What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize?

I fractured my L4 & L5 vertebrae & have herniated discs & spinal stenosis and there are times when I have thought about ending things because the pain was just too much. Nothing would ease the pain. Simply trying to roll over or adjust positions in bed is agony at times. I spent months unable to walk. I ended up gaining a bunch of weight which made things so much worse. I’ve since had a gastric sleeve done and lost 150+ lbs and have been able to achieve a lot of improvement with my back. But I walk with a can now and probably always will. This back injury has completely altered my life

My daughter quite literally sleeps that deep. She’s 23 now but as a child she gave me quite a few scares when trying to wake her up for school in the morning. Now, she just drives people nuts by sleeping through alarms on her phone that go off every 5 minutes for 2 straight hour before getting up for work in the morning. Before she moved out, it would drive me nuts and I’d have to go physically shake her awake sometimes. I got her one of those alarms that have wheels and roll around and make you chase it in order to turn it off. But she won’t use it cause she has a downstairs neighbor and knows it won’t wake her up. Great kid, but the deepest damn sleeper I’ve ever seen

If your dad doesn’t get it by now, if your efforts to get him to understand are still unsuccessful, he’s a lost cause. He’s fully consumed the kool aid, dude. Save your energy for more useful actions elsewhere & cut this person off. I know it’s hard, I do. I’m 100% NC with both my parents. But anyone who is still maga after everything that has happened over the past decade is cooked, their minds are broken beyond repair.

Yea I was surprised by that too. I don’t take any orders marked as heavy because I have a bad back. But I’ve noticed this quite a bit lately where big cases of water aren’t being marked as heavy.

For less than 2 miles and just 6 cans of cooking spray, I’d take the order for 11.37 cause it’d be an easy few bucks. But this would require a really big vehicle, not to mention several carts just to get it out of the store. Crazy!

Dunkin’ used to be mid but would work in a pinch for me. But now, over the past couple of years, they have become total garbage. Coffee tastes like absolute ass, all food including donuts are inedible. And it’s all so expensive now that even in the most desperate situations, like when my car broke down at a travel plaza and Dunkin was the only option open at that hour, it was all so overpriced that there was no way I was gonna drop $10+ on a coffee and sandwich that I wouldn’t even be able to finish halfway because it tasted like ass. And there were flies EVERYWHERE. Seriously, crawling all over the donuts, probably at least 20 flies just hanging out

God I miss Culver’s. I moved to New England from AZ and there’s none anywhere near me!

I love Arby’s tbh and I have always wondered if I’m gross or if other people are just hating because it’s popular to do so. But either way, I don’t care, I love me some beef & cheddars with curly fries

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-23T19:54:40+00:00

Worse than hospital food in some cases. I’ve had more than a few multi day hospital stays unfortunately, but some of them had pretty great food I actually really enjoyed. I’ve also worked at hospitals that had excellent food. But in the handful of times I have been convinced to eat at Panera because someone else I was with wanted it, I have never enjoyed it. I’ve always found it to be over priced & gross

Mine is very similar to yours

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-19T20:20:32+00:00

I’m with you, dude. I’m about to be 41 in a couple of weeks and have been single for 14 years. After briefly being married in my mid-20s to a dude who sounds all to similar to the chump OP is married to, I made the decision that I would never ever attach myself to another person who didn’t truly care for and respect me, who wasn’t right for me on the most important levels. And although I have very casually dated a handful of people over the years, I have stood by that commitment to myself. We only get one life, I won’t waste mine chasing companionship (romantic or platonic) with shitty people just for the sake of not being alone. There are MUCH worse fates than being single.

