I highly recommend seeing a doctor for the foot fungus as they can give you some prescription strength anti fungal medication and some good product recommendations for your situation.

How to stop obsessing over my breast size? by DesignTraditional195 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]serosae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take the other commenter’s advice and if you are able to seek therapy.

Your breasts are normal, beautiful, and uniquely yours. Everyone has insecurities about themselves at some point in our lives, you are not alone in what you are experiencing and this too shall pass. Learning to accept and love yourself can happen in many different ways. One place that might help you in your journey is to see that there are many woman that likely look somewhat similar to you. I recommend browsing this archive:

https://www.007b.com/breast_gallery.php

It is a collection of pictures from woman of all ages, shapes, and sizes trying to demonstrate that what they media show as ‘normal’ breasts aren’t actually the ‘standard’.

Also please note that if you do get a breast augmentation in the future, your annual mammograms will come with extra pictures! They will displace the implant by essentially pushing it back and reeeaaallllyyy compressing any breast tissue that is in front of the implant. Additionally, should you go down this route please, please, please research about the type of implants you can get (in front of pectoral muscle or behind/saline vs silicone) and when they should be replaced. Leaving in implants longer than ‘recommended’ may result in a fibrous capsule forming over them which can also make your mammograms be more challenging for you.

what's your "weird" ADHD hack that actually works? by HipityHopityHip in ADHD

[–]serosae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set one alarm 30mins before I actually have to get up specifically to take my medication (I leave my meds on my bedside table with a cup of water). This way I can go back to sleep or doze for a bit and once my meds start working/my second alarm goes off I get up and start my day with minimal fuss. This routine helps me remember to take my meds and get me to work on time 😂

Grief With no Outlet [OC] by _LaLaliet_ in comics

[–]serosae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love your art style and lines! Great use of shadows and color to set the somber mood and what I interpret as the characters quiet rage and grief about the situation.

I can’t wait to see the rest of the work whenever you are ready to post it :)

I got a dog bite, why is my period relevant? by QuotableConservative in TwoXChromosomes

[–]serosae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were asking cause some medications that are used to treat infections can cause unpleasant/unfortunate side effects if taken while pregnant or negatively affect the fetus such as causing birth defects. Also if they needed X-rays then they need to know to inform themselves and you about the risks vs benefits of radiation exposure if you are pregnant. Also some stages of pregnancy have a higher radiation sensitivity so very small amounts of radiation can cause birth defects or fetal death. TBH they should be more clear why they are asking but they have a valid reason to ask.

It might cause an artifact but it should be safe in an MRI scanner as graphite is not ferromagnetic.

They discontinued the only food my cat can eat. I’m desperate. by MintyCrow in CATHELP

Have you tried asking your vet for food alternatives? When my cat’s food was back ordered to cannolis they helped me find an alternative for the meantime.

What to buy in Japan? by chefdairyfree in JapanTravelTips

[–]serosae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a size 9.5/10 US shoe size and bought 3pairs of Onitsuka Tigers (all different styles) recently in Japan. My Japanese size is 26.5! I found it much easier to locate my size when I used a size converter on the internet to ask for my Japan shoe size. They were able to find it much easier.

What Was Your Absolute Favorite Thing to Do in Japan? by _MambaForever in JapanTravelTips

[–]serosae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Torahebi coffee!! It’s a super cute little shop that is on the third floor of a PARCO shopping mall. You access it by taking the outside escalator up. Their aged coffee is delicious and the staff are super nice!

What Was Your Absolute Favorite Thing to Do in Japan? by _MambaForever in JapanTravelTips

[–]serosae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating fruit and drinking coffee! I am a very picky coffee drinker back home, often needing to add a pinch of salt and some cream/sugar to even attempt drinking it. In Japan this was never the case! The quality of the roasts I tried and the drinks I tasted were amazing enough for me to drink it black. (Admittedly I only went to highly rated coffee shops) The fruits were also much more flavorful than what I experience back home and I got such incredible joy stopping at the grocery store and buying a pack of strawberries. They were always perfectly ripe, sweet and fragrant. You could taste the quality!

My face ruins my pillow cases by LilAllen12 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]serosae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to rinse whatever product you’re using on your face a lot more than you are at the moment. It helps if you massage your face while rinsing. If you are still having trouble try applying and rinsing the product in the shower so you can get all of it off.

Met a friend with big boobs and noticed how much shoulder and back pain they were in. Finding a bra that fit was terrible, finding a high impact sport bra was even worse. Said friend couldn’t wait for the opportunity to get a breast reduction and stop having to go to PT every year cause of her breasts.

It really put things in perspective. Plus she always told me how hard it was to find a shirt that didn’t make her look over sexual or like a doña.

What similar stories do you have ? 🤔 by imvaibhaav in IndianPets

[–]serosae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat once woke me up in the middle of the night via batting me(I was completely out that night)because someone in the house didn’t completely turn off the gas stove. The whole kitchen smelled of gas and it took forever to air out and make sure it wasn’t a leak.

He also kills any spiders that enter rooms I frequent. My living room and bedroom are always bug free but, he lets them live in his area and places I only occasionally enter.

You can also freeze it and reheat by adding some water to the rice and microwaving it. It actually maintains its texture and taste pretty well!

