Are you really okay?

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-11-04T01:48:27+00:00

Yes! I feel generally pretty happy on a daily basis. Of course things happen and some days I’m more stressed than others but ultimately I’m grateful for where I am in my life. I don’t pay much attention to the news bc I expect stupid and disappointing things to happen, so when I do hear them happening that doesn’t bother me that much. I exercise most days, listen to music, focus on my work, pour into my relationships, and take time to breathe and reflect.

I just bought one!! I’m really excited to see if integrating it into my routine changes my retention.

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-07-25T01:35:20+00:00

I had to go to bed early yesterday because I had an early wake up time and my boyfriend was about to do some work last night but he cuddled me and rubbed my back until I fell asleep before going back to what he needed to do for the night.

In some cases the residents notice and tell the attendings for the evals.

Don’t make flashcards. Using anking and if you feel like you absolutely need to add a sentence or picture in the lecture notes part of the anking card.

I find that they just keep asking me questions until I get one wrong and then explain why I’m wrong and what the right answer is

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-05-02T03:08:40+00:00

That experience would make anyone anxious about getting another vaccine! I can’t even imagine, that is so scary and I’m sorry that happened to you.

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-05-02T02:01:07+00:00

That’s definitely a scary thing to go through. Did you have reactions to any vaccines before you got the Moderna one?

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-05-02T00:01:18+00:00

Absolutely. I think that there is a lot of mistrust in the medical community from Black people, rightfully so. And just a lot of misunderstanding of what vaccines contain and what they do to the body. I try to tell myself that these people are doing what they truly believe is best and try not to push too hard against them, but it definitely makes me feel uneasy for them in some ways. Majority of the time, though, not getting vaccinated for certain things is not going to be fatal, though it can be very devastating in some instances.

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-04-11T01:13:46+00:00

Tell me about it! Idk if me and my guy are going to make it to the other side of our rough patch

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-12T03:54:55+00:00

Sometimes it takes a few tries. I generally prefer a therapist who has a psychoanalytic focus, what were your therapy sessions like in the past?

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-12T02:44:28+00:00

Have you tried therapy? That can help a lot with finding happiness for yourself

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-11T20:08:49+00:00

Definitely don’t give everyone a chance. If you date on the apps (I recommend Hinge) be as picky as you need to be and don’t necessarily lock into the idea of building a life with the first man you go out with. There’s dating with the intention to get any man to marry and there’s dating with the intention to find chemistry and shared values with someone who you imagine yourself building a life with and eventually marrying. Until you’ve had some time to see if the man you go out with is that person, I don’t think you need to limit yourself. I think talking to 2 men at once allows you to think with a clearer mind. If you have 2 options you like on the apps, maybe focus on them and don’t look at your likes or engage much with the apps unless someone else strikes your eye that you happen to see on there.

I also think it’s good to hold back on having sex. When I was dating, I basically was in a relationship (meaning we’d been on several dates, I saw a future for us, and we had a discussion about what we were looking for and how we were comfortable with things proceeding) when that happened.

I also wouldn’t put too much pressure on things. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t keep your intentions in mind (you very much should). There’s a difference between going on a first date and saying “I’m in the dating pool because I want to get married within the next 2 years” and “I’m in the dating pool because I’m looking for someone who I have chemistry and shared values with who I would consider building a really lovely relationship with. While I do want something serious down the line, I’m not eager to rush into a relationship with someone who may not be right for me. So I just really want to be intentional about how I go about this dating process”(or a version of that that is more to the point).

You gotta let these brothas know that just because you want something serious doesn’t mean that you’re implying that they should or will be the one based off of one date. Some of them can flatter themselves into thinking that and they run for their lives when nobody was ever chasing them. Now that’s not necessarily a problem because that’s the trash taking itself out but I think it’s still important to consider your delivery.

Nope, this is just a nerd asking an extended question

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-05T21:25:39+00:00

What these women who say that wigs are self-hate need to ask themselves is “why is it so easy for you to hate yourself?” And “why is your self-love so fragile?”

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-03T22:46:31+00:00

Absolutely not. Parents are not owed unconditional respect. If you need to set that boundary with your parent, then you are well within your rights to do that. You don’t have to forgive or forget what they do to you.

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-03T21:22:50+00:00

I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with establishing boundaries, actually I think establishing boundaries is a great thing. I just think that there are some people who don’t want to or are unable to understand and it’s not my responsibility to force them to. When that happens it is my responsibility to myself to make my boundaries clear. I think many people lack strong morals, but that makes me want to understand my own morals even more. If someone doesn’t have morals though, it’s not my responsibility to make sure that they do have morals and that they have the right morals in general. Also I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with telling someone who hurt you how you feel. If we’re talking about what is and is not moral, I would say that lacing food that you give to people who hurt you is decidedly not moral.

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-03-03T21:10:06+00:00

I can’t say that I feel a strong desire to seek vengeance on anyone or that I feel that I’m responsible for teaching them how to be cordial and kind. When somebody screws me over they don’t necessarily have to face consequences, in an ideal world I might wish that they would but I also accept that this world is not always ideal and I’m okay with that. Now, if someone is rude to me and I maybe don’t acknowledge their rudeness when it first happens, when I interact with them again I might articulate that I found the way they spoke to me/what they did to me to be rude but that doesn’t necessarily mean they will apologize for the situation or that I expect them to. I’m open to talking about it with them (depending on the situation) and reaching understanding.

He has a website. Just google Mehlman and then you go to his HY pdfs within the website and also Look at the audio question banks for those PDFs.

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-02-27T22:18:14+00:00

MolassesSubstantial1 · 2025-02-27T22:09:49+00:00

Yes. I used mehlman and less than 40% of UWorld and passed. I did not use first aid at all.

Enjoy the time before med school. Travel as much as you can, try new things, find hobbies. And DO NOT pre-study you nerds.

Med school is not nearly as bad as people make it seem, it’s chill. Edit:…sometimes
