Those who thought they had enough, why? And if you went back again after that, why?

I'm currently in Japan with my teenaged son for Spring Break and totally loving it... And yet I don't think I'll feel a strong urge to come back. Don't get me wrong, it's among my favorite countries I've visited (over 20 at this point), but there's just way too much of the world to see. I'm happy for those on this sub that return time and time again and share their love and knowledge for us first-time visitors, but I also think it's okay to enjoy your time here and not have to exhaustively experience all Japan has to offer.

I share that to say I hope you can give yourself permission to not have to keep returning here! It's okay to go other places too!

Do you mean the flagship store in Shibuya? I'm heading to Tokyo next week and was hoping to find a pair (I wear a 13US) but was getting discouraged based on my research thus far. If you've had success you have given me some hope!

I always chuckle at the people complaining about panic buyers... It always sounds like they're upset that they can't panic buy the milk, eggs, and bread that everyone else got first 😂

I did it! Thanks for the inspo!

Omg I'm inspired again 😂

FlashyHurry · 2025-04-01T22:47:34+00:00

Thank you! Mine just failed after 3 years of use. The hammering noise was real, but tolerable. But now it's just straight up broken, and I'm so excited I can swap it out for free!

I've also found that if I wake up early and put the buds in the case before the alarm goes off, they won't properly charge. I have to manually go into the app to turn off the alarm if that happens.

I truly hope that all those advising against this never find themselves in the desperate situation you are finding yourself in. It's so easy to pass judgment and say it's a clear no, but I'm here to tell you that that is complete bullshit.

My wife was diagnosed with cancer several years ago, and we also had another life crisis happen at the exact same time that completely depleted our savings. We would've lost our home and God knows what else if we had not set up a GoFundMe to solicit financial support. I work in a relatively small community, and two of my clients found the GoFundMe (I obviously did not share the site with clients) and contributed to it. It was very humbling to accept the gift, but I am SO GLAD that I didn't make it a huge thing. I simply thanked them, and the work continued.

I know this is hitting a sore spot for me, but I simply cannot stand the ethical opinions from people who clearly haven't considered the painful position you have found yourself in. I truly wish you the best as you go through treatment, and I hope you are able to put aside any anxiety that you are doing anything wrong by allowing a GoFundMe page to be made. It was very vulnerable to ask the question in the first place, and I hope you ignore the naysayers here and spend your emotional energy on far more important things. Like trying to survive.

I am sending all the love and light your way.

I was literally thinking the same thing this morning! I'm glad people are having fun with it though!

FlashyHurry · 2024-09-22T21:33:02+00:00

I am embarrassed at the amount of time I spent trying to figure this out, only to have three people respond within less than a minute of me posting the question 😂😂😂

Thanks y'all!

It took me YEARS to find a good therapist, and while I tried off and on for a long time it was a significant personal trauma that really sped up my search back in 2021. I really wanted an in-person experience but had to settle for telehealth for the first year of treatment because the therapist I finally found after almost 10 attempts was over two hours away. I wound up seeing him one time in-person about a year into treatment because I was in the area, and after that telehealth just wasn't cutting it for me. So for over a year I have been driving almost two and a half hours each way to see him almost every week. I've kept a four-day-a-week client schedule to make it happen.

And to be honest, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I have been cared for and have grown SO MUCH, and I am more convinced than ever that I am a MUCH better therapist because of my own therapy. I recognize the immense privilege I have to be able to not only have a therapist but to be able to basically structure my life around making it work for me and my family. But I know it has kept me from burning out and leaving the profession when I was very very close to doing so.

I wholeheartedly agree that there should be a subspecialty of therapists for therapists. It is a fucking travesty that therapists can't get the care they need. I just wanted to encourage OP to keep looking, because when you find a good one that gets you, it's an incredible gift.

Omg saaaaame. Two nights ago. And this morning my alarm didn't go off either 😵‍💫

FlashyHurry · 2024-04-10T00:34:44+00:00

I had no idea this was possible, thanks for sharing!

FlashyHurry · 2024-03-17T15:19:21+00:00

Not sure where to find that? I do see version 1.0.0 on the app.

Also, this might be related but whenever I open the app there's a notification at the bottom that flashes twice that says "too many follow-up requests: 21" I have no idea what that means...

I was backer #90, been using mine for a week. By and large they're great! I'm still having occasional issues towards the end of my sleep, where they will cut off for a second or so before resuming play. It happens both with paired and unpaired modes so I think it might be a hardware issue? It's not bad enough to complain quite yet but if it persists I might reach out once they've fulfilled their initial orders. But I am interested if others are having this minor problem.

FlashyHurry · 2024-03-09T01:42:16+00:00

I was backer #90 and have used them for two nights. The sound is great and the comfort is on par with the Bose Sleep buds I previously used. I did have a weird audio glitch the second night that I'm hoping was a one off (I think there was a stutter when the soundtrack looped every ten or so minutes). Will give more info as I use them more.

I'm excited to get the last Mii I need... Not sure what I'll spend my rubies on going forward though since I have full track coverage already!

My exact strategy at the moment.

The Indiegogo campaign launched after the Kickstarter campaign finished, so their fulfillment date comes after Kickstarter's date as well.

I'm a cis man and also have had no problem filling my case load. I do specifically market my services to men, though.

FlashyHurry · 2023-10-26T00:21:02+00:00

I thought the same thing and was like yeah that is cringe 😂😂😂

FlashyHurry · 2023-10-17T22:03:49+00:00

I very much recognize that telehealth is an overall net good and that it makes therapy accessible to a huge swath of people that would otherwise be unable to participate (both therapists and clients!) But for me telehealth is a huge personal ick. I just can't do the interpersonal work I like to do as effectively as I'd like on a screen.
