2024.05.14 02:42 Lookatmywrist Getting down to the last 4 days of 20 day WF... my experience, problems, and plans

Day 15 today, as many have said I think days 3-5 were the toughest. Still, beyond that my energy has fluctuates seemingly without a clear connection to snake juice amount, water, vitamin, exercise nothing. Some days I am just absolutely dragging ass can't even keep myself from slouching.
Yesterday I realized I've developed a pain in my right thigh, today it has begun in the left as well. It feels deep in the muscle kind of burning or sore, it's definitely a little concerning but my pee is clear and no other symptoms so I've continued. I've been exercising nearly every day with a cardio 3x and weightlifting 3x a week on alternating days. Both have absolutely suffered and some days I cannot do half of what I normally would so I just prioritize whatever I think is most important, do what I can and tell myself I'm proud of myself for just going and doing whatever I do.
From day 3-12 I really lost the hunger for the most part, interesting to me my stomach didn't even ever growl. I'd get phantom food smells and cravings every once in a while but they pass quickly. Oddly enough, ~day 13 the stomach growling came back a little bit and has occurred a few times since then maybe once a day. In the last few days I've been starting to feel hungry again it is also pretty ignoreable and not constant but what's interesting to me is that it feels more real - like my body is really telling me we need to eat something now. I find myself craving things I don't even eat, a sunny side up egg for instance. The majority of my cravings now especially when I get those hunger signals seems to be for protein. I am a carb lover tbh but though I definitely think about carbs and sweets sometimes it is the proteins I find myself really craving in body and mind.
Looking ahead I've bought bone broth, deli meat, and am planning to get kimchi, miso, and kombucha closer to the day. I plan to take it extremely slow with a 5 day refeed of listening to my body and very low carbs up to the 4th/5th day. I'm actually feeling a little bit anxious about the refeed although I definitely feel like I'm ready to start eating again and feel like I have more control and have refreshed any sugacarb addiction that was likely under my surface.
Final note on the electrolytes/vitamins: I take a prenatal multi about every 3 days just a standard multi pill. I found the recipe for snake juice here to be way too much for me, I actually felt worse after having a full serving for 2 days despite also working out. I looked up the RDA on this website https://www.nal.usda.gov/human-nutrition-and-food-safety/dri-calculator Which actually uses your weight/age etc to give you an RDA, I found this to be much closer to what I need and what makes me feel good. I still found the sodium to be a little high so cut it just a little bit but stuck to the potassium and magnesium levels recommended for me there.
Any tips for the next few days, refeed, or comments and thoughts are welcome!

2024.05.14 02:41 Kagros Guide to Infinite Rank with Tribunal Over the Past Four Seasons

Guide to Infinite Rank with Tribunal Over the Past Four Seasons
I've been playing Tribunal for the past few months and I've used it to hit week 1 Infinite every month. It's basically a guaranteed Infinite as long as you know how to identify bots. Because Tribunal always has low power on the earlier turns, the bots will always Snap and you can collect your free 8 cubes. Decklist at the end.
TL;DR: Abuse bots with Tribunal and get easy cubes. Against human players, retreat liberally since you only need a 25% win rate to eventually reach Infinite.
Deck
Metas change, but Tribunal is forever. It's kind of like how Shuri Sauron used to be ol' reliable, before the power creep kicked in. To give an idea how just how steady this deck is, I've only changed it once over the past few months, which was when Zabu got nerfed (swapped it out for Sera). The Shang-Chi nerf at the end of last year made classic Tribunal playable, followed by the Omega Red buff in February really put the deck together. If Tribunal stops working due to the numbers not being good enough, I'd be very concerned with the state of the game.
Right now, with the Patriot meta, running Tribunal might be a bit dangerous since Enchantress is back, but that's nothing our Cosmo can't handle. Always use protection.
I see that the Negative version of Tribunal is running around a lot, but I don't find it as strong. It's great to hide the last turn play, but in my opinion is not consistent enough. Negative may have a higher ceiling, but you are just as likely to miss Iron Man and Mystique and zap down Onslaught and TLT. You also lose Iron Lad, which could come in clutch on Turn 7.
As mentioned in the TL;DR, the strength in the deck is winning 8 cubes from bots. Because we don't put out much power turns 1-4, it's very easy to be losing two lanes, which will lead to the bot snapping on turn 5. You can easily snap back if you have the combo and generally, even if you don't have Magik, you can win games just off of a Iron + Tribunal stack without Onslaught.

