Thought It Belonged Here

Really? Asking employees to pass a drugs test is intrusive and weird unless it is relevant to their occupation. In the USA it is vastly overused as yet another way of controlling the workers.

Making a lot of assumptions. Drug testing is over used a lot of the time. Why does McDonald's need to know if someone smoke weed in order to work there? Or maybe they are having insurance issues, and can't get the necessary meds they need. And without an actual script, you would technically "fail" a drug test even though they arr taking meds they need.

When I was about 8, I threatened suicide for the first time. I told my mom I was going to jump out the window. She helpfully opened it for me. Since then, I've attempted suicide many times (as recently as last night, in fact) but only ever threatened one other time: I was a teenager and called my Mom to say I was suicidal. She said "There's nothing I can do about that." and hung up.

my half-brother, who was like 6 at the time threw a bottle filled with pee, and my mother freaked out. not over the fact that he threw pee on me, but because she needed it for a passing a drug test for work. a direct-ish quote from her is "I needed that for work, d***it!"

Remember those moms who adopted a bunch of kids and then drive off a cliff in California, killing them? They were taken from a mom with a coke addiction who otherwise took great care of them. Just sayin, not ideal, but addicts struggle and sometimes they just doing their best?

Why you would allow someone to pee in the cup at home when you already suspect something..
Cyndi Hafele 9 months ago (edited)
The only times I've had to pee in a cup were for employment. You had to pee at the facility with the bathroom door open and somebody watching you. Then they took the temperature of the pee. It was a whole thing. I can't imagine anybody letting you bring some from home.

Ugh! Another example of why they should mandate licenses for parenting.
Telling someone to simply tough it out when things get hard is pretty unhelpful. When you’re in the middle of a metaphorical storm, what you need is straightforward, practical advice and support, not empty ‘inspirational’ platitudes.
Something that is beyond useful is having a strong social network that has your back no matter what. When you know for a fact that you can rely on your family, friends, and coworkers when things get tough, it’s far easier to be optimistic about the future. This sort of help can be anything from literal physical help and financial support to sharing experiences about solutions to specific issues.

Another major boon that your social network offers you is empathy. You should never discount the power of having folks in your life who are willing to hear you out.
Simply sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone who is actively listening to you can help you work through the stress. And, if you’re in the mood for some advice, they might have a friendly tip or two.

Disclaimer: This Wasn’t Me, I Just Found It On Facebook. I Feel Horrible For The Guy
However, you shouldn’t turn these venting sessions into a regular thing. You do not want to become a person who constantly dumps all of their negative emotions on their loved ones.
Put yourself in their shoes for a moment. How would you feel if all that one of your friends did was vent and rage about how unfair life is? You’d probably start avoiding them.

It’s Enough To Make A Grown Man Cry
Your social circle is there for emotional support and advice. But solving deep-seated issues and shifting your perspective on life is going to take months or years of work with a certified therapist.
If you find yourself always moaning and groaning and bringing the mood down when you meet your friends, you may want to consider seeking professional help.

Bad Headline Placement
Now, this isn’t to say that you should always be happy-go-lucky around people. That’s not what we mean. Toxic positivity can be very harmful because it means sacrificing authenticity for the sake of fitting in.
At the same time, you have to be honest about how your behavior and words make the people around you feel. Always talking about how bad things are going for you is going to strain your relationships. Try to bring the focus on your friends instead of always putting yourself in the spotlight. Hear them out, too. Don’t always be the one who’s venting.

Momentum. It’s A Law

_Always_ tie your load. The force of an object in a crash at 40 km/h (25 mph) is 40 times its weight.
The reality is that we all have things to be grateful for in our lives, even when things aren’t going our way. Even in the worst of times, you can find a silver lining. But you need to actively remind yourself to look for it!
You could, for example, start a gratitude journal where you list a few things you’re happy to have in your life, even if everything else is a dumpster fire. Or you could start every morning by thinking about what these glimmers of light in the darkness are.

Definitely “Sunk” Some Hopes
For example, you might have recently lost your job. However, you’re healthy, have a happy family, and you’re actively working to create a future for your career.
Or you might be under a lot of stress at home or in your personal life. On the other hand, you’re making strides in your creative pursuits, you’re budgeting well, and you’ve been steadily improving your diet.
We all have small wins we can turn to for a burst of hope, even in the darkest of times. This won’t solve all of our problems, but it reframes our lives and gives us a broader, more nuanced view of where we’re actually at in life.

Aside from investing in deep, meaningful, and positive relationships, you have to remember to take care of your body and mind. Get the basics right, and you’ll be better prepared to weather any disappointments and stress that life throws your way.

Fake claim, disproved by Burundi's official sources. Burundi had a slow start with COVID prevention, made worse by the refusal of President Pierre Nkurunziza to ban gatherings such as religious meetings because "God himself would protect his people". After Nkurunziza died in 2020 (of COVID, nonetheless), the following government rolled out mass testings and enforced some prevention measures. Still, they refused international offers for vaccines, preferring to go down the "acquired group immunity" route. When ultimately accepted the vaccines they did so only in small numbers, and with the largely ineffective Sinofarm vaccine instead of the better performing alternatives.
Get plenty of sleep. Spend time outside. Move your body. Eat nutritious food. Drink lots of water. Avoid smoking, junk food, too many sugar treats, and alcohol. Limit your caffeine intake. Get off your phone. Pick up meditation. Spend time on your hobbies and passions, not just stressing out about work deadlines and binge-watching reality TV.
Distract yourself from being disappointed by doing the things that you love and what your body craves.
