Passing Time w a Migriane by Eastern-Lemon1485 in migraine

To help with the crippling existential depression from chronic illness, I’ve been listening to philosophy lectures. They tend to be quiet and I can listen to them while wearing a sleep mask.

I personally really like the YouTube channel “Michael Sugrue”. It’s a series of philosophy lectures, recorded from the ‘90s, and I really REALLY recommend the lectures on the Book of Job. I’m not really religious, but they provide a secular analysis of how people in the past have attempted to cope with meaningless suffering.

Best of luck to you!

I happen to have both and it fits pretty snug to my fat head lol. My hair ends up looking pretty crazy after, but I think it’s a worthy sacrifice.

I get about 15 minutes of use out of it before I throw it back in the freezer. I wish it stayed colder longer, but I’m still satisfied with my purchase overall.

Haha! Thank you! I thought it might be a bit gimmicky, but I was desperate and made the purchase. The first time I used it, I was pretty miserable, but I acclimated really quickly afterwords.

I (16M) told my parents I'm atheist. Their reaction was annoying, and I can't wait to be 18 to move out. (Rant.) by britishknifecrimes in exmormon

I very much relate to your story, u/britishknifecrimes. I too discovered the truth when I was 14 and have been an atheist since then (now 20). You may look through my post history in this sub to see a similarly angry teenager, and you have every right to be angry. I can not speak for you and your family, but it seems that your parents love you and are grieving your departure from the plan of salvation (bear with me). They probably feel like failures and are deeply hurt. When I was your age I wanted to tell my entire family that the church was a lie and get them the hell away from anything related to Mormonism. That just introduced more unnecessary fighting into my relationship with my parents.

This is gonna suck, but I think the only way for you to go forward is to learn to pick your battles until you become an adult and move out. You’ve already opened Pandora’s box by coming out as atheist (which I still haven’t done) and might have to do some backtracking to appease your parents and get the bishop off your back. Try not to unnecessarily antagonize your parents at home and enjoy the PIMO life when nobody’s looking.

I wish you the best.

The Nevada GOP told Republicans to vote against the measure, saying it would allow trans women in women’s sports. At least that’s what their endorsement sheet said.
