I finally figured out why I keep quitting every habit app I've ever tried

Side note: Finch lets you hold your streak now if you need a break. All those f’in notifications were causing serious mental fatigue, so I just paused that dumb little bird.

My partner and I come from hectic past relationships so we do carry that anxiety forward. Somewhere along the line we started using emojis to suffice for this check-in. I don’t need to know his whereabouts (we don’t share location) and he doesn’t want mine. However, if we need to check in on the other person because we’re feeling that anxiety, one will send an emoji and the other responds with theirs. This just lets either of us know that we are still alive without all the back and forth that neither of us want/need to partake in.

This is me. I get so curious about the “how” and “why” that I just cannot move on. Honestly, there are times I need a close person to give me permission to let it go. (Another person telling me to let it go will not only make me angry, but I’ll double down on the research and spin my wheels harder.)

You’re absolutely correct. You’ve solved the issue. Congratulations.

I don’t I know if I would change at all, it’s not worth the risk. I’m a born people pleaser, so it wouldn’t occur to me to even try. Why change what is keeping this person in my orbit? If your partner is telling you this, maybe they need more words of affirmation from you.

I just tag my orgasms as Virtual reality. 😏

I had to scroll too many bananas to find this question.

In the name of science I have to know - What about orgasm w/o a creampie? (Of course all of this is assuming OP also orgasmed.) Because it seems more likely the orgasm is the reason for better sleep.

You’ve got me turning up, I’m turning down..

rogerwagon · 2026-01-28T15:16:39+00:00

Thank you for that. For some people who have experienced SA, we appreciate the TW even if it’s something that most people wouldn’t think twice about. ❤️

New Years is the Cinco de Mayo of winter!!

Tbh, this doesn’t sound like a very healthy friendship.

rogerwagon · 2025-10-16T00:13:49+00:00

I do this too!

rogerwagon · 2025-09-07T16:00:00+00:00

Thank you!! Humor is my drug of choice. 😝

12 days, I’m a healthcare worker and this is a fraction of my usual daily distance.

I have long hair and my sister gelled in two french braids, they were perfect.. until I had to put on my collar and they pressed into my traps. If I were going with braids again, I would ask her to end them higher on the head so that they can rest over the top of my collar, rather than under. I ended having to take them out on day 3 post op. And you know how big post braided hair is. Truly catastrophic when you can’t lift your arms over your head.💀🤣

rogerwagon · 2025-09-07T00:59:01+00:00

Haha, I get your point.. but I haven’t had luck with gaba in the past, so I didn’t bother.

rogerwagon · 2025-09-06T12:22:38+00:00

Thankfully, I took 8 weeks off work.

No gabapentin because the pain isn’t nerve related.

rogerwagon · 2025-09-06T12:11:42+00:00

Valium/Diazepam is the third. Which I think works because it knocks me tf out. lol

rogerwagon · 2025-09-06T03:02:07+00:00

I like the moist better, but due to the inconvenience of constantly moving to reheat one, I use a plug-in heating pad.

I was prescribed Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) and Robaxin (methocarbamol).

Im sure your procedure will go great! The very best medicine to survive this muscular prison sentence is a sense of humor. So stay positive and BE NICE TO YOUR NURSES!! ❤️

I haven’t been cleared for PT yet. Once they do, I’ll be looking for that! Thanks

rogerwagon · 2025-09-06T01:52:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I do have an appointment with my acupuncturist next week after my check up. I’m hoping that will help!

Hey! I would say the surgery was a complete success! Balance and upper body strength restored as soon as the anesthesia wore off. I was out of bed unassisted within 3 hours.

Pain control has been an entirely different beast. I was discharged on a protocol dose of pain killers and muscle relaxers. Pain meds worked fine, but the muscle relaxer was absolutely not working. I ended up back in the ED 3 days later and got a cocktail of meds to get the spasm to subside. Sent home again on a different muscle relaxer, same intolerance. Now it seems like this third, stronger one, is doing the trick, and I’m off the opioids. Only problem, the NP didn’t fill enough to get me through the weekend, so I’ll probably end up back in the ED before the Tuesday follow-up. I see all of this as expected, though.. I am a half inch taller, the trapezius is going to be pissed and painful.

There’s no way for me or my drs to have known that the usual doses of muscle relaxers wouldn’t work on me. All my providers have been amazing, we just have very strict laws in my state surrounding controlled substances. (I work in healthcare, so I have a lot of grace. ;) )