How To Play + Notes

Standard line is Magik turn 3 or 4, and then Iron Man turn 5, Onslaught turn 6, and Tribunal turn 7 all in the same lane. The three cards in the same lane gives you 22 power across all three lanes if Magik is in another lane, otherwise it's 24 if you have all three in the same lane. As a result, you absolutely need to make sure you have enough turns to play your combo. If you can't, just hit that retreat button. There are ways around it which I give some examples below, but it's all about managing your energy to set up your combo. Without any shenanigans, you usually average around 28-30 power per lane which will win against most decks.
If you fail to draw Iron Man before turn 5, Sera turn 5, Onslaught turn 6 on the same lane can let you play out Iron Man + Tribunal turn 7.
Ravonna on T2 lets you play Jubilee on T3 and sets up a T4 Iron Man, so you can follow up with a T5 Mystique as a substitute for Onslaught in case you don't find Magik so you can T6 Tribunal.
Cosmo, though, is the secret sauce to the deck. We are obviously weak to cards like Enchantress and cards that can zap Limbo out. While Cosmo will lose you a few games because you are locked out of Jubilee or Iron Lad, it will win you more cubes overall because you won't have to worry about a surprise tech card that loses you 8 cubes. You can always Iron Lad or Jubilee Tribunal on the last turn in a separate lane if it's still in your deck too.
Cosmo will also hose some decks too like Destroy or Wong, so you can pick up those free wins with it.
Super-Skrull is important for the mirror and also helps against all of the Ongoing decks. If I'm up against an ongoing deck, the right play is Super-Skrull + Mystique Turn 7 in separate lanes, one of which has Onslaught on it. Super-Skrull however does make you weak to Loki, though if you see Loki, you best bet is the retreat. Same with if you think it's stolen by Cable. However, just remember that if you have Iron-Man + Onslaught out, their Skrull will not double the Iron-Man effect, so it can still be winnable.
Omega Red is an interesting card and might take some practice because timing matters for Omega Red. If you are winning the lane Omega is played in when you drop Tribunal, it becomes much more harder to disrupt because the boost Omega gives you will also be applied to that lane. I usually like to play Omega Red not on my Iron Man + Onslaught stack because the +3 power can be multiplied through that stack while not taking up a spot on that location. You can play Omega on the stack if you'd don't other cards to fill the stack, but I like to think of it as a fifth card on the stack than have it take up space.
As for cards to watch out for, anything that changes locations is bad. Retreat if you are up against Thanos and they have reality stone. Snowguard Hawk and Legion are even more dangerous, because Cosmo will not be able to stop these unless timed precisely.
Enchantress, Rogue, and Red Guardian are all dangerous. Cosmo protects against these though.
Magneto could hose you if it plugs up your Iron Man lane before you play Onslaught.
Locations don't matter too much since we start our game plan after turn 3. I like to spread out my early plays just in case. If you ever see Mojoworld, make sure it's filled. If your opponent doesn't fill it for whatever reason, you win just by playing Tribunal. Locations that give cards additional power should be played on. Magik away any restrictive locations.
As for substitutions, you can always swap out Skrull for another tech card, especially if you are afraid of it being used against you. Everything else I think has a role in the deck.
Overall, I find this deck to be very solid for climbing. Give it a try; it's basically Solitaire imo. Happy to answer any questions on piloting the deck.

2024.05.14 02:41 sleepykilljoy RE: Friend told me to hide my boobs for graduation?

