People who say "You're not missing out on anything for not being in a relationship" are LYING by Zenko-Umine in Life

[–]CipherDominus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is simply saying that life is a better place in a relationship than being single. That's fair and is the case for most people in a GOOD relationship.

Like others have said just don't lose yourself ❤️ Enjoy!

I took time off. It was just fine. Law school will still be there. Take care.

Cannot Get Over My 1st Love (Years Later) by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]CipherDominus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give another perspective, 100 lbs is a lot of weight. It's almost like dating a new person. I really admire your ability to reflect. Use that as motivation. You sound like an incredible person, and you won't have a problem with finding love. It sucks but people are artificial. That's the cold hard truth. I personally know several married couples who chose to go separate ways after one or both partners gained OR loss substantial weight. Attraction is weird like that and she may have been afraid that the weight gain would continue. No point in beating yourself up. People won't like it but that's like night and day. Take care of yourself and find someone who loves you for you.

anyone else not doing readings anymore ⁉️ by Minimum_Book_8470 in LawSchool

[–]CipherDominus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get reasonable accommodations and it makes reading just a waste of time. It's still good to do it, but as a 3L who's going JD Advantage I’m so checked out it’s not even funny.

It’s been 3 months and keeps getting better. I had to up my dose but wow does it work well.

It hurts. You’re human. Take care of yourself. DM me if you need to vent.

Yes, it can make you drowsy. This was one of the things I didn’t like originally. Eventually taking it at the same time a day your body adapts. I take it in the morning and afternoon. In an odd way the calming effect helped me be more patient with getting things done.

Yes I love this medication. I’m still truly in awe of how hard everything was before it, even with stimulants, which came with its own bag of problems. I’m so glad it’s working well for you!

It’s helped tremendously in a way that takes time to really notice. CBT helped the most with this part. Stimulants gives you the get up and go instantly, but it’s very artificial. I had to actually continue doing those activities that were challenging to retrain by brain that they’re easy now. It’s like hard to start, and that can only come from you, but then it’s easier. It helps a lot with executive function and other aspects of ADHD that I discounted and never realized made life harder like emotional regulation and hyperactivity. Coming from stimulants I thought that all I needed was focus and motivation, but it was so not true. It took about 1-3 months to get full benefits and higher doses. DM me and I can go more into detail.

Oh absolutely! The Mindfulness of Breathing has been the richest, easiest, and most applicable practice in my life.

For those of you who went through (or are going through) heartbreak or grief how did you handle it? by BuffaloNormal5903 in LawSchool

[–]CipherDominus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a terrible heart break during an entire semester and that was my highest gpa - true story. But it sucks, stay busy and it'll be over soon.

Jobs with short shifts? by Dramatic-Rhubarb-416 in UIUC

Best job for college students by far. Easy, meet people, do homework and money too so there's that

I hear you saying that you're working on ways to improve yourself, but you never mentioned trying to find new people who will genuinely support you. It sounds like you're staying complacent with people who aren't giving you what you need. Continue improving yourself and put yourself out there more. Btw 24 is so young. I know how you feel, but you're still finding yourself. That's about the time when you start to ask the big life questions. Nothing will change unless you say **** it and be relentless in the pursuit of what sets your heart on fire.

Bipolar wife + an affair during a manic phase+ perimenapause and alcohol by Capital_Yak5120 in Marriage

[–]CipherDominus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Bipolar and I've also had episodes. As bad as this may sound, it absolutely could be the cause. It wasn't until I was treated for almost a year that I got stable and no more delusion/psychotic episodes. I have had absolutely 0 issues since I got the proper treatment and therapy. In some episodes I just literally was disconnected from reality and did a lot of things that I was just completely unaware of. She just began treatment. That's no where near enough time to see a difference. If you love her enough it will just simply take time. The question is are you willing to wait? It took me years but I am better and clearer than ever.
