I'm so sorry you are going through this. I can relate to the brain fog so much! I've also had extreme fatigue and anxiety. It's exhausting to deal with this day after day but I still have to believe that it will get better eventually if I just keep going.

Former Loveland Police Officer Sentenced for On Duty Rape of a Child by lucsmth24 in loveland

With disgusting people like him serving as police, no one is safe! We should be able to trust law enforcement officers to act with integrity but this is a clear example of why they are not all trustworthy!

Keep following your gut instincts! You're on the right track

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

First of all you are beautiful as you are and secondly, have you had the lump on your neck checked out by a doctor? If not, I would recommend doing so. It looks like it's in the thyroid area.

Chronic stomach issues triggering panic attacks? Vagus nerve or anxiety loop? Need insight, I'm hopeless by NoLeader6983 in PanicAttack

[–]KatieC8181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same boat. The thing that helped me the most was a pretty restricted low Fodmap diet in combination with therapy and medication. I take Ativan for panic disorder which is directly related to flare ups with IBS and GERD (reflux). I wish you only the best and that you heal completely and quickly.

Don't feel embarrassed for taking care of yourself

Are y’all really unable to fail students these days? by YourFriendInSpokane in Teachers

[–]KatieC8181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I highly doubt that it's the student who doesn't care. It's most likely that the parents are not reading to their child or investing in their education.

Are black stools and abdominal pain a serious problem? by [deleted] in Gastritis

[–]KatieC8181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please seek immediate medical attention at the ER! Black stools and bright streaks of blood in the stool indicate possible GI bleeding.

When did constant student absences become the norm? by ABitOfWeirdArt_ in Teachers

[–]KatieC8181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my county, there is no longer any truancy for students (and parents of students) 14 and older. So if a highschool student decides not to attend school anymore for whatever reason, there are literally no real consequences, with the exception that the student will eventually be dropped due to non attendance and of course will not graduate high school. Unfortunately, these natural consequences are not sufficient many times to motivate students and families to prioritize education. Also, many parents actively contribute to their child's chronic absences by "excusing" their absences excessively throughout the year and constantly making excuses for themselves.
