How to resign to accept new job offer while on job protected medical leave (for stress reasons)? (Ontario, Canada)
Location: Ontario, Canada
I went on job-protected medical leave a few weeks ago because of stress at work. My doctor's note covers one month, and I plan to renew it monthly. I applied for EI sickness benefits and I'm receiving them now.
I've decided not to go back to this employer. I'm interviewing and may get an offer while I'm still on leave, so I want to leave properly and not cause any problems with my EI.
My questions:
1. Once I accept an offer, how should I resign while on medical leave? Do I have to come back and work a notice period, or can the resignation take effect while I'm still off?
2. If the new job starts before the end date on my doctor's note, what do I need to do to stop my EI sickness benefits properly? Could starting work early cause any issues with my claim?
3. If the new job falls through, for example the offer is withdrawn or I'm let go early through no fault of my own, would I still qualify for regular EI even though I resigned from my previous job?
Any help is appreciated.

Supplements with PMOS
My doctor had me start on myo- and D-chiro inositol and NAC. At first, I felt great! I had so much more energy. And now I am back to feeling super sluggish, needing a nap every day, while going to bed pretty early.
I have a one year-old, so I know that doesn’t fully help things. But she’s sleeping through the night, and most nights sleeps from 730 to 7 (I’m really blessed).
I can’t get in with my doctor for a little bit, does anyone have anything similar? Or any other tips? I’m thinking about stopping the supplements.

If you told your friend you nearly died and they couldn’t stop smiling, is it okay to ghost them?
I really need advice.
I’ve been friends with this girl for 3 years now, I’ll call her Sarah. Last month she did something that I couldn’t make excuses for, which made me completely ghost her. The longest I had gone without texting her was a week and it’s now been nearly 2 months without me messaging or contacting her, and she’s messaging me to ask how I’m doing. I need advice on whether I should continue to ignore her or if I should say something.
So what actually happened? There were signs leading up to my birthday where she wasn’t really messaging for weeks, and just seemed distant and her communication even when meeting up on the day was very poor. I had to keep chasing up and asking if she was even still coming because of her silence. When she arrived that day I waited outside the restaurant for her, and chatted to the security guard in the meantime. When she arrived she completely ignored me and pretended I wasn’t there (when I was right in her line of sight, not even just in her peripheral vision). It was so rude that even the security guard called her out on it and looked upset on my behalf. I thought ‘she probably didn’t see me’ and moved on.
When we were catching up the conversation was quite dull and she wouldn’t really smile or laugh, and it just felt quite uncomfortable and awkward for some reason. I thought ‘she must be tired’.
A couple weeks before this I had been admitted to A&E several times, as the doctor described my condition severe and said I was close to a possible sudden death. When I told her this, her eyes lit up and she laughed for the first time since she arrived. This entire time she didn’t crack a smile but the moment I told her about my possible sudden death…etc she fully laughed (it wasn’t a nervous laugh either) and her body language wasn’t so stiff anymore. I was in shock. A friend heard about my near death experience and…she can’t contain her delight. She couldn’t hide how happy it made her.
She had been acting quite iffy with me for the past couple months and I made excuses for her, but for the first time there was no excuse I could come up with to warrant this reaction. I felt like she had accidentally shown me her true feelings and let the mask slip. I knew there was something wrong and I had tried to talk to her but I can’t read minds, if you don’t tell me about a problem you have with me then I can’t fix it. This reaction showed me she secretly hated me but what could I have possibly done to get her to hate me? I don’t know, but what I DO know is if I hated a ‘friend’ that much, I wouldn’t keep hanging out or keeping in contact with them.
For the rest of my birthday dinner I had my guard up. Due to a horrific accident I was in last year I haven’t been able to go to the gym and it’s something I was very self conscious and spoke to her about. But knowing this, she pointed out my weight anyway and made a couple other back handed comments throughout the night.
She also made me take a LOT of digital photos of her, to the point where the waiter brought the ‘Happy Birthday’ plate and set it down in front of her as it looked like it was her birthday instead of mine, as I was being celebrated so little. I had to communicate and ask for her to also take pictures of me, but after me asking two times she started outright ignoring me.
I think the biggest issue I was unable to get over was her delight at hearing how I nearly died. Everything else I can get over, but I can’t get over THAT.
I can tell you from experience that this girl does NOT like communication, she cannot take any accountability and gets very upset if I try to tell her that she’s done something wrong so I knew there was no point even ‘communicating’ this with her.
I’ve decided that I don’t really want to save this friendship and I’m frankly done. But I can’t keep running away from my problems and pretending they don’t exist. Has anyone else been through anything like this? What should I do? Do I continue ghosting her or should I say something?

