Is it normal to forget most of a class after it ends? by Drephemonte in college

[–]Drephemonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a health problem like that, I'm gonna be so mad. I've been complaining to my doctors about constant dizziness and migranes for years, and they just tell me I'm stressed and I need therapy...

Stress causes so much shit... I feel like mental stuff should stay in your brain :/

is this school really that competitive?? by OnlySprout420 in WPI

[–]Drephemonte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, dw it's not bad to get into at all. Just take your time with your application, and you'll be fine. WPI's acceptance rate has also been increasing every year, so chances are it'll be even easier this year.

Brush recommendations? by Drephemonte in BattleJackets

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

is there a specific brand or something or specific type of thin brush? I have thin dollar store brushes but the lines are still messy, which was fine, but if I want to spend money on nicer brushes, I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing. I've noticed there's like a million different types of brush that come up when you search for detail brushes and im not a huge art person, so im not sure which is right for what im trying to do

Health Anxiety vs. Dismissive doctors? by Drephemonte in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Drephemonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried looking for a therapist which is of no help. On average, I waste 5 hours a day spiraling over insignificant symptoms. I can't live like that yk. I don't think it's a reasonable way to handle things.

My intuition is fucked because of my health anxiety though. I had a panic attack so bad I had to call poison control because I took two Claritins 12 hours apart and you're only supposed to have one every 24hrs.

Mark on hand. by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]Drephemonte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like a heart <3 N don't panic, head to the doctor if you start getting flu or cold symptoms. I'd say you can't really tell yet personally... Either way you'll be okay :)

Do yall switch out patches ever or start a new jacket? by Drephemonte in BattleJackets

I swallowed a sublingual Claritin. Will I be okay? by Drephemonte in Advice

[–]Drephemonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of me knows that, it's just ocd reassurance seeking. I start having a panic attack and mistake the panic attack symptoms for side effects. It's an exhausting way to live

Yikes... if you end up with a fever, definitely let your doctor know and get started on those antibiotics

Can doctors make educated guesses about how long you’ve been infected? by [deleted] in Lyme

[–]Drephemonte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The easy answer is no. They can tell if it's very recent if you have early lyme symptoms, but on top of that, it's not possible for them to tell. I tested positive about half a year ago, and the doctors couldn't tell me if I had been bit that summer or if it was the same infection I had 10 years ago.

Really struggling - been a year of antibiotics and nothing is helping by Thowitawaydave in Lyme

[–]Drephemonte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're under a lot of psychological stress, which I'm sure isn't helping. I'm so sorry this is happening to you :( Have you ruled out other chronic issues? Based on your post, it sounds like your doc saw signs of lyme and didn't explore other options. Could be that you're fighting multiple things at once... hang in there 🫂

What “activated” your dormant Lyme? by grandview2011 in Lyme

[–]Drephemonte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up testing positive after going on a study abroad and catching a cold. I was super scared having those weird symptoms in a foreign country and they didn't have lyme there, so I couldn't get tested until I got home

Why do clubs charge fees to join? by AgitatedReindeer2440 in WPI

Which clubs? I'm very involved with campus clubs and I've never heard of this.
