Psilt- sorry for what you are going through. Remember we are here for you
You will have plenty of people that have gone through this here to offer some thoughts. I am sure you are about to be virtual hugged until it hurts!Last week I got into an accident and completely totaled my car. While I sustained minor injuries that required me to go to the ER, I'm finding the real problem to be happening now. Every night since the wreck I have had a nightmare about wrecking again, and I wake up in a panic while gasping and drenched in sweat. I really wish it would go away, because it's starting to affect the amount of sleep I'm getting, not to mention it's making me an absolute panicked mess whenever I drive my replacement vehicle.
Ugh. And here I thought anatomy stress dreams were bad....
It takes a while to go away. I recommend talking to someone. Hope things get better.Last week I got into an accident and completely totaled my car.

I was in a bad car accident in the beginning of January. I still have nightmares..I had one last night. They are never the same, though. It's always a different situation, and always my fault. (My accident was a single car accident). It usually wakes me up. I would also wake up sweating, but that went away a few months ago. I will usually wake up, go pee (I have the smallest bladder), get a drink of water, and just lay back down and try to get back to sleep. Some nights I can fully fall back asleep, and there are other nights that I just drift in and out until my alarm goes off. On nights that my SO is laying next to me I am usually able to calm down faster and fall asleep- must just be the feeling that I know I am safe. Maybe if you can make yourself feel more comfortable (more blankets, heating pad, etc), or safer (sleep with a hammer under your bed like me hehe, open/close your bedroom door), you might be able to calm down faster and get back to sleep.Last week I got into an accident and completely totaled my car.

I had a similar problem to that--ended up being a motherboard issue (the comp would be plugged in with a new cord and new battery but wouldn't hold a charge). HTH.
computer issues. computer wont charge anymore and it doesnt seem to be a battery or power cord issue. silly thing is, my warranty covers someone coming to my house to fix the issue! problem? i am gone 12 hours a day and will likely never be home or able to be home during normal business hours until aftergraduate (before i start working). so frustrating!!! and i cant even possibly begin to imagine asking my current attending if i could have a few hours off to get this taken care of. my roommate wont be home either. i essentially have no friends in raleigh to ask for help, they are all in vet school too. stressful
It will. I find that at 13 months out I don't do that nearly as often. I was t-boned turning left so I still have some anxiety when I'm turning left on busy roads, but it's nowhere near what it used to be.@Lupin21 , @dyachei , and @psilovethomas , thank you for your advice and thoughts. I will definitely have to try a few of sleep tips, I would be willing to try just about anything to try to get some of my sleep back.
The hardest thing for me (besides losing sleep) is how different it is driving. I am usually a very calm driver and I was very comfortable driving in large cities or for long periods of time... but now I jump at the littlest things and seem to drive with my hands clenched and heart racing. I'm hoping this will eventually go away with time as well.
because horses have 2 missions in life: "homicide and suicide" (i forget what professor said that)Almost got killed AGAIN by a horse today. Why do all the neigh neighs hate me? (I didn't do anything wrong...trust me, I've asked!) On the plus side, I'm still alive!
Whoa, one of my classmates (who went to SGU) told me this same quote two days ago. I think he said an anatomic pathologist told him that, if that helps you remember where you heard it. He told me who, but it wasn't someone I knew so I have already forgotten.because horses have 2 missions in life: "homicide and suicide" (i forget what professor said that)
hahaha yeah i'm thinking it was the visiting pathologist from auburn. same guy who said horses go to the glue factory, cows go to mcdonalds...Whoa, one of my classmates (who went to SGU) told me this same quote two days ago.