For reference :)
I want to say thank you for all of you who helped me, you all gave me excellent perspectives and I really love you all for it. Happy to report that I did not go to his graduation. I felt guilty for a bit because you only graduate a few times, but why support someone who doesn’t respect you lol. I did politely let him know he was out of line and that our friendship can’t go forward. Ultimately, you all were right, no REAL friend would sexualize me like this.
Some of you asked how I hide my chest so well, so I’m here to share my big boobie gal secrets for ya :) ❤️ My biggest tip is to avoid bras with those huge moulded, padded cups. All they do for me is add volume to my chest.
My holy grail bra is the Celestine bra from Adore M in a 32H for $24!!! I had the luxury of going into one of their stores to try on a couple styles. This bra fits like a SOCK. The cups are stretchy so even when I get period boobs, they still fit. Downside, they’re never in stock and I bully their instagram daily because of it.
Significantly more expensive but so worth it to me is the Chantelle Norah Chic underwire bra in a 32H for $84 :(. BUT girlies I’m telling you, go to Nordstrom, try this one on and your back pain will be GONEEEE. Slight padding for the nips, straps are also padded, and you can hardly feel the elastic on the band.
My go to everyday lounging bra is this $10 Hanes wireless bra in a Medium. Definitely not for long term wear as there’s hardly support but nice when you’re home and don’t wanna wear a wire. Super stretchy, I was shocked when it fit me, I have 4 lol.
Bikinis are my enemy but I found one this year I was really surprised by. TRUST ME HERE!!! This Victoria Secret bikini&cmmmc=PLA--GOOGLE--VSD_VS_Swim_PMAX--&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhOyK_5z8hQMVBZpaBR2MSgZGEAQYASABEgLiNvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) in a 34DDD fits me like a dream!!!! Straps are adjustable and the band is adjustable through some strings. Their bands are quite small, a 34 gave me better side boob coverage. I got it for $30 on sale and the bottoms are cheap too!
For sports bras, this popflex one is incredible! I tried a small and a medium, the fabric is so stretchy- I fit well in both but I like the tighter feel of the small when I’m exercising.
HONORABLE MENTION: since I wear bras with no padding most of the time, nips show through often. These nipple covers are the only ones worth their money. They don’t leave that dumb ring around your nipple under your clothes LMFAO
BONUS TIP: idk about you guys but I get tons of acne on my back and shoulders where my bra sits all day. The Everyday Brightening Body Wash has been the only thing that’s tamed my acne.
PSSSSSSS - the green dress is from H&M for 12.99!!! I’m wearing a small :)
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what works for me and this list is all I’ve got LOL. I’m happy you all find me stylish and have been so sweet to me. I hope this helps some of you out the way you guys help me!!! ❤️

2024.05.14 02:41 NeedleworkerLife8661 Pre Op Leg day

Anyone know if there is any effect to working out the night before a quadricep autograft acl reconstruction?
For context: I tore my right ACL about a month ago. I have surgery tomorrow morning and by working out I mean low weight leg extensions, and some medium resistance biking? I have no pain with either of those.

2024.05.14 02:41 RatherBeDeadRN PSA to pet owners and drivers

TW: death of an animal
About an hour ago I watched a cat get run over on Sunnyside. The person who ran him over didn't stop. Didn't slow down. Didn't come back to see if he was ok. I watched the whole thing and then watched his little body spasm as I waited for a break in traffic to go pick him up. He died in just minutes, but was very clearly in a lot of pain. I was able to move him out of the road and stayed with him so he didn't die alone.
If you have pets, please don't let them out to run around free range. If you can't keep them inside, then please please please keep them on a leash, a carrier, or in a secured area.
If you're a driver in Salem, please keep an eye out for animals and stop for them when you can safely do so. If you do hit one, please go back to check on it. Please don't risk them getting run over again while they're injured and most likely unable to get out of there.

2024.05.14 02:40 Fast-Vacation8096 Had core biopsy today on 2 sites

Friday had diagnostic mammogram and diagnostic ultrasound after finding a lump, had core biopsy today. Birads 5, one 4.5 cm irregular mass spiculated margin, 5.4 cm hypoechoic. Both are close together and they are not sure if it one large or 2 due to my dense breasts. I have to say I did not even feel the biopsies at all, and it was very interesting to watch it on the screen from the ultrasound. Sitting at home with ice packs stuffed in my sports bra hoping when the Lidocaine wears off I don't have any pain. Just wanted to share as I have not told anyone, I just have this strong feeling it will come back as benign and don't want to needless worry anyone.

