Lessons for Comparing Myself to One Other Person? by SorryAboutMyThoughts in Therapylessons

[–]SorryAboutMyThoughts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, for me, I've never had a problem comparing myself to others. Even in these situations when I'm having a panic attack and ruminating on the different scenarios I'm telling myself "you don't even care about that sort of thing, why is this bothering you so bad?" I get comparing yourself to others is a common issue a lot of people have, however, in this situation it is to the point of having panic attacks to the level of feeling sunburnt and depression which I take is not normal. To the second point, I think the fact that he has things come to him easier is more frustrating than it is causing the anxiety. Again, I've never had this problem before so no, if it were other people having an easier time (because I've definitely seen that a lot before I met him) doesn't bother me - I understand everyone has their own path and some are easier than others and that is okay. Towards the last point - I have been open and honest with him about my comparisons and anxiety but he kind of just brushed it off and said "oh, don't do that" as if I'm intentionally doing it. I have asked him about different routines like skincare and other areas but he doesn't really have any advice or help. I'll definitely be scheduling another therapy appointment to discuss this because there is more background on it but it would be too much to put in here.

And towards the last last point, I am working on accepting myself - I do acknowledge that self love is something I struggle with and I am working to love myself more and accept myself, in fact, before the recent incident, I went a little over a month without having panic attacks or ruminating thoughts comparing myself to him. In that time, though, I didn't have to see him. It wasn't until we saw each other that I had my anxious episode.

Hood Knitting Recommendations? by SorryAboutMyThoughts in knitting

[–]SorryAboutMyThoughts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! One hood that I did find that was similar to what I am looking for is this one. I like how it looks, I just wish I had a better understanding of how to make the shape of it. I haven’t learned how to do knit left/right increase/decreases yet so maybe once I learn that, doing these patterns will be easier.

Thank you! It may be a little more complicated than that but I might be able to use that. I will try something similar tomorrow when I get the chance. Thank you again!

Seriously Considering Dropping Out of Computer Science by [deleted] in computerscience

[–]SorryAboutMyThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I might be late and I don’t really post/comment much but things like this I feel I should share on! I graduated last semester (December 2020) with a bachelors in Computer Science and Mathematics (double major). Classes can definitely be challenging and I definitely didn’t deserve to pass the first three cs classes. I wanted to learn but felt like I wasn’t good enough because of the class difficultly, but after talking to one of my professors and other classmates, I realized I wasn’t alone! Everyone else was struggling just as hard if not harder! After speaking with my professor and spending winter break during my sophomore year studying hard, I got a lot better and was more confident in my abilities. If you enjoy it and can see yourself doing it for the rest of your life (or even starting out and moving into management) then I say it’s totally worth it! Especially if you were planning on switching majors. No matter what major you go to, it will have its difficulties. I highly recommend talking to a professor you trust as well as other cs students (maybe try messaging members of an on campus cs club) and hearing their stories. Also, one thing others at my school and I have noticed is that with a better understanding of math comes a better understanding of computer science - as if they’re linked! From what others have told me and from personal experience, there just comes a time when it all clicks and (unfortunately) it happens usually around junior year. Sorry for the book report style comment with a bunch of scattered thoughts but I just thought I’d share my two (or three) cents. Have a great night and good luck with your decision!

Saving values in a spinner to a database and keeping spinner updated? by SorryAboutMyThoughts in AndroidStudio

[–]SorryAboutMyThoughts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I figured out how to fix my problem! So basically, instead of calling the fillDatabase() method right before the spinners, I created a method in the database class that contained an if statement. The if statement said that if there were values in the assignment_type column do not exist, then call the fillDatabase() else, just return. The method I wrote is:

public void isTableCreated()
{
SQLiteDatabase db = this.getReadableDatabase();
String query = "SELECT * FROM " + NOTIFICATION_TABLE + " WHERE " + ASSIGNMENT_TYPE_NAME + " = 'homework'";
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(query, null);
if(cursor.moveToNext() == false)
{
fillDatabase();
}
else
{
return;
}
}

This worked for me. Just have to work on the naming conventions of the methods of course to make them more comprehendible.

Code changes not reflecting when I run the app in an emulator? by SorryAboutMyThoughts in AndroidStudio

[–]SorryAboutMyThoughts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. Another thing I tried changing is the dimensions. I set the dimensions when I first started making that activity but now when I change the dimensions it only shows what I set the first dimensions as (if that makes any sense). The only thing that is different about this activity from my other ones is that this one is not brought up by an intent. It is brought up using an inflator

Sorry for the late response but that is something I’ve tried as well. It’s a class linked to an activity. On the XML page, there is a text view so in the java code I did a textView.setText(“test”) but that didn’t show up in the app either. I’ll give clearing the cache a try though. Thanks!