8 AM exams are just mean...especially when you had class until 7:30 the night before...and I slept weird so now my neck hurts if I look in a certain direction.
Maybe you should take it a little bit more easy in the sacWoke up to find something on the inside of my hip/pelvis area hurting horribly. Walking is not fun. Bending my leg up to put socks/shoes on is impossible. I have no idea where this came from. Because being sick for 5 weeks straight with 3-4 different illnesses wasn't enough. WTF?
Well, it was a bit of a rough night, haha. My upstairs neighbors decided to make the floor squeak repetitively at 2:30am, if you know what I mean.Maybe you should take it a little bit more easy in the sac
I slept 4 hours last night- 7am to 11. Ugh..I just want to get a full night's rest..
Ah, yes. I dealt with that last year. I moved to the top floor over the summer. Very glad I did. However, I feel bad for my neighbor below me because I walk like an elephant (I try to be conscientious about this). At least my boyfriend only visits every so often...so they have that going for them.Well, it was a bit of a rough night, haha.

I'm so sorry epiMy sweet, sweet boy has a soft tissue sarcoma. I want to cry for days. It's low grade, so I have a bit of time to try and scrape together enough money to pay for the surgery...school is already stressful enough.
**** cancer.
do you have receipts?My former landlord withheld over $100 from my security deposit for carpet cleaning and a new furnace filter. Yet, I already had and paid for the carpets to be cleaned when I moved out. And I put in a new furnace filter the day I moved out too. I want to contest this because it's BS, but I'm scared she's going to just steamroll over my objections.

On Sunday evening my upstairs neighbor came down to curse at me and threaten me about my parking. I emailed the landlord twice since then asking if I could change my spot since I'm legitimately worried about what he might do and I've had no response yet. Now I feel like I can't use the parking spot I paid for because I'm seriously afraid he'll come back to my apartment and hurt me. He seriously looked like he was going to hit me last time. On the plus side I guess it's only 8 months of parking on the street.
do you have receipts?
Maybe. But the check stub should be enough to prove you had it done. And you can always have your parents write up a receipt.I do not; my mom rented the cleaner for me because I was at class that morning. I did pay her back for it, so I have a check stub but that's it. And the new furnace filter was also "purchased" from my parents; they had a spare that happened to be the right size for my furnace. I did have a phone conversation with my landlord, in which she told me I could do the carpets myself to save money, and I agreed that's what I would do. Maybe she doesn't remember the conversation?
I don't think a small mistake would cause $2,000 to go to waste. Just e-mail your schools and say "hey, there's a small mistake on my application, here's the correct version."I finished my VMCAS, went over it with a fine-toothed comb, had ANOTHER person do the same...and I found a mistake in my coursework right after submitting it!!!! My $2000 has gone to waste
Do you really think so? It's a mistake in the course title.I don't think a small mistake would cause $2,000 to go to waste. Just e-mail your schools and say "hey, there's a small mistake on my application, here's the correct version."
Easy there...typos crop up all of the time. If it's a significant mistake, just email your schools. If not, leave it and relaxDo you really think so? It's a mistake in the course title.
I think it's big enough that I should. It says "Survey" instead of "Survey of English Literature." Should I just send it to their admissions emails?Easy there...typos crop up all of the time. If it's a significant mistake, just email your schools. If not, leave it and relax
YesI think it's big enough that I should. It says "Survey" instead of "Survey of English Literature." Should I just send it to their admissions emails?
this is not a major issue. it will be okI think it's big enough that I should. It says "Survey" instead of "Survey of English Literature." Should I just send it to their admissions emails?
Thank you so much! I would be devastated if this little mistake caused me to lose my chances of acceptance. I think I actually have a shot!
I'd disagree, since some schools have an upper-level english class as a prereq. If it were me I'd send a few e-mails to ease my paranoia.this is not a major issue. it will be ok
I just meant that in the grand scheme of things, if this is the biggest error on your VMCAS, you will be fine. I didn't say she shouldn't email themI'd disagree, since some schools have an upper-level english class as a prereq. If it were me I'd send a few e-mails to ease my paranoia.
it's not like you aren't sending in a transcript as wellI'd disagree, since some schools have an upper-level english class as a prereq. If it were me I'd send a few e-mails to ease my paranoia.
Yeah, but I thought if they don't match the coursework, you're out. LSU specifically mentions that errors in coursework disqualify a lot of people.it's not like you aren't sending in a transcript as well
