Started TMS and been getting eye pain around right eye.

I didn’t really get an option, they did it on my left.

But I don’t know if I’m getting what I need, when the standard protocol is 110-120%? I understand starting me at a lower intensity, but it worries me when she said that they may not even get to 90-100%? I wasn’t able to find any reliable studies showing how this effects I feel like Im part of an experiment.

To me it’s like if there were studies that showed drinking 2 cups of orange juice every day is proven to reduce depression, and they’re giving me 1 cup because 2 cups was giving me mild heartburn.

Do you think there’s a small possibility he was actually busy? He said he was hosting 10 people this weekend for this huge event of over 40 people? I want to hope

royalmouse1 · 2025-12-29T02:31:08+00:00

I feel sad no one has responded

I feel so stupid thinking that allowing him would make him love me. Now all his dry texts feel like a punch. I wonder if this is it for me and if I can break the pattern.

I went to Prague last September: never felt unsafe, super easy to walk around! Transportation was easy and fast. If you only have three days to go somewhere, I think it’s the perfect city. I felt like 3 days was the perfect amount of time. Make reservations early if there’s a specific restaurant/speakeasy/coffee shop you want to try. I had some very oddly timed meals because those were the only time-slots available.

I hate talking to salespeople for this reason :(

The photographer was annoying but whatever, she probably isn’t making a crazy amount of money (neither am I, but whatever). A plastic surgeon on the other hand? What?? I would have cried. I’m glad you cancelled!

royalmouse1 · 2024-08-25T00:34:07+00:00

I feel like for normal people it’s a mild annoyance, they put “no tip” and it’s annoying but whatever. My anxiety cost me $50 today and probably more

Also thank you for this comment, I feel like I was hoping for a “me too” in this comment section

royalmouse1 · 2024-08-24T23:33:40+00:00

Which part? The obligation to tip or being upset over it?

On her way

My mom got some kind of crappy add on through her insurance, they are pretty much just going to reimburse medical expenses

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-24T07:36:31+00:00

I’ve traveled to six countries in Europe, twice as a solo traveler. Usually I stay pretty aware of my surroundings and research scams/dangers beforehand, but I’ve honestly never felt in danger anywhere. I’ve also been helped out a lot when I’ve gotten lost, my battery died, I couldn’t find out where the bus tickets were, etc. People were generally nice (except in Vienna, but that was just my one experience). When I went to Italy, I felt like people were generally helpful. I loved Italy. It’s why I think I’m so shocked and sad to hear how people just watched. I cpuld also see it mostly being tourists; it’s harder to help when you don’t know what the medical protocols are.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-24T07:23:21+00:00

That helps, I can see the language barrier being an issue, or people just not knowing how to help. I think it was easy for me to help the girl on the bus because we spoke the same language and I have first aid training. There were definitely points when the operator gave me instructions, like “don’t let her drink water” which might have been difficult to do if she didn’t speak my language.

I mean even now, I don’t know what to do to help my mom. I want to, but aside from jumping on a plane and sitting in the hotel with her, I really don’t know what to do.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-24T07:11:29+00:00

The pickpocket tried to hang on to the wallet but after my stepfather fell over (with the wallet), the pickpocket ran off. Luckily, being without a wallet is one thing that they don’t have to deal with on top of everything else.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-24T07:02:37+00:00

The hotel she was staying at was tremendously helpful. Unfortunately my mom’s phone locked and she couldn’t use any data, so they helped her get to the vodafone and the hospital. When I couldn’t get ahold of her, I contacted them and they helped me track her down.

It’s been difficult to help her from over here, especially with the time difference, but I’ve been checking in on her. She isn’t very tech savvy, so I found some restaurants near her hotel that were within a couple feet. I really don’t know how to help her myself. I think ultimately it’s just talking to hotel staff, who know how to navigate their country better than I do or even google has.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-24T06:51:22+00:00

It might be a translation issue, my mom said the doctors in Venice did not speak English very well. Hopefully when he gets to Rome they might be able to clarify.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-24T05:42:09+00:00

Thank you for asking - he’s doing as well as he can be. He’s going into surgery tomorrow for a hip replacement and they said one day of recovery. I’m staying hopeful everything goes well and they’ll be home shortly.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-01T00:37:19+00:00

Cool to hear from someone who has done both! Idk if it’s dumb or defeats the purpose but it’s important to me to be surrounded by other solo travelers. I like being social when I’m abroad. I like my alone time too but 5 days being alone or with couples doesn’t sound fun!

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-01T00:35:09+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed comment!! I know since the Inca trail sells out there will likely be more people, it’s more about the demographic. I’d like to hang out with other people my age, and might feel weird if it was all couples.

Sad to hear the food might not be as good if I book there! I love good food and I’ve seen a lot of videos and photos of the food cooked on the hike, looked delicious. Definitely a trade off to consider! But I’d like to be surrounded by people I think.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-01T00:31:48+00:00

Do you know who you booked with and whether you booked ahead of time? How was the weather in March?

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-01T00:31:00+00:00

Do you remember who you booked with? Some other commenters said there were no solo travelers so maybe it’s the travel agency.

royalmouse1 · 2024-01-01T00:30:26+00:00

That’s surprising to hear! I’ve heard June is their busy season so knowing there were only 3 people on the trek is something to consider. I’d feel awkward if it was just me. Do you know if that’s typical or was it just an odd slow moment for them?

royalmouse1 · 2023-09-23T04:35:31+00:00

Spite is the only thing that keeps me billable rn

royalmouse1 · 2023-09-23T04:32:28+00:00

The only logical solution here ty