Another session
Update: i decided to skip the cover up tattoo and continue removal. I went to the med spa I have been going to for removal to ask some questions and whatnot and ended up just doing another session while I was there. They recently got a new laser and also hit it with a fractional laser as well. My tech was very impressed with my progress over the past 4 or so sessions and seemed to be pretty optimistic about this one. So anyways here’s a pic right after session number 5. After I finished the session I forgot how much of a weight you feel is lifted off of you.

Avoidant to my feelings
My (20f) boyfriend (23m) died incredibly suddenly and out of nowhere 3 months ago from an acute leukaemia. I was out of the country and nobody knew how sick he was til after he was at the hospital, where he died several hours later and only got the cancer diagnosis after he passed. I was an absolute wreck for a while, but after a month or so I started a new job and decided to keep on full time studying because I needed things to do. I’m quite an avoidant person and have never dealt with grief before, and I know there’s no right or wrong way to do it but I can’t help feeling like I avoid thinking about him. When the day he died or his funeral come into my head, it is so incredibly painful and brings a pit to my stomach, like I physically can’t face it. In many ways my life is back to normal now and it’s nice to keep myself busy and make plans for the future, but I also feel quite guilty about that because I know what happened was awful and so unfair, and he was such an amazing person. I cried so much after he died but I don’t think I’ve properly cried in 1-2 months now.
Has anyone else dealt with avoidant feelings like this after losing someone? I’m planning on seeing a councillor soon.

Insane game story. (Positive post)
I have recently become a tower terror. Ill get to a tower where an enemy team is likely to fob up. Build some barbed wire and be a menace till I die. I usually die. But on the Z map (big warehouse map) I went to the blue tower as green right off the rip and they had already placed a fob and a door at the base of the tower. With some barbed wire.
I landed my lilbird on the top of the tower and quickly made my way down with my 1911 hp ammo ready to fuk. AND FUCK I DID. They even knew I was in there. One by on they swung open the door ran into their own barbed wire and got 2 tapped by my pistol. We had open mic's the whole time and the first guy was so mad at the barbed wire he was cheering me on as it just kept going. After about 2 mins I asked if there was anyone left and they said no. I had 17 kills and actually felt kinda bad for these blue dudes. So I made a deal with them and revived the defib guy on the condition he let me out the base. He opened the door and I walked out like a boss XD. Ofcourse there were 2 blues running at me right outside and I killed them too lul.
I tried to find red and red fob but had no luck. So I took a chopper back to the blue tower, landed and took out the guy standing there and he was like oh fuck ur back XD. I said I was here to spot and kill reds and I rezed him and had a good time until my green guys showed up and started terrorizing them from the buildings outside. I didn't want to team kill so I swapped to blue team and rejoined them at the tower. I took out the green guys, shot out a rocket chopper that was killing the logi heli and rallied them to push the HZ after our drill ran out. It was like 50-30-85 b-r-g. The push went well and cought us up but after running out of meds and a cracked out am50 taking like 4 of us out I decided to go back and buy the team 3 havocs. All 3 went in the hz area and fucked shit up and blue won.
Absolute highlight of my time with wardogs so far. Had a blast talking to all those blue guys I killed lol.
I play solo so when I have some cool people in comms friend or foe its a great time.
Sorry if I ever over terrorized you while you were trying to build....
Ps. Not trying to gloat at all. This is the only game I was this successful at any of these things and was actually the first time iv pushed the HZ and really wanted to tell someone cuz all my friends bailed on the game week 1. It was just a great time all around.
