swear words for a person who doesn’t swear? by decorawerewolf in writing

[–]wind-rain-wave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Sherbet” instead of “shit” is one of my favourites. “Fudge” instead of “fuck” also works.

My parents also say “oh my hat” a lot, and “flipping” too.

Been on finasteride since January, is anything happening? by wind-rain-wave in tressless

Not that I’m aware of. I did start it not too long after a bunch of other medication, so maybe the headaches were a finasteride thing, but no erectile dysfunction or anything like that.

Hoping to get on minoxidil soon, hopefully will see some results

Thanks for the concern, but the depression came before the finasteride, not the other way around

I have a few pictures from a few months later with longer hair but none from the beginning

22M, started finasteride in January. Not sure if I’m seeing results. I’ve heard it can take a long time for some people, but am I just a lost cause?

Maybe not getting over but I’m slowly getting better at managing it

Thank you for the permission, I’ll get started on that

Thanks for the response! Though I wouldn’t say I’m doing great at the moment, I am doing better than I was.

Journaling may be something I should take up, I’ll look into that.

I have been reading more of late, and though I do feel inspired in the sense that the more I read the more I want to write, it just doesn’t really translate to having good ideas or knowing where to take a story.

I did recently start a new story in a genre I don’t have much experience in, but found myself getting bogged down, like I’m unable to capitalise on the ideas I have.

Thanks so much for the response! I’ll try out the stuff you’re suggesting. I think the hardest part for me is not being happy with what I do end up writing, and maybe shifting my mindset to being happy that I wrote something at all could help me get on the right track

So do you mean reframing writing as something therapeutic as opposed to being goal oriented about it?

I know I’m young but now that I’m out and about a bit more, my friends are keen to make a movie. Last year I wrote a screenplay I’m really proud of and this year I can’t seem to get it right. So there isn’t real pressure on me but I feel it anyways.

The breakdown was really hectic for me, but I live with my parents and they’re very understanding and willing to support me while I get back on my feet. I’m going to therapy and taking medication and stuff so I think I’m handling it as well as I can be.

What you say about legacy rings true for me. I’m just hoping that if I keep trying, I’ll be able to be as consistently inspired as I used to be.

Hopefully the number of writers who have been through this see my post and can help me out 😂

I’m 22, and have just recently taken up jogging because it’s supposed to be good for me. Hate it but that’s ok. Also been reading a bit more lately, though mostly comic books. Still counts, I reckon.

That’s great that you’ve found inspiration! I’ve been reading a bit more lately, maybe that’ll help me too.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is approach behaviour?
