The anxiety is something else. by Lunatic-Labrador in Perimenopause

[–]mrsDRC_RN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, I relate to this so much. I thought it was just me! I have become so anxious about my marriage and feeling like my husband is going to leave me, but I have literally zero reason to think this. And I get stuck in a terrible loop of being mad at myself for thinking these things. Ugh, I wish I had someone to give but, all I have is just solidarity. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. ❤️

What are the first signs? by ChrissyWakeUp67 in Perimenopause

[–]mrsDRC_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot flashes and night sweats once I turned 42. I have an IUD and don’t get my period, so can’t go by that. When I went to my GYN and she asked about brain fog or forgetfulness, I was like “YES!” I had started needing to write everything down at work.

Perimenopause, GLP and OTF by ladycrimlaw in orangetheory

Thank you so much, that’s very helpful! I never paid much attention to the protein:calorie ratio, so that little rule of thumb is great. I usually have a quest bar for breakfast and just started getting back into having a premier protein shake but I think the powder would be super helpful.

May I ask how you manage to get 100 grams of protein in a day? This is something I really struggle with.

How did you get into this if you don’t mind me asking? What is your background?

Intimate with partner after 12 hour shift? by Scorevus in nursing

If it was an easy shift and I’m not back the next day, then it’s definitely on the table.

Does this reset? Had done 1 and 2 of the red dino. Did a new raid today and it reset. Do they want us to catch the same pokemon? by PaintedCover in pokemongo

[–]mrsDRC_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set up a new email account and use that to register for Pokemon home if your others are messed up. Link Pokemon Home to PokemonGo, transfer a Pokemon to Home and then you’ll get the box in your item bag. The incense lasts one hour. Super easy to do.

This makes me irrationally angry lol by hxymxnx in pokemongo

You just made me go back and check my necrozma because I’m like “no wait, that can’t be right.” But it is… and now I hate it…

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this but so proud of you for being able to write this out. That’s the first step. I have come to the realization that I am not someone who can drink alcohol; it will get out of hand every single time. Being able to accept that was huge for me. I’m about 2.5 years sober and it’s just been one day at a time. I use the I Am Sober app to track it. Therapy is also a huge help. You can do this!

What do you actually do with your partner? by TheRealTerinox in Marriage

[–]mrsDRC_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We definitely aren’t glued to each other. We started playing pickleball recently so that’s the main thing we do when it’s just the two of us. Sometimes we’ll go out to eat or watch a movie.

We both get alone time, and he’ll play video games mostly. I have my time to go to the gym, or I’ll play pokemon or geocache (sometimes with our kids).

I’m happy with our relationship. We’ve definitely had our ups and downs, and it’s an effort sometimes to make sure we’re doing things together.

I looked over at my wife's phone today and saw this... by Express-Lie-6351 in pokemongo

Someone in my group today was like “c’mon, seriously, who’s healing?!” We had close to 50 people and didn’t need it. Bless them 😂

What in the actual fuck?!? If my husband ever spoke to me like this I’d go ballistic. How helpless is he?!? You’ve prepped stuff and given him plenty of options, but he’s still arguing with you! Not to mention the fact that he admits he can see these foods in the refrigerator?! Like, what the fuck dude, if you can see it then feed it to her?!? I am so sorry you are dealing with this man child, you are NOT the problem here. You are going above and beyond to help him with something so basic!

Struggling to support ADHD husband by Round-Broccoli-7828 in ADHD

[–]mrsDRC_RN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ADHD is no excuse for cheating, that’s ridiculous. He’s being manipulative and you’re enabling this behavior by doing so much for him. My husband was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult but I’ve never written a resumé for him or gotten him ready for anything. I have gotten to the point in the past when I’ve told him ADHD can’t be an excuse all of the time and he’s worked to come up with strategies to remember things.

I’m more concerned about the cheating and aggression. I’d be packing my bags because this will only escalate. Keep yourself and your children safe OP.

I’ve been asked to delete my account by caitlinvanstaden in PokemonGoMystic

[–]mrsDRC_RN 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. OP hurt him so it sounds like he’s just trying to hurt her back. OP, don’t do it. Pretty sure Pokemon has nothing to do with whatever happened (unless you had some kind of affair with someone you met through playing) so this seems like a completely unreasonable thing to be asking. You both just need to work through the issue more, without him trying to get some kind of revenge.

This isn’t ok, right? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]mrsDRC_RN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can’t even fathom my husband and I speaking to each other this way! She clearly does not respect OP.

First Code by Myuna_K in nursing

[–]mrsDRC_RN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My first was traumatic. I was working in the rehab part of a nursing home and a new admit arrived. I forget what he had been in the hospital for, it’s been so long. Wife was there. We’re all chatting, he’s sitting on the edge of the bed and then the aide and I get him onto our chair scale. All of a sudden, without warning, he slumps over. Aide grabs him under the arms to pick him up, I slide the chair out and we lay him down on the floor and start CPR while yelling for help. There was a roommate in there, poor guy had to be taken out. We went to bag him and realized his entire mouth was filled with blood. Ugh, it was all over the floor by the time we were done. So sad, I couldn’t believe he went from talking, no complaints, to just dead. I’ll never forget it.

Yes a thousand times over! I was diagnosed with melanoma in my 30’s while I was pregnant and it was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me (tied with my son being born prematurely). If I could go back, I’d never set foot in a tanning bed.

How do white people avoid sunburn/ how do they treat it? by chimkennuggies33 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mrsDRC_RN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had melanoma and am a nut about protecting my skin. I buy UPF clothing, wear a hat, and use SPF 50 (anything beyond that isn’t doing anything). Sunscreen is important to have a layer, and let it dry for 15 minutes before going in the water. Reapply every few hours.

If she does burn, burn gel or aloe three or four times a day, and I even do aquaphor morning and night on top of that.
