i 27F am getting a breast MRI later this month. when i was making the appointment, they asked if im claustrophobic and i said yes and they brushed over it lol. anything i can do to calm my anxiety? i am on anti anxiety medication that might help.

i’m also nervous about the contrast dye (afraid of needles). i plan to let the tech know beforehand

also would love to know if anyone in this sub with permanent jewelry has ever had an MRI. i’m just not sure how to remove it without damaging it.

does anyone remember the 7:15 ashton fanfic on wattpad. i am rereading it before my show tomorrow as it was my fav fanfic of all time!! i haven’t seen anyone post about it here so figured i asked. i studied film in school and would love to write this as a screenplay lol!!!

i haven’t seen anyone else talking about this site so figured i’d share. i saw a tiktok about veganjobs.com and it’s exclusively for vegans! you can apply for anything from jobs at local vegan restaurants to remote work for non profits. there are volunteer opportunities too. i literally have an interview with happy cow tomorrow! as someone who wants to do work she’s passionate about, this is a good resource :)

has anyone else gotten a rash/hives from lamictal? i recently went up to 100mg and have had 2 severe rashes. I went to urgent care for the first one and they basically told me to f off. the rashes happen sporadically. i took an antihistamine and it seemed to help. i don’t want to stop lamictal bc i think it does help my symptoms. just wanted to see how common the rash is. tyia

have you established your photography business on google? i’m interested in doing so so my clients can leave reviews. the verification process requires a video of your business, the example being a brick and mortar. i thought about just sending them a video of my website/gear etc., just wanted to see if that’s worked for anyone else

i have always almost passed out over getting my blood drawn. it’s not the pain aspect, i have gotten an IUD inserted and am getting some tattoos removed with lasers so i know i can handle pain! it’s the idea of the needle going into the vein and taking blood that makes me lightheaded. i haven’t gotten bloodwork done in almost 4 years because of this (i can already see the comments, yes i know that’s not good or healthy). what do you do to relax yourself during blood work?
