#study anxiety

[financeprincess]

I love Tumblr and Pinterest and YouTube but you seriously need to get off your phone as much as possible if you want to make actual changes. Stop the doom scrolling. Turn off notifications. Turn on DND. Log off. Delete apps. Delete accounts altogether. Unsubscribe from texts and emails. Put time limits on the apps on your phone. Unless social media is making you money, limit it as much as possible. Overloading yourself with information is just another form of procrastination. At some point you actually have to take action. Less consumption, more creation.

This is maybe an odd thing to put on a good news/reasons for hope blog, but I've also had people tell me that they find this info really, genuinely comforting, so I'm putting it up. Also, further understanding could do a ton to advance medicine, esp. re: allergies, autoimmune diseases, and depression. You can read more about this at the link.

"More than half of your body is not human, say scientists.

Human cells make up only 43% of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic [co-contributors].

Understanding this hidden half of ourselves - our microbiome - is rapidly transforming understanding of diseases from allergy to Parkinson's.

The field is even asking questions of what it means to be "human" and is leading to new innovative treatments as a result.

"They are essential to your health," says Prof Ruth Ley, the director of the department of microbiome science at the Max Planck Institute, "your body isn't just you."

No matter how well you wash, nearly every nook and cranny of your body is covered in microscopic creatures.

This includes bacteria, viruses, fungi and archaea (organisms originally misclassified as bacteria). The greatest concentration of this microscopic life is in the dark murky depths of our oxygen-deprived bowels.

Prof Rob Knight, from University of California San Diego, told the BBC: "You're more microbe than you are human."

Originally it was thought our cells were outnumbered 10 to one.

"That's been refined much closer to one-to-one, so the current estimate is you're about 43% human if you're counting up all the cells," he says.

But genetically we're even more outgunned.

The human genome - the full set of genetic instructions for a human being - is made up of 20,000 instructions called genes.

But add all the genes in our microbiome together and the figure comes out between two and 20 million microbial genes.

Prof Sarkis Mazmanian, a microbiologist from Caltech, argues: "We don't have just one genome, the genes of our microbiome present essentially a second genome which augment the activity of our own.

"What makes us human is, in my opinion, the combination of our own DNA, plus the DNA of our gut microbes."

It would be naive to think we carry around so much microbial material without it interacting or having any effect on our bodies at all.

Science is rapidly uncovering the role the microbiome plays in digestion, regulating the immune system, protecting against disease and manufacturing vital vitamins.

Prof Knight said: "We're finding ways that these tiny creatures totally transform our health in ways we never imagined until recently."

It is a new way of thinking about the microbial world. To date, our relationship with microbes has largely been one of warfare.

#Bisan’s voice memo made me go insane I haven’t been able to sleep all night and now I’m just up w crushing anxiety about it #I need to go on a run or something but I have to study #I just feel physically sick and idk what to do with myself #I just wish people didn’t have to die #Please don’t be worried about me btw I’m fine I just feel wired.

New research suggests that a decades-old drug can alleviate anxiety issues in kids and young adults with autism.

Individuals on the spectrum who took the blood pressure medication propranolol exhibited significantly less anxiety after three months compared to those given a placebo, according to findings published recently in the journal Psychopharmacology.

For the study, 69 participants with autism between the ages of 7 and 24 were randomly assigned to take propranolol or a placebo. They were assessed at the outset and then again after 12 weeks.

The researchers found that anxiety declined in those in the propranolol group, but no changes were observed in social communication skills.

“The findings show that propranolol could serve as a helpful intervention for reducing anxiety for individuals with autism,” said David Beversdorf, a clinician at the University of Missouri’s Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment who led the study. “This drug has been around since the 1960s and is very inexpensive.”

There is significant interest in identifying medications that can help address symptoms associated with autism. To date, only two drugs — the antipsychotics risperidone and aripripazole — have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat irritability associated with the condition.

