Courses: Anatomy + Lab, Physiology + Lab, General Chemistry 2 + Lab, and Biology 2 + Online Lab.
Looking for genuine advice, I have no other options this semester in order to graduate on time so I can’t change any of my courses. So pls share tips for how to handle such a heavy course and lab load because I’m crashing out already. Thanks :)
Hi! I’m planning to apply to Optometry schools for the Fall 2028 semester, but I genuinely have no idea when apps generally open, when to take the OAT, etc etc.
Can someone share some insights on when to start studying for the OAT/taking the OAT, and really anything to do with applications because I am so lost. Thanks :))
I just got my first IUD inserted like 2 hours ago, and since then I’ve been in immense pain. When I got my clothes back on after the insertion, I literally fell to the floor crying because I couldn’t even keep moving since my legs felt so heavy and weak. They gave me 800mg ibuprofen, but it’s done nothing.
It’s still like that and the cramping has just got like 10x worse, especially when I try to move. Waves of dizziness hit me anytime I try to walk around. I’m also bleeding a lot, not like spotting, like I’m on my period.
Is this normal? I can’t call the office because they are now closed, so I’d appreciate any advice as I feel awful. Thanks in advance.
To start, I (F) am straight (relevant later on) and my therapist has been floating the idea that I have BPD for a few weeks now.
I have a favorite person; I’ve known her for maybe 8 years now and she is probably my only friend due to my intense insecurities ruining other relationships. Lately, she started to respond to my texts later and she stopped taking initiatives to text me without me prompting it. This lead to some harsh reactions such as just a pit in the stomach feeling, depression, guilt, pure emptiness, spending lots of money, and crashing out, but anytime she would text back it would all disappear, just completely forgotten, for those few moments of interaction. My body is in survival mode due to her seemingly “abandoning” me.
We had a conversation about it and she said she would never do that intentionally to me and she has just been so busy she couldn’t text back like normal. She is now responding faster and texting me without me prompting her too, but for some reason it’s not enough. My reactions after that just got worse despite her literally trying to relieve the anxiety. I’m stalking her socials, being jealous over other people she talks to, counting seconds till she responds, throwing up, and so much more that I am ashamed to even admit. This has never happened to me before, I never realized how much I was clinging to her like a lifeline.
It’s gotten to the point that I am honestly seeing myself being gay just for her to never leave me (she is gay btw). I’m not even attracted to women, but for some reason I have convinced myself that, for her, I could be. I’m deeply concerned about my actions and how I feel because I don’t want to pressure her with my issues and I don’t want to have her actually leave me. I just see online all the time that FP’s deal with a lot being an FP and it hurts me to think of even putting her through that.
Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with this?
