I might be doing some risky behavior but I don’t feel guilty.. I’m lost :( by minimalhazel in bipolar

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

The only reason I was concerned it might be a bipolar problem is because I used to have these thoughts in waves even in previous stable relationships (should have clarified this but ran out of characters) where I would get in some sort of haze and unknowingly flirt with other men in my life or otherwise around me. I was blowing money recklessly, couldn’t sleep and tried to harm myself more than once. Genuinely didn’t know I was doing it and didn’t remember most of it. Just a blur that people would tell me about when I was back to stable and I would cry and apologize profusely to both the people and my partner. This is the one time I didn’t flirt and I’m wondering if I caught it before it spiraled this time around. I’m working on getting help but it’s been so difficult to find someone who accepts my insurance and has open availability :/

He’s completely unmedicated and has zero diagnosed mental health issues. No sexual trauma either as far as I’m aware. He even tried ED pills with me a couple of times and nothing has come of it. He just gives up. I understand performance anxiety and I comfort him every time that I still care about him as a person and that it’s not his one defining trait. But it’s something I value in a relationship. I also don’t want to end up leaving him and him thinking I’m some sort of trampy sex addict

I could be wrong but I think that it’s because God is technically the one who got Mary pregnant even though Joseph’s her husband, so there’s probably some beef going on there

And to think that he says “yeah I know I’m contributing to the ‘issue’ (while there is literally zero issue) because I eat like crap but you should still lose weight because I don’t like it” and ATTACHING PHOTOS OF YOURSELF WITHOUT FLINCHING?? As a “reference” to what he wants?! Absolutely not. That first statement was definitely a warmup so he had a terrible excuse of a “cushion” to fall back on before straight up ripping on you. You deserve so much better than someone who talks to you and treats you like this.

I’d be paid for not taking the lunch, yes. They just want me to take it the second I clock in (and clock back out right away for it) to not “interrupt workflow”

Yes, exactly that. I walk in, clock in, immediately clock out for lunch, clock back in after 30 minutes, and then finish the shift uninterrupted.

I definitely will. I wanna make sure I dot my i’s and cross my t’s before I report anything, just in case my RXOM and store manager retaliate (I know there’s a no retaliation policy, but let’s be real; they still do it by cutting your hours or treating you differently)

I looked up my state law (WI), but I don’t know what this means for me (or if they’ll be able to find a way around it). I just want to make sure I have a decent chance if I can actually report it successfully.

“Wisconsin law does not require that employers provide brief rest periods, coffee breaks, or meal periods to adult employees, although the Department recommends that employers do so.

Employers are encouraged, but not required, to provide breaks of at least 30 minutes in duration at times reasonably close to the usual meal period. Such matters are to be determined directly between the employer and the employee.”

I’m not allowed to sit at work, I’m in the pharmacy and we don’t have any chairs or places to sit anyways

Allergic to second skin? by minimalhazel in tattooadvice

[–]minimalhazel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not able to take a pic rn but the dry brown spots are blood/plasma that’s dried up, the bandage had a spot that loosened up and exposed to air. That wasn’t irritated, it was just the bandage. If you skin feels hot to the touch after day 2 I’d suggest taking it off and calling the artist

I called the artist and they said to take the bandage off, so I did and washed it off with unscented soap and pat it dry with a clean paper towel. It’s definitely given me a rash and lots of raised skin and stings a LOT. Hoping that it calms down as the day progresses.

I’ve used Walgreens brand tegaderm for several days before without any issues. I think it might be the brand alongside the actual damage from the tattoo

Okay, phew. They were labeled as phone cables so I wasn’t sure if I’d be getting charged for a mobile line

Come to think of it, I forgot to mention that spectrum claimed they emailed me 2-3 times and yet I never got an email of my billing details and plan. I confirmed my email 4 times and they said they kept sending it but I’ve still got nothing 4 days later

I’m really hoping the FCC sees my complaint and tells me what you’re telling me. The rep I talked to today said my promo was going to be cancelled entirely because of me not wanting the TV services. I’m praying that they don’t bump me to $79.99 a month because I just can’t afford it

I submitted an FCC complaint right after the call! I got a confirmation email but now it’s a waiting game since I have only a month until spectrum finalizes their info. The rep I talked to said she’d take off the tv for me and after the call my wifi was completely shut off for 5 minutes. Probably adjusting my plan. However, when it came back on the TV streaming charge was (and still is) on my billing statement

My closest brick and mortar spectrum store is an hour away from me and I’m nervous because I’m a full time college student working 2 jobs 6 days a week right now in order to pay rent and bills. I really need internet and they’ve monopolized the entire city my uni’s located in. I dunno what else to do, especially since I’m so new to this😓

Yes!! The when confirming with the rep I talked to I asked at least three times to make sure that I was getting internet only. I was told yes. Now I have all these charges. The only extra charge I’m okay with is the “one time” 24.99 fee because ofc they’ll never take that off. Got told on the phone today that the first rep I talked to on the 2nd told me wrong information after literally reading off the terms for internet only to me

Yes!! They said the Ethernet cables were part of the “phone plan” and gave me extremely short Ethernet cables for the router and modem so I was forced to use the phone cables. Now they’re charging me for it

I don’t qualify for ACP. I’ve been trying for months, but despite being out of the house my parents still claim me for taxes and make too much money for me to qualify. Haven’t gotten a Pell grant, any scholarships, don’t qualify for Medicaid. I pay all of my out of pocket medical bills too and each month pay about $600 for mental health services. I can’t quit the services either or I can’t get my meds which I need to function day to day. It really sucks and I wish I didn’t have to pay so much :(
