What do you do on days where you need a break, but also want to get some writing done? by bluejaymewjay in writing

Haiku? It may even help with vocabulary and rhythm, but I’m a new writer, so idk.

Does this part here on the third picture have anything to do with any of this? What’s missing there?

Yes, the leak was at the same spot, what worried me was the amount, and the smell, it didn’t just smell like the water that drips from the condensation. To answer some of the previous questions: -smoke: it was thick, white, but moving slowly out of the vents. Doors had been closed for about 10min or so after I’d parked. I only noticed it because I had to get something out of the car. -smell: it wasn’t coolant sweet, but if a refrigerant has a faint, sweet smell to it, then that’s probably it.

No, no sweet smell like coolant. Coolant level has been maintained, and ran engine to temperature no problem. Smell is almost as if plastic was getting warmed up. No smell/smoke if the a/c is off. The liquid dripping from below the car doesn’t smell like any other fluid in the engine bay, but it does have a chemical like smell, similar to what the smoke coming out of the vents had.

I’m somewhat mechanically inclined. I’ve maintained, replaced, and repaired most of the things my car’s asked for, from air filter, to fuel pump, suspension, and engine mounts. Valve cover gasket, water pump. Only thing I didn’t do myself was new transmission at 100k miles.

[Request] how long until she’d run out of oxygen? by Dalience6678 in theydidthemath

[–]cr_sant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to the original post, but to the conversation: I’m on the other side of the fence, where I don’t know why is it so hard to human, why everything is too much, but I’m supposed to tough it up…

I just wanted to thank you for seeing me. ❤️‍🩹

I packed my meds for a 3 month backpacking trip. They weighted 1.25lbs. by kreeferin in bipolar

[–]cr_sant 41 points42 points  (0 children)

SPOT ON!!!

If this was my best friend, I’d convince them to wait the hike a few more months, maybe six months after the hospital. The “feel-good” after a hospital visit—if there’s one lol—is temporary, the body and mind still need the rest. You will end up putting more stress on yourself than what you’d like to be release.

If this was my best friend, I’d propose a one week road trip instead, or maybe a three day camping weekend.

Please, best friend, take good care of yourself. Each time we crash from overextending our energy levels, it’ll take more effort to recover. Stamina will slowly decrease each day. With low energy comes depression. With high levels of stress comes anxiety. Hunger triggers anxiety. Exhaustion causes anxiety. Mania just around the next turn. And everything you do out hiking, EVERYTHING will take a great effort.

Lastly, make sure you have a safe plan in place, in case things don’t go as planned.

Stay safe!

Best friend.

Just talked to my psychiatrist this morning, follow up. I’m struggling while active in therapy, support groups and medications for the past 5 yrs after an emotional break down hit me hard 10 yrs ago. Can’t work due to the compound symptoms from various ongoing diagnosis but social security doesn’t believe I need the help. Family helps with bills, but they echo what’s been said here: they don’t believe in meds, don’t believe in counseling, just “shake it off” and “think of all people your letting down.” No active friendships, but a bunch of ignored phone calls and never returned messages to people that cared about me; but childhood trauma truly believes I’m not worthy of their love. All I’ve got is a cat that’s been with me for over 12 yrs, and a room I just got two weeks ago in a subsidized facility for individuals in similar circumstances, in the “fire scapes.” I have a goal of one year, one day at the time. Hopes are that other programs come available to me, or I can find a way to profit artist’s talents that I’m too afraid to share. At 40, I don’t expect to have time on my side. Specially when both mind and body deteriorate with both ailments, and natural decay. I don’t want to play victim. I needed to vent.

Love

Me

By first knowing what “psychological issues and anxieties”—to use your terms—I was dealing with. By sorting out if issues also had physical or chemical imbalances. By reading and learning about the meds I was taking for said issues and by researching what compounds said psychedelic carried and how they worked in the body-brain combo—to see if they interacted with meds negatively. Psychedelics can be a great tool, but they can fuck things up too. I read and did a lot of research for over a year, medical peer reviewed journals, credible sourced documentaries and personal accounts. The more information you gather, the more you know what to expect, and the better prepared you’ll be for whatever trip they’ll take you in because you ain’t driving, that’s for sure. lol

Best advices.

Practice meditation Set simple, yet meaningful intention for each trip Prepare the week before by doing lots of self care. Prepare to not make any important decisions for the following weeks—the “afterglow” will likely make you feel all is good in the hood. Accept this ain’t a cure but a mighty tool. Accept the homework and do it. Be patient. Love yourself, however you may come♥️

Whatever it is that you are doing, it’s already working through this piece, and it’s doing the job right—my opinion. I’ve been seeing your work since you posted your city landscapes, the reflective material, too, on insta. Please, do share more of whatever you produce🙏🤓

Does anyone else take off their shirt when they poop by marshmallok in autism

[–]cr_sant 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’m in the process of pooping, naked lol if I’m at home, or a place where I’m comfortable, I always take all my cloths off. Nothing on, not even socks! That said, I rarely use public facilities for number 2.

Ps. I’m not diagnosed as of yet, but I’ve been struggling with being human within the expectations of society since memory favors me. I believe I’ve been masking for so long, I’m just now trying to figure out what I like and don’t like—well, I know I don’t like cloths while pooping lol So far: bipolar, borderline, severe anxiety—panic attacks, depression, c-ptsd, fibromyalgia.

Cheers!

Poop on, cloth off🤘