“Up until now, we haven’t had any known drugs that target psychiatric issues specifically for individuals with autism, so these results are very promising and can support future research,” Beversdorf said.

FUN FACT!!!!!

The only thing I use my political science degree for is constantly being upset at the constitutional crisis we’re in right now, at a Bachelor’s of Arts level.

#this is a joke bc I studied political topics very close to my heart and interests #and I use my critical thinking skills I gained literally 100% of the time #but my work isn’t super related #and my constant panic and anxiety about news involving 45 is

because of medication shortage, today is my first day off slow-release ADHD medication and it made me realize a thing or two:

You mean to tell me I've been feeling like this my whole life and only two years ago I realized that this state is less than ideal??? I'm honor citizen of delulu island bc what is this

(thankfully I do have regular/instant-release medication, so I can effectively study for finals)

#adhd #it's actually funny to me #bc this really puts into perspective my experience and symptoms #the brain fog and flailing my limbs to ease the tension and the anxiety #hopefully concerta will get restocked soon #otherwise im in for a fun ride #anyway back to studying psychology mmkaybye #adhd problems #adhd things

fourth yr of law school. on days i feel especially demotivated or lost it’s nice to look back and remember that i (a) didn’t know i’d make it into law in the first place and (b) upon making it to law, whether or not i’d survive the year. (i spent that first semester crying in public areas and trying not to get kicked out. i officially cannot get kicked out anymore) reaching this point has taken the help kindness of many, many friends, strangers, long-suffering professors, family. but i suppose some of it was also my hard work and a little courage.  time to go to bed soon. we’re meeting up with clients at the internship clinic.

Just finished week 1 of my final semester

...is anyone else going through an existential crisis, or is it just me?

#im so lost abt what i want to do once i graduate #like all of a sudden ive developed the fear of the unknown which i never had #like anxiety everyday bc career wise im lost #i want to work abroad but its impossible to land jobs right out of uni #lmao watch me just go become an english teacher #notes #studyblr #language study #study notes #chemistry notes #english notes #bullet journal #bio notes #business student #study #study tips #lifestyle #studyspo #studyspiration #study space #notes spread #bujomonthly #bujoweeklyspread #monthly bujo #bujoinspo #bujo aesthetic #bujosetup #uni notes #uni studies #studyabroad

Why is it that every single recreational drug is like “this will completely cure your anxieties! You’ll feel like you’re floating on a cloud you’ll be totally euphoric… that is if it doesn’t randomly do the other thing. Which is increase your anxiety tenfold and send you to hell. Anyway if you wanna try it it’s a total gamble 👍”

#weed ketamine mushrooms. all have studies behind them about how they can both cure and cause anxiety

everything is still so good!!! heartbeat is super fast and strong and is now firmly in the upper band of healthy/normal. behold the little seahorse (now less seahorse-y because its tail is almost gone) floating around in there attached to its little yolk sac inner tube!!

#pregnancy tag #iui tag #my doctor is being super nice about my pregnancy anxieties #she was like even when you switch to prenatal care you can come in anytime for a quick scan to see the heartbeat/reassure yourself #it's no big deal and we'd rather you felt secure than stressed #i am going to try to wean myself off needing to see regular scans #according to this one study my chances of a live birth rise to 98% after seeing a strong heartbeat at 8 weeks #so i think i am just like... barring disaster... having a kid #i think my body is just like... growing a baby #and seems to be doing it with minimal fuss so far lol. i don't feel unusually fatigued #and i'm only mildly nauseous some days some of the time #aaaaaa ok. well. here we are #moving forward!!!

i finally finished one of my assignments!!! i’m so tired but so so relieved right now!!! i was supposed to evaluate and classify an english book’s (internationally used) writing activities and the book had 12 units, each of them consisting 4 parts. i classified all the reading activities i found, then evaluated how the book handles writing as a skill. i have one assignment left, and three exams to take this tuesday and study for. oh, and i also went to a cafe on my own to study, which i’m proud of because it used to give me so much anxiety but now i can just chill on my own!:]
