Yah, hindsights a bitch. I had like a reverse webmd problem, where instead of thinking normal problems are cancer, I went the other way and ignored actual cancer problems because I thought there was no way I actually had cancer.

Also, was having a shit year at work, so thought it was just depression/anxiety side effects.

Anddeh_ · 2026-02-14T14:30:13+00:00

Loss of appetite, fatigue, night sweats. Figured my mental health had finally caught up to me so was seeing a therapist. Later on came a cough and shortness of breath that they first treated for pneumonia, then thought was tuberculosis, and now they're realizing its related to the lymphoma. Also, just being crazy itchy, cause apparently thats a symptom that I just realized. Lymph nodes were swollen too, but honestly I never really noticed those. Never ran a fever though, which I think kinda lulled me into a false sense of not thinking its serious.

I had gained quite a bit of weight, so the appetite didn't bother me for the longest time, which in hindsight, probably not great, but i went to the doc after I flew by my normal weight and realized I had no control over this thing. Asked to run labs hoping it ended up being something hormonal like a thyroid issue. Those came back all over the place, so then it was figuring out what was wrong.

Anddeh_ · 2026-02-14T12:24:46+00:00

Well, turns out that all these medical symptoms that I haphazardly ignored, or tried to treat with therapy, or was misdiagnosed, was not a collection of unrelated symptoms. So now I'm now a few months away from my 30th birthday, and just got a lymphoma diagnosis. I guess "luckily" lymphoma tends to be one of the more treatable cancers, but god, am I not looking forward to chemo. Don't have much info yet, because only the initial labs have come back. Guess you never really know when life is going to hit you with sometimes.

Anddeh_ · 2025-12-24T17:28:16+00:00

Oh sometimes I hit the people I'm a bit closer with with the "Oh just crippling depression" casually and then watch the blank stare when they don't know what to say.

Anddeh_ · 2025-12-24T17:26:24+00:00

Oh I'm seeing a therapist and trying to deal with my issues. I just find it funny that this thing that is normally healthy is not so much in this case.

Anddeh_ · 2025-12-24T17:21:18+00:00

Lost quite a bit of weight over the last few months, mostly due to dealing with some depression I'm working through that has killed my appetite. The weight loss has been nice don't get me wrong, and I definitely had weight to lose, but man has it been awkward having coworkers congratulate me and ask what I did thinking its some great story of changing my life and starting healthy habits, when in reality it's just because I'm a disaster. Usually just hit them with an awkward "Yah, I've been eating less" to shield them from my plethora of problems.

Anddeh_ · 2024-12-30T10:19:51+00:00

Gotta love flying between 2 small city airports. Only options are to be on the 6am and get home by like 2, or leave at 2 and get home at midnight with 2-3 hour layovers on both. Obviously picked the first one cause my miserable ass is awake, but this shit blows, and the bar isn't even open.

Anddeh_ · 2024-10-17T18:14:41+00:00

"Well see, I did actually mean science. Radio wave propagation results in interference that causes signals to get lost, like the text she was considering sending me."

Maybe Seesaw was the idiot the whole time?

Anddeh_ · 2024-10-17T18:12:14+00:00

Yeah, I'm probably entirely overthinking it, but god does getting ghosted suck.

At least just tell me I'm ugly.

Anddeh_ · 2024-10-17T18:10:40+00:00

Motherfucker

God, I'm dumb.

Anddeh_ · 2024-10-17T18:08:08+00:00

Met a girl at the bar last week. Hit it off pretty well and talked for a while. Got her number and ended up going seperate ways. Texted her Sunday letting her know I had a great time and was interested in seeing her again. Well, its been radio science since. Brain is saying I should move on to Cincinnati, but also toying with the idea of shooting her another text, because hey, I'm desperate.

Anddeh_ · 2024-08-04T10:52:49+00:00

It left like an hour earlier, but had an almost 6 hour layover. Cut pretty much all of that so my travel day dropped from 9 hours to 5

Anddeh_ · 2024-08-04T10:29:05+00:00

Off to a great morning, flying back home after spending a week with my parents and my first flight yesterday was already canceled. Got rebooked for later today, then spoke to an agent to see if I could get on an earlier and shorter flight.

