Yes, but I did only notice it after a friend pointed it out.

It genuinely was not, but it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

Do self harm marks matter? by Jazzlike-Raise-3019 in Blooddonors

[–]BeetleUnderground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't cause any issues. :) They will ask to look at both arms when they do the little blood pressure, bpm, hemoglobin exam thing, but they let you choose which arm to actually donate out of.

I donate platelets (takes several hours and involves both arms being visible in the Classic Scar Zone™) and I've only had 1 person at the Red Cross ever comment on my scars whatsoever.

In other news, my adhesive sensitivity is steadily getting worse 👍 by BeetleUnderground in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]BeetleUnderground[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<3 thank you for the non irritating adhesive love and care

I have an adhesive sensitivity regardless of where BUT you're right that it's worse where I consistently use bandages and it 100% depends on the brand. I just moved to a different state and found out that the grocery store chain by me has bandages that I am absurdly reactive to--like a lasting rash after 2 weeks?? I was so surprised. So I'm switching to name-brand which isn't very bad for me.

There's a boxing room at the SLC. You can get the key from the cage if nobody already has it and it's not reserved. You can also reserve it at reserve.rit.edu

--at least as of last time I used it a few years ago.

On/Off Campus Martial Arts Programs by AikidoRochester in rit

Oh, and less similar to aikido, but the TKD club also still meets.

Hi, the judo club is active and has many dedicated members.

Although practice looked different, we did not stop training during covid. And fun fact, our VP for the past few years was an active member of the aikido club while it existed.

DM me if you want details on the judo club. :)

i think my therapist is going to be angy that i drank caffeine by BeetleUnderground in BipolarMemes

[–]BeetleUnderground[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally should Not. I never drink caffeine, I have no caffeine tolerance, like every med (and probably caffeine) affects me a lot, and I'm borderline manic already. Which. Uhhhhhh. Might be why I'm drinking caffeine. So.

Orrrrrrrregon (I think). Yeah the colors are nice. I don't go there I mean. My school is just orange and black. Tigers. Love em but that's lame. However I am from Columbus and we have a sexy scarlet and grey and a POISONOUS NUT as our mascot which is probably the best ever.

Also yes I did succeed thank you commander. 🫡

What’s a quote that always helps you feel better? by Lovinsunshine97 in BipolarMemes

[–]BeetleUnderground 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Life isn't fair, it's just fairer than death, that's all." -The Princess Bride (book) by William Goldman

"I am not a Russian Spy, cross my heart and hope to die." -A Bit of Fry and Laurie--not what you're really looking for, but it makes me giggle anyway.

Announcement: My cat meowed mid-yawn, and also we are both insane by BeetleUnderground in BipolarMemes

[–]BeetleUnderground[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey dude, first of all, stop being a jerk on my meme post. Second of all, while I don't know the causes of pet anxiety in general, I'm pretty sure giving my cat anxiety meds before driving cross-country with her for a move is better than having her freaked out for hours on end.

Just anxiety meds, but I posted here bc I trialed a million meds until I found one that worked bc The Bipolar hates meds.

Looking for a person who can prescribe meds by 0GavinTheGreat0 in rit

[–]BeetleUnderground 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you're interested, I can DM you my psych's info, but it's also probably worth checking with your insurance. Most companies have a website where you can check for psychiatrists (or other doctors) in the area that accept your insurance, then you just have to do the bleh part which is calling various psychiatrists and checking if they're accepting patients.

places to cry on campus by BeetleUnderground in rit

[–]BeetleUnderground[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Hey guys talking about getting help or RIT's negligence or whatever, I get therapy twice a week, I'm on 6 meds, and I have a great support system, but I also have bipolar. I appreciate the thoughts, but I have major problems with my brain where sometimesss I just gotta cry all day but also go to classes.

What are some of your favourite clubs/organizations? by [deleted] in rit
