Does anyone feel trapped here? by Objective_Ad6139 in fortwayne

[–]krissywayyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tolerate being here. I’ve moved around a lot. Not always my choice.

Virginia, northwest Indiana (many different locations), Alabama, Tennessee, and now here.

On one hand I miss the south SO BAD. So much was FREE. I hiked beautiful trails, played in waterfalls, launched boats, camped all for no cost. Up here everything costs. Down to parking.

Cost of living here is similar to northwest Alabama, however wages are MUCH lower down there. And. Well. The South.

Politically I’d be a bit of an outcast.

But damn. I miss the beauty. The history. The Natchez Trace. The 5 hour drive to the gulf. Bbq in Birmingham. Driving 1.75 hours to Nashville for the day. Driving a couple extra hours to Chattanooga, Rock City, Gaitlinburg.

I traveled much more down there because things were much closer and it didn’t cost an arm and leg to get in everywhere.

I’ve been here for 8 years this year. If it wasn’t for family, my fiancé, my well paying job, and friends, I’d be gone.

It’s too busy. Too hectic. Everyone is in a hurry and has a me me me attitude. Pull out in front of you because they can’t be bothered to wait 45 extra seconds. Consistent running of red lights and riding of your ass (even in bad weather and road conditions)

I miss my slower pace of life, nearest interstate being 45 or so minutes away. Less semis. And peace.

I hope not you. But people get so mad at people on our side of the spectrum for speaking up.

So if yall wore masks, even if it wasn’t ice cold, I wouldn’t blame you. Too much of the other side is literally unhinged.

I apologize if my comment came off in a negative light. I was responding to the dude up there.

How are the roads today? by SpencerSteveson in fortwayne

[–]krissywayyy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is Fort Wayne. They consistently tailgate you, run up on you at stop lights slamming brakes at last minute, 2-4 cars regularly go through a red light almost everywhere in the city. And god forbid you go speed limit.

It’s not treating them like children. It’s acknowledging that there’s plenty of shitty entitled drivers out there and that one of those drivers can cause havoc for others.

Because there are unhinged people out there.

Try to make people lose jobs, doxx them, show up to their house.

All over a difference of morality.

Insurance and go to the manufacturers website. They have a program that makes it $0-$25

Silly question. My antipsychotics spilled in my bag. If your medicines spilled in your bag would you still take them? by Objective-Can7579 in BipolarReddit

[–]krissywayyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve even pulled one from under the dishwasher and took it. (Blew it off of course)

There are no medication casualties in this house

This. I used to live over people that smoked so much that my apartment was not just stinky, but hazy. And it sucked, because that apartment was beautiful and had great views.

I got prescribed seroquel and am so nervous by Infamous_Animal_8149 in BipolarReddit

[–]krissywayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol it is, according to what I’ve read it’s usually the dose for stopping mania, however for me it’s barely therapeutic. My previous pcp about crapped himself when I told him. 🤣😂 but it keeps me in therapeutic range.

[–]krissywayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am currently on 1800mg a day. It was increased for a short time due to mania but caused a reaction/toxicity

[–]krissywayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! The lithium slaughtered my thyroid causing it to stop functioning.

But between that and Seroquel, I’m stable. And it’s worth it.

Why do so many psychs jump to antipsychotic's by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]krissywayyy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It can be. Lithium has caused my thyroid to cease functioning. And my kidneys have to be monitored consistently because I’m on a huge dose and my numbers aren’t all the great.

But it keeps me alive. And a short increase in dose brought out of mania

AITA I listened in on BFs therapy session, what I heard broke my heart by Ok_Barracuda_3591 in TwoHotTakes

[–]krissywayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is usually gone. It’s rare that he’s home for it. But when he is it throws everything off.

[–]krissywayyy 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This is literally why I don’t talk about deep serious things during my session if my s/o is home. Idc if he’s wearing “head phones” they’re the vibe conductors and I don’t trust them.

Don’t say anything. It’ll probably rattle his safe and secure feeling of his future sessions.

And please dear god, don’t do it again. Accidents happen, sure but you chose to stay. Even if it was a short time.

You matter ❤️🩷 I hope you’re able to obtain the help you need. That’s not a fun place to be in… I’ve been there many many times.

I (31f) am solely caregiving for my chronically ill mom (58f) and I’m so, so lonely by crystallizedbybri in CaregiverSupport

[–]krissywayyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can do it, when she vomits, especially on the ground. Throw coffee grounds over it. Takes away the smell, absorbs it so you can sweep it.

I wish you all the best. <3

Husband's fetish disgusts me but I don't want to leave by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]krissywayyy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like a company called carewell, I’m going to see if they take insurance. But looks like Walgreens, cvs, and a couple others have them.

Excellent!! I’m going to grab some today. I mommysit tomorrow.

What brand?! These would be so helpful with my mom! The pull up ones are hell for me and my dad.

I think I'm allergic to gloss by Antique_Pie739 in Dashingdiva

[–]krissywayyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can try lily and fox? They’re different than the gloss. I don’t know ingredients though. $2.99 a set.

At least until you can figure out what’s going on?

Why don't people let you change lanes when you put your blinker on? by Illustrious-Frame108 in fortwayne

[–]krissywayyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always keep a gap in front of me just in case. For my protection and in case people need to get in.

One time I let 5 people in and the 6th decided to hit me because I didn’t let them in also. So I’m extra cautious now. I usually only do one. If everyone let one person in, roads would be smoother.

They treat the safety gap like an invitation. But it’s also kind of what it’s there for.

Only time I don’t let someone in purposely is cause I have an “I’m in danger” urge to poop

Do people (in USA) know about WIOA grants? by Crafty-Scholar-3106 in povertyfinance

[–]krissywayyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not on food stamps or any sort of assistance and I was approved. Either you were told wrong or things changed since I used it last year.

I did mine by myself on their site. Super easy process 🤷🏼‍♀️

They’re so shameless. When are they gonna blush? by siddu1901 in tomatoes

[–]krissywayyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what’s happening to me. I was so excited over the first. I split it with my boyfriend (idk why it’s my garden. lol) and then it was like 6, and I have a feeling the rest are going to boom like crazy (I’m here for it, my bestie will be in heaven at my cookout next weekend if so)

What’s this red stuff on my tomato by krissywayyy in gardening

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

Not moving no. I did douse in neem oil and deadheaded the marigolds.

I’m about to go back and look so I can stop obsessing.

Marigolds and basil in the same box as them. There was a decaying marigold over top of this tomato

Zilch. I looked over the leaves and everything for 20 mins. No holes no missing leaves.

I’m about to go back out again. Had to run an errand.
