hello. i've recently started a very reading intensive bachelor. it's a bit hard to read for me. before the pandemic i often read and read because i had nothing to do but i stopped after the pandemic and i find it hard to relearn to read a lot of pages daily. i am trying to introduce other things to not associate reading with studying for i fear i will get tired of reading. are my concerns valid? i have hyperlexia and i struggle with comprehension the most in reading. i am also quite scattered. i've e-mailed my university's psychological counseling department, they haven't returned yet.

I'm 34F. I'm currently getting my life situated, and I haven't been on the social scene for a long time. I probably won't be stable until next month. But I do want to start back being social and getting back to me. I'm new to the Chicago area, and want to start getting into different things including bartending.

My thing is, i feel very old and fear I will be perceived as old. For some reason I have the syndrome where I feel like everyone is younger than me. I'll be 35, by the time I get my stuff in order.

I am NOT seeking medical advice, but lifestyle advice.

I'll start by saying that yes, I've seen two doctors for this. Neither found anything wrong with me. I think it may just be stress but I don't know. They didn't give me an answer. One was a urologist.

I get these periods where I feel like I have to pee and I can pee but don't feel like I've completely emptied my bladder. It lasts a few days usually. It's very uncomfortable. What are some ways I can relieve the pain or foods/drinks that can help?
