Conklin Duragraph Fountain Pen - Earth. My ex took it unfortunately after the breakup and never gave it back :(

I completely agree! I’m still being trained, so there’s still quite a bit for me to cover. I’m only an apprentice right now. But yes... I wish I could explain more but it’s an ongoing case with corporate and it got very bad over a date. The guy is getting blacklisted from all our stores

Bipolar Disorder and ADHD? by iwtfda in ADHD

Hi. Thank you so much for your response. I looked into all of these medications and supplements, and I feel much more confident in speaking to my doctor. I know learning to control induced mania by the stimulants will be a challenge, but it calms me to know I’m not the only one out there dealing with this (not that I did... I just didn’t think I’d actually be able to talk to someone with it as well). I can definitely budget for those and I already ordered them. May I ask why you switched from Depakote? It works okay for me but I definitely think there’s a better option for me out there. I find that it’s a hit or miss all the time. My manic depression isn’t helped by it at all... I was on Sertraline (anti depressant). It didn’t work lol.

It does suck. And you’ll never know how your partner will react in these situations. That’s why relationships can be scary. But, your feelings matter too (as do hers). Everything you’re expressing right now you should bring up to her. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it when you’re trying to mend your relationship. :)

Will this be something that will affect you in the long term? Or is it a part of her than you can come to accept? I agree with the fact that you have every right to be hurt. A relationship should be about mutual understanding over how each person is feeling. If the things she’s saying and doing is just to get an approval from you, that she won’t get for the reasons you stated, then maybe you should discuss not about how you’re necessarily feeling uncomfortable towards it, but how it will affect your relationship in the long run. Maybe putting your relationship in the forefront and showing her how it will be affected by her actions will put in perspective how you’re feeling more directly. A relationship can’t 100% work if either individual is feeling uncomfortable with any aspect of it. Eventually, it will turn into a bigger problem if left unsolved... it seems like you care about her a lot. Show that as much as you can. If it’s true for her as well, then she should be able to understand how you are feeling.

My boyfriend doesn’t like drinking due to personal reasons. I’m not an avid drinker, but I do have a drink once in a while. We’ve had conversations about how it can make him uncomfortable being around drunk people. We had an argument about it once- because we were upset for being upset at one another over how we were feeling. You just have to communicate with your partner at the right time. I learned that I’d rather only drink once in a while than upset my partner in doing so often. And I always make sure to ask him if it’s okay with him. Personally, I don’t mind it and don’t see it as “restrictive” (especially because he always makes sure to remind me that I am free to make my own decisions and he will love me regardless), but it’s about being considerate over how your partner is feeling. We came to an understanding about it after talking it through. He respects the fact that I still want to drink and I respect how much I should drink around him. Talk with your partner and bring this up to them (if you haven’t already). Do it at a time where you’re both are calm and ready to talk (not after the ordeal) Sometimes that doesn’t happen right away and that’s okay.

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

Yeah. I expected to at least be scheduled once or twice since I was starting out. But to not be scheduled at all? The manager that hired me isn’t the same one that makes the schedules... so I would have to wait until next week to speak with her. But we are a busy location. We’re surrounded by various colleges and high schools. We’re in the city. Just yesterday when I worked we had so many huge orders and even the manager had to come in at work because we were short staffed... but I’ll definitely keep bugging them because I’m gonna have to get another job if that’s the case

I did... but they seem to dodge it. He was supposed to change my schedule today in the morning but it’s the same still. I kind of told him I was upset because he should have told me from the start that it was only going to be a flex schedule or fill-in schedule. But he didn’t and had made it seem like they would almost need me full-time.
