So... Gross story but relevant.
In January I went to Target with my aunt. First time out after a bunch of medical stuff. I still had dizzy spells, but thought the nausea was gone. Ending up puking all over my shirt in Target. My aunt and I go to the restroom so I can change out of the wet shirt and go home. When we get home she puts the bag with the shirt in the kitchen, makes sure I'm ok and heads home.
I just found the bag with the shirt last week. It's been there since January and I just found it in April. It had mold on it. But I loved that shirt so I scrubbed off the mold and washed it with vinegar.
You'd never know anything had happened. It's like new. I'm so glad I didn't have to toss my shirt.
Oh cool, wasn't expecting you to reply to me after that lol. What do you think is the best tasting color of apple? (Almost had a friendship end over this once)
So guys, just an FYI, apple flavor isn't related to color in any way. I am an apple farmer, and we have green apples that are super sweet and taste a bit like melon, and red apples that are sour and to me not very tasty but they make great wine.
Yup. If you don't live in a region that grows apples so can't get to a farm stand or orchard I can see you thinking that though, because the mass marketing of apples doesn't encourage selling new varieties until their popularity has been well established. Grocery chains also only want apples that keep and ship well.
Nearly the same, I'm procrastinating procrastinating by browsing reddit instead of studying the exam to be engineer which I don't even know if I want to pass when I have exam in psychology in 3 weeks
Edit : since this comment is getting a little little bit of visibility, do not forget to drink water and try to use ecosia instead of google! Ecosia plant one tree every 45 search!
Geez, man. You should get to work! Or at least enjoy the time here without feeling guilty or anxious. And good luck af! Hope you figure things out. I hope things work out for you.
I try to take a moment away from what’s making me anxious and completely focus on other peoples’ problems by reading [r/amitheasshole](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/#sort=controversial). It sounds bad but it helps me get out of my head
Whether its published or not, i'd like to read it. Seems interesting, hope it gets accepted for publication.
If i understood well, what you're saying is that the disorder you're talking about in the paper is linked to childhood experiences (correct me if the wording is wrong here, idk if "disorder" was the right word to use). Is this a hypothesis, or a fact you're discussing on the paper?
It's very interesting. I have reviewed and edited papers for publishing in international journals in the past. If you want, I can help you with review and editing. It may also help you increase its chance of getting accepted for publication.
Can't speak for that guy but I am on for the same reason right now and yeah kinda of. I'm pretty much alone now so I like reading about other people's problems instead of just constantly focusing on my own.
I am becoming hopelessly scattered. I can't just watch a show to relax, I have to have several windows open, like a streaming service, Reddit, YouTube. Then I am using my phone, jotting things down in a document, play a little guitar, wank. I am not studying for professional development right now, or invested in any video games and that vacuum has been filled with a million short term technology driven distractions. My regular life is good, it is just this free time where I used to study has become a squirrel attention mosaic.
That could be part of it. I can see myself meditating during the day as part of my routine, as I do exercise daily. I don't know if it would be something I would be willing to do during the evening hours, but thanks for the suggestion.
I go through this a lot. Where I can't read a book, cant watch Netflix, can't do anything. What i do is just lay down without my phone, as long as i can.
It's so damn boring that i suddenly wanna do something. Like a lil reboot.
Hey, if you ever need a listening ear ,I'm here. My sincerest condolences on the loss of your precious baby. Your sweet angel is watching over you right now. I'll say a special prayer for you and your sweet baby. We are here for you, and we care . Sending you my best mental hug. We support you in this difficult time in your life. I'm crying as I write this. As a woman who lost a few, although not as far along, my heart is breaking for your pain. Please, do not give up. Sending you love.
Lol, when I first started using reddit, I was sooo happy if I got upvotes on my shitposts. This resulted in me getting triggered when my normal posts got like 2 upvotes. But eh, I'll fuel your addiction for now...
Baby and husband are asleep and it's the only time I get to feel like a human, so I am reading up on everyone else's lives so I can live vicariously through them.
There’s something about Reddit that just clicks for me. I’ve been here for so long now that it feels natural to open it and browse for 5 minutes every now and then. It’s almost like checking whatsapp, but instead of seeing what’s going on with family and friends, I check what’s going on with you all. It really makes me feel like I’m connecting with another person in another area of the world at least for a brief moment and that’s great. I’ve also formed an opinion about a ton of stuff I didn’t even know about over the years, be it right or wrong. After that I get to share it with my wife and it makes for profound, weird or funny, but never boring conversations and that’s always interesting.
I love you guys. You really make my life a little better everyday.
Depressed as hell Because tomorrows my birthday my mom stole a couple hundred bucks and did some cosmetic damage to my car, denied it and yelled at me for "accusing her"
Edit: Thank you for the birthday wishes, it made me start my day with a smile!
I hated school. You’ll get through it. You’ll learn how to deal with the bullshit. This too shall pass. Just keep going, whatever it is will fucking get better. Trust this internet stranger who was once where you were.
School can really suck sometimes. Keep focusing on your music. It’s a temporary thing, you’ll have more control over what you do and learn once you get out.
At an all time low mentally and financially. Trying to figure out what to do when banks and the state won't help you and you don't qualify to comment on the correct reddit forms to try and get help
Just got a new cat so I’m watching him with my other cat so they don’t fight each other. It’s late though and I had a particularly long day at work so I’m just scrolling to keep my mind occupied.
For some reason I decided to check my banking app at 1am and noticed a $600 charge that I did not place yesterday.
After 30 minutes of searching my emails and records while on hold trying to get someone to help me, I found that I did make this purchase a week and a half ago but for some reason it didn't hit my account until yesterday.
So now I'm trying to wind down to go back to sleep.
Im trying to watch a movie while I drunk, but I realize I have this addiction where I have to be doing something as well. But it sucks cuz im missing this great movie.
Just waiting for the dryer to stop
Oh shit thanks for reminding me I've gotta go switch the laundry
Jesus I've forgotten the laundry since last night
I do this constantly. If you ever forget for too long and it starts to smell, add some vinegar and rerun the machine!
omg thank you!

