As the title states…I’m in university pursing a degree in biology. I’m really interested in forensic science/mortuary/all the detectivey science stuff haha. Anyone have a job in this field, job recommendations, or any opportunities that are good?
I just got 2 gold plated bracelets and I’m wondering how long they last bc I love them haha. What are some ways to make them longer and if I shower with them how much will that change the lasting period?

I’m going on my first vacation with my bf in a few days (flying to another part of the country), pls send some cute insta captions for the vaca post!! We’re going to visit my family, the area is summery and warm.
Hello, exactly as the title says…I’m travelling soon and want to know that if I do have a stomach bug or throw up or feel really nauseous for whatever reason on the plane/trip it’ll be okay. I feel like the world is ending when I’m nauseous and I don’t know how I can deal with that if I’m on the plane/on the trip.
Hello! I am going on a trip next week and am anxious about getting sick. I especially don’t want to be sick in the airport, and it would suck being sick while seeing my family. If it does happen any tips or anything to help? Thank you!
Debating if I want kids (leaning towards no), big part of it is being pregnant, please tell me things that could happen and your experience!
I know I am too young to have children/be thinking about this anyways (19F) but I’m so confused about how I should be feeling. I really don’t know if I want kids in the future and it’s messing with my head.
Growing up I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted children. Now that I’m an adult, it’s changed. I’m feeling more against the idea everyday. I value my personal time and love free time so I know I wouldn’t have that if I had children. Waking up at 3 am to fix vomit bedsheets sounds like hell to me, and having no sleep especially for the first few years is not appealing. This may sound horrible but I get “over” new things fast, even if I’m really excited beforehand, which makes me nervous that will happen for a baby. And a baby isn’t just something I can switch like clothes or a job.
I also babysit and just being with the child for 3 hours makes me want to rip my hair out. She’s not a bad child I just get so bored and want to do something else. I don’t know how parents do it. I love children I just don’t know if I want my own.
I also don’t want to sacrifice my body and my time and my life for someone else. I know that’s terrible to say but it’s true. I don’t want to be someone’s maid and always tend to them even after a long day at work. I don’t want to have to always be worrying about someone else (I have anxiety) and I don’t want to prepare dinners and clean all the time. I want to be able to go on lots of vacations and dates with my partner.
I want to be free to go on vacations and have money to do fun things. I see videos all the time on Instagram about how parents are always looking forward to their next child-free day. I just think why have a child if you only look forward to not seeing it?
On the other hand, raising a child and loving something I created sounds so beautiful. Knowing I could have such a good impact on a child and raise them to be kind and caring sounds so special. Knowing my partner and I created something so beautiful is so amazing.
I just feel like if I don’t have a child in the future I’ll be missing out. Like waking up on Christmas morning and giving presents to a child sounds so amazing. I’m scared I’m going to regret not doing it. I love children and they’re so cute and amazing. I know I’d be a good mother I just don’t know if I’d be happy.
My boyfriend is amazing and we always talk about our future. He says he won’t leave me no matter what I choose because he loves me more than that. He will stay with me if I want a child or if I don’t. So no one is pressuring me besides myself. Help wanted!!

I get so sad from my anxiety, I feel like this is never going to change, I’m going to ruin my life from this, I’m being dramatic for nothing.
I can’t be normal, I always wait for the next bad thing to happen, I waste moments because I’m always worrying. It’s so draining and I’m so sad. Please help. I see a therapist and it’s gotten a lot better but it’s still draining and exhausting.

Growing up I’ve always thought I wanted them. Like I always think about what it be like to have a child and care for someone and raise them to be a good human being and give them gifts like I love to treat people and like see them happy for things I do for them.
On the other hand, I don’t think I’m committed to do all the work that comes with being a parent like I don’t want to be woken up at 6 o’clock in the morning to have breakfast. I don’t want to have to deal with tantrums and everything.
Like I want to love a child I want to nurture them and know that I made a difference in their life, but I also don’t know and I’m scared that I’m not gonna have children and regret it one day. Like I also wanna go on vacation and I want to enjoy life and I don’t know. I just don’t know if I want them or not. It’s hard to tell. I also don’t want to push out a baby like I already have anxiety and endometriosis and I don’t want that to get worse. I don’t think I could care for someone with that because I’m always so anxious but I also want kids like I don’t know what to think.
Hey everyone. I’ve been doing a job for the past 3 years, and I really enjoy it (sometimes) like the people I help are great, my bosses are just terrible. Like they’re not helpful and never get back to me. And they think it’s my fault for things when it’s not, when they should have fixed these things. I want to switch jobs or like work at the job I am less. Is that a good idea? I’m also kinda in trouble at the job I am now and I don’t have the energy to deal with all of this again.
Hi, just got diagnosed with endometriosis. For context I haven’t had a period in a few months bc of the medication I’m on for endometriosis.
When I go #2 sometimes I get cramps like I normally would on my period, but no blood. It’s not stomach cramps it’s back cramps, like cramps I get on my period. Is this an endo thing? I also have stomach issues to begin with, but this pain when going #2 is new.
Yesterday I essentially got the diagnosis for endometriosis. Obviously that crushed me, even though I knew there was something wrong.
I told my parents about it. They both felt bad, but said some things that were weird…idk if I’m just in my head but I got really upset and angry.
My mom: “I am not dismissing your feelings, but everyone has something.”
My dad: “well, remember your grandma had it way worse than you.”
They’re normally good people but this just didn’t sit right with me. Like they always provide for me and give me a great life, and are putting me through university. Like they’re good parents besides this, so it’s so odd for me to think about this. I feel so guilty thinking this way.
I talked to my mom after and she did the typical mom thing and said “I was just trying to help” and I told her “well, that didn’t help so I’m telling you not to say that please” and she’s like “I went out and got you all of these things at the store to help I don’t appreciate being argued with”. My mom keeps asking me how I’m doing and I just say “good” because I don’t want to talk to her about this again, like she sent a very nice text.
I didn’t talk to my dad because I knew it would be pointless, he never changes his mind.
Now I’m just sitting here really sad because why are they like that? Like endometriosis is a full body disease, and just because lots of women have it, it doesn’t mean it’s not valid?
My mother always does the “I work so hard for you/do you know how hard I work” whenever I have a valid argument I’m upset about and turns my words against me and makes her the victim (especially when she gets a little tipsy). My dad is the typical “you can push through anything” guy (big sports guy when he was younger, got lots of injuries), so he gets mad when I say I can’t do things bc of period cramps. They think I’m “fine” because the medication I’m on for endo is working so I’m not in active pain. My mom had a pretty bad health scare a few years ago so maybe they think nothing compares to that? I don’t know.
It makes me so mad because I can never be in the right and I can’t just ignore my mom and my dad because I live with them and I will be for a few more years until I’m done school. I have a good support system with my bf and my friends but I’m so upset I can’t lean into my family.
I feel like I’m in the middle ground - like my parents are not bad people at all, but do things that aren’t good sometimes. I don’t know what to feel.
Also, I’ve anxiety since forever, and just got formally diagnosed about a year ago with generalized anxiety disorder. My mom was better with it because she knew what anxiety was like but my dad was soooo against it. Like he just thought I was being dramatic. Eventually he got better and warmed up to it I guess, but I still don’t say therapy when I say I have an appointment, I say I have counselling.
BUT when my brother needed an accommodation at school because of his height (he couldn’t fit in the desks lol for exams) my dad was more than happy to get my brother diagnosed with “anxiety” so he could have his own desk in another location for exams. Like seriously.
What should I think about this? Are they emotionally immature?
