I have spent 20 years of my life trying to heal. Ups and downs. I've lost all my 20s and my mid 30s years. I am so sad sometimes. I did my best and my therapists aknowledge It. I got two degrees and stayed alive. I am now in a though moment again. How do you deal with all that you have lost? Sexual experiences, normal university life, normal friendships, nights out, travels? I worked, studied and went to therapy. That's s pretty much what my life has been.

I had a post about this months ago
https://www.reddit.com/PSLF/comments/z23ulc/lost_a_pslf_qualifying_month_from_my_count_afte?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
No real update, except reconsideration request did nothing as far as I can tell.
When I read the legal language, it says you must be working at an eligible employer WHEN you make the payment, but it doesn't say you have to be working there when the due date occurs or during that month. It's just the payment has to be made within 15 days of the due date.
In my example, I made a payment while employed on 8/20 for a 9/4 bill. I was let go from my job on 8/28, but fedloan counted that 9/4 bill as qualifying for PSLF. I didn't regain employment until October the next month.
Mohela now has my loan after consolidation, and the payments temporarily reset to 0. When they brought the payments back, it didn't give me credit for the month I mentioned above. Their reasoning: I didn't work in September so the 9/4 bill didn't count. I called recently and spoke to a supervisor about what to do now... this supervisor told me that you have to be working in the month for it to count. I pushed back, stating I'm looking at the legal language in front of me, and there's no requirement stating that you have to be employed the same month. You just have to be working WHEN you make the payment...
She went ahead and forwarded it somewhere to get approval through the dept of Ed, with the reasoning that Fedloan had documentation that they approved it, and to request it to be reversed based on that. I now have to wait another 90 days.
Am I missing something here? Did the covid waiver change the rules on what payments count so I ended up losing a month from it? The Aidvantage letter stated I wouldn't lose any progress for consolidating.

I am 25 NB and I am with my partner 29 NB We have been together for almost 5 years and we recently had an issue that came to a head a few weeks ago. I have always wanted to try a polyamorous relationship and when we first started dating I brought this up and they said they did not want to be romantic or intimate with anyone but me. I said okay and put that thought behind. But every year I get curious again and I watch my poly friends have so much fun; I get jealous. I am scared I am going to start resenting them but I also feel like this would be a stupid reason to feel resentment about. We’ve talked about it multiple times through out the years and their position stays the same. Which is so valid. We got into an argument recently about it which is why I am writing this post. I enjoy monogamy but I also want to explore that side of myself. I know I will always prioritize her and if she says no I will let it go again and try to forget about it. And to specify this is romantic I want romantic partners.
TDLR: been with my partner for 5 years and I have always wanted a poly relationship but they do not. I need advice

edit: probably not a TBI, but a brain injury none the less so I hope my post is welcome. I feel like I’m at least on the right track and I’d still love feedback :)
Around 14 years ago at the age of 15 I attempted suicide and over dosed on a large but unknown number of Bupropion pills which lead to several tonic-clonic seizures, a coma, and a vegetative state and was hospitalized for about week. I never had any follow up care besides a quick stay in a inpatient psychiatric hospital, and no one told me about any long term side affect or that a brain injury could be a possibility.
After my OD I wasn’t me anymore…Its very difficult gather my thoughts and put them into words, I have a terrible short term memory…I can’t recall most movies, books or events..even if I do remember, I won’t remember any details. I have severe brain fog and depersonalization and it’s incredibly difficult to learn new things as I just don’t retain most information, which has greatly affected my life and my ability to have a job. I also have gaps in my long term memory. I don’t really to think new thoughts either, it’s like my brain has been on repeat for years. I have pretty bad social skills/ anxiety that thankfully have improved but I still struggle with conversations. The first few years after my OD I had a full blown identity crisis because I wasn’t me anymore and it was scary. I also have severe fatigue…no energy and can sleep for 17 hours if I had the option. I’m very apathetic and just kinda here,my brain fog comes and goes but I still feel like I’m living in a dream.
I’ve expressed to my mother constantly that something isn’t right and she would always say I seem fine and would dismiss my symptoms and tell me I’m fine or “I get that way too sometimes” but she never really seemed understand or care about what I was through or how much it was effecting my life. My mom wasn’t present when I was in the ICU and I always ask her to tell me more about what happened but says that she doesn’t like thinking about it or just tells me the same thing she always does..you had grand mal seizures, and the doctors said you were in coma and when I finally got there you were moving around (her words not mine!!!) like a r*tard and I thought you were going to be a vegetable” she said she didn’t get any more information from the doctors and they didn’t tell her anything.
I never even thought a TBI could be an option because it was never brought up. I never knew there were implications of seizures or being in a coma until recently. I honestly didn’t even know what a TBI was until I met a man with one and he was explaining his story and it made some things click for me. I was only 15 and no one was taking me seriously, which caused so much anger, anxiety and confusion. I eventually just accepted that nothing could possible be wrong because if there was someone would have told me, right?!? Like holy shit, I almost died and didn’t even realize it until yesterday. I feel like if I was properly informed I wouldn’t have made the life choices I did. I wouldn’t have had kids, put my mom in debt for my multiple attempts at college..ugh I feel so much guilt.
I was diagnosed with ADHD because of my focus, disorganization, and lack of executive functioning and to my surprise these issues could very well be attributed to a TBI.
I’m kind of just here, existing…and I’m getting increasingly worried as time goes on that I’ll never be able to support myself or my children and have to constantly rely on other people for help. I requested my medical records from the children’s hospital to hopefully find out where I was on the coma scale and I’ll seek out help once I get those.
Sorry for the long rambling post. I feel like I may have found an answer and I’m just happy and somewhat upset, but it is what it is.

