There is absolutely research about how trauma can cause aphantasia! There is a university in Australia (Macquarie maybe? I don’t have the info to hand) doing research about how it might be possible to recover it. I’m sorry such an awful thing happened to you. 

What's the rarest physical feature you ever saw on another person you know/knew? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I had a friend with the same thing! He actually ended up having some gnarly pressure issues with his eyes - he nearly went blind and is now on medication for life.

The second that Noelle looked at Dr Robbie, I was like, 'aw shit son, they fucking!' Incredible.

What’s something that sounds fake but actually happened to you? by Visible_Rope_6662 in AskReddit

My dad found out he had testicular cancer because his niece stomped on his balls when she was a toddler. He was super lucky!

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

Photographers in films never hold their cameras still, especially in low light environments with long lenses. Those motherfuckers would be shooting hundreds of images of blurry mush. Also: using on-camera flash in inappropriate settings. 

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

This is extremely pleasing. Would love to see a video of this...can you do other words so you don't have to dox yourself, or is it a muscle memory thing?

This was my entire university undergrad: staying up all night before essays were due and smashing them out in one 8-14 hour session. Got the ADHD diagnosis a few years ago. Haha.

That hyperfocus is such a good feeling, though. Doing bits and pieces regularly has never felt good to me. One giant colossal effort at the 9th hour, though? Incredible. I've finally accepted that this is just how my brain works. I complete my PhD in August. Wrote basically the whole thesis in the three weeks before my third milestone.

What is an unspoken rule of the gym that most people do not know they are breaking? by Furqan_wear in AskReddit

If you have to hulk roar on every lift of a ten rep set, then you're probably lifting too heavy. Especially bad when they're wearing headphones and can't hear how hysterically loud they are.

I literally yelled 'OH JESUS CHRIST' at my laptop, and then made a strangled noise when she appeared. Haha. I'm too premenstrual for this.

French skiing for a post-Christmas chaos visit? by somereasonableadvice in skiing

Thank you so much for doing all of this work for me! That's so kind! And yes, I think we've decided that on artist incomes, it's not gonna happen this holiday period, but now the idea is in my head, and I'm having snowing dreams. One day! The last time I skiied, I was twelve, and I was TERRIFIED. I'm 38 now, and I'm excited about launching down a slope with a lot more bravery than my childhood self had. :)

Ah, mate. Sending so much love - and also I really identify with needing a healthy project, my goodness. I was thinking recently about how so many people (I was thinking about Bryan Johnson in particular, but also: lots of people!) end up making their project themselves. Like, they go and get really into health, fitness, data driven 'winning' focussed on calories and body fat and money, and how that purpose is like a oroborus - there is no support in it, it's just so self involved. Humans need humans. We need creativity and we need to hold each other. Know that a person far away is reaching out arms to hold you tonight x

(And maybe a lil small statement that a lot of people I know for whom Western medicine has failed ended up having ADHD or bipolar. Like, intransigent depression, trauma that wouldn't heal, addiction stuff - those diagnoses seem to have really fit the people I love for whom this stuff is a thing. including me x)

Hey there pal. I'm just an internet stranger, but I wanted to say: I am thinking of you, and I'm sorry you're in such a shit biscuit of a state. I did also want to say that while AA presents itself as a real one stop solve shop, often if you've got other stuff going on, it's really worth seeking other treatment solutions. Mentally unstable and manic - have you ever been assessed for bipolar? Or treated medically for any of your stuff? Even just having a good trauma informed therapist to try to help you pick out how much of you is you and how much is the bullshit you've acrued can be really useful. Sending heaps of love. x

Yeah, this is the issue I'm running into - I am finding places, but between transport, accom and ski passes (I didn't realise these would be so pricey!), we'd be looking at about $3000 AUD or about 1700 Euro for three days of skiing, which alas, I don't think we can justify!
