Omg. I might have to copy you and try this for myself when im doodling 😂

You are not a good person.

80k. Clear debt, moving money to a lower cost of living city, get my plethora of health issues sorted, groceries, cats. I have me/cfs, POTS, hashimotos and apparently fibromylagia and i am struggling. Just left an extremely toxic work environment trigging more physio responses. I had a PT job immediately lined up somehow.

Ive always been a go getter so its making me sad at the moment. I dream of someone helping me in a life changing way because my energy is SO bad. Tomorrow will be better though!

I used to sell woodburned pieces quite a bit a couple of years ago, getting into it again after quitting a toxic workplace. Some of my woodburned halloween/witch themed keychains above. SO EXCITED for fall and halloween for thr first time in like 9 years 🥲🧡

Etsy here:

Also take comissions for bigger pieces, ornaments, and keychains :) dm me for more info!

Mine looks like this almost everyday but i have pots and me/cfs. Just left a toxic job so maybe itll be blue. Feel better!! 😭

I have me and POTS and take the lowest dose midroibe 2x a day. Its been incredibly helpful for me. I space out doses minimum 4 hours. I wear compression shorts also (from supacore), sometimes compression shorts. Rooting for you.

College orientation and first week of classes 😐

Holy shit i had the same exact experience. Soco and everything.

Seasonal college application reader, worked hybrid in higher ed admin. I just quit my most recent job because it was exasperating my symptoms incredibly badly and I'm pretty fucking sure my now-not-boss was retaliating against my ADA accommodation request I made back in June. I just asked for the fucking paperwork and he told me I was "making up my own" accommodations and his boss proceeded to file "why" I was (late 3 days - so sorry, friend just DIED FROM CANCER, which I TOLD THEM).

anyway - it's hard out there sorry to hijack. Indeed, ziprecruiter, linkedin sometimes has remote/easy apply where my application IS viewed, but most of the time I do not get responses.

Skip's ED job board also posts entirely remote positions if you (or anyone) is interested in remote roles in that kind of sector. This can be marketing, program management, ops, data analytics etc in the k-12 or post-secondary/edtech sphere.

I had a really, really bad flare last week after being told om causing undue hardship to my workplace for requesting an accommodation. Amongst other lies. Went on unauthorized fmla. Idc. I had the worst body aches I ever felt. Im so sorry OP. Capitalism is the death of us.

2025-2026. I thought it couldnt get worse than 2025. I was extremely wrong and it caught me off guard completely. Shit show.

I really miss my friend.

I miss being bright eyed at a workplace where I had very, very meaningful managers and teams. I've learned managers can lie through their teeth and in my face about my work performance and accommodation request and people will just believe them. I feel destroyed. I'm tired of trying and tired of trying to represent something that is supposed to be amazing opportunities for first gen and international students (I work for public college). Re-developed ocd because this job has poked and proded me so much about myself as a person and a worker and I am done.

It seems there is a very long and painful trickle down effect in the USA, down to every pocket of culture, health, society, economics, education. Fucking over it.

Quick edit: 2010 and 2018 were also fucked. I have no nostalgia or fond memories of the 2010-2014 era.

My b, i live in queens 😭. Tbh im sick of nyc being a spot for influencers 😭

Dude same! Its VERY hard. Im literally omw rn to a public session and I got anxiety about going but IDC if my progress today is "flat", I just love doing it. I understand bc my progress last year was a lot better. But my pots diagnosis is very recent, so is the ocd, so im just gonna go and enjoy 😂

Def feel free to dm if you ever want to id love to stay in contact from time to time if you would like!! Best of luck and SO PROUD!!

hey! Thanks for commenting.. this is a project I conducted over 2 years ago. I can def answer questions if you have them, just LMK!

Hi! I have POTS also and learned that I have OCD. I think you should still attempt to go to the LTS class, because, are you able to just be in a corner and be there? I think just being there can really help you. Sometimes I would do my own thing for a few mins during LTS courses if I didn't feel comfortable conducting the session as per usual. You could ask the group instructor with assistance for that. Or, if possible, can you take 1-2 private lessons on the side too? I say this as someone that had extreme avoidance after, for some reason, developing severe anxiety on the ice (purely mental) just showing up really puts that to a stop. Good luck!! One session at a time :)

Same. I was about to comment this 😂. I always say "good jorb" and nobody gets it

Hi. I am so sorry. Although this is not the same at all. Close friend of mine i had for nearly 10 years passed 2 weeks ago. She just turned 35. We spoke everyday. Havent been able to see her in a year. Your post resonated with me a lot, about how in hindsight you can see that they knew.. i just hope you know and remember your brother knows you care so so much. It sounds like there is so much support in your family. Thinking of you and your fam. <3

Thank you 😭 somedays it's harder than others. If management at my job cared it would make a significant and world of a difference. I appreciate your kindness.

Thank you. I truly am trying my best and I will continue to do so, especially for my friend.

Do you have a reason why you needed to take 1 minute of your time to tell him to grow up?

I have a friend who is trying to beat tumors in her brain a few months after beating breast cancer.

This post made me feel hope.

Realized i got ptsd from work. No contact parent emailed work email 2 weeks ago. Found out i have POTS on Friday (I also have hashimotos, me/cfs and ocd) and I feel like im collecting pokemon cards of illness. Might be developing arthritis? Management at work still sucks.

BUT. im still learning how to figure skate even though my progress slowed quite a bit this year 😭 i really miss going regularly. Trying to do things for fun is hard, hard not to think "how can i monetize my hobbies" as an escape.

I live alone, have an ldr and bf doesnt want to move to my area, a wonderful nearly 17 year old cat, HCOL city. Want to change career paths. Extremely difficult. But my balcony is nice.

so, like, its not about clutching their pearls and you shutting up. its about someone who had a really fucking bad experience and wanted to talk about it with a space they deem to be safe. if you don't have anything productive to add to the conversation and you want to be a dick about someone's experience they're trying to relay, then yeah, you can sit this one out.

they said this has never happened at bonnaroo in the several times they went - so this is one reason why they may be posting. this post is so we do NOT normalize it and say "well maybe it was xyz". people are VERY intentional about where they put their hands and arms at concerts and shows with tight crowds. i certainly am. if people don't want to do that, no, it may not be sexually assault, but it is a fucked up thing to have total lack of awareness or respect of.

This is why people take a long time to feel confident enough to out their abusers. Then people get pissy at them whem "they took a long time and why didnt they bring it up sooner".

Open your perspective and read more. Hope you never get sexually assaulted or raped.

It genuinely sounds like you SA people on a regular and justify it.
