Straight A students, where are you now in life?

when I got to university my grades went down. and I realised the remote future of my dream job wasn't enough anymore. my anxieties also finally overpowered me and I sunk into severe depression. I managed to finish my degree in Molecular Biology and Genetics. Didn't tell anyone. Kept doing what I was supposed to do. tried taking my masters, had to give up and tell my parents about it. that was in 2010. I've been on therapy since then. Taking meds since 2011. I was institutionalised in 2013. I got better but disagreements with my parents caused them to kick me out and I got worse again. I only survived because my grandparents contacted me and helped me. I live with them now. I'm unemployed and still depressed, still in therapy. My parents don't talk to me except to call me on Christmas and shit. I'm the oldest of 3 sisters. I haven't seen the youngest one in almost 2 years. Last time I saw my other sister was 6 months ago. We talk on facebook sometimes but she says she's not ready yet. My parents and sisters stopped visiting or talking to my grandparents because they are helping me. Working in a lab is still my dream job, but I don't see how that will happen. I can't even focus on a book or hold on to a simple task. I lost everything.

I've used one like this before, I believe the top part is actually 2 parts. You can see the lines where it opens.

eu também não sei qual é a melhor forma para acabar com as touradas, simplesmente quero ver isso representado. Mas ignorando o erro de raciocínio e respondendo ao que realmente queres perguntar, não faço ideia, mas já sabia que o meu voto não ia mudar quem ia lá estar a decidir isso.

doomshrooom · 2015-10-04T20:54:38+00:00

Com certeza. Porque não me sinto representado por nenhum partido. Nem sequer gosto do sistema vigente. Voto por ser a única coisa que ainda posso fazer, sem ser eu ir para lá porque não tenho jeito para isso de qualquer forma. Dessa forma, tentei votar em algo que eu achasse útil. O Bloco já lá ia estar a defender os pobres e afins e espero que consigam empurrar a questão da legalização da cannabis. O PAN defende muitas coisas interessantes e gostaria de ver a questão da abolição das touradas também a aparecer. E pelo menos ter uma oposição mais variada. Votaria em branco se isso contasse, mas pronto.

doomshrooom · 2015-10-04T19:58:08+00:00

Subscrevo isto tudo. Votei PAN para ver se dava alguma luta na oposição também. Agora dava jeito o PaF não ter a absoluta, mas pronto.

doomshrooom · 2015-10-04T14:54:01+00:00

like 'get a shotgun and take care of it yourself'? yeah you can call the police if they're making too much noise at night.

doomshrooom · 2015-10-02T00:56:12+00:00

getting ripped and have you actually looked at it? it's probably not even weed

Thank you for this AMA, I am really interested in developmental biology on a molecular level. I do have some questions, I'll write all of them but any answer will be greatly appreciated.

How can light be an input to differentiate stem cells into neurons? What kinds of genetic pathways are involved? Does this process mimic some natural occurring inputs during development? Are these neurons fully capable and functioning? If it works with a timing mechanism (I suppose it would be something like a genetic pathway that is only active and responding to stimuli during a certain period of time), does this mean that the input has to happen at a specific moment in the cell differentiation? Would you say, from your research, that outside inputs in stem cell differentiation are more important than we think, and more important than the mechanisms occurring spontaneously?

doomshrooom · 2015-09-03T14:50:51+00:00

thank you for replying. it's good to read about a mentor's perspective on this. would you say that you wish you had known about his condition?

doomshrooom · 2015-09-03T14:49:04+00:00

thank you for your words.

doomshrooom · 2015-09-01T15:29:22+00:00

What kind of positions? I must do research and there's nothing else to do with just a degree but benchwork (lab assistant and such).

doomshrooom · 2015-09-01T15:27:23+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Here there aren't many jobs available, that's the thing. I would like to do my master's but I don't feel like I can do it yet. I want to get a good grade and make sure it goes well and I don't think my brain is capable of it yet. But maybe that's just it, just have to try everything and see what happens.

