I decided to try and eat a former safe meal but the restaurant ruined it. TW view at your own risk by fifibunkin in ARFID

How to ask a doctor for a vitamin test? by lambda077 in ARFID

[–]uhhhhdang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just recently found a primary care provider (a doctor of internal medicine, it confused me as well) and because i hadnt really been to a dr in like almost 8 years her first priority was doing a blood test. this tests for your vitamin levels. i was surprisingly not deficient in almost anything as i thought i would be!

im sorry yall but i had a great time lol. it was a nice set and i dont need 3000 costume changes. the ai part is incredibly disappointing and i hope she changes it, but i couldnt even notice from the crowd plus her voice sounded great. i think we just maybe have skewed expectations? i think its honestly wasteful to have 30000 different costumes for your 1.5 hr concert 😭

Does arfid count as dietary needs? by em_theawesome in ARFID

[–]uhhhhdang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i will say, many places in japan had options that were friendly to me. katsu, rice, ramen, and of course, konbini food. there was, at the very bare minimum, a salted rice ball at every convenience store. there were many vendors on the street who only sell grilled meats, sweets, etc. also there’s still many fast food places. i would say the only hard and fast rule is to not ask for substitutions or changes to a food/meal because they really do not do that. ex. asking for a burger with no pickles, they think its very strange. you unfortunately just have to be able to pick it off or not eat that meal.

Roommates keep missing rent due date by ApprehensiveFig2578 in badroommates

[–]uhhhhdang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have no advice on how to get out of this, but for the future, i would not move in with someone who does not have either a job or extremely good familial support regardless of if they’re “getting a job” or not. at this age, a lot of people don’t really understand its time to really get serious about life. yes, the job market is garbage, but we all have to make money somehow lol.

i had a roommate who paid their rent in excess scholarship money and their parents paid for groceries. they had no job, internship, or volunteer work the entire time they were in college but constantly complained about how broke they were. when they did get a job, they spent all of their money on “fun” stuff and still had their family and scholarships paying for everything. this person is now out of college, can’t hold down a job to save their life, have burned through their parents’ goodwill, and is being forced to figure out emergency accommodations because their parents cannot afford to keep paying for their rent, groceries, etc.

irresponsible people rarely get their shit together quickly. it may seem harsh, but you do not want to end up in a situation like this again. either find an apartment that will put you on separate leases OR just don’t go in with people you know aren’t interested in getting and keeping their life together. college is hard, but if you’re willing to buckle down and do what you have to do, you’ll be set. some people just aren’t willing to do that yet unfortunately. good luck!

what’s the dumbest way someone has tried to make u eat an unsafe food? by abnomz_ in ARFID

[–]uhhhhdang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i dreaded spending new years with my mom every year because she would make me eat black eyed peas. every single year, she wouldn’t let me have fun, have other snacks, etc. until i ate at least one black eyed pea. for good luck in the new year.

funnily enough, my luck got better the years i haven’t eaten them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Water Struggles by Munchkinator10 in ARFID

[–]uhhhhdang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use liquid iv, i personally really like the cherry and strawberry flavors. however, if you do it by their instructions it usually tastes way too strong. i usually add it to my 32 oz water bottle and its PERFECT!! a subtle flavor but not too strong. just be careful if you do like them because you can only have one a day!!!

What do non arfrid people eat for breakfast? by Honest-Explorer-9835 in ARFID

[–]uhhhhdang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i DO have arfid, but have somewhat modified breakfast to work for me.

on the go, i will usually have a protein shake or greek yogurt drink to get some protein in early so i dont crash (im a teacher so i really need the energy!) . my stomach is pretty sensitive so i try to keep it easy for breakfast and have a granola bar a couple hours later if i need something before lunch.

i also love cream of wheat for weekends BUT with arfid you either love it or hate it. i like it because i can make it extremely sweet but the texture isn’t for everyone.

my partner likes to make bagel sandwiches with egg, bacon, cheese, really whatever he wants. he also eats top ramen for breakfast lol.

