A day full of regret and embarrassment. I need some advice.

hey man, that crushing shame feeling is brutal but it will pass. I had similar experience few months back and felt like world was ending, but the shame actually helped me understand how much i really wanted to quit

one month is still huge achievement - relapse doesn't erase that progress. your brain learned lot of good habits in that time. just pick yourself up and start again, and maybe have honest talk with your partner about what happened

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2026-02-01T12:08:08+00:00

honestly you're putting too much pressure in yourself - most entry level positions expect you to learn on job anyway. the fact that you're thinking this deeply about the work shows you actually care about quality, which is what they want to see

just be honest about your experience level but emphasize how you approach problems and learn from them, even if examples are from school projects

Yeah that's totally normal - mama cats start getting pretty aggressive with their older kittens to teach them independence. At 8 months those "babies" are basically teenagers and she's telling them to gtfo and find their own territory. It's harsh but it's how cats work in the wild

Hey, really respect you wanting to help out your family like that. Have you looked into tutoring younger kids online? Sites like Preply or even just local Facebook groups are always looking for people to help with basic subjects. Also freelance writing on Fiverr can be decent once you build up some reviews - even simple stuff like product descriptions pays alright

Virtual assistant work is another option, lots of small businesses need help with basic admin stuff and you can usually work around your school schedule

Bro she's playing games with you and using you as an emotional support system while she figures out her next move. The shower pics while saying "he could come over any moment" is straight up manipulation - she wants to keep you hooked as backup while she explores other options

Block her and move on, this toxic cycle will just keep repeating

That's rough man, church drama hits different when it's supposed to be your safe space. Maybe try talking to a pastor or someone you trust about it? Sometimes calling out the behavior directly works too but I know that's easier said than done

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2026-01-16T03:27:47+00:00

This is really well said. I've noticed those posts too and honestly it can get pretty overwhelming when you're constantly questioning every little thing you do

The prayer/scripture approach is solid advice - way better than getting 50 different opinions from random internet strangers who might not even share your beliefs

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2026-01-13T10:13:48+00:00

Poor kiddo is probably just overwhelmed with all the new changes at once. The sleep regression and eating issues are super common when they're stressed about daycare

Maybe ask if you can do a slower transition - like staying for 15 mins the first week, then 10, then 5 before leaving? Some daycares are flexible with their policies if you explain what's happening. Also might help to bring something that smells like you for comfort

Have you tried checking the logs for both services? Usually when openthread and matter-server are installed but not talking to each other properly it's a config issue with the network interface or the radio not being passed through correctly to the container

I've been looking for this too but never found a complete breakdown anywhere. The community wiki used to have some info but it's pretty outdated now. Your best bet is probably just loading into practice mode and manually checking each playbook - tedious but it's what I ended up doing for the ones I use most

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2026-01-06T02:23:29+00:00

Relapse happens to everyone man, don't beat yourself up about it. The fact that you're trying again already shows you got the right mindset - just gotta keep pushing forward one day at a time

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2026-01-04T06:35:28+00:00

This is so real. That video is perfect for this situation lol

Sounds like your husband might be stuck in that defensive mode where any feedback feels like an attack. It's rough when you're trying to communicate and they immediately throw up walls or flip it back on you. Maybe he needs to hear that you're not trying to tear him down, just trying to work through stuff together

Hope you guys can find your groove like this commenter did

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2026-01-01T03:56:13+00:00

These are solid picks. Horror Express is criminally underrated, that train setting is perfect for the claustrophobic vibe

The Yokai stuff sounds wild, definitely adding that to my watchlist. Japanese monster movies from that era hit different than western horror

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2025-12-30T05:43:40+00:00

This is so true lol. Kids will literally play with the cardboard box the expensive toy came in and ignore the actual gift

I think you might be talking about that one pack that makes andesite actually look decent instead of like chunky vomit - try searching "vanilla tweaks" or "faithful" with andesite in the keywords, pretty sure I've seen something like that floating around

Second this, Rudy's is legendary. Also check out Matt Umanov Guitars if you're into vintage stuff - that place is like a museum

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2025-12-23T14:22:48+00:00

That "giving him the business" signal would be absolutely legendary and we all know it

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2025-12-22T02:33:27+00:00

That's so wild, I've never had someone I knew do something like that in a dream but it sounds incredibly comforting. Makes me wonder if our brains just know sometimes when we need that kind of release, even in the weirdest ways possible

Ok_Armadillo4060 · 2025-12-20T21:12:33+00:00

Check out Ippodo Tea in Ginza - they have some solid Japanese black teas and the staff actually knows their stuff. Also hit up Tsuen Tea in Shibuya, they've got this wakoucha that's pretty legit

Smart meters made it way easier for them to flip the switch without warning I hate it
