Yo wtf
I am not looking forward to the day that medical implants and devices become subscription-based.
Missed too many monthly payments? Your pacemaker gets shut off until your account is no longer delinquent.
I was not going to subject him too either of those treatments.
This is it for me. Chemo sucks so bad that there's are humans who decide to pass naturally instead of going through hell to get a bit of extra time–maybe. Putting a pet through chemo without their consent and not being able to explain to them why they feel so bad, that's way worse than making the decision for them to be humanely euthanized.
I'm sorry about your doggy, and about your dad
"Your uncle's late again, last minute Christmas shopping at the airport, a dozen ringer tees he bought at Eddie Rickenbacker's bar–ladies extra extra large" is such a mood
OP, please heed this. Make an appointment with a professional ASAP. If you're not able to do so or not able to get an appointment soon, please talk to someone you trust and ask them to keep an eye out/check in on you to make sure these feelings of depersonalization don't spiral into something bigger and/or unsafe. If needed, please visit a psychiatric ER.
Some mental disorders that present this way are theorized to be degenerative, and prolonged/multiple episodes of psychosis make it harder to treat and manage. Ideally getting them under control before a first full psychotic episode can even come to head.
I wish I could ever have as good of a go-to karaoke song as that skinny white dude who got overcome by the spirit of Shaggy
Say It Ain't So by Weezer is a good one to get the entire bar singing along. Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind is good to get people try to sing along and then they realize they don't actually know the words and wait did he just say crystal meth??
I was taking a little me time at a cabin. Pretty remote, a 45 minute drive down a dicey mountain road to the beginning of civilization (a convenience store and a church). I was there solo to unwind.
One night I made a nice little fire down a hill from the cabin, maybe 40 yards away. Around 10, I put the fire out and started back up to the cabin. The porch lights were on and throwing some nice ambient light, so I decided not to turn my headlamp on and harsh the vibe with blue light. I couldn't easily see the ground where I was starting from, but the path was well-maintained gravel and I was familiar the terrain.
After ten feet, I froze. I'm a person who struggles to trust my instincts sometimes. But my lizard brain was picking up on something not consciously perceptible, and I have never before or since had every part of my screaming that something was wrong.
I turned on my headlamp and saw, about twenty feet up the path, a fucking rattlesnake. Then I immediately started second-guessing myself. Do we even have rattlesnakes in this part of the country? And it didn't even rattle, isn't that their whole thing? Also it's night, aren't they active in the daytime with the sun? I stared without moving an inch, barely even breathing, just silently gaslighting myself. After a few minutes it continued on its way and finished slithering across the path back into the woods.
I ran up the rest of the hill and into the house. Promptly grabbed my phone and typed "rattlesnake [regional area I was in]" in the search bar. So, it turns out there are rattlesnakes there, and yeah their pattern is exactly the same as the one I saw. Something primal in my body knew, and I'm really glad I listened to it.
That I'm my age. I'm in my late thirties, but sometimes I still feel like I'm nineteen.
Shocking with cold water when it's still hot
