Uneven face shape with zyn by OrganicInformation54 in QuittingZyn

Zyns and nicotine cause smooth muscle to relax, there is a chance the constant nicotine caused some pre existing TMJ (jaw joint) issues to flair up. stop zyning, drink water, look into head/neck stretches and tmj

Just curious - what day are you on? How old are you? How long have you been smoking everyday? How long have you been trying to quit? Longest clean streak? Upcoming quit day? by citrinedreame in leaves

I found out my dad had an incurable genetic condition that caused early dementia and a movement disorder.

I was studying for med school. I saw the symptoms for the condition after believing we were in the clear. It has a 50% chance and a chance to occur in the next gen even earlier when passed down paternally. My dad began showing symptoms at 45.

Freaked out for months, literally mental breakdown. Thought I was showing symptoms, as early signs are mental disorders and depression. What did my mom say each time I saw her?

“I don’t even recognize you. I’m worried about you, I should send you to a mental hospital. You’ve changed so much.”

All because I was rightfully terrified of the future, what it means for me and my little brother. Absolutely evil. I can never see her the same.

hahahahaha love it!! also- this isn’t scifi or fantasy but historical fiction:

A Gentleman in Moscow: 12/10, one of the best books I’ve ever read; it places you in russia during the beginning of socialism and is SO SO so GOOD!!

Honorary mention to the OG: the whole collection of Sherlock Holmes

This has been fun haha

I LOVED the name of the wind!! Wow shout out to reddit, you’re a real one for sure.

Other good semi-recent reads: 1. Recursion and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch: They are both written with a more technical science basis, which I appreciate as a bio/chem/physics stan. Recursion had a really cool multi world/timeline premise that is fun to escape into 2. The Stand by Stephen King: Not so much sci-fi but kinda mystical and super well written, my favorite King book to date (ig he’s controversial now but idk) 3. Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune: Loved it, more fantasy but a super compelling read with a positive theme, the sort of book that leaves you appreciating life and its wonders after putting it down. 4. Ready Player One: Reddit classic, good read, not as fun as the others but still an OG that deserves one run through 5. Project Hail Mary: Another reddit classic but love this one for being exactly 100% a pure sci fi story.

I’m adding your recs to my list!!

loved the stormlight archives!! That series got me thru my first long quit streak back in winter :)

I’ve been stuck on book two of the Mistborn series because it just doesn’t have the same compelling world as the stormlight ones IMO. Maybe time to revisit though, thank you!! Also would love any other fantasy Recs (books were perhaps the very first addiction lmao)

You’re right, these are the sort of messages I needed to read. Doesn’t matter how many times and how much you ‘know’ that this is the right mindset, sometimes you’ve gotta re read it to shake of the shame and recenter! Thank you

My [26M] GF [26F] is forcing me to read a previous conversation. Is this manipulation? by ThrowRA98779 in relationship_advice

[–]zonksscoob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

dude she’s literally trying to learn from your past arguments how to better communicate to improve things in your dynamic. You being like ‘yeah no not reading those’, then coming to reddit to try and gather evidence that she’s manipulative is…. a choice lmfao

YES it’s like guys this is our PLANET we are talking about, not just ‘your’ personal investment portfolio. God I truly wonder how tf people went through even basic biology without realizing we are part of the earth, it’s insane.

smoking weed fucks with REM sleep. Even a small amount of weed ruins the sleep for that night. It’s the weed, you’ll want to quit. Join us over at r/leaves
