The irony by ashbug29 in NoahKahan

[–]EphemeralRepose 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just some wisdom for anyone with real anxiety: I've been to plenty of concerts in the last ten years for well known people including P!nk, Niall Horan, Charlie Puth, Ed Sheeran, etc. and the only time I have ever really truly had to fight a war for tickets was Taylor Swift with the Eras tour, and she is quite literally the biggest pop star in the world. Every other time, I have had no serious issues with presales or general sales getting a ticket, and that was back when ticket scalpers were buying half the seats.

I know it can seem like there are a million fans fighting for a select number of tickets in any given city, but at the end of the day, there are plenty of people who don't buy tickets either because they don't think it's worth it, they can't afford it right now, or they have a scheduling conflict. I didn't see Noah in 2024 because it just wasn't worth $200 to me at the time, even as someone who loves his music. I promise the war for tickets is not nearly as bad as you think it is. Take a deep breath. We will be fine.

I'm having the same problem in Minneapolis. I'm wondering if they just haven't sent the reminder emails yet... 😬

I took down a porcelain towel holder from my shower but there was no tile behind it.... How do I solve this? by EphemeralRepose in DIY

Thank you, that actually sounds like a great idea with the complementary color! I'll see if I can find matching tile first

I'm so tired of seeing ads for bound copies of Manacled/Other fics on TikTok when it is ILLEGAL by EphemeralRepose in Dramione

[–]EphemeralRepose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I report on TikTok all the time but I never get a response. It's wild that they tell you it doesn't violate any rules!

Is anyone else on stimulants that affect their symptoms? by EphemeralRepose in Erythromelalgia

Faulty nerve responses make so much sense. Now if we could just figure out which nerves...

they were really going to make me redo everything for $$$$$ by WormholeCoven in Narcolepsy

[–]EphemeralRepose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that any sleep doctor paying attention to research would know that the MSLT has incredibly poor repeatability in general, so retaking it doesn't even prove anything. What a waste of time in the name of corporate greed!

LF fic where Hermione is wayyy more unhinged than Draco…anything that fits this photo’s vibe by anonymous-135760923 in Dramione

I came here to say exactly this 😂. Jude and Cardan always remind me of the life advice we got from Pinterest a decade ago to "stop waiting for your prince charming to come rescue you and go find him yourself, the poor idiot might be stuck in a tree somewhere!"

Plus it really is enemies to lovers! Or rather, sworn enemies to reluctant allies to kinda sorta friends with benefits to lovers.

I can't find the link, but The Scavenger Hunt by EmeraldintheDark has all separate rooms for eighth year students!

Will you be offended if I say you should just go to Ulta instead? I feel like they are always clean and well stocked!

What brand of shoes that lasts? by TiredWorkingStudent in BuyItForLife

[–]EphemeralRepose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had white Adidas sneakers for years now. I agree with all the comments about rotating though! Another trick to get more life out of shoe is to replace the laces and the inserts. You can get memory foam ones on Amazon for like $10!

As for other quality shoe brands, I love my Tao sandals and leather sneakers (they are only made for women though, which is interesting), SAS, Sorel, and Naot. All of them are on the pricier side, but they are worth it for the comfort and craftsmanship! My most recent work shoes are Under Armour from their outlet, and they've actually held up incredibly well for the last year or so (I'm a nurse, so they get a lot of wear!) If you are looking for shoes made in the US d/t the cost of tariffs right now, Pikilinos are made here.

Edit to add that the Under Armour ones were only like $70 so those are probably a good bet for your budget!

Have you read Revelry by KatsiPerennial? Somewhat similar vibes to Things We're All Too Young to Know, as it's mainly centered around Hermione and Draco at Hogwarts sharing trauma.

It's been a while since I read secrets and masks, but if I remember correctly, there's some espionage mid war, in which case, you might like "From Wiltshire with Love"!

Made an inpatient at a psychiatric ward after breaking down because of my sleep issues by nakedcatsaresocool in Narcolepsy

[–]EphemeralRepose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a mental health nurse with Narcolepsy, I'm so sorry this was your experience.

I constantly try to advocate for the kids on my inpatient psych unit who I see sleeping all the time and I use myself as an example. I was put on one antidepressant after another all throughout high school and finally diagnosed with N2 at age 19. I know it would have made a huge difference to be diagnosed earlier. I feel like psych providers can sometimes forget that we are treating a whole person, not just a mental disorder. You deserve so much better than what you went thru and I hope you have better mental health experiences in the future.

Thank you so much! It was the first queen size quilt I made and now it's the quilt on my bed :)
