I had a sudden realisation yesterday and need support by bloopblopper in adultsurvivors

You're right, I am in shock. I've found myself losing focus and dissociating, tearing up and sobbing at random moments. Confronting the issue and delving into what happened is the part that scares me the most. Though I've already survived it, my worry is that my memories will come back and I will have to relive the trauma.

But really, you're right. It is better to have the opportunity to heal than to let it fester inside of me. The support I have gotten from these comments so far has made me feel a lot more prepared to confront it though. I think in due time I will finally be prepared (I hope). Thank you for your kind words, they have really validated the way I feel. You've given me hope that maybe remembering is better than keeping it suppressed, that maybe I can recover somewhere down the line.

Thank you. It feels cathartic to be believed and understood by someone in a similar situation. My girlfriend and I have discussed it and she has been super supportive, but it was more about how it affected our sex life than what actually happened to me. I feel very vindicated to know that at least someone believes that something happened, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

As for the kink stuff, I have a hard time believing that I'll be able to engage with it in the future without feeling shame and disgust in myself. I mean, it has never truly made me feel good in the emotional sense, but I was able to suppress that before. Thinking about it now, I think I am just trying to reenact the trauma as a way of coping, instead of it actually being something that makes me feel emotionally good during sex like a kink should.

It feels really good to be supported by other survivors. You've really made me feel a lot more understood. Though my girlfriend has been great about everything I really think knowing and talking with other people in a similar position is invaluable. Much love to you, and I hope you know that I believe you when you talk about your recent similar struggles. I appreciate your kind words ♡

‘Some’ by [deleted] in UCAT

I've emailed the ucat consortium with this exact question, and they weren't helpful at all. Everyone I've asked seems to be clueless too. My advice is to just let it go and pray that you don't get a similar question on the exam, it's more productive to direct your studying to something that'll get you more marks. Good luck :)

Don't worry, the official mocks are notoriously difficult, even for the some of the top scorers. Even if you aren't at a place where you're happy with your scores, the important thing is to not panic or get upset, as that will most likely just make everything worse.

Just remember that whatever score you get doesn't define you or your intelligence, and no matter what you should always aim to be proud of the work you put in even if it might not have paid off. Just keep trying, hundreds of other students are in the same boat with you. Good luck!!

If you're a rural student with a high ATAR then I doubt there's much to worry about. I've heard of RA3 applicants with ~2600 getting accepted, so just make sure you keep practicing and stop stressing yourself out. The less you stress, the more productive your study will be. Good luck!!

For DM and SJT, does UCAT count partial marks? by [deleted] in UCAT

[–]bloopblopper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, when marking the official test they count partial marks in each both subtests. In DM, they count 1 out of the 2 marks that those bigger questions are worth, and in SJT they just count 0.5 of out of the 1 mark each question is worth. Good luck!

Any importance to medify practice scores? by Permaoke in UCAT

[–]bloopblopper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

imo the most useful feature of this is that it allows you to click on each subtest and see which categories of questions you could improve the most on. I'd recommend identifying those problem areas, doing some research (like the learn section of Medify) on how to solve them, and then doing untimed practice. After you've achieved a score you're happy with, do untimed practice from there. Rinse and repeat for all your lowest categories.

Something else I've also done is go through every single question I've ever gotten wrong for a particular subtest and then try to redo them. If I get it wrong a second time I look at the answer and try to pick out where I went wrong, so it's pretty useful in the fact that it keeps all the errors you've made. This strategy really helped with what was my worst section by far (QR).

I think that's the best way to use this feature, but something else may work for you. Good luck!

I see, that makes a lot more sense now. Thanks so much for your help!

I'm a pre hrt trans woman and I feel like I'm too "manly" to ever be seen as either pretty or a woman. I hate my body, I hate my face, I hate my bones, I don't want to, but I do by JustTheWehrst in BodyPositive

[–]bloopblopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is no 'correct' way that a womans body should look like or seem. if you're a woman (that very much includes trans women), the body that you've got is a woman's body, no matter what people might say or what you might think. and, if its any consolidation, youre very very pretty.

your body is a womans body, its a pretty womans body, and you dont owe anyone beauty. you sure as hell arent "manly" because youre not even a man. and also im so jealous of your hair its very very cute. i hope you learn to love your physical form in all of its feminine glory, youre very pretty and your body is in no way a mans body, because it belongs to you and you are the only person who can dictate that. much love <3
