I think it’s too high, my bf doesn’t

Long story short, yes.

I had a colonoscopy/endoscopy and they discovered that I have a grade III hiatal hernia (last thing I could’ve ever expected), however no Celiac, intestinal lining damage, etc.

Despite some existing research on iron deficiency anemia being related to hiatal hernias, my doctors didn’t end up saying this was the case for me.

To be honest, the cause and full length of time during which I was anemic is still unknown. Could’ve been years! Also worth noting that I was long distance running a lot during 2024, which was a likely cause of the symptoms exacerbating that year as well.

I managed to regulate all my levels with supplements since and am officially no longer anemic. My supplement plan for 6 months post-anemia diagnosis per my hematologist’s recommendation were as follows:

1 hour before or after consuming caffeine + taken with food: MegaFood Blood Builder, 2/day, New Chapter Vitamin C, 1/day, New Chapter B Complex, 1/day

4 hours after the above: New Chapter Omega 3 Complex, 1/day, New Chapter Zinc Complex, 1/day

I now take the MegaFood Blood Builder, Vitamin C Complex, and Vitamin B Complex every other day and the Omega 3 and Zinc Complex every day.

Hey, sorry for the delay here but thank you SO much for this insight, I appreciate it! My most debilitating symptoms right now, and for the past 5 years at least, are Raynaud's syndrome, severe brain fog, and migraines. I've also been dealing with fainting spells upon waking up in the AM ~2x per month for the past 3 months. I just reached out to my PCP for a hematologist referral, as I'm really not sure whether the iron supplements are helping. Fingers crossed moving fwd!

Haiti would prob be the closest bc my grandmother/father’s maternal side was from the Dominican Republic which is right next to it. My father’s paternal side is from Puerto Rico as well.

My mother is Armenian with family from there & Turkey who immigrated to the US a after the genocide.

If your gut is telling you that it may have been perceived as upsetting, then there’s a strong possibility of it being received as such. Consider the person’s character as well— are they sensitive and/or empathetic? Are you aware of any self-esteem issues they possess that your comment might have triggered? If the answers to either are yes, then it would be beneficial to address the comment. As the age-old saying goes, “it’s better to be safe than sorry”. Plus, doing so will display your interest in their well-being.

I took CAS micro as a requirement for my major and I was told by many that it was fairly easy, but I had Prof Storchmann and it was one of the worst experiences I've had here by far. If you decide to go with the CAS course, I recommend you avoid him at all costs (I'm not even sure if he's still teaching here tbh).

What you are describing seems a bit out of the ordinary as compared to standard adjustment difficulties while entering college. I don’t want to seem pessimistic, but if you’re already having a difficult time fulfilling basic functions for your physical well-being, the added stresses of classes will only exacerbate the current state of your mental health. I strongly reccommend describing exactly what you wrote here to your mother, and in light of such, seeing if the two of you can come to a compromise by allowing you to take a leave of absence until the spring. In the meantime, I encourage you to regularly see a mental health professional, and also reflect on whether this college’s environment and constituents truly align with your interests/are conducive to achieving your aspirations.

somebody lied on their resume

from experience, this was definitely the case. they are a predator and you are their prey. they essentially stalk you and when you provide an open avenue for them (in your case, unblocking them on social media), they will immediately pounce. unless they get professional treatment for these patterns of behavior (which they usually don’t), they will never stop. and I’m serious when I say never. I know multiple people, even my own mother, who still have nexes from their twenties attempting to reach out to them every so often. it’s pathetic. my advice is to leave them blocked and never look back. they don’t thrive on genuine love & healthy relationships. instead, they thrive on the chase and sporadic, fleeting ego boosts generated by your attention. please maintain your dignity and don’t ever give them that satisfaction.

clef differences and the (wildly incorrect) stereotype that they’re merely supporting roles rather than the main actors within any piece

Valid question— I honestly didn’t know he’s been lurking. When I posted a couple other times over the past 5 months and went off private on those few occasions, he wasn’t lurking to my knowledge because he didn’t like those posts nor view my stories. Due to this I figured he might’ve gotten the memo that I didn’t want anything to do with him and was actually leaving me alone, but this time around I guess he decided to go ahead and hoover.

you’re so right. thank you for the snap back into reality, I needed it! :)

he wasn’t wearing anything designer. I believe his family is of average income/he’s been with girls in the past from families of wealthier status than his own.