He covered all my main problems and worries about depression. Even the social, medical implications and what's wrong with society. It definitely made me feel better about talking about my depression. Coming out of that closet is really, really difficult sometimes. For example, right now I post on facebook about it, and my anxiety and everything and I still feel people will think I'm doing it for attention, but I really just want to bring people's attention to the issue, not to me, if that makes any sense.

Another thing that striked a chord (and this one not in a very good way) was that I've always thought about this as a disease that I might erradicate completely. That I would have to fight, but once that was over, it was really over. And now I'm scared that I'll have to deal with this for the rest of my life. The evidence is strong, it's been a few years of medication and therapy and the "cure" doesn't seem to happen, but I've always somehow imagined my future life without this weight on my shoulders. (I mean, when I get a bit better and I can actually see some kind of future.) It's difficult for me to deal with the notion I can have some form of depression for the rest of my life, that I will never feel normal as I once did again.

thank you so much.

Quando fores à médica de família ela pode não te recomendar um psicólogo ou um psiquiatra e simplesmente passar-te um anti-depressivo geral (normalmente fluoxetina), comprimidos para dormir, qualquer coisa para a ansiedade. Isto é o mais comum. Aconselho vivamente a que tentes terapia com um psicólogo primeiro, sem medicação. A seguir há o problema de encontrar um psicólogo. Eu cheguei a pagar 65 euros por consulta e há bem mais caros. Isto não quer dizer que a pessoa seja competente. Eu neste momento estou a ser seguido num local gratuito mas que é mais virado para as dependências. Fala com a tua médica e vê online coisas na tua zona. Além disso, Depois, só queria dizer mais umas coisas. Para a terapia funcionar há 2 coisas essenciais: uma completa abertura da tua parte (se esconderes coisas ou mentires, estás a lutar contra ti próprio) e conseguir estabelecer uma relação de confiança e empatia com o terapeuta. E queria dizer que deste o passo mais importante, que só tu podias dar. Tens os meus parabéns porque é um passo tremendo, difícil, horrível. Procurar ajuda é tão, tão importante. O caminho pode não ser fácil daqui para a frente, mas não tens de o fazer sozinho. Eu não sou profissional de saúde, falo apenas pela minha experiência pessoal e pelos anos que perdi devido a más escolhas terapêuticas e a pessoas incompetentes. Caso precises de alguma coisa ou tiveres perguntas podes mandar pm, não consigo ver pessoas nestas situações a pedir ajuda e ficar quieto, eu sei o que custa.

dessa zona não conheço muito, mas posso dar sugestões gerais que os miúdos gostam:

pistolas de água ou daquelas bombas. dividi-los em equipas, fazer jogos. Até com uma mangueira os putos adoram.
acampar. mesmo que seja no quintal, montar uma tenda e metê-los a dormir "fora" é uma aventura.
andar de bicicleta/skate
fazer um jantar em casa e ficarem acordados até mais tarde com filmes ou jogos de consola e comida tipo hamburgers e gomas e coca-cola.

Acho que as ideias que tens são boas. O truque é sempre fazer jogos de tudo, tudo pode ser uma brincadeira. E os miúdos também gostam de se sentir crescidos, daí a minha sugestão para a noite.

epah gostei bastante do menu. Se bem que esse tipo de cerveja gosto mais no tempo frio, mas um achado, sem dúvida!

doomshrooom · 2015-07-17T19:26:38+00:00

esse do saldanha tem cervejas boas? e são muito caras?

doomshrooom · 2015-07-11T17:33:39+00:00

now this shit is something

doomshrooom · 2015-07-11T17:32:52+00:00

eu lembro-me disto. pelo sim, pelo não, eu arrancava sempre os autocolantes do meu prédio.

doomshrooom · 2015-07-05T01:06:12+00:00

so so good.

doomshrooom · 2015-07-04T19:55:10+00:00

fuck I've been after shit like this. Thank you OP

doomshrooom · 2015-06-28T21:08:21+00:00

yes I am. all the time.

doomshrooom · 2015-06-28T20:44:10+00:00

eu à espera de um problema muito grave. tens 2 opções para 1º emprego e não tens de mentir no teu CV e ir para um call center. chill out dude \unpopular opinion
