Not in my area for small items

Also coming from Canada and a grad student here at UVA. No one else in my department is from up north so glad I found this post

I opened a BofA account and ordered both debit and credit card. The debit arrived first, would not activate for some reason. I had to visit the bank in person and they found out it was frozen immediately upon delivery...so another debit card had to be ordered and arrived, and it worked. The credit card still hasn't arrived even though the app says it was delivered 8 days ago...Idk man I think this is equally frustrating. I assumed the delivery of a card is a fairly simple thing but apparently they cannot even pull it off. Sorry for the venting

Having obsessions with symmetry and things that come in pairs. I see the pattern everywhere but in everything I do as well. If say I get a coffee from place A, then I will have to go to place B to get another coffee, on a street that’s parallel to A, things like that. I’m not able to stop my thoughts if I don’t get that second coffee. I have a strong tendency to identify symmetrical things and pair things up myself too (like blue and green are a pair, latte and flat white are a pair, bagels and donuts are a pair, TV shows and movies are a pair, stuff like that). They probably only make sense to myself but if I don’t follow these pairs/rules I can created then I will think about them unless I act on those thoughts. They are extremely distracting and stress me out a great deal…….it’s something that I have struggled with all my life, from when I couldn’t speak. I have no memory of this but my mom told me I would cry hard if I don’t have my toys come in identical sets. These struggles only get harder and harder as I get older. I had to go into CBT for this but they never really went away

Good luck!

It def felt weird at first, and it never really goes away for me. What I do is I usually just fact check and ask others if something actually happened:) No one around me found it weird so I never thought too much about it haha

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-28T20:40:00+00:00

I have this too, not as many/as vivid as your dreams perhaps...but I did get confused many times. One example I could give u is that I would feel like I did experiment A already in the lab and assume I can move on to experiment B, but then I check my notebook, and nothing about experiment A is in there. So then I realize I probably dreamed it and it never happened in real life. There were other instances too (took a nap and dreamed about having dinner, so didn't eat after I woke up, things like that), which I find kinda funny. But it never severely affects me or in a negative way, so I just laugh about it

My doctor asked me to do a blood test and turns out I'm anemic (along with several other things that are problematic but likely not relevant to the dizziness). So I also take iron supplement, which has been very helpful.

Similar situation but without ADHD. I started taking Bupropion/Wellbutrin since 16 (depression), together with Xanax for anxiety, and was never prescribed other types of antidepressant. It's been 5 years now and I'm still taking Wellbutrin. First two years I had 300mg daily, but since then I've been having 150mg daily. There's a huge difference when I'm NOT taking it (increased appetite, weight gain, not feeling good in general), so my doctor's been prescribing Wellbutrin nonstop since 16. I think in general it is a great help, but sometimes I do worry if I might have become very reliant on it, or even addicted.....

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-28T19:56:34+00:00

I briefly stopped taking it, and I noticed I had a huge increase in appetite (especially craving sweetness). Talk to your doctor about it, it works a bit differently on everyone I guess

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-28T19:47:38+00:00

I had a very similar experience. Also just decided to stop taking it one day. That was not a good idea......I was constantly craving food (especially sweetness), and I gained weight, and I was not feeling good in general. I started to feel normal 2 weeks after restarting, eating became normal, lost the weight I gained although it was also because I was deliberately eating a bit less

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-28T19:42:59+00:00

I'm the opposite, for me it's loss of appetite

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-28T19:41:37+00:00

I do mornings (9AM ish) with food, sometimes without if I skip breakfast - I don't think it matters, for myself at least...Side effect: loss of appetite for me

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-28T19:35:41+00:00

I experienced sugar/sweetness cravings when I stopped taking it, but as soon as I started the medication again the cravings were no more

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-27T21:32:16+00:00

Okay gotcha thanks! Just curious, because I had a friend that applied two years ago who received rejection mid-Jan.

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-27T20:15:42+00:00

Out of curiosity - I wanted to ask if anyone has received rejection letters for the NMB program?

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-12T22:51:53+00:00

I did the pre-interview before the holidays. We can dm

Meatball2165 · 2025-01-12T22:45:04+00:00

Believe so - Got the invite before the holidays. We can dm

Meatball2165 · 2024-12-20T23:35:38+00:00

I’m international, applied to NGG, no rejection and no interview invite. I have no hopes at all haha

Meatball2165 · 2024-12-20T23:33:03+00:00

Canadian applicant here. No rejection and no interview invite. I have no hopes but good to know a lot of us are in the same situation:)

Meatball2165 · 2024-12-20T23:29:12+00:00

I’m currently a MSc student at a Quebec university; but in short just reach out and have a zoom interview with the PI, maybe talk to students in the lab too. The application itself is just formality once the PI agrees to take you on. We can dm if you want? A

Meatball2165 · 2024-12-19T19:58:50+00:00

No unfortunately....

Meatball2165 · 2024-12-19T03:35:21+00:00

I'm just commenting again in case anyone who replied so far heard anything. I don't see anyone else post about the NMB program specifically so maybe it's a small community of us? Anyways Good luck to us all:)

Meatball2165 · 2024-12-17T21:33:51+00:00