2024.05.14 02:40 ricedreamer I caved and called him the other night

You can check my post history to see the full story, but my WP had a ONS in Vegas and now, we are starting to reconcile. (So I changed my flair! Haha)
So Saturday night, I was just feeling so, so alone. We spent every weekend together for 3.5 years and this change has been just heartbreaking. I found out I was pregnant days prior and told him over text, and he was onboard with me terminating. Right now is not the right time, especially if we want to fix this relationship.
So at 1am, I called him and he answered. We spoke from 1am to 4:30am. We talked about our entire relationship, how we feel, and just everything really. We sobbed and we laughed and it gave me hope. We briefly touched on the ONS without detail, I just needed some answers to burning questions. We agreed that we will go over that night while in CC so there is a mediator.
But gosh, it was so good to hear his voice. He was so happy to hear mine. He told me he started journaling, and was cuddling with my Snuggie/robe thing at night to help him sleep, because it smells like me. He’d say goodnight to me in his journal. I don’t know why, but that broke my heart and fixed it at the same time.
He apologized again, and this is the first time in our relationship that we were completely honest with each other. It was terrifying, and hard, but it felt good. We realized we cannot protect each other from hard emotions in order to preserve our image of each other (if that makes sense?) we realized that we would get caught up with the good things and just sweep any negative thing under the rug, big or small.
He showed me everything he needed to show me, without me asking. Apps deleted, people blocked, everything. Told me his plans on how to change his life and change himself to be the man I deserve. And I believe him. And I forgave him.
I told him that he has to do the work (self reflection, IC) in order for us to work. He has no choice if he wants me back. He agreed, and I said I will meet him halfway so I can be good for him too. He’s showed me his booked appointments, I showed him mine.
I told him I still can’t see him in person yet, because that will be way too much and he respects that. We are still low contact but we did text a bit last night, I just wanted to thank him for his honesty.
I was worried about calling him, because I was scared about how I would feel. Anger? Resentment? Complete apathy? But I felt none of those in the moment. Once I heard his voice, I knew it will be worth it to give R a try. This was step one.
I don’t know what the future looks like yet, but I am cautiously optimistic. What I do know is that I love this man, and that we are both willing to do the work.
Together or not, I just want both of us to feel happy and secure with ourselves.
Thanks for reading 💛

2024.05.14 02:40 sarynstudios Diagnosed with GERD but having some troubling new symptoms

Hello, I’ve been experiencing symptoms since the end of January 2024. I was diagnosed with GERD in February. It started out as just acid reflux 1-2 times a week, and has progressed into more and more symptoms since then. This is starting to worry me as medication isn’t helping and it seems to be getting worse
Background info - 23 year old male. 6’2 and 184 pounds. Gym 4-5 times a week. I don’t drink or smoke. The only prescription meds I take are ADHD meds & hormones (TRT)
Symptoms have progressed from occasional acid reflux/regurgitation when laying down at night to a list of the following symptoms-
Acid reflux/regurgitation randomly throughout the day, everyday for months. I even have reflux/regurgitation when standing up or sitting. I’ve had reflux attacks on the treadmill at the gym.
Bloating almost all day, everyday. I wake up in the morning bloated, after I eat I’m bloated, when I lay down to sleep I’m bloated.
Nasal drip throughout the day, but especially when I lay down to sleep.
Major loss of sleep everyday. I can’t tell you the last time I slept 6+ hours.
Fatigue, most likely due to the lack of sleep but just figured I’d mention it just in case.
Bubble guts, I can feel my stomach/intestines moving. I can feel movements and it even makes sounds loud enough for my family to hear across the room 5+ feet away.
Loss of appetite to the point of adding more stress/fatigue/low energy.
Bowel movements- Constipation mixed with watery small movements. My movements haven’t been consistent for months.
Weight fluctuations- 2 weeks ago I weighed 188. I weighed myself today at 6:30 and I was 184.1. My actual weight is probably around 180 but I have been trouble going to the bathroom regularly so I know I’m holding a few pounds in.
Newest symptom happened this morning. I have a mouth sore that is white and surrounded by redness. It’s slightly painful and It’s on the my lower right jaw below my molar tooth about 1/4 inch down.
I’ve tried omeprazole, esomeprazole, Zantac, Tums, alkaseltzer, baking soda water and diet changes but nothing has alleviated symptoms.
I’m starting to think this might not be GERD since the symptoms are getting worse and meds aren’t working at all.
I have an ultrasound scheduled for June 6 to check for a Hiatal Hernia but my insurance won’t cover it so I might have to cancel. I’m open to any ideas or advice from people that have gone through similar symptoms. Thanks :)

