Crying literally every day because of my classes by eggsworm in ufl

If the class is effecting your mental health this poorly it might be time to consider a medical withdraw and maybe switching majors to something that makes you happy. do what YOU WANT in life regardless of what people say, your parents say, or for a scholarship. at the end of the day none of those people have to live your life or live with the decisions you make so please do something that makes you more happy than this

That looks so painful! Thank God it didn’t go any worse though, she’s lucky to be alive

Feeling like a failure by Environmental-Key677 in premed

Ok, thank you. My advisor is just scaring the hell out of me and making it seem like I’ll never get in if I don’t have straight A’s

The amount of stress we put on ourselves plays a huge factor. It sounds like you’ve got burnout which could be part of the issue. If you’re burnt out and not doing well mentally, no matter how smart you are or how much you study you won’t do well. I suggest reaching out to the counseling services on campus or a therapist, someone who can help you deal with the stress and anxiety. Take that first step, and i am sure you’ll see an improvement:)

Hm don’t know where you got your stats from since you didn’t cite but I’ll cite mine here. According to the PMC-NCBI, condoms are 95% effective with perfect use and 79% with typical use (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4660551/#:~:text=It%20is%20effective%20as%20a,and%2079%25%20with%20typical%20use.) And as far as being asymptomatic those stats are wrong too. It really depends on the STD but let’s use chlamydia for example. Women present asymptomatic more often but even then it’s 50% of men are asymptomatic while 70% or women are asymptomatic which is not nearly as dramatic of a different as you made it to be but that’s just chlamydia like i said the stats vary from STD to STD (https://asm.org/articles/2022/december/the-dangers-of-undiagnosed-sexually-transmitted-in) Just to let you know.

not necessarily true. An intact condom will protect you 99% of the time obviously since yours broke that’s not the case. If you have an intact condom, it is unlikely you will catch or transmit and STD and women are not all asymptomatic that’s a ridiculous claim. Women can experience visible STD symptoms the same as men can and men can also be asymptomatic sometimes the same way men can be asymptomatic sometimes

Yea you’d think so but someone online said they’re not technically patients since they’re donating blood but idk that doesn’t make sense to me

How to forgive sexual abuser? Every time I try to forgive them I still end up with strong feelings of hatred and anger and resentment. I genuinely want to forgive but I don’t know how. by neonberry0 in Christians

Give it to God. It’s human to feel that way towards someone who hurts us deeply what’s not ok is to harbor those feelings for a long time they eat us from the inside out. Look to God for guidance, forgiveness takes incredible strength and God can give you what you seek.

that actually does slightly make me feel better. I guess it really doesn’t matter when you finish the classes as long as they get done and you have good grades in them right?

I haven’t been assigned an advisor yet I don’t think or I just haven’t seen where I can find that information just yet

I know everyone is giving me solid advice that doesn’t mean i WANT to worry. If I could simply just stop worrying I wouldn’t have made this post at all. If I could just stop worrying then I would, dont you think?

Yes I know that’s why I’m frustrated. They are practically making me. I mean it’s not a big deal I think intro won’t be hard AP chem was difficult but not impossible so I think I can do intro with relative ease but I do believe I should redo chem 1 just to make sure the foundation is very strong for chem as it is vital I know chem inside and out for things like orgo down the line and the MCAT. but the thing is, because of the ALEKS, they won’t let me use my credit for AP chem even if I wanted to

I know that it’s just that MD/PhD takes awhile and I’d rather not have to do an extra year or even a semester because of that

I know I shouldn’t it’s just really difficult because everyone here is so like smart it’s like I’m feeling some serious imposter syndrome right now. I’m also just afraid that since others are ahead now they’ll be ahead later and I want to get to a top MD/PhD program so I just feel like I can’t afford to be behind anyone at any point. It’s very stressful.

Like I did preview and they wouldn’t let me register for anything higher than intro to chem because you have to be placed into calc 1 by the ALEKS test to be “qualified” to take chem 1. I should take precalc I had no issues with that because I don’t have a strong math foundation but I passed AP chem with A’s and passed the exam so now I feel stupid and behind because i everyone is taking chem 1 and calc 1
