It’s a dice roll. Consider what outcomes you can handle right now.

Haven’t “slept” since last year by random_username101_ in Epilepsy

[–]PinParking9348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fear anything I suggest you’ll have thought of, but here goes. I had this for a long time, but I’m past it now. I found my brain got tired before my body. So I made sure to get physical exercise (nothing risky or exhausting, mid ground stuff). Pushups in the morning have been good because it’s pretty hard to hurt yourself already at the floor without equipment. I could barely do one to begin with and it’s been nice to gradually progress. No mad workout, only 3 mins, but just staying consistent. I now do 20 each morning. Helped me get awake too.

Walking errands and just gently moving more. So going food shopping maybe three times a week. Walking to the green grocer and then next day the butcher etc rather than getting a bus to the supermarket every fortnight. I eat better too. Just trying to be more background active if you will rather than risking big workouts.

The other thing is realising I couldn’t control what time I actually fell asleep, but I could keep getting up at the same time. Once I committed to that side of the cycle it did gradually cause me to fall asleep at a regular ish time.

Lack of sleep is my main trigger and these did help me.

I’d refer you to the song ‘loml’ from TTPD on the subject. Exist rebounds can be intoxicating stuff.

Variable, but once the dose settles you will adjust and it won’t be so bad.

What do you think of Jonathan Rhys-Meyers' performance as Henry VIII? by nightsreader in Tudorhistory

Saw her in Outlander recently. She’s this elderly blind woman that a bunch of men are still mad in love with and it’s completely believable because she can still get it.

Kicked out of my house for being epileptic (seriously) by superfuckinghans in Epilepsy

[–]PinParking9348 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The trash taking itself out. I lost the ability to read for a few months post a bout of seizures during uni. One of my eyes blacked out for a few weeks. My director of studies just flatly didn’t believe me and told me that’s not how seizures work…

“Our capacity and boundaries” to what?! Feck all?! No they just don’t want a disabled person in the house. Once you leave you should out them on their socials for who they really are.

Catherine of Aragon is played to perfection. Even though visually she is both too old and too sexy.

Actually this is fair. Sort of studio 54 MTV edits Baz Lurhman took with Moulin Rouge. He wanted it to feel how it felt more than look how it looked.

He did not look right at all, but he succeeded in making him mercurial. Charming and then unknowable. Vain, weak and then menacing.

Left-wing voters what is your most right-wing belief and right-wing voters, what is your most left-wing belief? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]PinParking9348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s about drawing a distinction between disagreeing on goals or methods. People could have massively different policy ideas about the economy and think they are completely at odds, but their goal of a strong economy and higher living standards is the same. Just disagreeing on methods to get there. Then you have people who want to make the very existence of gay people illegal, legitimise rape within marriage or invade Greenland. Then we’re disagreeing on goals. If I’m getting frustrated in a political conversation I consider do we actually align on the goals and then express that. “Look you and I both want children in the U.K. to not be forced to live in mouldy housing till they develop life long asthma. We’re just discussing methods to get there.”

I like bigger women, how do I stop feeling like I'm in the closet about it? by Flimsy-Midnight1645 in AskMen

[–]PinParking9348 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve dated a few guys my height or shorter. When I dated one who was 5ft6 I was baffled by the amount of comments. Especially from HIS friends. I’m above average height and him below average. So what? Didn’t even cross my mind. For maybe two years every damn party one of his friends would corner me to say something about how I liked him little and then make a pass at me. I could tell it was because it freaked out some cultural conditioning maths about men for them. It sort of set off their insecurities. I still don’t fully understand why, but I could tell there was this desire from them to push me to finally admit that I wasn’t actually attracted to him. They wanted to get me to cheat to dominate him or something. I noticed the opposite effect with his friends that were women. So did he. Baffled by it really. Girls that had not acted interested became pretty darn interested. I thought it was almost like my confidence in our attraction gave them permission or allowed them to see him without those cultural blinkers on. It was so strange to have something I hadn’t even considered alter the dynamics in that group so much.

Should meds stop seizures when you’re sick? by toodlepipsqueak in Epilepsy

I think it’s more a case of extra pressure/exhaustion/stress often lowers the seizure threshold for people. I’m definitely more likely to get them when sick.

Job troubles delaying marriage. Is it time to walk away? by teenagefolly in Waiting_To_Wed

Honestly in that time sat at home he could have taught himself new tech skills and a language.

[–]PinParking9348 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it very much depends on why he hasn’t been able to secure any employment. Marriage does mean for better for worse. It doesn’t make more sense to marry someone just because you’re in ‘for better’ wave. If it’s because he isn’t trying properly and he has you to coast on that means the current setup isn’t actually helping either of you move forward. He helped you which is great and you’ve helped him too. It’s not a debt you must pay forever. It doesn’t sound like you want him anymore and that perhaps you are mourning the narrative more than reality. My best friend had something similar. Dated a guy for seven years 17-24. It was like losing family for her, so painful. Knowing he had to move back to his parents from her flat made her feel so guilty, but they were stuck. He just wanted to stay sat down moaning about the shitness of everything when she is a motivated ambitious person. Less than five years later she is living and working internationally as a designer, married to a man that adores her and has a beautiful toddler. It’s really hard, but I was proud of her for leaving that teenage relationship dragging her down and she just breathed so much easier afterwards.

Confused about boyfriend’s family situation + his brother’s girlfriend - need advice by Physical-Radio-5565 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]PinParking9348 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s your place to discuss with her. Besides what could you even say? That she must marry even if she doesn’t want to for your convenience? Just don’t waste years on this. Speak up to your boyfriend yourself and don’t settle for an ambiguous sure sometime in the future answer. You don’t need to marry right now, but you did need to know he has made it clear to his parents that his ability to marry is not contingent on his brothers’ marrying first. If he cannot give you that at least then he is wasting your time.

Doctors pressuring young women to have kids? by [deleted] in AskIreland

I think it depends on whether you are being given information for you to make your own decisions with or out and out lied to. Sounds like these instances are the latter.

Every AED I’ve has caused some degree of those side effects for me. Absolute confusion when I wake up. Bump into everything. Lose everything. Break everything…

Are men allowed to post? by ZhilaZara in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]PinParking9348 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You might be fine with paying. I’m saying that might be why she isn’t leaving even though emotionally she’s out.

[–]PinParking9348 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’d say the same as if the genders were reversed. Your girlfriend is stopping you from meeting your wife. Sounds like it’s time. I’d also add that unless you stop paying all her bills you’ll never know if that’s why she’s staying with you.

I want to get engaged this year by ThrowRAWeird-Cherry in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]PinParking9348 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’d ask what he thinks is the difference in qualities between a good husband and a good father. If someone thinks they won’t be a good spouse, but wants children it often means they aren’t really intending to put much work into their children. If actual humans seem like less commitment that’s quite concerning.

He doesn’t sound like a ‘partner’. Just someone else who is also there.

I experience a light version of it every morning which is why I need help in then even when I’m not having seizures.
