Maybe we should just toss this over to the teenagers... you know, let the kids from those vocational high schools tell us how they actually view the prep school crowd!🤣
I mean, I guess it should be pretty efficient, right? Maybe the actual performance might end up being a little underwhelming, but honestly, anything is better than nothing at all, I suppose.🤷 just give it a shot.
I mean, there’s definitely an effect there, I think. It just seems like you'd need to wrap it in something else to actually mask the taste.🤣 I'm honestly sitting here wondering how one would even pull that off!
I don't know... I guess I’d only consider taking my own life if things became truly, utterly unbearable. The whole situation described in this post seems kind of manageable to me, honestly. You're unhappy, you lack direction, you're just drifting through life feeling like nothing matters... I've definitely been in those kinds of spots before, but even then, I feel like I'd need a much more intense catalyst to actually end it all.
I mean, I honestly think they hit the nail on the head when they mentioned anxiety. As far as Crohn's goes, you’ve already had a colonoscopy, so that should pretty much rule it out for now—unless, I guess, you wanted to go through the whole ordeal again just to be absolutely certain. 🤷 I actually know this woman, a friend of a friend really, who was dealing with almost identical symptoms for months on end. It got so bad that her doctors were basically stumped and ended up hospitalizing her because they couldn't figure out what was going wrong. Every single test came back totally normal. It turns out, after all that, they finally sent her to a psychiatrist. She started some medication, and then, pretty much like magic, she was feeling fine after maybe two or three weeks. Now, I'm not saying that's definitely your situation, but people really do tend to underestimate how much the mind can mess with the body. 😛
So, I guess it’s pretty normal for things to feel more intense or heavy while you're actually on the toilet, if you know what I mean. For me, my period flow definitely seems to pick up right then. It probably just comes down to the pressure from... well, doing your business, pressing against the uterus or the vagina or whatever it is, which I suppose just pushes more blood out.🤷 And honestly, I deal with those little spots of blood in my discharge between periods too. It usually happens most often right around ovulation time.
I don't think I’ve ever actually seen anyone get picked on just because of their name, though I have definitely witnessed kids getting teased for being too skinny, overweight, wearing glasses, or even if their family didn't have much money or anything. So, I guess, generally speaking, I don't really see how a name itself messes with someone's head. I mean, unless it was something totally bizarre or just plain hideous, it probably wouldn't matter all that much.🤣
vividsailor7 said:That really depends on what you're actually looking for. Could you be a bit more specific?
Well, just about everything, I guess.🤣
So, my blood work, urine tests, stool samples, EKG, heart ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray, thyroid hormones and antibodies, liver enzymes, TB testing, plus CMV and EBV... I'm probably forgetting something... but basically, I've been running a fever up to 100°F for about a month now.🤷 And apparently, everything comes back totally normal.
I’m guessing I might be the only one dealing with this particular mess, but who knows, right?🙄 I’ve tried to kick Helix off my routine about four different times now, and every single time, it’s the same story—around day three or four after stopping, I just get hit with this fever, plus the diarrhea and nausea. It’s honestly pretty brutal. The longest I ever managed to stick it out was maybe three weeks, but even during those three weeks, things didn't really start looking up. If anything, it felt like my temperature just kept climbing higher and higher. So, eventually, I’d just give in and start taking it again, and after a couple of days, I’d feel like myself again.🤷
Has anyone here ever tried getting off Xanax, and if so, what was that experience actually like for you? I don't take much, just a tiny 0.25mg daily dose, but somehow I'm already on day three since I stopped and I’m starting to get these really intense stomach cramps. It feels like it might be my only symptom so far, I guess.🤷
It’s probably just some kind of yeast infection or something, I guess, but honestly, if that were the case, I feel like the itching would be everywhere, not just localized to my clit.🤣
I guess I was just wondering if anyone else deals with a slightly higher body temp during their period? It’s been like that for my last three cycles, at least.🤷

The most frustrating part is that I am more than capable of working. I love interacting with people, I'm responsible, and I've never had a single complaint about my performance. I haven't even taken a single day of sick leave or vacation yet. But obviously, that doesn't matter here.🙄 For the record, the job was at a retail gallery.
Well, let them "evaluate" you then.🤣
I mean, how is a doctor even supposed to come up with a diagnosis if you don't actually tell them how you're feeling and all that?🤷 I guess you're probably expected to know what to say and what to keep to yourself, right?
