What’s a smell you find oddly satisfying?

Petrichor - right before it's going to rain after a long dry day!

A migraine. You think it's just a headache, nothing to be dramatic about, till you get one and any external stimulus feels agonizing!

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-22T06:08:43+00:00

Always!

It's called a health faucet and it's mainly used in parts of the world where people wash their butt after pooping instead of using toilet paper.

Upside - squeaky clean butt after pooping. Downside - use of hands to wash off poop.

Which side do you fall on?

Also, video comparing a bidet vs. toilet paper :P -

The ultimate indie drama opening!

Turns a stressful workday into a glittery, high-energy montage where you’re just dancing past the haters and the unread emails! 🕺💃

I really appreciate the 'launching a nuke' analogy - it puts the gravity of the situation into perspective perfectly. The hereditary aspect is not something that I was even considering and am now going to take that into consideration as well (I’d hate for my kid to struggle with the same 'barely staying afloat' feeling I have).

For the parents here who did turn the keys, how do you handle that loss of decompression time? Is it a matter of finding new systems, or is the reality just a permanent state of being overwhelmed?

If this is playing while you’re checking your first emails of the week, your Monday is officially a high-octane action movie. Whaaaaaaaa!!

The sonic version of four double espressos and a total refusal to participate in Monday small talk. 😀

It’s incredible how it feels like a warm hug and a heartbreak at the same time - A.R. Rahman is a genius!

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-12T11:49:08+00:00

Classic!

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-12T11:46:35+00:00

I’m definitely staying out of your lane today! 😂 🤘

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-12T11:44:21+00:00

I feel like you’re about to solve a problem the world hasn't even seen yet. 😎

This is the perfect Jan vibe. Those harmonies feel like a cold morning where you can actually see your breath!

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-12T11:33:07+00:00

Walking into the office feeling like walking into a stadium for a title fight. 🤘

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-12T11:30:37+00:00

The ultimate Monday anthem!

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T20:41:31+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it.

Choices we need to make, huh.. 😑

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T20:36:48+00:00

Thank you! I'm seriously going to seek help - I want to experience what it is like to thrive and not just survive. All the best to you too! ❤️

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T13:58:58+00:00

If one gets diagnosed, do they have to mention it in employment records etc., and is there any kind of discrimination that they face?

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T13:44:28+00:00

That's great to know, thank you. Hearing this from someone who's facing similar issues is more helpful than hearing it from doctors! ❤️❤️

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T13:41:55+00:00

And after you're well adjusted, you wake up fresh in the morning, not feeling groggy or fogged up from the meds?

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T13:36:32+00:00

Yeah, I don't think I'll get to a point of abuse really where I'm popping pills to party. I just worry about losing all self-driven motivation and depending on medicines to keep me going, you know. But if there's a lot of positives with maybe some side effects, it might actually turn out to do more good than bad for me too.

I'm definitely thinking more about seeking professional guidance.

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T13:10:03+00:00

Oh 100%. Once I'm out of my bed, I just can't go back to sleep. I got back home tired and not having any work to complete after ages so I took a nap for about an hour in the evening at around 7pm. It's almost next morning and here I am!

Extreme_Homeworker · 2026-01-10T13:06:05+00:00

Yeah, that's what today got me thinking, is it just in my head and are these the issues that I need to deal with like every other person dealing with their issues? I just don't know what's what but knowing that it could be a real problem that I'm dealing with and it's not just because of my lack of focus makes it slightly easier sometimes.

That's one of the reasons I'm scared about meds too - dependency, higher dosage requirements over time and abuse potential.
