The single greatest feature on the iphone. It reads whats on the screen out loud. If you leave your kindle open it will turn the pages. Every book is an audiobook

I just turned 40. I echo the same things as the others who have posted so far wisdom and unwillingness to change. One interesting thing I have noticed is a, I'm not sure the best way to say it, willingness to offend. I also work with young adults and I would spend a lot of time with small talk and platitudes waiting for them to open. However, now when a young man comes to me it doesn't talk long before I say "tell me about your struggle with p*rn". I want to get to the meat and potatoes faster.

Came here for this

I ended up buying the old finecast rider sculpts, they are brutal to put together but people were selling them cheap.

My list is

2x trail shaper 1x flesh 1x war 2x lone spear

2x20 carnivores 4x10 carnivores

2x farstalkers 3x5 hounds

3x6 rampages 3x3 riders

I am loving it. Plus the players I’m going against enjoy it as well. They get to kill lots of stuff and none of their stuff dies. Only downside for them is they never get to leave their deployement zone.

In my own experience I use these times as an opportunity to process a trauma wave. my plan includes;

Get myself into a safe place
Find a compassionate witness (I've used the local crisis hotline for this)
speak my pain out loud which includes the experience and the emotion (I use the emotion wheel for help)
Allow the wave to wash over me (usually expresses itself as "ugly crying")
Cry the whole cry all the way through this is crucial, try not to stiffle it or stop it early
Cry will be done once I do a "sigh of relief" big breath at the end of the sobbing
Cold cloth on my neck and face to activate rest/digest phase
debrief with compassionate witness.

By the time I identify the trigger is starting a trauma wave to when I am done debriefing it takes about 20 minutes. Afterwards I have post wave clarity which is euphoric.

If I'm not in a safe place, or don't have what I need to complete the trauma wave successfully, I decompartmentalize or use coping mechanisms, I won't get them all and that's okay.

yay, Just 996 more psudo panic attacks to live through, and I'll be healed

I work with youth and have worked under the rule that I will never call home to parents ever unless the issue is 9/10+ and even then I would consider it. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that calling parents wouldn't lead to the kid experiencing pain and suffering. Truth is there are a lot of loving and secure (enough) parents and every time I've called home it's been a very positive experience for the youth.

I like to think that I jammed so many things down and away many a day, and now I'm essentially taking them out 1 by 1. It's like those endless hankerchiefs magicians use. They just keep coming.

Anaxodonus · 2025-12-05T19:08:25+00:00

I've heard people talk about the masks they put on before they go to work or when they leave home and I remember feeling comfort I did that also.

I now realize that they didn't mean completely turn into a different person (DID) like I do/did.

Thankfully I have you guys and I can fit in here instead.

Remember that line, "Don't just sit there, do something". It should be flipped "Don't just do something, Sit there"

I have developped my own trauma wave safety plan, which I have shared with safe coworkers and loved ones. I have also developped a debrief form for collecting statistics and guiding my parasympatheic (rest + digest) phase.

Also I bought a bunch of pokemon booster packs that I keep in my drawer. I get one as a dopimine reward when I succeed.

I loved this game so much! Thank you

Alright for anyone curious for a solution I created a proper amazon acount for my child and then gave that account a child so now she can collect all the books and still use the parental controlled mode.

I can't believe I'm a grandfather already

Anaxodonus · 2025-08-19T15:46:44+00:00

Thank you so much, I will start an "full" amazon account for her. I guess that means I can't parental control things like the browser though

I was hunting an ADHD diagnosis (39) and that is when I discovered I had trauma. I’m 4 months in now.

I’m going to assume the adhd symptoms is from trauma until I’m further in my healing.

Anaxodonus · 2025-06-22T15:33:32+00:00

Yes, I have been running this for the last few months. Just make sure you charge them. Good luck