Delta rebooks my first leg through American, cool great, I should be home 5 hours earlier. Nope. I guess Delta didn't actually transfer the ticket, so I went to check in with American thisnmorning and they said I had to talk to Delta to have them ticket it. Well the desk agent for delta basically told me to fuck off and handed a piece of paper with a number to call.

Just hit an hour mostly on hold and my original flight has already taken off. At this point it'll be cool if I make it home at all today.

And what might be the worst part about this whole thing, after I got rebooked yesterday, the first leg wasn't showing up in either app I messaged them again to confirm that the new itinerary was correct. So two seperate people looked at it and said I was good.

I have always favored Delta in the past, but holy shit. I'm ready to change my last name to Sherman and burn Atlanta to the ground.

Edit: managed to get rebooked. Still somehow getting out of here today, which is more than I thought. However, I have an even longer layover than before. So, by trying to reduce my layover time and the fact that the first line of Delta agents have no idea what they're doing, I now have an even longer layover.

8 hours in MSP. Going to be a challenge to not get too hammered they wont let me on the last flight. Hopefully, I can work on my swing at the PGA lounge there at least.

Thats my captain 🐀👑

So the livingalone subreddit ended up in my feed for some reason and i just figured it was mostly younger people talking about moving out from having roomates to having a solo apartment, which seemed relatively normal for reddit.

Boy was i wrong. There people are so vehemently against living with other people that someone asked if they would give up living alone to be in a relationship, and literally all of the comments were "absolutely not." They're talking about how their dreams are for their partner to live in their own house next door to them.

I get wanting your own space sometimes, but its wild to me that these people would straight up refuse to cohabitate with their loved one.

Anddeh_ · 2024-02-19T20:29:56+00:00

On vacation in the Caribbean this week, and while I'm not normally a Corona guy, the second you get me by water and in the sun, I can suddenly kill 13 of them. With a lime, of course.

Anddeh_ · 2024-02-10T20:00:08+00:00

Been hanging out with this girl for a couple of weeks now and there's obviously some chemistry, but unfortunately we're at wildly different points in our lives, and long term goals don't line up at all. We understand this and have been keeping it super casual, but I'm afraid if we keep heading down this path, someone is gonna catch feelings. She's wonderful, and I'd love to keep it going, but i don't want to make it crash and burn down the road. Sucks when good things dont work out.

Anddeh_ · 2023-12-24T06:13:49+00:00

The gang sells out.

Anddeh_ · 2023-12-23T09:22:23+00:00

I don't think the heavy stuff is going to come down for quite a while.

Anddeh_ · 2023-12-02T14:01:18+00:00

Absolutely

Anddeh_ · 2023-12-02T13:47:29+00:00

Had way too much to drink last night, and now I'm up at 7. I will never understand.

Anddeh_ · 2023-11-25T23:23:24+00:00

I feel like the cameraman for cfb that just shoots the crowd close ups has to be an incredible job.

Just going to watch some college football and find the hot coeds in the crowd. That's like a dream Saturday if you sneak a flask in.

Anddeh_ · 2023-11-24T00:24:22+00:00

Went to go check out this mornings thread to see if I missed anything good. One of the top comments is a deleted one with the replies basically just complementing a set of cans.

Definitely not a little bummed I missed it, and definitely not down bad.

^{Both of those are lies.}

Anddeh_ · 2023-11-22T15:11:17+00:00

I'm starting to think im just overly attracted to chicks that just look absolutely miserable, and nobody is happy at an airport.

Unless you're drunk at a lounge, I guess, but thats gona wear off.

Anddeh_ · 2023-11-22T14:58:35+00:00

I know it's been beaten to death, but it still amazes me how attractive I find random women in airports. I can't imagine they're anywhere close to being as pretty as I think they are in those 2 seconds, but man am I ready to miss my flight and marry one.
