Psychology Diva and her Ramblings

3rd year psychology student from Central Europe. #stationerysexual Loves all things neuro, psych and brain-related , and set up a blog in order to learn something while scrolling down her dashboard. Antifeminist, antiracist, antifascist, pro-choice, mixed origin. This blog is DEBATE FRIENDLY, which means you are welcome to comment, no matter how you describe yourself (meninist, demisexual, Desi, Black, White, Pink, Yellow, Blue, Green, whatever rocks your boat). Unless you think you have monopoly on truth; if you do, GTFO and visit a feminist blog, you will find a lot of similarly close minded people there. (dear Tumblr staff, I would appreciate if you stop deleting my description. Thanks.)

The brain function of people addicted to cocaine is different from that of people who are not addicted and often linked to highly impulsive behavior, according to a new scientific study.

The variation in the way that different regions of the brain connect, communicate and function in...

people with trichotillomania

[inkskratches]

Yes to people with trich. One of my roommates reblogged this saying they didn’t even know they made these until they met me. And the sad thing is, I didn’t even know they made these until I did a Google search one night in a fit of desperation. I’ve gone to so many therapists for trich, and instead of providing me resources like this, they would often leverage the fear of looking ugly as motivation to stop. If anything, it only ever made the problem worse.

These save me so much time in the morning. Before I discovered them, I would have to meticulously pencil my brows on every day just to feel normal enough to leave the house. By contrast, I can keep the fake ones on for about three days at a time, and gluing them in place takes only a few minutes with a bit of practice.

I’ve been getting mine from headcovers.com for over three years now. They’re a bit pricier than the ones offered on other sites, but they last 3-4 months if taken care of properly (meaning to buy the site’s adhesive remover as well and clean them after each use). They also look very natural. Everyone who’s talked to me about them told me they didn’t even know my eyebrows were fake until I alluded to such or took them off in their presence.

[spoonie-living]

This sounds like it could be quite useful for some of my readers!!

[trichotillomaniak-blog]

of course something ignorant was said about this product by the original tweet poster, but reblogging for the false eyebrow site^^ really thinking about purchasing some.

Going bald during chemo didn’t bother me nearly as much as losing my brows. I’m not sure if it was because I had adorable wigs or just because I was prepared for that part, but nobody tells you how much the color, thickness, and shape of your brows affects your face.

“This strong momma planned a beautiful water birth in our birth center but early in pregnancy she noticed a suspicious breast lump. After 2 separate evaluations by a radiologist saying it was “probably benign”, our CNM didn’t feel comfortable with the diagnosis of “probably benign” and decided to send her for a third opinion. The lumps were biopsied and mom was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer around 20 weeks pregnant. She had a left breast mastectomy and immediately started chemo while pregnant with her miracle baby. At 36 weeks, she was induced and birthed a perfectly healthy baby BOY. After having many of her birth choices and preferences taken from her, she really wanted to breastfeed this baby if only for a short time. After he was born he latched to her right breast all on his own and the room erupted in emotion.”

And these are the stories that no matter how sucky my day at the hospital it, it all boils down to this. Making differences. Changing lives.

This is so powerful. She went through chemo and pregnancy. She’s a very powerful person.. Wish her all the best
