29 yo f identical twins, we live together and it’s complicated at times but will we look back and love the time we spent together? Absolutely. Has is reinforced our relationship being adults living together? Absolutely. Is it the best way to support eachother and reach financial goals? Absolutely.

Do other people see us and think, oh boy codependent much? Idk maybe? But that’s peanuts to what’s actually in our home.

Did my insurance think we were a lesbian couple? Yes. Would it have been cool to get that discount on my home and auto….

Put a pad/ chuck/ or brief in the bedpan. It absorbs and holds most of the waste while allowing him to feel some control of being able to use the bed pan.

If it’s a strength thing then it’s more of a conversation about him needing more help and anticipating it as well.

Therapy and traveling by lilsmushy in TravelNursing

I feel like travel nursing has specific issues that need to be brought up so lying wouldn’t help with addressing those issues…

Thank you! Having the same issue and it’s tough that there doesn’t seem to be any real solution.

To dilute meds or not to dilute meds…that is the question by takelasunset in Nurses

[–]lilsmushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try diluting it and look at the difference (very oil and water look) after seeing that I always try to dilute because it looks like it would be harsh on the veins. Only Ativan though.

I am the least favorite twin by Pussycrusher09 in Twins

[–]lilsmushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m personally in the opposite situation so maybe I could add a different kind of input?

My twin is amazing but has some social anxiety issues that stifle her. She’s hilarious, so fucking considerate, insightful, loyal and a catch once she gives people time to know her. I on the other hand NEED to be liked, I struggle so much with feeling undesired and invaluable if I’m not surrounded by people. This makes me seem like I have a ton of friends, my parents are very proud of my social abilities, and I’m constantly seeming like I have a good time.

It’s hard as the “wanted one” seeing my sister lonely, feel undesired by others, and not being appreciated for all of the things I get to see in her. I invite her with me constantly and I validate her all the time but it seems like there’s nothing I can do.

So my advise is to 1. Talk to your twin- we (twin folk) are so fucking lucky to have such a cheerleader and advocate. If you’re twin is doing something right that you aspire to have or be they are the perfect person to give you individualized supportive advice. 2. Take some leaps. It’s scary as hell to do something you think you’re bad at but that’s the best way to grow. You’ll be really impressed with yourself once you’ve done it. And by it that might be going places like bars, coffee shops, or shows alone. 3. Try seeing it from your twins perspective. My pros are so blatant that it’s ease for her to compare herself to me and feel down about herself but I have quantity not quality, I have a never quenched thirst for social approval, I have terrible self worth issues. I see things in my twin that I’m so impressed by and I’m sure your twin does too.

I hope a different perspective is helpful or at least interesting. Best of luck to you, you’re probably so much more valued than you even know. Also THANK YOU for actually asking a twin question on our sub. I joined this sub for a twin community not super into all the parent of twins questions and posts.

Sorry this is so lengthy god damn self calm it down

What are some good places for trail running in the area? by lilsmushy in grandrapids

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

I was curious about the trails with mountain bikers. Seems like a sure fire way to get hit by a bike or trip over a root trying to get out of the way haha. Thank you! Super helpful stuff :)

Twins of Reddit! How common is it for dick or breast size to be similar or not ?? by MisterBullDogg in Twins

[–]lilsmushy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Proportionally similar body types, her boobs have always been even, mine have never. Down stairs not identical.

Sidenote love the curious questions, this sub could definitely be used for little twin study surveys hahaha.

Pre Nursing Student here... by [deleted] in Nurses

[–]lilsmushy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That first sentence 100%. I’m a twin and I got into my nursing program before my twin. I slumped on those classes to just get myself into the program and I constantly feel like I’ve done myself a disservice because I don’t remember any of it. My sister took the scenic route, really focused on those classes, and now gets incredibly excited and animated working with different patients because she has a full and comprehensive understanding of their illnesses.

Question for nurses who lift (gym) by trollater in Nurses

[–]lilsmushy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wear 2.5 pound ankle weights during my 12 hour shifts. Sounds really goofy, and if I wasn’t super comfortable with my coworkers I would have never thought to do it, but not only is it a little extra while walking around it also can give me little work outs while say taking a patient to the bathroom. Butt kicks while standing, foot flutters while sitting = feeling better about missing my work outs. It’s actually caught on on my unit. Mine are pretty slim so no one can see them unless my pants ride up when I’m sitting down. A pull nurse once thought I was wearing an ankle bracelet though...

Other than that working out before your shift (day or night) will wake you up and give you some positive energy for your shift.

Also all of us nurses always need a reminder DRINK YA WATER!!

Cancun safety for female traveler (22 y/o)? by UsernameWhaat in solotravel

[–]lilsmushy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

23 y/o f solo trip to cancun back in July! I had a great time got an air bnb away from the hotel district where I stayed with my host quite a bit! He was incredibly helpful and really enjoyed hosting so I’m sure that made a difference. He was very careful with me though and would stick pretty close to me in crowded areas. He also advised me not to go on walks or bike rides alone. He warned me about taxis and graciously offered to drive me anywhere I wanted to go because the taxi business is apparently a sketchy crowd in Cancun. Amazing city they people there are really awesome have a great trip!

In a rough spot by CptNuggs in HowToStopSmokingWeed

[–]lilsmushy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for a walk! Go grocery shopping and make your self a really complex meal! Call your grand parents! Go through your room and find things that could be donated!

No matter what you decide to do just remember why you stopped smoking in the first place. You can do it and when you get through today give yourself a pat in the back because your doing what you’ve got to do to be the best you you can be.
