I have PTSD and am dissociating (on and off for several weeks). I’m drowning. Last night it took a large CBD gummy (no THC), Xanax, and a swig of night time cough syrup to go to sleep. Did I mention, I’m drowning?

Can provide more details if needed, but if an employee is constantly coughing at work (small retail establishment), is it okay to ask them for a doctor's note stating they aren't contagious? They're claiming it's due to allergies, but I've gotten several confidential concerns from employees and customers alike due to the current enviornment.

Has anyone used viGlobal? I’d like to know if it’s overall a good HRIS. What are the pros and cons?

Mom of two here (21 month old and 5 month old) who is starting to consider having a third. I am in my late 30’s and my doctor just recommended I start trying at 6 months postpartum. I am thinking I want to start closer to 8-10 months postpartum but have no idea what to expect with a third. Is anyone in a similar situation? Moms or Dads of two, do you ever look back and wish you had tried for three? Moms or Dads of three, how was the transition from two to three and how much did life change?

Can someone recommend affordable health insurance? I left the firm earlier and am expecting a gap of medical coverage until I find a job. Currently not actively seeking either...

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

Have you ever dealt with a colleague that believes in extremely (in my opinion) outdated or even just false claims and treats them as scientific facts? I work with several older men but one of them practices "provocative therapy" as in you just play the devil's advocate with your patient and side with the negative half of their thinking. In theory I could see this working situationally, but as a whole philosophy regardless of the patient's issue I think it's ridiculous.

So really the only exercise I can tolerate is boxing, and those exercises around it. Any thoughts on replicating what I can find at my local boxing gym while on the road?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

How is everyone doing during these crazy times? I’m certainly grateful that I have a supportive partner and we are well prepared staying at home BUT I am incredibly scared by this virus. (Cont..)

Having an animal friend with cancer is not something easy. This year I have already had 24 animals that went to sleep in order to stop suffering. This is not easy for their families at all. It seems to me that the cancer stats in domestic animals are increasing, is this just me?

Finance jobs that aren’t a call center. Current licenses SIE-6-63 and I just need to know my options.

I’m concerned about the surge in omicron. I packed everything, just in case. Q2 is ending, a new quarter is starting. We get new kids each quarter as a Specials teacher.
It’s stressful at quarter changeovers.
In going back after break, it’s too much of a contrast. I cannot sleep, I wake up in the middle of the night, “for the day”, about 6 nights a week. To stay structured, I go to “Surrender yoga” daily. I’m good to go do 1 more thing after yoga. I feel accomplished. Couching causes anxiety.

How many of you have experienced or know of any teachers who have gotten the Coronavirus at work?

Subs! Internal subbing is draining the life out of teachers. The sub schedule comes out at the last minute bc of so many teacher absences. It’s the split classes in one period (1/2 Gen Ed and a Special Ed class) Teachers on a cart. Subs pick up students and deliver students. Class changeovers take 10 minutes bc of the domino effect. We’re all waiting for next sub. Teachers are late for their own classes. Students are in chaos with rotating subs. We pay $100 a day. Is the Solution in plain sight?

How do you deal with finding out that a student died of covid? How do you process it?

SNOW day = self nurturing our wellness day
I couldn't go anywhere or do anything soooooooooo I over enjoyed my self care routine today. When do you find time to love on yourself?

I just had a tough day any self care tips.

How to deal with parents that want to know everything but you don’t want to tell them everything because you want to loose your job?

I truly wish people could understand the emotional damage hoaxes, social media ploys, and ill-intended jokes have on others. It is a deafening feeling when schools become places of survival. Wishing faculty, staff, and students everywhere a safe and peaceful rest of the school year.

Hello all!
So, I am very excited to finally have a real opportunity to connect with you all about self-care.

With the new “Live Conversation” feature on Fishbowl, we can now host conversations quicker and easier than before.

For the first conversation, I’d love to have an opportunity to introduce ourselves, then share with you my stance on the importance of teacher self-care.

Please join me in 15 minutes for “It Starts with You.”

It has taken me well over a week and a half to feel like a human again this break. 3 days left and I feel simultaneously like I’m getting shorted and grateful that I had the time to have my breakdown off-the-clock. When do you go back and are you feeling ready?

True or False: My students can tell when I’m not myself.

Hey you, weary teacher, I see you.
I hear you sigh,
eyes closed,
Head in your hands...

I know the things you think,
the doubts,
fears,
the frustrated pain...

I know you are trying.
I know you work hard.
Sometimes it seems like you’re the only one
in the whole damn school who cares...

I know.
I see.
I hear.
I care.

You are the difference.
You are power.
Through you flows the future.
You author the stories of the world.

I care about the tale you are creating.
Please keep writing. Please.
