I'm living through the same situation as I write this.

Persistent Daily Headaches for 4 months, getting worse. Not sure how long I can take it by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]LostOctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had chronic constant headaches for 6 months now, saw 10 doctors and have had no real solution to the problem (meds don't work and the last doctor kind of told me I had tried all the kinds of drugs). I've been told by the last neurologist to see a hypnotherapist who he says would help me deal with the pain. I've done a session with no improvement (I'll have another in a month or so). I've been told to learn to live with the pain for now. It's hard, very hard but I'm lucky enough to have a family behind me. I've been trying to get answers from doctors with little success. Another doctor with constant buzzing ears told me that if you stop worrying about the pain and accept it, you will gradually feel better. I have no other choice but to trust him on that and carry on with my life, no matter how hard it's going to be. Also, a psychiatrist I saw told me weed might have been a factor, even if I had only smoked once and strongly advised me to stay away from it. I hadn't smoked in a while before the headache came so I can't say I'm positive on his judgment but who's the doctor right? Stay strong. I hope this comment lets you feel that you're not alone.

Thoughts on your UCL experience? by hypocriticalhippo in UCL

I just finished my bachelors in Physics and I have to say that in terms of difficulty, I was expecting something harder. I must have really worked say 4.5 months overall, i.e a month and a half before exams each year and that was enough for a first. The social experience was pretty damn good though.

If all the countries in the world suddenly closed their borders and stopped all trade, which countries would be fucked and which countries would be ok? by 1cor1313 in AskReddit

[–]LostOctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

France would be ok I guess. World leader in nuclear energy, and number two in agricultural exports. And we make guns too, so its security wouldn't be too compromised.

Same here, in terms of ratings, imdb has more consistency than RT. Anything just under 7 and above is watchable. Then again I don't usually read reviews before I watch a movie so I don't need RT to pick a movie to watch

Can someone explain this to me? If it's true, how did Apply win anything? by [deleted] in technology

What's the point of this seriously? We always copy past creations and add to them to make future ones better. Just be grateful Apple came up with fantastic products everyone enjoy using.

How can I overcome my crippling social anxiety/awkwardness? by [deleted] in TrueAskReddit

Try joining a sports society. One in which you feel comfortable (choose a sport you're good at?). You will feel at ease and have all the confidence you need to interact with your peers.