2024.05.14 02:40 octo-time Bleeding using toys

Haven't used toys in a while. (A few months);went back and had no issue warming up. Moved up to a bigger toy and had no pain but was a bit of a stretch. Noticed bright red blood. But still no pain. Had this last time I used toys too. Never very hard or fast and nothing I hadn't taken before. Is this likely to happen every time. Maybe I went to quick. Any advice. I've taken way bigger in th past with no issue. Seems like the last few times have had me bleed slightly even months apart

2024.05.14 02:39 APKLive2096 Recently Diagnosed with AS.

I've been experiencing chronic backpain since 2020. I believed for the longest time I had a pulled, or strained muscle due to overtraining.
In the last year, my mid back pain became intolerable so I decided to finally be proactive and assess what was happening.
After rounds of physio, xrays, MRIs and CT scans - my doctors finally concluded that I have AS and a ligament between my T10-T11 had fractured. Im always sore, tired and it hurts to breath deeply.
I have my first appointment with the rhumatoid specialist in 2 weeks and I am wondering if there's any questions I should ask during my first assessment?
Also, is there anything that can help relieve the pain besides general exercise and stretching?
To date I haven't found anything to help relieve my pain and Im starting to find its affecting my mood more.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

2024.05.14 02:37 GoldDustRose69 Help hypoparathyroid

Hi All-I was recently (after 3 months) diagnosed with hypoparathyroid.i am on month 5. I have 4 nodules on my thyroid. They are benign. I swing from 0.5PTH and average 2.1/2.2 on calcium. I experience the worst back stiffness which is like middle back cramp. Recently accompanied by leg and arm numbness and pins and needles. I am really struggling with the burning pain of the cramp and been put on vitamin D and 500mg calcichew. Nights are really bad as I cramp up. Can anyone please share their positive experience of this and their treatment? I am also undergoing autoimmune testing but after 5 months feeling v low. I dread bedtime and my partner is now getting stressed out as I struggle with pain even on lifting the kettle or changing the bed sheets. I used to workout daily and now the cramping is too much. Any advice massively appreciated.

2024.05.14 02:36 Big_Use_4272 5 months of pain

Quick recap- For 3 years if I’d smoke or drink I’d be short of breath the next day for about 3 hours. In December my stomach started throbbing and twisting (would last about 1 minute) and I just kept ignoring it. In January, I went for a walk and got really short of breath and disoriented and went home to go to bed, had fever and chills, woke up fine. Went for another walk and worse symptoms arose, tingling in hands, heart racing, felt like I was going to pass out. Since that I’ve been short of breath so bad to the point I can’t walk very far or work, heart/stomach/groin palpitations, twitching all over, chest pain, feels like stomach is stretched, I burp a lot. Some acid reflux but not much and is worse after I eat. I have constant pressure in sternum and SOB. Sometimes I get a weird feeling in throat, which leads to my head instantly and makes me dizzy for a second. Switching positions in bed, bending over causes sternum pressure. I cannot lift anything heavy, it’ll take my breath away. The first couple months was really bad. I’d start falling asleep and my body wouldn’t inhale again, I’d wake up gasping for air
Went to ER a bunch and every specialist and they all say I’m fine. NO DAMAGE TO LUNGS, HEART IS FINE
I’ve done an endoscopy and today just got back barium swallow, all negative. Still convinced I have a HH. I have every symptom. Or I have some weird vaping disease but doubt it because of no opacities in lungs and even a beer or cigarette would make me SOB