I am a master student in NLP/Computational linguistics and currently looking for jobs after graduation. Prepare for long panicked post, hope this is the right place to ask/vent..
Both my bachelor and master were a specialized NLP degree. Especially the bachelor was pretty general: I took all the same intro to linguistics (syntax, phonetics, morphology etc.) classes as the theoretical linguistics. I had a lot of „traditional“ NLP methods such as parsing based on formal languages, automata theory, search algorithms. Basic maths, statistics, linear algebra. Specialized seminars on coreference, sentiment analysis etc but those were mostly in the style of reading-papers-and-discussing-them. My master offered more technical and applied courses, but I did not feel well prepared since I never learned how to program neural networks myself except for a very basic numpy and pandas based classifier, but suddenly everyone was talking about transformer models. I had theoretical ML classes, but somehow we were just expected to know how to implement them into our projects too? I am now doing my thesis where I am using an existing system (pytorch-based) and adapting and tuning it for a slightly different task. While I (thought I) know how to program and the basic of how machine learning, the reality is I feel soooo out of place. I have a hard time even understanding the pytorch documentation, and I feel like there are a million things to consider. Shapes don’t match, cuda out of memory, suddenly i need to do gradient clipping which I feel I was taught about in 30min 2 years ago maybe. I usually make it work somehow after 5 nervous breakdows, but I constantly feel like I am half-assing everything, just trying to get it to run at least. If I were to build such a system, even a way simple one, from scratch, I would die.
Now looking at jobs, most of those that advertise with NLP require „practical machine learning experience with frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch…“, and nearly every job is also equally directed at graduates from EITHER data science, mathematics, computer science, NLP … How can I keep up with data scientists in this aspect? Did I mess up by not practicing how to actually code and understand complex systems during my degree? I know a few other students who expressed similar concerns, at least from my school. I definitely see potential for me in areas with highly specialized use cases/messy/non-standard data, but wonder if this really needed >3 years of linguistic basics. Will employers actually care about my linguistic background compared to a data scientist with some NLP experience? Currently I feel like I would have done better doing a data science degree and then taking a few classes on linguistics later on to specialize…. I guess I will find a job one way or another but I am already scared of interviews because of these inadequacies.

