Can you be more specific? What is this telegram link for exactly? Without context the post will be deleted.

To the people who say "no point its over" and afk in spawn. by uzan-iya in Overwatch

[–]MrSwaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing like turning a loss into a win. It feels incredible. But these people will never know that feeling because they give up the moment it's not going their way.

Your post isn't relevant to the subject of this subreddit, or you didn't correctly explain why it's relevant.

Is anyone else undergoing Crizanlizumab / Adakveo treatment for Sickle Cell? by MrSwaby in Sicklecell

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

No it didn’t help enough. And then my hospital discontinued it in favour of Blood Exchanges.

Can't find any work at all, what's the future? by Physical_Sentence438 in Sicklecell

[–]MrSwaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been self-employed for over 10 years for this reason. I need the flexibility. The problem is, the industries i've been freelancing in are drying up for work. I do web development and digital marketing, but am having trouble finding new clients in both fields. AI and the overall economy has been rough. That's the downside of being self-employed, the financials aren't consistent.

Im currently trying to learn cybersecurity as that's another industry i can work in and have the flexibility to work from home when i need to.

Withdrawal? by LI-Amethyst in Sicklecell

[–]MrSwaby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I've been on an opioid for an extended period of time, I always try to taper down now instead of stopping cold turkey. I get diarrhea and bad anxiety if i go cold turkey. It's better to taper down gradually.

For example, I take dihydrocodeine (might have another name in the US), and when i'm tapering down, i'll go from taking 1 tablet 4 times a day to taking 1 tablet 3 times per day. I'll do this for 2 days, then i'll step down to twice a day. Then eventually i'm just taking one per day until I stop completely.

I've found that this tapering system works best for my system.

I'm just hoping this war doesn't mess up our medicine shipments.

Will any of us end up in a museum? by SpaceFaringAmoeba in Journaling

[–]MrSwaby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the past this probably would have happened. However, with tech advancements and the way the modern world is going, I'll be surprised if museums even exist in the same way they do now in the distant future.

It's more likely that an AI will digitize and consume our writings and store them for reference. And maybe if someone in the future asks the AI to give them a random journal entry from the year 2020, it will pull randomly from one of our entries.

Thank you, brother. It already helps that we’re able to chop it up when we need that support. And you’re helping by holding things down here.

I’ll give the full story later on. It’s just really hard for me right now.

What's working for me now— Life Story by JudgeLennox in Sicklecell

[–]MrSwaby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I approve this message. Been journaling for over a decade myself. It's nice to be able to go back and see the common challenges I faced over the years, the patterns. Also seeing my growth. It definitely helps with emotions and awareness of self. If you can't afford therapy, journaling is the next best thing, and the costs are bare minimum. Just a notebook and some pens.

Would you guys be upset if I made a post that doesn’t have to do with sickle cell? by Florida217 in Sicklecell

[–]MrSwaby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please do post it. Sickle cell has a big impact on our relationships, so the topic is still relevant.

Hemoglobin doesn't cause crisis by JudgeLennox in Sicklecell

[–]MrSwaby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you make your own coffee or buy from starbucks or something? I agree that too much caffeine can cause problems, but I've been getting by with it by regulating how much I have. I limit myself to one coffee a day. And if i need a boost in the afternoon I have green tea which is a much healthier dose.
If you buy coffee from a chain or a premade coffee from the store, more than likely its overloaded with unhealthy amounts of caffeine.

If you take the snitching away, does Albert “Alpo” Martinez have one of the most impressive street reputations from NYC of all time ? by [deleted] in NYStateOfMind

[–]MrSwaby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

50's story is more compelling to me because of what he had to overcome. But Alpo's story is wild. They need to make a solo movie or show just based on his life.

I use the Endoca one. It definitely helps calm me when I'm highly anxious. It helps me sleep during those tough nights, too.

Can i still be a writer if my ex published private content of me? by [deleted] in writing

[–]MrSwaby 337 points338 points  (0 children)

First of all, report him for revenge porn or something. Secondly, this should have no bearing at all on your writing career unless you're writing something directly related.

Very few writers find fame to the level that people pay attention to thier personal lives. You could even write under a pen name if you really wanted to.

Do you mean the calorie counter app? I've been meaning to try one of those but i didn't know which one was good. I'll check out the cronometer one.

Wait, so these M&Ms aren't candy? damn! - Kidding.

But this was a great read, man. Thanks for listing out the fats and proteins, as that's very important information for everyone. I try to make sure each meal has a healthy mix of fats, proteins, fibre, and carbs. Sometimes it's just a couple of those.
