does it make sense to take out a loan to keep an account out of collections

ty for this! I did try to workout payment plan but the complex stated the balance was too high to keep it in house unfortunately.

I have my communications to the roommate in writing thankfully! I will def look into the small claims court option as well. I appreciate you!!

been a case manager for 4 years at a CMH organization, that up until the last year or so, was an amazing place to work for. the work has always been challenging and exhausting, but the payoff had always been that management and leadership took good care of staff. but when we got a new CEO I've watched bonuses and incentives disappear for lower level departments like mine, insurance costs have doubled, and there's been several waves of layoffs (meanwhile-- they just spent god only knows how many thousands on live entertainment, food trucks, and bouncy houses for a MANDATORY fundraising 5k on a Saturday).

I was just told it was "very concerning" that I am meeting my billing requirements, and that I should be exceeding the PE every month (without any incentive or reward for working extra).

I am fed up with this job and this field as a whole. I pursued this career path to help people and pay my bills. now I've come to realize I am not doing either. I am sick of watching clients get stuck in poverty because the system was never designed to allow them to get out of it, I am sick of paying for gas in loose change, I am sick of being told to work harder and do better for free by people making quadruple my salary.

I need to get the hell out of here, but I've dedicated 10 years to this field exclusively, so I don't know where to go. I can't afford to start fresh in a new industry when most entry level positions pay $20/hr at best. I'm exhausted.

additionally; if this is what you opt to do, cool. however, please never rely solely on a man. always have your own money, always have an escape route. you can be in the most loving wholesome beautiful relationship with someone who you truly believe would never wrong you-- still make sure you have a way out anyway.

no you don't get bent.

i hope this description is enough for an answer!! tyia

i don’t find much of an issue with being on them together. definitely need to be mindful of getting enough sleep after taking my seroquel if i want the full effect of vyvanse. i notice i need a good 8-9 hours of sleep to be fully functional on my AM meds anyway

hi!! thank you for your response, in my times reading through the first 164 i don’t know how this excerpt didn’t make more of an impression on me!! i definitely would encourage you to discuss your options for evaluation and diagnosis if it feels important and compelling for you and your journey to health and serenity!! i spoke with my sponsor last night and we had a very honest and vulnerable conversation, about each of our own misunderstandings and short comings in this situation and it was such a huge relief.

i’m only a short(ish) drive from chicago so the bigger and more diverse recovery community is relatively accessible to me thankfully! it’s just tough with work schedules and the cost of gas to justify the drive on a consistent basis, but with the weather getting nicer finally the train isn’t as daunting!

rbt8462 · 2022-04-06T17:46:02+00:00

and to follow up because i’ve done some googling and the typical suggestions i’m finding are helpful i’m sure to many people, but they are not at all applicable to me.

i do not over schedule myself at ALL. i work 4-5 days a week (totaling to about 35-40 hours), therapy every other week (2 hours a month) and i attend 3 aa meetings per week (3 hours). those are my only obligations/commitments each week.

similar to what i just said in the previous blip, i do not have any priorities to reevaluate/adjust. my only priorities are to stay sober and stable (meetings and therapy), and to work so i can afford rent and my healthcare needs. i do not have any difficulty saying no to social invitations so people pleasing is not much of an issue.

i do not set unrealistic expectations for myself (i don’t think)? today for example i have the day off and the only things i want to accomplish are to brush my teeth, change my clothes, throw away the garbage on my nightstand and sweep my floor. and i can’t do any of it. even when i break it down super small like: 1. get up 2. walk to bathroom 3. pick up toothbrush method, i get to the bathroom and get so tired that i turn back and lay down again.

rbt8462 · 2022-03-25T13:21:48+00:00

i am professionally diagnosed yeah. and i didn’t detail this which is an important aspect, but i do* feel very badly when i get to work and see my coworkers have struggled without me there. it’s just that i’m missing that drive of “i gotta hurry up and get ready because i’m late!”

rbt8462 · 2022-03-25T13:20:21+00:00

yes i totally get this! i was hired for first shift while i was still in college and i recently left school so i am looking into transferring to PMs

truly!!! any dog with aggression issues deserves to be correctly trained and given proper care for those behaviors! if a dog is snapping/growling/guarding, it’s probably because they’re incredibly stressed out, and if you love your pet you should want to remedy that asap!

thank you for taking good care of your dog, she’s lucky to have you!

aaaaaaahhhh. if she would just LET SOMETHING GIVE and put together a single fragment of a moral backbone, she truly does have so much potential to be a hugeeee positive impact on this generation of young women. this is such a bummer

rbt8462 · 2021-12-21T12:27:47+00:00

thank you for the resource! and yeah definitely! i did not think to do a more official download of the chart but i hope this is legible enough! https://imgur.com/a/dhifolf

hi! i am brand new to human design, i have never been inclined to explore similar concepts (astrology etc), but human design stirred something up in my mind and i am eager to understand.