2024.05.14 02:35 hopsizzle Looking for a bit of advice on purchase

So I currently own an electric car that I still owe 38k on. Partner has a Subaru crosstrek.
I'm looking at getting a truck to do just small home owner stuff. We've been doing a bit of yard work with plants, pavers, sand, dirt and just light-ish duty lawn work. It's a pain to load up the Subaru with stuff and it's not really made for it though whatever we've put in there it's taken like a champ.
However, I'm half tempted to trade in my car for a Ford Lightning because of the current price OR get a third vehicle that would be the Maverick Hybrid.
I was thinking if anything I could lease the Mav and take it back in 2-3 years and maybe by then we have an electric Ranger or even Maverick. I work from home so gas would only ever be used on the weekends or for trips where I dont want to take the electric car and want some better mileage than the subaru.
Not having to worry about gas is amazing after owning a mustang for 10 years so it would be hard to go back to an ICE vehicle after not having to worry about gas for the last 2 years.
Lightning is just too big for me and I wouldn't want to get rid of my car but the price would necessitate a trade in. I do have a charger in my garage and I'd have at best like 7-8 inches of clearance to fit it in there to charge.
Anyway, maybe y'all have some thoughts. Should I just hold out for both the '25 F150 refresh or even the 25 Mav? I dont need this immediately as my needs are mostly covered. I can be picky with these types of decisions.

I was is a car accident almost 4 years ago that left me out of work for a year and I have to go to the chiropractor at least once a week to manage the pain. Since the accident i haven’t been able to work out due to my back and hip issues and i gained about 60 lbs. I’ve changed my diet, gotten off birth control, and moved to a job with less stress but i can’t seem to lose anymore weight. My mom and aunt are on ozempic and had great results.

2024.05.14 02:34 Budget-Welder-47 Firm mattress under $1000

Hi I'm a new grad who always lived with a provided mattress from the dorm finally moving out to my own place! I am looking for a queen size mattress, firm maybe like 7-8/10 that is under $1000. I'm a back and sometimes side sleeper, and the weight really doesn't matter. I was reading a lot of previous posts on queen mattresses under $1000 and looked at silk and snow, dream cloud, nectar, and boring mattress. I am really lost which one to go for. It seems like silk and snow comes with damage and with bad customer services, dream cloud gives back pain, nectar-ppl don't like it??!, and boring mattress might be too soft for me. Do you have any thoughts or recommendations for me? I'm not a mattress expert or a picky sleeper so I really just want to find one that I can sleep without back pain. I never thought mattress shopping would be this hard haha

2024.05.14 02:33 Lost-Maintenance6287 Navigating nursing while pregnant

I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant with my first working in an EP/cath lab. Long story short, I discovered my department sucks for a ton of reasons, but most importantly I’ve had to pull teeth to get basic safety measures in place. After asking for weeks for a fetal radiation badge, I reached out to the radiation safety officer of my hospital to find out they never even ordered me a badge. I was nearly done with my first trimester before I was properly being monitored. There’s been several other situations where I feel like I’ve been unsupported by my team. Plus, the lead is starting to become very heavy on my belly/chronic back pain and I still have soooo much longer to go lol.
I’m thinking about going back to ICU part time (which I was avoiding initially in order to reduce stress).
How did you manage nursing (specifically bedside) while pregnant? If you were in this situation, what would you do? Did you work up until delivery? How about after maternity leave? Do you think 12 hour shifts are manageable with a newborn?

2024.05.14 02:33 ImSeriousTLOU Struggling - $42,000 in vested retirement account. Not sure what to do.

I’m 40. I’m finishing grad school this summer and I’ll be a counselor. Because of some ventures and risks I took in my 20s, I didn’t really start working until my 30s other than part time restaurant jobs. I had a government job that was low paying, but it got me through college once I stopped the self-employment ventures and turned 30. I haven’t worked for a year because I had no choice but to leave my job for this last year of grad school which has included lots of practicum hours as well as full time school schedule.
The job was state government, and I’m being totally honest, I can’t imagine going back to state government. I would need 18 more years to even retire with my state’s pension system with the 9 years I’ve put in. I might go work a year when I graduate so I hit my 10 years and get public service loan forgiveness (it was all verified correctly with the various loan servicers). I don’t have to get the 10th year from a government job, either. Just a qualifying non-profit of some sort which will be easy with my grad degree. Plenty of treatment places that are qualifying and it would be good experiencing.
So anyway, I am strongly considering cashing out the 42,000 that is in my state’s retirement account, pay the tax hit and fees, and use the money to get out of the hole I’m in, graduate with a clean slate, maybe set aside 5-7k for an emergency fund, and start saving.
I own a home with a cheap mortgage. The reality is that I will inherit a pretty sizable estate from my mom. She is in her late 70s and won’t be around much longer. I am not going to ask her for money at this point.
It is also my understanding that if I wanted to return to government employment, I could buy my time back if I had the money, which I will once the inheritance happens.
Even if the inheritance somehow doesn’t happen, I am still out of money. I’m really struggling and just want a clean slate with my degree and new career.
I would pay off about $10,000 credit card debt. Pay my mortgage ($550 a month) and other bills such as phone, insurance etc until employed and back on feet.
While not counting on it, I have a few things going on that I suspect will be financially rewarding but I’ll be fine if they don’t.
I’m just tired, health issues, and want to stop being stressed.
I should add that because of the health issues, I highly doubt I’ll see 65 years old.
I have a pretty simple life. No kids. Don’t want them. Small home and there isn’t anything I can’t live without burning a hole in my pocket. I just can’t think of a reason to be sitting on this money when it could really really help me right now. My 30s were really hard because of all the health issues. They are finally diagnosed, healed, etc, but took a toll.
How would I calculate the penalty from cashing out the $42,000? Would it be like 30-40%?
Thanks, PF!

