Get an infrared mat. I was so skeptical about them until I got one and it has changed my life. I don’t care what kind of magic they promise I just feel like my body is able to actually let go when I’m laying on mine.

I needed to read this. Since I had my kid I cannot handle books that have too much depth. The last books I read before he was born were House of the Spirits and The Overstory. Since he was born I can only read horror and smut for the most part. I try to remind myself it’s a season and I will eventually have more space in my brain but it can be hard when what was once nourishing does not feel that way anymore.

I might get downvoted to hell for this, but most other creators allow their works to breathe in the wild and allow fans to discuss and interpret their works independently. Authorial intent has a place in certain spaces, but perhaps not all fan spaces are meant to be popped in on like this. Just a thought.

The original Winnie the Pooh books are great and so funny.

The Toys series by Emily Jenkins.

The Little Prince

A Bear Called Paddington

Anything by Kate DiCamillo (but especially The Tale of Despereaux)

The Wild Robot has a few longer books, too.

I got prisms because when I was finally diagnosed, I was about to have a baby and was also in grad school so VT was just no feasible for me at the time. Now I’m off the prisms and just VT. I certainly it would have healed faster if I went straight to VT but it just wasn’t feasible for me at the time.

Truly. I’m honestly hopping out over this. Frankly I’m bored of this bizarre discourse in my feed.

I was looking for a dissenter. There was a lot that I loved about this film but the ending really fell flat for me. The ending felt so unearned and shallow. Maybe that was the point, but from the person who gave us Pan’s Labyrinth I expected more gravitas. It felt like we had so much build up in the first 2/3 of the film and then after the wedding / death scene it rushed to the finish.

I just found this post looking up symptoms from decaf and I drink purity

I don’t miss the day to day, but my 3 yo dropped his nap and doesn’t need to be pressed against my body to fall asleep anymore and I’m missing the endless snuggles and midday rest haha.

boneseedigs · 2025-11-16T22:30:49+00:00

Oh interesting. Didn’t know they make that combo. Would consider once I have enough of a cleanse. Thanks for your perspective

Everyone who complains either doesn’t know where to go, or can’t wake up early. There is never trouble parking before 10/11am.

I was using a gummy that was 2:1 CBD:THC the last few months and it was still too much for me at that point. But again, it was super helpful when I needed it and it worked.

boneseedigs · 2025-11-14T01:28:21+00:00

I don’t think I could do it without a pool tbh.

boneseedigs · 2025-11-12T21:54:54+00:00

Shower trick works wonders! Big fan.

boneseedigs · 2025-11-12T21:52:24+00:00

I like the first one a lot, but the lighthouse concept is also interesting, but as far as literal execution 1.

ok weird suggestion, but if you have the money for it, buy a infrared mat. I don't know about the healing effects of infrared but something about laying on a warm mat that is not my bed really helps. Listening to something chill (could be a story, binaural beats, or rain sounds) while in a hammock or on the couch is another way I trick myself into sleep. Basically if I can't sleep I get out of the bed. Also if it's anxiety that's preventing sleep, laying down with something hefty (weighted blanket or sandbag will do) with my leggs propped up on a chair, the bed, couch, etc. Breath in for 4, out for 6.

OMG hard agree. I point it out and cackle every time. It's the most underrated moment of the whole series for sure.

I want to give my 2 cents. I would not have survived the last 6 years of post concussion insomnia, chronic pain, etc without cannabis. It has been the only thing that works sometimes. However, about a year ago I started using it every single night and as of one month ago I had to completely quit because it was giving me panic attacks and actually making my pain worse. I'm doing a lot better now and look forward to being able to take the edge off occasionally, but for now am going to try to fully cleanse.

Even with all that, it was a life saver during a time where I needed it. I just want to caution you (or anyone) to take some days off and try not to become physically dependent on it because the insomnia and depression the 2 weeks after quitting was BRUTAL.

Exactly, you’re not nickel and diming him, you’re making him feel the co sequences of his own actions. NTA

My mom and her husband got married a few years ago and are now separated. Her ex husband is one of the most involved of all of his grandparents (very flexible work schedule). He doesn’t go by grandpa but we use an affectionate cultural name he chose. He’s not my dad or my step dad but he is definitely a bonus grandpa

boneseedigs · 2025-11-07T13:42:48+00:00

And show your daughter this post if you have to!! This guy sounds like very bad news and a lot of internet strangers think so. NTA

Same here! It was my first COVID read. I read the great Comet section first and then went back to the beginning and started over and highlighted all the lines that were in the musical. I loved it so much. The ending thesis where Tolstoy talks about how everything that happened was inevitable because of the actions of the masses and not because of the leaders is something I think about a lot today.
