LOL, exactly. It's like gah, get your perky-ness away from me! I'm too much of a cynic for those kinds of responses. I get that they mean well but, eh.

Yep---generally anything metal----double check with them but that's standard. Some metal objects are magnetic and will get pulled by the machine but some of them just block the area being imaged etc....

In high school once during spirit week a cheerleader tried to sit with my group "to help us cheer louder" at some point she realized this was not an effective tactic and went back to her friends.

I'm seeing a gp about my scars tomorrow. I hope she's sympathetic rather than an arsehole about it. Some people have been horrible about them

i swear.

both my parents are alcoholics. but ive never heard my dad said he wanted to distance himself from me for forever. my mom said she was gonna "teach me a lesson and leave me". i was so upset and crying my eyes out.

today WAS good. now its turned very very very awful. this is usually why i dont hang around my mom. because something like this seems to ALWAYS happen. she says hurtful things to me.
I know that you don't want to hear this, but you need to work on setting boundaries with your mother to stop behaviour like this. You don't have to put up with behaviour like that

That sucks Does the injection help your anxiety at all?

Thanks! I'm nervous, but also sort of looking forward to it a bit. We leave tomorrow.

Glad the meds help. Maybe try setting a reminder on your phone if you don't want to forget again?

I'm glad it's going well so far, but I'm worried that you're looking at it in terms of succeed/failure. Having a 'bad day' doesn't make you a failure

I can empathise with that StarStrike - people just dismiss stuff as being "delusional" when it's very much real :/

I still don't think it's helpful to think in terms of failure. My brother dropped out of uni twice before he figured out what he really wanted to do, and now he's finishing his 2nd year part-time and getting firsts. I sometimes view leaving medschool as a failure, but actually it was a very brave decision to make to refuse to mould myself into the person they wanted me to be, and viewing it as a failure is just a stick to beat myself with.

@Newtus: I don't think it's easy to set boundaries with anyone if you've never done it before. I know that I struggle with it. Are you still seeing the T? Boundaries would be an excellent thing to discuss with her i.e. how to implement them with your mother.

thats the problem. i have no friends in real life so no one to talk to. so i talk to her sometimes. but i think your right i need to spend less time with her. shes going on vacation for a week so thats a good start.

You know we were in lab meeting today and the owner of my bosses journal this landes guys who owns a whole series of medical/scientific journals just sold them all she said he was originally in med school and dropped out because something just struck him wrong and he didn't want to do it. So he's super rich now and moving on from the 30 or so journals he owns to some new company involved in growing organs. I have no idea if it will work out but it seems that the people who are most successful don't always follow the flow. I mean think of all these tech entrepreneurs who dropped out of even college to start their businesses. The world is just not what it used to be and so I agree with you that it was brave to forge your own path...

Man I was doing better, then things came up...had to take a risperdal. I'm so sick of this bp. It's exhausting dealing with paranoia, PTSD and bp. They feed off each other. I'm still slowly increasing up to a therapeutic dose for my mood stabilizer...ugh!!
