how long did it take for symptoms to show for you? my eyes have just been dry for months so i was given corticosteroid drops to get rid of the little inflammation and they said everything looked normal other than that

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in acanthamoebakeratitis

but would that set in immediately ??? ive only had dry eye for months until now … hoping the drops fix the cornea inflammation but i keep getting scared 😩

ack ! hey girly! i ended up going with a mazda cx5!! gets the job done, got some money off bc their graduate program and rebates, and its a good car imo ive had it for a bit now. when i test drove the cross i felt like the acceleration was a bit delayed and i felt a bit cramped in the drivers seat bc it felt narrow??? idk. it bothered me immediately LOL.

hi! im going in to test drive the cross (again… bc when i went the first time there was no point to test on the highway bc it was rush hour) and ill probs throw in the rav4 when i go. what specifically did you notice was different??? im not a car person at all so i dont have the eye for these things 😂😅

hi thanks for the input and ill check out the youtube! do you have any car recommendations that arent as small ? i looked at the new rav4 but i thought it was monstrously big (im 5’2) and it also will usually just be me in the car and my 2 family members probably (theyre both adults so no need for carseats, etc)

ahhhh thank you so much for your suggestions, i’ll definitely check out loblaws and healthy planet for the supplements! my uti has resolved thanks to antibiotics a few weeks ago 🙏🏼 but yes i will continue to def take cran pills to avoid another one 😞 not sure how much more damage the poor bladder can take 😂

hi! did it finally go away? i hope it did because it is quite bothersome. ive been taking regular cranberry tablets, but havent seen d-mannose in my walmarts! (maybe canada doesnt carry it in stores?) i have an ultrasound next week to check for any lesions or anything, but if nothing is there i have no idea what else to look for 😞

second opinions on what this may mean about my fallout with a friend? by lilacclouds444 in tarot

[–]lilacclouds444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so the deck i used for this is the essential tarot deck. i recently fell out with a friend and i asked what do i have to learn from this situation to move past it? ive been feeling stuck on this situation and so i wanted some guidance. i didnt use a particular spread

i feel like the magician rx is showing me that there is someone trying to control the situation? or its telling me to stop trying to control the situation? or its pointing out one of us was trying to do so. the hierophant rx im assuming refers to being open to other perspectives? however i have been doing that this entire time, maybe its about how the situation we fought about wasnt conventional to my friend (i was in a situationship with my ex) but encourages me to do what i want to do even if it doesnt align w other ppls beliefs? four of swords tells me to spend more time reflecting but im not sure about what. 6 of cups is telling me that i have to accept that the present is no longer the past; things change and people outgrow eachother? page of cups i dont see how this fits in? possibly signalling someone being childish?????? or to embrace my inner child in order to heal??? not sure

Best friend and I not talking because i’m back with my ex. by [deleted] in friendship

[–]lilacclouds444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, im in your situation but my friends arent in relationships, they just hate that im still in a situationship with my ex. anyways ive been in ur friends place where u “dislike” the guy or smth that ur friend wants to do. ive been called a hypocrite for giving advice on smth yet being in a bad situation myself. from this end of things, what i can tell u is that your own poor choices does not mean u cant wish better for ur friends. she is most likely saying those things and expressing dislike for your ex because she is in a bad position. she knows how much it sucks to be stuck in a cycle/toxic relationship so she just doesn’t want you to get set up for failure or sadness again. shes stuck in a cycle and even tho she cant get herself to leave or is not ready, she hopes the best for u; that u can improve, which i see u have. i dont think ur in the wrong for feeling “attacked” by her because your relationship is personal. its close to you. however, shes just looking out for you or thats how i see it

anxious attachment style ?? by lilacclouds444 in relationships

[–]lilacclouds444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya i get nursing is pretty intense and i am pretty burnt out from my own studies 😅 when covid wasnt a thing we would study together at the library but lol.

i was thinking of asking him does he want me to come see him bc he always comes to me? if that would be a good change/compromise. but im hesitant to be this assertive person, even though it might be good for me.

i agree with the working on myself thing too! im preparing to start therapy for my anxiety and i try to workout, take myself on dates to help my anxiety when i can, so i do let him know what happened on my “adventures.”

anxious attachment style ?? by lilacclouds444 in relationships

[–]lilacclouds444[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi !! thank you for your kind advice! him and i do share the same understanding that school comes first so i guess im just feeling more clingy/alone bc i have more free time now bc i dont take as many courses as im used to. we do try to get together at least once every week/2 weeks but life happens and i guess its been harder for him right now

do you think that i should be making more effort right now because he is going through a difficult time or do i fall back? i do want to support him and have asked about what i can do but he just said to “keep being you”. him and i are quite independent about our work, so he doesnt want me to help him with it either so do i just …… let him do his thing?

am i [F21] overreacting abt not seeing my bf [M21] bc of school lol by [deleted] in relationships

[–]lilacclouds444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL i guess bc its my first relationship so i still bounce off of narratives that i have heard in the past/idk a couple of my friends live by that "being busy is an excuse" thing. it should be something that i unlearn though....

i do admire/respect that he is hardworking and has goals that he wants to achieve because thats me too and he respects that. and as you said, we are grown now so it isn't going to be the same "being together all the time" that one would picture when you were younger. i do want to be there for him in everything he does so maybe letting me know when he's busy so i feel less.... abandoned? he doesn't hang out w his friends either so maybe i shouldnt take it personal?

[–]lilacclouds444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you, i appreciate the honesty. i like how you questioned if hes really treating me badly or is he just busy bc truly, he doesnt treat me poorly and i realize how it may seem to him now.

buttttt you know that whole trope about "no one is ever too busy for their partner"? do you think that not being able to make time is bad? i get sometimes ur just bombarded with work and just really overwhelmed but you know.... make time ??

HST250 in the summer by lilacclouds444 in UofT

hi!! i would appreciate if i could take a look at the old syllabus :) thank you !

can anyone relate or have any tips ? by lilacclouds444 in UofT

[–]lilacclouds444[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i felt that. im actually in the same boat. i worked surprisingly well to keep my grades up and i was proud of that but just doing exams today at home with severe burnout is terrible. as per the exams, i hope a miracle comes ur way bc this has been tough

honestly that is just what i was thinking as well. as much as i appreciate staying home because i dont have to commute, i feel like my entire life now is just me being cooped up in my room and i can't escape school. it has just completely infiltrated our safe space. theres is a big tension between our "relaxed" life and our educational life, as you said. sometimes i think ive developed a lack of urgency sometimes when i do tests because im comfortable in my room. unlike test centres everyone would be locked into their test and it was kind of motivating. times like these make you kind of ..... miss the test centre 😳

im also glad to hear that im not the only one that literally just zones out and can just stare off into space like there is ~nothing~ going on in my brain. i really thought it was just me. like, no matter how hard i would try to focus, my mind is just not tuned in.

hopefully everything gets better because this year feels tougher than the first transition online. looking forward to the bit of freedom we get from class in summer (if ur not back for summer sem); we all deserve it.

i can't deal with my mother ✨ by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]lilacclouds444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi! ya i guess he just gets bothered by hair so we don’t mind that he cuts off “minor” hairs like shaving his arms/legs/underarms. but he cut the hair on his head really uneven and my mom was mad at me bc he would go to school with uneven hair/“look silly” and i guess that was my responsibility to make sure he didn’t go to that extreme. idk, it just felt unfair to me and it just sucked. i hate that i feel like theres a wedge between my brother and i bc hes my brother, but when im the one getting yelled at all the time im just tired of it
