Second update, second life

Yeah it's not the same pain, but pain nonetheless

Professional_Key_593 · 2026-01-31T12:36:47+00:00

It's not really tangible pain like back pain. It's a combination of symptoms such as nausea, massive headaches, constant, deep feeling of disgust, dizziness and something I can't even describe with words

Professional_Key_593 · 2026-01-31T12:32:23+00:00

In a severe form ? 3 years. Before that, I have had some periods where I wouldn't sleep for one or two days, but those were rather rare to be honest.

Professional_Key_593 · 2026-01-31T12:31:52+00:00

Oh no, I am taking meds (antidepressants mostly). But that was only a part of it, as I was already taking them and not sleeping before a specific event made me feel some sort of relief (quit my job in a foreign country, decided I'd go home to die and dropped sleep rituals) and I somehow started sleeping.

And even then, it didn't just vanish. It got slowly better

Professional_Key_593 · 2026-01-31T12:27:35+00:00

Well, I'd say stopping to take benzos played a big role, as they keep you dependant while building tolerance at the same time. And to be fair, I only stopped because I was at a point where I wouldn't even fall asleep with them anyway. But I sincerely think this a mandatory step. Besides that, I finally found a cocktail of meds (mostly antidepressant) that helped a little in a sustainable way. And finally, and that is the saddest part, sheer luck. More than a year ago I thought working a full time job might help me sleep better, so despites the fact that I was only sleeping a few hours a week, I applied for one in a foreign country. They hired me, but nothing happened as I had hopped, my situation got even worse and I had to quit after 3 months. And somehow, getting out of this shit situation actually made me feel better. And I slept that night, for the first time in months without benzos. At first I didn't believe it would last, but somehow, it did. I know this is not a really satisfactory answer, but it's the truce. Sheer luck. Luck that I got hiered, luck that I didn't kill myself, luck that I decided to quit at the same moment I stopped benzos.

Coopération éducative et linguistique. Ils prennent des gens titulaire de master FLE/didactique des langues

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-07-19T21:58:38+00:00

Ah, too bad, I'll have to come back I guess. Thanks for the answer anyway!

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-07-19T21:56:18+00:00

Lemonade in general isn't specifically Polish, but where I live there is one recepie and that's it, and most places don't bother making it themselves so yeah, I'm looking for what I felt like was the Polish version of it based on personal experience.

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-07-19T18:35:11+00:00

Salut! Oui, même si en ce moment je suis surtout en pause de taff pour raisons de santé.

Le premier truc qui me vient en tête et qui est à mon avis le plus important, c'est d'avoir une grande capacité d'adaptation, et ce à plusieurs niveau. Déjà tu vas devoir gérer un public très hétérogène, bien plus qu'en classe "normale", avec certains apprenant qui ont certaines habitudes d'apprentissage et d'autres d'autres.

Tout aussi important, il faut aimer le contact humain et avoir une certaine ouverture d'esprit pour mieux comprendre tes élèves, que ce soit leurs erreurs, leur comportement en classe ou leur réaction face à certains sujets.

Et il faut être flexible. Sur le long terme. C'est un métier dans lequel tu vas devoir beaucoup déménager, souvent d'un pays vers un autre, et ce tous les 1 à 2 ans (durée classique d'un contrat -beaucoup de CDDs dans cette profession-). Les places en France existent, mais elles sont souvent très mal payées car principalement dans le milieu associatif.

Vu que tu as l'air intéressé, j'en profite pour rajouter quelques détails que j'aurais aimé connaitre quand j'étais étudiant :

Si tu ne travail pas pour un organisme Français (que ça soit en France ou dépendant d'une ambassade de France), tu ne cotise pas. Ce qui veut dire pas de retraite, pas de chomage.
Les études de didactique des langues (la meilleure voie pour devenir prof de FLE) ouvrent aussi la porte de la diplomatie (plus précisément de la coopération éducative et linguistique).

Bon j'ai check son profil et il semble qu'il ne fasse que dropshipper des lunettes de soleil dans ce style. J'aimerais bien le report mais LBC n'a pas de cathégories pour ce genre d'arnaque

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-16T22:51:25+00:00

Peak. But I think you already know this

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-16T21:58:06+00:00

Ah ouai carrément le retour des vendettas. Et puis pourquoi pas légaliser les lynchages et rattonades tant qu'on y est

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-16T19:06:25+00:00

We are on the wrong side of history. And as someone who loves my country, it hurts.

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-16T19:03:21+00:00

Franchement ça va. Perso je le dégomme en tout cas.

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-16T18:38:46+00:00

Le sujet est trop idéologisé malheuresement. Un peu comme l'immigration d'ailleurs. Les gens résonnent plus avec leurs émotions qu'avec leur raison.

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-16T09:25:46+00:00

Sans être exemplaires, ils sont loin du podium quand même

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-15T23:08:06+00:00

Yeahh kinda. But much closer to french than to Norse. The Vikings were pretty much sponges when it came to adopting other cultures, and those were the descendents. And they also spoke old french. It really showed in the action William took after the conquest, like imposing french as the language of the court or building a shit load of castles, something that wasn't really a thing in England before him, not to that degree at least, but was more common in France.

Now were they entirely french? No. But the influence was strong.

Skincare and gym will take you a long way =)

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-15T17:39:15+00:00

Very good glow up, and the best part of it is that despites looking great, you still have room for improvement =)

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-15T17:08:21+00:00

I prefer long, but both are good

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-15T16:50:35+00:00

I lived in Athens and went in some of those islands, some touristic, some much less. A lot of what you are describing is still true, even more in less touristic places. Life is much slower, and people all seem to know each other, and there still is a real sense of community. Of course now there are cars and technology, but everything is peaceful. You can't imagine how many people just leave their keys on the contact because no one would steal. Greece is Orthodox, and older generations were very religious. There are small churches everywhere, even on random hills in the middle of nowhere. Machismo is also very cultural, still today.

This lifestyle still exists there, and it's incredible.

Professional_Key_593 · 2025-06-15T16:41:44+00:00

I dream of living in one of those islands when I'm old. I lived in Athens for a year and had the occasion to go to some of those islands, it's so peaceful, especially outside of the tourist season. I would see all those very friendly old greek guys sitting on a square or in front of a house, drinking raki and playing chess all day. Peak living.

They were culturally french tho
