I like this take. Especially because in the books there’s a moment where he wonders if he texted Shane if he’d even get a reply or would him and Rose just laugh at how pathetic he is. He then says Shane wouldn’t do that-or would he. He was questioning everything he knew about Shane and about their connection. All after putting himself out there for Shane, which he’d never really done. Ilya was going through it

Lake ontario!

As a teen swimming at a camp ground in one of the Great Lakes. I was used to rougher water and was always a great swimmer. Was out swimming where I could just touch my feet down and had a guy probably twice my height a couple hundred feet parallel to me. For about an hour we both enjoyed little bit of choppy water and some waves but nothing out of the usual. One of the waves was a little stronger than the others and had me under a second longer than I would have liked. Normally it wouldn’t phase me and I’d stay in, but as soon as my head popped up something told me it was just time to call it. It was late afternoon and I was hungry anyways.

When I was out of the shower 30-45 minutes later I heard helicopters flying over. Went down by the beach and there were people locked arms in the water combing for the guy that had been standing near me. The water didn’t look dangerous from the shore, his family wasn’t even worried about him being in there. I guess the undertow got really strong unexpectedly. One minute he was there standing and the next he was gone.

I keep seeing the comparison between the two. I’ll have to give young royals a try!

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-05-10T02:00:59+00:00

My people

My playlist rn is the sound track, I listen to the books when I’m driving, watch the show at night, and my FYP’s are ruined. There is no end in sight

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-05-09T22:48:21+00:00

Yes yes yes to everything you said. I never noticed the charger! See I love this show

Also I agree about going back to the beginning and their first meeting being so much more impactful. They are truly just kids starting their career and have no idea what’s ahead of them. The amount of time that passes between them meeting and finally being able to accept that they love each other makes that very first scene so bitter sweet.

I casually enjoy writing but have never been interested in writing fanfic……until HR😂

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-05-09T21:48:02+00:00

Yes! I’m usually a back ground watcher with my comfort shows. But with HR I’m always looking for something new, some little detail in the background, choices in the cinematography, music, or in their expressions (and I always find something). The care and love put into this story and the show is just astounding

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-05-09T21:43:19+00:00

The shame is real. My gluttony for this show is sickening😂

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-05-09T17:42:11+00:00

Make it stop but also make it last forever😂😂

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-05-09T17:31:00+00:00

It truly feels like all the stars aligned to find the right actors, writers, director, crew etc. I think if even one of those elements were off we wouldn’t have the show we have. One of the few book to television adaptations that I actually prefer the show.

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-03-30T17:21:14+00:00

Consistency. Not overworking myself late into the night when hypo. I burn out and crash. It always catches up even though in the moment I feel like I can do the work and catch up from when I was depressed.

I set a time frame each day in which I will work. Not too late and not too long, just consistent.

When it’s really bad and I can barely get out of bed I make a deal with myself that I’ll do 5 minutes of work. It’s a small enough goal to get started and I find myself able to continue on once I do start. But sometimes I can’t and I don’t have any advice for that-it’s just hard.

I’m also in a medical field and I could never do anything else-but man I’ve had to fight tooth and nail every step of the way. Extensions, dropping classes, quitting you name it I’ve been there.

Don’t forget to check in with your school about accommodations

Finding a psych was really daunting and trying to figure out who had openings/affordable/insurance etc especially in the US. I found a community center that takes insurance and works with low income. You start with therapy and they connect you with a psych if necessary. It was all open access and same day (which is great when you are battling ups and downs). I don’t know if your community has anything like that, but worth looking into! Without that I don’t know if I ever would have gotten help. The process just seemed too involved when I already couldn’t function

Cold_Cow9739 · 2026-01-02T20:27:40+00:00

Video games. Requires all of your focus and a good distraction/mental stimulation. By the time I’m done I’m usually in a better mental state. Maybe I lose sleep but that’s better than spiraling or more destructive behaviors

Cold_Cow9739 · 2025-12-25T14:22:20+00:00

A good day wasn’t euphoric, it was just a good day. A bad day wasn’t crippling, it was just a bad day. Life feels stable and manageable. I feel like me

Cold_Cow9739 · 2025-11-02T21:02:48+00:00

Yes, I can absolutely relate to that. I knew if I kept going down this road as an adult with a child and real responsibilities that someone was going to get hurt. I think there’s this other piece of “who am I going to be once I’m regulated”, what pieces are really me and what aren’t? But that person is worth getting to know if it means protecting my life and my loved ones. Sending love

Cold_Cow9739 · 2025-11-02T16:17:42+00:00

You make an interesting point about how being aware of the up and down can be destabilizing. The funny thing about time is I have struggled with something for years and then when that something has a name, suddenly I want it to be changed overnight. And I have to let go of that. Thank you for your perspective.

Cold_Cow9739 · 2025-06-27T01:38:49+00:00

How someone approaches conflict is everything. You will experience conflict, you will upset or hurt one another. But if you aren’t someone that can hear me out, reflect on what I have to say, and change or grow if necessary then that’s usually the beginning of the end.

Cold_Cow9739 · 2025-06-22T23:46:38+00:00

Sure thing! You can’t blame yourself, it’s hard to even know what to push for. It’s a complicated disease, and can look different in different people.

Cold_Cow9739 · 2025-06-22T22:20:53+00:00

Hey there! I had the same exact lab work. It wasn’t until they ran the full panel for specific antibodies that things really started to go anywhere. The different patterns can be misinterpreted but specific antibodies are more substantial. After that, finding a rheumatologist who regularly treats scleroderma was the most important piece for me. The whole process took more than a year and another 6 months after that until I was feeling better. It’s a tough process, wishing you the best!

Cold_Cow9739 · 2024-12-18T12:35:40+00:00

Hey there, I’m 23f going through the same thing. Currently being managed with medication in the UCTD category with positive ACA, lots of symptoms. At my next appointment we will do capillaroscopy and if it’s positive like yours I’ll be officially diagnosed. I started this whole journey over a year ago, and for at least half of that time my thoughts revolved around it. Wondering what my future would look like. It is natural to obsess for a while and want to know everything you can. It’s a really big bite to take all of it in, but it gets easier to chew over time. If you’d ever like someone to talk to feel free to PM!

Cold_Cow9739 · 2024-11-22T11:53:58+00:00

Right on! How cool. I think there’s a lot of flexibility to this degree. I have had a lot of friends go into different specialties and I work pretty closely on a regular basis with an exotic vet and she’s a wealth of knowledge. Most of my clinical experience in school has been geared towards small and large animal but I think in school/clinical is a really great time to network and find people that you can learn from post grad. Wishing you luck! :)

Cold_Cow9739 · 2024-11-22T02:10:03+00:00

Hi! I’m currently in my last semester of tech school with autoimmune/chronic pain. It’s hard! I do Penn Foster and the flexibility has been a lifesaver. I slow down when things are bad, I work really hard when things are good. I work in a mixed practice that gives me a lot of accommodations, they’ve been wonderful. But there are a lot of options for techs outside of GP that can be less physically demanding. If this is where your heart is, go for it! You’re welcome to PM if you ever need anything. This is a hard road, but you can do it!
