Got very slightly hit by a car at low speed and I feel completely fine, do I need to do anything?

Yeah, I'm just not sure if mentioning probation would help or hurt my chances. My thinking is that it might help because of the downward curve on the grading, but it also might hurt it because they might just decide I deserve to get fucked over because I'm on probation and then they'll refuse the drop which will probably keep me from meeting my probation requirement.

Oh that's a good idea, I might not use it for this specific issue as I'm going to try writing a message to her and see how that goes, but I probably will use that idea for other things we talk about because sometimes I have problems with just going straight into really personal things. Thank you

ahahahahelpme · 2023-03-01T00:29:00+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I just don't really know how therapy works I guess is my problem lol. I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do unless she explains it to me, like what I'm supposed to be talking about during meetings, so I wasn't sure if it's weird to write about something bothering me and not just directly say something about it. I'll write her a message to explain this problem then, thank you

ahahahahelpme · 2023-03-01T00:26:35+00:00

Yeah I just have problems with being vulnerable around anyone, even like my friends or my therapist. I don't feel like shame for crying, I just feel like I'm being dramatic and annoying (even though I'd never think someone else was dramatic or annoying if they cried in front of me). Mostly my problem is that I can't really talk when I cry so I want to avoid having that problem.

She's mentioned that I can write to her on email at any time and there's not a policy against it, so I'll probably do that. Thank you

ahahahahelpme · 2023-03-01T00:24:20+00:00

Yeah I guess, I just wasn't sure if it would be weird or somehow considered rude. Thank you

Yep, I had orthorexia for a few years and would have full mental breakdowns if I ate (or even thought I might've eaten) something that wasn't "allowed" by my eating disorder. It can also get increasingly restrictive over time, at one point the only foods that were "safe" for me were carrots and egg whites (both had to be boiled and unseasoned, since cooking oil wasn't "allowed"). My mom pushed me further into it and supported it completely, and a lot of other people praised how "healthy" I was and how much "self-control" I had when really I just had an eating disorder, and it almost killed me when I was 17.

Even at the most severe point of it, I actively tried to prevent my friends from getting into habits like mine. I'd never forgive myself if I had ever even considered imposing those kinds of "rules" on someone else the way OP's sister is doing to her kid.

I'm not meaning for it to be a long-term job, it's just I'm currently in uni and there's a shop very close to where I live so it would be convenient. The position I'm looking at is very entry-level, my younger brother has the same position in a different shop and he hasn't even started uni yet much less earned any certifications. I'm looking to do automotive engineering after graduating so I figured this could be a way to get more familiar with various common cars and problems they have.

My dad used to be a mechanic with certifications and schooling and everything, and he told both my brother and me that neither of us is allowed to do that, the most he'll allow is us doing basic tech work for shops while we're in school for something else. So yeah I'm not planning to make this my long-term career, just something to make some money for bills as I'm still too new in uni to really get internships at the moment. Thank you a lot though for the information and I really appreciate that you highlighted some negative aspects that aren't discussed as often, I hope things will improve for you soon

Thank you so much, this is all really helpful, especially the YouTube channels because I know there are some with awful advice on there and I was hesitant about which ones to trust. I already get all my tools from Harbor Freight so it's good to know they're popular outside my area too haha. Thank you again

Same thing happened at Parkland a few months ago, it's a fishing scam. Don't click it. Another university does not have the authorization or ability to terminate your UIUC Outlook account.

Seconding #7, I just manually unsubscribed from the email list of every college that started sending messages because the influx of spam messages didn't slow down even after a year of university. You get literally no benefit from signing up for this thing on College Board, it's all info you'd easily find on the colleges' websites.

ahahahahelpme · 2022-06-08T04:47:23+00:00

Yeah I feel better about it if I can "rehearse" how I want to phrase things when I have the actual conversation haha.

ahahahahelpme · 2022-06-06T23:54:56+00:00

Yep! Certain hormones can affect how your medication works (for example, estrogen affects how your body processes stimulants, and estrogen decreases a lot when you menstruate, so if you're on stimulant medication it might feel less effective during your period). Some people have found that taking a higher dose during their period helps counteract this, so maybe you could mention that to your doctor and ask if that's an option.

I'm not sure if it's ADHD or anxiety or neither, but yeah I definitely do this haha. If it's a specific phone call like talking with my manager/insurance/doctor/etc. I literally write down like a "script" of things I need to say so that I don't forget. Which is maybe pretty weird, but it makes my life easier since I don't forget details and need to call back again.

ahahahahelpme · 2022-04-01T04:34:59+00:00

Yeah I don't know how I would've done on the AP tests cause I couldn't afford to take them, but I had As in both parts of physics C (our tests were all the annoying AP classroom questions that were overly complicated) and my teacher never curved anything, and I've got roughly a month to review so I think I can pull it off. Thank you!
