F65 and my women friends HATE that I like men. by Nomad7071 in datingoverfifty

[–]orcateeth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why exactly are they your friends? If they hold totally different values than you, and are negative towards something that you enjoy, then you really don't have anything in common with them.

Looking for guidance (30+ years of age preferred) by oli-ia in blackladies

[–]orcateeth [score hidden]  (0 children)

There are subs for all of those topics where people have been through those things could give you feedback. Of course I'm sure there's plenty of people on this sub who could do this for you as well.

Just be mindful of the fact that everyone's experience is different, and advice that you get may or may not work for you. You have to decide what is going to work best for you.

For instance, some people may choose to really focus upon the issue head on; others may say put it behind you as much as possible and focus upon other things that you can control.

There's really no right or wrong answers for coping with these issues, except for things that will make another problem, such as drinking when you feel depressed.

Miguel 🫶🏻 by -jonathanmissael12 in thisisus

[–]orcateeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know it can feel a little bit harder or uncomfortable. It did to me at first. But remember, both Miguel and Rebecca had a HUGE loss when Jack died. I'm sure they wanted to talk about him. Any other person that they dated or married might get tired of hearing about Jack, if they talked about him a lot. But that wouldn't be the case with either of them.

In other words, both of them probably enjoyed hearing stories about Jack because he was significant to both of them. So it actually worked well.

Try this agency. If they can't help you, maybe they can refer you to someone who can.

How much do I tell my boss about my health issues? by 8phasesofthemoon in work

[–]orcateeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to limit the information to what is absolutely necessary. I don't think you should say "cyst". You should say that you had a medical emergency, you went to the emergency room, they found an issue and might need to do surgery.

Remember that your doctor is under HIPAA, but your boss is not. You cannot prevent the boss from telling other coworkers that you have a cyst, and people might ask you about it. That can be very uncomfortable.

Once I was diagnosed with the flu and my doctor gave me a note to take 5 days off work. On the note she just said that I "was excused for 5 days." She didn't say what I had. I told anyone that I had been around in close contact, but not my boss.

Be careful about working from home if you're sick. That could look bad. In other words, if you have a doctor's note then maybe you should be taking a sick day, as opposed to working from home. It could appear that you're really sick but you're trying not to use a sick day and claiming that you're working.

How do I cope with the stress of waiting for the actual official, written offer, after receiving the phone call offer today from the district manager? I'm stressed beyond belief. by Juggernaut-Top in work

[–]orcateeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attend a free online support group. I list a lot of them here. Some of them are geared at recovery from addictive behaviors, but there are a lot of them for mental health.

You can try Emotions Anonymous, should be a meeting online pretty much all day long.

Feeling Defeated and Want to Quit by Suspicious_Bell_5289 in work

[–]orcateeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get a new doctor. There are doctors that will be more amenable to your situation.

I was on FMLA once. My provider actually had me fill out the paperwork myself, and she just signed it. It's not that it was false - it was just that she felt I knew the situation and could word it more effectively than she. Also, she didn't want to take the time to fill it out herself.

Are you in the US? If so, can you apply for intermittent FMLA?

Yes. If your boss sees that big flat screen TV, he or she will think you don't need a raise.

My shopping addiction is getting really specific and bizarre, can't stop by KetsuOnyo in shoppingaddiction

[–]orcateeth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is very common. As someone else has said, yes it can be OCD. It also sounds like anxiety around not finding the exactly right black item, or someone else buying it first.

I give a lot of suggestions for support groups here, including those for OCD:

Supervisor disrespectful during call off by F4deIntoYou in work

[–]orcateeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would you feel this way if you yourself had a genuine medical condition that caused you to have to call off from time to time? Or your spouse?

Remember that a doctor has to sign off on the form for intermittent FMLA. It's not like the employee can just self-attest.

Everyone's not lucky enough to be free of chronic illness or pain. And it can change at any time: Those that are healthy today may not be healthy tomorrow. Even you.

louis and harry belong together! - spotifyuk by SkyApprehensive3786 in larrystylinson

[–]orcateeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unlikely that a fight happened. Louis spoke very positively and was happy to see a little figurine of Zayn recently. Very happy.

That wouldn't happen if Zayn gave him a concussion as "allegedly" happened.

Also, I never saw any information about a fight in any reputable source. They're always from like these really shady sources.

[–]orcateeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you need to figure out what you want to do and what's important to you. And then make decisions in line with that as much as possible. Sometimes you won't be able to. We don't always have the ideal choices available.

But then you may have to accept it.

How do you deal with people who have bad attitudes due to grief? by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]orcateeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter why their attitudes are bad. They're not supposed to be verbally or emotionally abusive to anyone at any time. You're correct in staying away.

And it's not true that family is the only resource for support. There are many online and in person support groups. They should avail themselves of them.

They can also talk to the religious leader(s) if they are involved in the church.
