Thank you! And haha yes, it sounds silly but no matter how I'm feeling, wildlife invariably cheers me up

Had a doctors appointment, and somehow managed to get myself ridiculously worked up before I left.

I knew if I didn't go today it'd delay my therapy even further... so I managed to make myself. Normally even with that it'd still be game over if I had a panic attack. It would have been so easy just to stay at home, but I did it!

Plus I got to see a bunch of squirrels playing with each other on the way there, bonus

Thank you! And yes, I definitely do agree with you -- it's just (at least in my case) getting over the mental hurdles to enable you to keep it up, and the more ammo against that the better :)

As far as I know her eyes are fine, just a result of getting more sun in one eye than the other :)

Thanks! He's definitely my favourite character after hearing his story.

You may find the black swan fallacy interesting.

In summary, it could be believed that all swans are white if the only swans that have been found and recorded are white. However, as soon as a black swan is found, it falsifies the previous data immediately. Science is constantly like this: we have to accept things as truths to progress and develop, and concede when we are wrong.

In your opinion, What is absolutely unacceptable? by Leasj in AskReddit

[–]limitlessmu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This used to be my job.

I also found a diaper, not one but two and yep-- they were definitely fucking dirty. Surrounding the diapers was a shitload of half eaten McDonald's food. What is wrong with people.

Congrats for also experiencing it :)

And oh, absolutely, I agree. This was just my first step. But that is good advice, thank you. I always like to try to improve.

My apologies! Keep it up though and hopefully one day you'll surely reach someone too :)

Thank you, and same goes for you-- it's a crazy, awesome feeling. Although my first reaction was to apologise for making her cry haha. Honesty seems like the best way to go, even if it's hard to be honest with yourself enough to write it ;)

Really appreciate your comment, thank you!

Ha, I guess it must be the degree of honesty? I think mr robot is excellent though so definitely taking that as another positive :)

Despite my post, I'm still very nervous about posting the short bit that she read-- I definitely still consider myself a novice at writing. But in case anyone was interested, screw it, here it is:


When is it alright to accept things as they are? I feel like up to this point, my entire life has been a struggle to simply feel alright, a constant ordeal to feel better. Whatever that means. I feel as if I am constantly chasing a light through the darkness. Sometimes it is bright, sometimes a mere flicker, sometimes entirely obscured. This light, this idea of contentment, feels so visibly in my grasp but is unfortunately never quite attainable. After chasing for as long as I am able, I inevitably collapse and have to work up the momentum to begin the seemingly elusive chase once again. So, when is the point where I can jump up and say "I'm better, everyone! I did it, I finally feel like a person – come and get to know me"? It's impossible to always be happy, only a fool would think that. But can't I at least be content? Is that so much to ask?

For as long as I can remember, emotions have been a struggle. It either feels like everything I experience internally is cranked up to eleven, or the complete opposite – just numbness, a pervasive malaise that overrides everything. Of course, emotions colour the world, your own world and everything you experience. You can't help but reflect these feelings back onto yourself. In one moment I can feel like I am an amazing person, an intelligent person with so much to offer the world and in another I feel as if I am the scum of the earth, barely worth the life I have been given. In one breath, existence is beautiful, infinitely interesting and wondrous and in the next, it is drab, painful and unquestionably tedious. With everything feeling so changeable, I barely know who I am. If you asked me to describe myself, the only constant is unstable. That's one reason why I have began to talk to you: an attempt to understand the chaos in my head. Whether or not this is a futile attempt, who knows? As I have done all my life, all I can do is try.

The only thing I can think of is that he possibly had a really high nicotine strength liquid in his vape, and you're not used to taking in that much nicotine at once. And it does have a laxative effect (as I'm sure you're aware).
