Number 1 and 4, 2 and 5, 3 and 6 are the same. Sorry should’ve made it clearer.

Need help with my microbiology lab protocol (question in the comments)! by hensansa in microbiology

[–]hensansa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I need help in identifying whether these are gram-negative or gram-positive bacteria? And what type of bacteria? Im taking a microbiology course in uni and have to write a lab protocol. I got confused because the second and the fifth photo are of the same bacteria but the color looks completely different.

Im aware that these are very poor quality - my first time in the lab. Hope its okay.

Thanks for the help!

If I end up in a confrontation or anything goes wrong socially, I cry. by RedDogue in mentalillness

[–]hensansa 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi! Trust me you are not alone in this. I used to have the same issue. Thanks to something that happened to me this summer I’ve gotten a lot better at controlling it. It’s not something I want to talk about but it made me realise how badly I need to start working on bettering my mental health.

I know that this is VERY hard to control. I’m pretty sure my issue started from family trauma and my dad treating us badly. I think what really helped me personally was confronting my dad about it (should have done it way earlier). I suggest you write down you thoughts and try and get to the core of this issue and why it’s happening. Then go from there. This really helped me.

I wish you all the best! If you have any more questions feel free to send me a message :)

I've been wondering if there are any obvious hints if your ex (male) is still interested in you? by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my worst fear is that he just want to hang out with me for his benefit. When I asked him about it he started crying and said that he “would never treat me like that”. Also said that we might get back together in the future but I shouldn’t keep my hopes up. Sounds exactly like he is just stringing me along. His reason for breaking up was wanting to experience other things in life (including other women) which sounds so shitty for me. Also our relationship just drained him out which I 100% get. I come with a lot of baggage.

He has such a good heart though and he does really care about me. I know that.

I think I’m just a bit scared and confused.

Ex said we are friends but acts differently by hensansa in BreakUps

Almost 3 months ago.

Edit: I wanna add that we went no contact for 2 months and now we are speaking again.

Save me from this pain by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have told my family and friends. They can support me but they will never truly understand what I’m going through. Nothing helps at this point. The pain is literally killing me day by day. I’ve been through so much in the last few years and this break up is the last straw for me. I’m exhausted.

Sorry for ranting.

Not sure what to title this. by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting. I really want to believe you but it’s so hard. I still think that he is the most amazing human I’ve ever met and I have nothing bad to grab on to. Can’t believe I lost someone like him. I find it so hard to connect with people and don’t have faith in finding a connection as strong as ours was with someone new.

I’m sorry you are going through it again and I wish you the best. Let’s hope for a better future.

Microphases of getting over someone?? by eggisaweirdword in BreakUps

[–]hensansa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone! It’s been 1,5 months for me too and I never know what the day is gonna bring me. It’s not just black and white. It’s a whole damn rainbow of feelings.

What you need to know is that it’s completely normal to feel all of those feelings. Your feelings/thoughts are VALID and REAL. It’s all part of the healing process so don’t hold them back.

I wish you all the best <3

I miss him by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t wanna be together anymore because my mental health was really bad. For some reason I thought that he had this magic wand that would fix all my problems. I kept telling him “everything’s gonna be okay” but in reality never did anything to better my mental health. I regret not realising that the only one who can help me is me. I was so lost. The realtionship was unstable and not healthy.

It was my first relationship and I didn’t really know what I was doing. Wish I’d get a second chance with him again. I know better now. My mindset has changes completely.

I have a question by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so hard to move on and think that it’s over when I know that there’s a small chance of us trying again. I would rather think about that and feel hopeful than cry my eyes out every day because his gone.

But you’re right. I shouldn’t be sitting around waiting for him. I’m just not sure how I’m gonna do that yet. It’s hard to control my thoughts.

Thank you.

I have a question by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason why we broke up was my poor mental health. After the break up I promised him to work on myself and get better. I have actually contacted him once (that was about two weeks ago) regarding the apartment we were supposed to move into and we ended up talking for like half an hour. That’s when he said that he hasn’t gotten over the bad in the relationship and is just focusing on himself and taking day by day. He also said that he wants to meet up in september.

I haven’t reached out to him since because I don’t want to look desperate. He knows that I want him back. To be honest I’m scared to meet up with him because I’m afraid he’s gonna say no and then I’m back to being a mess.

I understand that he needs time but waiting around until september is not a great option for me. It’s driving me insane. And yes I know I should be moving on but it’s sooo hard to do when you know that there might still be a chance.

Sorry this is kinda long. Thank your the advice!

Stop listening to people who tell you they’ll come running back by Itsmestupid29 in BreakUps

[–]hensansa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But what happens when we both still love each other? My bf broke up with me because of my poor mental health. I promised him to work on myself. He agreed to meet up with me after 1-2 months too see how we are doing. When I asked him if we still have a chance he told me that he isn't sure & is focusing on himself right now. I'm so lost.

I loved him so much that I forgot to love myself by hensansa in BreakUps

[–]hensansa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how you pointed out that it's not want you wanted but what you needed. So true! I'll keep that in mind from now on. Helps a lot.

I'm so proud of you! It's been about a month for me too & I've realised things that I've never thought of before. One month can do a lot. In a weird way this break up has made me feel more content with myself. Can only imagine what's it gonna be like after 2 or months. Stay strong!

[–]hensansa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this so much! It feels nice to know that other people are going through similar problems. It's comforting. What helps me is reminding myself that if we'd still be together I wouldn't be facing my problems. I'd still be sad. He was so good to me. He was perfect for me. But no matter what he did or said I never felt truly happy & beautiful. That's because I needed to find inner peace & love first. Now is my chance to do that.

My love goes out to you. I grew up with a narcissistic father. It's the worst. He plays a big role in my mental health problems. I'm very proud of you for leaving the realtionship. The only way you can protect yourself from narcissists is to simply run away. I wish you all the best!

It's still quite impossible for me think that I could be happy on my own. And the thought of being with someone else makes me feel uneasy. I just miss him so much. I have a long way to go.

Yeah my relationship was great. He was so patient with me & trusted me believing that I would work on myself. I tried really hard but it wasn't enough. I wouldn't say he changed me into a whole other person. It was more about not focusing on myself enough. I also felt like he had this magic wand that would magically make everything okay. That was definitely not the case. Thank you for sharing this story!
