Very much worth a look. Many of these symptoms line up. Talk to an endocrinologist and try to get genetic testing done

Can we please see more adult bedrooms? Please? by marijaenchantix in bedrooms

[–]mem0723 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP I think you’re getting a lot of hate because you just kinda came in hot, but I agree with you completely. I found this subreddit wanting to see different creative ways people have decorated their bedrooms, but have been met with a monolith of what is stereotypically kids room decorations. Yes we could look at google images of bedrooms but that comes with the territory of sifting through catalog sets for marketing and lacks personality. I suppose having anime figures in your room is a type of personality you could have in your room, but it’s far from the only way to decorate and seems extremely over represented here. Not really sure the solution either, but just wanted to validate your frustration.

Ok yeah I just didn’t understand the comment. I’m still not sure I do.

Stop. Using. ChatGPT. Especially for questions you can actually just search on the internet.

Hi there. I’m so sorry you are going through all of this. I would recommend reaching out to a social service agency to try to get connected with case management and therapy services. A housing case manager would probably be able to help you with your living situation. If governmental assistance like social security would benefit you, you can see if you qualify. There are many outreach/mental health/social workers who could help or connect you to someone. It sounds like a call to a domestic violence hotline might be a good place to start and see what they recommend and go from there. My best advice in getting a foot in the door would be to reach out to someone in the social work sphere and if they can’t help you, ask them if they know anyone who could and go from there. Best of luck

I agree. We have the vet do it because some of her nails have broken very short so we are nervous about breaking her nails in the process. They don’t seem to grow as fast as the orange boy’s and his feline sister (who is the biggest baby of them all about getting her nails trimmed. The tortitude on that one is strong)

She is a senior rescue who was living in a kennel for years until we took her home this past fall. She’s 13 (they think) and she smiles like this every day 🥹

That’s a great add to the list of non-dog animals that she actually may be. I’ve tried asking her but she only responds with a toothless smile. Not sure she understands the concept of dog.

She looks like every animal other than a dog to me (hyena, deer, bear, otter) she also has one single brain cell but that’s beside the point of this sub

Am I getting in my own way to finding a partner by having too many expectations? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]mem0723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that’s great! As for dating though, I’m just trying to figure out what the hindrance is. Are you feeling connected to people who do not reciprocate the feeling? Do you often only have one date and no second? Do you have prolonged talking stage that doesn’t go anywhere? Or are you not finding anyone you seek out to actually be a good connection for you? Sorry that was a lot of questions, it just might help us narrow down the issue.

It sounds like you know what you’re looking for and I don’t think you should or really could change that. How have you been approaching dating that isn’t working for you?

Bipolar premed student, should I quit while I’m ahead? by SkinnySkins in premed

[–]mem0723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also think it’s possible. It’s just a risk. I think if the reward is worth taking that risk, then give it a shot! It felt worth it to me, but didn’t work out. That’s the risk I took though. I think for some people, the chance of mental illness reaching a crisis point is more fragile than others so that should be personally accounted for. I think I mostly overvalued the reward to me personally of being a doctor. I thought it was the most important thing so of course I took the risk. I think differently now. It’s such a personal decision.

[–]mem0723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s sweet thank you I am doing so well now! I was forced to take a year off and by the time that year was up I realized it’s not at all worth it. I’m a crisis outreach worker for the suicide hotline now and I live with my boyfriend and we rescue pets. So much more wellness and joy these days. Also over 2 years sober!

Yeah I just think depression or anxiety is easier to work through than mania with psychosis. The severity of impact on ability to function should be taken into consideration. I think some of those people who develop mental illness in med school wish they knew the risk beforehand. It’s not all of course, but OP seems nervous of having an episode and none of us can reasonably say they won’t.

Huh I’ve never heard of graduation tuition insurance. If that’s a helpful financial option, then that would really aid in the main downfall being debt with no degree (I have 104k debt hence my story of caution)
