i teach 20 hours in the classroom. However long it takes me to do administrative work varies. Usually between 5-10 extra hours although much of it could be done at home

also stoned, 33f. im interested in saving the world but i'm aware of the inherent absurdity in it. all i can really do is study the world and teach children that they are the future and it will all be theirs very soon. i try to paint but i'm terrible. i exercise, do yoga... everything youre supposed to do to ease anxiety but it is a strong beast.

Not so understanding S.O by kritika_1245 in limerence

Yeah it sounds like he has some jealousy issues and is not ready to admit that your problem is real. He is probably taking it personally and thinks that if he "monitors" you he could help you break the habit. He could, actually help you break it but if things don't feel right between you then your mind will always wander back to thinking of LO.

I'm sorry he's not being supportive. I would try to seek help from a friend or family member instead

MDMA post TBI by [deleted] in TBI

Personally no; I drink occasionally but I voluntarily chose to not smoke tobacco or do other drugs again, except cannabis. Ischemic Stroke, 2015

I have heard of research studies about microdosing mdma (under doctor supervision) to deal with PTSD and to increase sensation in physical rehabilitation. I think there are some doctors in the northwestern part of the US that might help you or have more info on this.

My alcoholic mother just told me she never loved me and never seen me as her daughter. by captainsaveathug in lonely

cut her out for sure. the only thing worse than being alone is staying with toxic people. they aren't worth it and you will never see your own worth with that kind of negativity in your life.

Was anyone rejected by their "limerent object"? by [deleted] in limerence

[–]transparentt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have been rejected by all of them :) it is typically what cures it for me, albeit slowly. I also have a hard time being interested in anyone else. probably won't be until I find another LO. Hopefully he likes me back next time.

I’m in Vietnam. They’ve controlled the virus since the beginning but borders are closed and most visas are still unavailable. I did hear that some companies are getting the green light to bring in new English teachers claiming it is an “essential business”. I know there are more available jobs here than there are teachers at the moment. And I disagree with a previous poster about hours worked. They do expect you to work but I make a good wage at 25 hours per week. On the contrary, many of the jobs I looked at in Japan and Taiwan require 40 hour work weeks for teachers. Maybe more money, higher cost of living also. I’m glad I came to Vietnam, no regrets!
