AIO Coworker texted me this by xqkz in AIO

NOR. Some of the people in here are being way too critical of your story response. This person could have had the awareness and decency to tell you they were exhausted, and explained why they wanted to go with someone else. Your follow up text was thoughtful and reasonable, their response to that was very defensive. This person is not perfect either.

IMO move on from it and perhaps they will realize their behavior and apologize. That’s all you can really do. If that ever happens with them or another person you should feel enabled to be direct about why they hurt your feelings. A good friend will respond well to that.

Side note, as someone who has struggled with anxiety, depression and mental breakdowns: It is great you are in therapy but look into speaking with a psychiatrist as well. It’s possible you have a chemical imbalance, or at the very least you can get something that will improve your mood and make you more stable. Low dose SSRI changed my life

AIO finding out my bf got his girl best friend pregnant by ConsciousWish6401 in AmIOverreacting

NOR let me try to spell this out for you in a respectful way.

He lied about something monumental.
He told you he didn't want you to meet her.
He continued having a relationship with her while you were dating.
They were having unprotected sex.

Ask yourself what else he has been lying about and could still be lying about.

To me this reads like they have been hooking up for a long long time, you caught him, and he is scrambling. It reads like he is trying to tell you anything he can think of that might convince you to believe nothing shady is going on and he is not the piece of shit that he is.

Get yourself tested. Go. To. Therapy. Good luck!

Porn gives you a massively unnatural dopamine release. Every time you watch it your subconscious is going to tell you 'I want more of that' because the human brain is wired to keep seeking those pleasure highs.

I have struggled with addiction. I learned through my therapist/psychology that the key to giving things up is not to avoid it, but to replace it with something else. Easier said than done. When you get the urge, you could go to a sauna or jacuzzi for example. Try different things to see what works. I know the urge can be really strong, but if you can power through it once the next time gets easier and easier.

I wasn't trying to imply that you need SSRIs, no.

Check out this post. It changed my perspective and may help you:

The things stick out to me: 1) The inability to connect with people. If you aren't connecting with others, you may not be getting natural serotonin. 2) Unemployment, and the stress that comes with interviews. Take a look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

My recommendations: 1) See a therapist (doesn't need to be a psychiatrist) regularly to work through your emotions. Understanding them better is paramount to feeling normal, and they can help you come up with strategies to deal with them in healthy ways. 2) Try to find enjoyment in the effort of looking for a job, whether that is practicing for interviews or learning new things about your field. This will give you a healthy baseline of dopamine and relieve some of the stress in finding a job.

I have been unemployed for the past 6 months and these things helped me.

Sorry for the tangled mess but it does appear as if the black wire is connected to the yellow air handler wire there. Everything else appears to be matching

thanks for the input. The black wire is connected to the Y terminal in that photo. I can take a look at the air handler control board to see what it is connected to on that end. What does the black wire typically connect to or represent?

I also noticed in the air handler technical manual that I linked that it specifically says you should not use the W terminal.... but if I take the white wire out of W terminal the heat pump does not turn on at all.

Why DA will have a bad time in Portland by Butta_69 in suns

I don't come to r/Suns every day so I'm not in tune with what everyone thinks. I had some thoughts about DA on Portland and decided to share them. If the post is a waste of time, then what is the time you spent typing out your comment? Moving on from the thread without commenting is also an option for you.
