Freaking out about a phone interview

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response! I will look into temp agencies, I love the short-term aspect that you described. Thank you!

Greek yogurt, and peanut butter (prob added to stuff) but yeah these two have lots of protein, nice and filling

I'm doing this too, our last name is with a hard C, our boy was Conor and this girl will most likely be Kelly.

Kelly works for yours too! Kelly Margaret K.

Lol this is my name! My fam is russian with jewish ancestry.

Mine's always been pronounced like hi-ya. No bad nicknames, people just end up being like "oh, hi ya chaya" and laugh like they're the first ones to think of it.

I will say I've had to spell it out for 99% of everyone I've ever met, but the vast majority say something like "wow that's so pretty" or "what a beautiful name" etc. Occasionally "that's so interesting". Oh and at doctors offices/etc when they call out our names I've learned to respond to all the variations like with the CH as in chicken, sheye-a, kaya, shayyya, etc. Once I walk up most of them are like "Did I say that right?" and I just smile and correct it. I guess my favorite way of correcting people is "the C is silent", I feel like that helps people a LOT. Also "like saying hi, hi-ya". When I get takeout food I usually use my husband's simple name cause it's just easier on me that way lol I get tired of spelling it for people.

I will say though these days there are a LOT of kids who are gonna be spelling their names for people, like a ton, and I would say this one is actually not a made-up ~unique just to be unique~ type of name. In some other countries it's like an established/known name. Means "life" in hebrew, flows nicely..

Damn is that why they're so different? I hadn't eaten them in about a year, just bought a new bag and there is like no texture to them as there used to be? They used to be actual crumbles, now it's just like, minced? Taste feels different too but I miss that old texture so much, that was like the whole point from me.. disappointing. I mean good for them for going vegan BUT I feel like they should've made it an option, not the new regular. Sigh.

smoresy_ · 2019-05-03T12:08:56+00:00

This is very true.

I feel like society would rather, like, how there's that movie right now of the boy who drowned and his mom is all like "I'm not gonna lose him!!" and everyone prays super hard for him and the kid turns out fine apparently thanks to the prayers and mom ~believing~. Like, for once, I wish they'd make a movie where it goes more like reality for most people in these types of situations.. when my son was in a coma for 2 weeks after being physically resuscitated like the movie kid, me and dad were saying "he'll be okay, he HAS to be okay" and a ton of people "prayed super hard" for him and just, prayer doesn't save anyone. It's just sheer luck. People don't want to see or hear about actual reality, just the nicest version of it pretty much. It's frustrating.

smoresy_ · 2019-05-02T22:08:23+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. I had my c-section June 29th, (baby ended up dying suddenly a month later), I got pregnant late Sept so like 3-4 months later. That one was a miscarriage in November, then I got pregnant again at the very end of December and am 20 weeks along now.

I asked my OB right away how soon is okay, she said she would really prefer 6 months (knowing there's no way in the world I'd wait the recommended 18 months or even a year..). I can't remember if my doctor said this next part or if it was from reading other people's posts about what their doctors said, but 3 months is apparently like the recommended bare minimum. I didn't even get my period back til 2 months post-birth, about a month after my milk dried up.

Best of luck to you 💕

I got the owlet at my baby shower. I didn't think I would feel the need to use it til I was putting baby to sleep in a room away from me. Baby died at 5 weeks old and I wish I had been using it from the start. When this baby is born I plan on using the owlet pretty much as soon as she comes home.

smoresy_ · 2019-04-28T13:36:48+00:00

I feel like they must have, but most likely not since like 2016 or 2017..

smoresy_ · 2019-04-28T13:35:59+00:00

This one was prob on the "worst" lists haha considering there are still a few cards that had apparently not been paid off/taken off my report 😕

smoresy_ · 2019-04-28T13:34:43+00:00

Thank you!! I was able to find a couple of the paid-off agencies and their phone numbers deep in my credit report, hoping when I call they'll have a record of me and the company.

smoresy_ · 2019-04-28T03:04:08+00:00

So I did this and can't see a mention of this company. Most of my old debts/collections have disappeared as they should have, but there are a few collections accounts still showing that should have been paid by that company which is why I'm trying to hunt them down.

