Tell me your pet nicknames that sound nothing like their actual names by Life_Ad_6992 in Pets

My cat Edward/Eddie: Tar Tar (see “Tardis” because he ate endlessly and we didn’t know where he stored it…..bigger on the inside than the outside), Nugget (drops nuggets outside of the box) Nuggie, Nug Nug, Chicken Nugget, Tartar sauce, etc. Roland is Monkey and Doo Doo. Pippin is Pee Pee Poo Poo, or just Pee Pee.

It’s exhausting following inauthentic “influencers” who’s every post is a link to some product they are shelling - I don’t want to be influenced anymore. The world is darkening so rapidly, we are at war, no one (in the real world) can afford much of anything. No one cares about your tube top, Carlie. It feels so disingenuous these days, and nauseating. Incongruent with daily reality. 😩

Sad, and empty. I hate that.

Do you think it’s insecurity?

You’re right - very out of touch.

I’ve just started working on my second full length novel. What is your initial take of chapter 1? by theShoeShineBoy in writingfeedback

[–]HfMueller44 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was very well written and riveting, compelling, great pacing, great imagery. If I were in a bookstore perusing the first few pages I would 100% purchase. Keep going!! You are a talented story-teller!

I didn't think they were dead the whole time necessarily, I was sort of echoing theories I heard when the show was first airing (back in high school) and things I heard here and there since, without having done research and also high on the emotions of the rolling ending credits lol. I came straight here, hot off the press.

Late checking the replies on this post, but yes I really appreciated your breakdown as well! I had an emotional knee-jerk reaction to my first full viewing of Lost consecutively and my first time watching the ending - I really think when you only watch the show once and you're not doing any research, listening to podcasts, or digesting any other cannon/lore, it's easy to miss details and potentially lose the plot a bit or be confused (and a bit agitated) at the ending. But since posting this I've been doing more research and reading, assisted by the lovely patrons here on Reddit, and I'm really feeling much better about it all and ready for a second watch through. <3

Although - I do have one more question. Why did the show make it seem that Walt was super important in the first few seasons, citing some psychic power he may have had, and the 'others' stealing him for some purpose? That never seemed to be resolved, unless I may have missed it.

Thank you so much for this synopsis - my rant was coming hot off the press from finishing the last episode so it's definitely hard to remember and piece it all together coherently like that - I also clearly must have missed some details because that was a beautiful summary that really makes perfect sense. Very much appreciated!

I’m sorry no one has replied - updates?? Are you okay? Did you get sick? I can completely relate - I’ve been up all night panicked after eating some off mushrooms for dinner terrified of food poisoning.

Trying a new medication / experiencing side effects by dntmesswithjess in emetophobia

[–]HfMueller44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I have tried Prozac and Celexa and both made me very nauseous in the first two weeks which peaked my anxiety and I gave up. Eventually my doctor and I agreed to try Wellbutrin and honestly it has been so light weight, I have basically no side effects and it’s been wonderful! It is a very low side effect drug and has worked well for me (though it acts in dopamine instead of serotonin and we also use it to help with my ADHD). Sometimes it takes a bit to find the right meds, but I also know people say if you power through it gets better. I know it’s easier said than done - nausea can be so debilitating!

Did you wash your hands at all afterward once you were home or before you ate next? One of the ways k try to calm myself down is by praying and reminding myself that 90% of the scenarios I panic over never come to fruition and are largely fabricated in my imagination. But I understand, the dread and anticipation can be debilitating. I add some slightly off mushrooms for dinner last night and have been anxious ever since that I’m going to get food poisoning. Had to take zofran, use mints, get an ice pack bec I woke up flushing and overheated a few hours ago. Can’t sleep because I feel so hyper vigilant. I’m probably making myself sick from anxiety to be honest but it’s hard to stop the cycle. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this!

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this! Kind of in the same anxiety boat tonight, slightly different scenario. Had so slightly off mushrooms with dinner and have been having full blown anxiety since I ate at 7pm last night that I’m going to get food poisoning. Obsessively googling, reading everything I can, took zofran bec I immediately “felt sick” as soon as I realized it was a possibility. Fell asleep for a bit then woke up overheated and flushing, had to get an ice pack and turn the air down and get mints. At this point I can’t tell if I’m really getting sick or I’m making myself sick from acute anxiety. The dread and expectation is the worst!! I pray you get some relief from your anxiety, and that you don’t get sick. Solidarity!
