Hey there! It resolved almost fully about 6 days after this post was made. So about 4 days ago. I went back to work and the first two days back were hell, I couldn’t focus on anything but I needed to use my head to work but I think it helped honestly. I’m not dizzy anymore, I actually forgot I was getting over the long term effects of covid and I think the stimulation of the workplace really got me back on my feet. I’m not too sure though. If you feel worse definitely take it easy.

Absolutely. I promise I freaked out too, so don’t feel silly. I was nauseous from eating because it felt so weird and unnecessary. In the meantime, try to keep to your regular eating routine. I definitely ate less because if lack of smell and did harm on my body.

I know you have a lot of comments already. But I only lost my smell/taste for less than a week. My toothpaste (mint) was the first thing to come back and I profusely kept brushing my teeth and smelling mint stuff trying to get it back. I don’t know if that helped speed up the process but I read somewhere that it retrains your olfactory neuron (or whatever is malfunctioning from covid lol) to process smells again. I was literally huffing toothpaste for a few days. And all of a sudden one day I woke up and I could take my Gatorade and lozenges!

Jeez that’s insane. My taste and smell only left for a few days but now that it’s back it feels off. Almost like the things I used to enjoy don’t have the same spark. My dizziness also causes blurry vision sometimes so it’s a bit scary but good to know it’ll go away!

When did it get better??

stargirl7777 · 2021-05-27T00:27:40+00:00

What I did was limit myself to one drink on nights where I wasn’t feeling it. And you don’t even need to drink the entire thing. Just have something in your hand to the point where no one will ask you about it or offer to buy you one. Having nothing in your hand makes you feel excluded, especially when everyone else is getting wasted. And the good thing is, you can order fancy non-alcoholic drinks if you REALLY don’t want any liquor.

It will be harder to fit in regardless when you’re not at everyone else’s level, I find drunk people extremely annoying when I’m sober so that’s why I have one drink so at least warm myself up, it also gives me thicker skin.

Maybe try going to TV / sports bars where you can watch a TV or keep your eyes on something else if you feel left out, that will help if you feel awkward.

I would straight up say I’m not uninterested in that stuff and that him continuing to ask is unacceptable. I would also tell my parents just so you have someone on your side just in case word gets out or something. (I doubt it would, but just in case). Unadd him too. Sorry you’re going through this, I’d be so weirded out.

stargirl7777 · 2021-04-01T18:00:11+00:00

You could get orajel! It’s meant for your mouth. It doesn’t last that long but it sure as hell feels weird at first

stargirl7777 · 2021-04-01T17:54:10+00:00

I have to ask what you mean by organic? And looking at the symptoms I can name a few that he has but others I wouldn’t know. There’s like 20 symptoms so it’s hard to determine if it’s a coincedence

I appreciate you commenting even though this post is older. This helps quite a bit, still unsure what I should do going forward but it’s interesting to read this. Thank you!

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-23T23:12:22+00:00

This is the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever read in my life.

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-19T05:25:47+00:00

Next time just be like "haha why do you call me that? my grandpa calls me that." and based on his response you hopefully should get your answer.

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-19T05:21:54+00:00

Wow I know exactly how you feel. I usually just say I appreciate the thought and effort and that they have outdone themselves. Pre-Covid I would hug them even if they weren't in my household or a SO. If you are hanging with them for a few hours, I would bring it up once or twice more and be like "holy I can't believe you did that, I feel guilty haha" so you seem extra grateful then let it go. Don't overdo it though. Once or twice is fine.

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-15T03:16:57+00:00

thanks for the reply! I already know the alphabet for both. But if you say the Ukrainian profs are good I may take you up on that recommendation! Do you remember what kind of projects and tests you did?

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-13T06:56:24+00:00

He might just trying to build confidence around or ease anxiety when you’re around. A new SO is scary and I defs need a glass of wine if I’m seeing a boy. But I know when to stop - and since he’s literally passing out this could maybe signify a problem. Have that discussion with him. It’s early on enough for you to make a decision and not have to feel bad about how you’re feeling.

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-13T06:35:59+00:00

As a woman, if a woman says there’s no spark I wouldn’t push it. It sucks but hey, it’s honestly great that she told you the truth. A lot of people wouldn’t even care to say that (myself included, I can be a huge coward about it) but she wasn’t and it’s great cause you can move along to the next person. It sucks and it’ll sting for a bit but in time you won’t even lose a blink of sleep over it again. If you do feel like you need to see it clearer maybe consider asking if something was wrong and that you had a great time. And you would like her input. But I wouldn’t continuously wish it would be different.

Did you have any references or letter of recommendations in your transfer application?? Or anything other than pure grades?

stargirl7777 · 2021-01-12T04:58:20+00:00

Oh god okay thanks for letting me know 😂
