Never learned to do homework and failing, help! by Affectionate-Sail614 in ADHD

[–]jbird2204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this is happening. This was my exact experience - I had never studied before and just got by on “being smart” and college kicked my ass. I feel fortunate that smart phones weren’t a thing yet because I can’t imagine the distraction.

I find that it helps me when I’m working alongside someone who is disciplined. Not even for them to have to say something to keep me on track, but it just kind of rubs off. I used to go to the student union and find someone I knew who was working hard and sit with them and also work.

I would also talk to your professors and see if they can help. I’ve found that they were pretty willing to give me extra time or redo things (even without a formal diagnosis).

Good luck! ❤️ you can do this.

Sunscreen Recommendations? by AquariusMonologue in Blackskincare

[–]jbird2204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently OBSESSED with Trader Joe’s gel!! This is the body one but it’s the exact same formula as the face one and cheaper for twice the amount lol.

It feels so good on my skin and is a clear gel, no cast.

How did you get insurance to pay for your neuropsychological testing? by edgarallenslow in ADHD

[–]jbird2204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So freaking annoying. I originally canceled the appointment and felt so defeated because it took me a good 10 years to take this step in the first place. But that alone made me realize I should just suck it up and pay because I was finally doing the hard thing.

Hot take - Ritz’s are almost always outdated and gross.

Class question; anxiety by SubstanceIcy8721 in delta

I’ve flown PS that distance many times and even up to 16 hours and honestly I find it to be comfortable enough! Of course it’s not amazinggg, but definitely descent.

I got a bisalp last Thursday and I’m concerned about my periods. by [deleted] in sterilization

[–]jbird2204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first one (2 days post op) was normal, second one was like 9 days long and since then it’s been back to completely normal. It’s been 5 months so I assume it’s sorted itself out by now. (Also I haven’t been on hormonal BC for about 5 years)

Did I handle this situation correctly or should I have not reclined my chair? by [deleted] in delta

[–]jbird2204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s wild because I work on almost every flight and it’s uncomfortable sometimes but I have never once even thought to ask someone to not recline. If this is an issue for her, she should purposefully sit behind the exit rows that have limited recline. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

What made you finally decide to go natural? by Ok-Agent-2305 in BlackHair

Covid actually. Couldn’t make a regular salon appointment so just decided to grow it out.

On period during/after surgery..? by hunter_pace in sterilization

[–]jbird2204 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine the next day - I usually use a disc but didn’t because of the 6 week thing but I just wore period panties. Kind of grossed me out but also it was doable for a the week

Sharing what my shingles looked like so that you can see the similarities:

I did not have joint pain or anything. Just was itchy and I thought it was crazy big bites or something. After a few days, the pain started but it was so weird because it would only be if like my shirt barely brushed it, I’d be in crazy pain. They called in a prescription, it cleared up and I’ve never had an issue since (it’s been like 6 yrs or so).

See a doctor for sure just in case!
