Ah sorry to hear that. I haven’t heard great things about the meds.
It’s been really hard to accept the idea of potentially going on meds, but as you say, if they’re going to potentially save our lives, it’s got to be done.
To be honest, it was probably an overreaction to what was going on, but yeah, basically cold turkey. I stopped putting salt on stuff, but will go back now but less than I used to. I do tend to put a lot of salt on stuff, so that’s probably something I should sort anyway. I think I got a bit liberal after flirting with keto.
I’d already been tapering off of nicotine, and was vaping something in the range of 1-3mg, whereas those disposables are supposed to be 20mg for reference. I probably will vape again when drinking, but dropping the daily habit is a step towards quitting.
Caffeine’s been the hardest. I’ve had caffeine headaches for days. I don’t remember going a day without it, and would drink somewhere in the range of 2 - 4 coffees/cokes a day, sometimes a 2ltr bottle to myself. I’ve realised I relied on it to feel motivated and I’m kind of a different person without it. It’s weird. Cutting it out has reduced my anxiety and over thinking though, so I think I’m going to keep cutting it out.
Ahh damn it. I thought summer was finally here. I was hoping to have a day out, as it’s me and my partners 10 year anniversary (also, less importantly, our dogs 2nd birthday).
I’ve had one for a while, and have been measuring 3 times first and last thing in the day for the last 5 days. The GP’s going to decide my fate based on that. It’s been mostly sitting the cupboard collecting dust until now haha.
The Funniest Joke of the Fringe award, now in its 14th year, is presented annually to a quip or one-liner deemed most hilarious by a panel of judges and a public vote. This year’s winner was comedian Lorna Rose Treen, who captured 44 per cent of the vote with this gem:...
I just think dad jokes are coming back in fashion with younger people now. There are podcasts that have whole sections based around dad jokes. Maybe the zoomers are finding unironically funny, maybe we do just need some simple lighthearted fun.
I’m not going to be lion, I’m all here for it, and I won’t be changing my spots.
1% if the population is a lot of people, and encryption is becoming more and more important to “normal” people, otherwise WhatsApp etc. wouldn’t be making such a big deal about it as a feature.
It’s easy to feel like it’s not that bad because you’re in the swing of things and keeping your head above water, and weeks turn into months, but it’s not sustainable.
A new job can make a world of difference, it certainly did for me after a break between my old one, but it’s not always so simple and making the change can seem like a momentous task when you’re just about keeping on top of everything else.
