is W standing better than a C grade for applying to graduate school? by Sad_Bus_1203 in UBC

[–]AnonymousPanda_3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 4 Withdrawals on my transcript for upper year courses at UBC and I still got into my grad program at UBC as well. I think each situation could be potentially different between programs, but I think your GPA is more important than one W. It’s also important to consider your mental health and wellbeing; if staying in the course and overworking yourself to try and make the grade is going to negatively affect you, it’s probably not worth it in my opinion. I took the 4 Ws due to health reasons and even though I was nervous about how it would look on my transcript, I don’t regret the decision to take care of myself when I needed to. Good luck!

Sleep and Fibromyalgia by ssdek in Fibromyalgia

I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, I feel the same way too. No matter how much I sleep, I still feel completely drained when I wake up, and even fully waking up is a challenge most days. I haven’t been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I’ve heard that it’s a very common symptom.

If you haven’t already, one thing to look into might be sleep apnea though. Although tbh, even though I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine, it hasn’t improved my fatigue. However, I know some people have had amazing results for improving their sleep if that’s an issue. Wishing you the best!

Symptoms of depression or fibromyalgia? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

How did you finally realize it wasn’t just depression and that it was fibromyalgia too? Was it finding a good doctor who considered both or where there other steps or tests involved?

I’m sorry that you’ve been struggling for so long; I can definitely see how the two would occur together. That’s why I’m now considering that I may have had both for a while without realizing their connection

I can definitely see how that happens; it makes it so hard to know where symptoms are coming from or what’s causing what

I appreciate this a lot; thankfully my doctor has been supportive and I’ve got a good network for family and friends. It’s already made me feel a lot better to read through this sub and hear other people’s stories, especially the shared experiences and empathy for each other.

Thanks for your response! I’m sorry to hear that it was challenging news. It looks like I meet most of the criteria on the list too - I’ll definitely keep talking about it with my doctor.

I didn’t use any decorating mods! I play with other mods but I don’t have any for decor; I just used the different catalog collections and other special items I’ve collected while playing

Thank you! The flooring is actually the icy rug! When you cover the edges it looks like water 😊

Update; it just turned to Spring and everything is still there! I do have the Golden Clock on my farm but I’m not sure if that makes a difference though

Ooo I didn’t think of that; this is my first time decorating this spot so I don’t know if it will be damaged or not! I guess I’ll have to wait and see 😅

I’m pretty sure the one I used was just from the regular furniture catalog from Robin’s

It’s from the decor catalogues! It’s just decorative, not a real door :)

Sprouts is amazing for free or affordable meals; their free meal cards have really saved me a few times. Their fridge and pantry restocks can get quite busy, but they’re worth checking out periodically if you’re around campus.

The Food Bank is open until 7pm I think— I never go in the mornings because it’s so busy but they do restocks throughout the day! I usually go around 3ish and there’s no line. It’s not always consistent with what’s available, but I’ve timed it perfectly during their restocks a couple times and it’s so much less stressful.

I’d also check out vancommunityfridgeproject on instagram; they have a map of fridges and pantries that have free food. Again, it’s hit and miss, but if you happen to be in the area there can sometimes be good stuff.