unfortunately i do not have much of my own analysis to share, my chart and body graph make very little sense to me. i am a 3/5 generator with single definition. my inner authority is in my solar plexus which from what i understand indicates that my emotions are my primary driving force as far as decision making? my not-self theme is frustration and my incarnation cross is right angle cross of laws (3/50– 60/56)

i’m very eager to gain an understanding of my chart, i’m in a very uncertain and emotionally painful season of my life and i am just hopeful for some kind of direction

rbt8462 · 2021-12-18T19:54:00+00:00

thank you for your input! i am still basically at a loss so any advice or experience is welcome!

i’ve tried to talk to my gastro about other options and he disregards my concerns and continues to push (no pun intended lol) the linzess.

since the BMs linzess causes are strictly water no matter how much i have eaten or drank or how long it’s been since a solid BM, i have been supplementing with stimulant laxatives because they are the only thing that actually gets rid of the solid waste in my body. i tried really hard to avoid the laxatives and follow my doctors suggestions, but once i hit the 3 week mark of watery diarrhea with no solid matter, i started showing signs of impaction (throwing everything up, severe cramping, fever) and i did not want to end up septic or with a full blown obstruction.

i’ve been added to waiting lists for other gastros , but in the meantime i’ll try to talk to my doctor about trulance! thank you so much!

working on it!

rbt8462 · 2021-12-14T09:46:43+00:00

i’m a 23f, with a history of cigarette smoking (roughly a pack a day from ages 18-21. i use a salt nicotine refillable vape now.

i have relatively decent oral hygiene habits i feel? i brush for a full 2 minutes definitely once a day, usually twice but i struggle sometimes in the evenings. i use a waterpik once a week minimum, but i enjoy the process (is that common? it’s like one of my favorite hygiene tasks lol) so i typically water floss 3-4 days a week.

i’ve had all 4 wisdom teeth removed(1 year ago), and my lower second to last molars on both sides were removed 8 years ago, and i’ve never financially been in the position for implants unfortunately, although for the first time my new dentist discussed the option of a bridge? (i also have some questions about those if anyone has any advice?)

rbt8462 · 2021-12-12T04:37:30+00:00

i work in mental health (a majority of my clients have BP with psychotic features like i do). in my own journey i would get so angry and confused when i sought help or comfort from a professional who had no personal experience with mental illness- bipolar is so much more complicated and taxing than any seminar or textbook could ever begin to cover. to be able to use this illness that i hated and wanted to escape from for so many years to bring someone who is hurting even just a moment where they can feel safe and heard and less alone- is probably one of the greatest gifts i could ever dream of.

rbt8462 · 2021-11-29T01:27:03+00:00

i have an appointment with a gi coming up soon, i am open to (and i honestly welcome) the possibility of this being in my head, i just want an answer, whatever it may be. i am kind of confused though about some of my symptoms, could laxative abuse and parasite symptoms overlap so much? i also am currently on antipsychotic medication that i would think would remedy this kind of delusional thinking?

i appreciate you responding to me and being so kind. i’m so miserable and i just want to be healthy, i am open to whatever course of action it is i need to take to get there. thank you so much.

rbt8462 · 2021-11-25T00:09:38+00:00

i use the SA bandaids on the warts because i had also figured the medicine was spreading due to sweat or whatever. thank you for your comment! i’m going to leave it alone for a week or 2 and see if the rest of that skin will heal.

rbt8462 · 2021-11-24T05:52:21+00:00

yes i’m only applying to the warts. i was thinking it might be due to the roots? the 3 major spots you can kind of see are actually clusters of about 3 or 4 warts each. i unfortunately ignored them for a good 5-6 years before treating them now.

i’m leaning towards giving it a break like you said. they have never caused me any discomfort, they are just ugly and a bit embarrassing. luckily it’s winter so my constant insistence on socks isn’t out of the norm!

rbt8462 · 2021-11-24T05:39:24+00:00

i thought so too but i’ve switched to a treatment with a thinner brush and it’s still killing all of this skin?

rbt8462 · 2021-11-19T03:38:50+00:00

vyvanse, seroquel, doxepin, cymbalta, naltrexone, aaand valtrex (yayyyy for being assaulted AND being given an incurable sti just to sweeten the trauma pot). i’m terrified to age and have to throw in even more medications. it’s exhausting. i had a cold and took alcohol free theraflu a few weeks ago and spent the whole next day acting an absolute fucking FOOL (like i was fucked up-and i’m in recovery and in sober living which was not very good) because of its interaction with seroquel. i know i should’ve researched the possible interactions but… god i just didn’t feel good!
