Yes

There's something about that panicked raccoon shuffle offset by the quick cut to the disappointment in the players faces that made me lose it. Holy shit my sides.

I have to wake up extra early to make sure I get my goose and chicken coops cleaned before it gets too hot. It's miserable.

Right!? When am not at work I am doing side hustles so I can afford extra things like clothes, food and air conditioning.

Whelp now I have to play Minecraft again!

Oh yeah I know it's cheaper to help the disabled, but y'know 'murica. As for who said that too me, it was a coworker.

Neat!

I don't have a lot of advice on how to identify triggers, it's a crap shoot, but here is what I do about them when I feel overwhelm coming on.

One: Belly breathing. This is beyond a doubt the greatest skill I learned in therapy. Plenty of tutorials online for it and few different versions.

Two: Imagine a dial on your stomach with the numbers 1-10. 10 being meltdown and 1 being completely calm. Picture yourself slowly turning down the dial while taking deep breaths.

Three: I started carrying a small fidget toy in my pocket that I can play with when I feel like I want to rip off my skin and run screaming out of the biulding.

Hope this helps!

I'm sorry you feel stuck right now. I know you don't want to hear this, but if you want to achieve your dream of a family you are going to need another job and therapy. Even if the women of your dreams showed up ready to get pregnant right now, you're not ready. Do you really want to raise kids who know daddy hates himself? Do you really want your family to deal with your emotional spillover? Teaching kids emotional regulation is HARD and damn near impossible if you are struggling yourself.

There is nothing wrong with wanting a family. That is a fine goal and a perfect thing to look forward to. Many poeple are starting families later just bc of the cost of living, so I don't think you will be too old even if it takes you another five years to get there.

There is someone out there for everyone. Maybe she can make all the money and you can be a stay at home dad! But you gotta get up, flip off the fucking world, and get a job and start putting together a social life of poeple who care about you. Stay safe and remember you are valuable and worthy of self love.

RIGHT!? And maybe it's me but whenever I see one of these villages I have to help them. I fell so bad watching them stranded in pits and stuck on cliff sides. Derails whatever I was doing bc I feel so bad for them. Sometimes I've had to destroy and block off entire houses bc they spawned in a cave under the village and the villagers were getting eaten alive trying to get to it.

Trump needs a glass of warm milk and a nap in a jail cell, not to be running for president.

I had a feeling it was fake bc the guy in the background didn't react at all. But who knows, I could be wrong too. Just gave me the same feeling.

For some reason there's a lot of hate for disabled poeple. It's like poeple view them as a ugly drain on society. I had a guy tell me to my face disabled poeple should be dead. Source: husband is disabled.

Have we tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

Same. Gonna sleep and then lay in bed with my Switch and play with some digital Legos!

He is the Senator from PA. He was super liberal up until he had a stroke and then became super conservative. Complete 180. Seems to have knocked out his sense of humor too. Now it seems he's taking risks he would not have taken pre stroke by driving recklessly.

It's fine, the peasants will just suffer and die, there's always more peasants.- ol' Meatball Ron.

If women enjoy sex it's a horrible sin according to these guys. You just have to lay back and think of England.

I wish I could upvote you more than once for this. I appreciate the view from the front lines, as it were. Everywhere I look poeple are being asked to do more with less and for less. I don't know how much longer these systems are going to hold out at the rate we're going.

I think he pretty much nailed how it feels to be autistic, at least for me. Really great skills in some areas and then absolutely terrible skills in others. How exhausting masking is. I think I only ever unmask when I am alone. It scares me to ask where do I end and mask begins? I'm not sure I know anymore.
