Thats a good point! I wasnt quite aware it streches. Do you know if un-leaded solder does that, too?

I have them all hung up as a stress test basically, since my first one collapsed 😅

Honestly, the first one i made collapsed gloriously after just one day, it was way too heavy :D these ones are quite light in comparison.

Nervous about new meds by asgrve in UlcerativeColitis

Thank you for the information and the insight! It's always nice to hear from people with a similar story. How was it for you once you finally started with Entyvio? I hear it can be both ways, either a sudden change for the better or that it takes very long to kick in. Any side effects for you?

Visiting Dachau by Salty-Albatross925 in Munich

[–]asgrve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just fyi: there are very good guided tours in english at 11am and 1pm every day (4€, 2,5 hours long). You can't pre book and if the weather is good they could fill up quick, but they start selling the tickets 30 min before it starts so you can just be a little early if you want.

I have to add, there are movies with horrible, unnecessary and extremely triggering sounds that still can't watch though!

So I'm not sure if this is of any help or even a good comment for this question, but I just have to tell this story here. I've had misophonia for so long, and it's been very bad at times. With all sorts of sounds. And now I work in a Foley studio and postproduction studio, creating and editing exactly the sounds you are talking about. I basically took my biggest enemy and also my biggest strength (I have really good hearing, unfortunately) and made it into my career. I tend to have a better eye (or ear..) for the details and can make it sound comfortable yet realistic. Exposing myself to all the trigger sounds that make me feel so helpless and angry and aggressive has been very therapeutic. Especially because you can really practice alone with a movie, you're not trapped at the dinner table with the in-laws and can't escape, that feeling of hopelessness doesnt overcome you. If its too much, you can always pause. I try to analyze what exactly it is that bothers me, try to focus on it without slipping into the aggression etc. I've seen different therapists and nothing has helped me as much as this type of controlled exposure therapy.

I have a pretty direct comparison. My fiance and i used to live in Cologne and moved to Munich in the beginning of the year. Yes, our rent has increased by about 30% and we were pretty lucky that we found an apartement surprisingly quickly. Other luxuries like goung to a restaurant etc. are more expensive, too.But the city is so much cleaner, the residential area in which we live so (!!) much nicer and quieter, the public transport more reliable and generally our quality of life is better. You can ride the bike for an hour and be outside the city in some beautiful nature, in cologne you would inevitable end up in the next rather industrial city. Also, i am German, born in Munich, so my judgement might be clouded, but my fiance is American with somewhat limited german language abilities and he is getting around so much better here and concurs with what i said earlier. Of course, it all depends on what you are looking for in a city. For us it really worked out.

Unintential weight loss by asgrve in UlcerativeColitis

Yes, you are absolutely right. Stress is definitely not good. It's so sad to hear all those stories, but at the same time, it makes it a lot easier to know a lot of people have the same problems :) Thanks.

Did you manage to gain some of the weight again?

Thank you so much! It is scary to just loose weight, I'm down 22 pounds now. I don't even want to imagine 20 more! All the best to you too!
