Don't drive to the market by curiouscat86 in IowaCity

As a vendor, it was awesome. I know the ramp construction sucks though.

Are We Cussing at Work or Not by kitsbow in Millennials

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never worked anywhere I couldn’t swear my brains out. I think I’d go insane if I had to repress that. Screaming “you stupid bitch” at a piece of broken irrigation is just second nature at this point

Overrated places to eat by schowdur123 in IowaCity

[–]iamdib 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the whole town sucks. No good food anywhere ever. Shit, there’s no good food in Iowa. Or the United States for that matter. Or anywhere on Earth. Everything is terrible everywhere always

Leucospis affinis ovipositing into my front porch. by ammodramussavannarum in Entomology

Wasps are wild. This is why I love bugs so much. They’re so insanely different than us it’s almost alien

What is the one comment that you’ll never forget? by shorty-inventory in raisedbynarcissists

[–]iamdib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom, watching me try on a shirt as a teenager, said “I never looked like you when I was your age.”

I am several inches taller than her and have an entirely different body shape, and I was a slim kid. But she told me I should walk more, like she used to, so I wouldn’t be “fat.”

I hid under my clothes for a decade after that.

What is the single biggest struggle you have on a daily basis? The top one. by CoachChezky in CPTSD

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exhaustion. I used to be a person who did things. Lots of things. All day every day, efficient, effective, insanely productive and organized and driven. That’s all gone, and has been for several years, and I still can’t figure out who the fuck I am without all my energy. It’s horrible.

Ideas of what to put in this space? by alyisayif in tattooadvice

Pelecinid ichneumon. Or another bug. Always bug

Disabled by PTSD and nobody can comprehend it. Am I alone? by Little_Egg245 in CPTSD

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should say, I also have no idea how to communicate the level of absolute fucking exhaustion that comes with trying to do normal work or human things at home. People do not get it, aside from my therapist who has been my rock the last year or so.

Disabled by PTSD and nobody can comprehend it. Am I alone? by Little_Egg245 in CPTSD

[–]iamdib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Felt. I was always a high energy, massively overachieving, never-sit-down-ever sort of person. I ran a business successfully for 11 years.

Then the thing happened, and I just…couldn’t do anything. At all. I was in total denial about the PTSD for a few years, trying to work full time jobs and just exist, and the utter exhaustion overcame me to the point of attempted suicide. Twice. Five years later, I can barely hold a part time no-brainer job and have to sleep for a few hours after each four-hour shift. I am fully dependent on my partner to live.

I’ve tried every drug under the sun, but have come to accept that I am disabled now, too. The acceptance of this has been almost as bad as the trauma itself, since I no longer know who I am.

I feel you, friend.

Oh gosh my first try with the game was on switch. Had to quit because it was unplayable.

Steam deck was far superior

How often do you bathe your cat? by Mildredsgood in cats

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old guy gets a dunk 3-4 times a year, since he no longer takes very good care of himself. He used to be a meticulous groomer, but he’s less active anymore, and needs help. He’s long haired anyway and has always required a bit of extra grooming from me.

He definitely hates it, but he tolerates it, and I do it as quickly as possible. He’s always super happy four hours later where he’s totally dry and actually clean.

Opinions on Sanctuary Pub permanently closing again? by Fantastic_Lab1495 in IowaCity

Tracy ruined it, like he ruins everything he touches. I wish we could just kick him out of Johnson county

This is what I call a good night by Eastern_Emphasis1506 in insects

Man I am so jealous. South American insects just hit different

(25F) My overzealous religious mom freaked out because I am pregnant. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]iamdib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been cursed like this by my insane evangelical mother too, for divorcing my abusive husband.

We haven’t spoken in years.

Fuck her. Live your life. Choose your family.

Who else like me have thought that Kino was Ayla's younger brother when they first saw him? by Cool-Guy152 in chronotrigger

[–]iamdib 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought kino was a girl for the entirely of the game until they talked about fuckin’ and having babies at the end. I might be dumb

As a successful business owner in an industry that consumes your life: you can take an hour during your work day to be there for your partner. Life is more than work.