On the Raw after WrestleMania 39, Omos and MVP are in the ring. Omos lost to Lesnar at WrestleMania, but MVP still has faith in The Nigerian Giant. So much so, that he calls anyone out in the locker room to get their ass kicked. And this is promised to be an extra special whooping because of Omos's pent-up aggression. Suddenly, we hear Japanese music and out comes an American man who seemingly has Asian roots. He calls for a referee and the match begins. The unknown man is very quick and skillful in this match, but he's still no match for Omos. As he's up on his feet, Omos rolls out of the way and hits the man with a brutal double-handed chokeslam for the three count.
When the man goes backstage, he's asked what his name is. "My name... is Ricky Steamboat! And I'm here to show the WWE Universe a new style of wrestling! While you already know about the styles of brawling and technical and high-flying, there’s also a certain type of fighting called Strong Style. And while the originator of Strong Style isn’t here, I took it upon myself to keep this great art of fighting in the WWE. Now, I was hoping to show a lot more of that tonight, but I got stopped. But you know what? That was the first night. In the coming weeks, I’ll be able to bring Strong Style back."
In the coming weeks, Ricky does just that, using the Strong Style art to defeat Elias, Johnny Gargano, and even Finn Balor. That last win didn’t sit right with Balor, however. As he and Judgment Day would attack Steamboat after the match. The Judgment Day would also cost Ricky Steamboat a win in the first round of the King of The Ring Tournament. After that match, every scheduled Steamboat match wouldn’t happen because he would get attacked backstage by the group. Fed up, Ricky Steamboat challenges all the male members of Judgment Day to a handicap match at Money in the Bank! Believing that Ricky just made a stupid decision, they accept.
## Money in the Bank 2023 (Ricky Steamboat vs. The Judgment Day, 1-on-3 Handicap Match) ##
Ricky Steamboat makes his way to the ring. As he waits for his opponents, a camera shows that The Judgment Day are now beat up. Officials are trying to tend to them and tell Ricky that the match isn’t happening. However, Damian Priest insists on going to the ring by himself. The scheduled handicap match has now turned into a one-on-one contest between Ricky Steamboat and Damian Priest. The match highlights both the high-flying and technical in-ring work of Steamboat and the power and athleticism of Priest. In the end, Steamboat takes the win after hitting the top-rope crossbody to Damian. The move doesn’t knock him out, but the execution catches Priest off guard. I would describe this match as NXT TakeOver quality.
In the weeks after the PLE, Steamboat tries to make it clear that he had nothing to do with what happened before the scheduled match was about to take place. Finn Balor says that if Ricky’s so sure that he had nothing to do with the attack, then he wouldn’t mind having a tag team match between The Judgment Day and the team of Steamboat and the one man that did have something to do with the attack at SummerSlam. Ricky agrees, even though he himself has no idea who attacked them.
Then one week, Ricky Steamboat is walking to the arena, smiling. He’s in a very good mood and nobody knows why. He tells the interviewer to watch tonight’s match very closely. In the closing moments of Steamboat’s match against Dominik Mysterio, Ricky Steamboat goes to the top rope and hits a huge knee strike to the head of Dom for the win. *That knee looked a lot like a Kinshasa…\*
## SummerSlam 2023 (The Judgment Day vs. Ricky Steamboat and ???): ##
Finn Balor and Damian Priest compete in the match because Dom ‘broke his nose’ from that knee. It’s sooooo brutal that he just had to ‘loan’ (steal) one of his dad’s masks to cover it up. Ricky Steamboat makes his way down to the ring and then immediately the lights go out! Then suddenly, we hear THE violin play. Cue strobe lights… SHINSUKE NAKAMURA IS BACK! Wrestling his first wrestling match since The Great Muta, he’s teaming up with the one man who kept Strong Style in the WWE while he was away. And what could make this return entrance better? The appearance of Lee England Jr., the violinist who appeared on WWE programming three different times!
The match itself is nothing short of special. While Balor and Priest are doing their own thing, Shinsuke and Steamboat are showing off a different style of tag team wrestling that we most likely haven’t seen in a long time! They mix striking, high-flying, and technical wrestling together. In the end, Steamboat hits the crossbody onto both Priest and Dominik outside the ring Shinsuke Nakamura hits a Kinshasa so hard that Finn Balor sells it like AJ Styles sells a clothesline! With a clear three count, Ricky Steamboat and Shinsuke Nakamura win the battle! At the post-show press conference, Nakamura says that Ricky has protected the art of Strong Style like a dragon! This moment officially gives Ricky Steamboat the moniker of ‘The Dragon’.
To be continued...

