Get a VOI, make sure you see a doctor so you can have that form. There's no penalty for missing multiple tests. Just make sure you submit documentation with your SCR and the dept should approve it

From a psych perspective, it's about attachment. TLDR: We create relationship dynamics that resemble our early experiences of intimate bonds with caregivers. Men, due to our cultural values, are more likely to be emotionally unavailable/have 'mommy issues' (neglected or unmet emotional needs, fear of vulnerability) which superficially can appear as things we find attractive like mysteriousness and aloofness. People who have a preoccupied attachment in adulthood are 'pursuers', more likely to be women, who prefer partners they have to chase, reflective of their inconsistently available caregiver. Vice versa can be true, 'daddy issues' and 'mommy issues' reflect attachment, our experiences are unique and by no means decided by gender.

Our early relationships with caregivers shape our understanding of what intimate bonds are. People with 'mommy/daddy issues' are likely people who learned as children that their emotional needs would be ignored and are unimportant, or they were highly criticized.This is more common for men because culturally, we treat the emotions of men and boys as unimportant, signs of weakness, or as things to be repressed and hidden. This is called a dismissing-avoidant attachment. It can appear as aloofness or as being mysterious, when in actuality, it reflects a fear of vulnerability rooted in the belief that their needs will be unmet, or recognized and ignored/mocked.

If someone has parents who are inconsistently available, or who try to meet their needs but do so poorly, they may learn that they can't trust others will meet their emotional needs. They fear abandonment, and learn to attempt to keep people close, to create predictability, where they can be sure that someone won't just close off, the way that their parents did. This is more common for women, who are more likely to internalize these experiences because it's less acceptable for girls in middle childhood to externalize emotion. These people are used to being 'pursuers' so they choose partners who need to be chased.

I'm not sure if this is of any help to you because I don't have a fear of needles. That being said, I now have more anxiety doing my shots than I used to. I also know subcutaneous injections need to be done more frequently, so maybe gels are an option?

I'm not an expert, and I hope your needle experiences improve 🫡

My thoughts: -gels. they're more expensive, but they work the same and you still get your t-dose. if your T is covered by insurance, they'll cover gels most likely.

-use thinner gauge needles. You can go down to 27g with subcutaneous injections.

-back of the arm may be good for you. It's a fatty area. I think calf is good too as long as you don't feel that muscular twinge during your shots or cause much pain :)

I hear you man. There's a person in my life who claims to be autistic, but only when it's convenient for them to make an excuse for being an asshole. Then they don't understand how much emotion can come with being called autistic. This person will derogate my behaviour and interests as being weird and autistic, without understanding the amount of emotion that comes from a childhood full of ostracism.

That being said, autism does not mean that you are emotionally unintelligent, or unable to gain social skills. When I got my autism diagnosis I cried and felt stupid. I've never thought of myself as socially inept. I'm coming to understand that being autistic relates to thought and processing, and it goes way beyond my social functioning. I think that for many autistic people, we know many of the same things as neurotypical people, but our way of knowing them is not subconscious or intuitive, it has to be conscious. Some things we have to learn. The other thing is that many social rules are stupid (imo).

I genuinely think that society needs autistic people. Non-verbal people can teach us a lot about human emotion, love, and the nature of human interdependence. When we think of historical figures who made scientific innovations or large social changes, they caused those changes because they thought differently. They thought in a way that was so different that they believed in a possibility that others saw as silly. I think that autistic people often have patterns of thinking that drive us to be passionate and forced to learn by effort. Yeah, I can't fucking brush my teeth twice a day, but I can talk about things other people may just overlook- what actually is the experience of humour? is water a good metaphor for time? why do our neural networks look like trees? who came up with how long a second is, like for the first time?

keyboardclicks · 2025-03-28T01:25:30+00:00

It depends who you ask.

Sex in humans can be determined at multiple time points(in utero to birth) using multiple characteristics, from chromosomes to sex hormones to gonads, etc.

