Hi everyone,
I'm turning to Reddit because I haven't been able to get straight answers from my vet about my dog's health issues.
A bit of background: my dog is an almost 2-year-old English Cocker Spaniel. He started showing symptoms around 6 months old when I noticed he wasn't gaining weight as expected. At first, I thought he just needed more food since he's very active, but after a few months, he had an extremely bloody stool, basically entirely blood. I rushed him to the vet, and we were told he might be allergic to meats and chicken (since this is common and what he was being fed). The vet recommended putting him on scrambled eggs for 6 weeks to reduce inflammation and allow his gut to heal, along with using Cobalaplex. After this, we were to start an elimination diet using hydrolyzed dog food or a single-source protein he’d never had before.
We started him on Purina Hypoallergenic dog food, which he hated, and he continued to lose weight. We then switched to Hill's z/d food, which he also hated and still didn't gain weight. More recently, we changed to Yora, which was great for a while, and he slowly started eating more. But now, he's refusing to eat even the "safe foods" we've identified.
I took him back to the vet, but they were not helpful. They just said, "Ahh maybe he feels sick," gave him an injection, and sent us on our way. Nothing I do seems to help him. He weighs 12kg and has never weighed more than 13kg. He is very tall for a Cocker Spaniel, so I would expect him to be around 16kg. More importantly, his hips and ribs are far too prominent, indicating he is underweight. We had some tests done (fecal test - all good), but I don't feel the vets are taking my concerns about his weight and eating seriously. I'm lost as to what to do to help him. He has also started eating a lot of grass recently and drinking more, which I attributed to the heat.
So, am I overreacting, or do I need to go and shout at some people?

Hi I'm needing some guidance/advice on a situation that has me feeling extremely helpless clueless and has affected my mental health like nothing ever has in my life. Because of it all its been hard for me to have a complete thought. In a way it's like my brain is going 100000mph but at the same time is completely blank. I'm going to summarize best I can and I apologize if anything gets confusing. Please if you are able to guide me in the right direction or advise me on what my rights are I will be extremely grateful for it. My partner who I will call B and I have been together for 12 years and we live in New Mexico. B has always been the breadwinner and I am a homemaker. Throughout the years we have acquired quite a bit of things, property, vehicles, animals (horse dogs ducks chickens) tools etc together. Quite a bit of things. Everything is in his name but we have never had any problems or had any reason to worry otherwise. Ive always just used his card and/or acct to pay bills etc. Through the years we have distanced ourselves from the majority of our families because of their lifestyles and because we enjoy the simple things and try to avoid the drama our families are always stirring up.His son who lives in texas will call about once a week which usually ends up in B sending him hundreds and at times thousands of dollars at least a couple times a month if not more which B makes good money so it's never been a problem. The end of February B had a hemorrhaging stroke and was airlifted to Texas. For a month and a half I was there 24/ 7 doing everything I could for him. He and I are very close. Its been just us two for so long. His son was still asking for money while we were up there and I told him due to the circumstances we couldn't until we knew what all was gonna happen. Long story short he wasn't happy about it and everything seemed to go downhill from there A couple weeks into being in texas our home in new mexico got broken into and so I ended up having to drive back to check it out. I was gone for two days. When I got back his son came up there and told me he had power of attorney that his dad had personally signed himself (which his father is not medically competent at this point because of the severity of the stroke. He has very little left side function and his speech was non existent to everyone except for me which was only about 5 words because he was frustrated trying to talk and not being able to so he only would try when it was us two alone ) and had me removed from the hospital and also literally grabbed my keys from my hand and took our truck leaving me stranded in the parking lot. Our truck is under Bs name. It used to be under Bs and my grandmother's both but she's now deceased so no longer on title. I'm not on title but I am on the insurance as a driver of the vehicle. His son is no where on it. All my money and keys and clothes and a lot of important things were in the truck. I have asked multiple times to see the power of attorney papers but nothing. They have a privacy thing on B so I can't get any info. I was lucky enough to have a friend help me with an old vehicle that has no ac or heater but at least runs. I have been sleeping in the Walmart parking lot for over a month now with door dashing to maintain. It is one of the hardest most low times of my life but I have nothing and nowhere to go. His son and their family knowing i have nothing and my current mental state to intimidate and bully me and won't let me go to our home in new mexico which doesnt have much left that hasnt been taken or destroyed at thos point sadly but I haven't pushed too much because idk who I can talk to with us being from and our home being in New mexico but him being in texas currently in the hospital and also texas where his son took our truck from me. I'm not sure of what legal rights I have because even though we've been together 12 years I'm not on any paperwork. My license says our address but idk if that matters and I don't want to do something that could get me in trouble and maybe effect something in the future but also his son has had all of our animals removed and are all gone from the property. I have no idea where any of them are and have heard that he has done bad things to them. His son is not a good person and very sneaky and malicious. I have no money. I have no home anymore I miss my partner more than life itself and every moment i wonder what he thinks because its been just him and i and we were best friends and does he think i just abandoned him and what has his son told him if he knew the truth of what was going on this would just kill him. I am backed up against a wall and don't know what to do or what rights I have and my mental state is getting so low I have thoughts about giving up and they are starting to scare me. Thank you ahead of time for any help.

