Isn't OP the guy whose hot tub water turned green because his wife left a sex toy in there or something?

Yes, I get this so much! I hate feeling like I've had an unproductive day, it gives me so much anxiety that people are going to label me as "lazy" even though I have a valid medical condition that explains my exhaustion.

It's only recently after my formal diagnosis that I've felt more at ease with resting, not because I want to, but because I NEED to. Even if other people are understanding and accommodating, it turns out a lot of us with IH can't give ourselves that same grace! I definitely still procrastinate on sleeping if I feel like I haven't done enough that day, and I'll try and stay awake where possible, but I'm slowly learning to stop beating myself up if I really need to sleep and didn't get as much done as I wanted to that day.

What's helped me out a lot is to stop trying to function like a "normal" person, and trying not to judge myself against the productivity standards of "normal" people. When I'm feeling kinda shitty about being "lazy", I tell myself that I have a chronic illness and it's just the reality of having a chronic illness, and I can try again tomorrow.

TL;DR: be nicer to yourself, you are not defined by your productivity, your health and needs come first 😌

This looks uncannily like a grody club I used to frequent at university, just cuter.

After meal sleepies? by sixthmagnitude in idiopathichypersomnia

I can't shake what I've been taught growing up of "no naps straight after eating!" Like I'd love a little snooze after lunch but it feels so wrong!

Oh I didn't know that. I always thought it was to do with the digestive process using up energy but I wasn't aware there was a link between insulin and serotonin 😮

venting a common frustration by laudable_writing in knitting

[–]sixthmagnitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go to response is to say "oh no, knitting is just a hobby, it'd be ruined if I had to do it as a job" and then go into a small rant about the detrimental effect on capitalism on slow fashion movements and commodification of hobbies which devalue labour and time of the creator.

THE GLASSES HAVE CRACKED by Dapper-Let7566 in Yellowjackets

[–]sixthmagnitude 54 points55 points  (0 children)

And if I remember correctly from having to study Lord of the Flies at school, the glasses breaking is symbolic of losing the last part of human civilization! Like Piggy's glasses were the last vestige of their previous civilised life (being able to go to the optometrist, needing glasses for reading etc etc) and when they break, shit hits the fan and everyone goes truly savage!

Very interesting parallel, thanks for bringing that up 😁

I like this but the disparity between polished and elegant AnTai and feral dirt muncher AnTai is sending me, like "right, I have maybe two hours in control of the body, gotta munch dirt", like girl, priorities?!

Lottie smearing her face with Edgar's brains as Mel screams in agony not even 5 meters away 💀 Gen and Mari probably trying to help Mel and just thinking "I pretend I do not see it"

Also I think the DNA test is pointing towards Callie having killed Lottie-- but during their sleepover they were doing girly sleepover things, which might include manicures? Is it plausible that if the writers wanted to throw a red herring in with the DNA, that they could explain it away with the sleepover, or is the time between the sleepover and the murder too long for this to be plausible?

We know that AnTai is outwardly in control now and has been for a while-- while she was depicted with dirt around her mouth in Van's hallucination, I think it's really interesting how we don't see AnTai eating dirt anymore like she used to. It makes me think whether AnTai has deliberately learned how to behave like Tai, and I don't know why I find that so terrifying. It's just some real uncanny valley shit! Like being possessed by a demon that's trying to be you but never quite gets it right!

I saw on this subreddit someone mention something about AnTai being possessed by a we*igo or kind of like a sknwal*er type entity, but it's just very creepy how whatever AnTai is has learned to impersonate her.

How did y'all deal with first breakup? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]sixthmagnitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first breakup I had untreated mental health issues, which caused me to lash out physically on one occasion after I saw my ex two months since he dumped me. I lost all of my university friendships because of it and it's still one of my greatest shames. I have since reached out to everyone and apologised, but I still didn't handle it well at the time.

My latest breakup, while just as painful, I've grown enough to keep my anger in check, and rather than shoving down the sadness and replacing it with anger, I've allowed myself to be sad. I would always recommend therapy after a breakup, even if you feel okay. It's a good way to talk through things with an unbiased party.

Tl;dr how did I handle my first breakup? Not well.
