The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
I feel like I have stepped into the role of nagging elder relative at this point buttttttttttttt.
Medical board exam questions usually come in two flavors: 1. "We are required by weight of history and other requirements to put this in here" (which usually involves historically important acknowledge of ye old white men and deprecated theories, as well as political drivel), and 2. "No really I need to know you know this for practice" (at times especially because people aren't actually doing it).
Vitals monitoring is common for a ton of meds some of which isn't really that important some of which really really is (like say venlafaxine). In the times of Telehealth reminding doctors they actually should be doing this is kinda important. Depending on clinical specifics cardiac monitoring is also not unreasonable for ADHD meds. Granted the necessity of this is probably a bit reduced in a less.....um, lawsuit laden? environment but that doesn't mean that on paper you shouldn't be doing these things.
Perhaps most importantly they told you that none wasn't an answer so that tells you that there is something you misunderstood, didn't know, or that they were hiding behind "most likely." It's not worth fighting them about in your own head, especially because you were able to figure out the trick.
Likewise yes yes we don't really know how anti-depressants work, but you can just say the receptor of interest and move on with your life lol.
Anyway bitching like this is usually a sign that you passed, and these exams are mostly designed to make you feel like "wtf" walking out after them.
