Screaming nauseously into the void

So, for the past ten months I've had a Mystery Problem Syndrome (MPS) -- unpredictable hours to months of nausea, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, weird muscle things, a dangerous amount of weight loss, all that fun stuff. The working hypothesis from my GI is that it's an autoimmune thing triggered by a viral infection in my intestines that may or may not be temporary on the scale of a year or two, but we haven't been able to totally confirm that's what it is or whether it's going to be a year-long thing or a many-years thing or a forever thing. It's not always clear what's triggering the big flare-ups, but stress is a contributing factor. This is a problem firstly because I'm a PhD student who has always run a little anxious in the way that some ovens run a little hot and secondly because my body cannot tell the difference between stress and excitement.

In practical terms, this means that I've zombied my way through work for about five total months since January, have barely left my town all year even for just little day trips, paused a lot of my big plans like getting more intensive therapy to deal with my driving anxiety, and have had lots of little "fun" moments like barely being able to present my work at a big conference, running out of my roommate's big opera performance to throw up in a trash can in the hall, and spending about two months being unable to even take consistent notes during D&D and not really being able to enjoy it or any of my other hobbies. This was all no good, obviously, but to really add insult to injury, I might have triggered a full-on flare-up by... (drumroll, please)...

Buying groceries for my Halloween party!

Not even throwing the party. Not even drinking too much or eating forbidden foods at the party.

Buying groceries for the party. At the same grocery store I always buy groceries at.

I got too excited while passively noodling about desserts and decorations and how I wanted to arrange the cheeseboard and whether blackberries would be good in sangria.

And have been unable to keep food down since.

I hope I'm miraculously cured by the party itself because I'm going to have a hard time convincing anyone to eat my food (I'm definitely not contagious anymore! I cleared the actual infection in January!) if I'm this noticeably sick during it.

Also I was looking forward to it a lot and a good dozen of my friends are gonna be there and :(

Apparently, I can't look forward to things anymore! I should just sit in a quiet room and contemplate the grass as it grows, careful to maintain complete emotional neutrality.

i was gonna say "i shouldn't have to go to work when my brain feels like a depression slushie" and then i was like "wait but then i'd basically never ever go to work" and i'm actually doubling down on the first part now bc my god how am i supposed to heal my brain from burning out 5 years ago if i can never get an actual break

[tj-crochets]

hey y'all weird question time again In the US, with insurance, what's a ballpark range for how much you'd expect to pay out of pocket for an MRI?

also hi crafting updates should resume in the next few days I was panicking a little about getting an MRI and that prevented crafting, and then I ended up not even getting it so all the panic was for nothing

Ah, the familiar rage that one always feels towards the husband in a horror novel. I would simply tear this man apart limb by limb.

Best Health Tips for a Happier Life

Maintaining good health is essential for overall well-being and a fulfilling life. Here are some key health tips to incorporate into your daily routine:

Balanced Diet: Focus on a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Aim to limit processed foods, sugar, and salt. Hydration is also crucial, so drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Regular Exercise: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week. Incorporate strength training exercises twice a week to build muscle and improve metabolism.

Adequate Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Good sleep supports immune function, mental health, and overall physical health.

Stress Management: Practice relaxation techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, or deep breathing exercises. Regular physical activity and hobbies also help reduce stress.

Routine Check-Ups: Schedule regular health check-ups and screenings to catch potential issues early. Don't neglect your mental health; consider professional help if needed.

Avoid Harmful Habits: Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking or substance use. These habits can have long-term negative effects on your health.

Stay Connected: Maintain strong social connections. Spending time with family and friends can enhance emotional well-being and reduce feelings of isolation.

Stay Informed: Keep learning about health and wellness. Staying informed can help you make better lifestyle choices.

By incorporating these health tips into your daily life, you can enhance your physical health, boost your mental well-being, and ultimately enjoy a happier, more vibrant life.

im going to do it for real this time (drop out and get a job)

[romancepartner]

ngl every day, part of me wishes i could be someone who buys into their career/job. i wish i could muster the energy to pretend to genuinely care about a product/project/whatever that isn't going to matter (or exist) in ~2 years.

my team was absorbed into a larger team who regularly and unironically refer to hustle culture and "living and breathing our work" :/ is it healthy? not to me. but they seem to really love it.

i know we joke that city employees dont make a lot, but do people think the career firefighters are poor??

because i can guarantee you, career firefighters in big cities clear $100,000+ in a year easily

[debushit]
