nervous

i'm dissecting a fetal pig today. i could handle all the other things cause i didn't really associate them to the animal, but i think this is gonna be a lot more difficult for me...
 
Spork, I did that both in HS and undergrad. I didn't like it either. Hopefully you are working with a partner. My lab partner in college and I flipped a coin to see who would do the bulk of the dissection and who would take notes. I took notes until we got to the nervous system, and then we swapped. Make sure you eat a couple hours beforehand. Your forceps and pins will be your best friends.

My word: frustrated. My new house has black mold in it. This is the same stuff that sent me to the ER 3 times and had me misdiagnosed with psoriasis before the cause was found. My housemate is trying to remediate the problem himself. Not OK. I was prescribed steroids and threatened with the prospect of chemotherapy drugs. I'm not going through this again.

DEPRESSED

I lost $10,000usd yesterday and am planning to move across the country in a few weeks. I am just baffled with my decision making of late, and am going through some difficult times. Hopefully I can get through this before I make any more rash decisions.

HOW did that happen? :?
 
FREE!! and Proud

No Suboxone in 6-7 days (cannot remember) and today really feels like the worst is over. It wasn't that bad because I did an almost year long taper off. Still have a bit of trouble falling asleep, but that will come.
 
^ Lack-of sleep was the hardest thing for me about quitting Suboxone. But overall it was a piece-of-cake compared to proper heroin WD, and it was easy enough for me to stick to a raitional "it could be worse..." strategy to help keep me resolute. I'm proud of you for getting completely free of opiates. You'll probably come back here in a few weeks saying something to the point of "I thought I felt normal on Suboxone, but life's opened up even more now!" This is a good thing.

Don't lump the move in with the financial loss as if it were a bad thing. Your move is going to be a new start in a better environment. Sure, an inherently more expensive environment, but look at how expensive you are effectively making your life in your current environment (that you don't even like). The whole point of the move is so that your backdrop is better, your satisfaction with life improves and you don't feel as much of a need to colour your life with intoxicants and risks. Colour your life with beaches and blue skies. Oh wait, that was the whole point of your move! :)

Frustrated

Joining a better gym "health club" today, but the salespeople at this one are so freakin' devious and annoying. It took me well over an hour to get in and out of the door, even with the philosophy of "I've done this all before, you don't have to talk me into joining, here is my bank card..." And then I find out that I don't make enough money to qualify for the Young Professionals Discount. Right...
 
trying not to feel sorry for myself. The 2nd round of chemo that was going better for my husband went totally wrong last night. I make a very squeamish nurse.:( Meanwhile he is delirious which is really new.

Thanks man, I'm glad to see you doing better as well. I do not come on here very often anymore, but I do remember talking with you a few times on here.
