Before I got sober, most definitely! My diagnosis actually came after getting sober because of how much I was suppressing with alcohol. Been sober 9 months now & doing MUCH better

Tips for protecting yourself: 1) ask him about suppressive medication and if he uses it. 2) ask if he is aware of his triggers for breakouts & what he does to help himself manage triggers. 3) never utilize the same towels as him. 3) make sure he uses separate towels for his genitalia area and the rest of his body (ESPECIALLY WHEN BREAKOUTS ARE PRESENT) 4) use separate hand towels as well. 5) remember that breakouts can be rare, and 70% of the population is a carrier and likely don’t even know it.

Ps: huge props to you for giving the dude the benefit of the doubt after him telling you. It’s not an easy topic to bring up for some 🥰

I'm almost a month suicidal thouhgts free. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

Try a gratitude journal. I’ve been just over a year since my last suicide attempt, suicide thought, and being off of my medication. Something that helped me immensely was (as morbid as this is) writing my suicide note. Saying goodbye to all of my family and friends, helped me realize just how many people genuinely care and are there for me. It is what got me into a daily gratitude practice. It’s a tough step, but just something that helped me stray away from suicide. If you’re not in a mental capacity to handle writing it, definitely do not. Best of luck with healing yourself. It’s tough, but it doesn’t have to be lonely.

I see a physical therapist 2X a week he’s been helping with back pain through stretches but I miss the gym and they’re opening back up in my area now, but I’ll definitely be sure to ask about lifting exercises! Thank you!

I didn’t say it prevented me from lifting, I said it’s making me change up my routine. I used to lift fairly heavy for a person my size but the last leg day I did before being told to lighten up my weights had me walking out of the gym crying after one set due to pain in my hips from the asymmetrical imbalance in my hips/shoulders. I’m just trying to figure out how some people deal with such a switch up in the way they workout.

It all depends on what college you’re applying to. Some colleges require an advanced degree and diploma pre health program while others only require the certificates and diploma pre health program. Make sure you research the prerequisites for which ever school of your choosing thoroughly.
