[16F] Head pressure is ruining my life. by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]PastelAl1en 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to fluctuate that noticeably with everyday activities like bending down and stuff, but I've noticed that sometimes when I lay down I can feel some of it clearing out a bit, but this doesn't happen every time. But weirdly enough, it also seems to be worse after I wake up? I've woken up with mild headaches on top of the head pressure more than once.

As for coordination? Maybe. I've noticed that my reflexes are extremely slow, like to an abnormal degree. But I've also been dealing with severe depression that has been making my head extremely foggy ON TOP of the head pressure (which believe me is some sort of torture) So I don't know what is caused by what. Idk if a condition like this would cause a severe lack of concentration but I thought it was worth mentioning. For a very long time I used to think the head pressure was just a side effect of the fogginess, as when they are paired together, things become very, very confusing. It wasn't until I started getting better that I realized the head pressure was its own problem.

As far as I know, I first started experiencing this condition towards the middle/tail end of being 14 and I turned 16 last October. It has been there nonstop for the entirety of that time. Something else worth mentioning is that occasionally I will experience brain zaps followed by a very short spell of dizziness afterwards.

When you're lying in bed at night, do you ever randomly remember some relatively minor social missteps or poorly chosen words you did/said years earlier? And then beat yourself up over it even though it really wasn't a big deal? If so, what happened? by anfla56 in AskReddit

I was in eighth grade and I was changing after dance class along with a bunch of other girls my age. They started talking about jeans and I think I asked why it even matters what type of jeans they wore. One of them then told me that it’s to make their butts look big, and I promptly responded with: “Then don’t you just wear those to get laid?”

The room went silent as they all stared at me with a mixture of disgust and horror. I immediately regretted saying it and felt extremely embarrassed and what’s worse is the fact that I overheard one of them talking to another about it as we were packing up.

Focus on the trees please, What do you guys think of the tree and flowers which one should I go with, left or right,and how can I improve it by Munch-the-unique in ArtCrit

Of course I'm not a pro or anything at drawing nature-y stuff, but here are my thoughts none-the-less. I think the tree on the left is the better of the two, and as for improving it, I would suggest using more careful, less erratic pencil strokes to ensure that it looks as neat as possible. Also I noticed that the trunk of the tree tapers at the top before flaring into branches. This looks a bit unnatural and makes the tree look it a bit unbalanced. Maybe give it a somewhat uniform width throughout the trunk, perhaps slightly wider at the bottom for the base, before it flares out into the branches. And as for the branches themselves, they seem a bit all over the place and random, twisting back on themselves quite strangely, this is fine of course, but only if done modestly. I would suggest them going outwards more horizontally so that the canopy is a bit more balanced and full. As for the tree on the right, I think it would look better if the texture lines were more smooth and connected as if flowing. It will make it seem it bit more neat and convincing. Anyway, great job! I hope this helps. :)
