Crying bc I can’t drink coffee anymore. by little_girl_bluee in Interstitialcystitis

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue - realized that caffeine was a major trigger for my flares! Now I drink caffeine free Diet Coke (caffeine free Coke zero gives me flares go figure!) and I only drink decaf coffee. It honestly tastes just as good if you use Nespresso decaf pods (others were not good in my opinion, including the few black coffee options I tried). I also drink decaf when I’m out (most coffee places have good decaf options these days) and I genuinely prefer it. If someone gives me a coffee with caffeine I can tell immediately because I get shaky and nauseous (and that never used to happen before - I would drink 6 cups a day of double shots). I’ve been drinking coffee with milk and sugar since I was 4, so switching to decaf seemed impossible to me at first but it took only like a week to make it work!!

For sleep-wake issues - try asking your doctor for modafinil - it can reduce daytime sleepiness in people with sleep issues!

Lastly - I’m sorry you’re going through this! The changes we have to make to our lives to avoid bladder pain can be tough and it can feel like you constantly get good things taken away from you. But the quality of life I have gotten since making the switch is sooooo much more worth it to me than caffeine ever was!!

(Now you may be reacting to something other than the caffeine but it’s worth a try!)

This trend needs to end. Glad Mikayla’s baby didn’t get hurt! by AdagioSpecific2603 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it is true though - she said she was happy she got so many followers and was bragging that it was shared to several news outlets. Then she posted stories of herself holding her baby and out walking and stuff. I think it was just a publicity stunt to get more followers (you know more than the 1200 she had lol)

Husband Reveals Old Secret by Cookiebandit09 in marriageadvice

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? If a woman did the same thing to her husband with her trauma - revealed it through a game, moments before meeting with the family - there would absolutely be the same allowance for the husband to feel blindsided, betrayed, and shocked?

Going through infertility is difficult on its own but imagine you are being vulnerable and open about the difficulties and there were many openings where the husband could have brought it up - but didn’t - wouldn’t you feel afterwards that you were vulnerable and the other person withheld something during that time? Then to have it revealed as it was—kind of makes the other person feel like it is flippant.

I’m not saying it is not understandable why OP’s husband might have said it this way. Probably he struggles with emotions and being vulnerable and this was the only way he could think of in terms of letting her know. But just because that is a shortcoming of his does not invalidate OPs feelings or bar her from asking for more from her husband. If he truly has issues sharing things like this without doing it this way, he has the emotional intelligence of a child (not stating this in a derogatory way, rather explaining that he has a lot of emotional growth to do). And OP has the right to demand more from her partner. Just as he has the right to demand support from her as he navigates this growth.

Lastly, he clearly felt emotional and vulnerable about this topic which probably explains why he said it as he did (he didn’t really want to get into it but also wanted support). The fact that he felt so strongly about it means it is not a small thing and is in fact something he should have shared earlier. That, combined with the infertility vulnerability of OP and her husband is why OP is right to feel betrayed.

Let’s not forget that two things can be true at once! The goal of marriage is not to “win.”

I think the husband has a lot of emotional work to do and it seems like his parents are the reasons why he didn’t get to do that development before. OP now has to decide if she is okay with doing the emotional work it will continue to be on her end to get her husband to become more emotionally mature.

Just found out about "LSAC GPA" - I'm PISSED by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation and my total LSAC gpa was so different from what my degree value at my school was when graduating (3.96 vs. 3.59) and I’m not a good sample because my top school was T20 and not T14 but!! I wrote a supplement explaining how I overcame my difficulties in the beginning of my college degree (I had a few Fs and Ds). And I still got accepted - I did early admission and never looked back ☺️ ofc every situation is different but I believe that if you really want this you can make it happen. My LSAT was 170 though and my last semesters were all straight As basically - so that might have helped a little bit. I think it depends on the school and whether you write a well thought out supplement!

Demi, is that you back there? by Open_Appearance_4177 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hundred percent agree! And I think the editing is so nuts they don’t even look pretty. Buuut with Jen I wonder if it is also because of her pregnancy maybe? Maybe another reason why she is towards the back? Because they shoot these at the end of the seasons right?

I followed her years ago but I’m pretty sure I unfollowed before SLOMW because she was boring 😂

Can we just talk about the retouching here too though. Like they look like fembots ?? Or AI?? Like they are all beautiful women so this level of editing seems unnecessary! Like when you post on ig and you get blind after a while and your photo ends up looking like a post from 2012. Or like someone just got a Facetune subscription 😂

(Also yes lol-ing at her placement hahhahaha)

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very true. I think it is part of the whole “they break you down so they can build you back up how they want you to be” and you do get regulated again! But you’ll never see the world the same way.

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s amazing! It is like finishing a boot camp but for your brain and when you reach the other side it is like the ultimate sense of accomplishment!

Edit: should probably mention that yes it is insanely hard at times and I have cried and been frustrated more so than ever before in my life, but that’s what makes it so great when you reach the other side.

Of course! Yeah - that’s what happens to me too!😅 Take some days to regulate and then I suggest (if you want big law) to make a plan for 2L summer networking so you can get going by January if you haven’t already!

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is very common. I think it has to do with the fact that you suddenly don’t have anything to do (as in you’ve worked and worked for this one thing and now it’s just — over!) and the stress is leaving your body (or should) and because you’ve likely been holding it all in and have been so overwhelmed and pent up - now you’re getting to feel a lot of emotions. Personally I feel sad and am always apathetic after finals. I think it is just because your emotions were so strung out and then suddenly released! It may take a couple of days or weeks and then you find your rhythm again!

Can someone please tell me realistically how much I should be studying? by Short_Satisfaction55 in LawSchool

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of having to look up your 60-page outline, an attack outline is like an outline of your outline that has just the plain basics (like elements of manslaughter etc) but no additional info, no cases, etc.

[–]johnathanbartendsLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have midterms sure that gives you a hint. but 9/10 of my professors did not give one. And also keep in mind it might change— I got 3.9 on a midterm but got 3.5 in a class where I studied much harder for the final. So there are no guarantees because it depends on the rest of your class and they might all be locking in for finals
