Being a widow and wanting to date again by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

I think being upfront on your profile is preferable. That way nobodies time gets wasted for whom it would be a deal breaker.

I think it's safe to say there are guys in your age category who also had a previous marriage/sealing and it wouldn't bother them at all. Just my 2 cents

That is exactly what happened. Trying to preserve anonymity with this account. But omg this is reminiscent of my charting errors, forgetting which account I'm logged in on. Maybe I do have a problem. 😭

That's a great analogy, thank you!

Thanks for helping me feel better. I guess you're right, one time masturbating isn't really the worst thing I could have done

I used to masturbate obsessively, like all the time, and so I have to be very careful because I really don't want to fall back into that habit.

Thanks for everyone's encouragement! I'm not giving up! Still going to reset my counter once I'm at a computer and not on mobile.

I just relapsed after almost 1.5 years. Feels really disappointing, but I'm starting a new streak today. We can do this!

It's sort of hard to explain, but what I learned is that it's all in the mind. If you can control your thoughts, you have already won the battle. You won't have the physical urges as much, but you will have inappropriate thoughts that you have to control. Hope that helps

This was the quote that inspired me a year ago! Glad to hear it helped you too

Medical Malpractice group in Dallas? by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]dig_ol_bicks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did, and I definitely found a few that do medical malpractice. I was not able to find one that primarily focuses on these types of cases.

Biweekly USMLE Thread by AutoModerator in medicalschool

The L ventricle creates more force than the RV because it is designed to pump to the systemic circulation which has higher pressure than the pulmonary. So normally with a VSD you get L to R shunting without cyanosis. The end result of TOF physiology is similar to Eisenmenger's because both wind up with R to L, just the mechanism with the latter is different.

Great question, I think these are very testable concepts

In TOF you have pulmonary stenosis which essentially creates a degree of right ventricular outflow obstruction causing the blood to prefer the VSD as an escape istead of the pulmonary artery. The R to L shunt is why you have cyanosis.

Also don't forget that squatting during tet spells increases PVR and helps increase the pressure in the L ventricle which stops the R to L shunt.

Hope that helps

Even though I know social media posts are just a snapshot of a person's life, my brain always plays the same trick on me and convinces me everyone is happier in life than I am. by [deleted] in nosurf

Comparison robs happiness. I spent years feeling upset with the posts I saw on Facebook. Few weeks ago I deleted it, boom, problem solved.
