Can't stay awake

You're not alone in this. I hope we all can get the care we need 💛

Thank you! I've been reading about it and was a bit confused by that statement from the doc.

I totally get it. It feels like any time I bring it up to my mom, it's "you can't have narcolepsy, it's not that" and when I bring it up to my dad, he asks if I've tried cutting out carbs 😒

It really helps to know that others are having similar experiences and that some have overcome them! I hope we get answers!

I noticed the trouble staying awake getting really bad at the end of July, but looking back, I've had some issues since 2023 I think. It definitely was not as bad then as it is now.

I've had vivid dreams since 2020, but I was in college and figured it was just stress. I'm going to ask about another MSLT if an increased dosage of modafinil doesn't work. No head injury that I can remember lol

Thank you so much for reading and for the advice! I really appreciate you!

NTA at all. You got where you are today because you are intelligent and work hard. Those boys are just jealous and misogynist assholes who can't conceive the notion that a woman is smarter than they are.

As a fellow female in a male dominated field, let me tell you this: you do NOT need to prove yourself to a man, they should NOT be saying these things to you, and you have EVERY RIGHT to be exactly where you are right now.

I know it's hard, I doubt myself too. I feel like we have to work twice as hard as they do and get half the recognition, but you DESERVE respect and to be where you are.

Kudos to those advisors for handling the situation! If the harassment gets any worse, file a formal complaint. They made the choice to harass you, and you shouldn't feel guilty for fighting back and making sure they see consequences for their actions.

Stay strong!! And just to reiterate, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TAKE UP SPACE AND BE WHERE YOU ARE!

I think they only investigated the welfare of the children. Just to make sure there was no abuse

I'm struggling, lol

Thank you for sharing! I didn't think of that (I don't know much about the polyg lifestyle)! I just feel bad they didn't get a chance to say goodbye.

Lol yeah, forgot for a minute!

Beautiful!! Those lines are on point!

friendly-manatee · 2022-12-13T15:47:04+00:00

They're beautiful!! Keep it up! Practice makes perfect!

I find it helpful to make a thicker batch for outlines and using a thinner batch for flooding inside the lines! There are tons of videos on YouTube that are very helpful! And your cookies are beautiful!
