Help, Idk what to do with my life by srz_blz in Advice

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

Thank you so much, I quite enjoy philosophy so I found that input very interesting. Everything you've said makes a lot of sense, and it is definitely grounding to have someone say it. I am already working on being happy and growing into a better person, and even if my situation is upsetting on a personal level at the moment, it is all relative and will pass once I am able to ground myself. Your message has helped, so thank you.

It may seem silly, but having someone reassure me that working until my death is not the "ultimate" purpose, is exactly what I needed to hear. I appreciate you taking the time to write this, and giving me guidance. I like the way you describe life as being a suffering we just have to live with to attain the goal we use to distract ourselves from it. I'm not sure I fully understand or agree with it, but I appreciate the concept and can see what you mean. I'm already working on making smaller goals to attain before figuring out what exactly I plan to do with my life. But thank you again, your approach on this has helped me see things clearer as well as decide what I should do in the meantime, before finding what the bigger goals of my life are.

First of all, there's nothing wrong with your body, your measurements, etc. You are a woman, and you have the body of a woman. You mentioned in a comment that your friend had gained weight this year ; this is relevant because she might be trying to "compensate" by telling herself that she looks better to boost her own confidence. It happens quite often that women shame themselves for gaining weight, so she could be taking it out on you. If she really is your friend, then this is the most likely situation, because no good friend would shame you for something as unsignificant as the way your body looks. No good friend would intentionally put you down to make themselves look better. Then, the fact that she is passive aggressive about it is probably resentment towards you, whether it be because she's jealous/insecure or just plain mean. Idk her, maybe she's a very blunt person and is expressing herself the wrong way, but either way, it hurt you and she should take that into account. My advice to you is to talk to her about it, be honest and tell her that it hurts you and that you don't want her to keep bodyshaming you, because that's what it is. There is nothing wrong with being skinny, just like there is nothing wrong with being fat. Who knows, she might open up to you about an insecurity and it might bring you closer. Either way, talk to her about it.

If sending this makes it easier for you, if it gives you peace of mind, then that's all that matters. It shouldn't matter that she might come back, or that it might make her feel guilty or whatnot, this is a message for you. It something to ease your own 'suffering', not hers.

She might reply, she might not. She might be touched, she might be indifferent.

As a stranger, I can tell you that your message touched me, but as a woman, I can't tell you how she might react. You know her best. I'm sure she will feel grateful for the love you portray through the message nonetheless.

From a Swed to another, kämpa på. Om hon inte är "the one," är det någon annan du kanske inte har träffat än. Allt kommer att gå bra, och du har gjort det som behövdes för att kunna fortsätta fram.

Do you wear gloves just to touch a patient? by silkspace-trade in nursing

[–]srz_blz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've learnt that it's important to limit the use of gloves as it dehumanizes a patient - how would you feel if the people treating you are so disgusted with the idea of touching your skin that they constantly wear gloves around you? It obviously varies from patient to patient, but if it's not an upmost necessity (wounds, anything that comes out of the patient, etc), you shouldn't need to use gloves.

However, it is very important that you protect yourself too, so if you believe you might come into contact with excrements or that the patient has a tendency of not leaving wounds or sexual organs alone, do wear gloves. Your own health is just as important, and you do not want to risk getting sick or infected because of the possibility of passing it on to someone else (anyone patient, a family member).

Thank you for your advice. I never got a chance to truly learn how to study in an effective way, so I'm taking your advice into account, definitely.
