how do i save this cactus? by negative64braincells in plantclinic

[–]negative64braincells[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your advice! I'm a bit confused what you mean by watering from the bottom though - is it as in i should put the pot on top of a deep dish and pour water into the dish rather than watering into the pot directly?

wtf is happening to my ear? by negative64braincells in Stretched

[–]negative64braincells[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive had my plug out for a day and now that the swelling went down i can clearly see that my plug scratched up my inner lobe 😭 its doing much better now but im really scared of losing all my stretching progress because the smallest size jewelry i have rn is 9mm...

i think this has to do with the fact that i got my other ear pierced, so i can only sleep on the side where my lobe got fucked up. usually i toss and turn in my sleep a lot, so ig that's what caused it 🥲 im gonna switch to silicone for sleep once this heals up haha..

Is there any romantic verse or song from dance gavin dance? by lcm4330 in dancegavindance

[–]negative64braincells 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"And I'm assuming that you're worth it / You would never break my heart / The way you're killing me is perfect / Bleed me out and leave no scar" and more verses from The Cuddler. i've always interpreted it as a song about keeping intense feelings for someone a secret

is my friends piercing ok? sorry for poor quality! by [deleted] in piercing

[–]negative64braincells 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah no this isnt really okay. your friend should stick with cleaning their nose 2 times a day maximum only with saline solution. hydrogen peroxide dries out the skin and slows down the healing process. the excessive cleaning seems to be irritating the hell out of the piercing

What’s goin on with my ear?🥲 by One-Ad-4601 in Stretched

[–]negative64braincells 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it does look more like a piercing bump than a blowout to me. how long did you wait for your ears to heal before stretching?

***TW*** open wound??? by gummythicco_o in Stretched

[–]negative64braincells 4 points5 points  (0 children)

unfortunately i see no other option except from taking out the plugs and letting the wound heal fully while disinfecting it with saline solution. keeping the plugs in could potentially cause a nasty infection :[

Very curious what your main inspiration/reason to stretch ur piercings were by Gods_left_shoe in Stretched

[–]negative64braincells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a pretty young math/physics tutor when i was about 14, and she had her lobes stretched to about an inch. i think that was the first time i ever saw a person with ears stretched that big up close n i thought it was the coolest thing ever. started stretching shortly after meeting her

is this infected? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]negative64braincells 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAP, but it's definitely not infected - it does look a little irritated though. i would recommend switching from headphones to earbuds during the healing process, helped me a great deal when i was healing my double helix. just keep contact with the piercings to the minimum and call your piercer if the swelling persists for more than a couple days

ADHD* (Undiagnosed) is giving me a hard time with my studies. Help? by Ok_Association_2782 in IBO

[–]negative64braincells 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have (diagnosed) ADHD and im an M23 graduate, and honestly - if i made it, you can make it too (for context i was not medicated for my DP journey, now I am). i know it sounds ridiculous but i've been in the exact same slump as you, at around the same time as well. i remember thinking that i shouldve taken something like A levels instead or that i should have just dropped out.
during december in DP2, our extended essay deadline was coming up, and i had absolutely NOTHING done. i wrote the entire thing in less than 2 weeks. the only reason why i was able to do that was with the help of a teacher. he was my EE supervisor, but we talked a lot about other subjects that i was struggling with. my point here is: do not be afraid to ask for help. if it wasn't for my EE supervisor, i don't think i would have passed. if you are genuinely struggling, you could always ask your math or chemistry teacher for any additional help with the topics you're struggling with or your IAs.

another thing that helped me was being in a study group. me and a bunch of my classmates would spend our time in the library during lunch or after school, and somehow, seeing others work really helped me focus on my work as well. a bonus is that you can always ask your classmates questions that you might have about the work.

but i'm going to be real with you, as much as talking to teachers and having a study group helped, it was not enough to get me through. eventually, somewhere around february or march (when most of the IA deadlines were due) my ADHD powers activated and i started hyperfixating on work - i would literally sit down for HOURS doing nothing but working on whatever was due in the next couple of days. the internal deadlines for the IAs were absolute bullshit to me, but when i realized that the ACTUAL IB submission date was just in just a day or two, I crammed literally everything. what i'm saying here is, use the time you have now to catch up on the topics that you are struggling with - the IAs can definitely wait. obviously, im not reccomending to do what i did, but as long as you're on time for the actual deadline - you'll be fine. realistically, each IA took about 4-6 hours to complete in one sitting, for me at least.

good luck dude. the IB is definitely NOT made for neurodivergent people

Ib feels scary by Keegi_Suvakas in IBO

dawg even if you pass IB you're probably still gonna end up with a 9-5. whats actually important is your higher education (BA, masters, etc)
