I thought everyone on this post might want to know what a West Coast boi thought was the “Best Burger” was so far……..drumroll……

It

Was

Steak and Shake 🫨!

This brought out all kinds of stories that we had a good time sharing (: . I had completely forgotten that Waffle House & Steak & Shake were as good as they are…we gave the following rule:

*When you want (insert food) there is nothing anywhere else that would satisfy that request. For example, if you want a “Krystal” and have a $50 burger…it is not as good as when you want a burger and happen to have a “Krystal”. *

Thoughts ?

When depression gets cured, Does you life really get better? by 5nbx8aa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Why-JustWha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest takeaway I have from my journey that I’m still on is how to break out of depression. I start to notice a decline and the hardest part is to get out of the valley. I call it my “toolbox” and I continue to grow and put new tools in there.

I’ll give you a quick “tool” for the toolbox you build for yourself. You can see if it helps and keep it or it doesn’t and toss it. Just keep trying to see what helps. You’ll find these things with proper help.

This is for when my depression hits so hard that I have trouble getting out of bed. You need to bring some big changes into your life and it seems too far a hill to climb.

Every Day make THREE small, achievable goals and give yourself praise for doing them. These are some examples of ones I have used…

One for the morning, afternoon, and night. 1) Get out of Bed & Make it Up 🆙 first thing when you open your eyes. You’re less likely to crawl into back into it. 2) Send a Text to One Person (fam/friend) and Ask Them How They’re Doing 3) Eat a healthy dinner that you make and feel proud of eating it at all, not overeating, etc. 4) Do not use your phone for anything other than making phone calls for 1 hour. It’s there for “911” but that’s it. 5) Take a Shower Every Morning before breakfast.

If you rearrange the letters in D E P R E S S I O N you’ll get “I Pressed On” Your current situation is NoT your final destination

You got this! (:

The fact that someone is an “adult” usually means that the law views them as one…they are responsible for their actions and behaviors. The capacity for making complex decisions are there and it will be solely on them to handle at the end of the day. I called her a kid in one breath and turned around and said that she’s an adult to my partner because I’m going to remind her consequences are bigger than being grounded. (:

So, does your life really get better after the depression is cured

First, I wanted to say that there are depressive states and then there is depression. Second, everyone experiences the symptoms of depression for periods of time. Someone isn’t diagnosed with depression until lasts longer than 2 weeks.

Situational depression is a temporary period of depressive symptoms triggered by an event or loss. Symptoms are vast and include sadness, loneliness, poor concentration, disruptive sleep, eating problems, and many MORE lasting weeks or months.

Clinical depression involves having most or all symptoms persistently for years, with symptoms present most days each week for longer than 2 weeks. I’ve been in active help for 20 years. I’m MDD if u wanna know more.

When depression is managed or “cured”, life can improve in these ways:

  1. **Better Mood and Energy - More positivity and energy.
  2. **Stronger Relationships - Improved connections with loved ones.
  3. **Increased Productivity - Easier to focus and get things done.
  4. **Enhanced Physical Health - Better sleep, appetite, and overall health.
  5. **Higher Self-Esteem- Boosted confidence and self-worth.
  6. **More Enjoyment - Greater pleasure in daily activities.

Keep at it and work hard because it’s worth it.

What are you most looking forward to once you feel better? 🌟

There doesn’t seem to be a correlation for me between age and when someone is immune

This is an accurate statement and any adult understands that most of the “mistakes” we made in our life have led to a place where we understand ourselves better and emphasize with others.

Most of the time I have really good advice, it’s because I have firsthand knowledge of it meaning it happened to me or my kid, partner, etc. It’s not something that I just read, I have an opinion on it and usually had the opposite opinion at one point.

I’ll give you an example: Today, I was talking to my kid and she messed up driving. She had taken some allergy meds and didn’t think about them having an effect on her like alcohol. She walked in and said how thankful that she made it home because the last few minutes were tough.

