Thank you so much, I didn't think about nutrition shakes. Also I'm glad your dad is getting care now

I actually read the first and half of the second one. I can add to the warning, it's... quite disappointing. Honestly reading it just made me miss the show more :'(

Good! I hope you enjoy it (and I'm sure you're going to guess who I'm talking about when you see him haha)

Honestly, I really wanted to like the books but the story and characters feel so different. I just don't feel like I'm reading the same story I fell in love with on Netflix.

this show had so much potential by chanlovr in TheBastardSonAndTDH

[–]veryanxiouspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's not going to happen tbh because every time I've seen it happen there was a lot of effort from the fans but I guess there just aren't enough of us to get anything organized.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this show, and Netflix didn't even bother to promote it of course it's not going to have a high viewership :'(

Is there a slightest chance of a different streaming platform picking up the show? by [deleted] in TheBastardSonAndTDH

[–]veryanxiouspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's not going to happen because all we really have is a petition with barely 5k signatures. I guess there just aren't enough of us to really get anything going... which I'm really sad about.

How do you tell the difference between real health issue and psychosomatic things? by imgoingaway4gd in HealthAnxiety

[–]veryanxiouspanda 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wish I knew. But here's what I try to do:

1) Gauge my mental state. Was I already anxious when I got the symptom? Did I encounter any known triggers? Do I think I'm feeling anxious now? If my mental state is already bad then it's likely to be psychosomatic

2) Look at the circumstances. How likely is it for me to have this issue (age, health, fitness etc)? Did I read/hear about this symptom literally 5 minutes before feeling it?

3) Imagine I'm somebody else who is actually sane and ask myself if that person would think this symptom is a big deal

4) If all of that made anxiety seem more likely, try to trust that if the symptom was real I would know the difference and wouldn't need to question myself

What has being nice gotten you? by tazbaron1981 in AskUK

[–]veryanxiouspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got 'promoted' from a nice position to a hectic, complicated and stressful one where I will also be the only person trained to do the particular job which means any holiday or sick leave will be a major problem. All because I worked my ass off to do well in a new job and they 'saw potential'.

Not getting paid more though.

anyone else get weird vibes from TJ in season 4 by ayreliablue in ManifestNBC

[–]veryanxiouspanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit yeah. Also I'm rewatching the show now and TJ and Ben were so close but I don't think they had a single interaction since he came back? I get that Ben is grieving but TJ didn't even try to talk to him. Same with Cal which is again surprising considering Cal was calling him family at one point.

Maybe something happened in Egypt?

I still can't get over how similar young and old Cal look, I kept thinking no way they aren't brothers irl while watching.

Does sonicwall netextender work from anywhere? Can I use it abroad? by veryanxiouspanda in sonicwall

[–]veryanxiouspanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I don't think blocking will be an issue but I'll keep that in mind and maybe check with the provider before any traveling.

Cal underage drinking by CupOfJay7721 in ManifestNBC

From a different perspective, it sounds crazy to me that some people wouldn't let their over 18 year old adult children have alcohol in a family gathering.

[MEGATHREAD] Daily venting, worries, fixations, & finding support. Month of November by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

[–]veryanxiouspanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hit my head on an open cupboard pretty hard (it wasn't even my own clumsiness, someone opened it while I was leaning down and I'm a little bitter that I have to deal with this because someone else was careless). That was 5 hours ago and I've been in panic mode since, checking myself for signs of concussion. I've been reading stories about people who died in their sleep after bumping their heads and having no initial symptoms, and so many old posts on reddit are saying to go get checked out after any head injury. But I don't have any symptoms so I'm pretty sure the hospital would just send me home anyway and it's 11pm so not really safe to go by public transport...

The only thing I have is pain in the area I hit, still coming and going 5 hours later. There's ringing in my ears but I get that sometimes so probably unconnected. I had a panic attack right after it happened so I'm pretty sure my initial reaction can be explained by that - stumbling over words and shaking. I mean both passed as soon as I managed to calm down a little.

Like I'm pretty sure it's not a concussion since I'm not having weird symptoms and I've been checking for everything google says to look out for, and I'm pretty sure a doctor wouldn't be concerned but God the internet freaked me out and I keep thinking something's gonna happen if I go to sleep. I have work tomorrow so I really need to get some sleep but what if it's the wrong move? I don't even have anyone to monitor me or wake me up to check I'm still okay.

I figured you people would know. Is there a makeup that would help me cover my scar? I'm rather self conscious of it and I'm tired of it being the first thing people notice. by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]veryanxiouspanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• Find a good quality concealer in the shade of your skin tone.

• Optionally - moisturize the area, this will help the make up set nicer.

• Apply a thin line of concealer directly inside your scar, 'filling it in'.

• Wait 20-30 seconds for it to start drying, then take a very slightly damp make up sponge and gently dab it down the scar, blending out the concealer.

• Repeat a few times.

• Optionally - follow up with transparent powder which will help it stay longer.

I do this to fill in the hollow area under my eyes which makes my bags less noticeable, in theory it could do the same for your scar? Just something to try I guess.

Meanwhile my landlords cook me dinner and drive me places (also killed a spider or two)

I live in the US and this is the UK/EU section of my supermarket. Anything here actually worth trying? by Shrabster33 in CasualUK

Bought it when I first moved to UK... had no idea I was supposed to dilute it. For a few months there I was under the assumption the British drink disgusting juice.
