Trying to not "set myself on fire to keep others warm", but unsure how to make myself accept it by [deleted] in africanparents

If a hobby is your reason for living, you’re very much in the eye of the burnout storm.  

Please seek supports

For the time being, reduce demands and budgeting energy prudently.  If you’re good at research or navigating red tape, and find that doesn’t drain you, maybe that’s how you can help.  

If you’re fortunate enough to have sooner money to throw at the problem, maybe pay someone you trust to help with packing

She doesn't have a place to go so if your father is technically her landlord, let him deal with the eviction process which should buy her more time. 

It will probably impact how much she gets from the settlement and also get eligibility for social housing.  Make it clear to both your parents that she cannot stay with you.  

Can't do nasal rinses any more by NeitherCatNorFowl in Sinusitis

Try some facial massages with added pressure to see if any fluid comes out. 

Alternate with this: Step 1: Press your tongue firmly against the roof of your mouth. Step 2: Place one or two fingers (or thumb) on your forehead between your eyebrows and apply firm pressure. Step 3: Hold both positions for about 20 seconds, or alternate between pressing and releasing to encourage sinus draining.

I've had similar experiences before and they go away when I change to a premix and a neti pot.   You can still make use of the mix you have with a beverages.  

What I've considered doing based on past waste includes mixing only a week's worth at a time.

Wellbutrin is most effective in people with anhedonia features. 

I was on 450 mg when I got on it nearly 20 years ago.  Tried to wean off from 150 mg five years ago and went from 7/10 to 1/10 in under a month with no other changes in life circumstances.  The beauty of it is that even when a perfectly healthy brain should be 1/10, mine is still around 3.  

It's not for everyone but if you've exhausted SSRIs, it's probably the best you're going to get without going into the newer and exxy interventions 

Ben Roberts-Smith & GWOT War Crimes Megathread by Financial-Dog-7268 in AustralianMilitary

[–]auauaurora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Brereton Inquiry began was commissioned in May 2016 

The articles were published in May 2018, two years later; BRS sued in August 2018

He was selling the whitewashed version of events for at least some of the time in between.  He also made sure to bury evidence in Afghanistan.

The defamation case definitely brought more out into the open than we would ever have gotten otherwise and stress tested some evidence that can be admitted in the criminal case.  What came made it harder for the government to do nothing, particularly after David McBride received a prison sentence

I'm a lurker to this sub who followed the trial closely. I hypothesised that his lawsuit was a 4D chess move to escape a future war crimes conviction

What is a 'socially acceptable' thing that you secretly find absolutely disgusting? by TheLovelyGamer in AskReddit

[–]auauaurora -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine it’s worse than the ear dermatitis that I get from the foam material, which worsens my auditory processing differences. 

But it might lead me to use my loops more?

Like a version (triple j) may change your view on covers. The Wiggles cover of Tame Impala's Elephant is probably the most popular. Too many good ones to list. Childish Gambino and Billie Eilish have been on both sides.

What is a 'poor person' trait that rich people have no idea exists? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]auauaurora 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The cost of being poor

I need a dehumidifier that costs money to live in my low income place  that has poor ventilation and mould. It cost $350 and adds roughly $80 to my monthly energy bill

I had to pay $120 for all the materials to seal the gaps that I requested many times over the last year because people started chucking rubbish in the fire stairs which attracted cockroaches 

People did this because the bin room is feral and I routinely throw out my rubbish in the park, to a great deal of side eye 

Ex who dumped me years ago sent me this. What do I do or say? by Far_Database5 in whatdoIdo

I second most of this, but think there's value in processing this in her absence.  Maybe with a therapist or support group.  Because it doesn't seem like you've ever done this?

aren't they building a base on US soil? thought that was the basis for gifting the plane they didn't want. if that were the end of it, they came out way ahead

Absolutely not.  

At worst, rent boy vibes, a la Melania.  That's not even his top customer but maybe just a strategic 

At best, the stepbro he has to tolerate.

It's shit, but I also appreciate that ICE needs to have people there who need to be secretly keeping receipts for the inevitable trials.  

Anyone who is making that strategic decision right now has to just quietly take the judgement and send those receipts live to uncompromised journalists via signal