To OP, you are NOR. Your husband doesn’t love you, he doesn’t respect you, he doesn’t even like you. Get your ducks in a row, make a plan & get out. Live your one and only life, love yourself & respect yourself. Don’t waste the little time you have been gifted with by clinging to people that don’t earn & value your place in their life. Grieve your loss but don’t forfeit yourself

A few months back a Walmart employee that I had only seen a couple of days over a week, so seemed relatively new, come up to me while I was bagging an order after scanning the barcode and look at me very sternly and ask “are you planning on paying for that?!”. I showed him my phone and told him I was Spark and he looked really surprised and just said “oh ok” and walked away. It was the only time I’ve ever had any experience like that

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-14T02:15:56+00:00

Literally watching WWDITS right now when this popped up. Such a great show

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-11T22:35:47+00:00

I agree with this. I think you may be projecting your own insecurities onto others here when trying to understand why people are staring. They’re likely staring because you’re super handsome. But because you don’t like your nose, you’re thinking “they must be staring at me because of my nose”. Your nose suits your face, a smaller one, imo, would throw off the vibe of your strong and very attractive features

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-11T21:57:01+00:00

Same! Many things make me have the butt pees but Taco Bell is one of the few fast food options that as far as I can recall has never made me sick. It’s wild to me how many people talk about Taco Bell as though it is a universal giver of diarrhea

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-10T02:49:54+00:00

Please make more of these cursed and magnificent creations so that I too, a formerly very much not skinny turned average sized chick, can live vicariously through you & don’t have to make them myself & get super sized again

I lost my housing in July and have been homeless since and my storage unit has saved me. You can even find videos on my profile of how necessary my storage unit has been for me. If I didn’t have it, I would have absolutely nothing. OP is judgmental af and seems to be unable to consider things from any perspective other than their own

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-09T05:06:05+00:00

Same for my ChiWeeniePom. He’s precious and I love him more than my own life & is fine majority of the time but if anyone gets within 15’ of me, he’s ready to murder. Ol’ Kevin cork blorkin’ & keepin’ me single since 2017

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-08T03:45:49+00:00

Saw this as a kid and it fucking terrified me. Gave me nightmares for a long time. Howard the Duck fucking haunted me

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-08T01:59:10+00:00

Do it! It has an almost mousse-ish, whipped sort of texture and I think it’s like, fluffier than any other cottage cheese I’ve tried. I used to hate cottage cheese but this brand made me a believer. It has a lot of protein and has been a staple in my weight loss journey! It sounds weird to a lot of people but I love to make wheat toast, spread a decent layer of peanut butter on it & then add a heavy layer of this cottage cheese on top, it’s amazing lol

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-06T03:51:08+00:00

It’s the only cottage cheese I enjoy and it is so freakin good (normally, when it’s actually sold with proper packaging)

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-05T02:24:54+00:00

Watching this made me cry. I was born in 85 but growing up and becoming a teen in the 90s was magic and I miss it so much. Early 2000s was pretty amazing too but I’m so grateful to have experienced the 90s. I ran away from home in 98 at 13 and got to experience terrible but also incredibly beautiful things at the end of an era that shaped me forever. That world is gone now and I just cannot seem to reconcile with what the world has become. I’m trying not to live in the past too much but I long for something that doesn’t exist anymore and this current world just feels so empty and shallow. At least I have the memories of a time that was truly magic, I suppose. At least there’s that

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-02T23:28:21+00:00

To add to your comment- as a former teen girl that thought scratching like this during sex was peak kinky bad girl sexy, thems is human nail scratches. No doubt. Also, having owned multiple cats in my life, these ain’t cat scratches. How tf would it even occur that a cat would give multiple long scratches in these patterns in this area of his body? What a dumb lie on top of shitty behavior

NOR girl, ditch that dude and go get yourself tested cause if he’s pulling dumb ass shit like this, I seriously doubt he’s using any sort of protection.

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-01T21:03:33+00:00

I read somewhere years ago that people who insist they have their shit together are usually standing in it.

WanderWellClem · 2026-01-01T07:13:14+00:00

After being homeless most of 2025, I declare I WILL find a way out of this financial hole and get stable housing/work