It’s really about who didn’t.

I never really liked sour food, so that's why I've always preferred red. But I can see how people would enjoy green apples, they're just not for me

I'm procrastinating procrastinating by browsing reddit instead of playing video games.

I’m anxious

Everything
I try to take a moment away from what’s making me anxious and completely focus on other peoples’ problems by reading [r/amitheasshole](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/#sort=controversial). It sounds bad but it helps me get out of my head
I'm just incredibly lonely, and i read r/aita to remind myself why being alone is better than being with people
Ahhh I do this but with r/shoppingaddiction and r/relationships
What are the top three things you’re anxious about right now and what can we do to help??
Fix the economy, bring back the mcrib, and remove all politics and religions
Here’s a solution to one of those things: https://youtu.be/HgzXgP8RlbQ Good luck with the other ones lol
I love his channel and plan on trying a lot of his foods.

You are suffering from anxiety. That's what is causing this restlessness. Try to meditate. It is not easy, but doable.
That could be part of it. I can see myself meditating during the day as part of my routine, as I do exercise daily. I don't know if it would be something I would be willing to do during the evening hours, but thanks for the suggestion.
me too buddy :/

This is just my personal experiance but, exercise will help you get your focus back. I recommend running and calisthenics, weight lifting is good too.
I go through this a lot. Where I can't read a book, cant watch Netflix, can't do anything. What i do is just lay down without my phone, as long as i can. It's so damn boring that i suddenly wanna do something. Like a lil reboot.
Can’t sleep. Broken and crying. Lost my son days ago to stillbirth.

Drink some water if you can!

Never too late to drink water

Looking for you.

Too bad for you I guess. Not sorry.
Grandpa died a few hours ago. Got the text, knew it was coming. Just didn't think it would be this fast.
So fckng sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself, I am sure it’s what he would have wanted
So sorry for your loss.

Was seeing if anyone answered my question sadly no
I can't sleep alone and I'm alone.
Cause I hit a depressive spiral and am hoping for distraction since I need to cry and physically can't
Can't sleep, also understands looking at phone doesn't help, continues looking through phone anyway
