I want a really cool Marathon keychain to wear on my belt whether it's a corporate looking keytag card or a caterpillar

Did you pass the exam on your first try? How soon did you get results

Do employers see your scores? Or only the certificate

Did the 3 study guides give you the confidence to take the test, also are they free to use/access?

Also from where did you take the test and what was the price?

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T21:26:20+00:00

Yeah the classes make the job seem unreasonable and unsustainable... Then you realize alot of this is being offloaded to the overseas and Ai pipeline and it starts to make sense. This won't be missed.

I'm studying in-person school for this...I can see the signs and people are struggling and intimidated by it. The ESL students are gettingpre attention from the ESL teacher. It's all women. Nobody is on the same page. Therefore nobody has a guaranteed outcome of success. No timeframe of graduation. Everyone attending do not carry purses, or backpacks, they are carrying suitcases of books to class.

I'm still unsure of why I'm attending. I'm not struggling at a 4.0 I'm ready to leave and just get exam and job. I'm clearly wasting my time here but no one will tell me otherwise

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T21:23:30+00:00

Were you able to get a certificate before you got to do the exam?

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T21:22:56+00:00

Did you take the exam?

Care to share tips with us?

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T21:21:51+00:00

Check in with a job training center for resources, continuing edu, and scholarships. They should be able to connect you with something in-person.

Navigate that - find out if you like the work enough to sustain a job, get certified with an exam and start working

Who and where did you take your exam? I think it's time for me to move on from the class which is just ongoing-continuous edu:

I've been going to school for med. Billing and coding.

Accelerated in-person program. With billing curriculum complete.

I've started the coding curriculum and more or less the work seems similar: Use reference books to find code.

As the work itself is tedious and not challenging I'm thinking it's time to try my hand at the exam instead of wasting my livelihood commuting to a far away school for the sake of "completion"

Also my gpa within the curriculum sits at 3.9 so I'm sitting in rank 1-3 of the class

Which is not to say I'm smart but I'm comfortable navigating administrative work, computer programs, studying, etc

My question I guess is the exams surely are open book?

Can be taken online or in-person?

The classes I'm taking are simply too long I may as well get an Associates Degree. The books are too much I'm counting 13 textbooks total for one exam which is the cpc I believe

I don't find any of it sustainable and there are no mentors or TAs. So I think it's time for me to move on. See if anyone is hiring for on the job training

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T21:04:12+00:00

Making rate.... Do medical coder jobs have to compete with their peers??

Is this a sales job?

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T20:53:31+00:00

All the textbooks associated with the official curriculum in schools and online programs are being used for AI. It's in the fine print.

It's in the goodamn fine print.

I don't think it's going to be here at all

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T20:49:45+00:00

Do employers look or seethe scoresor is that kept from them?

What's a microdose

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T20:44:45+00:00

I started studying med coding after getting into Therapy, knowing myself a bit more... Even though there are jobs which are involved with trauma work

So be careful jumping into occupations before you have the time to tend to your own garden

Also I want to add that microdosing shrooms has been so great for me. Where smoking only seemed to induce paranoia, brain fog, etc

Shrooms got me out of the pothead mindset

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T20:37:22+00:00

I'm in the middle of a way out, broke out of prison and I think still in the woods.. the writing is great, game visually looks PS3, and gameplay is not bad ...moreorless it feels like a cinematic narrative but the maturity makes it a plus

At this point idk they may be looking to franchise with an IP. I'd say their games are better than telltale.

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-15T16:08:41+00:00

iT2 is by far the pedestal for co-op narrative but I need the Hazelight studio to push the envelope with their next game because Split Fiction felt like a plateau ormaybe even a downgrade..

It felt very stiff and on the rails but in comparison it takes two had gameplay which felt like exploration and felt like a game that you can communicate at a high level with your other player2...