I know none of you are doctors, just looking for personal experience!
I took 2 pills during the month of April to get out of panic attacks, one last week before a big event, and have a flight in 2 days. I plan to take one for my flight there and one for the flight back 4 days after that. I’m terrified of withdrawal symptoms and becoming dependent on it but I have HORRIFIC panic attacks almost every time I fly. My psych prescribed propranolol but I’m afraid to try something new right now when I know the Xanax works.
Is this safe?? After this weekend I have another flight mid-June, but I can’t think of another situation where I would need them after that. I just feel like I’m taking it more often than I should be or something!

Howdy all,
I previously posted on this forum about being possibly terminated from my company. After discussing with them for a while, they offered to give me one month worth of pay in order for me to resign back in April. There was an incident with me and another employee was being incredibly racist towards me, and I ended up walking off the job prior to that. There are numerous situations that exposed me to a lot of racist and unprofessional behavior from my Japanese coworkers, for example, being yelled at on the job in front of guests, and other employees, I tried to bear with it as much as I could, and I tried to educate them that their behavior was unacceptable especially for foreigners, but they wouldn’t hear it one night during service. One of the coworkers ended up, saying something completely unprofessional and rude to me during service to which I couldn’t stand it, and I decided that I would leave early and go home the next day without even hearing my explanation as to what happened and only listening to the Japanese employees the manager of the hotel told me that I “didn’t need to come into work anymore and that he couldn’t allow me to come back to work”
After that incident he didn’t allow me to come back to work and I stayed at home for practically one month while he figured out how to get rid of me.
Fast forward I had numerous meetings with HR while they “Investigate” the issue. And in the end they concluded that I was “Not able to get along with everyone”
And that I should be transferred to another location of theirs in Tokyo.
However the costs for moving would befall on me and be my responsibility.
I told them I’m unable to afford that, and that I should be allowed to come back to work. Their rudeness isn’t my fault, and I’m there to work not to get along with everyone.
They said neither option was acceptable for them, and they asked me to resign on your own.
That they would pay me for May (Which they did)
And June,
I feel like I’m getting ripped off here and we are having no a meeting in five days to discuss the resignation. They were so eager to have me sign the resignation form the day after our third meeting. Even asking me if I had any questions, I didn’t sign it and now we are having a big meeting with me, HR, and possibly the ceo of the company I believe. Or at least the big boss on the 30th.
I’m not sure what I should do here, I need my salary for June to pay my rent, and I’ve been job hunting like crazy since the beginning of May. But I haven’t found anything yet, I live in Kyoto as well.
I really can’t afford to consult a lawyer, especially since I’m going back to the states next week to visit my sick grandmother.
I’m at a loss, if I accept this resignation can I still claim unemployment while I find another job? Do I give up that right? Should I ask for a better severance?
I already tried to ask for severance up till July, but they said it’s not possible. That if I don’t resign I will be terminated, I am Shain by the way if that helps.
Any advice would be super helpful.

I've been through so much the last six years. Brother, Dad and MIL dying. Being a hard-core caregiver for the first two. Totalling my car right after my brother's funeral and 10 months off work. Diagnosed with Lupus, Lupus Nephritis and fibromyalgia. Almost died from renal failure. Living with my mom for a year helping her grieve. SSA trying to take back 22K.
I've handled the majority of these with grace. Decided that I didn't want to live my life debilitated from bipolar. From the get go I have been villigant about managing my mental health.
Three months ago my sweet angel cat, Munchkin, died. It broke me. I'm so shattered. Can't speak of him without crying. I stopped all of my Lupus meds and took the bare minimum of my bipolar meds for almost two months.
I'm back on track with my meds but, this grief is even physically painful. My psychiatrist suggested partial hospitalization as well as upping one of my three meds.
I start next week. Just going through the motions right now and trying to feel hopeful. Trying.
Anyone have success with partial hospitalization??

