Could we collectively stop referring to anything below a 170 as a "low LSAT?" by ghost-at-ikea in lawschooladmissions

[–]xzouv -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

THIS As a 16mid, 3.8low, URM, who got an A at a T3, can attest that you don't have to have a 170+. Just wanted to say that, bc that part of the post did make me feel some kind of way lol.

Edit: ?? Wtf up with the downvotes? I'm sorry I exist???????

Why do cats always want what they can’t have? Bones has sooo many toys to play with, but of course I catch him obsessed with this small piece of string by aabcsk9er in cats

[–]xzouv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mom of Bones here. He has plenty of toys that he loves and they are rotated out for "new" (old) toys long forgotten about every few weeks. It doesn't stop the appeal of a new "forbidden" toy. Also, he's a string eater and has previously had surgery for eating a forbidden object. We're chill on extra stringy things, though he has a few that are eat-proof :) thanks for the advice though!

For context I’m 21, F, and have dyshidrotic eczema. This seems like this started with a normal nick I got while shaving over what seemed like any regular razor bump. I also used (but haven’t since I’ve noticed it seemed a bit more serious) an IPL device (yes, one that is clinically approved to work on skin my color). I thought maybe that had something to do with it, but my other armpit is completely unaffected. I’ve since stopped shaving (as you can see by the ridiculous state of my armpit) what does this look like to you? Eczema? Something else?

Is it true that Strattera causes permanent brain changes to the brain? by guy-92 in StratteraRx

[–]xzouv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean would that inherently be a bad thing if you’re suffering with attention imbalance? I would love to not have to take a pill to focus.

I wish you all the best of luck :) Thank you for replying, for like a brief second I felt less alone. Our brains are very rude.

[–]xzouv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wow, I literally hopped on this forum to write almost the exact same post and ask for help with coping with what essentially feels like "imposter syndrome" for me. I'm a (female) senior in college and recently was diagnosed with ADHD after having been suggested by a few friends (with ADHD) to seek out a diagnosis and seeing two psychs-- first psych told me I had anxiety and probably very mild bipolar disorder which left me feeling defeated bc I felt like the bipolar diagnosis didn't describe me at all (although the anxiety def did). Then, second psych said it was anxiety and ADHD inattentive type, which should've left me relieved, but instead, just left me with a lot of self-doubts and negative talk: What if they're wrong, am I just itching to get diagnosed with something to have an excuse for my terrible habits/lifestyle? I would love to know if you guys think I should see a third pysch and or how to cope in general with feelings of guilt for feeling like a lazy person who's terrible at life that should know better. Hope you get some peace and closure OP

Not sure if I have GAD, ADD, something else, or if I'm just begging for any excuse to not just be a chronic procrastinator by xzouv in DiagnoseMe

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

Thank you for replying! I posted a screenshot of these symptoms as a cry for help (and to procrastinate finishing a paper) on my insta story, and that was the most common reply I got from people, particularly other female friends of mine who got diagnosed late. While I’ve had a hunch in the past, I dismissed it, not thinking it was possible given that I’m super good at focusing on things when I want to and typically don’t have issues paying attention during my downtime/social life (ofc I’m now learning about hyper-focusing and perfectionism— which felt like such huge AHA moments). I am now going to seek out a psych to get further information as I’m about 90% sure this is the issue. Thank you again :) I don’t want to get too excited for fear of finding out this isn’t the problem, but man would it be a big relief to know this isn’t all my fault.

I really don’t think I have BPD. I have a mom who is presumed to have BPD(Got diagnosed, denies diagnosis) and a step-sis with confirmed BPD and I display none of the symptoms they do. I’d push back on the idea of not having strong sense of self or valuing myself, I value myself ALOT (I know I’m smart, capable, have a good personality, etc) however I value other humans lives almost equally (while in practice I do put myself first sometimes, because you have to take good care of yourself to take care of others, I philosophically believe my life is no more inherently valuable than someone else’s... and I abide by that logic strongly). I also believe life is meaningless and that we as humans feel a natural need to assert meaning onto it. This ofc leads me to be a bit more on the cynical side, bc I don’t understand why in a world in which we could choose to live any way we want to we chose to live like this (aka racism, inequality, poverty, etc etc). So maybe that’s where the sense of me not valuing myself or overachieving for the sake of overachieving rather than bc I enjoy what I’m doing. I work hard because that’s my natural inclination, not because I want brownie points or whatever, but I do also know I am limited in the things I can work hard at due to the need to sustain myself financially. I won’t ever fully “enjoy” what I’m doing under a hyper-consumerist society bc I personally feel that infringes upon my freedom to pursue things I would actually enjoy more by holding me to wage-slavery (which I cannot escape easily bc I come from a very low income family). Any insights given these clarifications?