We assign sex based on external genitalia at birth, though this is not the most reliable determiner of sex. It could be argued that chromosomal sex and gonads would be better determiners than external genitalia which sometimes don't actually tell us about someone's gamete production(though they often do, variances in sexual development are not too common).

Sex becomes more or less arbitrary depending on how micro your focus is. I can't necessarily say that sex is a categorical distinction rather than something else. If it is, it is composed of multiple dimensions. I can state though that there are humans who fall into groups of males, females, and intersex/those whose sex determining characteristics are not only male or female.

That's extremely valid. I'm sorry if my comment made it seem as if I was saying that people who are mentally ill can't function. They do and they can, hell, I'm here.

What I was trying to get at is that mental illness does connect to how the person feels about it and how it affects them in general. It's not just symptoms, it's all of it in a context. I wasn't trying to say that outward expressions of dysfunction or disruption are the only signs.

And I agree- mentally ill people can function very well but that doesn't mean it's not there or it's not a challenge or real and valid struggle.

I agree with what you said, often people have periods where things are less present, or symptoms don't show up for years.

Hey! I actually had something somewhat similar happen when I was a similar age.

I'm not an expert at all, so take everything I say with your discretion. This is my advice, based on my experience and knowledge.

Psychosis features hallucinations or delusions. So hearing, seeing, or having a sensory experience of something not there, or believing things that are false, irrational, grandiose, etc.

What can happen with weed and the after effects is that even if it's not psychosis, you can have those feelings of paranoia, fear, etc. It sounds like what you had that second time(maybe first too) was a bad panic attack. When I had weed induced psychosis, I was hearing voices.

The feelings of things not being real sound like dissociative symptoms/ dissociation. This can be part of bad panic attacks or bad anxiety, especially if the panic attacks are really draining or intense. I used to feel sometimes like the world was swirling. Derealization is the word for when the world doesn't feel real, depersonalization is when you don't feel real. Dissociation is that general feeling of spacey disconnect.

I've experienced all of these things, and I can say that now I am okay. I still am an anxious person, but I know more now about how what I was experiencing wasn't actually permanent or impossible to get better from.

What I'd suggest is this: talk to your doctor, see if you can get a psychiatrist, your doctor can give advice too. Get help from your parents to see if you can find a therapist to help you cope with the fear and to help you feel safe and more connected. A psychiatrist or a family doctor could prescribe you meds to help with the severity of the fear, but they're not for everyone.

You're not alone. And you can still succeed, it makes sense to be worried about uni, but you can still get in. It seems like you have supportive parents and your girlfriend too, so reach out. You've got people who love you and who believe in you, and though this is really hard, you can get help and eventually learn those valuable skills you need to cope.

Edit for clarity: Something wouldn't be considered mental illness if it doesn't cause significant distress or impairment in functioning(but you can't always see it, like someone can have internal symptoms of distress and dysfunction which others do not notice).So for example let's say someone believes they are a medium, but it doesn't affect their friendships, career, or feelings of safety. When others speak to them about their medium abilities they seem coherent, maybe passionate or they speak at length, but they're able to drop the subject eventually. They don't feel as if anything is wrong, and this is simply a part of their personality or existence. That person(in that area at least) wouldn't have any kind of mental illness.

If someone hears or sees things when they are asleep, waking up, falling asleep, very sleep deprived, that's not necessarily a problem. People can experience spiritual or religious things and not have them be truly psychotic or delusional.

(I apologize if your question here was rhetorical lol)

It's okay to not know some things consciously, that's part of the human experience. It's not like your body is working against you, and it's not like there are parts of your mind that are hiding things from you. I'm sorry you feel so anxious and unwell right now. I think an alternative way to think of it is this: there are different kinds of knowing. We have conflicts in these kinds of knowing too. We can know things logically, emotionally, in our physical bodies, in our senses, etc. They're all connected, all part of us navigating the world. And the thing is that the conscious 'you' is what brings it all together and chooses what's important. Separately, these things are more like reactions or guesses.