2024.05.14 02:33 ABCyung Accidentally punctured the side of my thumb with a syringe

Hi 24F and I accidentally punctured my thumb quiet deep with a 3cc syringe
Here’s what happened: I was opening a 3CC syringe when I didnt notice that it was uncapped. When I fully opened it, the needle went through the packaging and punctured the side of my thumb. Thankfully, this needle isn’t used and didn’t have any other persons blood in it;twas empty
I stopped the bleed with a gauze when I noticed that it bruised and the throbbing radiates to my finger and slightly to the upper part of the arm. Could it be that I punctured a nerve? Should I be worried? The puncture site is the most painful tho
TL;DR: accidentally punctured my thumb and now its painful and bruising

2024.05.14 02:33 sarynstudios Diagnosed with GERD but having some troubling new symptoms

Hello, I’ve been experiencing symptoms since the end of January 2024. I was diagnosed with GERD in February. It started out as just acid reflux 1-2 times a week, and has progressed into more and more symptoms since then. This is starting to worry me as medication isn’t helping and it seems to be getting worse
Background info - 23 year old male. 6’2 and 184 pounds. Gym 4-5 times a week. I don’t drink or smoke. The only prescription meds I take are ADHD meds & hormones (TRT)
Symptoms have progressed from occasional acid reflux/regurgitation when laying down at night to a list of the following symptoms-
Acid reflux/regurgitation randomly throughout the day, everyday for months. I even have reflux/regurgitation when standing up or sitting. I’ve had reflux attacks on the treadmill at the gym.
Bloating almost all day, everyday. I wake up in the morning bloated, after I eat I’m bloated, when I lay down to sleep I’m bloated.
Nasal drip throughout the day, but especially when I lay down to sleep.
Major loss of sleep everyday. I can’t tell you the last time I slept 6+ hours. I use to get 8+ hours a night before January
Fatigue, most likely due to the lack of sleep but just figured I’d mention it just in case.
Bubble guts, I can feel my stomach/intestines moving. I can feel movements and it even makes sounds loud enough for my family to hear across the room 5+ feet away.
Loss of appetite to the point of adding more stress/fatigue/low energy.
Bowel movements- Constipation mixed with watery small movements. My movements haven’t been consistent for months.
Weight fluctuations- 2 weeks ago I weighed 188. I weighed myself today at 6:30 and I was 184.1. My actual weight is probably around 180 but I have been trouble going to the bathroom regularly so I know I’m holding a few pounds in.
Newest symptom happened this morning. I have a mouth sore that is white and surrounded by redness. It’s slightly painful and It’s on the my lower right jaw below my molar tooth about 1/4 inch down.
I’ve tried omeprazole, esomeprazole, Zantac, Tums, alkaseltzer, baking soda water and diet changes but nothing has alleviated symptoms.
I’m starting to think this might not be just GERD since the symptoms are getting worse and meds aren’t working at all.
I have an ultrasound scheduled for June 6 to check for a Hiatal Hernia but my insurance won’t cover it so I might have to cancel. I’m open to any ideas or advice from people that have gone through similar symptoms. Thanks :)

2024.05.14 02:33 No-Sun9493 Is it better to just transition and not come out?

