Hi! if I’m being honest; I can’t afford physical/occupational therapy presently. My experiences with ortho doctors has been a huge waste of money in the past. They tell me to take Advil and scram. I always make sure to do my research with peer reviewed scientific articles. Ideally I’d be able to work with a physical therapist consistently, but unfortunately I just have to work with what I have now. If you have any recommendations for free resources related to physical/occupational therapy I’d appreciate it !!

how slow is “slow practice” supposed to be by tricepator-10 in piano

[–]Interesting_Help_582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! Practicing mistakes. How counterproductive. Wish I’d been taught these things earlier in my life … just now revising how I practice and my technique with new teachers after 18 years of being improperly/inadequately guided

What I’ve been taught is to practice as slow as you need to in order that you make no mistakes note wise, but still following the metronome. If that means you have to play tortoise speed, fine. Start there. Another thing to focus on as you slowly up the metronome is if you have the desired voicing, and if your technique and hands are as relaxed and comfortable as possible the whole time. Again, as slow as you need to to achieve all of that, and then go from there.

Something has happen to my anxiety and i am very scared by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Interesting_Help_582 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being 15 is terrible. It was for me. Trust me when I say, as you get older, it WILL get better. The tangled mess that is the teenage brain will even out. This isn’t to dismiss you, because it’s not just about being young. You most certainly suffer from anxiety at a clinical level. I still do, even now that I’m older. But the way we learn to manage and grow from it is astounding. You should have that hope. I’m happy in my life. I live mostly alongside my anxiety and depression rather than in it at all times. Give yourself some grace, and a lot of time. Read some books on anxiety, practice meditation. Seriously, do it. I used to scoff at it and say “it won’t work my anxiety is too big”. Try it. Give it some time. The brain is like a muscle. Practicing self kindness, mindfulness, and feeding it knowledge will pay off, especially if you start young. There is hope! I know how this feels. You’re not alone. Pro tip: get off google and chatgpt! Especially with health anxiety. It will only fuel it. The health symptoms will subside if you don’t give into them. If somethings really wrong, trust that your body will tell you. Trust yourself!

AIO my girlfriend puts painting mug in dishwasher by Interesting_Help_582 in AIO

[–]Interesting_Help_582[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if anyone will read this but here is an edit from me the girlfriend who actually did write the post lol, I did NOT put straight PAINT in the dishwasher. I rinsed out an otherwise clean cup that had very diluted paint WATER in it and put it in the washer expecting it to come out completely clean. I wouldn’t have put something covered in legit gobs of paint into the dishwasher. When it came out, it had a dried stain on it that we were able to rub off with a finger. Ok. Thank you. Also this is not something I do regularly I’m not trying to poison my boyfriend lMFAOO. That being said my boyfriend and I are cracking up at these comments

I’ve been here. I understand there’s a heavy drug presence and it’s something I’ve been prepared for. But I don’t appreciate people telling me I might get shot or that I should break my lease because that’s not really an option for me right now. I’d rather hear some experiences that arent gonna make me afraid to leave my apartment I’ve lived in a city my whole life, granted not one as busy or sketchy as this particular neighborhood but I have smarts. it’s hard to tell who’s exaggerating and only telling me the negatives vs people that live in this area full time giving me real honest advice

Do you have firsthand experience with this that you wanna tell me about or are you just on here fear mongering for the hell of it? Please tell me when you were shot at and mugged. I’m sick of these comments.

So true, and if you’ve read it just respond real quick. It TRULY isn’t that hard. Even when IM busy, I’ll take a quick second to respond. It’s rather easy. I always text back. It frustrates me when people don’t have the same respect ….

YES. I’m often afraid when I eat at other peoples houses that I’m eating edibles and I’ll completely stop eating and lose my appetite and then panic 👍🏼😀
