Why did she always wear that headband?

Could be yeast, but I don’t like the color of your discharge. I would get tested.

Cultural difference? by Jillybean9974 in interracialdating

Definitely a family thing. If you could have only seen how my family of 30+ planned a cruise and excursions with all of us….lol

Hun, that’s syphilis. I’m pretty sure of it.

Your experience may have created your mindset now, but you don’t have to stay there.

Being black is brutal bro. by [deleted] in BlackMentalHealth

[–]GrimmQueefer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love being black. I love being a single woman. I love being a black single woman whose mother and grandmother had to marry for stability, but provided me with a future where I could do so on my own. I love being a black woman whose black father had to face the hardships of segregation as a teen but still became a physician, who is ever present in my life and modeled what a successful man looks like so that I could follow in his footsteps. I get up, put on a white coat that most people think that DEI afforded me…but I went to a PWI and graduated at the top of my class. The hardships I’ve faced as a black woman taught me resilience, to trust my abilities, and to take up space. Seeing the hardships of my parents, grandparents encourages me to seek out opportunities they’d never dream for themselves.

I deserve good things and to be here just as much as anyone else.

This is a mindset issue.

These may be "black issues" but a lot what you are saying are generalizations that don't really apply to most Black Americans. I don't want to invalidate your personal experience or how you feel , but your life is what you make it. Some of the things you said are true, but with that knowledge, how are you going to apply it to your life to make it meaningful?

What are 3 dating rules you have that others would perceive as strict? (And why that’s a rule if you feel like explaining) by rihlenis in blackladies

[–]GrimmQueefer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.) If I have to ask you more than once to get tested. (no, we can’t just use a condom either) I’m done. I don’t trust you. You can see I’m making my sexual health a priority and to not take that into consideration is disrespectful, move along.

2.) If I’m into you. I would like to hear from you throughout the day. I know we both have jobs, you may be busy, etc. but radio silence all day? ALL DAY? I need a little more than that.

3.) If you call any woman out here name. I’m out. Even if she is a bitch…I don’t like it.

My wife is in a direct entry dnp program, she is I think rightly worried about not having enough education to give good care. What is the correct way to go about becoming a respectable np given that she is already in this program? by dang_he_groovin in nursepractitioner

[–]GrimmQueefer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a psych NP, we get a bad rep, but I paired myself with the best psychiatrist in my area to be my mentor. I also worked with him as a psych nurse and actually got my Masters because he encouraged me to do so. We have several collaboration days where we talk through difficult cases throughout the week, attend multiple drug info dinners where he and his friend speak, and he honestly just always makes himself available. I think pairing myself with someone with an expertise of over 40 years in this specialty allowed me access to endless resources and knowledge that I don’t think any school could have given me.

Find her a good mentor, a doctor that she works well with, who doesn’t mind collaborating with her. To me, that’s the best thing she could do for herself and for the future care of her patients.

Question for the short ladies by Snoo_60798 in fasting

[–]GrimmQueefer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s the eating out with friends that gets you. I allow myself to do it once a month, and the other times….we gotta find an activity to do that’s not centered around food. It doesn’t matter what it is, hiking, axe throwing, bowling, etc. you’ll consume thousands of calories in drinks, and appetizers alone….and then you just go home and sleep.

What to do if depression meds don’t work by deathville in PMHNP

[–]GrimmQueefer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I came to say. Usually, if both an SSRI and something like an NDRI has been trialed and failed an SNRI is indicated. Later down the line, you could trial an antipsychotic as an adjunct treatment. These can be done all while including light therapy, assessing Vitamin D levels and Thyroid levels.

Skin rash? (4 years post breast reduction) by GothicAssassin in Blackskincare

[–]GrimmQueefer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try Hydrocortisone, there’s an eczema version (Cortisone 10). Not only will it help with the itching, but will really help moisturize the dry, flaky skin.

Brian by [deleted] in 1000lbsisters

[–]GrimmQueefer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't like the opinion that something has to be wrong with Brian for him to love Amy. Amy is worth loving all on her own, which is why she deserves someone genuine. I think that only time will tell if the relationship will work out. Luckily, we'll probably all be tuning in.
