This is far from normal… 10hrs sleep + naps? I saw your answers about having blood tests done and coming back good. Is there something psychological going on? Heart problems? Hormones? (I don’t need you to confirm or deny, just consider it)
I have some sweaters that are mentally labeled as “work only”. No idea why, but they feel “professional” in a branch of work where people pretty much show up with dressing discards
Agree! I got a yoga mat and that was the key for me to start exercising. Even a quick workout is better than no workout.
That’s what gets me. “You visit so rarely, let me make it uncomfortable for you!”
I’m so sorry. You said you accept internet hugs, so please accept mine as well 🫂 and remember you can leave early.
Just yesterday I saw a quick scene with such unbelievable snow it put me off trying to watch any further… not surprised it could have been paper
Lately, I find weather maddening. It’s either a non-issue mid-season light sweater weather, extremely consistent across all movies and films ever made, unless it’s a monsoon like downpour -but everyone is immediately dry unless it’s a plot point. Rarely, it snows, a snows that never settles, never gives any problems, never freezes anyone’s hands.
I’m not huge on baking. Had to swap out some milk in a savoury carrot cake recipe and was fully expecting the whole thing to implode.
With cooking: eh, I have one of the three main ingredients, I’ll semi-randomly swap the rest, great result
I’m definitely on the other end of the spectrum! 8 hours is a normal day, 10-12 possible
I found some local boardgames clubs and knitting clubs that are quite chill :) [and most people playing board games are either not neurotypical or introverted, so it’s a good place to start having minimal interaction]
On a similar note, being social is a skill we learn over time. Usually, while we are teenagers, we do a lot of social faux pas because we haven’t learned yet how to interact. Since you say you spend a lot of time in your room, it’s normal that it would take you a little training before becoming more of a social butterfly. Don’t be discouraged!
What does voluntary surveillance mean in this context ?
I don’t want to arm chair diagnose anyone from a handful of words but… this sounds like depression. Being exhausted from work should happen once in a blu moon, not every day (tired is normal). Lacking motivation to do the stuff you want to do every weekend also seems like a deeper problem.
This aside: thanks for being here! It might seem others don’t care, but we do. I have a friend going through stuff. I know they are having it rough, I try to help knowing it barely does. I just hope they’ll cone out on top at some point.
I wish the same for you. If you have accessible mental health resources, please reach out to them, get a plan in place. Even if it seems useless or overwhelming. Please
70-year old neighbor lady just found out she broke a bone in her arm… 3 months ago. She said it was sore but fine, got only worried after 3 months that she couldn’t lift that much weight with it or lift her arm over her head -.- she had a black and blue arm for a week, we told her to get it checked! Even worse: she is a retired doctor -.-
Question 6 is missing ;) - and there doesn’t seem to be a need for question 5?
Are there any supports to the claim he has a Russian passport and has been helping the Russians in some way? It seems a very slippery slope to remove a citizenship!
I am cis, and that was a very important self-actualisation and self-discovery path. I was the quiet shy kid in high school. Luckily, I had some amazing friends that brought me out of my shell and accepted whatever came out. Over time (so much time!) I finally embraced weirdness and random thoughts, and acting on them. It’s incredibly freeing to just do what you want to do! I’m a “serious person” with a “serious job”, I still paint my hair silly colors and do whatever I feel like!
If I remember correctly, there are older pieces of the Bible that come from a time where Jahve was only one of a duality of Gods, male god Jahve and a female god that later got incorporated into Jahve.
Shady reference that just partially overlaps
Jesus had brothers in the apocryphal books, that are not usually recognized as part of the Bible (the church says because they have been written later than the four main ones)
I’m a parent now. I dread having to break to my kids that I have no idea what I am doing. For now, the kid is a toddler. Hopefully I will gain magical insight soon
Same. In contexts where there are a lot of already taxing elements, there is just no mental bandwidth for switching gears and doing the calculations. So calculator it is. I do find it important to hone my skills from time to time, just not to lose them.
This shit should be at the top of every news feed… but during this Trump administration, there are just too many things that should be constantly at the top of the news feed: this, Epstein, Israel/Gaza, Iran. Too many to keep track of and keep being upset about
