Appreciate any feedback. I just want to write and I have no one to guide me. Thanks for your time.

Hello peeps,

If you’re like me, with hard hitting loneliness and scrolling through this community to see if anyone feels the same as you. Hear this out! You’re not alone!

It’s been a couple years, where when I’m not busy, or without people, I have this sinking loneliness, that I’m
unable to explain, But also at the same time, when I’m with people, I feel lonely too.
I was recently diagnosed with AuADHD, Depression and PTSD.

Everyday I wake up saying today, I’m going to put some effort Friday, to do something that I love, to keep reminding myself the joy of life. I hope you’re all trying to do the same too. I sometimes look at happy people pictures and wonder what am I lacking, is it community, is it sunlight, genuine family or friends. It’s never easy.

I had to live alone for 4 months now. Though I felt lonely, due to depression, I went days without stepping out or seeing people, constantly doomscrolling, unaware of time, hunger, sleep. But I was determined everyday to wake up and change the day and still couldn’t do it.

The fiery motivation doesn’t seem to be there. I try to take sunlight, I move, u do bunch of hobbies, but everything is lacking something. And again, I deep down know that I’m not alone and many are in the same boat.

I feel you all. I feel that deep void that you’re all going through. The sharp incomprehensible heaviness in the chest. The gray surround you. I can feel it deep down within me, just like you. Put a small smile on your face, with the thought that you’re not alone in this.

So this is for all of you. Let’s wake up tomorrow and let’s do one thing that makes us laugh. Please share me your thoughts and if someone wants to DM or chat. I’m in too.

Let’s try to find the joy of life, alone or with people. Let’s do it. Let’s keep fighting this. Day by day. Breath by breath.

Who’s with me??

I’m thinking to create a post every day for a week, to at least remind myself of one thing that me smile today. Does anyone wanna join me? And add your one thing in the comments? We could do this for a week? What say??

Hello, to all the witches out there. A little background about me. I was born a Hindu, but for some reason, I never vibed with Hinduism, questioned a lot of things and there was no satisfaction.

I was an atheist for a very long time, but I’ve always lived with an open mind. About 6 years ago, I came across an article about witchcraft, which kinda fascinated me and challenged my understanding about witches, especially after seeing a tonne of movies, which portrays witches differently.

I got curious and went down the rabbit hole, understood what it means, and loved reading everything about witchcraft. Followed some social media profiles and all the information started to get overwhelming. I dismissed my thoughts, as I didn’t have anyone to talk about or have a conversation. I sometimes caught myself defending witches when people say incorrect things about them.

But, every couple years, something reminds or pulls me back to it and I can’t explain what. But, I feel calm whenever I think or read about it. I would like to add something here - I have a very heightened sense of intuition and 80% of the time, I get flashes before things happen, or I know what’s going on with others, their thoughts and they almost always turn out to be true.

I was also recently diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, and being a neurodivergent, I thought that I was undergoing a psychosis episode with every witchcraft obsession. But, honestly, witchcraft thought have been helpful and calming. I tend to care for myself more during these times and enjoy being alone to reflect of my thoughts.

I think I want to get into witchcraft, but I’m scared of doing wrong rituals and worried things may be come worse. Being neurodivergent, I like things to be practical for me. I want to see someone do things and learn. It’s sad that these days, in this modern world, people laugh at these things and the real ones practise behind curtains. I really wish I could have a conversation with someone in person, talk about thoughts. Understand this. Why am I being pulled again and again?

I appreciate if you have any answers or suggestions for me. Thank you ✨✨

P.S. I’m more drawn towards animals and nature. I think I may be a green witch. But I don’t know yet.
Also, few people reached out asking for money, I guess a scam in Reddit and Instagram.

Looking for a good electrolysis spot in London. Experienced with any skin color. Good reviews and can be trusted

I’m seeing mysteries of sleep may be good and easy for tough programs, is that true that it doesn’t have much load? And, am also wondering how is Science in the News, Korean Culture and General Philosophers?? I’m in a very tough program and my electives needs to be last thing that I need to worry about.
Honestly, I may not even have the time to worry about them. So please suggest your best courses.
Thanks!

