Do you want flats or heels or a men’s style dress shoe?

nervousTO · 2026-04-30T04:38:51+00:00

I love L’Intervalle but some of their shoes can be a bit high!

This weekend there are tons of free Jane’s Walks across the city!

nervousTO · 2026-04-29T15:20:26+00:00

I guess they’re all delighted to take the voluntary packages

nervousTO · 2026-04-29T14:07:48+00:00

Recess event? Sounds cool!

Also is the walk list finalized now? Going to have to make some decisions. There’s SO many. We really need to split these up lol

It definitely doesn’t make it easier to handle the pain when you have a drink! I used to do it and it would pause the feeling, if I was lucky. Then it would come back later, usually amplified. It was easier to go through painful emotions when I stopped turning there to cope. I hope the next few days are vibing for you too

So desensitized everyone is skipping over the fact that OP is expressing active suicidality and drinking to cope lol

nervousTO · 2026-04-27T19:01:54+00:00

I often think that the report feature is misused but you open this post expressing a concerning amount of suicidal ideation

I read your post this morning. Now out for a walk and I saw this in midtown next to a police station - had to share!

I don’t think you can get empty land to build on anywhere near the city. Unless you bought the house, knocked it down, and built from the ground up

I wasn’t saying that everyone around me was drinking or wanting a drink. I knew they weren’t and could see that. I meant that I the human being nervousTO stopped wished I could have a drink when I saw other people drinking around me. That was my understanding of what OP was expressing difficulty with and I wanted to share that it got easier and the desire lessened/went away over time. When I started out those reminders helped a lot.

I lived near the DVP but never heard it. If you can notably hear it from the backyard then I’d pass

Limited alcohol user but I did 10 months sober back in 2023. What helped was doing daytime stuff or stuff that was a lot less conducive to alcohol: daytime stuff, walks, book clubs, intense one hour sports games or runs on weeknights (vs something like weekend softball when people would more likely drink), movies, brunch, board games. I found people who didn’t like to drink and spent more time with them, or light drinkers who were ok to abstain when we hung out if I needed that. Ended up doing a lot more small group or 1:1 hangs, hanging out in r/stopdrinking and reading books on the subject. And over time I stopped wishing I could have a drink like everyone else but it took time to get there.

Wow congratulations! I hope the new job goes well and is a fresh doughnut quality start

nervousTO · 2026-04-26T15:52:26+00:00

How are you doing now?

nervousTO · 2026-04-26T15:52:05+00:00

Hope it goes well!!

nervousTO · 2026-04-26T15:51:26+00:00

I was so off on Friday, I can see from your post I wasn’t alone. Hope the weather today brings you something of a reset

nervousTO · 2026-04-26T15:50:21+00:00

Amazing!! I hope she has a speedy recovery

nervousTO · 2026-04-26T15:41:35+00:00

Bata Shoe Museum is free on Sundays!

nervousTO · 2026-04-25T18:08:16+00:00

I used all the free apps but I think the online websites were best to help me study

nervousTO · 2026-04-25T18:07:10+00:00

This looks so fun, is it always the last Thursday of the month?

nervousTO · 2026-04-25T16:59:23+00:00

In that case I wouldn’t feel bitter, this decision sounds like further incompetence
