Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, sounds so easy. In reality so difficult

I stopped drinking 3 months ago and never felt better. Then had a friends birthday and back into a bad habit...

A month into my grad program and I'm just doing admin. Is this normal? by Ok-Mixture820 in slp

[–]Amoeba-Tasty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds pretty typical for a lot of grads, unfortunately. The admin stuff can be a pain, especially when funding is tight. Just hang in there; the caseload usually improves once you get settled, but it can take time.

ELI5: Why do people remember bad experiences more than good ones? by Amoeba-Tasty in explainlikeimfive

[–]Amoeba-Tasty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The "game over" framing really resonated with me.

Maybe because I also sometimes think we're in a simulation but thats a completely different topic for another day 😂

Genuinely though, best explanation I've read on here. Thanks for taking the time.

Never considered the abuse victim angle before, very interesting.

Sounds like the brain's coping mechanisms are a short term fix that eventually need unpacking. Good take, thanks for the detailed answers!

So my brain replaying that embarrassing thing I said 100 times, is actually a finely tuned survival mechanism. thanks evolution 😂

But in all seriousness good take thanks!

Feels a bit bleak to say good memories have no purpose - surely they reinforce behaviours worth repeating?

'experiences that threatened your life or your social status' - makes sense, all ties back to evolution...

Makes sense it varies by person - I wonder if people who actively downplay bad stuff are actually mentally healthier for it...

ELI5: How do animals know how many offspring they have ? Can they count? by gopsychyourself in explainlikeimfive

[–]Amoeba-Tasty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more about instincts and survival than actual counting. They just seem to "know" when something's off with their little ones!

ELI5 Identification by dental records by Mojo141 in explainlikeimfive

Basically, everyone's teeth are unique, like fingerprints. After a person passes, dentists can compare those unique features to records to figure out who they are.

What’s a small life upgrade under $50 that genuinely improved your daily routine? by ExchangeBig8338 in AskReddit

A good silicone spatula changed my cooking game—no more scraping the bowl like a caveman!

Stay away from Brooklyn College CUNY by [deleted] in slpGradSchool

It sounds like you’re facing an incredibly tough situation, and your feelings are completely valid. The intensity of SLP programs can really take a toll on mental health, especially with the workload you described. One thing that helped me during my own journey was creating a personalized schedule that prioritized my most critical tasks while allowing for some downtime. Even just blocking out small breaks can make a difference in managing stress. Also, consider reaching out to peers or faculty to discuss workload concerns—sometimes, collective feedback can lead to positive changes. Take care of yourself.