I posted this question on nbadiscussion but it went afoul of their "no player comparisons" rule, and there were also quite a few people who thought it was too pro-Jokic, so I thought I should bring it here: "Everyone is familiar by now with the prevailing narrative that Jokic's MVP chances are tanking. In the next two games he faces the Bucks and the Sixers. In these two games, even if the Nuggets lose, it is highly likely that he will increase his RAPTOR WAR (currently 19.9) past every other FULL REGULAR SEASON figure in the last decade except Steph's legendary 15-16 season, and his own record last year. He only has to pass Harden's 20.1 figure from 18-19. (see 538 RAPTOR tracker) Once he passes the 20.3 mark, the only other players in his company since 1976 are MJ and Lebron. (see historical WAR best seasons)
I know not everyone believes RAPTOR WAR is the best way to define performance, but I think it does indicate how singular Jokic's season is, by a metric which weeds out a lot of other noise. I don't want to get into the weeds on whether Jokic's RAPTOR WAR means he should be MVP though specifically , as it ends up being a difficult to resolve debate really.What I want to ask here is "What does he need to do in the next two games against the Bucks and Sixers to flip the narrative?" Obviously unrealistic examples like him sending an Embiid layup into the upper deck or posterizing Giannis are entertaining, but they are also only anecdotal and symbolic moments. The sort of thing I am asking for is: Jokic gets 15 assists and boards against each of them and makes 70/40/90 the new 50/40/90 despite a modest 25 points in a quiet cakewalk to back to back victories, while Embiid runs up his box stats (as usual) without managing to have any real impact on the game, and Giannis plays bully ball and racks up 4 offensive fouls and 8 turnovers, alongside an otherwise gaudy statline. OR Jokic has to be physical in the paint with the big boys, and maybe he doesn't shut them down, but he just frustrates them, and wears them down:Embiid only gets 22pts & 8 reb, and Jokic and the Nugs intercept several passes to and from him, cutting him off on the court. Embiid is so exhausted by the 4th quarter that the Nuggets come back from 12 down (from Harden's lights out shooting in the first half) and win easily. Giannis gets no offensive rebounds and fouls out with 4 minutes to go - the Bucks squeeze out a win in OT from the sideline, but Jokic has clearly dominated the matchup.
What do you think has to happen in these next two games - what are realistic scenarios for Jokic's performance vs these other 2 leading contenders - and go ahead if you want to give a counter-example bc you think Embiid and the 76ers have Jokic figured out (as they did in the last matchup - though I think the Nuggets will switch things up to address this with a new scheme - your analysis welcome!). In particular for this sub, I want to know if it is enough for the Nuggets to win in a team effort, if Nikola doesn't appear to be the driving force behind that, or is dominated by Embiid/Giannis in 1v1?

My bf (26) cheated on me (27) last December. We just moved to our first house that we bought. We’ve been living together for 5 years and we’re basically married without the rings. He just graduated from nursing school last year and started working as a nurse doing double shifts. Late December I found out that he was cheating on me with his new coworker and when I found out he told me he would stop. He did stop but I feel like the relationship is not the same anymore. He’s not as affectionate and sweet to me as before. He’s more cold? If I don’t text he wouldn’t text. And I don’t know what to do. I forgave him for cheating because we’ve been together for so long and we have our future planned that includes starting a family together. I keep opening up to him about how I feel but and he just say okay and yes that he would try to show me more love but it’s not happening. What should I do?

I hate when my illness’ interfere with my life. I’ve been going to therapy and doing everything I’m suppose to do so that I can function in “normal” society. Except it sucks when it’s extra worse some days. I’m always anxious about interrupting conversations or speaking in groups because I was always told to be seen not heard and whenever I talked I would get in serious trouble. Anyways, it’s a habit that I learned and so it’s hard to undo even with therapy and just the general knowledge that I’m not a child anymore and that I am allowed to talk and express myself and join conversations. I clam up in meetings at work especially when it is higher ups. Just had a meeting with higher ups and my coworker presented for the meeting (I was on vacation until 2 days ago) and so they allowed her to present since I’m still catching up on work. I said nothing during the meeting and the one time I had the courage to try to speak up someone talked over me and I just stayed quiet. Meeting continues we reach a point were our higher up is asking by for us to do some work but it isn’t directed at me but my coworker. (this is a project that I’m involved in more than she is) I feel like either my boss thinks I’m stupid or just feels like my coworker is more competent. She seems to get a lot more opportunities, I can see why, but it frustrates me so much. I do the same work and I have some more experiences than her but my fucking trauma responses get in the way. I try very hard to break those responses but it’s so hard when you get an anxiety attack when trying to break those. I hate that my trauma just interferes with everything. I’ve been working so hard and it still feels like I’m always behind and looked over. When am I going to be enough.
Has anyone else had this experience in a work setting?

