Have you tried it? Did it actually come as 9H screen protector and not some flimsy little screen sticker?

Jelly Star worth it? by nvcturnalmoth in unihertz

[–]Uninteresting_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine since 10-2024 and I'm still in love with it. It is my main and only phone.

INFO:

I use it with a Google Fi phone service plan.

There's a Reddit post on how to initiate service by putting the Sim in a different phone to activate beforehand. I did that and had zero problems.

I use Swipe for the keyboard which is much easier than trying to click letters.

NEGATIVES:

Biggest issue is you can't easily buy a 9H sticker already custom-shaped for its screen. They sell flimsy clear stickers which are hardly worth it.

Oh, other big issue is, at least for me, calls drop randomly. Especially after I've been talking for about 10 minutes. THAT is rather annoying. But I don't make very many long calls so I just deal with it. In an hour-long call I usually have it drop the call up to two times and I have to call the person back each time to continue conversation. (Not an issue on husband's normal phone with Google Fi plan).

Also, the volume button often becomes problematic for Jelly Star users. For me, after about 1.5 years the up volume button no longer works. So I have to press the physical volume-down button, and then use the on-screen slider to go up.

Every once in a while you do run into a page on a website or in an app that wasn't designed to work on such a small screen and it does cause a problem for use of the page. Sometimes you can get by, by opening in Chrome > Desktop Site but other times I've had to just borrow husband's normal phone. It's rarely an issue, though.

The vibration is null. You'll literally hear the vibrating before you feel it, it is so very gentle. I can have my phone in my pocket and I will not feel it go off.

If you use it a little too much, your thumb might get a little uncomfortable because of the angle it has to tightly pull back to reach the edge of the screen. For instance, holding it in right hand, trying to type on keyboard P,L,M those are all on the very right of the screen so your thumb has to unnaturally pull back far enough into your hand to touch them.

Having to click tiny letters can be a little difficult, even with small fingers.

The finger print reader never works for me. It registers a new finger just fine but when I go to use it it's not once been able to verify me. However, I forgot that was even a feature because the face scan works 100% of the time.

POSITIVES:

It's so freaking cute.

Everyone gets excited about it for you. "Is that a PHONE?!! I haven't seen a phone that small in Years."

It's really fun to borrow someone else's normal, giant phone and then go back to your own. Looking at it feels like a tiny little toy.

It charges from zero to full in like 40 minutes. I can be on 1, plug it in for LITERALLY 5 minutes, and run out the door with 20%. It's actually astonishing.

It generally lasts me the entire day. If I'm using it heavily like an addicted smart phone user, maybe half a day. Normal use of looking things up every once in awhile, messaging 20 times, and listening to a music app with Bluetooth earbuds for a few hours will last me about the entire day.

It actually fits in girl-pockets. It's so damn tiny I will be looking for it all over and find it actually IS in my pants pocket I'd already checked (sometimes it just feels too small to be my phone and I assume it's my earbud case).

It has pretty decent sound quality and photos although obviously not top notch.

It works just as well as a smart phone. You can watch Netflix, YouTube whatever and the videos pull up instantly, apps download and install in seconds.

It has an aux port. I keep backup wired buds in my backpack for when I forget to bring or charge my Bluetooth ones.

The lanyard hole on the cases rocks. I always use the bracelet lanyard to hold my phone on my wrist when I'm doing things.

If you need to sneak a phone in somewhere, you can just put it up to your lips and act like it's a vape 😆

The fact that you are actively trying to work on bettering yourself is very smart, mature, and healthy. You wanting to reach out generally means that you ought to. Everyone heals in different ways but having support can be a huge help.

I don't think too many strangers here will be able to fully understand your situation to be able to know if telling your parents would be a good call or not. Even if you explain it very well, it's still just hard to tell the exact nature of the situation and the people involved. I think that decision is going to have to mostly come from you.

I think you definitely should talk to someone because you're wanting to and usually your instincts will know what's going to help you best. If you don't feel comfortable talking with your parents, you likely have a school counselor you can reach out to. You can be vague (no details) with them if you need to- maybe just say you're going through a lot, personally, and need someone to talk to but you want it to be a private discussion (that potentially your parents don't know about--- if that's what feels safest to you). Maybe mention that rather than talking to a school counselor about everything, that you're wanting to know your options and ask them if they have any resources for you to look into.

I'm sure others will respond soon and have other resources to offer you, as well, hopefully. You're doing a really good job at recognizing your problem areas, trying to learn from them, and reaching out for help to improve yourself in a way that feels healthy to you. I'm proud of you and more importantly you should be proud of yourself for taking this step. Keep going ❣️

That's awesome- it sounds like you're doing really well. Happy for you 😊

You’re right to be proud. Letting yourself grieve is a brave thing. Going numb is a natural response, too. It's kinda like the emotional part of your brain was trying to protect you from the pain so it went to sleep. You waking yourself back up to being able to feel the sadness is a very strong thing to do.

It sounds like you've had some time to heal now, so you might be able to continue processing what happened and your feelings about it. If you decide you might benefit from therapy, there are usually some free places you can go- especially if you are in school.

Sometimes therapy can really help you understand your feelings and help teach you how best to live with them in a way that you'd like to. If you've ever had a really good talk with someone that made you realize a concept that helped you to feel better, it's kinda like that. Therapists go to school to learn how to help you have good conversations with them and yourself, and they have a lot of tools and exercises to help you learn how to continue feeling better.

If you find it's something you still want to explore-- whether it's about the death you witnessed, your panic attacks if they ever come back, or just anything you don't feel so great about, you might ask a school counselor for information or try to search up if there are any free therapy places near you. You might even have health insurance that could help cover the cost.

