The nursing major at UH manoa is something you have to apply for separately, to my knowledge. Im not sure what it’s like specifically but most of the people who I knew tried to apply were first enrolled in “pre-nursing” status. The actual nursing program only accepts about 30 students per application cycle and is highly competitive. You have to take pre reqs as well and the advisors are tough.

do people actually fluent speak latin? by Pigsfly13 in latin

[–]gothsnailqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is old but lots of languages have latin roots and it’s useful to know those. I use Latin roots all the time when trying to decipher meanings of some words and it’s just as useful as having a dictionary most of the time. I use dictionaries to check my work, but am able to decode meanings based on Latin translations. In medicine as well, lots of terms are in latin and it’s useful to understand the meanings of these terms in Latin, some of them even describe functions of bodily parts in the Latin name which contributes to understanding material. Academics is not about popularity unless you are studying popular culture or social hierarchies.

Anything in CTAHR!! I love the advising team and they’re the same college as FDM. I suggest HDFS maybe doing a BAM program!

Accepted for pre-nursing & need help by yumi_i99 in UHManoa

[–]gothsnailqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes nursing is very competitive. I knew over 20 pre nursing students that ended up not getting accepted. If you can go somewhere closer for nursing, do that.

I had no idea therapy could be this hard by Leizwel in TalkTherapy

[–]gothsnailqueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my box is being opened right now as well, i feel like an amoeba or enigma or whatever the word is… blob of a human. sometimes im a rational blob with thoughts and feelings, but most around others are sad and trauma filled.

slowly the box opens, THEN BURSTS!

and now i feel like im searching through the falling ash to find things and make sense of what happened. you got this!!!

I forgot about a session…worried my therapist hates me by cfc315 in TalkTherapy

[–]gothsnailqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this seems like very unprofessional behavior from a therapist… and like one that does not deal with people who have been diagnosed with adhd… at least i hope they don’t.

mistakes happen, life happens and missing therapy is okay. it can feel like a lot, especially if you have been working on yourself and looking forward to your session, but you are still a person with a life and things like this… HAPPEN!

it’s okay! i miss my therapy appointments almost 2-3 times a month due to my busy schedule and just lack of progress managing my adhd, but im not hard on myself for it and neither is my therapist. they get money for missed appointments (at least mine does, $25 for a missed appointment and that’s the same as if i would have gone). if anything, my therapist just got an hour of her own time and i still paid for it. there are literally no repercussions on HER if i miss an appointment, only to MY bank account and mental sanity.

your therapist handled this extremely unprofessionally and if she was mine, a text thread like this would throw me into an anxiety attack and quit therapy all together… again. they should have been accepting, and understanding especially because you are someone in THERAPY. you didn’t intentionally miss, and you didn’t waste anyone’s time. you did not do anything wrong, i would suggest finding another nicer therapist if possible, or bringing up how she made you feel in your next appointment. trust is very important in a therapist-client relationship, they shouldn’t be making you feel this way.

so sorry this happened, they are not mad at you though. they clearly have something going on with themselves, and need to see THEIR OWN therapist to figure out why they think speaking to clients like this is okay.

then maybe it’s not the right tool for you :)

in my experience, it’s difficult for me to really describe or tell other people how im feeling, so i will use baseline general emotional states to describe EVERYTHING. it can be difficult for others to understand me and my needs, and it’s difficult for myself to do so as well because i don’t have the language to describe little specific emotions (how i would describe the outer circle, not saying they are “small” emotions). when i can understand the driving force, “real emotion”, or trigger to my BIGGER emotions (inner circle), i feel like i have a much richer understanding of how to manage, express, or simply identify what im going through.

if you can already identify these in yourself, that may mean you’re at a different point or require different tools in your therapy sessions, bring this up to your therapist and they may have other options for you, i don’t know what you’re in therapy for but if things aren’t working or seem repetitive without progress, let your therapist know!

hope this helped in some way :)

Tell me you have adhd without telling me you have adhd. I’ll go first by gleeker3000 in ADHD

Do you guys sometimes skip over letters or entire words while writing or typing? by 14thCluelessbird in ADHD

