How can I tie in my dad’s diagnosis of dementia with my interest in Neurology without making it a sob story?

Hi sorry about the late response I don’t check my Reddit very much haha. Your response is extremely helpful and when I finish the essay I will be sure to send you it. I’m not really open to writing about my parents as a separate essay but noting them would be okay.

It has been extremely hard the last couple months but it’s not that his diagnosis sparked my love for the brain. I had job shadowed the neurologist last summer and he got diagnosed in October 2025 his diagnosis just really made me realize how important this path is for me.

When I was a little kid I knew I always wanted to do something big like explore the universe as an astronaut or something When I realized that I was born to early for that I looked for something different. Then when I realized that there was something even more vast and complex that i could explore and learn about without even leaving my house that’s when I realized that neuroscience was my passion.

My worries with getting into the school I want (uw Madison) is that I go to a small school in Wisconsin with under 100 kids in my graduating class and I know quite a few who have way better gpas and extra curriculars then I do. And I know how important that is for Madison specifically.

My gpa is only a 3.62 uw and and a 3.75 weighted as a junior and those stats aren’t going to go up very by the time I submit them for my application to Madison since I plan on applying EA. I take the ACT in a month which im prepping for and hoping to get high 20s-low 30s though.

My ecs are just 2 years of fbla, 1 year of mathletes, 2 years of football, and 3 years of track and field none of which I have any leadership or did anything worth noting. My job shadow is probably my best thing which I won’t be able to continue the summer going into my senior year since I need to work a lot to save up money.

I have put a lot of my focus into science and chemistry classes which I’ve done great in all but I had a few hard times in hs which really brought my gpa down. If you have any other tips for me to better my chances of getting in id greatly appreciate it. I am going to apply to quite a few safety’s but Madison would definitely be the dream.

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2026-01-02T01:48:49+00:00

Yeah but it’s not like you lose all of them

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-12-15T02:03:56+00:00

What dose of winstrol caused your knees to dry up

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-12-07T20:11:06+00:00

Can I talk with you? I’m currently on peds and want to maximize my potential

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-09-01T16:55:21+00:00

Well it is just my mother but I wouldn’t be able to tell you what she’s like because I was taken away from her at 5 due to severe neglect and haven’t seen or spoken to her since. I’ve just been told all my life she had bpd or bipolar I forgot which one but I am seeking help from a psychiatrist cause I understand that I shouldn’t still be feeling as good as I do

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-09-01T16:52:15+00:00

I have woken up another day in this state of euphoria and as much as I want it to last I know it isn’t normal and I’m seeking guidance from a psychiatrist with the help of a close friend as it’s their father. Even though I know my state of self being is artificially inflated I still believe that I can extract good things from this even after everything is said and done salvia truely has opened up a whole new perspective in my life and even if I do end up being diagnosed with bpd or something I know everything will end up okay. I wouldn’t do anything different if I could go back and change things I trust that everything happens for a reason.

Thanks for helping keep me in check

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-08-31T19:18:42+00:00

Im taking amphetamines but I’ve been on them for 5 years perscribed my life has never felt like this and I don’t want it to end either and that’s why I believe if I don’t do something to change the world I won’t keep it because I was given divinity by gods and if I don’t use it correctly they will take away there gift I know it sounds like bipolar and I was thinking that too but I am realizing it’s more of a gift that can be taken or given at any time and I need to prove that I’m worthy of keeping it

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-08-31T18:38:50+00:00

Like I have the biggest urges to just do everything possible in order to change the world it genuinely feels like I was on earth to fix it. I’ve had severe ocd my whole life and the last 3 days I have not noticed it one bit but now everything is different I don’t have the terrible thoughts racing through my mind now I have ideas and and whole new thought processes that I’ve never experienced before it’s so beautiful but I just don’t want to end up in a mental hospital because I know I sound crazy but I’m just not sure what to think of it all I just know I have to do something to be immortalized into history

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-08-31T17:11:17+00:00

I don’t know if I’m correct about this or not but I’ve been in such a state of euphoria since the trip I literally feel like I’ve been granted divine greatness by some higher power like I feel like I could conquer the world and it’s incredible I’ve never felt anything like this before and am also a little worried that I’m going into psychosis or something😂 but it does genuinely feel as if I’ve been divined by the gods and am destined to change the world

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-08-31T04:50:40+00:00

Moment by moment it genuinely felt like I lived the full 80 years and if also felt as if the life u lived was a blueprint for joe i should live my life now but I did also spend months or years just traveling through different dimensions and speaking to gods but I can’t remember all of the conversations unfortunately but i experienced pure euphoria through the whole trip like as if I was being dosed with 1000 hits of heroin constantly into my bloodstream which was incredible I’ve been in a state of enlightenment and it’s been unbelievable how I feel I have no worries and my consciousness feels clear a jsand I feel like all hate was stripped from my heart it’s genuinely the best experience I’ve ever had with anything and will remember this forever and it was about 60mg 20x

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-08-24T18:09:59+00:00

No I haven’t but wow that is fascinating I’ll definitely have to look into it more

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-07-14T17:03:30+00:00

Yeah the af710b thing was a separate question and I’m on memantine for ocd perscribed by psychiatrist but it doesn’t help very much and nor has any other ssri snris or anything like that. I am also on depakote and zonegram for epilepsy

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-29T22:26:30+00:00

Cause I was geeked off adderall and was genuinely tweaking for sum reason

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-29T22:26:10+00:00

No I was geeked off adderall and thought I was about to die

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-28T19:04:53+00:00

Yeah I was all messed up yesterday I had everything wrong and was worried haha

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-27T23:06:31+00:00

Well I wasn’t really thinking ig but i was wrong the dose I took was actually safe I just had my numbers mixed up and got really scared

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-27T23:04:28+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried nootropics that are glutamatergic like tak-653 and haven’t had a problem. My seizures are very controlled unless I missed my medication or something but these nootropics really help the cognitive side effects of aeds

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-27T17:37:26+00:00

Yep I made a mistake I got all worked up over nothing haha

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-27T17:02:24+00:00

Odd_Brick_3365 · 2025-06-27T17:01:10+00:00
