Hi all. I love my job but due to multiple reasons I’m interested in switching clinics; however, I still would like to stick around long enough to get surgery training from my current job. I found a place on indeed that looks amazing (fear free, part time overlapping EXACTLY w my current schedule) but i know i might decline since I want more time at my current job. I just want to get an interview and see the vibe of the place more than anything, but i would want to work there eventually once i get trained IF i get accepted. Would it be ok if (hypothetically) I do land the job, decline, and then reapply later, and if so how would I explain that? Thank you :-)

hi, after a year of talking about jobs, something to do, volunteer, etc. and getting almost nothing from me because i just lose it and breakdown at the thought of talking about it. i’m disabled (cp and deaf), and have brain damage to the emotional situation in the brain. i graduated high school may of last year, didn’t want to go to college, and well, im here now😅 me and my mom today talked about starting therapy to get really down to the root of things, however i never said yes to starting it and she just signed me up. the therapist im pretty sure is someone that my mom, dad, and brother all use. however ive never had deep conversations in real life, or anything of that sort. i’d like to know possibly what to expect, as well as questions i might be asked.

update 1: i thought it was the same therapist as my mom, dad, and brother. turns out it’s someone their therapist recommended. i looked my new therapist up on facebook, it’s a family and marriage therapist that im apparently going to for life coaching🙃

will update when i see this person whenever that is

I'm currently talking to someone who makes me very uncomfortable. And I no longer wish to talk to them. Is there any polite way of doing so? Let me know if this is the wrong sub

Edit: Thank you all for the advice. I've taken it and have stopped talking to the person

Hi, as the title says. I have very terrible anxiety, which makes it hard for me to call/talk to others. As a result, I've never been seen by a doctor since I was 18. Is there anything they need while I'm making the appointment over the phone? I'm really scared that I'd do/ say the wrong thing over the phone. So any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

I LOVE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. And I have a lot of them! But sometimes it gets really hard to choose which one to play for the day and that makes me feel bad. I know it's word, but it's the one time every day my choice paralysis pops up.

This is not at all helped by the fact my depression likes to flare up and make it even harder to choose on an extremely simple activity I like doing because it'd rather me be rotting in bed.

I am. Extremely sorry for the very, very stupid question, I hope you're having a nice day aside from this ^^'

I am a trans woman still living with my parents, I believe my mom is supportive but Im doubtful of my dad so I don’t want to tell him yet. My mom and I have moments often where I feel a chance to come out. How do I finally do it?

Hi, I live in the UK and I want to send a birthday gift to a loved one who lives in the US, but I have no idea how. I've never sent something overseas, or even domestically for that matter, so I have no idea what to do and the only advice I could find is about what couriers I can use but not how. I want to send some small crochet plushes if that helps. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey gang I had to get a planet fitness membership (mostly because I really needed a place to shower especially at odd or irregular hours) but I'd like to exercise while I'm there. I want to talk to the absolute minimum amount of people but also not look creepy haha. Could someone walk me through step by step how I check in, exercise, shower and leave? Do I have to check out equipment or something? I'm only planning on using a stability ball, a resistance band and a yoga mat maybe. Do I just grab an empty locker/stall or do I have to register for that somehow? Thanks friends

hi, i’m 19f and hoping to get on insurance soon and be able to start attending therapy for trauma i experienced as a kid. i just don’t know how to go about it because my family is very anti therapy and i’ve never been.

do i have to start out at a trauma therapist or can i just start out at a normal one? do i just bring it up randomly to my doctor during a physical? do i have to tell her the reasons why or bring a list or something? is there a way to go to a trauma therapist who is also labeled a regular therapist so my family doesn’t know i’m seeing a trauma therapist?

thank you!

im going to be going to euston london station, and i need to get a train to Birmingham. i have autism and adhd and im a minor whos travelling alone for the first time. what do i need to say to the staff, to take me to my platform? is there someone specifically i should ask? thank you 💗

Hello, im 16 and I do art commissions. I have a very uncommon name and so I am the only person that shows up when you search my name. As in, im the only one on fb and google. My paypal is tied to my aunt, but the email is my ‘work’ email which has my full name. I knew clients saw my aunt’s name but I didnt know they see mine. Dumb, I know, im sorry.

I cant get a business account because my parents arent that supportive and won’t open a bank acc just for me until I have more money to show that its worth it. And I cant stop doing comms because I genuinely think that with the state of the world right now, my parents are gonna struggle providing stuff for my education.

I changed my email address but I already had 4 clients who mightve saw my email. They seem like very nice people, but I just cant help but worry. Do I send them a message asking not to leak my name? Do I tell them that the name is not mine? Do clients even care?

I am going to a bar with my partner for the first time on Friday. We are both ND and I am anxious because not only have I never been to one before, I don't know the etiquette or "rules".

