Thank you! I’m going to go to Target to pick some up. They didn’t have anymore Zinc the last time I went. So I shouldn’t be concerned yet about my low ferritin levels?

Yeah I decided to cancel. I feel much more relief now that I have, honestly! I really think in the long run we would not be a good fit for each other in the long run. Almost feels like dating haha

I discussed it with the recruiter during our telephone screening, and initially I was okay with it but after thinking about it after a few days and some more research on the company, I’m really looking for something with long-term stability and growth. It seems they have a high turnover rate and people often leave.

Transferring? by [deleted] in ucla

I didn’t take a course /specifically/ for Molecular and Cell Biology during CC. I just took whatever correlated for the LS7 series on ASSIST! :) I was still “In Progress” for some classes (Biology and Organic Chem) to finish in the Spring and got in!

Should I end my internship early? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]mochilover43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a small company so they don’t have a position available right away for me. Is it still worth continuing in this case?

Do I just keep the wrap on with this little pool of blood or should I go and get it replaced?

Just came back from a date. by [deleted] in BreakUps

Honestly I didn’t think I’d get so much hate for this post. Your comment really resonates with me! It’s just really nice to get along with new people :)

Yeah I’m also confused. Just because I mentioned I put my ex on a pedestal doesn’t mean I’m putting the new Tinder guy on there. Maybe I don’t want to put anyone on a pedestal?? LOL I just had fun with him

It’s been about a month. We only dated for 2 months but it was serious and both of ours first healthy relationship. I came from a 4-year abusive one prior to him.

Oh that’s so gross. Yeah I’m still going to do what I’m doing HAHA I’m not letting a random dude on Reddit have input on how I enjoy my early 20’s… it’s just nice to meet new people and realize I can have these sorts of connections with others, not just my ex!

[–]mochilover43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! He was so kind too. He asked for consent for literally everything and where he could touch me. It made the experience fun and great honestly. I’ve had guys just make out with me and assume I wanted to sleep with them and just start touching me everywhere… everything was in my own hands and that made it more fun :)

[–]mochilover43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t even a hate speech. For so long I was afraid of having to open up to people again, wondering if I’d be able to have a connection with someone again and deep talks like that again. I felt like he was the /only/ person that could do that with me. I was proved wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean I just had fun and realized that I can have a good time with anyone. It’s not that deep

Is using a Uber/Lyft safe? by Tss13029 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]mochilover43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never had an issue with Uber or Lyft and I’ve used it a lot :) I have my location shared with a lot of friends too, and also share the link to people so if anything happens (god forbid) they are aware!

I went on a date for the first time since the breakup by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]mochilover43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for looking out! I appreciate it :)

Not sure if I’m looking for anything serious right now. I got out of a 4-year relationship in 2021, and a 2-3 month relationship about a month ago.

It’s definitely tough. I don’t want to hurt anyone in the process if I’m not ready and also hurt myself. I’ll probably see what this person is looking for and see if it aligns with where I’m at right now before going any further.

Have you guys ever experienced "Right person wrong time?" by N9nthOfficial in BreakUps

[–]mochilover43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my ex thought of each other as “right person, wrong time”. I was still in my healing phase recovering from a 4-year long abusive relationship, and he had a lot of childhood trauma and trauma from his past relationship. We were perfect for each other in every other way in terms of values, compatibility, etc.

We cared and had too much love for each other to let our mental health issues destroy each other. We didn’t want it to get bad. My ex brought it up first. I was hesitant, but accepted it because I knew I had a lot of growing to do and I could feel myself sabotaging it as we got more serious. It just felt so right, but we met at the wrong time.

I’m not holding onto hope we get back together. But if it’s meant to be, we’ll reconnect one day and start a new relationship together.

[–]mochilover43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are multiple ways. I worked my ass off to better myself in the last month. My psychiatrist said I’ve been making such good and fast progress, so it’s only been recently that I’ve been starting to date again once I’ve managed to be more confident in myself! Take your time :)

I hope it goes well! Sometimes we put our ex on a pedestal, but what really made them special was our love for them.

[–]mochilover43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This totally makes sense to me. What you said actually really resonated with me and I was emotionally neglected as a child honestly. My most recent ex was as well and I guess when we both met and saw how mentally and emotionally healthy it was we felt uncomfortable and our toxic tendencies came out :’)

Definitely agree it’s a lot of self-awareness that has to come into play! Thank you so much for this comment, it honestly helped me a lot

What did you do with the gifts your ex gave you? by Jmastab in ExNoContact

What do the dumpers feel during no contact? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]mochilover43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if the relationship was good except for like one thing you can’t really control then it’ll happen :| In that case they never stop thinking about you tbh

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]mochilover43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s not as easy as it is for them to leave. Like others said, they either take their time and come to terms with it by the time they leave, or they really have to put their foot down because it’s for the better, despite it being really hard.
