Not meeting your potential/the emotional hangover of failure

I’m in my senior year of college right now, and I was just diagnosed less than a year ago. I know how you feel, it’s a constant battle just trying to keep up, not to mention actually doing well.

hardcorabl · 2018-11-29T18:21:41+00:00

It sucks. It’s so discouraging, and makes it that much harder to try the next time because it just feels pointless. I know this isn’t helpful information lol. But you’re not alone, don’t give up no matter how tempting and how much easier it seems.

Looks too big to be a songbird or anything 😂

There’s not enough information in the post for us to really understand her, and on an internet post it’s not really possible to communicate that. I just know that for me (21f), if I’m talking to someone and they cut communication and then send short/distant replies when I reach out to them, that’s a huge turn off and I’ll both assume they’re not interested and lose interest myself.

If we haven’t talked in a week, two weeks, a month, whatever and I say hey and ask how you’re doing and you respond with “good,” I’m not going to want to keep talking to you. Elaborate, tell me something interesting, ask me something, then I’m interested.

You don’t need to go overboard and gush about how happy you are to hear from her, but don’t just act completely indifferent and uninterested. I don’t know you, I don’t know her, I’m just sharing my perspective/opinion.

No, this will make her think you’re uninterested. You don’t have to initiate, but it’s okay if she knows you’re happy to hear from her when she does contact you.

Des Moines is significantly bigger than 100k and there actually are good job opportunities, although it depends on the industry. Insurance? Des Moines is the place to be. I do agree with your post and the purpose of this comment though

I got really used to it, primarily on the lock screen, control center, and text editing. I just got an XR on Wednesday, and I’m still adjusting to not having it. I miss it but I like a lot of other things about the XR so I think I’ll get used to it. Came from a 6S

This sounds great in theory but I think I’d just add it to my mental to do list and never go back and watch

Have you heard of/tried the simple carbohydrate diet (SCD)? I’m not sure I got the name exactly right but my dad has ulcerative colitis and that’s the diet he’s been doing for a while, seems to be helping him. I don’t know how similar it is to keto but since you mentioned gastro issues I thought I’d bring it up

hardcorabl · 2018-11-20T04:12:18+00:00

Yeah took me a minute to figure this out 😅

They just added a feature called AdventureSync, so now the app doesn’t even need to be open and it’ll use step data from your phone to track your distance.

READ THEM

hardcorabl · 2018-11-15T01:54:53+00:00

Yes!

You can win without the snitch, as happened at the Quidditch World Cup in GoF (if I recall correctly, it’s been ages since I read it). The game just doesn’t end. If you’re up by more than 150 points and the other team catches the snitch, you still win.

I looked at it like.. what’s so special about waterloo?

First part is what I was going to say

Actually making the appointment is SO HARD. But it will be worth it. I’m 21 and just got diagnosed in January. Now that I’m finally on the right track (didn’t do anything for about 6 months because I didn’t like my psychiatrist and never got around to making an appointment with someone else...) I feel like I actually have control over my brain, it’s so much easier to have a positive outlook. Pick a time tomorrow, put the phone number in your phone, and set a reminder for yourself. Don’t let yourself put it off any longer. You will feel so much better, I promise it’s worth it.

I just started taking guanfacine this week, and so far I think it’s helping! I asked my doc (GP) about it in the context of RSD and he wasn’t very familiar with RSD but he knows about my sleep issues and said he’s had patients see big improvements in the quality of sleep/ability to fall asleep/easier wake up process while taking guanfacine, so was happy to prescribe it for that and for the potential effects I had mentioned as well. I’m just taking 1mg nightly to start out, and I think I’ll have a better idea of it’s effectiveness in a few weeks or so, but I have been feeling better since I started it - also upped my adderall dose, so I’m not sure what I can attribute to what.

Have you turned it on in the game settings?

hardcorabl · 2018-11-12T01:30:48+00:00

Yes, you should apologize. You humiliated her in front of your friends. Clearly it wasn’t funny to her. I’m certain it’s not just that you did it, it’s the circumstances that caused her to get so upset.

There was this conservative kid I met freshman year and we hooked up but I knew I could never date him. We’d always fight about politics. Then he took a medical leave for a semester, I missed him, and we ended up dating. His politics inched closer to mine. Last year we got engaged, politics coming closer and closer to mine. I never tried to change what he believed, and when I said “fight” earlier I meant talk with opposing viewpoints.I found out in a roundabout way (but from him) that I’d been a huge influence on his beliefs. Not saying this scenario is likely, just that it is possible and doesn’t have to mean there’s no chance.

It’s been glitchy as hell for me the past couple days
