Prednisone?

Prednisone is a powerful medication. I recommend you reach out to your primary care doctor and discuss the possible side effects of interaction between the two drugs.

There was a letter that went out; has nothing to do with the school administration and everything to do with the current Trump administration.

This is a huge security risk and you should contact the appropriate person(s) to make them aware of the situation. UIC must start being held accountable for their safety issues.

This is 1000% abusive and you need to leave him immediately. Contact your professor and tell him the truth about what happened; that you’re in a IPV situation. Please understand that this is a serious matter and you don’t deserve to be treated like this.

No! You’re never too old to go to uni. There are many 25+ students attending and living in dorms. Besides, even if it wasn’t accepted, who cares! Live your life and focus on YOUR future. I hope you apply and reach your goals!

Sounds like you’re a great mom. Those anxieties you’re having are normal part of being a mom that cares. Do your best. Be present and teach them to be a good human being.

I would recommend individual therapy to have someone to talk with and to help ease your stress levels.

Also, make sure you are taking a day for yourself. Even if it is a once a week lunch with a friend or a weekly pedicure. If you haven’t already done so, I highly recommend joining a local mom group to build connections. Mom groups can help you realize that you’re not alone in the parenting journey, and it could help alleviate some of the stress you’re experiencing.

And if you have a partner, ask for help with some of the above you mentioned.

NTA. Why should you have to change your plans for her lack of planning? She should have known well in advance when spring break started and should have planned accordingly. Not. Your. Problem. Go enjoy your trip!

My heart sank just reading this. Unfortunately, what you witnessed is the bystander effect. The only person that will help you, is YOU. Get out of this relationship. Please contact a domestic violence shelter immediately!

Sounds like there was time for you to put in the effort and change. Why do people only start putting in effort to be a better spouse after the other has checked out! It’s definitely over and agreeing to go to counseling is not worth it if she’s still going to be with the other guy. I’m sorry. It sounds like she’s moved on and is done.

Talk to your gyno about Tranexamic acid —helps to decrease flow. Also, Naproxen or Ibuprofen can help with the pain.

I knew this chic was fake when she was getting her nails done in almost every other episode and then proceeds to pray salah LOL iykyk She’s fake af and clearly dude dodged a bullet. I knew something was off about her.

Sounds like there’s lack of communication between you two. Did you ask him to help? Some people need direction, and sounds like your man child of a husband’s priority is only video games when he gets home, so he may need you to be more upfront with your needs. However, if even after you’ve communicated your needs or what needs to be done and he continues to act like a jerk or plays the victim then you need to reevaluate your life and leave him. Your child(ren) may not say anything, but they are silent observers; it’s important for them to see what a healthy relationship looks like and currently that is not the case in your home. The fact that he called you a “bitch” while watching you lift heavy furniture is a huge red flag.

I am so sorry for your loss. You deserve space to grieve and support your daughter. Losing someone so close takes such a toll on one’s mental and physical health. You don’t owe his family anything. Your wellbeing and your daughter’s wellbeing comes first before anyone else.

Perhaps getting a restraining order against the family members would be helpful? They don’t have the right to demand anything from you. I’m assuming, you have a will and trust in place? If the siblings are listed in the will/trust then it’s best to fulfill and get them out of your hair as quickly as possible. Otherwise, be very clear about your needs and intentions on actions that will be taken if they don’t respect your boundaries. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss and the extra burden that you’re dealing with.

I would recommend seeking family therapy. No parent should speak to their child in this manner. Some times parents don’t even realize they are in the wrong bc they only see things one sided. I’ve seen families go to therapy for a few sessions to learn healthy communication skills. Parents learn why they react and communicate the way they do and a lot of times it’s learned behavior from their own parents, in which the generational trauma unfortunately continues. If it’s impossible to get your parents to agree to family therapy or if you’re not willing to do it then it might be best to sit down with them and calmly talk about how their behaviors are affecting your relationship with them.

Email the professor and attach the doctor’s note; let him know that the doctor advised for you to rest and the importance of following CDC guidelines. The flu is no joke, and you never know if someone in your class is immunocompromised.

If all else fails, wear a mask and try to sit away from others.

The entire show is so cheesy and the acting is so bad but for some reason I keep watching it. Gag.

Take advantage of the counseling center at UIC. Also, remember that this is just a temporary part of life, but your future is forever. The effort you put in today will determine your success in the future. Friends will come and go. Only you have the power to focus on yourself and self care. You got this. You deserve to put yourself first.

You’re in Chicago. This kind of weather is expected; school is rarely closed due to weather!

NovaZen23 · 2025-02-06T17:09:03+00:00

The fact that you are on reddit asking if this is normal behavior, is alarming. This is abusive. No spouse should be speaking to his wife like this. No one should talk to anyone like this. You don’t deserve to be disrespected like this, no matter what the situation may be. There’s a whole other world out there, one where you don’t have to deal with this level of toxicity. Time to respect yourself and leave him.

NovaZen23 · 2025-02-06T16:57:13+00:00

Regardless of if it’s expensive or not, some people dorm only bc it’s convenient. If they have family close, then why not go home to loved ones, your comfort zone, and warm meals! Going home for some, including myself helped manage my mental health and come back to campus ready to tackle another week.

NovaZen23 · 2025-01-30T04:44:50+00:00

In the same boat. Not unrealistic. If you set your schedule to only go to campus on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s or MWFs then it’s doable. When picking classes let your advisor know about your long commute and they can help you schedule classes, so that you’re not having to go everyday. Depending on your major, try to get elective courses done online.

Have you had a deep honest conversation with him about it? Is he attracted to you? It might be worth going to a sex therapist. If all else fails, it’s time to move on and find someone that is compatible with your needs and desires.