Hello community!
I am 19 weeks pregnant. And I am also interviewing for an absolute dream of a position tomorrow. The type of job (commute, pay, setting, schedule) I had been hoping would open before becoming pregnant.
I am looking for personal experiences, advice if you are a DOhave been, on proceeding with the interview tomorrow. I intend on returning back to work following a maternity leave. I would consider less than 12 weeks as I know I would unfortunately not qualify for FMLA. While this is not ideal, the long term benefits of this job for my family outweigh the initial loss in leave. And thankfully, my husband will have 5 months of paid paternity leave so baby will be with her dad (he works for a Canadian based company before anyone asks LOL).
Relevant: I am undeniably showing and am not planning on withholding this information during the interview. Opinions on this are also welcome.
Thank you for reading and any information you have to share!

About two weeks ago I was charging my ev6 and I got a message saying charging interrupted. I unplugged the car and turned it on and it said 12volt low pull over safety and then it died. It got jumped and I drove it in for service. Kia did the 5 recalls and said they couldn’t get it to get the error message. The car was almost full when I brought it in. They didn’t replace the iccu thing. They said it was fine. Then today after driving it for a few days I went to charge it starting around 50% and 7 times I got the message charging was interrupted. So I went out and it looked like it was still charging. I unplugged it and turned it on and it started. I plugged it back in and then it happened 6 more times. I then noticed through an app I have for my solar panels that after getting the mesage the car stops charging and then starts to charge a moment later and it was happening once every 8-12 mins. Any one have any idea of what it could be?

As requested, I am going to share a list of things I did that helped me pass my exam yesterday. Just a heads up, this list is going to be more focused on changes that I made in my personal life I strongly attribute to passing both the SIE and Series 7 on my first try while I only had 2 months to do so. I also did not have a group to study with and I did this on my own. I really wanted to prove to my boss that I deserve to work with him and I’m so glad I succeeded. Let’s get into it…

1. Eating healthy: sounds stupid but it’s necessary. You have to feed your body good food in order to help better prepare.
   
2. Getting off social media: I deleted Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok when I started studying for these exams. I found that I was able to pay attention to my studies for longer periods of time, and I actually don’t miss these apps at all. Life overall is better without them but I think they’re necessary to delete while studying for these exams. I only kept Snapchat, YouTube and Reddit because I didn’t want to be completely cut off from society and friends lol.
   
3. Taking breaks: don’t be afraid to take breaks while studying. There’s no point in trying to wrap your head around a concept if you’re pushing yourself too hard. I would study for about 20 minutes and then I would take a few minutes to chill. I think this technique is great for memorization.
   
4. Study when you feel the best: again, there is no point in pushing yourself too much. You will not be able to memorize concepts if you aren’t feeling your best. Somedays I just was not feeling well and I wouldn’t study for as long as usual. Sleep is also super important.
   
5. Study everyday: I studied everyday for at least 3 hours, most days it was about 5 or 6 hours. I do have the time to be able to do this but my boss gave me 4 weeks to study for this exam so I really had to push it. I increased it to 7 hours everyday during the last week of studying. You have to keep up with memorization. I quit my restaurant job and took a quarter off from school so that I would be able to pursue this, and it was important that I studied as much as possible.
   
6. Really try to nail concepts from the SIE: this applies to people who are getting ready to start studying for the 7, but I noticed that a lot of concepts from the SIE directly applied to what we learn on the 7. It’s important to have a basic understanding of that exam since they go hand in hand.
   
7. Believe in yourself: I’m a strong believer that you are your biggest supporter! This sounds stupid but I know a lot of people struggle with self worth, including myself. You have to be your biggest hype man!
   
8. Relaxing before the exam: this is arguably the most important thing to do. I took my exam on Monday, and last Saturday, I studied for 7 hours and then went to hangout with friends and we had some drinks. I am not promoting alcohol use, but I am promoting finding a way to relax, and that’s how I felt I needed to do it. There is no way in hell you’ll be able to pass this exam if you’re too stressed. I basically cut out alcohol and hanging out with friends while studying for this exam, so it was nice to be able to see them and be with them. It really helped with my nerves. Some people might scold at this idea, but I have no regrets.
   
