I’m 20 and I just transferred to a college about 2 hours away from my hometown and care team, I have reliable transportation and family that would drive to pick me up and bring me straight there if I were to get my call for liver transplant. I’ve been listed for 6 months now, but listed low. My daily symptoms are nausea, low appetite, migraines, low oxygen after walking long distances and abdominal pain. The biggest thing is that I cannot get sick. I had a cold or maybe it’s allergies the other day and I disinfected everything but once I’m around people again my runny nose comes back. I’ve gotten immune support vitamins and wash my hands frequently. I’m not sure what else I can take or do to not get sick because I cannot get sick when I get my call. Im looking for advice and please do not tell me that I’ve made ambitious ridiculous plans because that’s not realistic. My college is in state, close to home, doctors and my care team. If I needed to be there in 2 hours I could be immediately and have family more than willing to pick me up and drive me back. I’ve already went all this way to enjoy my life and not put it on hold just because I’m waiting on a transplant. When the time for surgery comes then I’ll have the surgery and come back when it’s all over and I’m completely recovered. I just want to know how to keep my immune system up! Luckily I live in an apartment and have my own room,bathroom and closet, so I’m not in a dorm, but I do have roommates. I have dreams and goals and I work too despite all my transplant stuff. I understand it’s important but I can’t dwell on it and pause my life when I’m doing okay right now, I’m not very sick I do the normal things, just can’t be getting colds a lot. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!!

I’m 20. I’m currently on the waitlist for a liver transplant unfortunately. I have non cirrhosis liver disease portal hypertension, a history of esophageal varices , anemia and enlarged spleen. I recently got an iud about a month ago since birth control wasn’t working for me and my care team recommended iud since it’s lower risk of clotting when the time of transplant arrives. I have had my period now for 2 weeks! I’m still bleeding everyday and it’s making me exhausted and in some pain! I also had a fever a couple weeks ago and then was congested the past couple of days. Not sure what to do. I just went back to school for the year and I just don’t feel good and i need to figure out what to do!!

My ex reached out a couple months ago apologizing for how things ended and we agreed to try again. We have been talking and saw each other at a gathering a couple weeks ago, we then decided to hang out one on one a few days ago. We did, and it was awkward. I was nervous and it was hard to tell if he was nervous or not, therefore I didn’t bring up any deep conversations or feelings and left the conversation pretty surface level. We chatted the next day and he said he had a nice time but didn’t feel a connection bc there weren’t any meaningful conversations had during the time we hung out. I didn’t want to put that pressure on him immediately or push any boundaries so I didn’t. So now he’s decided it is best for us to stay friends because he was going to take some time to think about it, but I knew it would end the same way it did last time when we ended up breaking up. I just left for college and yes I probably should move on but I don’t know if I can accept being his friends after having feelings and sort of an attachment to him. Why is he offering to be friends, rather than keep hanging out and bring up those “meaningful” conversations naturally? I don’t understand. I feel like my time was wasted and now I’m just disappointed because I didn’t bring up any meaningful conversations and that’s why it didn’t turn into anything further.

A past lover and I have started communicating again recently. This person isn’t someone who texts a lot and I imagine is a busy person. We’ve been together in the past and the texts were kind of like this. They reached out to me recently and we discussed how things ended and figured we will try again but take it easy. Recently over the last few days we’ve been texting more I think they haven’t been super busy. Today they stated they were busy and apologized for it, asked how I was, I responded and asked how their day was. They left me on read. It’s been a few hours now and I’m not sure if they are just busy or are no longer interested. They stopped responding to me a couple weeks ago after we had talked for about a week, but when I striked up a conversation they ended up responding and we’ve been talking ever since. So this has happened already but last time I was left on delivered, and when I reached out again it went well. Today is different I was left on read. Not sure if im reading into it too much or not. It seems that they are interested since they reached out after no contact but it’s difficult to tell. My thought is they are being cautious a second time around and so am I, so things are being taken slow.

Me and this girl have been best friends for years. Ever since she went away to college things have changed. She is always canceling plans on me last minute and it feels like she doesn’t value my time. This has become a habit and when we do end up hanging out she changes the time to way late in the day and still shows up over an hour late to hangout. I brought it up to her because she did it once again a few days ago when we planned to hangout, this past Thursday and I checked with her the day before early in the morning and she didn’t respond until late that night just to cancel again.