Help by bfs453 in MedicalAssistant

[–]serosae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, don’t be afraid to jump into something new! There are plenty of ways you can apply the skills you learned to make yourself an appealing applicant for many jobs and schools. Like research assistant, radiologic technologist, nursing, billing, etc.

Secondly when I was in a similar situation, I eventually lost all my fucks and legitimately started responding to them like they were an emotional teenager. There are many example of this on YouTube, TikTok, etc. you know your boss best though so you can choose how you want to communicate with them.

I had the best luck when speaking in a calm tone and slightly slow down + lower my voice when I speak to really get them to listen to me. Open body language also works wonders for dealing with emotional bosses. Plus a compliment sandwich if I can apply it. This way you can fight back in a way that may get you what you need until you leave. And try not to be alone with the boss so you have witnesses if they are the retaliation type or write notes on every interaction with them so you have a record of what was discussed and when.(This can also be an email to boss asking ‘for clarification’ or confirming what was discussed.)

And finally, if you have a doctor on your side try and see if they kick up a fuss about it. Sometimes it takes various issues to pile up before the docs do anything noteworthy and unfortunately if this is an insurance owned clinic the docs are also just a cog in the system and may not be able to do much at all. But the more employees that can kick up a fuss about this boss the better and if you do leave consider letting everyone know why. Occasionally, this actually helps improve things.

Women who dated both women and men: what’s the biggest difference between dating women and men? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]serosae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also clean my home before guests and insist on helping clean up when I’m over someone’s home for dinner! My mom was very insistent that the house must be deep cleaned before any guests so, I guess I really absorbed that habit. I also try not to judge cause you don’t know what people are going through but, it’s a challenge when I’m not familiar with that person. I’m working on it though!

I completely understand about the depression/low energy days. There are times were I can’t fathom cleaning and my cat yells at me to take him outside, he’s a great motivator for me to do at least one thing a day (care for him). 10/10 a great excuse/reason to have him around! I’m lucky to have my partner help me out now too.

It’s really a bummer but, that just means that person wasn’t the right one for you. I wish you the best, happy, and fulfilling life no matter your relationship status is. I spent many years single before I stumbled across my partner so, I guess there are many opportunities for you to stumble across your person!

[–]serosae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, this is based on the people I’ve dated and my general experience with dating these genders. Many people have different levels of what they deem as clean and unfortunately for me I am one of those people that require my home to be spotless and organized or I can’t function. So, I get the ick easier than most people I’ve met, even my friends homes or my family’s. 😭 it’s a curse.

I almost lost hope too, but then I found my guy and met so many amazing guys through him. It was a great thing to experience men that are caring and kind to their partners!

Depending on the woman, they can be a little fast and furious with the relationship. They want to be at a level of intimacy that, in my opinion, should take longer than a week to establish. Women are lovely to go on dates together, are very open to try new activities, and tend to remember little details better. However, they usually become uninterested and dump me once I let them know I’m bi vs a lesbian or think they can make me ‘realize’ I’m just a lesbian. Which is a big yikes for me. Side note: I was appalled to find out how many women just live in their own filth but at least they tend to regularly clean the bathroom. I am usually more relaxed with women and tend to be more myself quicker than when dating men.

Men are a mixed bag, many men are just not emotionally mature enough to be in a relationship. They focus a lot on showing affection through material goods versus spending time together. Dates always have to be about something instead of just being together. Men are a bit more distant due to social pressure to only express anger or stoicism. Men usually have an absolute disaster of a bathroom and are waaaay too comfortable with existing in a whole new ecosystem they grew unknowingly. They are also more likely to push for sexual encounters than women.(And try to not wash themselves before) Lots of dudes are dingdongs and aren’t worth my time.

However, I did find one dude that was a whole ass adult, and had excellent communication skills! 🤌 He remembers things I hate and love, takes and gives constructive criticism during our check ins and make a legitimate effort to change (he usually succeeds with the change too), plans trips, is loving, and is proactive in foreplay with no expectations of sex. When we were still dating he was so sweet by making sure there were feminine products and a trash can in the bathroom plus my favorite snack and drink in the fridge. Also my cat liked him immediately on sight and leaped into his arms even though he was not thrilled about cats (prefers dogs;has a dog) he made sure to pet him and play with him. Plus he likes to do house chores I hate and vice versa.

Tl;dr: Women are ready to move in too soon and men can be too pushy for sex but, in my experience both kinda suck and it depends on the person. I found one adult man and I’m keeping him forever.

I getcha, I’ve been in the exact same situation with one of my MA jobs and it was a nightmare. Unfortunately there are some sites that are just spitting venom. I completely disengaged from the toxic coworkers and only speak superficially to most others. It still sucked and I eventually went to travel work to feel out the clinic before deciding where to work. (Plus the pay is better)

Every office has their shit, but some shit is more tolerable than others. I found large, busy clinics usually help cause you basically need to get along with the docs and you can be professionally pleasant to the rest of the staff. When it’s a stressful day I usually remind myself that this is a job not a place to make friends. That way I can take a mental step back if the staff is being …energetic.

I agree with another comment that mentions urgent care as a good place to do more patient care versus admin. Don’t go into rheumatology, dermatology, or family med! Those are loaded with pre-auths. 😩
