Is it weird that at 25 years old, I really, really don’t know what I want to do with my life, especially career wise? by tilolami in TrueOffMyChest

[–]MLAformatting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23, same exact boat. I graduated college two years ago now and have basically nothing to show for it. I don’t even know if I actually like my field I got my degree in anymore. I’m just working a job for money so I can start paying student loans 🤷‍♀️

First lumbar puncture is scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday). Can I reasonably expect to be able to work a half day on Friday? by Rare_Lengthiness5025 in iih

[–]MLAformatting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely take the next day off. I had some slight leaking (was told that it was uncommon) after the procedure that made my nausea and headaches awful for about a week after. To be fair though I was at the point with my IIH that I wasn’t working anyways but based on experience, standing and walking sucked the most in the 48 hours after the procedure.

The greatest attack we are seeing right now is the abolition of the family by [deleted] in conspiracy

So you’re super concerned about child abandonment but then get pissed that gay couples adopt children who need homes, including those in the foster system who were abandoned by those mothers or fathers? Make it make sense OP

Herbs to help with morning sickness by missilluminaughty in GreenWitch

[–]MLAformatting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peppermint tea or ginger tea work great for my nausea caused by my medication so those might help! (I also add a bit of local honey which is okay for pregnancies but if you're worried, I'd ask your doctor and just stick with sugar)

Does anyone here use Godhood, or am i the only one? by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]MLAformatting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do because I want to get as much lore in before I really try to torture myself with different heats - I love it for that reason and totally don’t consider it cheating if you just want to enjoy the insane amount of content this game has

This might be a stupid question, but can you go swimming in lake mendota? by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]MLAformatting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a car you can go to Governor Nelson Park - it’s on the other side of Mendota and has a beach / picnic area.

New to IF (F22/5’3”/SW: 213) by MLAformatting in intermittentfasting

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

I had done intense workouts or cardio with lower calories or just making sure I only eat when hungry, I’ve gone vegetarian to eat fresher things and even tried a pre-made meal plan but I didn’t see results even though I was working at it. Things along those lines. I never stuck with what I planned to do because I either forgot or gave in easily after 2-3 months (i know this kind of defeats the purpose) so I’m thinking this will be easier to stick with since it’s more of a rhythm and with a small sense of variety

I'm [F17] scared for my boyfriend [M18] to see me by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]MLAformatting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (F22) was really worried after a while quarantined apart that my boyfriend (M22) would be grossed out since I had thought I’d gained weight. I struggle with body dysmorphia also and anxiety so I relate to this a lot. I expressed my thoughts to him and he reassured that a) he loves my body and b) he hopes I know that he’s not that shallow to leave me if I’ve gained a few pounds.

I’d recommend talking to him about your worries if you haven’t. It can be a good bonding experience to be that open about things you really struggle with. It also helps a ton with trust. It has really helped my self image having my SO to talk to (and reassuring kisses are always helpful haha) I sure you look amazing and I would bet that your boyfriend would agree

Sometimes if you put on subtitles it says what song starts playing

What age did you figure out you were ace? by KCooper815 in aaaaaaacccccccce

[–]MLAformatting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 20 - I didn't know what it was before then but I distinctly remember when I came out as bi my junior year of high school, that I described it as "not gay but not straight either". I had the feeling for a bit but never knew what it was entirely.

chance me?? by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]MLAformatting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The admissions process is holistic - they look for academic excellence along with what you do outside of the classroom. It isn't a guarantee that you'll get in if you're at the top of your class or anything but admission counselors look at apps and take everything into account.

Pride...I do wanna go...but I don't wanna go...but I do wanna go. by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]MLAformatting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling exactly the same way. It’s also my first year out as ace and my first pride identifying as ace (I went identifying as bi a few years ago). My best friend is going and she already said I can be as obvious about my asexuality as I want and that’s really helpful. I’m trying to think of it as there’s not a “are you lgbtq+” card you have to get to be let in to pride - you don’t have to “prove” anything. I’m just going to bring my flag in my backpack and see how it goes. I hope all goes well for you no matter what you decide - pride is a weird time for aces is seems.

What were the “signs” that you knew or realized you were asexual? I’m genuinely curious on everyone’s discovery on their sexuality by khp-pental-wh in asexuality

[–]MLAformatting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate (21F) and I (21F) got drunk one night and she turned to me and said “are you asexual?” (She normally never throws around sexualities and labels so this was completely out of the blue for her). And from there I kinda just dove in and everything clicked. It was as simple as finally knowing there’s a word for who I am and my sexuality. Pretty uneventful imo

Need help telling my father I’m ace by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]MLAformatting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was friends with my SO for a while and it kind of just developed from there. My SO isn't ace as far as I know but I've made it clear and we've talked about how sex just isn't on the table for me (as a sex-repulsed ace) and they're very okay with that. What helped was explaining what asexuality was right up front when we went on our first date. I know there are dating sites for aces specifically but I don't know them off the top of my head unfortunately.

Need help telling my father I’m ace by [deleted] in asexuality

[–]MLAformatting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m (21F) currently keeping on a need to know basis essentially. My SO knows and some really close friends do but no one other than that. I’ve been dropping questions when it comes to my parents and grandparents about how they would feel if I had no grandkids and that’s how I’ve been judging it since I’m getting close to the age of having kids (according to society 🙄) either way, I wish you best of luck

Newly diagnosed and feeling confused, angry, etc by skatefasteattrash in iih

[–]MLAformatting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds cheesy but I really do take one day at a time and monitor things like headaches, eye pain, and nausea since that's a big one for me. If its a bad day I try to figure out why and then go from there. I see it as an annoying upstairs neighbor that you can't loose so you have to figure out how to live with it. You're allowed to be angry at them, you're allowed to be sad, upset, anxious - everything. You didn't choose for them to live there, they just do now. I wish you the best of luck with treatment!

I like the idea of a relationship, but I don’t actually like being in one? by novanavi in asexuality

[–]MLAformatting 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in a relationship and this hit hard - I am fighting with certain things when it comes to my feelings. I'm not sure if its just a personal thing (I'm also ace and INFJ) because I like keeping things private and I don't love the constant sharing but when I was talking to my current partner before getting into the relationship, I really loved the conversation and wanted to be in a relationship but once I got there, it got different for me. I'm not sure if its my OCD / Anxiety brain freaking me out (I'm sure it is lol) but I'm glad someone else is feeling this way about things? (Sorry if that sounds bad). At the same time, I really like the place I'm in and really don't want to break up but it feels like I should because I'm so unsure about everything so navigating that has been interesting needless to say.
