I’m sorry to hear that. The changes my friend made are not med related, more on the side of diet and exercise, limiting stress responses, that sort of thing. Like I said, they’re not gone so I’m not saying it’s a cure, just that my friend feels she has a better handle on it.
Absolutely. There’s no better feeling than knowing someone will always be there for you and have your best interests in mind. Cuddles and stupid jokes aren’t bad either, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Even in past relationships that didn’t work out, I wouldn’t say the time/money/energy was wasted either. I don’t regret any of it, even if it was only to find out what didn’t work for me and what I didn’t want in the future.
I know you’re trying to come to terms with being alone, but I truly believe love is worth fighting for, if you decide you want that. I hope you find the peace you’re looking for.
Have you been to see a specialist about it? My friend did, and made some changes to her lifestyle which helped a bit but they’re not gone, just better managed.
If it’s really debilitating then I take a sick day. This is done through an app so I don’t need to justify it. The only time I tell my boss is if it hits in the middle of the day and I need to stop working, which usually doesn’t happen as I can usually tell when I wake up whether it’s that bad or not.
I’m fortunate enough to work from home so it’s nice that I can do whatever I need to get me through the day, like if I get nauseous I can puke freely and carry on without worrying about anyone hearing or walking through the office looking like garbage.
Mine are not that frequent though, at worst it’s like once a month. I have a friend who has it really bad, she’s been off work for ages because anything can set it off but she has no idea what, or how to get relief.
My sister definitely regretted letting me into her house whereupon I proceeded to eat almost her entire block of cheese.
I used to work at an engineering firm and one day I saw one of the engineers leave at like 2pm on a Wednesday and he was like, “Bye, see you next week!” He had been busting his ass to finish a project and already hit his 40hrs for the week.
I was a temp at the time but needless to say, I jumped at the chance when they offered me a real job.
My one dog is very special. She likes to sleep with her head under the couch. She was not pleased when we got a new couch that her head wouldn’t fit under. She sometimes runs into walls and falls off of sidewalks.
My other dog is entirely disinterested in toys. She does not play with them, ever.
I had a friend in high school who got squeamish at the sight of blood, or at least that’s what we all thought. She went on to become a surgeon. Turns out, it’s the idea of people being in pain that got to her. Operating on someone who’s out cold was absolutely fine even if they’re gushing blood all over the place, because they can’t feel it.
It’s not immediately obvious in the store, though I can’t say I’ve been looking in the past decade or so. I’m from BC and my parents used to buy it while I was growing up.
This is me and my husband. I find the part about going through the pandemic together especially true. “After” the pandemic I never went back to the office and the number of coworkers I had who seemed to be flabbergasted that I wanted to stay at home was through the roof. They seemed genuinely confused that husband and I weren’t dying to get away from each other.
I have to admit though, it may have become somewhat of a hostile work environment as my husband has been threatening to tell my boss about all the times I make fish for lunch.
Even if I somehow managed to outrun the stampede and climb the waterfall, I could never ever manage to beat Scar. Thank goodness for older siblings.
I once went on a school trip and practically the whole plane was filled with students. Must have sucked to have been the six other random people.
I snuck meds into cheese for my dog one time, and she is now forever suspicious of any and all cheese whether it’s cubed, shredded, sliced, whatever.
Have you tried just looking young? My sister answered the door (of the house she owned) and it was some sales person who asked her if her parents were home. She said no and closed the door.
I’m also going to need some elbow room in case I need to dodge anything.
What is even the point of having four stomachs then?
I think my boss would be cool with this. I got back from vacation on Wednesday last week and immediately asked if I could take a half day on Friday of the same week.
Usually I don’t have to explain anything as all time off is requested via an app but since my vacation fell during a busy period I thought I should check.
Along with rhythmic gymnastics, synchronised swimming, dressage…
I would say this is more impressive because they don’t get to choose their music nor listen to it ahead of time.
A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can’t be evil, and she’s absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.
Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I’ll offer to let them pet the other dog who’s normal, but fuck that kid, you don’t get to pet any dog today.