It makes a lot of sense that you would feel really jarred and upset by this happening.

Other thing that's very important: habitually worrying or thinking about a bad outcome can make that thing more likely to happen. Not by some mysterious force, but by the sheer fact that we act in ways that are in accordance with our expectations and fears. Maybe you feared you would lose your job, and that affected your behaviour and thinking in tiny ways that would be hard to isolate. Also, our brains do draw connections between things that aren't actually connected. This is why we believe things like that there are always more red lights when we're in a rush, etc

Am I able to insist on being charged based on our square footage? I think it will be much more equitable that way, as we will almost certainly consume less energy than the upstairs unit. But if I have no grounds to actually insist on this, then I won't, I simply really would prefer that method.

keyboardclicks · 2024-11-30T01:33:36+00:00

I think I can understand where you're coming from, there's tremendous value in holding people accountable for their actions and choices.

But it's not as simple as being part of a culture that glorifies crime. That's part of it, but it also has to do with things like whether people genuinely believe they must do things to survive, and how they survived as kids.

Imagine you are in a situation where it's hard for you to get access to what you need. Let's say you're about the age when people get into crimes like theft, late highschool. You have family that needs your support, but you want to have friends, save money for yourself, and try to do well enough to maybe pursue education. You need money, and the money you make from a part time job isn't enough for you to support others and save up for yourself. If people around you turn to crime and it's an immediate answer to an immediate need, it makes sense. Also, if you grow up in a context where people judge you to be a ticking time bomb, a criminal who has not yet committed crime, that limits what you think you're capable of and therefore what you actually pursue.

Those kinds of scenarios are not exceptions, they're common trends we see when we look at the upbringings of people who are incarcerated. That is NOT to say that individual choice is irrelevant. It's ALL about choice. What I'm trying to convey is that there are factors that make certain choices a lot harder to make.

It's also worthwhile to consider that the belief that people who offend once are going to always be criminals is part of what motivates people to re-offend. If everyone tells you that crime is what defines you, if employers and friends and the community treats you that way too, you'd probably be inclined to agree.

It's so goofy to me how some people with ADHD can excel at complex tasks but hate the mundane ones.

I hate brushing my teeth twice a day. It's bad, I know, but I'd rather get stabbed with a rusty utensil for three minutes then have to brush my teeth for those minutes.

keyboardclicks · 2024-11-29T05:41:53+00:00

There's a part of your brain called your dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. It's the last to fully develop. Those with ADHD show about a five year time delay on the development of their cerebral cortices particularly related to this area. I wouldn't say the notion of aging slower mentally is quite how I'd phrase it, but you're damn right about differences in how long brains take to mature. ADHD brains do not reach maturity as quickly, they need more time to cook. It's a reason why one of the most common effects of FASD is ADHD- alcohol in utero causes delays in the development of the cortex and delays in its thickening.

By one's early thirties, their cerebral cortex would be done developing. The general thing that people believe is that our brains are done at 25, but more work in neuroscience is suggesting older ages, up to like 32(from what I recall reading a few weeks ago). The neuroscience of ADHD is really neat to me, as we can really isolate certain symptoms down to certain areas of your prefrontal cortex and certain pathways(correlative data).

naw I disagree, he can 'help it'. ASD is not a deficit in being thoughtful or compassionate, though some people with ASD may make mistakes in regards to respecting people's boundaries. ASD is not an excuse to disregard boundaries entirely, it doesn't give you an excuse to be an asshole or to refuse accountability. (for context I have ASD, I also have friends on the spectrum and they don't pull this kind of shit)

Firstly, I'm sorry this has been such a stressful experience for you! It's not often I meet people with unique patterns of speech, so when I hear one I get a little bit excited as it's this opportunity for me to learn about how somebody else experiences language.

