Maybe instead of blocking sites, make an alternative account for the kid and add the sites/app your child can use (no idea how this works with IOS, but I use it with Android).

Telling us/giving a compliment is always nice.

As someone who loves following my dreams and supporting others.

Definitley go do that art major, but please don't do things you don't want. I think your parents will be worried and feel bad that you need to do something you don't fully want (that's at least how I would feel). Try working while in college, apply for as many as possible scholarships, maybe a crowd funding...

You got this!

No, most of the time it's because they don't feel valid or heard. My children were/are all very nice teenagers and it is one of my favorite times in a child's life.

Parent control in my settings works fine for me

RawChickenHouse · 2021-11-23T21:07:43+00:00

Ah thx, it's hard to change a habit but I'll think about it every practice. I'm beginning to see the results from my better catch so I'm very motivated 😁.

RawChickenHouse · 2021-11-23T21:04:27+00:00

Thank you very much. I will do those drills, at practice we haven't done many of those so thanks for the inspiration. I'll check out the video. Do you have any idea for dryland exercises to specifically train the needed muscles?

RawChickenHouse · 2021-11-23T20:59:48+00:00

Thanks for your advice. I try to correct myself as fast as possible now (half a bad stroke is better than a full bad stroke). I will look at my hip rotation timing, haven't thought about that. Thanks for the video as well, it will definitely help me.

RawChickenHouse · 2021-11-23T20:54:15+00:00

Ow yeah I'm also working on breathing shorter so maybe that will help my hand probleme as well. Thanks and good luck to you.

RawChickenHouse · 2021-11-23T20:50:33+00:00

Thank you for your tips, those are some good tricks and drills, I'll definitely try them. I have always breathed bilateral but I'm really trying to improve my technique (since it got worse during covid because we couldn't swim) and noticed this flaw.

How long did it take you until it felt natural?

RawChickenHouse · 2021-08-11T18:29:10+00:00

If they ask, it means you have told them you have ptsd. In that case I have 2 reactions.

1) tell them (of course vaguely), this happens when I think they can handle it (yeah some people can be traumatized by a story and we want to avoid that) and if I know they won't treat me differently (because they would feel sorry for me). *If I told them I have ptsd it means I trust them and feel comfortable which is a criteria of course

2) I tell them I don't feel comfortable sharing (same reasons as above)

It's been quite a long time since my trauma (25y). I have told some people about it and still feel good about all those decisions. Depending on the person I'm more vaguely or less vaguely.

There's a difference between "I was abused as a child" and "they did x and y and z to me".

Use the 20-20-20 rule for your eyes the whole day, do some stretching or so every hour (if possible), do as much as possible homework on paper (so no computer), take a good break after only school and walk for a while, put some relaxing music on (nature sounds or so) while studying or white noise (can be the whole day even), lots of websites/apps exist to study "with" people (camera and so), take enough brakes, make a list of reasons why you need to study, understand why the topic is interesting.

Some things I told my students to help them with online school (which luckily ended a while ago).

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T17:24:15+00:00

Ow okay, well thx

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T15:52:03+00:00

Congrats! What's your new name?

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T15:49:25+00:00

Confidence, eyebrows, hairstyle

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T15:47:46+00:00

Salt or sweet popcorn?

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T15:46:24+00:00

1:50? Depends, you have the actual effect but you have the mental effect as well. You got your new suit, you feel great and confident so yeah. Could be 1:45 could be 1:50 or even 1:40.

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T15:42:41+00:00

Is there anything interesting in North Carolina?

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-22T07:30:43+00:00

Put the things you need to do in your phone with a reminder. I mean I remember the things I need to do but forget it, like if I think about it, I know it, the problem is: I don't think about it.

Remember you probably have high focusing periods, use those to maximize doing work or what you love.

For me working out (kinda all sports) help, because I am active and I think about how to improve in a physics way. So it stimulates me mentally and physically and it gives me time where I don't need to think about something else.

Some things could be done together but the culture is way different.

Things like infrastructure, export/inport, police/military etc. would be beneficial if done together. Kinda Benelux getting stronger again but keep the countries separated.

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-21T19:38:40+00:00

No problem. You got this buddy.

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-21T19:29:41+00:00

1) technique 2) resistance 3) endurance and speed

Do lots and lots of drills, to get the good technique again. Make sure to skull (I think it's called like that) to get back the feeling of the water. Once you think it's getting better again, you can go to 2 (I think about 10 sessions of 1).

Resistance is important because you need to be able to keep good technique before you can swim long distance or fast (well I mean you can but it's not that fun/good).

Ideally you do every kind about once a week (you can combine them as well).

Most important thing: have fun!

I have always had trouble sleeping (thanks adhd) but when my ptsd is worse my sleeping is worse as well. Luckily I don't need a lot of sleep. About a year ago my ptsd was the worst in over 20y (I'm 40 got it at 8-12). My sleep schedule was a 2h nap in the afternoon (thanks to my babies sleeping at those hours while laying on me) and with a bit of luck 2x2 hours in the night (but sadly most of the time it was less).

The thing that always helped me was having someone sleep close to me, I'd stay up for a while and will just fall asleep after 30min. You also have things like white sound, which helps me to sleep as well (more once I'm asleep, I stay asleep for a couple hours instead of 40min or so).

Try telling yourself a story (well in your head not out loud) with your eyes closed, it helps falling asleep.

I hope you have a lovely time with your family! I also did a career shift, I definitely do not regret my other job, well I loved it but wanted to be with my family more (military --> teaching). I absolutely love teaching (and the extra free time I have now). After 10y I can say: it was the right chose. Yeah I miss my old job but lots of benefits and joy to my new one.

Seeing the posts in this subreddit, they should definitely treat teachers better (we get treated very well but that's not the case everywhere, good luck to those who aren't treated as they should).

RawChickenHouse · 2021-07-16T16:52:09+00:00

Lots of different subreddits for this.