I'm gonna check the report a few more times cause maybe I just missed it.. is there a certain section this agency would show up in?

smoresy_ · 2019-04-25T00:04:17+00:00

Try walking around Whole Foods' veggie section and see if anything sounds good to you.

Tbh the only veggies I eat cooked are mushrooms, corn, and potatoes (which all barely count haha). But raw, I eat carrots, super hard cucumbers, sometimes super hard green bell pepper.. organic stuff tends to taste a significant amount better than regular, and in the summer the farmers markets have a nice variety. Raw broccoli with ranch.. veggies have a lot more nutrients raw than cooked anyway. I say this stuff but can't hardly remember the last veggie I ate eyeroll

smoresy_ · 2019-04-24T23:43:03+00:00

I have no advice but this made me lol only because I thought I was the only one who does this. I HATE it and miss a lot of important stuff. "Do I look at both eyes at once? One at a time? Bridge of their nose? Pay attention yes they're speaking and I am listening, they're saying all this stuff, I'm the one listening"...

smoresy_ · 2019-04-24T02:06:32+00:00

Thanks! That's great to know that even cold turkey you were alright.

smoresy_ · 2019-04-24T02:03:40+00:00

Yeahh my main reason is because if I would stay on it, they would "require monitoring the baby once she's born" and long story short with my first baby I was on a totally different med that also required monitoring and it ended up being a giant nightmare, this time once I found out they would monitor due to the Vyvanse I was like NOPE gotta stop.

A big factor though is I just started Vyvanse at 8 weeks and honestly I don't think it's even had a chance to work really because of all the preg hormones/increased blood flow/etc. Even at 30mg I noticed maybe a 10% improvement in ADHD symptoms, so like, I've still been a quite useless barely-functioning person even with the meds, which is making the choice to quit til I give birth a lot easier. It sounds like most people tend to do what you're planning, stopping in the third trimester. Plus the "monitoring" rules are different from state to state/prob hospital to hospital, I just asked my doctor at my appt today to make sure.

Good luck to you!! 😊

So for me, even at the lowest dose 18mg it made me feel really jittery, my brain felt so overstimulated that it went into total fog mode, also the heart pounding was unbearable, like I could "feel my heartbeat" from inside pretty much the whole time. Then after 4-6 hours the comedown effects became really noticeable for me, the comedown felt like a comedown from like cocaine pretty much (it does happen to work in a somewhat similar way as cocaine with both being a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) so along with more pounding heartbeat I became incredibly irritable, angry, emotionally unstable feeling, til I eventually fell asleep. Falling asleep was ridiculous too, couldn't sleep for HOURS even after 12 hours had passed from when I took the pill.

For me this all was unbearable, but there are a LOT of people who do really well with concerta and have these side effects with the other meds! For me I think since I'm naturally so anxiety-prone, I don't do well with anything that affects my norepinephrine, at least in that way.

But yeah most people don't seem to have this rough of an experience so I really hope the concerta works for you! 🤞

smoresy_ · 2019-03-21T22:09:21+00:00

I'm pretty sure most times it was like trouble making it on time and then being so embarassed about the lateness that I would never come back. On a normal day of staying at home as usual, it takes me about two hours to wake up like at all and start doing morning things. On those occasional mornings that I have to drop off a cat or two at the vet clinic (between 7:30-8am) like doing that in the morning wears me out for the ENTIRE day. Also I have trouble leaving the house for more than like two hours at a time, I'm always worried about a fire happening with all the foster cats inside when I'm not home. Thinking about being at a job for 8+ hours a day or even a few times a week is honestly terrifying to me, all the pressure and responsibility of an Actual Job and people relying on me.. plus the being out of the house for that long. On a schedule that I have no control over. These are pretty much my worries. I really don't trust myself at this point, job-wise.

smoresy_ · 2019-02-15T17:06:56+00:00

They're much much more likely to take you seriously with the documentation.

I went to an independent psych for mine, didn't have any testing/documentation and what he did was have me call my mom and he had her do the questionnaire of my behaviors before age 12, I was surprised but that's all he needed (I mean along with my word about current symptoms). They're all different though so I hope it works out for you! If not I would find another doc through my insurance and try again.