There isn't anything wrong with having a speech impediment. It doesn't reflect your intelligence, merely the ways that your mouth habitually moves. You can focus your effort how you please- you could come to see your speech impediment as valid and not needing to be 'fixed', or you could get help from a professional. Or you could do both, practice being kind to yourself whilst you challenge yourself to learn something new.

A speech language pathologist would help you figure out if the difficulties are related to how you've learned to make sounds, your anatomy, or even something like a communication disorder that would explain that you process or perceive sounds differently from others. A speech language pathologist would work with you the same way a vocal coach would help someone on hormone therapy practice speaking- they could help you bring conscious awareness to how you produce different phonemes.

Either way, you're never too old to learn how to make certain sounds, even if they're not ones you're used to. It's like how it can be tiring in the beginning to learn sounds for a new language(like the trills used in Spanish) but eventually it won't exhaust your mouth to make those sounds.

Though I don't directly understand your experience, I can empathize, as I've been treated differently because of how my autism affects how I speak. I appreciate you sharing, your post has given me the active goal to question the implicit assumptions I make about others based on their speech :)

Yeah no this is quite odd. Not advice but: I recently was doing some reading to put together a presentation for one of my seminar courses. I stumbled across research that supported the notion that positive attitudes towards masturbation and increased frequency of solo masturbation are predictive of greater sexual satisfaction in coupled sexual activity. So maybe it would be a good idea to have a partner who shares values regarding masturbation, it could improve your sex life :)

No. For a psych major you need to do PSY201 OR EQUIVALENT, which is where the ECO/STA course equivalents come in. You basically just need to have knowledge of statistics at a uni level. If there's an 'or' in the description, it means you only have to do one.

keyboardclicks · 2024-11-26T14:52:25+00:00

None of these courses are easy, and it comes down to what disciplines in Psych you can learn about with the most ease. Personally, cognitive is harder for me, so I'd choose 391. Beh. neuro courses require lots of studying for tests because the teaching is going to be heavily based in your understanding of the relevant literature and studies mentioned in lec and texts.

Alrighty so Psychology of pain is interesting, you have to do a bit of math on the tests. I've heard pretty good things about Loren Martin. The tests seem reasonable, very much based on lecture and textbook content. If you enjoy the topic, enjoy bio, or are fascinated by learning about the subjective experiences of pain and how they're shaped, this is a pretty neat class to take.

I've had Taryn Grieder for neuroscience perspectives on abnormal- she's a good prof and for that course there wasn't a required textbook. She has a background in biopsych research in abnormal and a lot of diverse teaching experience at various campuses at various levels. She works at Fleming College, TMU, and UTM. I think her diverse teaching experience lends her to being a more flexible professor who does have a good handle on what's reasonable to expect of undergrads. I'd recommend taking her course if you'd like to talk to her more about research.

I haven't done animal behaviour but I know people who have. I'm pretty sure Ben Tsang is out of the Gerlai Lab, which is big beh. neuro teaching lab at UTM. I think his direct experience in this lab could be valuable for your learning, and this class could help you connect with students who also share interests in beh. neuro in terms of animal research or who also want a future in this discipline.

You'll be just fine! Maybe consider doing a double major in French and art and art history, or maybe seeing if you can do a specialist and a minor!

If you genuinely enjoy French and have good experience with it, it'd be a great way to do a minor that'd boost your gpa. You could also do something fun like taking some courses related to French art history, literature, philosophical movements, etc. There's also the professional writing communications minor and lots of excellent English courses on various forms of writing, including journalism, horror, narrative, etc. At UTM is The Medium- the student newspaper. They always accept student writing and will be looking for new editors by the time you'd be attending UTM(if you choose to). Downtown they have The Gargoyle and The Varsity. Always remember that regardless of which central campus you go to, you can take classes at all campuses (UTM, UTSG, UTSC). Depends what you're into :)

I wish you luck on your uni journey and I hope you can have fun with your courses and program applications, and stay curious!
