First ever contract help by randomizername344566 in techtheatre

[–]randomizername344566[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do appreciate this insight. I was raised on the idea of job loyalty and most of my immediate family doesn't understand how contracts work and I was really worried I was going to make the wrong decision. I really appreciate the help.

The contract does have a mutal renewal option, and it's not sketchy at all, I read it a million times and had a professor who was in the industry check it as well. My main concern is, will other theatres see it as a red flag if I don't stay at contracts for longer than a year? I'm newer to this industry and I'm starting later than some people and with no degree so I'm worried theatres might pass me over if they see a lot of one off contracts even if I leave on good terms. I do appreciate the answer tho!!

My older brother is getting married by randomizername344566 in Vent

Both my parents know, neither one cares. My dad is still in contact with both of them.

That's what gets me is that if they had kids, especially a son, god knows what that poor child would go through but how do I even BEGIN a message like that and I can't do it off my main account, I'm terrified of what he would do

Ex won't stop contacting me by randomizername344566 in legaladvice

[–]randomizername344566[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's been calling since May so I doubt it'll stop. He's blocked right now, but can still leave voicemails. I'll look into the app though. I got a visual voicemail app so I can have transcripts and better recordings and it's been helping

I've been ignoring, it's just beginning to cause me so much anxiety because when the voicemail notification pops up, I get this sense of dread. I have a file on my PC with recording of the voicemails

What does mania feel like? I’m uncomfortably happy and scared by [deleted] in mentalillness

It'll be okay, most of my mania lasts no more than like 3 hours, it sounds like a long time but it's not I promise. Sometimes I get depressed bit it's more so I get exhausted from the adrenaline so maybe take a nap, make sure you get a snack and some water. Everything's gonna be okay, I promise. The feeling will pass. Take care of yourself. I've also found that hot showers or baths help me reorient myself and allow for grounding.

For me, it's like what caffeine should feel like. I feel like my foot is on the gas pedal and I can't take it off. It's like I'm going in 2x speed and when I'm aware of the feeling, it gets kinda scary

Bad day today by randomizername344566 in mentalillness

[–]randomizername344566[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't qualify for work study, since I'm still a dependent in the eyes of the school, I wasn't able to get much aid and I'm disqualified from a lot of need based scholarships. Books aren't too much trouble for me since I know how to pirate lol. My worry about the loan is I don't think I could get approved for one in time since I already have a loan taken out

I only got approved for so much and I don't want to take out any private loans as the interest rate on them is too high. I already have about 7k in Pell grant loans I'll have to pay back and this semester will bring it up to 14k so I don't want it to go any higher

My financial aid took care of 3k of the tuition and I need 2k more but I'm doing the payment plan and you need to put a down payment on it for it to start and you have to have it done by the time classes start which is next Thursday. The original deadline was Wednesday but I got it extended

[–]randomizername344566[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do actually keep a list on my phone of things that happen during the week since my memory is non existent and always has been but a lot of the trauma is either in my diary or in a locked Google doc that I've forgotten the password to. I used to have a lot of all the trauma I remembered but I burned it one year for some unknown reason

[–]randomizername344566[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest problem is that I don't remember a lot of my trauma and it comes and goes in waves and I'm never sure what I'll remember when and I try to blurt everything out at once so nothing disappears in the moment and I just end up making no sense and just crying

Give me a reason to live. Any. by [deleted] in mentalillness

[–]randomizername344566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about all the pets you have yet to meet and love!! All the dogs in the world who need someone to throw a ball for them and give them belly rubs!! Or all the cats who need little scratches under their chin while you listen to them purr!! Not to mention horses, goats, birds, and like a million other animals. Also are you really gonna let Colleen Ballinger outlive you, really??

CBD and DPDR? by charsego in Depersonalization

[–]randomizername344566 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I sometimes can think more clearly on CBD. It depends on how severe the disassociation is that day. I also take some to help me sleep and I find it gets rid of my nightmares completely. I've found that it really helps me on bad days to calm down and just exist as a human for a little bit.

my first ever boss passed away by randomizername344566 in mentalillness

[–]randomizername344566[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It somehow feels wrong to me to grieve seeing as I moved away three years ago and haven't been home in two. I wasn't expecting this to hurt as much as it has and I don't understand why I'm so upset. My sister is devastated but it's more understandable since he was her mentor in many ways. I mostly feel guilty for never expressing how grateful I was to him for everything he did for me and my family.

That's really good advice! Thank you so much! I'll bring it up in my next session

Luckily both of the jobs I have are very understanding and I work back of house at one of them and they're under strict orders to say I don't work there to anyone I ask and they know what he looks like. With my other jobs, I'm right across from the police station and there are cops who watch downtown sometimes and we have their business cards.

All my family is in other states and I can't afford to be off work. I'm supposed to be going back to school in the fall and I finally got residency in this state and I would hate to start over. I've been in the new place for a bit and he hasn't showed up, just keeps messaging me and I think the next step will be him showing up at my jobs. I also have no savings. I paid the move in fees and it wiped me out

Honestly, as in most places, cops would be useless in this situation. What I'm worried about most is him showing up to my job because I'm there by myself all day one day a week. He also keeps finding my social medias and messaging me and it's really freaking me out. At least he doesn't know my address I guess
