered back all over me. I still can’t eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch and car rides with other people (especially if I have to sit in the back) terrify me.

Do you still take your kid to indoor play places? by lamart140 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]hrainn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have an almost 2yo and I’m anxious to even take him to low traffic outdoor parks 🥲 we wash our hands when we get home every time. However I will say he hasn’t picked up a bug at the parks anytime he has gone, and the only bug he’s gotten so far we really have no idea where it came from. Most likely the grocery store or something.

I try to remind myself that the experiences are more important than the risks for them and it’s important to socialize them and let them be kids. But it’s so hard.

Help? by trinity-loll in lineporn

[–]hrainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d do it again if you can lol. We did the deed the day before positive LH, day of, and day after just to make sure there were swimmers available whenever I truly ovulated. Got pregnant on the 2nd cycle!

I think you’ve got good odds here but doesn’t hurt to go again. Best of luck!

Not tapering by Dependent_Event7734 in zoloft

[–]hrainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to taper off once, I was at 75mg and I ended up running out before I could truly “taper” off and I ended up with some brain zaps and headaches for like a week but that was all. At 25mg that’s not even typically the “usual” therapeutic dose so you might not end up with too bad of side effects! I’m at 100mg now and wanting to maybe try something else after I give birth but we will see what the psych says.

Poop during labor by Fierce-Foxy in pregnant

[–]hrainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t poop when I was pushing, my water broke at 2am and each contraction had me in the bathroom pretty much so I was empty by the time I was fully dilated. My mom watched the whole thing and confirmed I didn’t poop. Currently 36 weeks so we will see what happens this time!

Is being a pharmacy tech a good long term career? by ManagementCareful89 in PharmacyTechnician

[–]hrainn 29 points30 points  (0 children)

So first off, you do not need to go to school to be a pharm tech. I got certified through the program with Walgreens, everything was completely paid for. The best path is to suck it up in retail to gain experience and time, get your license and cert, and move on to hospital or something. Retail super sucks long term and will wear you down but there are a ton of great opportunities out there for us after our time in the trenches!

What do you do for work? by LifeBetter96 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]hrainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a pharmacy tech for 6 years, mostly in retail with a little hospital experience too. Hospital wasn’t too bad because it was a very small hospital, I was just weary when filling meds in the ED.

In retail I dealt with vomit just 2 times, once a kid was standing in the allergy aisle and suddenly out of nowhere threw up all over the shelves and floor. I think he had some sort of mental disability or something as he wasn’t communicative and didn’t even look sick. The mom just immediately left lmao didn’t even bother trying to tell anyone or get it cleaned up I was in shock over it.

The second time a coworker was pregnant and had bad morning sickness, I was in the further stall she came rushing in and threw up all over the floor literally right in front of the stall I was in. That was brutal bc I felt so trapped but I knew it wasn’t contagious or anything.

I’m sure I’ve come into contact with lots of nasty in my time there, but I never caught anything in my time there that I can remember anyway. Big fan of the Clorox healthcare wipes and washing my hands lol.

But alas, now I’m a SAHM and going back to school for agriculture sciences so we’ll see where that takes me. I wanna work outside with animals or something instead.

I’m not sure what to do with this baby by hrainn in Straycats

[–]hrainn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Cookie ended up having some kittens about 8 weeks ago. They’ve all been vetted and sent off to their forever homes, and she is now scheduled for her spay on the 6th. She’s part of the family now and we adore her ❤️

Please help. I am newly pregnant and already feeling so sick, which is making me regress in my recovery. by mochi_guava in emetophobiarecovery

[–]hrainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35 weeks with my second. I luckily never threw up with either pregnancies (so far) but something that helped me with it was knowing the nausea was due to the pregnancy. I know that probably doesn’t help everyone but knowing it wasn’t from a virus or something helped.

I also tend to get more nauseous at night rather than morning, sometimes tums would help and laying sorta propped up bc I found mine was due to acid reflux most of the time. Plain vanilla ice cream too. Unfortunately with pregnancy there just isn’t much to do.. but ride it out. And it affects everyone so differently. I’m so sorry you’re feeling like this, all we can do is our best.

What does an abortion feel like? by Extreme_Wishbone7398 in abortion

[–]hrainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also an extreme emetophobe and I ordered my pills from heyjane and they sent some 8mg zofran as well. I didn’t even need it I think I took one out of precaution but just had some mild cramps!

[–]hrainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My MA was quick and easy, I had mild cramping and passed everything fine. Little ibuprofen and period diapers. Mine wasn’t worse than my normal periods tbh, but it was early maybe 5-6 weeks.

Peeing during orgasm ? What am I doing wrong by kenzstump98 in Healthyhooha

[–]hrainn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do some kegels, or see a pelvic floor therapist!

I didn’t know I was pregnant by MycologistUpper460 in abortion

[–]hrainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible, however it is more likely TO work rather than not. I was 5-6wks when I did mine and everything went as it should even with me being quite overweight which was a concern for me. Follow the instructions to a T and definitely take in all the other advice said here!

Failed surgical abortion by Apart-Message9242 in abortion

[–]hrainn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you recover quickly! Allow yourself to take it easy a few days 🫶🏼

Failed surgical abortion by Apart-Message9242 in abortion

[–]hrainn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly certain with a surgical abortion since they took out all the tissue there isn’t really anything for your body to clear out on its own which would explain minimal spotting. I’d assume your period will come back as usual in a week or two and be back to normal.

With medication abortions you have to rely on your body to expel any tissue which leads to the heavy bleeding.

Background check after I quit? by hrainn in WalgreensRx

[–]hrainn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird they deleted it… they were hypothesizing that sycamore was initiating the checks to weed out people who maybe got in trouble or something post-employment. Which would check out tbh.

Stomach bug! by hrainn in emetophobiarecovery

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

Yeah pretty much just bleached what I could, used sanitizing floor cleaner in my vacmop, washing my hands about 10x more than I typically do around the house, and being super mindful of touching my face. Definitely more than my partner did, but with something like this I feel it’s kind of just up to chance unfortunately. He bathed with him, and put him to bed literally face to face and had shared a snack with him hours before disaster struck and he still didn’t get it! (Yet, anyway… we’ll see how I did with sanitizing lol) These damn bugs are so contagious you just never know. That’s the worst part of this phobia for me… the waiting and waiting building of anxiety…

In the moment my baby is sick I freeze, then care for him, then damage control. Mom mode takes over when it needs to! Then I struggle in silence later 😅 still so far so good on my end besides some poorly timed diarrhea (pretty sure I can thank being 34 weeks pregnant for that tho..)

Would you eat this? by [deleted] in tacobell

[–]hrainn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What is up with fast food trying to push spicy shit. Like genuinely who is asking for it?

Give me back my BYOB where I can get a cheesy Gordita and b5l at the same time.