On mobile & English is 2nd language, sorry
GF and I (18F both) are on our last school year before university. We started dating 2.5y ago, at the start of the equivalent of high school, where I am from.
She (since birth) is blind from one eye and suffers from others things such as migraines, blurry vision and nausea, while I am hyper sensitive and emotional. It is of course no where near comparable !!
We had our fair share of ups and downs, given it was my first relationship and she had just left a toxic one. In short, communication is something we had and have to work on.
In January, we broke up for a while, since she had 3 rightful complains:
- We rarely spend time together outside school
- I easily raise my voice (not insults, but the subject of discussion don't matter, I shouldn't do that under any circumstances)
- and the focus point: I keep treating her like a child
Which are all red flags and I am deeply ashamed by my actions. Nonetheless, she decides after weeks of reflexions (which included changing her mind two time after an "it's over" from her) which should give it another try, of course on the condition I had to better myself
Which bring us to today. She forgot/lost her glasses at home and I was insufferable.
Asking her if she needed anything a dozen time, repeating I could go at her place and bring them to her, remaking, MULTIPLE TIME she should bring her own sketch book while one of our teacher was looking at our mutual friend's artwork, and being surprised when she brought her money to pay for a school trip, since she didn't tell me before she remembered to bring it. (I am aware it's a shitty logic, it sucks, I suck, it's why I am asking help)
And those are the things I can think at the top of my head, I'm sure I said/did more-
We went to her place after school hours, and only when I left I told myself "She's acting cold, I probably did something wrong.... Oh shit" and texted her and apology (It's is not enough, a proper apology should be to change, not empty words !!)
She told me she didn't care as she was accustomed to it (It makes me so mad at myself, she shouldn't be) but she was hurt and hesitated to broke up or not, but did not feel to discuss it by messages
I am aware I am a shitty girlfriend, and for her own good we should break up. I never wished to harm her. It all come to genuine worry for her, as I want to make her life as easy as possible. Yet, I only make it harder
I do not see her as less or incapable, in fact, she is better at everything else I'll ever be: she's an artist, very mature, funny, gifted in literature and philosophy. My only archivment are above average grades that give me my only worth. Another unhealthy thing about me
So. How do I change ? Should I seek professional help ? I know some will tell me "you are young and it's unhealthy, break up" but It is my first relationship, and the only problem is me. I want to salvage my relationship, and if I do not, at least better myself. My girlfriend deserves the world, not to be constantly annoyed by me. I should lift her up, not bring her down.
I am aware I am the problem. I can only blame myself.
But please, if you could give me any advice, I would be eternally grateful. I want to do things right.
TLDR: I am a bad girlfriend, risk of break up is high and I need advice how to change and think before I speak, stop repeating the same question and overall, stop being overbearing.

I've posted about this before on reddit on one of my old accounts. My endeavor was mainly to try to find the song in particular that plays throughout the commercial, but of all the songs people had suggested in prior posts, none were been a solid match.
I. For starters the channel was most likely Nickelodeon. That is the channel I was watching 80% of the time in the time frame (2009-2012 is what I would say it was, with 2010 being a general estimate), in which I would have been 10-11 years old or something.
II. It is possible the advertisement was unique to the northeast Massachusetts or southern New Hampshire area where I was viewing TV from. I say this because the commercial seemed something of a low-quality casual production, did not seem to me like it would be a national or international advertisement. This is just an assumption I've made however and could be wrong.
III. The commercial consisted of a very calming and soothing acoustic guitar-led folk song with a male vocalist, some xylophones and such, that played continuously while a collage of "oddly satisfying" video footage played. The only scene I remember is a sped-up video of grass growing, thrown amidst other such clips that I think were most likely stock footage.
IV. At the end I believe there was a brief description of whatever company was being advertised with an unseen voiceover narration.
Here is a recreation of the song that plays in the commercial. I made this mock-up using GarageBand.
If you remember watching this commercial, and/or remember details that I don't, please share them in the comments below. If you have a positive ID on what this is, please share it in the comments below. Thank you!

So I’m just curious on the thoughts of folks here. Currently I’m at a $35/month (fees included) unlimited talk/text with 10GB capped data. I was originally a virgin mobile user who was ported into Boost. Originally it was supposed to be an autopay pricing, (normally $40 a month) way back when it was virgin and I don’t know if that’s still the case. Either way I did the little thing where I added my PayPal but revoked permissions via PayPal but Boost still has it on their site, so I think Boost thinks it’s there for autopay when obviously if it tried it would be denied.
I see on the website when looking at plans there’s a $25 option that has more data. The data isn’t as much a concern for me as it is $10 cheaper. It says it’s autopay only.
My question is y’all’s opinion if 1. Now is a good time to switch plans or would you probably suggest waiting. My bill is on the 11th and I already have about $5 in credit applied so I’m not worried about this months bill. On top of that the website is working for me but the app itself logged me out and isn’t logging back in right now. So their systems are still having issues. Also 2. Is there a catch with that $25 plan? Would it cause issues with my fake autopay situation? Taxes and fees being like $8 on top of it? Or is exceptionally slow speeds or something?
I’m not in a rush to change plans so can wait till they stop self combusting but considering my rent is going up by $75/month I wanna try to find places to shave that off.

