I don’t know how to explain it other than it looks like 👁️‍🗨️. When I close my eye and press on the inside corner, there’s what looks like a white circle with a black circle/pupil.

Ever since I was a kid I always thought I was seeing the backside of my eyeballs or something.

I got accepted into a really really really good grad program, but being really good, means they're really expensive. I don't want to have to transfer to a grad school that will pay my way, but at the current rate, it's looking like that's what I'll have to do.

Where in the world do you find scholarships that you can actually win? I've applied on all of the websites and never hear back. I'm willing to write essays and put the work in, but I just want options where I have a chance of winning.

To help with categories, I'm getting my MFA in technical direction (tech theatre stuff), my dad was a 100% disabled veteran that passed away (almost all of my VA benefits were used during undergrad), I'm on the autism spectrum, I'm a non denominational christian...

My mom is an angel. Shes so kind and generous and has never done anything wrong to me. But man she pisses me off. I don’t have a reason why, but her presence, her talking to me, her touching me, everything annoys me so much. She’s such a dud and doesn’t use common sense which pisses me off and always states the obvious (like I can literally guess what she’s always about to say cause it’s just a given) and she tries to do too much for me. It’s all kind things like asking if the temperature is okay or if I need help, but if there was a problem, I’d say something. She’s so sweet and I feel so bad that I never want to be around her, but I just don’t. Even as simple as making conversation I’m like ugh leave me alone and I don’t know why I feel this way.

EDIT: I’m 23, moved out when I was 19. I LOVE living in my own and I actually rarely see my mom even tho she lives pretty close. So it’s not a close proximity thing, I actually feel like it gets worse the more years that pass/the less I see her

My dad was a fully disabled veteran so I received basically full help from the VA to pay for my bachelors degree under Chapter 35. I got into a really good masters program that I’ll be attending in August, but I received a letter and confirmed over the phone that I only have 4 months and 18 days left of benefits…I cannot go to this expensive school for 3 years without benefits so I’ll have to drop out unless anyone has thoughts on how to get more assistance?

I am the only one out of three children who is using my VA benefits, I live and went to undergrad in Texas, grad school is in North Carolina

I have a huge phobia of needles. So bad that writing this post just thinking about getting my blood drawn is making me cry. Whenever I get shots (which I try to avoid at all costs), I have full on panic attacks. The last shot I got a few years ago, my doctor prescribed me alprazolam and I still sobbed, but I didn’t have a panic attack so it did help. I’ve expressed wanting to get my blood drawn because of some health issues so she prescribed me 2mg of lorazepam. Well that was two years ago and I still haven’t scheduled an appointment. I’m so scared that it won’t work. I’ve never had my blood drawn and I feel like I need to be fully knocked out in order to do it. How strong is 2mg of lorazepam (for someone who has never taken it)? Do you think it will be enough?

I’ve been bleeding—or really more like brown spotting. It’s only fresh blood sometimes—for 45 days straight. I was having some minor headaches and then one day it turned into minor cramps which made me feel nauseous and I threw up. I went to the gyno and she did a swab and didn’t see anything abnormal and said everything looked fine (with a vaginal exam, not an ultrasound) and told me that sometimes our hormones act up and do weird things. Well it’s been 19 days since that appointment, I’m still “bleeding”, I threw up again after having headaches and migraines for a week, a couple weeks ago it smelled very fishy down there, but then it cleared up on its own, and there’s multiple days where my stomach hurts (and not like cramps cause its not sharp, it’s deep), I feel light headed, and I simply just don’t feel good. The best I can explain it is like I feel really dehydrated all the time (with occasional intense stomach pain days) even though I’m trying to drink so much water.

I have a high pain tolerance, its bearable and I can push through most days, but I can’t accept that this is just my hormones doing normal things. How much longer should I wait before I go to the doctor again? Anyone have similar experiences or thoughts about what’s going on?

Slight backstory info: I’ve been on Nuva Ring for 2 years but I’ve been having brown spotting everyday for about a month. I haven’t had sex since this spotting situation, until last night.

I (23 year old female) had sex with a male partner. I’ve been having brown spotting, but fresh, red blood was present post intercourse. I thought I lost my Nuvaring cause I couldn’t feel it and about 10 minutes later, I felt nauseous and immediately threw up. My Nuvaring ended up getting pushed up really high and while I was struggling to pull it down lower, a good amount of blood came out.

I just went to the doctor and she did a pelvic exam and didn’t see anything wrong. Says the spotting can be just the fun of being a woman sometimes and who knows why I threw up, but I feel like this is weird. Maybe there was a blood clot? Maybe my ring getting pushed so far up made me nauseous? Anyone have similar experiences or thoughts?
