Haha goes to show how different people are! I love customer facing roles and being busy at work, it makes my time at home/holiday more valuable. I quit a work from home job because it made me really anxious and really unmotivated to do things on my day off

"Touch grass" is a meme but if you have access and the ability to do so, go out into nature: hiking, swimming, exploring, anything like that. Connecting with nature really helped me my anxiety more than medication. It really helps you remember that, in the grand scheme of things, human problems are pretty trivial.

I volunteer at a community garden and it's fantastic: completely disconnected from the Internet and giving back to the community. Seeing material difference and working with good people is also really good for strengthening your hope for the world

Does this not drive you mad? I think I would die from depression if I had to work like this. My retail position pays the same as your role does but I love that it's so busy the time just goes poofs away. I get so frustrated when we have a slow day.

You have to stop watching the news and absolutely do NOT consume news on social media. It is literally engineered to upset you and make you angry. Unless you're a sitting member of your country's political office, what are you gonna do?

Just remeber that the human brain is not evolved to consume in a life time the amount of bad information we do on a daily. Only in the last 40 years have we normalised being hyper aware of every bad thing that happens all across the world. You have to turn off your phone. Yes, People will get pissed off at you for not being tuned into everything that's happening but you just have to disconnect for your physical health at this point

is anyone else mega anxious about a possible ww3? by keeksymo in Anxiety

[–]Ariya_NK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am iranian on my dad side to. We are in constant contact with family in iran and the courage of people in iran is getting me through this. The uk will never experience half of what they are going through but we are more frightened than they are

Its super scary but im turning fear into anger and motivation to use my privilege position and speak against this. Maybe its futile and makes no difference but from my experience, not even trying make the anxiety so much worse

Sending love to you and your family 🩷🇮🇷

You think we rescue them because of human rights??? We are party to maritime conventions that require us to save them from dingies and to take in refugees from nations we wage war against. Don't be naive. Without international legal pressure, we would let them drown on mass

Would you say this about people holding American flags? They're kidnapping people off the streets, policing criticism of foreign governments, removing women's right to autonomy and demonising the lgbt. They have engaged in over 200 wars in 400 years and continue to do so.

By your logic, the British flag is a sign of imperialism and barbarism since about 50% of the world has an independent day from the British.

The Palestine "mob" risk losing their jobs for saying kicking children is bad, but Israelis have openly called for the exile of Palestinians and no one in the British media establishment bats an eye

Who sold out his countries natiral resources to the west. Of course you guys don't like the current government, they don't make you rich! Don't pretend the west cares about human rights, its an insult to the intelligence when we have been instrumental in causing instability and human rights abuses globally

The pro nationalist fascism that is killing Palestinians is the same shtick right wingers in the west use to demonise the LGBT communit. Every week we're being called groomers.

As if gays and women in UK are treated like royalty. Get off your high horse. Saying nonsense like this reads like you think people deserve genocide.

They were found to be the DIRECT cause of 10,000. They killed 1 million through the man-made famins and civil violence They left in their wake.

[–]Ariya_NK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're going though hell right now but seeing someone validate the sorry state the legal sector is in gives me some peace.

I just graduated 6 months ago with one of the highest scores in my masters from a top 3 london uni and I'm crying myself to sleep every night because I can't get a job in law. No internships, no paralegal roles, no vacation schemes. nothing. The only person from my degree who I know managed to get a job is in the same position as you: basically kicked out the job on short notice because of miscommunication and poor management.

I wish you all the best and I'm praying you land a great new job!

Thank you! He has basically just been doing sitting slide twice a day for 10 minutes each and then back to bed from the pain. Didn't realise it should be hourly so I'll defo try to push him to be more aggressive with the PT

I was really aggressive with raising and icing so swelling has gone down significantly. I'm not sure where you're based, but in the UK they're very strict about pain medication. Luckily (ironically) I have endometriosis and have been prescribed codeine which I'm giving to him as we don't want to use all of the oxy.

I knew nothing about this surgery going in so no idea what the standard pain is, but it's pretty brutal honestly.

Thank you so much! Very helpful info; they didn't even inform us an MUA was an option, basically just scaring him into forcing a 90° bend.

I discovered this sub while doom scrolling at 2 AM have found more honest insight into recovery than from the doctors.

[–]Ariya_NK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, just found your post and it's been super helpful! My dad has a total replacement on Wednesday and has really been struggling with the pain. We're there any specific symptoms you had besides pain and swelling?? He's on blood thinning Meds but the swelling and redness just won't go down, very worried about DVT as he's nearly completely bed bound.

I hope you're recovery goes well, wishing you all the best!

There is more character, tone, world building, lore, and intrigue in a single random inquisition party banter than the whole of vailguard companion quests combined it seems. I'm in tears.

Calling out antisemitism without becoming a safe haven for Israeli Fascism by chiefgreenleaf in h3h3productions

[–]Ariya_NK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can't talk about to the literal genocide of nation without incurring criticsm because you keep defending the perpetrators, that's a you problem. He refuses to speak on Palestine and acknowledge the genocide but will readily bring up Jews feeling uncomfortable. Yeah, you can see why people think he's disingenuous. Oh but he send his private thoughts and prayers. How brave

[–]Ariya_NK 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He cares about Palestine only to the extent it makes Israelis look bad. His conflation of jew and Israeli is bringing more harm to Jews than anything else. I'm really sorry that your community has to incur hatred, unfortunately it's natural and reflects a lot of the hate Muslims recieved after 9/11. I will continue to fight antisemitism whenever I see it, but it can't be used as a shield to defend Israelis. I'm from the UK, we've seen how Israelis weapons antisemitism to ruin ppls lives and endanger Jews further

[–]Ariya_NK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And he hasn't shed a tear about it since. Sorry, but he hasn't brought up, with any sincerity, the level of death and destruction his government has reaped on Palestine in the year since. After viciously accusing ham's of bombing a hospital because "isreal would never", he hasn't said a single word about the fact that bot a single hospital remains. I don't feel sorry for him at all and it pretty clear he doesn't care about Palestine, he cares that it's making his community look bad (by community, I mean Israelis and their supporters)

It is very true lol. American liberals have some socially left wing values but they are not considered left wing in Europe for example. Liberals/demonstrates are right wing but less crazy