Hello,

I’m asking this for a friend. Im 33F, out of country and I’m hoping that this sub can help me out as, I don’t know what options are available in India.

My friend is in her early thirties, divorced single mom with a 5 year old son and she is working. She is constantly exhausted with the home and work routine and I really feel bad for her. I’m sure you can all understand the pressure to raise the child alone, while working and taking care of house chores as well.

She lives with her mom, and the situation isn’t that great. Mom is a bit controlling and could sometimes be narcissistic, so it’s an added pressure obviously.

I feel bad for her as I’m unable to do much out of country and I don’t really know what options are available for such people there to get a break. Somehow in all this she lost in touch with friends and she doesn’t even have many friends there. Nobody that she can hangout with even once in a while. She always has to work or look after her kid, as the mom complains if she tries to take a break.

I suggested joining some club/class with her kid, so she can have some sort of a community or friends. She has also been planning to move out for a couple of years now, but it’s kinda hard, being more alone, worried that that kid might be lonely, if she would be able to manage everything, expenses, chores, school.

I feel extremely bad. What do you have for her?? I feel she also needs to live life. I keep giving her suggestions and I feel that I’m not really helping.

Edit: Friend is in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Sorry forgot to add in the post.

Something urged me to rewatch all the Fast and Furious movies. Started with 1 and had a goooood feeling. Being a 90s kid, it was like dammmmnnn! It was a classic for 2001.

Just finished 8th today. What a fucking cringe, there is 0 authenticity. They just wanna keep hyping up characters (based on their contracts I guess). “Oh watch these two, it’s gonna be interesting” about Tej and Ramsey.
“Oh That’s Dom” “There’s Dom”. He knows everything and better, blah blah blah.

I wanna go back to “Pop the hood”
“You owe me a 10 second car”
“He’s a buster”
“Let’s go get some cars”

They should have stopped.

It’s sad that Paul Walker had to leave us. Doesn’t feel the same.

P.S. when I was watching the first movie, I literally felt like the golden rays were all upon me along with the sound of the dove. That level of nostalgia!

Hi, I’m a current student coming back for my third term. Going through my electives list and I’m really intrigued by this course. Has anyone ever taken this before or is anyone planning to take this? What do you think about this course? It just looks very interesting to me.

Hi,

I’ve got someone’s birthday tomorrow. I want a good small sized cake. Do you know anyone who can take a one day notice for pickup tomorrow noon?

Thanks!

I was someone who used to sleep even if the whole world came down. No alarms can wake me up. This was in my 20s.
Now comes early 30s, I finish my meal at 5:30, get to bed only to toss and turn for couple hours, no sleep. I start feeling hungry, so I grabbed something very light to eat. Sit for about 30 minutes and head again. I feel sleepy mildly but then it just suddenly vanishes and am wide awake again.
Tossing and tossing and tossing again!

Oh, and I tried to keep my phone in the other room for a few days. Still didn’t work. Even took chamomile tea. Still didn’t work. After about like six hours of trying to sleep, I now came to the phone.

I guess it’s insomnia. My family doctor gave me pills, but I just don’t wanna take them. I sometimes try to exhaust myself enough to sleep. Currently, I’m not doing much just waking up cooking eating chilling.Is it because of that?

Damn!! I miss the feeling of sleep. That feeling once you hit the hay. I don’t know. I miss sleep.

I tried to tap / rock myself to sleep. Nothing helps. I got a fan, comfy blanket and sometimes a cold pillow and bedsheets. Nothing helps!

Any advise or suggestions anyone?

RTs, how was your overall experience with the CBRC exam today? How did you all do?

Hello,

I have booked a trip for late August to Newfoundland. My ferry is reaching on a Sunday evening 6:30/7 PM, starting from Nova Scotia at 12:15 PM.
I have a reservation at Gros Morne National Park that same night.