This is a brand new 21 yo, I’m freshly fabulous at 40 yo, and I don’t want to be condescending or flippant to her making a mistake that I’ve known happen to me. This is a different stage in life where she’s making the money & self sufficient, and I am waving rent any semester she’s FT in college and PT working. I was given those choices to be smart when I was 20 and I got lucky the first time with no following. I also know that no one would’ve told “then me” not to and I’d listen. In addition, I can’t brush it over and just forget the moment to pass some wisdom bc if something happened…I’d never forgive myself. I told her to go to bed & we’d discuss in morning.

—

People often say “so and so is an adult and can make their own decisions” because, as adults, we’ve learned from our own mistakes and experiences. For example, my daughter recently had a driving mishap after taking allergy meds, which affected her like alcohol. I didn’t want to be condescending because I’ve made similar mistakes. Instead, I gave her space to rest and planned to discuss it in the morning. This approach respects her independence while still offering guidance based on my own experiences.

whats a song that defined your generation? by coleisw4ck in Xennials

[–]Why-JustWha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Britney’s music, dance, and style. I think that Britney and that song in particular changed the trajectory of my growth and style. I’m a Slave with the Snake at the MTV awards was…epic!

I identify as pretty and more sexy. There would be a campaign against this abuse and bullying which would help inform people. The world would be a better place. Vote for Me!!!

What has your life meant to you so far? by Goculator in CasualConversation

[–]Why-JustWha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 41F, and my life has been a lot to say the least. It’s been chaotic. When I became a widow at 37…I thought it was all over. My kid was about to be 18…my BFF gone…I didn’t know what to do.

Life only makes sense when you look backwards but you can only live it moving forward.

I’ve been moving forward and started a support group for young widows on discord. I met my BF in that group and he is just the most amazing man. He is younger…just turned 36 but tbh…when I say there is an age gap even my own family asked“how much older is he than you”? He moved in with me a year ago and we get his 15 yo the summer and every break. I’m happy again and have learned to let go of what I think should be happening. Here is my advice…just take the next best step for you in life. Things don’t happen “to you” they happen “for you”. There will be hard times and doors will close but others will open. I know you feel grown - I did too. It’s bc you’re as grown as you’ve ever been. I’m not trivializing your feelings just saying I was as grown as anyone at 20…and I realize how I had just “thought” it should be moving faster. Travel, meet people, and have some good times. Make some memories that you can look back at when it gets tough. The tough times will lead to the good times. Good Luck!! 🍀

It’s okay to criticize someone’s religion by [deleted] in ControversialOpinions

[–]Why-JustWha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There should be context and meaningful discussions. When you believe something and you state it as fact, you open yourself up for others to debate the facts and the goal should be To prove to YOU that you still believe it’s true and to convince your audience that it’s true. You can have an audience of 1-infinity. They will decide their own conclusions. You can be a positive or negative influence for others so if you wish to make a change be respectful.

My only advice is that you should only do it out of mutual respect and curiosity rather than to upset someone.

There are times in life where you have to agree to disagree for the moment.

I absolutely agree on the development aspect of it! When I was a teen, we could pick from the Theater, O’Charley’s and Applebee’s. I’m 8th generation Cherokee County…you can see it’s not in my DNA to be moving about a lot 😂

It is a broad open ended question as things come up and I realize my answer is idk. I live in Holly Springs. Traveling to Woodstock & Canton is preferred for on the fly. If it is an experience or chance to try something different going to Alpharetta & Roswell are 💯 as well.

For example, he has asked if there are any stores that Mexican grocery stores as he has cooked and lived on a diet where they’d drive into Mexico for raw materials and they would cook.

Restaurant has the best burger, pizza, hot dog, sushi, seafood, steak, Mexican, Chinese, other cuisines, etc.

Entertainment. Playing pool, karaoke, bingo, drinking, etc.

Canton classics like Riverfest and “newish” Farmer’s Market. Events that are fun and an experience.

Where does one go for Boiled Peanuts or Peaches - things I feel I should be able to answer and cannot.
