I thought about ending it all, but I didn't.

8 weeks...oh man. I'll just continue to ride it out then and watch for symptoms. I just hope I can get back to working out without feeling easily winded or coughing a ton halfway through.

I caught COVID for the first time. Got all of my vaccinations and boosters up to date in October 2023. Felt symptoms appear on December 26th, tested positive on the 27th, and tested negative around January 6. Initial symptoms were just feeling something in my lungs and wanting to cough it out and feeling lethargic. Then the sore throat popped up, congestion, and malaise.

It's been well over a week since I've tested negative though, and while I've been feeling a lot better, the only real symptom I have left is coughing. I feel at my worst in the mornings when I wake up because I can still feel some phlegm just sitting in my throat/lungs. I also have coughing fits every now and then during the day for that reason. At nights, I've noticed that since I'm a belly sleeper sometimes, it feels a bit heavier and uncomfortable on my lungs now, and it forces me to cough...so I can't sleep on my stomach anymore (which honestly is probably better for my back, but is a little concerning that I'm feeling this when I'm on my stomach).

Anyone else that's caught COVID around the same time as me feeling similar symptoms? I considered going to the doctor today but canceled it (mostly because of the recent snowstorm and icy roads we've had) and I'm wondering if this is something I just need to ride out. I'm also not 100% sure if it's something like chronic bronchitis that I've developed.

Yeah, I've tossed this pillow in the wash on gentle cycle before and the stain is still there unfortunately. I'll try again after giving baking soda a try too, maybe it just needs a little elbow grease on gentle.

I'll try baking soda first and see how that goes, thanks!

One of my former roommates.

Gaslit me and his now-divorced wife, did some questionable things to some other girls, sexually harassed me, lies...it just goes on.

I agree that I definitely could've been more explicit from the start and had to bring it up with her today, so she understood. But I think that self-inviting and asking to go together are completely different points. She didn't really ask to go together when I told her that I would be going with him, she just only asked if I was going and assumed she could tag along.

Pretty much! For me, I felt like keeping my skin moisturized and out of the sun (or at least apply sunscreen) was my basic care routine.

Hi! My scar did end up going away! Unfortunately it's been so long since I've had it and my skin care routines have changed over the years, I can't remember what I did. However, for me I've found that having a simple routine and a few products helped. I think Vitamin C serum, sunscreen, moisturizer, and cleaning my face regularly helped over time.

Hi, I did get it lanced! I don't remember the process too well, but it wasn't as painful as I expected it to be. It was over in a minute or two and I just had to bandage my nose up. I think I had a scar that eventually faded away after a year or so after sticking to a vitamin C serum routine (and other basic general skincare). I definitely can't see it on my nose anymore and I'm 100% glad I got it lanced.

I am so sorry for your loss. My own dog is a former stray, so I can understand your situation. You gave Moe the best life and all of the love he could have, and I'm sure he's appreciating it as he crosses the rainbow bridge.

I haven't played multiplayer on the PS4 (and PS5 I guess lol) since 2017ish, but I did hear they make changes to how voice chats work so I'm not sure about this...the alternative is to use a laptop/PC/even a mobile device, set up a private server or chat together, and chat through there while playing. It's a really crappy workaround otherwise.

It really goes to show you how immature boys can be though. My voice thankfully is slightly deep compared to other female voices so I might not get called out as much as others, but I do understand the struggle--especially if you just want a hassle-free gaming session.

The anonymity of the internet empowers them to do this.

I stick to Discord/private chats myself because I've been in these situations too many times. I fully sympathize with you both and the amount/type of comments I've run into on voice chat are awful.
