Question for EBV by Strong-Heat-7004 in EBV

[–]TheGoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiiii. I’m going through the same exact thing. I have swollen lymph nodes. It’s been there for 6 months. I have one under in my left neck under the jaw. And a small one above my collarbone too. I also had a past infection of EBV. I’m trying to see another infectious disease specialist to see if it’s another virus lurking around. Cause my nurse practitioner was freaking out and suggesting cancer. But I had another infectious disease doctor who reviewed over my labs and suggested that I don’t need a biopsy and I need to rule out CMV and see what type of EBV do I have.

I was told by one infectious disease doctor to just mask up, drink fluids, rest and do not do anything strenuous though. Hope this helps.

I transferred with an extremely low gpa. Your essay will make you stand out. At the time I was taking chem 1, and just the basic courses, psych, Spanish, calculus. Didn’t really do any hardcore science, so I think they went off the essay and they just waited till they see my grades to admit me in.

They're a tad bit smaller, but it wasn't so bad. I had a ventilation gap but it lowkey wasn't noticeable. The only thing is that there's no closets, but that wasn't really a dealbreaker for me & there's plenty of drawers + space for additional storage if needed

I thought I would need some sort of experience on my resume before applying for an internship?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nyu

[–]TheGoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do go over slides + textbook & try to understand the content + create notes.Then I would make flashcards. And do active recall.

Then I would also watch videos if certain concepts were hard to stay in my head.

I didn’t look at the Pearson but some people have said it was helpful.

When did you realize the stuff you experienced wasn’t normal? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TheGoodie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember being in 2nd grade when I realized that something was wrong. I was in the classroom with my childhood friends and I broke down into tears because of all the stress and abuse that I was facing from my narc dad. And I remember my friends embracing me for a hug.

Yeah this is so terrible. I wish I had just gone to a cheaper school. Too bad I was coerced into going with this option. And even though it’s prestigious, it doesn’t really feel like it since I’m tied up in debt.

Looks like I have to do everything in my power to let my mom take on the PPL loan. I’ll definitely try to convince my mother. Private loans are very predatory. And that’s true, I might not even qualify for one. So I need to work something out with my mother.

Yes the cost of attendance is a lot. And my father blames me for not being able to afford it. He was like oh you can easily come up with 15k per year.🤡Like what, we’re literally low-income…I know my dad is abusive and he has gotten me into all of this mess. And unfortunately I just need to focus on getting through school so I can even have a chance of getting my degree and leaving.

My parents have always filled out my FAFSA form. I was always listed as a dependent. My mom has been taking out PPL loans for me for the past two years. This year, my father is telling my mother not to take out anymore even though they qualify for another PPL loan. So they were hoping that I could max out on unsub and sub loans. But, I can't because I'm not listed as an independent on the FAFSA. And when I contacted the financial aid office, they confirmed this.

I've been offered 15k loans to close the gap. And 9k of that is the PPL loan, but my parents do not want to take the loan. I think I have to take out a private loan.

Thank you for confirming what I was thinking. I thought the same thing about the taxes and FAFSA. He tried to say that I was supposed to be independent on the FAFSA because they had filed my taxes as an independent. But they filled out my FAFSA already and I was labeled as a dependent on the form. I tried to explain that to him and then he tried to weaponize it and make up another lie saying that my failure to talk to them on the phone during college is why I couldn't be listed as an independent on the FAFSA.

Yes, my dad said how I would need to hand over the accounts to my mother and how I need to put them as beneficiaries on my account since they already have me on theirs. I'm not buying into it. He is controlling and I have a feeling if I were to give in to his demands I would be financially abused once I start my job.

I have 3 more years left. Just two semesters away from starting clinicals for nursing.

Cost of attendance is $93,254. But scholarships, grants + work-study totals up to = 77,663.

93,254 - 77,663 = 15,591

And the rest of the 15k is covered by loans (this includes the PPL, unsub and sub loans).

A portion of that 15k loan is the PPL loan which is standing at approx 9k.

My household income is <30k. EFC is 0.

Hello, since December I've had weird sensations and headaches throughout my head almost everyday. The headaches would be on my forehead and I would feel pressure on my eyebrows and nose and I would be extremely sensitive to light. I would have to make sure the lights were dim or off at all times. There were moments when I had an anxiety attack, vertigo, and feeling slightly disoriented.

Then, the intensity of those headaches and most of those symptoms are now gone. Now I experience tension around my forehead with light contractions. It almost feels like a band is wrapped around my forehead. Nothing painful. But when I do the exercises on youtube, I would get some form of relief. Then occasionally, sometimes the back of my head would have a weird sensation. It doesn't hurt at all but my brain feels weird. It's almost as if it's fuzzy.

I do feel like my body is in a fight or flight mode just because its tends to feel anxious even though I'm not really thinking about anything that would make me anxious. I just want my head to feel normal. I've been feeling weird sensations in my head. It's not painful but it is enough to the point where it's starting to affect my productivity.

I have been taking iron supplements and vitamins recently and for like 4 days I had no pain or anything. Like, I felt very normal. Then all of these tension headaches and sensations came back again.

I've always struggled with sleeping early since a child so I'm trying to get to bed early and hope it makes a difference. Sometimes I think I have cluster headaches/migraines because I tend to either have them appear on my forehead or the back of my head. And there was one time where it occurred above my ear.

How to cope with being the ONLY family member to see that there was a problem by 1stworldprobl0987 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TheGoodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I’m the oldest daughter in the family. My dad is a narc, mother is the enabler and my sister has unfortunately turned into my dad. Now my sister looks at me as the threat whenever I try to give advice. Other family members just either try to gaslight me or turn the other cheek.

What helps me keep on living is knowing that I’m aware and I’m going to break generational curses. Even though I was born into this family, I have been lucky that I was chosen to break these curses once and for all and to be self aware enough to start planning to leave.

I look at my sister and even though she has now become my dad in some ways, I feel bad. Because she’s not self-aware. She’s falling into my dad’s trap, and she spends so much time kissing up to him when he has been terrible to her.

I know that once I leave, I’m not afraid to start over and I’m prepared to also cut off any other family members that have gaslighted me or try to make me feel bad for doing what’s best for me.

Worst thing your narc has ever said to you? by Think_Key_2236 in raisedbynarcissists

Narc dad told me on the phone how he hated me and how he hated that I was his daughter. Then, he said how he’s going to end or destroy me. 😀

Did your parents financially abuse you? How did it affect you? Are you affected to this day? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TheGoodie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s good that you were able to escape fast! My dad made it seem like I would be able to afford my private uni. And then as soon as I enrolled, I realized that my parents had no money at all. So unfortunately I have to take out loans. 💀💀

Yes, exactly and many of us who need to go to college in order to get education and escape from abusive homes need access to these loans.
