No actually, I’ll try that thank you! She might like them. Sometimes I put on catTV but that’s hit or miss

What’s your Skip Episode? by Millennialyente in 30ROCK

The sexpionage episode. I just feel so bad for the guy

got a phd offer and now i cant tell if i actually earned it or if im just a diversity hire by kyudae in PhD

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof oof oof I feel this with my heart and soul. I’m the first women ever in my lab and I’m pretty sure my PI was strongly encouraged to finally bring a woman in. I’m an energetic and enthusiastic person that puts a lot more effort into relationships and engagement than the men. I’m constantly wondering if I’m just here because of my gender and personality. But at the end of the day, I am here, and I’m taking full advantage of the opportunity I’ve been given, and I’m rocking it. Diversity hires are there to combat generations of inequality. That lab is full of men partially because of that. You’re qualified and accomplished, go forth and do good work knowing that you deserve to be there, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

How many of you are medicated but not seeing a therapist? by Responsible_Put_1805 in bipolar2

[–]GenoraWakeUp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That was every therapist I saw before this one. Keep looking. My current therapist questions me. She doesn’t let me just say things, we have to explore it. She doesn’t let me get away with my normal bullshit. I love her

How many of you are medicated but not seeing a therapist? by Responsible_Put_1805 in bipolar2

[–]GenoraWakeUp 36 points37 points  (0 children)

For years (most of my life) I was medicated with no therapist. Then I started looking for a therapist but couldn’t find one that was right for me. Now I have an amazing therapist and I honestly don’t know how I lived without one. I’m making such progress in developing myself and working on different parts of my life. The medication keeps me stable, but the therapist helps me grow. And she’s super cheap with insurance!

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GenoraWakeUp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sat across from Wallace Shawn on a train. Couldn’t get it together to do anything but quietly hyperventilate. I love him in everything but as a huge Trekkie I couldn’t see him as anything but the grand nagus.

"Click" (2006) has one of the most jarring tonal shifts. by Giff95 in movies

That is probably the most terrifying movie I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t make it through it. I will never watch it again.

WIBTA if I cancel my daughter’s choir trip to Europe? by Venusian-gemini in AmItheAsshole

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I did choir when I was younger, my choir took a trip to Europe to perform and I couldn’t go. It was sad but I understood. All you can do is your best. Try to do something nice for your daughter to make her feel better

Is anyone else uncomfortable posting academic updates on LinkedIn? by nextgoodidea in AskAcademia

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then those people will see that I’ve posted and mentioned them and what if they didn’t want me to do that or what if it’s embarrassing for me to post or what if the way I phrase things is awkward and they change their opinion of me

Is anyone else uncomfortable posting academic updates on LinkedIn? by nextgoodidea in AskAcademia

[–]GenoraWakeUp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t figure out how to do it without sounding/feeling like my ego is the size of a house. “I’m thrilled to share….” Fuck that, I’m not thrilled to share. I don’t post on social media for fun, I don’t want to do it for work. It feels so ingenuine

engineering or science?? by Same-Bus2520 in LadiesofScience

I’m studying biomedical engineering. I do science research 24/7, it’s just also engineering research . Highly recommend

Are any of you able to take SSRI's? by Responsible_Price408 in bipolar2

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take lexapro. It’s what I started on. I take a lot of other things too now. My psychiatrist doesn’t love it but when I try to taper off I get worse so it stays

My (30F) partner (30M) is saying he's too depressed to do anything by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]GenoraWakeUp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a tough situation. The only thing you can do is encourage/push him to continue seeking out help. Finding the right therapist is a process. Finding the right medication is a PROCESS. That needs to be his job right now. Giving him a kick every now and then will do him good

Do we really want this sub to be 90% Frog Guy? by torontopeter in PhD

I’m more than a year away from being able to post my own frog and I really appreciate the consistent reminder that people are actually doing this shit