I’ll start this off by saying I’m a 16f and this happened in school today. I was in my class and this girl kept kicking the back of my chair and it was hurting my back.
I turned around and told her to stop doing that and she just started laughing and a couple minutes later started kicking my chair again. I was already annoyed about other things happening in my life and I got up and hit her in the face, kids in my class were yelling and my teacher just ran over and pulled us apart from each other.
My teacher only saw what I did and we got sent to the principals office. I gave this girl a cut on her lip and my principal told me that I was the one who took it too far and got physical.
My school gave me an out of school suspension for 5 days and my dad had to come and get me. He was losing it on me and only made me feel even worse. I’m not allowed to go out at home until this is over too.
This was definitely one of my biggest fuckups and I feel so stupid for losing my temper and getting myself into this.
TL;DR: TIFU by losing my temper on a girl kicking the back of my chair in school, punching her and getting an out of school suspension for a week.

I use rapid charging places in shopping malls nearby, and they are maintained quite well. Same as everywhere else in the world, we usually only have one CHAdeMO port at each EV charging stations, it’s already hard enough. Somehow, my Leaf would occasionally have issues to communicate with the charger, it gets quite frustrating. For the first a few times when this happened, I found it useful to disconnect the charger, close the front lid, reopen again, hoping this would restart something. It works everytime!!! But today, this trick no longer works. I drove to a different place to charge, still not working, after trying several times, I gave up. Then drove back to the first place, plugged in, didn’t work, same error. Before I gave up for real, I clicked “retry” on the app, somehow it worked this time. Urggg, this is so random!!! 1 hour of time just got wasted for charging my car!
It always starts to communicate with the charger, 2 of 3 the charging lights would light up, one of them would blink. Then suddenly, all lights shut off, as if there was a time-out, then charger side report an error “cannot start charging”.
Has anyone here experienced the same problem with CHAdeMO? It’s quite frustrating if it happens when I’m traveling and needs a 30-40 min break to charge before continuing, although I’ve been lucky, this only happened once when I was on a long-distance trip, and that was most likely a faulty charger, as it went out of service after one try.

Hi there. I’ve never really been much of a drinker, but 11 years ago, I was attending a graduate program and got really drunk one night with my classmates. Unfortunately, I’d also been having severe vertigo for a few weeks and was being treated with antibiotics for a potential (but unconfirmed) ear infection. (I don’t know what antibiotic the doctor prescribed to me.) It hadn’t even occurred to me to read the drug label, and the doctor hadn’t mentioned not to drink alcohol while taking the drug, so it wasn’t until I got really sick later that night that I discovered my error. The next 24 hours or so were rough: I had a seizure-like fainting spell, vomited several times, had several bouts of diarrhea, and had a severe stomach ache.
Primary complaint: One thing I've been concerned about is that ever since that incident 11 years ago, my stool has consistently been abnormal. It’s always either really watery or comes out in small, thin, snakelike strips, and sometimes I’ll go 2-3 times in a single day. Is it possible that I did permanent damage to my gut? And is there anything I can do to help identify and correct the issue?
For some context:
Medical history:

• I have no known medical issues, except I have been having fainting spells since I was young, and they turned more seizure-like since this incident.
  • They only occur about 1-2 times per year, typically when I'm sick or when I drink alcohol while dehydrated or stressed.
  • I’ve spoken to several doctors about this, who aren't too concerned since I don't have memory issues upon awakening, and I've also been to an emergency department after one incident, where they ran an ECG (results were normal) and said I was just dehydrated.
  • I've had 2 MRIs done: 1 before this incident for headaches (which showed a possible small cyst on my pineal gland), and 1 done for the vertigo shortly after this incident, which showed nothing remarkable.
• I do get bloodwork done annually—a CBC and comprehensive metabolic panel—and for the most part, everything comes back normal.
  • My creatinine serum/plasma was slightly high a couple times.
  • My BUN/creatinine ratio was slightly low once or twice.

Medications/supplements:

• Enskyce/reclipsen 28-tab birth control, which I’ve been taking since ~2008
• Fish oil
• Vitamin B-12 and vitamin D on occasion
• I’ve tried a couple (grocery store) probiotics, each for about a month, but they didn’t make any difference.