9. Going with your gut: I can’t lie, I think I guessed on about 30% of the questions on the exam. This exam is EXTREMELY detail oriented, I was shocked. I honestly did not think I was going to pass while taking it. I marked about 10-12 questions for review, and then decided to not change any of my answers and to just go with my gut.
   
10. FINRA has ridiculous protocols: this sounds crazy, but sometimes, the most wild choice is the right choice. When I was taking practice exams, I would always choose answers that seemed like they would be the right answer, and the answer almost always ended up being out of pocket in some way. I cannot exactly describe what I’m talking about, but if you know, you know. Sometimes I would laugh and think to myself, “that answer is silly, but ok”. I kind of applied the same idea when I was taking the actual exam. There are some really crazy questions that will have the weirdest of answers. It’s funny in a way.
    
11. Things to study: OPTIONS!! Everything about options! Nail it down! Regulations and rules as well. Taxes are important too. Realized/unrealized gain/loss and the different strategies to sell stocks (FIFO, LIFO, etc) are important as well.
    

Good luck to everyone out there! You got this! Keep at it! It’s pointless to take the exam if you’re too stressed and if you don’t feel confident. That’s what’s most important! Cheers!

I met this woman through a friends' party - we had a lot in common, talked about our future goals - traveling, living in new locations etc, and I liked her. My friends later went out to a club after the party, as did she. I don't like clubbing for a few personal reasons and said I wouldn't be continuing on, but that I'd like to see her again.
She wanted me to come out, and was very pushy with it, even after I explained the reasons I don't like to go clubbing. I chalked it down to nerves from her and wanting to get to know me more. I felt we had something in common, so let it go, and still wanted to meet again.
We then went out for some drinks the following week, had a really great time, and, with good conversation. However, I'm not a big drinker, and I communicated this to her multiple times. Despite this, she kept picking up my drink and asking me to drink quicker, asking why I wasn't a big drinker. I'm not a fan of having to keep explaining myself - it's just not necessary?
I thought the drinking could be nerves, but had that in the back of my mind as we decided on a second date, as I wanted to see if there was any romantic chemistry. A lot of great conversation, but I was still on the fence. We later met some of her friends at a bar - but she seemed like a different person around them to the person I had been getting to know earlier. With drinking, it's like she was a different person.
Whilst with her friends she asked if we could go on a double or triple date, and to me, that's way too soon to be thinking about that, as I'm trying to get to know her. There had been no mention of double/triple dates when we had been spending time together just the two of us, and felt a little cornered when we were in front of her friends and it was mentioned.
It felt like she wanted to move faster than I wanted to, and in the end, I just didn't feel a spark romantically. I think some of that was also down to the pushiness I mentioned earlier.
She also later told me that on our first date she had turned up after drinking at a friend's garden party, but had been keeping it together. Maybe that's nerves? But it's not a great sign to me.
I decided to cut it off politely and we're not meeting for a third date. She didn't take it too well and had thought we had been getting on really well.
I wanted to know if anyone's been in a similar dating situation - with someone very pushy and not self aware? As in you've communicated your boundaries and they're not taking it for an answer?
I'm always going to stay true to myself, and I get you need to have a fun side in dating - but I really hate it when people continuously overstep boundaries after I've been more than communicative.

Hi guys- I need advice. I live with 5 people in a rental in Colorado. It is managed through a rental company but our landlord is not renewing the lease in order to sell it this fall. She reached out independent of the company and said he would give us free rent for a month if we moved out early. I said yes, then she didn’t respond.
All of my roommates have made arrangements to move out a month early and some commited to double rent for the month. It has been weeks since we agreed and she messages today and said her current landlord won’t let her out of her lease so she can’t come and live in this house by end of June like she planned. Therefore, she won’t be paying us back for rent in June. Now my roommates and I are kind of fucked since we were counting on this money.
Does anyone have any advice? I have it all written down but not sure if it’s legally binding
Thanks!

