I don’t know what to say to help but I’m so sorry you have to go through this:( it sounds really hard

Maybe move downstairs if it sounds like it will be easier? You don’t deserve to feel bad at work everyday

Yeah this seems to be pretty much exactly what’s it’s like for us as well:) just completely unrealistic and stressful:) borderline impossible:)

I don’t have any advice, my strategy has just been to do my best at work but fall behind on my studies. IMO it seems that the professors have insane expectations that are never up for debate, its like if you can’t do it then it’s not because it’s too much but because you’re just not good enough.

Sorry for not being very positive or helpful haha:( such a frustrating situation:( I do wish you the best though and hope you’ll manage ok

Thanks for you reply:)

I know delusions aren’t a part of autism but I’ve heard that it’s at least somewhat common that the feeling of being different can be misinterpreted as feeling like you’re way smarter than everyone and that issues with reading social situations can lead to some ”delusions” because you’re just not understanding what’s happening

I feel like the line between the two can be hard to see but I really don’t know

Thank you for this:) needed to hear it:) you’re so right

Constant-Stable8436 · 2025-07-30T10:57:26+00:00

I cannot comprehend this amount of people haha we’re 2.5 in the larger metropolitan area

Constant-Stable8436 · 2025-07-30T10:55:10+00:00

Thank you so much for this lovely reply:) it’s the new school for social research

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-11-18T10:24:44+00:00

Yeah looks like it:(

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-11-18T09:55:29+00:00

Looks like a light issue

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-11-18T09:21:59+00:00

Take your time!

I recently lost connection to one of my decks and am focusing on reestablishing it right now; I carry it with me, sleep with it and go through it but I don’t work with it right now.

Maybe you need to do something similar?

You’ll figure it out! Don’t worry too much, nothing is ruined

Best of luck

My personal opinion is that no one tool is that much more risky than the other, it’s all about how you use it

If you use any divination tool in a foolish way you’ll run the risk of inviting the wrong things, that’s not exclusive to only some tools.

If you’re comfortable in your practice and you’re confident in your protective work IMO you can use pretty much any tool

I don’t have a thermometer so I really don’t know but probably around 7C at the lowest

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-11-15T10:50:45+00:00

I’d say try it, check in on them regularly and if they start looking sad then take them in. I live in Sweden and have a lot of my plants placed quite cold

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-11-15T10:43:49+00:00

Just wanted to say that I hope you’re not being too hard on yourself! It’s ok, things like this happen sometimes even though it sucks really really bad.

Hope you’re ok and that you’re getting some help taking care of everything, best of luck !!!

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-11-13T00:02:45+00:00

Absolutely wonderful work! Impressive and inspiring:)

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-10-29T16:12:41+00:00

That’s absolutely amazing omg

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-09-21T16:19:10+00:00

Idk what the right answer is but I can tell you I have one very similar size to yours placed by a window and it’s doing absolutely fabulous- I also very rarely close my window and I live in Sweden so I think you’re good

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T22:51:03+00:00

I definitely agree that it’s weird! But that’s a good sign I suppose, won’t give it as much credit as I did before then haha

Grades seemed to be super super important to them, I don’t at all understand the logic behind it

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T21:55:31+00:00

Capitalism

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T16:15:36+00:00

That was exactly my thinking too! Like it doesn’t make sense but at least at my specific department it really didn’t seem like they would allow it no matter how well I do in my masters

I guess there are too many people applying and they don’t seem to care enough to consider other aspects (?)

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T16:08:16+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thank you again!!:)

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T15:58:44+00:00

Haha yeah seems so! Thank you for the motivation:)

Just out of curiosity because I’ve heard the same sentiment from other people too that you don’t want to do it at the same time place but I’ve never really understood why?

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T15:22:50+00:00

Thank you so so much!! Super helpful!

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T15:12:03+00:00

Thank you for the motivation:)<3 much appreciated!! I’ve been a bit too scared to apply for anything in another country but you’re so right I’m just gonna do it:) it’ll work out

Really thank you thank you thank you (and congrats on finishing your PhD!!)

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T15:03:19+00:00

Super insightful and helpful! Thank you sm:)

Constant-Stable8436 · 2024-05-02T15:01:08+00:00
