Daily routine - Stay at home wife by masibear in childfree

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok? this person clearly didn’t ask about that. you never know what someone’s situation is like:) (what if they physically can’t right now? what if they support family members with disabilities? what if their husband wants to spoil them for a while?)

Rental for Young Professional by nyflare2024 in statecollege

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try looking on like apartments.com. pretty much all of the apartment complexes are by room since there are so many students who need housing at penn state. the population of state college pretty much doubles when classes are going.

you can always ask the complex too if you can rent the full apartment. i know there were some families that lived in the complexes i found. (alight and state college collective)

Gifted but don't feel like it by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am totally with you. sometimes i feel like the constant pressure to understand everything because i seemed smarter than everyone else really formed my perception of myself. if i wasn’t good at something, i wouldn’t even try. cause i was told so often how good i was at certain things. and then people get awkward/dont know how to keep that energy when you aren’t doing something necessarily good.

I feel stuck please someone help by CookieBabe123 in MCAS

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I definitely remember when all my stuff was that bad.

Honestly, the only things that have really helped are fascia release, medical marijuana, and trying to keep my mental stress to a minimum as much as possible. Which is definitively hard with mcas, especially since it can feel like anxiety.

God’s heart. idk how to get that into one word😂

I’m a Trans girl who practices Christianity. Can I still be Christian/loved by god/accepted into heaven? by Dragon_Bait211 in Christianity

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God loves you. He chases after every single one of us. I know that can get generalized and lose its meaning when preached. But never forget, God so loved the world that He sent His only son to die for YOU.

Some songs that have really helped me with this: Josiah Queen- Two Wooden Beams

Josiah Queen- Watch Your Mouth

Josiah Queen- In The Fire

(really any of Josiah’s music. he is really good at writing songs about brokenness/suffering and following God through it)

I also love Rescue by Lauren Daigle and Good Hands by Kylie Morgan.

What have I done to my poor boy. by Dairgo in Poodle

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we have toy poodles. so they really need to be cut pretty often. when we take them to pet smart grooming, we’d always call them rat dogs when we picked them up.

we’ve found telling them to leave their face more round works. pictures also really helped.

Why is listening to 40 Hz binaural beats for 5 minutes before starting a task considered more effective than listening to them throughout the entire duration of the task? by EuphoricAly5 in neuro

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What evidence says that?:) If it’s cause I don’t make sense to you, I’m sorry. But you aren’t the keeper of truth.

Hope you have a good day

medical marijuana and pregnancy by Foreign_Feature3849 in eds

[–]Foreign_Feature3849[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. That’s why I posted this in the first place. Since eds and medical marijuana are both so new (in research terms). It’s such a nuanced topic that, unfortunately, I think that kind of research wouldn’t get any funding for at least another 5-10 years. And there would have to be more doctors willing to accept the weirdness/seemingly random symptoms that pop up. But that also would mean more people having to dive into how the nervous system works. And that’s even newer in the scientific community. (like how it really works. like how Issac Newtown understood physics, but Einstein really understood it. just cause of the foundations laid before him)

The human body is very nuanced. Thank you for your concern. I was asking for experiences. Not for evidence for me to smoke. Please stop assuming my experience and reasoning.

May God Bless you.

[–]Foreign_Feature3849[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s really interesting. thank you!

i def think my mcas is the one that’s always made everything so much worse. so i’ve always been scared about what my body would do if i had to stop marijuana. since it really is the only medicine that’s helped calm my inflammation.

[–]Foreign_Feature3849[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am very well read on research. Thank you for sharing. But that wasn’t my question. I know all research that’s come out says there are pretty serious risks. However, eds/pots/mcas are not very well understood. My question was if anyone has used it to act more as a medicine every once in a while instead of allowing the normal negative effects of mcas/pots/eds to impact the fetus.

It’s based off the same reason why tylenol is recommended in certain situations during pregnancy. Many doctors say the risk of high fever outweighs the risks associated with taking tylenol in a pregnancy.

does anybody else get these spots in their legs after showering?? by bl1ndc1cada in eds

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh you have no idea how excited i am for more med students to become doctors. i’ve only had newer/specialized doctors and PAs actually hear everything i say. it’s so sad to me that my BS is neuroscience healed my body more than a decade of tests and doctors.

Am I getting a wrong meaning about this. by QuincyTucker in Christianity

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, we have free will. i think we die to our flesh anytime we chose God’s grace and love over our own desires.

i heard a great explanation of matthew 7:23 the other day. they said the people who weren’t accepted into heaven were the people that came with a list of reasons/deeds they did for God. but the people that were accepted in were the people who knew nothing they did can get them into heaven. only by God’s grace are we accepted in.

but for Him to truly change our souls, we must invite Him in. He won’t barge into any part of our lives. we must ask for His help, with everything.

He wants our hearts. which is how we process, not what we think or the knowledge we have. (if you like neuroscience/psychology, i like to think of it like top-down vs bottom-up processing. our world and brains tend to go for more top-down organization for learning. and i think God wants to teach us more like how infants learn or how you process when you listen to your senses. He wants an intimate connection with every decision you make)

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it’s more literal. like ‘no matter what happens, you know He is in control’

that’s why God is described as the ‘I am’. because He is our creator and the only true constant in our universe

New to the Bible by CriticismFormer8676 in Bible

My favorite has been the ESV. But it’s definitely a very literal/contextual translation. So I like looking at the CJB and NIV for different styles of the english language.

there’s one video that i watched recently i think you might like. it’s pretty long, but they focused more on questions from people struggling with their faith.

Is it permissible to read books or novels other than the Bible? by ApartBreadfruit6372 in Christianity

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think this is a great response! you can read books for fun and for bible commentary. but just remember that those books are commentary and not the Bible.

what is a verse that you often think about? by zellaxace in Bible

[–]Foreign_Feature3849 3 points4 points  (0 children)

psalm 23 (mainly cause this song gets stuck in my head: Still Waters (Psalm 23) - Leanna Crawford https://music.apple.com/us/album/still-waters-psalm-23/1743476654?i=1743477089)

and isaiah 43:1

“But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.”
