The PMS thing was just a joke—that’s what this 😉 smiley face was actually for!
I totally get those crying fits during my cycle, and honestly, I feel so bloated because of all the water retention, but yeah, that's probably off-topic... 😬
I'm being totally serious with you—you mentioned wanting someone to talk to, so here I am...
All I can really tell you is that you have the power to help yourself, mostly through staying disciplined and working on building up that self-confidence.🙂
wiredharbor22 said:It’s not like I’m depressed all the time. It just hits me in waves. And honestly, these attacks are what really get to me...
Honestly, it might just be PMS issues 😉 If you had actually reached out to a professional for some medical advice, they probably would have sent you straight to a specialist to get your thyroid checked out. And hey, you might actually feel a lot better knowing it’s a physical issue rather than worrying about a mental health diagnosis you think you might have...
By the way, are you drinking much? Or using any other substances?
I mean, how are you even supposed to figure out what’s triggering your headache before you just reach for a pill? Just take an antidepressant and—boom—it'll be gone. It really is that simple. 🙂
Hey, if you're looking for some spiritual guidance, maybe try heading over to a local church and having a heart-to-heart with someone there... 🙂 But honestly—and I mean this in the nicest way possible—medication isn't such a monster that you need to be terrified of it...
Honestly, I’m not entirely sure—things might be looking up today, but looking back? A few years ago, when I sat down with my doctor at the time to ask who I could actually talk to about all this, she suggested checking out the counselor over at the campus health center—they have specialists for learning disabilities, even though my issues weren't really like that! She basically told me that, based on her diagnosis—which mostly involved her asking if I felt a little blue every single day—she could prescribe some mild antidepressants or maybe some sleep aids.🤷
If I were you, my best advice would be to dive into a creative hobby! It really helps build up that sense of self-confidence, you know? And, if this sadness you're feeling is just something that hits you every once in a while, maybe try picking up a self-help book. I know, I know—it sounds totally cheesy—but honestly, it beats just sitting around spiraling in self-pity!
I mean, you could always go see a doctor or just try being a bit more mindful about what you eat... But honestly? My little secret is eating a cucumber right before I head to bed—it works wonders because I wake up without those massive dark circles under my eyes! 🙂
There are certain universities out there that "intentionally" foster that kind of chaotic atmosphere—mostly because they’re totally disorganized and just cram way too many students into their programs... Honestly, if you truly believe you're sick (instead of just realizing you're studying the wrong subject at the wrong school), maybe it’s time to find a new doctor! If your current one hasn't been able to actually help you resolve this by now, it might be worth a change...
If you're looking for the best way to sweeten tea, honey is definitely the winner! Sugar is sugar—it tastes great—but that artificial sweetener stuff? It’s honestly one of the worst things out there, and I don't think anyone should even touch it.
I actually made the biggest mistake of my entire life—and I've been a tea drinker forever—by trying some Natreen recently. We were out of honey, and I only had about half a teaspoon of sugar left, which wasn't nearly enough to actually taste anything. So, I thought, "Why not?" and tossed a packet of Natreen into my black tea. It was absolutely revolting. But the weird part wasn't even the immediate taste—it was about three minutes after I finished the cup that my mouth started watering like crazy, and I had this bizarre, plastic-y sweet aftertaste lingering in my mouth for nearly half the day!
So, we're talking denim—with stretch, without the stretch, just your everyday reliable pair—maybe nothing too fussy, or perhaps something extra fancy with all the bells and whistles (like those decorative pockets or specialized stitching, you know?)—and then there's the fit: skinny, wide-leg, or maybe just a classic straight cut?? There are honestly so many little details you have to weigh up when you're out hunting for the perfect pair of jeans... And I guess the most important question of all—how much are you actually willing to drop on them?
I honestly don't think you were terrorized by some grumpy taxi drivers or airport locals—it sounds more like you just got hit with a massive case of jet lag and now you're feeling the long-term effects of PTSD.
Unless, of course, you're some kind of radical trying to recruit us all to tear down the mainstream pop scene and hand out grenades so we can go "clean up" those "dens of sin." 🙂
But you aren't. Which is why this whole thing is just a waste of breath.
The mainstream pop crowd isn't everywhere, so seriously—relax!
I honestly think my prescription might change $100 within the next six months or so. I'm really not sure though—my dad usually handles buying them for me, so I just have to take his word for it! 🙄
Well, if you're starting to see those white spots on your soft contact lenses, they’re basically toast—you're gonna need a fresh pair. I used to deal with that all the time back when I was still using those cleaning tablets (I think they were RenU, along with the solution), but I finally made the switch to the new Complete formula that doesn't even require the tablets! Honestly, while I was finishing up my last two bottles of solution, I caught an ad for that one specific lens cleaner, but I haven't actually pulled the trigger and tried it yet.
I stick to just two cups a day—one to get me moving in the morning, and then another one somewhere around 5 PM. Honestly, if I had any more than that, I’d be bouncing off the walls!🙂
