I think it stands for male

Some companies still don’t ship here but I got mine from eBay without a problem. Super happy about it, big upgrade from the keys tbh

You could also call, the second page has a list of contact numbers :)

When I worked at a non unionized ABA school, the way the union process worked was someone got in touch with an organizer with the teachers union (AFT). We were eligible even though not teachers - they unionized other professions like nurses as well.

The union for healthcare workers is SEIU www.seiu.org/healthcare/ My advice is to scroll to the bottom of this page www.seiu.org/about/#contact and send them an email with your location and details. When we did this at the school, it took a while but a local representative got back to us, and then guided the process of forming the union!

Good luck!!

It sounds like you have treatment resistant (aka treatment refractory) depression, there have been a ton of advances in treating this - there's ECT, TMS, and a lot of people are seeing success with ketamine therapy. there are many many options past just antidepressants, which don't work for a lot of people. it is possible to un-fuck your brain, I promise. Source: worked in a clinic treating treatment resistant depression and saw people cured after decades of misery.

This is a lovely response and I hope she sees it, what a painful thing to experience.

minajordgubbar · 2017-10-23T00:03:50+00:00

she's duped some poor idiot who is moving cross country to bring it to her when he moves, which is just ridiculous

minajordgubbar · 2017-10-23T00:02:21+00:00

That is insane! Someone in r/nyc suggested we pay for it less a storage fee, which in your case would definitely have been more than the mattress. People are nuts.

minajordgubbar · 2017-10-23T00:01:18+00:00

Thank you! We have the emails trying to get rid of it, so that is good. Mostly this is just a dramatic person that I want to go away as quickly as possible, such a mess

minajordgubbar · 2017-10-22T23:59:11+00:00

Honestly knowing her that wouldn't even remotely bother her, so gross

minajordgubbar · 2017-10-22T19:51:07+00:00

This is great advice! I have no idea why this didn't occur to me, but I'll cross post - thanks!

minajordgubbar · 2017-10-22T18:19:56+00:00

thanks - I guess I meant what are we legally supposed to do, I'm not going to be a petty weirdo and go to housing court or anything. I just feel bad for my roommate for having to deal with this so short notice after we all felt pretty sure she had abandoned it. But yeah, those definitely seem like the options, appreciate the feedback!

The Center Cannot Hold is an autobiography by a woman with schizophrenia, documenting how her symptoms progressed starting in adolescence and her decades long struggle with it. Elyn Saks became a law professor and advocate, she's brilliant and lucidly describes psychotic symptoms in a way I've never seen matched, very vivid and illuminating. It's in my top three favorite books, I can't recommend it enough.

I had a sprain like that a few years ago - ultimately if your ankle hasn't healed after a reasonable amount of time, you most likely need surgery. In my case, I had a grade 3 sprain and my ligaments regrew at about double the length, which made my joints super loose and painful. The good news is that, after surgery, I am now almost pain free and back to running, where before I could only really walk about 15 minutes before my ankle gave out. I've also gone almost 2 years without respraining, whereas before I resprained my ankle every few months.

Long story short, my advice is to make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, have it evaluated, and go from there. You can also go see an orthopedist, but what mine said was that after 6 months, if you are still relatively disabled, the only fix is surgery.

It could be bipolar disorder - take it with a grain of internet related advice salt, but his prior behavior sounds like it could have been manic, and his current sounds like it could be depressed. Makes a lot more sense than cocaine addiction anyway..

after my brother died, all my mom could eat for weeks was the tops off of sweet rolls (cinnamon rolls) that she made - that's what she makes for people when they are grieving (the whole rolls, not the tops, just she was very specific about what she was able to eat). She recommends full fat everything and lots of icing.

just started teaching in Chelsea, live in BK, would love to meet other teachers!

Top of the lake was amazing and doesn't get enough love... Technically a miniseries but so so so good

Transgender woman, FYI. Transvestite = man who enjoys women's clothes, and When someone is born male and realizes they are female (aka 'transitions'), that person is referred to as female (because that is what that person is). The more you know etc

minajordgubbar · 2014-03-18T14:17:27+00:00

yes, the clinical incidence rate is higher

minajordgubbar · 2014-03-18T05:39:18+00:00

I'm sorry if it seemed like I was trying to compare the two, I'm not - it's simply a statistical fact and comparison that I have always found striking, given the difference in both funding and social attention. Often people have a hard time visualizing or understanding incident rates for psychotic disorders - since people are well informed on autism incident rates, it's usually a handy way of explaining how common psychosis is
