anyone else a single parent of 3
or autistic ? adhd ? pmdd ?
i'm prob the only
one
it's not meant for people like us
i get easily
panicked and overwhelmed
the week before my period life feels hopeless and i stayed home
i only have 2 good weeks a month with pmdd
single
parent mum with autism and recently adhd
med school
grew up with
parents of 2 different cultures who still fight and vent to me .
daily shamed by my father who said he stopped my unstable mum leaving him when i was 5 years old and disappearing into the london underground --- and i'm the family scapegoat . So he essentially saved me.
my mother uses medication to sleep all day.
wasn't allowed much freedom growing up compared to my brother
had an arranged marriage (( not forced ) as i didn't feel i could attract someone who isn't a Player
anyway the house is a constant mess with socks , pen lids and all sorts on the floor
someone has reported me to social care and they're going to visit
i'm currently on a break from uni as i feel frazzled
there are too many changes like house move and my kid starting secondary school and not even knowing where we're moving to as i don't want to live near my parents
get angry very quickly -
is medication likely to help someone like me as they have side effects ???
a week before period my fibromyalgia body aches Nd heavy ones js worse , my racing thoughts are bad
fatigued
single
mum of 3, age 35
also in med school
i have eloine pill but worry it will age me as it uses synthetic hormones
only bee able to take 2 pills as i dont want to mess up the cycle
my mum is 57 and has ended up with terrible acne during menopause and after after never having it
on her side my grandma suffered terrible migraines , there must be a hormone component
my blood test hormones are normal
i don't take adhd medication
i've been going to gym last 6m doing mostly weights
moood is
stomach looks domed at top
low
do i stop carbs at dinner?? i usually eat 60-80g protein.
i am
74kg, last pregnancy was 2.5 y ago
does anyone have experience of being an autistic med student with kids ?
i feel burned out quickly on clinical
and find sequences like
blood tests very difficult as i'm being watched and don't like it
struggle with stage fright during osce- unable to relax despite alot of therapy
was told my voice was monotone during osce - how ignorant can these examiners be when i have a card says i have autism
i have ptsd and bpd so my mood can shift very quickly from
calm to angry with just a comment online - and i can't go back down for a few hours .
i guess i come
home to kids , laundry , cooking and feel on all the time
so the option to interrupt studies is there as i don't feel
able to pass the resit in a months time
so i do have naturally straight brows. i heard fuller messy brows make people look younger so i've resisted going to the salon again
i did get a wax a couple months ago
i find that she makes the tail so skinny and i hate it
pls advice what would be best
brow lamination ? just wax ? pls help
i've tried a lot of injectables and one session microneedling still have pink cheeks large pores
i've seen so many korean girls with baby soft poreless skin on the train
i already house medik8 Ha serum, peptide cream and baume b5 spf in the day
i think these products do act like a film on top of oily skin . it's only nose and cheeks which is red.
and i don't want another arranged marriage
struggling with workload being a med student ,36, and single parent youngest child is 2 who doesn't sleep well
don't enjoy clinical side sensory overload on wards ----
i'm also autistic /adhd /fibromyalgia
not really having support network
i have option to interrupt for a year or do resit exams in june ( 2 months away ) which i'm not ready for
medicine is tied to my self esteem too much and this is probably family expectations
the pathway to becoming a non clinical doctor is so long
