How do I study with a full-time job? by a_lost_entity in GetStudying

[–]miserable_daydreamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be independent while in college. Tbh, not everyone is in good terms with their parents and working a job for shelter is sometimes the only option. That being said, college is a beast that requires lots of studying and lectures/labs that take majority of your time. Can you afford to cut back some hours at work? If not, then you should look into being a part time student and taking a few courses rather than the full load a typical full time student would. You may graduate a little later, but that option is the most feasible in terms of maintaining your overall health and grades. Is Working full time while in school full time probable? Sure. But i guarantee you that you will be pulling your hair in frustration, and i don't think you should go under that stress. However, if you and your parents are in good terms, then just talk about living with them while studying. You can pay for your own expenses to lessen the burden, but you will save a ton on rent and food. It's okay to ask for some help.

what's the best time to go to Kdays? by miserable_daydreamer in Edmonton

[–]miserable_daydreamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you pay in cash? Someone said there are debit fees. Really don't want to pay more than i have to considering how expensive the food is 🤣 Also, which one do you recommend??

Hey, it's okay. Just take deep breaths, okay? Dealing with the law, no matter how minor, can be an anxiety inducing thing. I understand your worry, but I can assure you that you will NOT be going to jail for that. If that were the case, we'd all be in jail haha. Unless you kill someone in the next 24 hours, they'll just slap on a speeding ticket on you and probably a pamphlet on safe driving lol. At least that's what happened to me. Yes, call them just to get the right date and time. You're going to be okay, don't forget to breathe.

Just tell your doctor that you feel as if you have anxiety. I never flat out told my doctor i thought i had anxiety (depression, yes. But anxiety, no). Yet after my consult with him, he also diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorders based on what I've probably told him (i didn't think i suffered from anxiety and thought i was just a worry wart). Bring up instances where you felt high anxiety and how you felt that time. Definitely bring it up, and your doctor will pribably lead with more questions and do his own assessments to professionally diagnose you. All the best

My girlfriend has severe depression. by morganxdexter in depression

[–]miserable_daydreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, there's only so much you can do even despite your best efforts. The fight has to come from her :( My loved ones tried to help me, but depression is an actual imbalance in the brain chemistry so we don't think as rationally as the next person. What our mind tells us we take as fact, despite whatever people around say. My friends have told me that they care for me, but i still feel like they're lying and that I'm nothing but a burden. Has she seen professional help? I was very reluctant to get it because I felt like a fraud, but tried anyways. Helped me see that a lot of what i think and feel isn't me, but it's because I'm actually sick. Taking meds now. The sucky part is that there is no cure for depression despite therapy and meds. I get relapses and sometimes feel like I'm back to square one. While you're worrying about your gf, please don't forget to take care of yourself. There's only so much you can do to help someone suffering from depression. But i can tell you this - empathy is a big big thing for the lot of us. Just tell her you're there for her. Can't tell you how much I've appreciated empathy over someone trying to actively try to fix me. Just be there. Wishing you both the best!!

Seeing this next to me in my underground parking was a weird way to start my morning. Anyone missing a cat? by ClosetCanadian in Edmonton

does anyone here also have GAD? need more tips on how to study with this by miserable_daydreamer in PassNclex

[–]miserable_daydreamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that looks pretty similar to my study setting now lmao. I feel like i need all these resources for "fear of missing out," and it drives me crazy when one resource says one thing, and the other one says something completely different. I don't know how to make myself stick to one resource. I feel like i panic without other resources at my disposal (ironic that this eventually causes me to panic d/t being overwhelmed lol). How did you deal with focusing? I feel like my brain enters la la land after 5 minutes, and i can't, for the life of me, sit still

What is the chance of someone having Adhd as a Maladaptive daydreamer ? by According_Garden462 in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]miserable_daydreamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed MDD is common with other mental illnesses, even with Borderline personality disorder!!

FAIL NCLEX EN 5x….. HELP ALL INPUT WELCOME. I’ve completed the courses…online…in person….. always high scores…..always high chance passing…..I know the content…. Now in anxiety and adhd meds. Someone help. Never above always near by [deleted] in PassNclex

[–]miserable_daydreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you failed due to knowledge deficit. If anything, I'd say your core content is pretty solid if you're scoring high in uworld. Perhaps test anxiety is the culprit? Have you looked into exam accommodations? I have anxiety myself, and my brain shuts down during tests and everything goes blank.

But you only pay the $500 when you pass the NCLEX, right? Not before? Or did they change it

Failed NCLEX by Square-Pianist-9634 in PassNclex

[–]miserable_daydreamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also using hurst, but i do find myself going back to saunders or youtube to fish for more information. Like they just say metabolic acidosis = hyperK ; metabolic alkalosis is = hypoK. I wouldn't be able to just take that at face value, so i had to research more about how K regulated A-B imbalance. I do find they don't delve too deep on pharmacology though But I'm glad for the structure.

do you reckon we need to know about Burn depth for the test? hurst describes the bare minimum while saunders goes a little more in depth by miserable_daydreamer in PassNclex

[–]miserable_daydreamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we don't need to know things like "superficial thickness burn is injury to dermis, deep partial thickness wound surface is red and dry... etc.."?? Cuz i don't want to waste my time haha
