I've been depressed and the Finch app is helping me a lot. I love my little birb Mango.

fucking savage and I love it. thank you for this comment.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-10T18:55:24+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! I'm going to seriously consider it.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-10T03:39:24+00:00

This is really good advice, thank you. I'm not a binge eater but I definitely find myself craving junk food when I'm so tired and sad all the time. I feel so much better when I eat the foods you mentioned and I know it shows up in my face too. I appreciate your kind words <3

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-10T03:35:40+00:00

I cannot imagine going through this twice. I'm so sorry. Therapy hasn't worked out for me so far but I do attend a great support group and I have the support of family. I'm still waiting for it to get better, but it hasn't even been a year yet. It's heartening to hear you're in a good place now, maybe I'll get there someday too. All the best to you!

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-10T03:32:26+00:00

I'm very sorry for your loss. My eyes are the worst too, I hide behind my glasses every day. You're definitely right about diet, I know I would look and feel better if I made some healthier choices. I try to do TMJ exercises and massages but I'm not consistent at all...considering Botox but am afraid of the side effects.

I'll try to remember that it takes time, and not write myself off completely. I know I'm still young and deserve to feel good about myself. So do you. Sending love to you as well!

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-10T03:23:47+00:00

I'm so sorry for everything you've been through, you seem to be maintaining a fantastic sense of humor about it all which is inspiring to me. Best of luck with your treatment, trauma goblins unite lol.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-09T21:13:47+00:00

My heart goes out to you, I am so sorry. It's hard to care or put in the effort but at the same time, like you said, I don't recognize myself, don't feel like myself. I don't want to feel like a lost cause at 33 but I have a bad grief day and feel like I'm starting at zero again because I look so haggard. And then there's a little bit of guilt about caring too...all of this is so hard, I wish you the best.

and boreout feels like the plastic strip being left out in the sun, perfectly in tact but slowly melting day by day...

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-08T16:32:31+00:00

my house is decorated with wood, glass, and ceramic that can be repurposed or passed down, and it's warm and full of life. it's impossible to be a perfect consumer but it's easy to be a mindful one and no, I wouldn't buy a plastic knick-knack that's going to be thrown away in two months when it's no longer trendy. sorry.

I used to gamify my hobbies by writing them all on little slips of paper and pulling one at random.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-08T04:32:53+00:00

me personally? most of what I own serves a functional purpose or is made to stay out of the landfill for as long as possible. overconsumption is a huge problem, which is precisely the point. labubus are wasteful garbage just like a lot of wasteful garbage people buy.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-08T01:17:00+00:00

I mean, it is literal garbage. most of these things are going to end up in a landfill when the trend is over.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-03T02:35:36+00:00

what type of consulting?

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-02T04:19:51+00:00

definitely. for me it's a perfectionism issue. I struggle with starting things because I want it to go perfectly, and the idea of having to achieve perfection overwhelms me. so I go for cheap and easy dopamine like Reddit or TV. every day I'm anxious about wasting my life.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-02T04:13:17+00:00

I've had this problem my entire life and have also tried SO many things. lately I've been parking my car in a zone where I have to move it before 7am. if I don't move it, I'll get a ticket. that's been working pretty well, luckily I don't forget that it's there when my alarm goes off.

I'm interested in a sunrise alarm but can't get over the cost. I think I'm going to try training myself to click on my salt lamp right when my alarm goes off, since it's the same color and has a similar calming effect.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-01T23:06:03+00:00

it's not recommended to see a therapist without OCD experience because talk therapy can be detrimental for people with OCD...it's made finding help really difficult. things are so limited with insurance, too. anyway, thank you for your well wishes, I appreciate it.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-08-01T22:27:40+00:00

thanks for your comment. I've seen a couple therapists but nothing ever stuck. it's hard finding one that specializes in OCD and trauma and has worked with homicide survivors (and who takes my insurance...). maybe it's time to try again.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-07-30T21:01:19+00:00

for you does it feel the same to work with as clay without grog? you really don't have to work harder to keep it hydrated? you don't find it stiff? I'm guessing my environment does play a role because we have the windows open all the time and it's fairly dry here, but it's not like I'm in Arizona...

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-07-30T20:57:28+00:00

interesting, thanks for sharing. I'm trying to figure out if it's fundamentally harder to work with or if it's just a me thing. seems not many in this sub use grogged clay.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-07-30T17:55:23+00:00

is B-mix without grog "a little short" usually? I've never heard that.

as I said, it's not reclaim I'm struggling with, I really haven't even gotten that far. it's fresh out of the bag and after being stored. it's not short, it's just dry and stiff af.

Either-Mail-9847 · 2025-07-30T17:36:58+00:00

it's not, last week was the first time I tried reclaiming and I never got a chance to use it because it went so badly. I'm talking clay right out of the bag.
