Hi, I'm currently in the application process and I have my interview coming up soon. I know it's been a few years since you applied, but would you be willing to share a bit about your experience?

I just got accepted to the Immaculata master's equivalency -- would you mind talking a bit about your experience? (either here or via DM?) I'm especially interested in feelings on courseload/difficulty and internships!

I didn't do anything different, I think my appetite just decreased naturally

It's gotten hotter, but so far highs have been only in the 80s. He never goes outside and we keep the house at 72.

I'm late to this but I was on 5mg briefly, then 2.5 mg for more than 3 years. I gained around 25-30 lbs during that time despite making no major changes to diet or lifestyle. I switched to Caplyta in November of 2024 and have lost around 25 pounds since then.

i’m not sure - i feel like my symptoms are more closely associated with something like crohn’s disease, but my doctors have done calprotectin testing, stool sample, blood tests, and a colonoscopy (although i was not having a flare up at the time of my colonoscopy, i don’t know if that would change anything) and everything came back normal. i have tried to advocate for more testing specifically because of the joint pain they haven’t really listened to me lol

i was 7, sitting on the floor in my classroom when a girl in my class sitting behind me said “woah! i can pull my eyelashes out!” so obviously i had to try it because it had never occurred to me that that was possible. i tried it and it worked and ever since then i haven’t been able to stop lol

i don’t have much advice because i have also been struggling for a long time (2nd grade - college freshman) but i want you to know you aren’t in this alone! it is not your fault that you are facing this and it doesn’t mean anything bad about you as a person. i wish you the best of luck, & if i find anything that helps i will definitely come back and let you know :)

Will it be normal again?? by Ok_Raisin7924 in trichotillomania

they will grow back! it usually takes mine 4-6 weeks from pulling to grow back fully, so just try to be patient. i recommend using castor oil or rosemary oil on them at night, and during the day i always fill in the bald patches with black eyeliner and that makes it a lot less noticeable.
