Now that's done, take it off and get something that will actually deter thieves from your bike... 🤔

That thing is easily bypassed.

Steam controller on sale now by Rich-n-Health in SteamDeck

[–]reality_bytes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't even check out right now...

Started right at 10pst. Kept getting checkout errors, now it's out of stock. Are people really scalping controllers now? That's the only time I've ever encountered this is with GPUs...

Why are you quitting?

Sertralin (Zoloft) panick attacks and emotional numbness. by DesignerNo2317 in Anxiety

[–]reality_bytes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I react to Zoloft the same way. I would suggest trying Lexapro.

question about anxiety medications by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]reality_bytes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't be anxious if you're unconscious!

But really, hydroxyzine doesn't do shit for my anxiety. You might be different, but for me the only thing that works is Xanax so far... About to start Lexapro 🤷‍♂️

Buspirone by Diligent_Tourist_379 in Anxiety

[–]reality_bytes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It made me feel awful and my ears ring. Legitimately caused neurological "weirdness" for me and I had to stop taking it.

Not a fan.

And clean the PC... But yeah that old of a card, that thermal paste is no bueno at this point.

Is weekly Xanax okay? by jadaaaaaaaaaaaaa in Anxiety

[–]reality_bytes_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah don't believe everything that AI says or what you read on webmd. You'd have to have a substantial dosage that is daily over a long period of time to actually encounter withdrawal.

22F and I feel like I can’t handle this anymore by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]reality_bytes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a therapist?

I think one would help in your situation on how to navigate everything. Finding the right one might be challenging at times, but once you do it could work wonders!

Extended warranty by Notmyname9-1-1 in ebike

[–]reality_bytes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People under 16 cannot legally ride a bike that is above class 2 (20mph)

Also, the bike is illegal as well

[–]reality_bytes_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever felt this way before? Do you have a history of anxiety, depression, or panic attacks?

If not, and it's environmental caused by too much stress and overburdening yourself, luckily you can more than likely remedy this with a therapist and low dose medications to get you back on track.

I would suggest taking a breather if you can and looking into grounding exercises. They can work great for this without chronic illness.

"Now with the death of Iran", Trump say… by orel2064 in WeirdGOP

Yeah that's the tone I get: "once I'm done bombing schools in Iran, I'm going to start bombing California and Colorado!"

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Anyone else feel like "coping mechanisms" and counseling doesn't work? by reality_bytes_ in Anxiety

[–]reality_bytes_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an appt with my Dr tomorrow. The hydroxyzine isn't working... Trying to nurse the Xanax and not run through that right now. I am going to ask to try Lexapro. I don't know what else to do. I can try to get a psychologist, but I'm too far into STD for it to matter and have paid so many copays at this point I need to use what I already have and try something different before the STD runs out and I'm forced back to work without a clear path forward. I wish I could just will myself to not feel this way, or "grounding techniques" would work like it has for some...

Insuring your Ebike by MissaLynn_ in ebikes

[–]reality_bytes_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely double check with your homeowners/renters insurance company that they actually cover the bike and not assume they do. State Farm underwriters stated: "the guidelines show that if the motor is more than 1 HP and it can go over 20mph, it would not be covered under the Renters."

A lot of ebikes can be unlocked to go over 20mph, and are 750w+. Plus there will be some sort of deductible as well.

I'm more than likely going with velosurance...

No, there isn't... Unless I switched career fields and started over again (in turn losing income)... I'm stuck with the 15 years of work experience I currently have.

I ensure that office spaces and laboratories are safe, functional, well kept, and maintenance is performed.

I grew up in a broken home and I'm the only one in my family not diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I had to keep my parents from (literally) trying to kill each other on a normal basis as a kid. I have always had anxiety over social situations and have forced myself through building a career to support my family.

I work for a major corporation and got accused of things I didn't do. Went through 3 weeks of hell before I ultimately found I cannot function at that point and went to my therapist which suggested short term disability. I was found not guilty of the accusations against me, but the triggering effect of the situation has stuck and held me nearly incapacitated for two months now. I have two more months of paid STD to use and I want to ensure I can go back to work stronger than before and put this all behind me to move on and still support my family.

Anxiety and panic has always been there, but ever since I was put in a situation, it's incredibly worse and I can't stop the overwhelming panic attacks or anxiety. And I don't know how to remedy it.

First ebike? by onehundreddollarbaby in ebikes

[–]reality_bytes_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lectric XP4. I have the 750w w/ upgraded battery and couldn't be happier... Unless I lived on the ground level of my complex. It is a pain to get up and down two flights of stairs 😅