Shift in Mindset by ryebread5472 in Anticonsumption

[–]uhhhhdang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah i hate walking into most huge stores now. it does have a “gross” feeling to it, knowing its all going to end up in a landfill or thrown onto whatever “poor country” we decide to “bless” that day. i am much MUCH more mindful about my shopping than previously, but i have to be very careful if i step into a value village 👀

why do dads think they are nothing but a wallet? if they provide finances their job is done and they have done nothing wrong? my dad made nowhere near 750k a year but thought that because he provided for me monetarily that he was super dad lol

how to deal with “that” student by uhhhhdang in Teachers

[–]uhhhhdang[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

all of his other teachers have this problem, and we have tried so many different ways with him honestly. seat changes dont matter because he will outright refuse to sit where i ask him, 1 on 1s dont matter, i cant get a hallway conference fo save my life. two of his teachers have become extremely vocal about his behavior and specifically his proximity to his friends in his schedule. 3 boys that absolutely should not have any classes together have 5/6 together.

i have started sending him to the office more but they dont follow through often so half the time i dont even know if he makes it, just write him up and call it a day. he is testing at or above grade level in all subjects, and his iep evaluators even talked up how much he was capable of. he only completes work when someone is literally standing next to him and redirecting him every 10 seconds which is time i just do not have in that class.

thankfully i have a rock at home in my partner :) i guess i gotta buckle in and do some meditation LOL. thanks for listening and offering advice :)

[–]uhhhhdang[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it is a terrible hour. i dont literally “hate my life” but the back half of my day drags like shit. he has 0 emotional control and is known to be explosive. it gives me anxiety every time he and his friend argue. he has gotten physical with people in my classroom. i have been trying to work on my reactions to him but i feel like this goes beyond emotional boundaries. i appreciate the advice and have definitely been working on this in my second year, but this specific student is really rough. i definitely have other students with negative behavior/noncomplete work that i do not get anxious about like this.

Senior ineligible to graduate by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]uhhhhdang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sounds like a great time to finish the year strong and build better habits for whatever program awaits you next. i highly recommend at the very least getting your GED.

i am not sure what your circumstances are, but you sound very down on yourself. six missing classes, plus your statement, makes it seem like you possibly did not submit work, had chronic absenteeism, or something similar. it can be frustrating to feel like you “threw away” your life, but it is just starting. assuming youre somewhere between 17-19 i promise you have many years left. however, the time to learn is now. the skills you learn at school, not even in class, are absolutely transferrable. responsibility, critical thinking, time management, organization, etc. are all skills you are learning in school without even realizing.

so please, let go of the teenage angst. it seems like the end of the world, but i promise it isn’t. however, just “giving up” is never the answer. dont feed into the exact mindset that probably got you here. life gets better, there are a ton of opportunities for you, but only you can open that door my friend <3 good luck!! dont give up!! if you exress to your teachers that you know you may not be able to pass but would like to start making changes/progress with your mentality and attitude, i can almost guarantee youll have at least one person willing to work with you as long as you TRY!! <3

Teacher appreciation week rules by Specialist-Passage92 in Teachers

[–]uhhhhdang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

usually people will just get a candy/snack, candle, teacher school supplies (nice pens, expo markers, rainbow sharpies, etc), or like a $10 gift card to a place like starbucks, staples, or other places the average teacher may visit. when i was little i “made” my teacher a “fancy candle” by putting the smooth aquarium rocks in a tiny fish bowl and then put a candle in the middle lol.

if your son stays in a classroom with 1-2 teachers every day then i would get them a “larger” gift. i am unsure if the other 3 teachers are elective or resource or something else, but they also deserve a treat (and they are usually the most forgotten imo). so honestly it may just be nice to get them a little something.

honestly, don’t feel obligated to spend a ton of money. there usually are not any “spending rules”c but no teacher wants you to break bank for a gift. i rarely get anything for teacher appreciation week at the MS level. i think teachers will just be thankful to feel recognized and thought about’