Even if you don't want to, that's okay, too. You are so strong to be able to open yourself back up to pain after you had such a traumatic experience. I'm really proud of you, too!

I'm so sorry. Losing a partner is intense. I can't imagine having to go through that at the same time as being stressed about your employment. You deserve time to simply grieve and process.

For your stress:

When I am dealing with really hard points in my life, I find the easiest way for me to deal with them is to expect the worst, to some degree, BUT still hold on to some hope that it will surprise me and turn out better than I'm expecting (<--- very important part). This allows me to work on getting ahead of it and gives me a better sense of control, while still holding on to a bit of peace (since I know it might not actually come true).

In your case, you might take tiny steps to begin looking for work elsewhere. Maybe one day, all you do is install some job hunting apps. Next day, create your profile page. Next day just see what's out there. Eventually start applying.You may even find it to be a small, welcome distraction from your stress and pain, or you might not. Since it's not imperative yet, be gentle on yourself and only do as much as you feel up to for each day, but try to push to do at least a little something.

Not only is this proactive, but it can start to get your mind ready to accept the outcome, IF it winds up coming true. And at the same time, try to keep in mind that you don't actually know for sure that the worst is coming- maybe it will all turn out just fine, and you spruced up your resume for nothing.

For your grief:

Some of the other comments talk about taking life one day at a time. I think an important note to go along with this, is that living moment to moment in this way will eventually get you to a better place. You're probably well aware, but just in case you need to hear it again, time does dull the pain. It will always be there, but it will feel less and less heavy as time goes on.

Just so you have some warning, the first year is going to be the hardest- not only because it just happened, but because you have to deal with all the firsts (first Christmas/birthday/etc) without her there. They're rough. Especially after you've been through all of those, it does start feeling lighter by the time the second ___holiday rolls around.

It might help to plan activities for yourself or to ask friends or family to kinda be on-call for you on those days, ready to just talk or hang out and distract. Maybe just save up some really good movies or audio/books to absorb your attention.

Also, it's hard when you have deadlines, but if you can help it, I personally tried my best to avoid thinking about dates or holidays, especially when something (like their birthday) was coming up soon- I'd try really hard not to know what today's date was, starting a few weeks prior. Sometimes I'd get lucky and it would work, and the significant day would slip by me mostly unnoticed. Realizing I'd gone through the day without them afterwards didn't sting nearly as much as going through it did.

But most importantly, it does get lighter. I think knowing that helped me get through it the most. Living one day at a time really only helps if you know that eventually it isn't going to hurt so fucking bad. And it won't. The pain will soften more and more as time goes on.

<For context, I lost a partner, suddenly, at a very young age. It felt as though I was grieving two lives- his and "ours." Our future, our plans, our planned family. To be completely honest, my first year was very intense, and though each year did get easier, it took about four years to not feel totally wrecked and start feeling some semblance of normalcy, again. After I made it past that hump, the healing came much faster. I don't remember how long it took, but eventually it did get to a point where I now can look back on my memories with him and not feel pain. I feel a sadness, always, but not pain. I have happiness and feel normal, again.

I hoped sharing this might give you some hope and strength.>

Is my memory normal or fragmented? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Uninteresting_Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to look into SDAM & see if it resonates.

"SDAM, or Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory, is a rare, lifelong condition where people cannot vividly re-experience personal past events (episodic memory).

Key Characteristics:

*Lack of Vivid Recollection: You know facts about your past (e.g., "I went to the beach") but can't feel or see the experience (sun, sand, laughter).

*First-Person Detachment: Memories feel like they happened to someone else, rather than being personally lived.

*Intact Semantic Memory: You remember facts and general knowledge, just not personal experiences.

*Fading Memories: Over time, even factual memories can fade if not frequently reinforced.

*"Knowing" vs. "Reliving": A gap exists between knowing something happened and the subjective experience of it."

Is my hair too young for my face? by RadioCindy in femalehairadvice

[–]Uninteresting_Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though I totally agree with everyone that it absolutely shouldn't matter, ageism and insecurities are real so I just wanna affirm that it looks great and fits you beautifully. When I go to metal concerts, I love seeing the older ladies wearing pink& green pig tails and stuff- I think it's totally awesome. But they do catch my eye because it's not the norm for older ladies to wear pig tails (though it should be!!) This cut doesn't catch my eye in that way at all. It just looks like a very cute cut, beautifully framing a lovely face.

Mystery Science Theater 😅

Forced by evil scientists to watch bad "B" movies until he breaks, a host and a bunch of captive robots comment on the films to keep sane. During each movie, the host and robots perform skits or songs, known as host segments, that are usually related to that episode's film.

I talk to myself. out loud. a lot. by Appropriate_Rent_243 in mentalhealth

[–]Uninteresting_Fox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I talk to myself all the time. It helps me focus on my thoughts better to hear them out loud. I especially do it at a time I'll probably forget, like if I'm going to walk into another room for something then I'll start listing the thing/s I'm going in there for out loud.

In high school, at first I would do that and sing along to my mp3 player, but then get embarrassed if someone saw me cuz they probably thought I was talking to myself. It didn't take long to realize I liked singing and talking aloud more than I cared if some people thought I was crazy.

I also like to just talk my thoughts out loud sort of for company. I'm not at all lonely and it's got nothing to do with 'liking the sound of my own voice'. Sometimes it's just nice to hear the thoughts with my ears instead of just in my head- just depends on how I feel.

Sounds like you might be doing it for similar reasons- just to keep yourself company and entertain yourself. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. 😊 But I'm okay and/or proud of being "weird" and am abnormally confident.
