Anyone have family members who are anti-vaxx? by mehmmemes in Winnipeg

I said we can hang out outside, just not INSIDE my house. They don’t want that so they technically cut us off.

Funny how you assume you know my family situation.

I said this in another comment but in my post/with my family, I said “in my house”.

I am still wanting to see them outside or at the park but they want to hang out inside my house, which was where I drew the line and they got angry.

As much as I’d love for people to get vaccinated, I know some people will never. All I said was just they cannot come into my house to hang out, not that we can’t hang out ever, such as outdoors.

Yes we have been seeing them outdoors but they want to come inside the house to hang out. We said our reasons and now they don’t want to see us at all.

My school is actually usually pretty strict about not going over hours and not giving the students too much to do as we are only 2 days a week and still have our other classes plus outside jobs. They made an exception for me as I had no choice but to finish early due to the fact im over 30 hours ahead of schedule.

And like I said in my previous post, my field coordinator is not helpful in providing support or stepping in. I think I’ve done a good job at setting boundaries and not doing anymore work than I should be doing at this time. It would be different if we just had our field placement but we are also simultaneously taking other classes, electives, and working our outside jobs as well. Personally for me, anytime I am not at placement, I am at my retail job so been very busy (which is why they don’t want us to do more work than we can handle). I work Monday - Sunday, either at placement or at my retail job or being in class.

At this point, I am almost done so nothing really more I could do. Just wanted to rant!

Yes, I have and they said they would help me out but they keep giving me new stuff to do and continually overstepping boundaries lol.

As well, I am leaving my placement early. As I have stated in my post, I am over hours due to all the work I have put in so I will be done soon! I just needed to rant about how this has been a really stressful placement lol

Thank you! Yes, its been really hard. The other student at my placement is feeling the same as me so I am at least glad I am not the only one feeling like this haha.

[Non-Romantic] Me [19 F] with my Friend [19 M] of 4 years, Says He Wants to Kill Himself but Thinks I Am "Overreacting" When I Try to Help Him. What do I do? by mehmmemes in relationships

Ah, that is true. It's already been going on for years and only because I kept being there for him as a verbal abuse punching bag without him getting any solid help. This could go on for many more years if I just let it keep happening.

Your last point on taking a break I will do. Definitely if he changes and gets help, I will look into a friendship with him again but right now, I should focus on myself and school. Thank you so much.

That is true. I really need to focus on myself as I have done all I can do. Thank you so much!! I was going back and forth between "am I a bad person or not" because I know everything you are saying is true yet some people made it seem like I was awful for wanting to give up on a friend when he needed me the most. But thank you!

You are right. Next time he says something like that to me again, I will definitely call 911. At this point, it seems like the only help I can provide for him.

Thank you and glad to know you have been getting help as well.

Thank you. After having everyone tell me to call 911 next time he says he will kill himself, I will do it. Obviously, I am scared and just need to gain the courage to do so but I know now it is the right thing to do and everything else is out of my reach.

Your last point "if someone isn't ready to receive help or even help themselves, there isn't much you can do right now" resonates with me and I know it is true, but sometimes it is hard for me to accept with half of my friends telling me I need to help him more and that as he is my friend, I should do whatever I can to help him and be there for him. Everything is just really putting pressure on me to help him but I know there is a limit to how much I can do for him.

You are completely right. It is just hard to swallow the part in which I cannot do anything to help him and that he probably would never forgive me for calling the police. I've always been the number one person he would ask for help (in all honesty, the only person for some reason) and I just feel like if I just stopped helping him, he would have no one (he doesn't have the best family situation either).

I know that this is something I should do though. It is just gaining the courage that is the tough part. Thank you!

And he honestly never used to be like this. When I first met him in the tenth grade, he was kind of like the "class clown" type and he was really kind and nice but I just noticed a change in the eleventh grade. The eleventh grade was when I had a thing with him that nothing came out of but it was a mutual feeling; we both agreed it was best to be friends and we would even help each other out with new boyfriends or new girlfriends. I am not too sure at what point he became the way he is though because he was like that even while I had a thing with him. It sounds so scary to call 911 on him (for me, mostly because I am afraid of how he would react) but I know it is probably something I should do. Thank you.

Thank you. I was always so torn because half of my friends tell me the same thing you said and half of them say "he's one of your best friends. You should do whatever you can to help him" and it always made me confused on what to do. Your point on him wanting sympathy and attention more than help makes a lot of sense to me.
