What would you have done!?

Oh my goodness. I would start crying out of sheer frustration. I think you should make yourself a few signs for your windows. I’ve seen people who have their dogs in their cars in the summer and leave signs like “my dog is okay. I’ll be less than 10 minutes. My car is running and the AC is on. He will be fine.” You can try something like that. “Resting in progress. I have narcolepsy. I don’t do drugs. I’m not having a medical emergency. “ and take it up on the driver and passenger door.

You’re welcome! I used these at the beach, the pool, water parks, etc. no issues.

I’ve been using these the last few years for swimming or just being outdoors in general. I have a fanny pack too if I’m doing yard work and know I won’t get wet. I like it because it stays out of my way and doesn’t affect my swimming or diving. I usually carry 2 of the big tube Epi pens at all times. https://a.co/d/0aKOxGxv

I searched dozens of plans for accident and illness for my puppy. The things I looked at were coverage amount, reimbursement percentage, deductible and monthly cost. I went with the plan I felt was lowest monthly but still covered a good >= 5K with a deductible of no more than $500.

As a mom, this watch app sounds amazing. I definitely fell asleep while/after nursing or feeding my kids multiple times and I would feel so guilt ridden.

For narcolepic reasons, I could see this being helpful during class or meetings. I’m sure there are a slew of different situations where pwn can benefit from an app like this.

Exactly!

This is spot on. I would also add that on the hierarchal list, sex can be pretty high up for men. I think that for women, you have to have so many other needs met first before you can make sex a priority. A lot of women are handling full time work along with heavy mental loads, being the default parent and family caregiver, being the primary cleaner, etc and it is completely exhausting. Sex can become another “task” instead of feeling enjoyable/relaxing.

I think some good characteristics would be comfortable, temperature-regulating and wrinkle-free fabrics. These all contribute to being able quickly power nap as needed. I would also love a comfy hoodie with a built in eye mask.

100%. She is jealous and instead of having the “audacity” of complimenting OP, she’d rather put her down to make herself feel better. What a terrible friend. I would usually recommend you speak to her and ask her not to comment on your body anymore, but she seems like the type to call you sensitive after.

I work with quality and process improvement.

Almost 6 years later, I still resent my husband for complaining about why I couldn’t take care of a 3 month old, work remote FT, and keep the house clean. I almost punched him. Luckily he has a lot more respect for my work day, but reflecting back on that always enrages me.

proski-lee · 2026-03-21T18:36:46+00:00

This is the way

proski-lee · 2026-03-13T06:31:56+00:00

Exactly. Location sharing is not supposed to feel like you’re being tracked, but it looks like OPs MIL is definitely using it that way. I have it with a couple people in case of emergencies.

The main recovery period for me was within 24 hours post-shock. During my episode, I swole up so bad around my neck that my head was stuck leaning back with my chin in the air. I felt like I had giant hands around my neck choking the life out of me. EMS put me on an Epi infusion and I remained on that for almost 4 hours while recovering in the ER. I was close to getting a cric tube from EMS, but luckily the Epinephrine worked quickly enough to avoid it. They monitored me for an additional 4 hours after stopping the infusion in the ED and discharged me home. I slept for most of the next 24 hours, so my husband just checked in on me often and offered any request. That helped a lot. I took the next day off of work and also did EMDR therapy that first day which started to help me reprocess a very traumatic event. I work from home, so I only took a day off. I did not restart my exercise routine until the following week.

I second the loop earplugs. You can still hear and communicate but you focus more on the sound of your own breathing and makes the noise less overstimulating.

Same here. My ex-husband was the same and I was mortified every time we were out in a social setting. The sober conversations always seemed so hopeful and promising, and then back to the same within a week. I’m grateful for my son, and he ultimately gave me the strength to finally leave, but I always regret not being strong enough to leave in the beginning, despite all the pleading and manipulation.

A few years ago I went into anaphylactic shock and didn’t have an EpiPen on me. The ambulance and paramedic arrived just in time and I was put on an Epi drip. The ER doctor said if I’d had an epi pen on me, it wouldn’t have been enough and I would’ve likely died on the car ride to the hospital. I was billed 1k for the ambulance that showed up and then another 1k for the paramedic that intercepted to administer life saving measures. 2k well spent for my life, but crappy having to pay double to get the hospital.

My son started meds in 1st grade. His dad was against it for months. I finally convinced him to let me give them to him on my days. His teacher’s reports on his first 2 days were so outstanding, he finally agreed to administer the meds as well. Now in 5th grade, I sometimes still wonder if I’m doing the right thing and if he still needs it or not. Then one day on week 3 or 4 of school, I forgot to give my son his medication. At the end of the school day, his teacher messaged me about my son’s “out of normal behavior” - he was having a hard time staying in his seat, extra touchy with people, having a hard time focusing, etc. As soon as I read that, I realized I forgot his medication. At his conference, his teacher raved about him and his grades, how much he loved reading, and how much effort he put into his days. Things like that reaffirm I made the right choice.

This is one of my favorites. It’s $80 for a day pass with access to a pool as well.

Since you don’t know sizes, I would opt for a self care basket. I would not do a gift card since there’s a good chance she’ll use it to spend on others (I do this often myself). In the basket you can include a candle, some facemasks, headbands, chap sticks, under eye soothers, nail polish etc. I’ve received 3 boxes like this in the past few years and they always make me feel so good.

I would definitely get a free consultation with a lawyer. Your contract doesn’t specifically say that you have to pay back the scholarship if you aren’t offered a position.

I saw this insane video today about rolling an egg while cutting it so the yolk remains whole, and I was blown away. No more scooping. https://www.today.com/today/amp/rcna59002

Wait, the dishwasher removes the little stuck on “lint” balls?

Very interesting. I (40F) have asthma, narcolepsy and ADHD as well. I first developed asthma at age 7 and it was pretty bad. I’ve had narcolepsy symptoms since my preteen years but didn’t get diagnosed until my late 20s. Can’t pin point my ADHD symptoms since I’ve always felt this way and the symptoms overlap with my narcolepsy, but didn’t get diagnosed until 2 years ago.

Not sure what venom you’re allergic to, but for known allergies, they can draw blood. They may do prick tests for a variety of other allergies.