I forgot about the 30 minute time difference.
I have done plenty of night drives, but I just wanna make sure that this drive would be doable, which is almost 4 hours, and I believe it will be dark.

Thank you!

Edit: Not driving to GM for the night! Camping nearby after reaching the island and driving the next day. Made all the alterations. Thank you all. 🙌🏼

Hello fellow SRTs, GRTs and RRTs

Just to pick your brains for a moment here. What did you guys do as a student RT during your summer breaks? I am currently on one, no prior healthcare experience, or any sort of healthcare degree. Switched from corporate to RT as I was tired of resting myself on a desk whole day.

For what it's worth, just a little background about me!

2 sems down. I guess I am autistic (Will know in a couple days, but all signs are there), so studying wasn't an issue and I was a very quick learner. Spent less time studying, but secured a 4.1 GPA on both sems. I have a different way of remembering things when I study, but I surprised myself with my grades and some of my classmates too, who thought I was dumb during my initial days at class as I didn't know any basic thing. But I took some time to research and understand basics (things even before RT program like basic Chemistry and Anatomy) more than studying the actual content.

Now, they keep saying evidence based practice. How many of you actually spent the time studying articles while at school and how often are you still doing it? Question applies to all 3 RT categories. I just ended up having fun for 2 months in my summer break and I got another 2 more months to kill. But, I am more concerned about becoming a better RT. How often do I need to read articles to advocate for my patients. I know its an accountability that I need to take up for myself, but will I still be a good RT and do you think we can keep learning in the field once I get there. Haven't started placement or anything yet, but I am definitely so scared. I don't want to mess up on any of my patients.

And, will it be a safe place for someone like me, who is different than others, to work at hospitals? How do I make sure that I am a good team player and be a good RT. If I need to start researching articles, where do I start and how do I do it? Is it important that I keep reviewing them? I wanna do what's for my future team members and my future patients. Should I review anything else during the next 2 months or just chill and then grind it from 3rd sem?

Any insight or advice or anything is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone,

Been through so much of physical and emotional abuse since childhood and relocated to a different country at 21. Turned 33 last month and recently been diagnosed with ADHD and maybe ASD, PTSD (from physical abuse) and OCD (It's ongoing diagnosis). I already have 3 degrees and am currently studying a healthcare degree again as the past 4 different careers didn't work. Tired of constantly trying to build something that goes nowhere, and am hoping that this healthcare career will be my final. But I am someone, who believes that everything happens for a reason. So far it's been good and am happy that this will be a physically active job as opposed to my desk jobs prior to this (I think that's why I couldn't get through more than 2 years). Huge passion to keep travelling, which is where most of my money goes.

I want to relocate to a different state after my graduation, placement, and maybe 1or 2 years of work. Most western astrology shows that I am Aquarius Rising, so I will stick to that. Lessons, lessons and lessons!! If I look back, I feel that my whole life has been full of lessons regarding boundaries, discipline, etc. Working on both of them and haven't excelled yet - partly due to ADHD. 5 words about me - Chaos, day dreamer, adventurer, hard worker and empath.

Please share your invaluable knowledge - I am looking to move to a city, grind for at least a decade and then slow down. Not a harsh grind, but eventually want to settle down by buying a new house with my spouse and a coupe of pets. I have three cities in mind - Please recommend and I appreciate your time.

Born and brought up in red - Moved to and currently in blue. Relocation options are purple

Birth Chart

Relocation option 1 - Calgary

Relocation option 1 - Edmonton

Relocation option 3 - Halifax

Relocation option 3 - Fredericton

Hi all,

My surrender certificate got damaged and I’m wondering if that requires a replacement? Anybody’s got any experience before? Appreciate if you can kindly share your experience, please let me know what the process is and the cost?
And does it need to be replaced at all in the first place if damaged? I have my OCI card, which I received a year ago and my foreign passport.

Thank you!

Edit: I spoke to BLS and they said that since I already have my OCI, replacing the surrender certificate may not be required.