This is what i said

idk i just feel like whenever we have plans it’s always getting canceled the last minute and it’s just rly disrespectful like it feels like you don’t respect my time, whether it’s cancelling plans or delaying the time to way later in the day. there’s been times where i wait all day then it just gets canceled and it makes me rly upset and disappointed

This was her response

i had some last min things come up this week that i truly wasn’t planning on and it wasn’t to be disrespectful or anything. im sorry u feel that way. my cousin is leaving for school this wknd and my brother and cousins wanted to do this sleepover at my grandparents since he’s leaving soon for the rest of the year. i had no idea it was gonna be this week and i didn’t want to cancel and not be there yk. and on sat i had told my mom abt the nail salon catastrophe situation from two weeks ago and my nails had been falling apart bc they didn’t do it right and before i knew it she had made an appt for me w her nail lady and i didn’t want to tell her to cancel it after she had gone back and forth w this lady abt how to fix my nails and blah blah blah and finally getting to fit me in or ruin her reputation there by cancelling bc it is a smaller salon, they know everyone and my mom was offering to pay for it for me. i didn’t plan on any of this to happen like if i had known i would’ve said something earlier. i just obviously work most days so my schedule can be crazy and inconvenient. i want to go to oakbrook with u asap but my days off are weird yk, we could go sat it would just be later so idk if it’s convenient or not lmk. i’m no trying to be disrespectful in any way my schedule can just be crazy sometimes

I just started taking Qulipta for migraines after being on Emgality injection for a couple years. I feel like the Qulipta is helping but last night I had a really weird experience when sleeping, which I’m pretty sure is insomnia, and then this morning I was constipated and super nauseous. I’ve been taking it at night , should I take it in the morning instead to help with the insomnia or constipation? I have a fiber supplement I’m going to try for the constipation.

My ex reached out a couple weeks ago stating they are sorry for what happened and how the relationship ended and agreed to talk and take things slow. This person and i have been talking but their responses have been spaced out throughout the days and now it’s been over a day since I’ve heard from them.

I feel like I pushed them away bc I doubled texted one time, I sent more than one snap bc they weren’t responding. They still follow me on all socials and are matched with me on the dating app but I haven’t heard much since yesterday and nothing today. I try to keep my distance and not show too much emotion.

Hi, I’m 20F, I’ve been on Emgality for a year and a half and the injection has been causing me a lot of anxiety and panic. I got switched over to Qulipta, and I received it today. Not sure what to expect and what time to take it? I hear it can cause nausea and drowsiness but I’m just going to be home relaxing all day so I’m not sure if I should take it or wait until I go to bed.

I have been on the list for about 4 months at this point. For background I was very healthy all my life , had surgeries at birth and one day I randomly got sick in 2023 at the age of 17. I was immediately rushed then airlifted to one of the top children’s hospital in the state, where I currently see my liver team at. I was diagnosed with anemia, enlarged spleen, esophageal varices and portal hypertension back in 2023. In 2025 I was also diagnosed with hepatapulmonary syndrome. My family and I were told about transplant back in December and decided to move forward as we didn’t want me to get even worse as time went on. I recently had an appointment with my surgeon and was told that there’s another patient who is on the list but has a healthy liver. He explained to us that me and this patient are the best fit and that it may be a possibility of me getting their liver when they get their call for surgery. I’m in college and have plans to transfer to university this fall. Being on the waitlist has taken a toll on my mental health, I recently left my job and started working somewhere else and feel that my employer made a huge deal out of it but I’m going through a lot right now, I was also dating someone that randomly broke up with me as he felt way too much a burden on me and that I deserve so much better. I’m scared for transplant I almost start crying every time I think about it because I feel like no one understands and I want to be able to enjoy my life. I’m 20 years old and I just want to know how this all started it was all so sudden and random and I just don’t understand. The next sign for worsening of my liver is ascites that’s what my doctor said and I’m just scared I don’t know how I o know when that or if it will happen. I feel like I’m struggling in other areas like school because I’m so anxious about transplant and my family seems disappointed in me because of my grades I just feel so stressed all the time.

I’m taking fundamentals of chemistry and my final is the acs exam. Anyway I can prepare and practice for the exam? I’m not sure if I’ll be taking a fundamentals ACS or a general chem ACS exam

Hello. I am a sophomore in college and im currently taking a fundamentals of chemistry course it’s Chem 100. I m struggling. The class is 3 hours long , 5 credits twice a week and the professor has an accent, goes very fast, doesn’t give us much to practice with. Her exams are nothing like the materiel i studied. Maybe I haven’t been studying enough or correctly or idk??? I have failed all of the exams in this course but I do well on the homework and decent on the labs. Last week we had our last exam before the final and I felt so prepared or so I thought. I studied days before and the entire day before I took the exam at night and I think this exam was the lowest F I’ve gotten out of the exams in this course. I’m definitely doing something wrong but this professor makes me feel like im drowning. Everyone else has a higher grade but not me. I’m enrolled to start general chem at my university in the fall and need to know how to go into it with good study habits that can help me succeed. I also need to do well in the fina coming up in this course. For reference I see a tutor a few times a week and im going to be majoring in biological sciences in my university. I’m so stuck in this class though, I want to go into the healthcare field as it’s my dream and I have personal experience with it. I really need some help. I have about 14 days to study for the final and I need to do well. I just get to the exam and freak out because I get so stressed and nervous. Any help , study tips and advice is appreciated. I’m not looking to go into another major btw, I’ve already made that decision. Science and math is difficult for me, I need to get better and learn how to understand and practice it on my own without looking at my notes.
