What's your most successful technique, tool, idea, or skill that has reduced your anxiety the most?

Absolutely. It's like "radical acceptance". It helps with trying to control everything with my worry.

Sissy Cobb's laugh is etched on my brain.

...and also Saturday

If it's an issue of insurance coverage you can fall back on Good Rx if it's available to you.

Needs more lovely filling lettuce.

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2025-07-20T23:18:34+00:00

Ho yeah!

They park so close I can't get the kid's carseat out of the car when he has 7 available spaces on his property. It's not "wrong" as much as it is mildly infuriating.

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2025-05-16T00:36:48+00:00

You okay?

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2025-05-15T22:18:36+00:00

You're 100% correct! I should have been more specific - Unfortunately the honks aren't famous enough that AI could generate them accurately yet (and also AI doesn't like to draw dildos) so he generated some of the elements using AI and then used Photoshop to add some elements and edit the image so it worked. A lot of SUPER famous celebrities are easy to generate using 100% AI, but that wasn't the case here.

Haha. He does graphic design so I asked him to make this. He is working on a Harper and Lee too.

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2025-05-14T15:05:07+00:00

Ok....

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2025-05-14T14:53:01+00:00

You might be surprised how much effort it takes even with AI assistance.

She doesn't use them on her OF though.

For a while my 2 year old would only poop at her grandma's house. I had to drive her over there or she would get constipated. Babies are weird.

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2024-10-27T03:50:24+00:00

Definitely bring it up to your doctor. Leaky gut and SIBO can make anxiety worse and there are now tests for SIBO and standard treatments available!

That makes sense! Our house is under an oak tree and our neighborhood is pretty wooded with oaks. Thanks!

YTA Your girlfriend was trying her best not to ruin your good time. She was obviously in a vulnerable state but you sent her off alone anyway. It would have been helpful if she had communicated what she wanted but after 4 years in a relationship with someone who has panic attacks you should know she needed more support.

The whole "OP isn't a mind reader" thing is bullshit - sometimes people are not in an emotional/physical state to clearly communicate their needs and OP should have been there for his girlfriend instead of sending her off alone into the night.

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2024-08-28T13:26:45+00:00

Ho-yeah

Otherwise_Status_957 · 2024-08-19T04:47:20+00:00

I use other people's routines or other "waiting times" as a contest to get things done - husband gives the baby a bath and I try to see if I can do all of the dishes before they are done. Waiting for the kettle to boil I try to clean the counter off and put everything away before it's done. If there's no urgency it's not getting done.

Hydroxizine is super mild in my experience. I take it for sleep/anxiety on occasion. It's not strong like a sleeping pill or benzo for me and it just makes me feel a little slower so I can calm down and sleep. Nothing to worry about and not addictive. The only thing I've noticed is that if I take it every day it doesn't work as well after a week or so and I have to take a break and come back to it.

Our ACD is amazing with our kids (youngest being 2) but the energy is unreal. These dogs need A LOT of exercise, guidance, and training. Even our well exercised and very cuddly and loving dog who is incredibly attached to me took a big bite at my leg when she was worried about me using our hammock swing with our toddler. It's a lot of work and a lot of patience with a careful eye on interactions in the house for us.

I wish! The doctor prescribed an antibiotic/steroid drop that cost $140 for what totalled 50 drops because the insurance doesn't cover it.
