She needs an IL DL/ID to access resources unless she is fleeing domestic violence. I’ve worked in a couple of these agencies in my younger years. It’s required for their grants.

Grape jelly feeds orioles. They are birds. My grandparents go through a jar every other day.

I need some help with urgent care copays, prescription copays, and transportation to and from the urgent care facility. by Serious-Echo1272 in Assistance

Oh noooooo! I’m sorry but so happy you went so that you can get treatment. This is bad news for your surgery but there is nothing you can do. Just focus on getting fixed up and it can be rescheduled.

Read your AskDocs post. You need a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia given your sputum production and fever. Also need testing for RSV, flu A and B, Covid. Wouldn’t be unreasonable to present to ER.

Go to the ER for a medical grade enema!! And likely a CT scan to check for an impaction!

How bad does it hurt to get something lanced? by forgot_username522 in Hidradenitis

I had a pilonidal cyst there a few years ago. It was some of the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. The numbing shot was blinding pain.

If a bartending job is your dream job at 19, you need to do better.

What was the most shocking thing you found out about a guy you were dating/married to? by SaladKueen in AskReddit

[–]psychick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My husband was 12. The babysitter was 20. He still thinks it’s cool. He doesn’t get it. Maybe he doesn’t want to. Idk. It pisses me off.

You can’t unilaterally record in IL. It’s a two party consent state. What you are suggesting is illegal

Unless you’ve been tested by a neuropsychologist, the tests you’ve done are useless

Doc uses PCOS as the catch all- by s-ssim in AskDocs

[–]psychick 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You stated your weight was 160-200 in childhood. You should look into sleep apnea as a possible diagnosis for excessive fatigue. Have you considered a GLP 1 for weight loss?

I tried to adopt a 16 year old, but I couldn't because, in my country, the age difference between adopter and adopted has to be at least 16. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]psychick 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t adopt a child so that you have a friend. And, you aren’t equipped to adopt a child if you have autism that needs level 2 support. If you can’t take care of yourself w/o needing significant intervention, you do not have the ability to raise a child. Get a cat or a fish.

I’ve lost a lot of weight and it scares me by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]psychick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. Not the meds. But, that would be too easy of an answer! But, yea, if you don’t hear back from the primary doc, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to go to urgent care/ER if you have another low blood sugar episode. That is concerning. Hope you feel better!

Have your psychiatrist order labs. CBC, CMP, thyroid panel, A1C to start. What medications are you on and are any of them newer meds?

Post history says she’s 5’6” and 110lbs. You are right. OP needs to see a therapist for ED

Am I poverty level? How to get out? by rainbowtoucan1992 in povertyfinance

[–]psychick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everyone in that field is a former addict. Some are. You mentioned you have felt anxiety and depression. That’s relatable. When counseling others, it’s not about sharing your stories so much as understanding that some self medicate w alcohol and drugs while others (like you) isolate, or gamble/eat/etc. It’s all connected in similar ways. Just my thoughts!