Help figuring out realistic race date and pace goals
Hello. I’ve recently gotten back into running and am all over the place. Really want to train for something and I’m not sure if I should try for a half marathon where I care about a specific time or a full marathon.
Today while trying to do a zone 2 run I initially was just going to run for 6-8 miles, then was feeling good so went for 10, and then realized I was still kinda far from home and ended up going for a full half marathon to see if I could. Kept my heart rate low for all but the last 1.5 miles. Still was not sprinting then but definitely picked up the pace. As this was not intended I did not being any fuel or water for this run but because I was going slow it really was very doable, my legs definitely felt very tired at night but still managed to go on a walk later that day. I know this is not advisable for fear of injury which is why I’m now looking for some sort of plan
I did some lactate threshold tests based on some 30 min run times and think it’s at a minimum 172. I’m a 27 yr old female.
So believe my zone two is 137-153.
Work is very very chill now so I have a lot of time to train
Starting at week 1 of a plan seems a little not needed but not exactly sure where I should jump in and what a realistic goal for me, either time or when the race should be.
Attaching pictures of some runs I’ve done past two weeks showing pace and heart rate to help get a good sense of where I am at.
Recent: 13.5 miles at 11:04 pace and 149 bpm avg heart rate (focused on zone 2 for all but last 1.5 miles) l 3 miles at 9:11 pace and 170 bpm(talking with a friend but also was pushing while keeping conversation) 3.4 miles at 8:49 pace and 168 bpm 4.5 miles at 11:48 pace and 144 bpm (first attempt at zone 2 running) 6.5 miles at 9:42 pace and 174 bpm
Runs are all over the place :/ really looking for guidance on what I could achieve if I don’t start at week 1 of a training plan. I’m really free now and would love to do some sort of race in near future. Is a sub 10min per mile marathon doable and if so when? Or a sub 2 hour half marathon and if so when? Not sure what is realistic to achieve if I want to do something relatively nearish

We're a party of players who have never played before, I'm dming and a good chunk of stuff is homebrewed for my world so I'm not having issues with rules or anything. But my party doesn't feel like a party. We've played 4 session, planning number 5 for today. My issue is one of my players wanted to play a mysterious and gruff guard barbarian, my other player is an autistic librarian bard who was homeschooled (that's his basic vibe) and it's starting to feel like it's becoming a story centric to the bard. Not for lack of trying, I extend a million olive branches and try to lull the barbarian into interactions or even reacting to things. But his only response to literally everything is "He rolls his eyes and keeps walking" or "he doesn't even pay attention to it." The guide for their group even has a history with him, which I thought would allow for some more interactions. We all agreed on a more rp heavy campaign instead of more combat based. We still have some good combat, but everyone in the party wanted to focus on interactions and a more political state of things. I've tried talking to the player about his backstory, the things he likes or doesn't, or even how to create more interactions and he just keeps saying he doesn't know and when I ask him to think about it and get back to me he says he probably wont. Lately he's been saying he wants to kill the character off, but the party is currently in a place with near nothing. No civilization at all to run into a new character and induct them into the group. They won't reach civilization for another 2 sessions (the milestone is level 6 before reaching their first goal. I was going to start in the city they're traveling to but they asked for sessions about the travels first so I had to create a whole new story for the first half of the campaign right before we started.) and the "small bad" as I'm calling it, kinda the midpoint boss before they get to the city is a 3 character fight that's been tuned to their character skills. Do I kill him off and rush a low level character into the boss fight, or do I wait until they reach the city to give him a new character?
TL;DL: it's hard to get one of my party members to interact with the story or other players at all and I don't know if I should kill his character off right before the big bad to let him make a new lower level character, or do I ask him to continue playing as this one for next week's session as well?

To start, I just bought a Purple Restore Premiere Hybrid, king, so I'm not here just to complain about spending money on fancy products. I have chronic pain, and tried and researched a zillion mattresses before landing on Purple. Got a discount, but it was still over $3000, by far the most I've spent on a mattress, and I'm stoked about it. But these pillows?! I tried them. They're amazing. But posts around here suggest they were under $100 a few years ago, $100 about a year back, and they were $130 when I was looking into them JUST a few weeks back. I waffles about pulling the trigger, because the price is high, but finally decided I'd do it today. Now they're $179??? And allegedly 10% off, at that. I don't think I could possibly be convinced that these prices aren't exploitative. There's currently no alternative to the patented Purple grid, thus, no real competition. What does that say about the company I just literally got into bed with? The ethics are troubling, to say the least. Guess I'll use normal-ass pillows till someone else invents a grid.

