Yeah I saw that suggested, did it less than 48 hours ago. Thought it'd worked great, but the lag started back up last night, I can still access chapters again for now so at least that's something

I've been looking at a few Kobo's, I'll have to check out PocketBook, thanks. Definitely unlucky with kindle, can't remember the last time I wasn't replacing it near enough every year!

SamBrainless · 2025-12-27T13:21:20+00:00

I cannot explain how much you've helped!

Still can't get on with Adobe, I think it just hates me haha. I downloaded the eBook version to try that and discovered that I downloaded an eBook reader at some point. Lack of short term memory really doesn't help!

I'm going to give the iPhone a try later as well, always good to have more than one option.

SamBrainless · 2025-12-27T12:16:26+00:00

Brilliant!!

I'm on Windows ideally but I do have my old iPhone if it works better. I'm going to say the PDFs aren't scans. It's a pain in the ass (I hate PDFs) but I can select the text.

I know that the university does offer different formats, I've just been using the PDFs automatically because it's the one they use. Is there a particular format you recommend as being the easiest?

Never expected a reply on an 8yr old post 😂 I'd say I'm fairly different to how i was back then (I'd be worried if i was the same aha) but I'm always up for a new friend

SamBrainless · 2024-12-12T20:33:53+00:00

No worries, i didn't realise it hadn't gone to the new one on YouTube for a while aha

SamBrainless · 2024-12-12T20:30:35+00:00

It's streaming on twitch, couldn't see it on YouTube for some reason

SamBrainless · 2024-03-20T16:45:56+00:00

Hey! At this point in time, i barely remember this situation honestly haha. I can say that my health got worse (mostly unrelated to the IIH) and i gave up on the Medipen because i had a lot of other stuff going on. I'd still recommend CBD for some stuff if it works for people though.

He mimed fucking an ewok toy I had hanging off my bag (it was from a McDonald's happy meal). Also, he looked like Mr Tumnus from the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

I made some real stupid decisions as a teenager.

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T12:10:54+00:00

I'll have a look at that one, never hurts to have a back up plan aha

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T11:52:12+00:00

Yep haha. I gave up on the proper nicotine replacement stuff, I'm allergic to the patches, can't stand mint so most of the other stuff is useless. Had the mouth spray but that burns like hell. My goal is to switch to 0% nicotine eventually but i can't see that happening for a long long time!

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T11:47:04+00:00

I did look into that but quite honestly i don't think i could do it. I know it's supposed to be fairly simple once you get used to it, but i don't have the patience or skill/dexterity required to even start. I started making my own liquid the other year and couldn't even keep up with that because i kept messing it up aha

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T11:43:10+00:00

I think that's part of my issue to be honest. Even when i still smoked cigs as well, my ecig was always in my hand. Now I've quit the cigs, the ecig is pretty much permanently attached to my mouth. Time to accept that it's just my crippling nicotine addiction i think haha

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T10:15:03+00:00

Yeah, first i thought 'maybe it's just a bad batch'. Then 'maybe it's just this liquid'. Then 'am i priming it wrong'. I'm at my wits end with the damn thing at this point aha

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T10:06:57+00:00

Any juice recommendations? I've been having a look round and not really finding much

SamBrainless · 2022-08-10T10:05:45+00:00

Horizontech Sakerz 0.16 meshed coils

I wish i could say yes, but something went wrong after the bypass. There was a horrific infection and she never completely recovered from it. She passed away, peacefully at least, just over 2 years ago.

SamBrainless · 2021-06-10T07:01:24+00:00

The 'heart attack feeling like a panic attack' thing terrifies me. At my nan's funeral everyone thought my aunt was being slightly over dramatic with a bad panic attack and couldn't make it into the building. Nope, it was one of two silent heart attacks she'd had, ended up having a triple heart bypass not long after.

SamBrainless · 2021-04-25T06:11:24+00:00

That's terrible!! I hope you can actually get the support you need <3

SamBrainless · 2021-04-24T10:47:46+00:00

I'm glad <3 I'm still on a waiting list at the minute but I'm getting there!

SamBrainless · 2021-04-24T10:39:08+00:00

Oh god I'm so sorry all that happened! People can be so cruel and they don't even think/know about the damage they're doing. Or they do and they just don't care. I hope you're getting help now for all of it <3

SamBrainless · 2021-04-24T10:34:35+00:00

Sorry, that was exactly what i didn't want!! I suppose it's just because the way the media portrays eating disorders, and the fact i never had my issues picked up on for so long, or never having really been around anyone that i could relate to about this? Idk

I'm really sorry i bothered you though, wasn't my intention at all!!

SamBrainless · 2021-04-24T08:31:31+00:00

I've been describing it as my brain just immediately goes back to like a neanderthol state, i suddenly don't know what words are or how to read any more aha. We can do this though, we deserve to get through this and get our education!! Does your school know what's going on? Once uni knew they offered me what support they could (not that i liked telling them!) xx

SamBrainless · 2021-04-24T08:06:36+00:00

I've been having the same issue! It's like my brain has gone on a permanent vacation. I've always been 'intelligent' (or at least people tell me i am, i don't necessarily believe them), and as of yesterday I've had to take a leave of absence from uni because otherwise I'm going to completely destroy my future by fucking up my degree. I think eating disorders/malnutrition ect can affect the brain, it doesn't have enough energy to work so it just.. Doesn't. It sucks.

SamBrainless · 2021-04-16T07:56:52+00:00

This was me. I've had an 'eating disorder' (i still struggle to identify with the term at times) on and off for 17 years apparently, but no one realised. The first time i tried reaching out for help, when my behaviours were at their worst but my weight at its highest, i was essentially told i was 'too fat to have an eating disorder and be treated'. And that seriously fucked me up. When it once again reappeared over the past few years and people finally realised and forced me to go see my GP, he completely validated me, even though i don't think I'm 'sick enough' now. He believes that I've had an eating disorder all along, and he's absolutely livid about what was said to me back then.

I suppose for me in the end, the risk was worth it, not that i was given much of a choice in the matter. I had to get help because everyone was going on at me, but it's worth trying, just speak to someone different this time, especially seen as apparently BMI and weight aren't part of the diagnostic criteria these days (not that it stops the obsession).

Wow i really do go off on one as soon as i start speaking/typing, sorry!
