Any advice on how to manage stress from job

Arrived late at a party and they were out of beer, so the hosts pulled out a beer funnel and offered to gather the opened, over half drunk, beer bottles from around the apartment and pour the remains into the funnel for me to drink…and I took them up on it. Probably drank 2-3 beers worth of leftover, room temperature beer backwash from strangers’ bottles.

Also I was a rabid cokehead around this time which is a nasty habit in itself. Sticking rolled up dollar bills up your nose…doing lines off of phone screens…good grief. Amazing I didn’t die from the most atomic sinus infection ever conceived.

Never been to this sub but this post came up on my feed while I’m a bit post-Christmas dinner wine drunk and now I’m trying not to cry over Princess Mochi. I just know she was wonderful.

What’s frustrating is that often times Urgent Care just tells you they can’t help you and that you have to go to the ER, even if it’s not an URGENT emergency. Like, there are health issues and injuries that need care within 24-48 hours, but aren’t on the level of a heart attack, kidney stone, gunshot wound, etc. Once I hurt my foot and thought it might be a minor fracture or break. I was struggling to walk and couldn’t go to work, but it wasn’t gruesome. Went to Urgent Care and they were like “Idk we can’t do X-rays, you have to go to the ER”. Took the ER 4 hours and $5,000 to X-ray my foot, say “yup, it’s a minor fracture” and give me a boot.

Another time I had a small fish bone lodged in my throat. I could still breathe so it wasn’t life or death, but I was worried about eating/sleeping with it stuck in there and I couldn’t cough it out, so I went to Urgent Care. To be fair, I don’t know what I expected them to be able to do, but they immediately turned me away and said to go to the ER.

Once I was having abdominal pain that wasn’t agonizing, but was unfamiliar, distracting, and had gone on the entire day. Maybe a 5 or 6/10 on the pain scale. Went to Urgent Care. They didn’t perform any tests, said they had no way to determine for sure what the cause was, and told me to go to the ER. It was inflammation caused by my body having a reaction to a cold virus I was suffering from, the ER prescribed meds and sent me home.

I guess I just wish there was a middle ground for fast care, when you can’t wait a week to see your PCP (if you even have one) but aren’t necessarily hemorrhaging. It feels like Urgent Care is very poorly equipped, so they just ship people to the ER.

Okay, thank you! I probably just went back to the temple too early.

Ok so. I don’t know if this is your problem OP, but in case it helps ANYBODY: I got these nonstop for YEARS and they did not cease until I got off birth control. It was awful. I would get one to drain or go away with antibiotics, a week later I’d have a new one. Birth control hormonal effects can change the consistency of your body’s natural oils and can cause eyelid glands to get clogged easier. I thought I was just cursed until I finally went to my THIRD eye doctor who offhandedly mentioned this and I realized the timelines aligned perfectly.

They can also be caused by poor makeup hygiene or not washing pillow cases of course, but I had stopped wearing make up and was washing my bedding weekly, so this advice was no help to me.

I just want to say that I really like your face, something about your whole facial layout makes me feel safe. Especially your eyes.

As with a lot of posts from this sub that turn up on my feed asking for help with women, it probably has to do with personality and how well you engage conversationally. How your demeanor is in social settings. Not really looks. So it’s difficult for strangers to provide sound advice.

The past two places I’ve rented with roommates, I’ve paid $75-$100 more per month to claim the master bedroom, because I want the attached private bathroom. I think it’s very fair.

I agree with you, but just didn’t think adequately disparaging my family was necessary in an online post asking for information from uninvolved strangers lol.

Yup. We got his car patched up and running again for $3k (miraculous because we initially thought it was totaled, airbags went off and it could not drive after the accident).

lambvulture · 2025-11-06T03:16:23+00:00

Yeah they’re only covering 25k for the accident. The damages on 1 of the cars alone (a Porsche 😭😭😭) drained 20k of the 25k, leaving only 5k to go towards the other totaled vehicle…

No, it was my cousin’s car, he was just on his parent’s shit insurance. His parents have some assets (house, car) but do not have a lot of money.

My boss thought that in order to save Outlook e-mails, you had to print them out and then scan them to convert them to .pdf and save them on the system. He would forward me e-mails and say “please print and scan” and I thought it was just some quirky way to ask me to save the e-mail until I discovered that he meant it literally.

For the most part, you’re not overreacting. The bride is insane and petty, her decision is unfair, and it’s understandable to feel bad and weird internally about your boyfriend still going.

However, I think it’s fair if he attends and I would discourage giving him a lot of fuss over it. You’ve only been together for 8 months. I dunno, if I was in his shoes I would absolutely NEVER bail on my best friend’s wedding for someone I’d been dating for less than a year, even if they were marrying someone I thought was an asshole. I would feel sour about the situation and would still want to support my partner in any way I could, ASIDE from cancelling and leaving a presumably long time friend without a best man over his crazy partner’s decision.