Lifestyle:

• Never smoker
• No recreational drug use
• Average # of drinks per week: 0-2
• I eat healthy most of the time, including lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in my diet, but my diet has also changed a fair bit over the past 11 years. (None of these dietary changes have improved or really had any effect on my stool.)
  • I was eating a bit more processed/unhealthy food back when the incident happened.
  • A few years later, I tried the Whole30 diet for a while (cut out all dairy, added sugar, and carbs).
  • About 5-6 years ago, I became a strict vegetarian.
  • About a year ago, I switched to being pescatarian.
• I currently eat yogurt and/or drink kombucha at least a few times per week.
• I exercise regularly (walk daily, run 3-4 days per week, cycle occasionally, and hike a lot in the warmer months).

Any advice to help with my stool issues would be much appreciated! I have a wellness exam coming up and would be happy to request additional testing while I'm there. Thank you!

AITA For Being Pushed Into Someone?
Hi, first time poster here I’m just wondering if I did something wrong in this situation that I’m not seeing.
I 15M was lining up for food in my school canteen, the line is usually very crowded with lots of people pushing in or pushing forwards to get food quicker, I was standing in line with my friends when a large group of people at the back of the line began to push people forward, this effected the whole line seeing as everyone was pushed, while this was happening I got separated from my friends as I fell forward, I was trapped in between multiple people and could barely move, whilst I was trapped, there was a group of girls in front of me, I had my arms down to my side but due to the constant pushing I was being flung forwards into these girls, as well as this I felt numerous peoples hands all over my body, the girl in front of me turned around and looked at me, after I had been pushed forward, ( I immediately moved back) one of the other girls said “stop pushing” I responded by saying “it’s not me look behind us” anyway I noticed they were uncomfortable so I tried my best to hold back the line pushing to avoid bumping into them again, I also immediately moved my arms above my waist to avoid touching anyone like I was being touched (unintentionally by others behind me) eventually my friend pulled me through a gap in the line and I was able to get out of the area which was being pushed the most, I then proceeded to get my food and leave, I forgot about it pretty quickly just annoyed that I was being pushed so much. Anyways today one of the girls boyfriends came up to me and grabbed me and asked to speak with me, I agreed and we walked to somewhere out of the way (we were playing a sport at the time) he then asked me if I had touched his girlfriends “bum” in the line, immediately I explained that I had no idea what’s was going on in that line, and that I was focused on not falling into them again, i also told him I moved my arms to avoid making them uncomfortable, and told him I had no memory of touching her there, but assured him if I did it would have been completely accidental, as I was focused on not being pushed into them again, he said he “got that” and seemed to be slightly less aggressive, he then told me she told him I had done it multiple times and she had told me to “stop touching her ass” I have 0 memory of this due to the fact I was being moved around constantly by the line, she also never spoke to me as far as I am aware, he said he’d appreciate if I apologised I told him I would. I messaged her later on and apologised and explained if I had done it, it was because of the craziness of the line, she responded with “okay”.
I’m just wondering if I did anything wrong and if there will still be an issue, so Reddit Am I An Asshole? Any advice would be appreciated.

So he wanted me to check something on my language on his phone. when i was typing something it popped up porn in many content in my language for background story we kinda lacking of sex. he claimed that he has low sex drive while he told me i have a high sex drive. we did it once a week or maybe every two weeks. and I try to understand cause everything it’s great between us for months im very happy with him. but during we try to working on our sex life seeing those content on his tap bar make me feel shitty. I understand if he likes asain girls but he looked for my nationality specificly. he said it doesn’t mean he don’t find me attractive. I am sexy for him. but I feel bad because the reason we lacking of sex not because of me. i tried to understand it’s because his truma about sex before or whatever. I wouldn’t mind if he looking for asian girls like regular porn we watch but my nationality when he has me. I just feel shitty cause he always say he never watch it. it brothers me a lot and I don’t know what to do. he said sorry and kiss me say i’m very pretty for him. I don’t see anything wrong with watching it of cause but I can’t help feeling this. Just feel like i’m I not enough for him.