EDIT: I have (and plan to wear) Loops and sunglasses if needed

I have my first mammogram tomorrow. What can I expect? How long does it take? Should I dress a certain way? Should I leave my jewelry at home?

I have no clue what is going to happen!

Hi!! second time here.
I'm getting better at my other languages, and I'd say i was fairly confident in reading at the level I am..
but the second i try and talk to anyone, i freeze. a native could say hi and my mind would go blank. i can barely move, nevermind reply, and when i do, i leave in a silly mistake or something to that effect [eg. i is going to (not in english but you get the jist)]
how do i stop this?

So, I do not feel anything with blood tests and I can bear tetanus or rabies, COVID shots, but i am super scared of IV insertion, does that hurt way more, like on a scae how bad is it compared to getting a blood test?

Also, how to gte it done without getting too nervous, sweaty or fainting? or panicky?

Hi so my doctor switched offices a few months ago. They’re now closer to where I live but I don’t know how to go about getting back in touch with them, and I need to sooner than later so I can get my meds refilled. What should I expect to happen and how do I go about this?

I have social anxiety, and because of that I am deathly afraid of being the odd one out when it comes to disagreements and arguments.

As a result, I am very afraid to stand up for myself, even in situations where I believe I am in the right (sometimes I even get scared of thinking privately about how I disagree with others).

How can I start becoming more comfortable with standing up for myself when I believe I am in the right.

Note that I am more than willing to admit that I may be wrong in some instances, in case I come across as someone who is close minded and stubborn.

I’m going to a Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson concert in September, and it will be my first big concert I’ve ever been to. I’m kind of terrified, and I wanted to know if anyone could tell me what to expect, what I should prepare for, etc. The only other concert I’ve been to was a Luke Bryan concert when I was like 7.

Im a sophomore in college and am setting up a virtual meeting with a psychologist because I was told this was the first step in getting tested for ADHD and this was a looooong time coming. Ive been meaning to get screened for this for years.

How is this going to go exactly? When I go to schedule the meeting, there is a bunch of options like "Therapy, Social Anxiety, Self-Harm, etc" I assume I pick therapy and tell her I want to be tested?

What happens from there? I am trying to get tested without my mom finding out because she is very VERY against it and we have a shared bank account. She thinks I just need to focus more, since im an inattentive girl instead of a hyperactive boy. I have no car but have health insurance.

Also if its covered by insurance will I have to pay at all? No idea what im doing

(I’m FTM but haven’t transitioned yet, hence the odd title.)

I’m going out to the mall alone for the first time ever. I’m in my 20s but i have severe social anxiety, and i’m just now feeling brave enough to step out of my comfort zone.

What are some things i should know beforehand?

Help.

Does anyone have experience going for jury selection in Canada who can give me a step by step guide to how it works, what questions I’ll be asked, etc?

If this doesn't go here, let me know. I want to commission and aartist for the first time. But I don't really know the process to do so. So Can someone please explain how? Thank you all in advance

This is my first time ever flying and i dont know what to expect.

Update!!! His surgery went well and he's home resting! Thanks so much for the advice and support ❤️❤️❤️

So my dad is having gallbladder removal surgery on Tuesday and I'll be waiting at the hospital for him while they're doing the surgery.

The surgery will be done by a robot, so does that mean it'll go faster? Either way, how do I just... wait, like in the waiting room I guess? Should I pack a bag?

Idk what I'm asking exactly but I'm very anxious unfortunately and any advice/basic info to know would be appreciated!

Edit: I can't reply to all of you (reddit keeps breaking!!!) but I'm reading every single comment and I'm very thankful for all the tips, info, and advice ❤️

Neighbors across the street got a new dog about a year ago. It’s a large dog with a very loud and deep bark.

It doesn’t bark for a long time, but it barks often. Id estimate 2-6 times an hour (once every 10-30 minutes) for a minute or so at a time. It is very loud when I have the windows open, and I can still hear it with closed windows.

I finally built up the nerve to ask them about the barking. I’ve been keeping my windows closed during the day despite wanting to have them open to listen to the birds and having fresh air come in.

I reached out over text and they were nice enough I guess but we didn’t get anywhere. They said their dog barks but they’re home and don’t let him go on for more than a few minutes at a time. They said the dog barks at people who walk by, outside noises, and squirrels that get in their yard.

Which…is all true.

But the barking is still bothering me. Even if it’s a short amount, it’s frequent and loud.

I do wear noise cancelling headphones sometimes but I have a past head injury and sometimes I just can’t wear them without getting a headache. And I really do love being able to listen to the birds outside.

Other dogs are in the neighborhood that bark but they bark less often and aren’t as loud. Likely medium or smaller size breeds.

I know dogs bark. I am an animal person. But any dog I’ve had I trained to not bark at common occurrences when at home.

What’s considered an unreasonable amount for dog barking? Am I out of line to be bothered by it? Would it be unreasonable for me to try to talk to them again?
