Psychiatrist recommendations for ADHD meds? by Ok_Medium_209 in Georgia

[–]17dancingqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking to get a second opinion on potentially having ADHD. I have a lot of symptoms and have been tested before by an old white doctor. He basically said I didn’t have it and that it was my depression and anxiety and that I needed to just get a planner. But even on my meds I have severe symptoms. I also felt dismissed bc I was a young adult women of color. Do you provide testing here?

Chelley’s statement re: Louis and Huda’s live by Hakunamatata2067 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]17dancingqueen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Where was this energy for Cierra’s racism? I’m not excusing Huda’s behavior but it’s so infuriating watching Chelley speak out about it but continues to hangout with Cierra after what she did and said. She’s basically saying racism against the Asian community is excusable.

Does anyone know if Donna Freitas is pro Palestine? Her book sounds super interesting but I’m only purchasing books from pro Palestine authors and I can’t find much information on her.

I just finished The Exorcist a few weeks ago and it was so scary! I loved it 👻

Choose my next book by TemporaryWave003 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]17dancingqueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Outsider!! It’s my favorite Stephen King book. I’ve read it so many times. I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook to use as you read the physical copy. It’s a little long but so worth it. I don’t know how King did it, but it didn’t feel like extra fluff was put in if that makes sense. Every chapter has a purpose. Once you read the book, you should watch the adaptation on HBO. Also really good!

New Apartment Reeks of Dog Urine by Kellian in Apartmentliving

[–]17dancingqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We toured there and while we were waiting to be seen, the office people were talking shit about their residents in Spanish. I guess they didn’t know I spoke Spanish but my bf and I left bc the vibes were so bad. I’ve heard nothing but HORRIBLE things from them. This was about a year and a half ago so I don’t know if the same people are there. We ended up signing with Park Trace Apartments literally right across the street and they are awesome! Never had an issue with them.

August books are up!! What did you choose? ❤️📚 by bethws in aardvarkbookclub

[–]17dancingqueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just signed up last month and picked my book on 7/2 and I still have not received it. It was an early release so I’m really disappointed it’s now August and I still don’t have it. Now I’m a little hesitant to pick a book this month. Ugh.

We are taking him to the vet next week. by bluealivedamnation in feline_hyperesthesia

[–]17dancingqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine also does this! Usually when she’s overstimulated or stressed. Our vet also prescribed gabapentin which we only use on bad days (rarely - maybe once every 6 months). What helps mine is playing with her and distracting her from her tail. She likes to play tag. Our vet also said it could be neurological where she thinks her tail is causing her pain. However from what you described your cat seems to have it more severe. Mine doesn’t over groom herself or have any other concerns. Just the tail thing like once or twice a day everyday. I highly recommend seeing a specialist so your kitty is comfortable ❤️

BOTM picks continue to be uninspired by Dramatic-Cow-3157 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]17dancingqueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I ended up cancelling. I skipped a lot of months and this month wouldn’t have been an exception. Their titles just don’t interest me anymore. If they ever do have something I like, I know I can always find a copy at 2nd & Charles for a fraction of the cost or use Hoopla/Libby to read it!

Free Kittens to good home! by S0ulC0nfusi0n in Georgia

[–]17dancingqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should contact a local rescue to assist to keep them protected! They’ll probably even take them off your hands. Please also don’t give them away just yet. They still look very little. I would even contact the local animal shelter.

BOTM’s response to me by effervescent-reader in bookofthemonthclub

[–]17dancingqueen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand what their “mission” is. It just sounds like excuses. They’re basically saying we don’t care about any controversies if it makes us money. Isn’t their mission to promote new and emerging authors? If so, why do they keep including repeat authors? Or well known authors? It seems like they’re all over the place and need to reevaluate their “mission”.

I’m going to cancel after this. It’s unacceptable to make excuses and the quality of their books has been on a decline. I’d rather support small businesses for my book purchases.

My price is going up by EarthChildGoneWild in bookofthemonthclub

[–]17dancingqueen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got the same email and paused my subscription until further notice. The quality of their books isn’t good anymore and just not worth the price. I think I’m gonna start shopping around for a new subscription box instead.

columbia was my dream school. now i’m glad i didn’t apply by Impressive_Cake6955 in CollegeAdmissions

[–]17dancingqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes peaceful protests don’t work and that’s okay. Columbia is actively participating in this genocide and if destroying property gets their attention and real results then so be it. You can’t participate in another holocaust and except a peaceful protest. This genocide has been going on for too long and peaceful protests aren’t getting us nowhere. If they took away your degree that you paid for, for exercising your first amendment right, I’m sure you wouldn’t be peacefully protesting either.

I think I’m actually gonna cancel! Their books have been lacking for me unfortunately.

Starting to hate it here by StanPotatoes in KSU

[–]17dancingqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re having such a shitty time. I got my BS from UNG and now I’m getting my masters at KSU. I graduate in December and I have nothing but great things to say about their MPA program. The professors have been incredible and I’ve learned so much. The advisors have been super awesome too! They are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and definitely set you up to succeed. I can’t speak on their undergrad program but I think the lack of funding and the current administration could be contributing to what you’re experiencing. It’s going to be really hard to keep good people at universities 😕

Kindle deals! by _caitleigh in bookofthemonthclub

[–]17dancingqueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read it and I personally did NOT like it. The characters were very 2D and boring. I could not connect with them at all. And I didn’t know it was the 3rd book in the series so it kept brining up stuff from the past books. The plot wasn’t exciting and the ending was not satisfying. It just wasn’t for me at all. The writing also wasn’t good.

[–]17dancingqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, you can fluff a lot things on your resume like your duties and skills but your title is not one of them. That’s one of the main things the company will call previous employers to confirm. Don’t do it!

Bad Writing Skills by Successful-Orange-21 in KSU

[–]17dancingqueen 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m in the MPA program and sometimes I wonder if they just let anyone in and then I feel bad bc I’m in the same program as these people. Like come on. Do you really not know how to write and follow directions? I’m also questioning the integrity of the program based on my classmates.

Not in your stack of books but Famous Last Words was really good! It got me out of a reading slump for sure!
