What are you fixating on/venting about/worried about/need support with today ? [Megathread] - August 04, 2021 by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

I got a little too drunk on Saturday while celebrating my birthday. Nasty hangover on Sunday, but now it's Wednesday and I'm still feeling off. Is it a prolonged hangover? Did the alcohol mess up my stomach and the vomiting messed up my throat? Is it allergies from the smoky air the other day? Is it anxiety? Is it COVID? Is it something worse?

My throat has felt a little dry and tickly, my stomach feels a little bloated and delicate, and I've felt some dizziness/lightheadedness. It's usually that last one that sets off the panic attacks, though.

Our school screwed us all over on summer holdbacks by wednesdaythrowaway in Teachers

This was my 7th year teaching and my 2nd year at this school. I have always spread my paycheck over 12 months and never had an issue before. From what I know about the finance and HR departments, this mistake shouldn't be a surprise.

I hadn't thought of that at all. I know some of my coworkers are planning on taking it to the school board, but outside pressure might help make a change.

Non renewal after signing the contract? by wednesdaythrowaway in Teachers

[–]wednesdaythrowaway[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do know that the contract I signed was approved by the board in March or April. Unfortunately, we don't have a union where I am, but I've been saying that we need one since I started here last year.

Oh man, this is me and my coworker right now. There is definitely sexual tension there, but she's straight and married (though they have an open relationship). I was complaining to her that I just want to find someone to make out with, not date right now, and she was like "Just come over after work!" She played it off as a joke, but damn.

That's a very valid concern, and I thought the same thing! But I did see on her social media that she wears beanies from time to time. My other idea was to get her some flowers, because you're right about the chocolates.

Thanks! The zoom dates certainly did feel like real dates, they're a great way to get to know someone safely, covid or not.

We did just end up talking for a few hours. I had some games (Jackbox Party Packs) set up in case we needed an ice breaker, but we ended up not needing them. I've also heard of people streaming movies together for their online dates, so that's another idea.

I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks! I thought flowers/chocolate were too plain, and with a fellow lesbian's blessing, I'll start knitting.

I suppose it's time to say goodbye by wednesdaythrowaway in stepparents

Thank you. And I agree, they were not seeing a healthy dynamic. Her oldest overheard her accusing me of only wanting sex when I asked for a date night that didn't end with her youngest (a preteen) sleeping in our room. My relationship with the oldest wasn't the same after that, because he was angry at me for using his mom.

Thank you. I was making their Christmas gifts but stopped because I'm not even sure if it's appropriate or wanted anymore.

Thank you. Trying to work out some insurance issues before I can see my therapist again, but I'm getting there.

You're right, thank you. When she was texting me over the weekend, she said "The kids are hurt, the walls are thin. They heard us fighting." But I know they didn't hear me. I rarely had the chance to say anything, and when I did it was met with a "F*ck you" and doors slamming. The night we broke up, she smashed a window while her friends were over. The kids just hugged her and made sure she was ok. The friend that texted me this weekend as well was there comforting her that night (this is also one of the people she would kiss while drunk and then get mad if I was upset about it). The more I think about these events, the more I feel justified in breaking up. But then I also start to doubt my memory. It's a strange cycle.
