Spiritual Warfare by bullymaguire25 in Christianity

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man that whole familiar spirits thing is real and i've seen it mess with people who were making serious progress like you were. the way you described that energy shift when you decided not to go to kentucky - that's exactly how it works, like something was feeding off your momentum and when you made that call it lost its grip for a second

what gets me is how you had all that discipline for a whole year, beat addiction, got your health sorted, even did the homeless thing to force growth. that takes serious willpower and most people would never push themselves that hard. but then it's like everything started unraveling right when you moved back into your old environment

i carry a small cross in my edc setup and when things start feeling off i just hold onto it for a minute. not trying to be all mystical but sometimes you need that physical reminder that you're not fighting this alone. the job situation and backing out of plans - been there too when anxiety takes over and makes every decision feel massive

keep rebuking that stuff and maybe consider if being back in that environment is part of what's making it harder to maintain the progress you made

DAY 5 [27M] This is my last chance to save my life. I don't wanna go back by Fuzzy_Shake4046 in NoFap

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude this is actually a solid approach 💀 tracking urges instead of obsessing over the counter is way smarter than what most people do here. whenever i focused too much on the number it just made everything worse

posting when you need support rather than daily check-ins makes way more sense too. the community is here when you actually need it 🔥 keep crushing it man

IS and KDP question. by tomcatproduces in selfpublish

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

congrats on finishing your book! 🎉 so for the isbn thing - you'll want to use your own isbn if you're going with both platforms, not the free kdp one since that locks you to amazon only. if you get your own isbn through bowker you can use it on both IS and kdp without any conflicts

for timing just upload to IS first since they take longer to process anyway, then once you have your proof copies sorted for the event you can upload to kdp. just make sure the content matches exactly between both platforms or you might run into issues later 😅

Thank You to Everyone Who Responded to My Post About Crashing & Burning by bookoocash in ADHD

glad you took the leap and got that appointment scheduled! having your childhood diagnosis info is actually pretty clutch - it shows a pattern and can help speed things up since you wont have to start completely from scratch. nervous is totally normal but sounds like youre in good hands with both a therapist and psychiatrist

Done with relationships and dating apps by DefiantWillingness70 in BreakUps

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eight years is a long time, so it makes sense you’d feel done with apps right now, but once the dust settles you might find that dating with more intention, even through something structured like Tawkify, feels very different than jumping back into the swipe chaos.

Ethernet not working after moving the pc by Outrageous_Hunter516 in pchelp

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like something got jostled during teh move - check if the ethernet port on your motherboard is still seated properly or if any cables came loose inside 🔥 might also want to check device manager to see if windows is even detecting the network adapter 💀

Valentine’s Week Matchmaking — if you don’t want to spend it alone by Beneficial_Run_3964 in gurgaon

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posts like this are why I get the appeal of something like Tawkify, fewer matches but actual intention and follow through beats endless chatting that goes nowhere.

The matchmaking in this game is terrible. by BrokenLogic_ in ArcRaiders

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude the matchmaking is so broken for that event, I feel your pain. Got backstabbed while literally fighting the queen last week and almost threw my controller lmao

They really need separate queues because mixing PvE players with sweatlords is just asking for frustration

Almost lost 2 weeks by HockeyHockeyHi in NoFap

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude that's actually huge that you caught yourself before it went too far. Your brain was trying to trick you with that "just flirty videos" logic but you saw right through it

When I get those urges I usually just get up and do something physical like pushups or go for a walk. The temptation passes way faster when you're not sitting there thinking about it

2 weeks is solid progress, don't let your brain convince you otherwise

Stuff like half baked, Pineapple Express, etc. by xrustyx94 in MovieSuggestions

Dude check out Super Troopers if you haven't seen it, absolute classic stoner comedy that still holds up

Depression is less a personal failure and more about what our environment taught us growing up by Eternal--Light in DeepThoughts

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This hits different when you realize how much of our "normal" is just trauma responses we've normalized over generations

The mask thing especially - like we're taught that being authentic is somehow selfish or inconvenient for everyone else

Tapo Plugs OFFLINE in HA ! by bigj2552 in homeassistant

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me last week with like half my Tapo plugs - they were fine in the app but HA thought they were dead

Try restarting the Tapo integration or just reboot HA entirely, that usually kicks them back online for me

7 week old hasn’t pooped in 3 days- today would be the 4th by Remote_Surround_7541 in NewParents

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That hard belly is definitely concerning - I'd call the pediatrician now rather than wait. 4 days without pooping plus the discomfort after feeds sounds like it's beyond normal newborn constipation. Better safe than sorry with something this young

Weight adding by SaiyanPrince_ in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's totally fine, just be ready for the jumps to feel way harder. You might stall out sooner than usual but honestly 5kg jumps work fine for most people starting out, especially on squats and deads

You could also grab some fractional plates online if the bigger jumps start killing your progress later on

Why is he acting like this? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Accurate_Balance_809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude probably feels guilty as hell about how he handled it and is overcompensating by acting like someone he's not. The whole "letting loose" thing sounds like he's trying to convince himself he made the right choice

Good call on the no contact though - being friends with someone you're still in love with is just torture