There's possible trigger for transphobia as I might get into what my family has been like.
I've been wanting to medically transition for years now and have only been able to do more cis acceptable things like take pills to stop the monthly problem, cut my hair, wear masc clothes and all that.
I'm out to my partner and my friends but that's about it, last time I came out to my family it was a slow and painful struggle to get them to acknowledge my gender despite them "accepting" me, they'd cry to me about how they wished I was "just a lesbian", I wasn't allowed to correct them, but on the few occasions I would (because I would get really depressed about it) they'd make themselves into the victims all because I would say "I'm not a girl".
I eventually got kicked out a year ago, (it was more they were trying to threatening me to not transition but I packed my things and tried to leave, they forced me to stay at my grandparents place and then I just ran away from there because I didn't want to be trapped anymore). So fast forward to now, me and my partner live together and both have jobs, I got back into contact with my parents around Christmas, but I still don't let them know where I live.
These days I'm too afraid of coming out to people, my housemate got me a new job at her work but I feel unsafe to come out and risk losing that job, and although my family has been less awful they still don't see me as a man, I literally don't want to see the rest of my family as they said straight up awful and transphobic things to me.
I feel like it would be less risky for me if I just tried to medically transition without formally coming out as some people just wouldn't notice the changes and the people who would, would not be able to stop me as I'm already transitioning.
Idk I'm just tired of being stuck in this body, but I don't want to just lose what I've built up.

2024.05.14 02:32 Square-Effective7120 Burning pain in hip

So I've got a herniated disc at L5 with bad DD and I was bedridden for about 2 years due to the pain. Meds/pt didn't work. Mri showed herniation, but no significant compression of nerves.
I've recently had a massive reduction in pain (no clue why). The only remaining pain I have is in my right hip. After I stand for 20 minutes, my right hip begins to burn and pain radiates down my leg and into my abdomen. It's sort of like sciatica, but it burns more.
I also have noticed that I tense that leg up super tight and am wondering if tight muscles are to blame. Does anyone have this kind of pain and can point me in a good direction? I'm wondering if there are particular exercises to try. I'd rather not get another mri if I can help it.

2024.05.14 02:31 Flat_Statistician_43 I Can’t Stop Trying to get her Back

I really thought she was the one and then she goes and gives up. I thought we would grow old together and then one day to another she just bails. I can’t stop wanting her back. I can’t stop thinking about her and I can’t imagine every finding someone who gets me like she did. I miss my best friend. How is she not dying right now? I know she mourned during the relationship but this is hell. I know she still loves me, she said so herself. Why not fight for something you love? Because shes moving on to the next step in her life and she feels like I’m holding her back? She felt the relationship was too codependent and sure I agree but why not bring it up at some point? Why not tell me? I always pushed her to be better, I always made a clear effort to communicate and hash things out properly and she never communicated back. I think she started to think that she could do better, she saw me just as her first guy and its crushing my soul.
Why couldn’t she just communicate better? I get that we are young but being scared of a great relationship is ridiculous. We had some issues but nothing that couldn’t be solved. And the worst part is that shes not here for me to vent about this. I know I should’ve had more self respect and I know she shouldn’t have been everything in my life but thats what it felt like. Every day is dull and painful.
My brain wants to move on, I know its better if I just let her go but I can’t help plan to get her back. Ive lost 20 pounds in 20 days I’m addressing my issues all to get another shot at someone who left me behind without any regard. I have this plan in my head on how to get her back and I feel helpless to not do it. I keep looking up how to get her back. I keep looking at that stupid 30% of couples get back together number and justifying to my brain why we will fall in that 30%. I hate it. I’d rather move on but my heart wont let it happen. I keep trying to get information to her through the grapevine and anything I learn about her feels like a stab to the gut.
Granted its only been three weeks, but man I felt like I was making so much more progress at first, now I’m stuck and still in love with her like when I had a crush on her.
It feels like she made a mistake and I want her to realize it. I feel like she has to first realize how much single life sucks, I want her to regret it all and come back. But I don’t want to spend so much time feeling like this. I’d rather move on than suffer for someone who won’t put in the effort.
Please give me any wisdom you have, I can’t stand being like this. Its so hard not to call her. I want to call her so bad.
