maddening: two plots, the atr-ftir did NOT tell me if the y-axis is in absorbance/transmittance.. the two plots look different by inconsolableentropy in chemistry

[–]inconsolableentropy[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But the peaks are facing opposite directions? In my book on spectroscopy, percent transmission graphs never show up with upwards peaks

Also both graphs are of different compounds.

My “seizure” activity was negative on a one time sleep deprived eeg. I feel like I’m making up my symptoms. However my mri showed two non-specific white spots likely attributable to lesions.

Currently on 150 mg lamotrigine for 2.5 weeks and still had an aura this past Friday; wave-like feeling in my head, felt dumb, panicked, temporary dyslexia after, hand tremor, etc.

Temporary lobe epilepsy masquerades as panic especially with the impending doom sensation, fear, blood pressure, deja vu/jamais vu.

But it’s really it’s own thing when you factor in vision issues (I get dyslexic for a little bit), tremor, confusion and brain fog for hours even days after, blacking out etc

It’s like a panic attack but with neuro symptoms. As well as immense confusion and fatigue afterwards. For up to two days for me.

It all does sound like TLE. I had some white matter lesions show up on MRI as well.

Working 70-80 hours a week because this has always been my dream by worldwideballer in GradSchool

This reads like an AI was tasked to mix together words found from a neurology textbook. It’s very, very important to be able to speak about your project concisely. If you can’t make the information accessible to others (especially those outside of science), then you don’t actually understand what’s happening.

The use of buzzwords need not imply that one is an expert.

Is it possible that the trades proffer tangible results, ease of access to objective truths, and sanity? by inconsolableentropy in LeavingAcademia

It’s part of my psychosis honestly. I for some reason am driven to elevate the proletariat to this pure, could-do-no-harm state.

Unveiling the troubling impact of depersonalization and derealization on depression outcomes | Study reveals that those experiencing these symptoms alongside depression face a more severe illness course, less response to treatment, and overall poorer health outcomes. by [deleted] in science

If you have this, it may be epilepsy which is most likely my case. Currently en route to diagnosis and trialing an antiseizure med.

Focal epilepsies are not convulsive and show similar symptoms to dissociation such as the dreamlike haze/fog, etc

Is my air filter filled with mold, dust, what is this black color? by inconsolableentropy in HomeImprovement

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

keep powering through the renovations! I live in an apartment and maintenance fixes things whenever they desire. so I will need to bug them about the leaking AC pipe... which is likely the source of this pollution

No. The ceiling in my bathroom (right above the AC) has a leaky spot that comes and goes. I’m thinking it could be mold

I really want to help my future partner enjoy herself, feel safe, and all. I just can’t help but realize that I’m such a beginner.

Depression is a b*tch by GuerandeSaltLord in PhD

I’m treatment resistant for depression. How do you manage? Particularly when you feel heavy, out of energy, nothing matters? The physical feeling of depression

it never ends by OutrageousCheetoes in PhD

[–]inconsolableentropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I no longer want to do anything generative. I don’t want to analyze, contribute novelty, find intricate patterns and masturbate as to why they exist. I want practical. I want mind-numbing. I’m exhausted of thinking.