After so many years seen so many memes so many references and “is that a JoJo reference “ jokes, I finally decided to watch everyone’s favorite show. A few disclaimers, im not an avid anime watcher, the shows i tend to like are serious ones, the ones that dont feel too much like and anime . I like the 80s and 90s style velont movies and shows, along with new Shows Like monster, attack on titan, berserk, parasyte the maxim, 91 days, death note and the such. So just seeing clips from the show it was apparent that i might not like it, it looked like a show that was trying its hardest to be wired and give as many memes as possible.
A few things more things in wanna say before I discuss what I think about the show now, I tried watching it before and I I just couldn’t finish the first episode, I physically cringed at character, designs, and style of the show and the British accent in 1800 style of speech. So I stopped and judged you all to be weirdos after a while later I tried reading the manga and I did first chapters, but I’m not much of a reader so I dropped it, but I found it interesting enough with aztec stuff in the mask to give the show another watch and after a year or so again decided to try to watch the show again on boring evening when I have nothing to do and nothing to watch and after a couple of beers, I thought it was finally time to sit down and appreciate what everybody loves.
Episode one : I’m Laughing my ass off because of the dialogue and how the characters acted. “ jojo was annoying and I really don’t like “naive goody two shoes heroic” type characters. Dio was annoying too, but it was the stagnant behavior that made him so punchable that i waited for someone to do it. But I continued, and First episode feels… honestly to me felt like a parody someone would do of another another show ,or how some people online make parodies and abridged versions of shows, or ti make fun of anime tropes. So i kinda came to the conclusion to treat this like a comedy show honestly, but In a way that its so bad that it’s good kind of way. But i pressed on. Second episode : I have to be honest, kind of grew on me I wanted to know what was gonna happen. Back on the silly dialogue little bit, and introduce interesting plot points, and my hatred for dio and seeing him get what he deserves and the mystery about the mask made me watch the full episode. And seeing you get the shit kick out of them was very very satisfying. At The end of the episode all I thought was fucking vampires???! This Shows about vampires?! L O L I was still Still laughing my ass off, but I was having fun (granted I had a few years before) and was intrigued intrigued to still watch whatever happens next. So i continued.
Episode 3: dio was discovered??! Alright the beginning didn’t go as i had thought it would, that made me realize i should expect plot twists and wxpect the story to go plaqsses i can’t predict, and honestly that made me glad, as it probably won’t be a boring watch anytime soon. The father’s death, now it might be the boos talking but i did feel a tear coming up as he said his last words. And again, FUCKING VAMPIRES?!! Lol. So after the corrny dialogue from everyone. the fight between them was pretty much plot armor and corny as well but surprised to see the narcissistic psychopath killed. in the end i was reassured that i have absolutely no ability to predict this show, as i have no idea where this story might go from here on. But damned be me i am invested! (I tried to sound the characters lol) but yeah even though i find it ridiculous, I’m having fun with it so far.
Episode 4,5 and 6: it really killed my enjoyment of the show, it was way too dramatic and just boring and generic imo. So i stopped.
In the end i don’t think the show is for me, i will continue watching it sometimes just have to be in the right mood, i will keep you updated if i do. But tell me your experience with the show and why you ether like and dislike it yourself, always fun yo see a different view from your own.

So.. needless to say I’ve been playing rl for a bit. Sitting around 2500 hrs and peaked gc2 in 3s and mid gc1 in 2s these past 2 seasons. However, I took a 1 month break from the game because I ran into a problem of 2 dead motherboards back-to-back on my gaming pc. Now, coming back, I feel terrible. I’ve been averaging about 1-1.5 hrs/day for the past 2 weeks and have dropped mmr like a mad man. Went from almost mid gc1 to high c2 in a matter of 3 days, and I find it impossible to win at the c2 rank because of how differently they play.
I’ve been practicing with bakkesmod maps, scrimming in 6mans (and winning), and doing my same routine.
Some options I’ve been considering are: 1. Switching from regular air roll to directional and practicing that in the hopes of it making me a better player (to the point where I can ball chase my way through c2, c3, etc.) 2. Taking a break and hope that I come back to a different me lol 3. Hitting my head against the wall repeatedly in c2 and hoping to run into a winning streak so I can play my actual rank.
What do you guys recommend doing to break this funk? I’ve ran into this before but never to this level. I have never contemplated uninstalling more in my life but I just don’t have the heart to.

I just got my 90 day prescription of 5 mg, although it’s been 2 1/2 weeks since my last shot, I just took one and really really hoping I don’t get too sick, I haven’t had terrible side effects before but I had some, so I’m just hoping that going 2 1/2 weeks hasn’t sent me back too far, fingers crossed!