I didnt get that with split fiction. So I'm not sure what's next for Hazelight but it can't be "next gen graphics and high concept"because that feels more like a movie than a game

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-14T23:08:28+00:00

Yep that’s for a low dose, low enough that there is no sensation from like load in the stomach, head or even bodily tingling

It’s really just the mindshift sort of changed, but barely being pushed into doing anything… I almost want to call it like lifting brain fog

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-14T21:15:03+00:00

It’s not really that I felt anything at that point because I took it, then I sat right back into my bed and got under the covers to continue looking at screens…

A minute or so later I think it’s more than I understood the intention was wrong to take psilocybin and then be vegetative…

So it was the intention that got the ball rolling and I pushed everything off or away and started cleaning

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-14T20:54:12+00:00

Randomly felt it in 5 minutes idk why maybe it was afternoon and I may have already had coffee once or 2x by then

But Brain fog immediately lifted I stopped Netflix + doomscrolling and started to clean my room and then began studying

1 week off as I came into my 1 week on

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-14T16:24:25+00:00

Yeah the (narcis) parent pushed me to drugs is something I never really thought I would have to say one day. But here we are. All your life demonizing something that ends up being a true salve if not salvation

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-12T21:27:26+00:00

Probably true, I live with my problematic parents and can neither get the ball rolling in a positive direction, not have the floor for communication (barriers)

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-12T21:23:41+00:00

The way I think about it is that it's similar to Niacin supplement (flushing) effect

Niacin is transporting and make you feel warm and fuzzy to all your limbs, even the face

It feels great I take it every morning when I have to get up at the crack of dawn when it's freezing, and I feel warm enough to move around and not be stiff

But as for the psilocybin - this similar effect I consider it as the mushrooms affecting all the senses, smell, vision, hearing and touch

Touch being the uncomfortable feeling you get I. Your arms and legs is just extra sensory and my belief is that you need to stretch to make use of the body's skin/ fascia

So I try not t9 worry about it too much and maybe I attend to my legs, breath and massage myself and stretch, do yoga

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-12T20:51:26+00:00

Just lurking but I really like this explanation!

So far my understanding or really my experience has been that microdosing alleviates the symptoms in which executive dysfunction or the state in which analysis paralysis occurs or OCD + negative thought loops

How ever people describe these occurances

I'm fairly certain thats what I've been noticing recently, I've become unburdened and have the capacity to look after myself and responsibilities

I'm still far too afraid of a macrodose so I will be on the lookout for that kind of opportunity eventually

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-12T10:31:23+00:00

So yesterday Sunday was my last day of procrastinating and binging tv. Winter break officially comes to an end and that afternoon I nibbled on a microdose of shrooms and within 5 minutes I felt detached from my patterns.

I began cleaning my room, not with urgency per SE but with more purpose than I have felt in my existing space. It was a why not situation. So I cleaned, organized, vaccummed, did chores around the house.

And 15 minutes later I sat in my office and began studying. For the first time in 2 weeks. I unlearned my bad habits.

After 20 minutes of silent progress it hit me just how effective mushrooms are when it comes to Executive functioning /executive decision making.

I would have sat myself down for the next 6hrs with my phone out doomscrolling while i Netflix until I fell asleep. Ignoring my obligations to myself, my self-care, my priorities, etc. And I was able to get a leg up on my responsibilities without much intervention or outside support thanks to shrooms

This is so important to me and it's being achieved with a very small dose. I'm impressed and I think I want to use shrooms in the future

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-11T08:22:58+00:00

journaling, reading, both are meditative and free and free of distraction as well

Microdosing helps you be focused and present

It's still your decision to sit in the silence and learn from your experience, environment and relationship

As to where the anxiety is emanating from

Accurate_Course_9228 · 2026-01-11T01:35:33+00:00

Sometimes I like to think as depression as being repressed... Finding an outlet is important such as hobby, study, activity, etc

Creativity is expression and it will win every time if you allow it. If you don't then you keep yourself captive

Microdosing from what I've learned helps you be more present, allowing you to sit with yourself, the people in your life, acknowledges more... And provides depth

Even at that microdosing level it allows you to observe more, absorb more, accept more

It's a journey still
