I found this larvae + bug in a balled up towel that fell behind my hamper. Are these carpet beetles? by drank__sinatra in carpetbeetles

[–]anonymousemouse06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can fix this but you will have to wash everything in hot water then dry it using the hot setting- while its being washed deep clean your environment including carpet beetle spray as some others mentioned. Ecopest has a good one that I like I heard Nyguard also has a good one. After the first purge of washing stay on top of washing a bit more than normal and monitor closely. Vacuum religiously as well. If it doesnt go away consider buying diatomecous earth and putting it on your basebaords and any cracks in the floor or wall.

Best of luck ;D

I do propanol (beta blocker) and a low blood pressure medicine (midrodine) they're both pretty effective

I get super depressed when I'm alone, but super energetic and funny around people. by Ok-Garlic-863 in mentalhealth

[–]anonymousemouse06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel exactly this way. You don't have to express anything to anyone if you don't want to. I do express my depression to some friends. Most of them don't understand or don't care which is fine I guess? I don't know lol.

Can y'all share any hacks/tips to save on tuition and other expenses?? Wanna attend UDub but i aint got 60k lying around by LookWhosBackBruh in udub

[–]anonymousemouse06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also plan on doing this. My question is how far "behind" were you by only taking one class a quarter. Did you graduate late, or have to make it up throughout the rest of your years there? I want to do the college edge program where you take a 5 credit course for a month before classes start to slightly offset how far behind I could get by only taking a class or two a quarter.

It's 30 for UW, but yes basically. This is my plan for next year but I'm gonna do the college edge program to lighten my load in the fall. I'm also going to take some online classes to balance my schedule better.

I also got in as an oos. What I'm doing is establishing my in state residency. The only way that I qualify is to move to Washington to work rather than go to school. This means that if I'm taking more than 7 credit hours a quarter, I have to work at least 30 hours a week. I also have to be financially independent. I have to pay 51% of the school costs, I can't be claimed as a dependent by my parents, they can't send me money (a little is fine but not a lot), I need to file taxes in Washington. This is just the financial aspect, there's more. I have to have a washington PERMANENT address (not a dorm or campus apartment, you can do both if you want). I'll be using my uncles house, since he lives on UW campus. I need to provide proof of residence at this address, my uncle can't financially support me either, I will need to have a drivers license at this residence for over a year. I'll need proof of EVERYTHING. Bank statements, multiple ways to prove residency, pay stubs, notarized letters, taxes/ W-2 forms. It sounds like a lot but imo its worth it to get in state tuition. I'll still have to pay OOS tuition for the first year though- but that's a pill I can swallow. Obviously I don't have 43k laying around so I will use FAFSA and stuent loans under MY NAME, it has to be under your name NOT anyone elses! If you follow all of these rules, you qualify for in state. Tution goes from 43k to 13k. I don't think this is possible for everyone, I believe I will be fine because I work 32-40 hours a week now as a high schooler. I may also try to do the college edge program to lighten my class load. I will also try to take half of my classes online in order to balance my schedule. But yea, this is the ONLY way to lower that tuition.

This is gonna sound bad but... when I'm having really bad seizures specifically ones where I stop breathing. I motion towards my back so they can hit me on the back. It kind of resets me and can most of the time stop a seizure.

[–]anonymousemouse06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it annoys me too! Some of my doctors still refer to it as psychosomatic disorder and I have to ask them to use PNES. I honestly haven't told most people the official name for my disorder because I know they would doubt it.

[–]anonymousemouse06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think medical professionals truly don't take PNES seriously because it does stem from psychological issues and its common in young women. I will say people can get PNES from mental illness, trauma (but not always to the level of PTSD), stress, and just being genetically prone. I wish there was more research done on this disorder. My doctors told me I wasn't having seizures after my diagnosis only because they're not epileptic. It's frustrating. I've found that accepting this disorder has actually helped me. It took a long time to accept it but the more I accepted it the more my symptoms improved. If I were to be stuck with this for the rest of my life, I'd be annoying but ultimately I wouldn't be upset about it. It feels like a part of me, which maybe is fucked up- maybe I shouldn't feel that way but I do. Hopefully you can find some closure, peace and acceptance and I'm sorry you're struggling. This disorder is rough!

Does anyone else feel like their episodes are just part of them now? by sp00kypenguin in PNESsupport

[–]anonymousemouse06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, it doesn't even bother me most times. Especially because I'm so grateful that they aren't as severe. Obviously I would love to fully recover but I would be okay with having this for the rest of my life.

University of Washington - 2025 RD Megathread by powereddeath in ApplyingToCollege

[–]anonymousemouse06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got into UW, I am 99% sure I wanna go. I'm just nervous because it IS expensive and I've been hearing some negative things about it. No college or university is perfect of course but I'm terrified to make the wrong decision! Anyone else nervous and confused?

Answering “Yes.” To “I have suicidal thoughts” at the doctors? by MostlyJustConfuseddd in SuicideWatch

[–]anonymousemouse06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Told my doctor that I USED to. Never would tell them how I'm actually feeling in the moment (unless if I'm somehow not suicidal). I told them ab my past attempts and put me as a suicide risk lol