I go to community college and I am taking an anthropology lecture class that has a lab class attached to it. In both of the classes is my ex-girlfriend who I dated for two years in high school. I don’t have any hatred in my heart but I feel extreme hatred towards this woman. She cheated on me with one of my friends and when I found out she plastered my name on social media saying I assaulted her. Because she is an idiot her story did not line up. She said I hit her in the face multiple times on June 21, 2022 which is not true because I was in San Diego that week visiting family. She recanted her story and wrote an apology saying she was scared for being ousted as a cheater and tried to turn the attention towards me. I wanted to blow up a building. What she did really messed me up. I lost a couple of friends and 8 months later people still believe I abused her. She has come out multiple times to try and clear my name but some people still don’t believe her. She has never directly apologized to me but I could care less if she does at this point.
I want nothing to do with my ex and I have stayed away from her in both classes. I have no reason to interact or confront her and it’s best for us to stay away. In the lab class we are paired up in groups of two. I am paired with a guy who I get along with very well. He also is a carpenter apprentice and on Monday and text me to say he broke his right leg and foot after falling off a ladder and is going to be out of class for over three weeks. I feel terrible for the guy.
Today I told my professor about my lab partner and he said I could join the partnership that includes my ex-girlfriend. I immediately said that was a bad idea and I could not join them due to serious personal reasons and I would be more than happy to join any other group. My professor said I am in the same place in the assignment we are doing as them and it is best for me to join them to finish the assignment, then I could join a different group if I felt like it.
This assignment is going on for three more weeks and the class meets twice a week for two and a half hours. I have to spend 5 hours a week next to someone I wish I never met. I have to be respectful and work with her and bury any feelings of resentment I have towards my ex-girlfriend. This is going to SUCK. Although, this could be a good way to finally move on and not let the incident continue to affect me.

Before messaging on Chat or DM's, please be able to hold a conversation as it's not nice to be ghosted within the first few messages, it ain't nice and you should have some actual decent social skills to just be upfront about this with someone... Anyway, with that out of the way let's continue.

Introduction

Well hello there! (General Kenobi!). I'm Snoky also known as you'll find out when we get to know eachother
I’m a 25 year old English/Norwegian guy from the U of K! I currently work in the IT Sector within the Local Government and my god I forgot how hectic the public sector was after i left it roughly 4 years ago. I did indeed have quite a shock coming back 😅

Apperance

I'm on the bigger side but am looking to get that changed with some help due to i'm not very happy with the way thing's are currently. Minus that I'm 6'1/6'2, depends on which doctor you ask! I have short-ish hair dark blonde hair? I think? I'm not very good with colors so you'll have to tell me whenever we decide to exchange pictures.
Which i will be more than happy to exchange later on once we get to know eachother!

Main Intrests/Hobbies

My main interests are either playing games with some friends on the PC, studying for future certifications and mainly what I do after work just kicking back and watching whatever random things I can find on YouTube (I aren’t a big TV person). I used to watch a lot of anime but I tend to drop out of it for a year and then I get back in to it then I lose interest again heh, it’s just a thing that I’ve been doing for years on end.
I am somewhat in to movies but I haven’t really properly watched any within the last year or so but if I was to give a rough genre, I’d say dark-ish movies with a grabbing story i.e. DC films and a here and there Marvel film (IW ftw!) I much more prefer it when the bad guy gets the upper hand and basically wins as close to that of Thanos basically.
My main music choices? Everywhere and everything. If my ears like it, then chances are I’ll most likely like it. I’d write down all the artists I follow right now but trust me it’d take too long to go over so it’d probs better to just share my Spotify playlist lmao. But to give a quick sum up I’d say its more around mixed genre, alt-rock basically.
I do also write my own stuff as well, but again like anime I do it for like 6 months then stop, then start a year later so eh it’s a pretty hit and miss hobby for me 😅

Future Prospects?

As mentioned in my apperance section i'm in the process of trying to get fit with weight loss as I’m not very happy with how I am at the moment especially when it comes to health after a incident a few years ago but that’s neither here nor the future as I’m looking to change it with the help of the NHS and people around me. I'd be more than happy to join forces together with someone who's trying to do the same thing!
I currently own my own company which is currently under going some development but hasn't actually started as of yet (still looking in that area) but it will get there at somepoint!
Alongside my own company I’m also undergoing a project with a close friend of mine that we’re trying to pursue which is actually happening alongside the org itself so it's all looping togetherslowly but surely.

What am i looking for?

I'm looking for someone who's intrested in getting to know eachother, someone who's got my back and i've got theres, someone i can well essentially "grow" with and get to know, someone who's willing to put the effort in to get to know me and vice versa.I'd like said person to be able to hold a convoersation with me as i've been in too many instances where it's all been one sided convos with me basically putting in more effort than the other person but alas that's neither here nor there and hopfully I'll maybe find the person who would share that equal effort with me. And trust me I've been ghosted loads of times to the point it's like "bruh, just why?" but anyway!
I'm open to long distant's so long as there's a goal to meet eachother in the somewhat near future!

The End?

If you've made it this far after this somewhat long post then i must congradulate you!
I now have a small question for you to send me the answer too when you message me.
On what date and or month was a i born? I was born on the month of a certain red birthstone on a international memorial day
p.s, if you don't get it it doesn't matter it's worth a try regardless
