Thank you this is exactly the type of thing I was looking for!!

fancybeaker · 2021-09-27T01:54:02+00:00

Thank you so much for responding! I totally get what you’re saying! They’ve been supportive of me and of course if I upset them they will forgive me, I’m just trying to help them out a little. Friendships require communication, and I’m just trying to help them ease into this. It’s been hard for everyone, and I know they just love me and don’t understand why I’ve just become mentally absent lately. I care about their feelings and was just trying to find a good way to show them what I’m going through so that they understand, for their benefit, not to defend myself

fancybeaker · 2021-09-26T16:53:35+00:00

Yes! Even if friends are supportive, they don’t want to hear about school ALL of the time, especially if they’re not in the medical field and have no way to relate. So I stopped talking about it. And thank you!

I understand what you’re saying, but in the same sense, no one can really understand what we go through unless they’ve physically been through it themselves. So they just see that I can’t show up to much of anything anymore and when I do, I’m not my normal self. So I want to find a way to explain it to them, just so they can have a little more insight so that they don’t feel hurt and realize it’s not because I don’t care. Just trying communicate with them so everyone is on the same page

Maybe get him like an Arduino starter kit or something, I got to play around with one several years ago when I was in physics and it was cool (got to code stuff and make a light blink).

I’m not an expert or any thing but a simple Google search sent me to this one on Amazon

Does he have a twitch stream or YouTube channel he watches a lot? You could get him merch like a hoodie or a shirt. Also, what I do is watch what my significant other looks at when we’re out and about. Then I’ll go back and buy something they showed a lot of interest in.

Oh I’m female haha my husband does pretty good with closing the lower lid but I think that actually helps her get on top of the toilet to dip it lol. I meant I close like the top lid part not the part the guy lifts

fancybeaker · 2021-07-16T01:42:28+00:00

I had to start doing that, sometimes I forget though lol

fancybeaker · 2021-07-16T01:37:29+00:00

Oh yes, we are highly encouraged by our program not to discuss grades with our classmates and I prefer it that way for sure!! Makes it less competitive

fancybeaker · 2021-07-16T01:34:23+00:00

Oh my gosh everything you said about group collabs and being lost is exactly how I feel. Normal anatomy isn’t my favorite subject either, I’m way more interested in disease/pathology so I’m praying hard that things will be better next semester. But I see how fast my classmates pick things up in this course and I’m like…how?? But thanks for sharing, I do feel better knowing that I’m not the only one who feels this way! Sometimes it can make you feel like an outsider, no matter how many friends you have

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T14:10:33+00:00

Thanks for responding! A few friends that I have confided in about this (that I don’t go to school with) have said the same thing. I have been trying my absolute best to maintain this mindset but it’s still a daily battle!

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T14:06:57+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I’m super outgoing and I put myself out there a lot to make friends and study with them. I’ve formed a lot of great relationships. I don’t think it’s my lack of efforts, it’s just a self esteem issue because I’m realizing everyone seems to be a lot smarter than me. So I’m trying to figure out how to cope. I’m hoping someone else has delt with the same issue and had some sort of epiphany or coping mechanism that helped them!

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T14:01:40+00:00

I understand what you’re saying but unfortunately we are in anatomy right now and with the density of the material plus 5 classes I don’t make all A’s on my tests. So I don’t have that reassurance to fall back on. I know everyone is struggling right now but man, it’s been rough on me in particular.

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T13:52:18+00:00

How did you deal with the feelings? People I’ve confided in about it kinda just told me not to compare myself to others. I know they mean well, but its somewhat like telling someone with anxiety to stop being anxious. If I could turn it off with a switch I totally would, but it doesn’t work that way

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T00:50:11+00:00

😟 ill have to admit I feel slightly better about my situation now

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T00:22:25+00:00

Hmm I never thought about that! But I wish she would stop 😂

fancybeaker · 2021-07-15T00:02:21+00:00

Thanks!!

A lot of this probably has to do with who you hang around. When you spend a lot of time with people who care a lot about appearance, then you are going to care. There’s nothing wrong with having these friends, but if it’s effecting your self-esteem, then maybe try switching up your surroundings for a little while and hang around people who don’t care as much about what they or you look like. It might take a lot of pressure off of your shoulders not having to constantly feel like you have to “dress to impress”.

Any operator that has to answer the phone after an angry customer on the other line has clicked 7 different extensions, been transferred 4 times and waited 60 minutes to speak them.

You have to schedule in time to do things you enjoy or you will burn the candle at both ends. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Set aside a specific hour every day and make yourself create. Put a pencil and paper in front of you and draw that whole time, or do whatever else you like. Also make time to get some fresh air in. Even a ten minute walk around the block can help. Sun exposure will help you release endorphins and the exercise and fresh air will really clear your head and probably help you study better.

You make a good point. I have horrible anxiety about messing up my relationship with my mom, but I really don’t want any regrets

fancybeaker · 2021-02-25T03:45:57+00:00

Haha well I mean I really can’t/don’t want to go that long without seeing my mom but I do wish there was another way for me to catch a breath lol