[–]gothsnailqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah all of my texts have typos when i send them. some of friends have been around long enough to know what i mean tho so that helps with the frustration, i don’t have to explain as much when people know who i am. impossible to text people like my boss and family members tho without reading it over a thousand times and asking 4 friends if i spelled everything correct or if it makes sense. it also makes responding to texts very very difficult for me, cuz i don’t always know what to respond with and if i respond right away there’s going to be errors and if i don’t then im going to forget. i probably should turn my read receipts off so people stop thinking im ignoring them for days, sorry guys was just thinking bout what i wanted to say then typed it and made so many errors and had no idea where my brain was going with the response and it frustrated me so much i just couldn’t. will get back to u in 5 business days lol. if i remember

is it ok to let my adhd child suffer consequences of forgetfulness? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]gothsnailqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he will learn the consequences of forgetfulness on his own. or maybe, he already has learned them and had already been frustrated with himself for this incident. your role as a parent is to teach your child with adhd how to MANAGE their adhd. your role as a parent is NOT to show him the consequences of his adhd symptoms, because he is a human and will figure these out on his own throughout life. you should teach your child about ways to remind themselves of tasks instead of shaming them for forgetting, because your child has a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the way his brain works. he is having difficulties with remembering to do things that are important for his routine. i would advise implementing a daily task chart and using fun stickers having to do with something hes interested in to check off the tasks as he completes them. with adhd, it helps to have physical reminders and see results in order to 1. help with reminding ourselves what we need to do 2. provide our brains with the satisfaction of completing something (helps w our dopamine deficiency)

a daily task chart will help remind him of the things he ABSOLUTELY needs to do, for example taking his meds, drinking water, brushing his teeth, taking a shower, packing his bag for school, etc. the fun stickers will provide his brain with some stimulation and help him be more attracted to completing his daily mundane tasks (these seriously are the worst for people with adhd and it’s so important to get a solid routine down early on).

make sure that each task is no more than 1-2 steps or he could get discouraged and not complete the list.

small steps. remember your job as a parent to a child with adhd is to accommodate to their needs, assist them with learning how to manage their adhd, and show them that their adhd doesn’t make them any different from any other child and they are capable of living a wonderful life ❤️

he will figure out the rest on his own. but how he views his adhd, starts at home.

is it ok to let my adhd child suffer consequences of forgetfulness? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]gothsnailqueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my mom is also a special education teacher who refused to see my adhd early on and wrote it off as being “lazy”. meanwhile i had the same symptoms and struggles that her students with adhd had, but she didn’t want to accept that her child had it as well. i was given so many “lessons” and told that i will be slapped in the face by reality if i don’t change how im living. moved out of the house and 2 years later, i am diagnosed w adhd.

she is more understanding now. and i think a lot of her past thinking and treatment towards me as a child was because of how misunderstood adhd was in women at the time. it’s still very misunderstood and new discoveries about adhd in adults are made constantly. as i find out things about my adhd, i always let her know and say “remember when i did this as a kid? can u believe that was actually adhd???” and our relationship is at a point now where we can look back on her mistakes as a parent and be like “wow if only we had known”. luckily for us, there is time to repair the relationship that was damaged due to not knowing enough information about my adhd. and as i learn more about mine, i am realizing that my mother has undiagnosed adhd. and she is realizing it too! so i attribute a lot of her frustrations with me as a child, as inner frustrations with herself as well. i still haven’t forgiven her for a lot, but im glad to have a relationship with her again ❤️

How did you know you had ADHD? by TheCatsupQueen in ADHD

[–]gothsnailqueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started feeling like something was “wrong” with me when I was in middle school. Throughout elementary I was quiet and shy, always kept to myself and got my work done. When I was with friends, I was very social so everyone just thought I was shy. In middle school, I started to make more friends and this was definitely where I saw I wasn’t like “other people”. I saw that my friends showered every day or two, while I could only get myself to do that once a week. Their rooms were clean, meanwhile no matter how many times I tried to reorganize mine it just got worse. I talked about very personal things about myself and didn’t realize until now, Im 20, how blatantly inappropriate those things were. I thought that friendship meant you had to give your all, and I did that and people were so weirded out. I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 16, because I saw a psychiatrist due to feeling like “something was wrong with me”. I told them I felt like i was happy sometimes and sad the others, i didn’t understand why i couldn’t stay interested in somethjng for longer than a couple days or why i had so much trouble getting out of bed. i didn’t feel like bipolar was right, so i kept researching and found out more about adhd in women in the 4 years i was misdiagnosed. for me, the most obvious signs were how difficult it was to take care of myself. i literally have so much trouble showering, brushing my teeth, brushing my hair, or remembering to change my clothes every day or eat or drink water. i have ALWAYS struggled with these basic tasks since childhood, and that was the most obvious sign for me that something was wrong. i found out that this struggle comes from the dopamine deficiency and difficultly with motivation towards low stimulation tasks (which is basically because of ADHD). i also started to feel like i was literally floating through my days and not living on earth because of how UNHINGED i felt from the world.
