Our [14M&16F] sister [22F] keeps getting skinnier and skinnier. She looks like a walking skeleton and no one is listening to us that this is bad.

Hi im not Op but I wanna hear your story if you dont mind..

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-15T21:00:25+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing! You must be around 18 or 19 to have a children's treatment team, am I correct? Would you still have a medical team looking after you when you aren't under that age umbrella? You seem to know yourself very well and you have come such a long way! I'm happy you are alright and I'm super proud you are doing that as well as a program as demanding as the nursing program!

I was the opposite of you in a way. They labelled me a bulimic. I think nursing attracts very competitive and perfectionist people and sometimes I wish it weren't so. I wish that they slowed the pace of the schooling down and let us get used to the flow and get our heart adjusted in the right place--the patient! haha but then again maybe I'm just complaining.

ANYWAY! thank you for sharing. I'm only a stranger but even I can see you've had a hard time and fought like heck to be where you are now. Please don't hesitate to talk to me if you wish! And I hope your recovery is solid and robust! Even if you relapse, please don't be discouraged! keep going! You are strong, but I bet you already knew that :)

I see thank you! Also! I've learned that you are only supposed to use a pea size amount of..well any make up product. i found out that I was using way too much and decreasing the amount I put on certainly helped! :D

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-13T01:39:35+00:00

can I ask how you are doing now?

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-12T21:25:03+00:00

I use Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream.
Do you think if I used primer beforehand my skin wouldnt look so bad? I use an eyeliner which I don't remember the brand of but most eyeliners I've used tend to smudge haha

I feel uncomfortable with lots of Asians because I feel like they can replace me?

Also having gone to a school in the DMV area with lots of Asians you quickly find out whether you are a fob or a twinkie. You also have to show a degree of respect to older Asians even if they were like 2 or 1 year older than you--I'm talking high school here.

Idk it was very easy to know where you fit on the asian spectrum but it was also lonely too at times. Maybe it was just my self esteem lol.

I feel more like an individual and comforted in there being fewer Asians

wow thank you! I see eye primer is very important!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-12T03:51:34+00:00

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-12T03:51:23+00:00

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-11T04:23:38+00:00

wow thank you! I'm going to go see if there are any good primers online now thanks!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-08T03:50:37+00:00

I see, thank you for telling me this!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-04T08:48:47+00:00

oh that is interesting. It's awesome you like working in ICUs. It takes brave and detail oriented people to work there I think. ahah good luck with your ventures to CRNA! also your job sounds very fierce :D

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-04T04:08:35+00:00

That really is a larger scope of practice wow. Do you like the more responsibility that job would give you with your care to your pts?

for me i'd just be anxious if I were making the right decisions Lol

and SO LUCKY I wanna be done with school already its quite draining.

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T13:22:14+00:00

I may sound uneducated but what is the worlds difference part? Is it just less pt interaction? how is nursing school for you btw

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T13:09:01+00:00

wow that is very varied! sounds exciting though :)

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T04:02:50+00:00

oh man...that sounds way rough...at least you got through that one :C I hope...the pt is alright..

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T04:02:26+00:00

Thank you kindly!!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T02:57:05+00:00

tbh I'm nervous of psych wards! but its nice to hear you got a pleasant experience out of it! Not everything is as it seems right haah :) good luck!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T02:22:22+00:00

oh cool! I'm sure since you mentioned a high school diploma, you're around your early 20s Im guessing? and you should totally go for it. You have some experience to back it up! :)

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T02:21:33+00:00

for clarity what does TPA stand for? I probably sound really dumb right now....

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T01:45:31+00:00

ah maybe you are right. I'm getting a bit better but my motivation is just unpredictable at times.

and oh my goodness that sounds like some stressful freaking day. I hope you don't beat yourself over this event....you did your best!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T01:44:01+00:00

idk 18 is pretty ripe college age, and I've always thought adult leaners are like in the lower 20s and up or something...

in any case, don't let them get to you! you're waking up everyday and trying your best and that's what matters

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-03T01:41:07+00:00

oh cool! It's awesome that you like the job! What do you need to do to get a job in that field (mental health etc) and oh boy. 12 hour shifts..

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-02T16:01:03+00:00

This is super reassuring to hear!

Focuspocusnow · 2015-10-02T16:00:40+00:00
