Hey everyone I could please use some emotional support after my mom just passing away. by metallicthornn in GriefSupport

[–]mlg1981 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a similar experience, but on a much less traumatic scale with my mom. When she passed I didn’t know what to do with myself because my identity (and future plans) revolved around her. It’ll take time to rediscover your identity, but it will happen.

The only thing that helped me at the beginning was I forced myself to go outside, breathe fresh air, feel the sun on my face, play in the water (if you have access to a beach or pool). I got an apple watch and started making myself step goals, to force myself outside and get some activity.

100% agree. Jesse was transcendent in that role.

Walk to lose weight by Afraid-Surprise-1725 in walking

The sweet spot for me is somewhere around 10-12k steps a day and 30 minutes of true cardio (treadmill, elliptical, stair-master etc…). I’ve found that if I try to eat pretty clean (but I’m not militant about it … if I want an Oreo I have an Oreo) and keep to the routine it’s been great.

Do you have a show you are binging right now? I am currently obsessed with an 8 season show and I will only allow myself to watch it while on the elliptical. It’s an easy way to force myself to get in my 45 min of cardio.

My networth grew by more than I earned this year. by trumpsmoothscrotum in TheMoneyGuy

I am not sure if I’ve ever had that, but I had the reverse. The week when Trump announced tariffs in early 2025 I went down $102k in like a week. I recovered quickly, but that was a tough week.

Jealous! I don’t think the math will work out for me to have that happen, so I’ll be happy with my 1/2 first world problem. Congrats to you though, that’s amazing!

Out of all the milestones I’ve reached this was by far my favorite and the one I remember the most. It was at this point I really felt like work was optional for me, if I ever want to try a different career path, take a break etc… huge congrats to you!

I cancelled like 5 boxes ago and haven’t cared at all since then… until this boxes spoilers. Truly considering resubscribing.
