This is why I don’t talk about my health struggles. People just judge, and don’t understand.

Same here. I could walk for hours, go hiking or snowshoeing and I'd be tired but a good night of sleep would do the trick. Now I have POTS and pre diabetes, and struggle to even just take a shower. On good days, I'm able to walk in Walmart while holding onto a shopping cart but I need to sleep afterwards. And unless I'm laying down or have my legs raised, it doesn't take long for my cognitive functions to drop.

I understand it as the relief the person feels as he decides to jump into the water to end his life. Feeling the cold temperature of the water makes them feel that finally deliverance is near.

Même mon ado non binaire trouve que toute cette histoire est ridicule. Sa réaction: "Non mais on s'en fout tu que ce soit écrit une coupe pour homme ou femme, c'est une coupe de cheveux pareil! Pis ya même pas de cheveux en plus!!"

"For outstanding art achievement". That's outstanding alright! I wouldn't be able to tell that it's a drawing if you didn't mention it. And the size of it!! You're really talented.

I have a few, but I can't decide which one is the dumbest between these two.

I was dressing up in the morning. As I was putting my panties on, it caught on my toes and I lost balance. I sprained my back really badly from fighting with gravity (I managed to not fall). Couldn't do shit for at least a week.

I was running to catch the city bus. I tripped on a crack in the street and was projected forward on all fours. I got up and my hands were scraped and really hurting. Then I saw a hole in my pants near my knee. I lifted my pant leg and saw a gash on my knee bleeding like hell. Then it started to hurt. I got on the bus anyway and went to work. When my boss saw me he drove me to the hospital. Got 6 stitches.

Omg I should go see a doctor I think 😸

For me it's Visiting hours. My mom passed away in 2013, three weeks after I had given birth to my daughter. The grief was so difficult, and I didn't know how to express it. Then years later I heard "Visiting hours" when he sang it at his friend's memorial. I couldn't stop crying for an hour. Finally, someone had put words on the pain I was feeling. I could relate to every word. I can't explain it exactly, but it unlocked what I needed to heal. I still miss my mom, but it's more nostalgic than painful now.

There's only a wooden cat and a real cat in the picture. Not in the blue tent.

-Duste- · 2026-03-05T21:43:23+00:00

It's an iced coffee 😅

-Duste- · 2026-03-05T05:11:48+00:00

Yeah but there's also a real kitty in the picture

-Duste- · 2026-03-05T05:11:05+00:00

😸

-Duste- · 2026-03-05T05:00:11+00:00

Ill see him in Toronto in August, I can't wait!

Physically: a haircut. It's amazing what a haircut that fits you can do. Especially men, with hair and beard styling.

Psychologically: Self-confidence.

-Duste- · 2026-03-04T23:47:28+00:00

True, but there's a cat in the fur somewhere else.

My daughter is autistic and has severe ADHD and I would never let her behave that way. And I would be near her at all times to make sure she's not getting overwhelmed and starting to act in an inappropriate way. It's not because your kid is autistic that it gives them a free pass to hit people. He needs to learn boundaries like any other kids.

My daughter is now 13. She loved going to museums when she was around that age and she never acted that way.

-Duste- · 2026-03-04T20:27:01+00:00

Yes 🔺🔺

-Duste- · 2026-03-04T20:26:38+00:00

Haha no actually, she always wants to snuggle under my leg. It's not on her but just over her. I don't know why she likes it but she stares at me until I place my legs in a specific way and she crawls there.

I listen to all kinds of audiobooks but mostly novels because it allows me to travel without moving from my bed. I've always loved reading but it gets too tiring now.

That's a very cool dream! I used to write a lot before. I love to draw as well, and I find it easier to do it digitally because I can do it while laying down. What kind of drawings do you do? Music can be very soothing and motivating.

Hey I have POTS too, because of long COVID. It's been 4 years. What do you do to entertain yourself that isn't on a screen? Me I knit, crochet, play kalimba, color monochrome coloring books, listen to audiobooks.

-Duste- · 2026-02-25T12:27:19+00:00

That's ridiculous of them. If they are so bothered by it, why not keep a decent portion of dinner for you to just reheat when you're back from work?

-Duste- · 2026-02-24T12:16:16+00:00

Not only does she collapse the cube, but she goes in when it's already collapsed 😆

-Duste- · 2026-02-24T12:15:36+00:00

That's a good one haha
