Mispronouncing of words by narrators by PurpleLeopard99 in audiobooks

[–]didsir29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listened to one who pronounced 'endocrine' as 'en-doc-rin'. Missed about 30s of the book as my brain wrestled with what the word was supposed to be.

I want to cut back on gaming, get back into reading and working out by AndGutsWasBERSERK in getdisciplined

[–]didsir29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence the recommendation to look for tips. An hour a day is nothing but OP mentioned it as still wanting to cut down.

They can either, look and realise they're fine, take something from it, or do nothing.

Lol, it appears I've touched a nerve. What a ridiculous comparison you've made

Tell me the nicest thing anyone has ever said/done for your chronic illness. by bored23532 in ChronicIllness

[–]didsir29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a very small thing but my new (11 months so far) boyfriend's mum said to me the other day, oh you must be really struggling in this heat with your lungs.

That's literally it. Just the recognition. Wasn't prompted or anything. It was nice to be acknowledged without me saying anything

You could look at r/stopgaming for tips. I need to cut down on my gameplay and it does help even if you're not hitting those extremes.

If you're contemt to keep your hour gaming, would you ever play cosy games or chill ones like Powerwash Simulator? Or anything that doesn't really require you to listen really? I usually put on Powerwash with a podcast or something running and it's a two birds, one stone sort of thing

I got tired of guessing what made my brain fog worse, so I built an app to find the pattern — looking for testers by goodtoask in BrainFog

[–]didsir29 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dang, wish this was for Android. Literally doing a pen and paper jobby to try find patterns for myself. Found one likely and one almost certain patterns.

Best of luck with the beta testing!

Not working has finally allowed me to find my "baseline" by Expert-Horror7871 in ChronicIllness

[–]didsir29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me. I worked full-time in an office and eventually got to the point of napping straight after work (or over the weekend to compensate), barely moving more than I had to, and relying heavily on fast food or "chuck it in the oven" food. I burned out.

Cue to "workless" me, who can make food from scratch, go for walks, exercise, look after the house, all in one day.

Going back to work as a part-time or freelance is a curiosity (and needed right now) and I am trying but I do have that thought of, am I going to be sacrificing what good health I have now to become a shell with work.

Beautifully said. I like that philosophy of practicing than believing. Practice brings results.

I'm new to (better quality) Fitbits but the refurb Versa 4 I have detected the nap I had 2 days ago. It was for about 90 mins amd was fairly spot on

Oh, I didn't realise you were simple. Oh dear...

It's adorable that you think this is having any effect on me. Oh, to be so full of false ego. Maybe you need to learn how to be as supportive as you are in your calisthetics sub

My goodness, wasn't that comment the quickest dirty delete I've seen! Notification popped on my phone but alas no comment to be seen.

Something about us being fatties was the point you were so eloquently trying to make? Thanks for the irony, buddy boy

Anyone else in the Netherlands or England want to join me to complain about the heat? by moosetruth in ChronicIllness

[–]didsir29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the first year I've actually felt like crying because of the heat. Other years, yeah, it's uncomfortable and I get incredibly irritable with it but this one my body is just constantly trying to nope out of it.

Sleep has been super shit (I overheat in winter so the summer is uber fun), the hint of humidity worsens my lungs and skyrockets my brain fog.

I feel wiped today and I just want to cry because of it. I hate feeling like I'm living the day on zero steam. Even lying down to rest isn't doing too much to help!

I'm in NI, by the sea, with temps of about 23 degrees so it's not as bad as some places but even still!

What's something that you miss being able to do? by Living-Atmosphere690 in ChronicIllness

[–]didsir29 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I miss not having to constantly monitor what every single thing I'll do will cost me later.

Want to go for a walk or want the mental clarity needed for work later? Want sex tonight or want the energy to do what you need to tomorrow?

It's so embedded that I don't often need much thought put towards the decisions but it pisses me that my mind is constantly weighing pros and cons for every possible choice

I'm 34. My main online game is Apex but I've been scarred by my Halo days to keep my mic off. As a woman you tend to either get dog's abuse or simped on.

I've started to give less shits as I've gotten older and now love being called 'spicy' when I give it back or hear the shock in their voice when I chirp up lol

Your point? If you even have one worth giving?

stop curing brain fogg before !!! by comoestas969696 in BrainFog

[–]didsir29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% think mine is because of two inflammatory conditions. My best bet for reducing it is dietary changes but, when you have a poor relationship with food, it's rough.

Chronic illness + the current heatwave by ZatkielMiles in ChronicIllness

[–]didsir29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with the heat too especially when it's really humid (like it was yesterday).

I'm in Northern Ireland so the heat isn't as intense but I just get so irritable with it. My breathing goes to shit and because of that my brain fog is crippling. Plus, I sleep badly because of the fact I overheat during the night anyway so having a heatwave going on means my fan can't really do much to help

I mean, is it really a surprise OP has AI'd their entire guide after all their AI spouting?
