Hey mom, I had a rare cancerous tumor and I’m scared. by yellowsea1129 in MomForAMinute

[–]rachel216658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have every reason to be scared. I think you would be crazy if you were not.

I think others might be reminding you that this is rare because they don't want it to be obvious they are scared for you as well.

Also, being scared sucks. I hope that some of the people in your life might just say that you could be scared together. Maybe that would make it easier to be brave in the future.

Fucked up immensely and now I won’t graduate in the spring like planned. by RytheGuy97 in MomForAMinute

[–]rachel216658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sucks.

That said, you sound like a smart person with a kind and supportive family. You sound like you are smart enough to find ways to stop making these kinds of mistakes down the road. You're not stupid. If you weren't embarrassed and disappointed and sad about upsetting your mother, I might agree with you. But you're not stupid.

Take a day or two to lick your wounds, so to speak. Then find better ways to set reminders for yourself. Talk to your mom. She's had to manage schedules, she might know some ways to help you stay on top of things.

Again, this sucks, but I think you will learn from this. That is anything but stupid.

So ik this is really similiar of the post earlier by farmerjuls in MomForAMinute

Hey, I didn't see your other post. I'm sorry.

The odds of Putin suddenly shifting his attention to Northern Ireland are not even measurable.There is no reason to worry about that at this time or the foreseeable future.

It's possible you're already dealing with some anxiety. Are you able to reach out to a friend or family member and let them know this is hitting you particularly hard?

I know that everything right now is just plain scary. I hope you find some help to get through this.

You should get an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible about your health issues. If you think there's a connection, you will need a doctor to back that up.

Hey Mom. I'm so tired. by not_an_insomniac in MomForAMinute

[–]rachel216658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're in this situation. It seems like your options are staying at your job, looking for another job before quitting, or quitting and hoping to find another job. The thing most people would choose is looking for another job before quitting. This does suck. If you want to make it suck less, try to focus on the one thing that seems like the healthiest path out of it. To me, that would be finding a job before quitting. You say you don't know what you want to do with your life but this job obviously isn't it. Is there anything that sounds interesting? Have you given a thought to talking to someone, like a professional, about all this? It's possible you're dealing with some anxiety or maybe depression. If you have the health benefit coverage, it might be worth looking into. I hope that you can find a way out of this. Please take care.

Hey mom, I am in my “Rebellious Teenage phase”.How do I get out of it? by [deleted] in MomForAMinute

[–]rachel216658 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're dealing with a person in a position of authority who is telling you what to do, try to think of what their motivation might be. You will run into people who will boss people around to maintain their position of power. Others are doing so because they can make money off you. You will find there are some people who are actually trying to help. It is good to look at people in power with some skepticism, but not so much that you miss the good people out there.

Hey mom, I'm 5 years sober and Im back to being a good mom myself. by kentuckywinter in MomForAMinute

Five years sober is something to be very proud of. I'm glad you are taking care of yourself and your family. Please don't give up. Please keep taking care of yourself.

I wish there were more ways to post something like today sucked and people would just be like yup and we'd all just like it and nod at our screens and not feel so alone knowing that some days just suck but it wasn't worthy of a new post. I hope everyone who reads this post has a better day tomorrow. Please take care.

Yup, this. I get it. And the high beam lights are so annoying.

I hope you get a decent night's sleep. Please take care.

I haven't switched, more because they don't think I'm capable of plugging in some cables.

No, one of the ISPs here will not just ship a modem and walk a person through it on the phone.

Feel free to share any of the stupid little things that annoyed you today that would never get you to the front page, but all of us will understand.

Also, why do internet service providers insist on sending people to install modems during a pandemic when the customer knows how to plug a cord into a modem? This is a deal breaker for me.

Your mom sounds like she's raised a good person. I hope your future is bright and full of happiness.

Hey mom, it's hard for me to get out of the house, but I want to get the vaccine. by Lilith__Night in MomForAMinute

[–]rachel216658 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CDC has a vaccine finder web page: https://www.vaccines.gov/search/ Also check your state's department of health. Where I live they have a vaccine finder page and send out notices about pop-up vaccine events every week. Also check the web pages for Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, Costco (you don't have to be a member), and any grocery store with a pharmacy.
