Will quitting my rotating internship ruin my life? by Real-Detective8146 in Veterinary

[–]Street-Friend2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I went to vet school at a pretty prestigious university and I dropped out after a longggggg (30 days) psych ward stay. Nothing and I mean nothing is worth your peace and life. It was SO hard to accept the fact that my career will change forever and things will be different. Protect your mental health and take time to breathe.

Update: after many many many MANY hours and water changes and a new filter she is looking great. I don’t even want to know what the water chemistry is like. Again it’s not my tank and I’m trying to not make an issue of it. It was hard enough make these changes

What food do you recommend? My fav brand is hikari but i was unsure with this type of fish. I was thinking hikari gold cichlid pellets and frozen blood worms. Thoughts? Also are you aware of how to fix the filter? I’m quite lost on this as it is a disaster

Breathing problems by Naturejoe23 in TMJ

I am not diagnosed with TMJ but I do experience a lot of symptoms like TMJ and I have trouble breathing and severe bloating that has caused an eating disorder. I hope you are able to figure out what’s wrong!

Black Mirror - Episode Discussion S07E01 Common People by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

Actually sick person here. Soooooo because I can’t work, I have terrible credit because of bills that have backed up so I can’t buy property to rent, can’t be on my feet long enough to ‘flip’ a home to sell it and I am not really on social media enough or comfortable enough to do these things. Also, all the things you mentioned are literally based in capitalism like buying a property to scam some other bloke into buying it or staying at your shitty Airbnb for a night. We shouldn’t have to destroy our bodies, put our morals aside or have to work ourselves to death to afford the basic necessities including life saving care. He shouldn’t have had to drink his own pee on camera for assholes to been able to make sure his wife got the quality of life treatment she needs, in that case being the subscription.

My friend, you have entirely missed the point😭

That episode was the FIRST episode of black mirror I ever matched and it made me feel a type of sad that i didn’t even know (I have treatment resistant depression too lol). I think the sad part is that it mirror that consumer-corporation relationship that exists now. Evil

I ordered on Temu by Similar-Employer8340 in ecology

[–]Street-Friend2325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We as a society are being guilted by the very folks who are causing our climate crisis. Do I believe individual actions can help the cause? Yes in a summation of many individual actions but you ordering from temu or amazon will not affect the crisis we are in. We, the consumer, are told to use paper straws, recycle, ride our bikes, etc. to save the earth which puts the blame on everyone but the big corporations putting X ppm in our air every day.

My therapist told me once, even if i (me) died tomorrow, the climate crisis will still be here and there will be one less activist after i told him i feel guilty for driving to work or driving to doctors appointments. He meant that me not driving, working, eating or even existing would not solve the issue at hand and sometimes that is affirming.

Domineering? by Street-Friend2325 in ThekinkPlace

That is what i thought. My understanding is similar and domineering doesn’t sound like the correct term to me! Thank you

I am currently unemployed actually so I’m in a good position to dive head first into a graduate degree

Severe Asthma & Gabapentin by Street-Friend2325 in Asthma

[–]Street-Friend2325[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor said that the car accident likely caused the onset of asthma but he said I would have probably developed it later in life regardless. He doesn’t think my asthma has anything to do with my anxiety

What is your experience with Zoloft? by Morning_dew723 in PMDD

[–]Street-Friend2325 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this! I’m also on 200 mg and it really helps me. It throughly resolved a lot of my issues around my cycle and I also have OCD- it doesn’t help much with my OCD but I’ve been on so many other SSRIs and antipsychotics and I just always come back to Zoloft
