I'm 24, in uni, and trying my best to do what I can for myself.
A few months ago, I stopped working at a job (the best job I've ever had) because they started assigning me morning shifts. I have a huge problem with sleeping, and I'm constantly feeling like I'm low on energy.
Every day, I wake up feeling extremely miserable and angry. I get so angry that I punch things, I yell to myself, and I cry in frustration of how awful everything feels to me. I just can't shake it out of my head.
In these moments after I wake up, everything on my skin feels oily and disgusting, even if I got a shower the night before, and I don't dare to touch my hair because of how dirty it can feel. Aside from feeling dirty, I also feel extremely drowsy and nauseous. I don't eat in the mornings because, if I even drink a tiny bit of water, it makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. Because of this, I rarely eat or drink until the afternoon when I feel a little bit better, or until the hunger outweighs this awful feeling.
Because I've had to get up for uni, I've been taking melatonin supplements to experiment (I will often toss and turn endlessly without them, but sometimes they don't do anything for me). Some days I feel kind of alright, but most of the time I still feel awful. I've experimented around with different hours of sleep to see if I was sleeping too much or too little, but this has come up pretty inconclusive.
At 24, the recommended hours is around 7-9... but 7 hours, 8 hours, and 9 hours of sleep all make me feel the same way - awful, drowsy, nauseous, dirty, and exhausted. The only way I feel "well rested" is if I go back to sleep for a few extra hours and wake up then. This makes it at around 11 AM, regardless of what time I fell asleep at.
I don't eat at night, I don't drink any caffeine or do any drugs. I never have dreams, and I often wake up in the middle of the night (sometimes because of sleep paralysis). Even in my youth, I slept a ton at my grandparent's house. I would go on their couch and just sleep, which raised concerns with my family that I had trouble sleeping, but nothing ever came of that.
​
It's taking a major toll on me. I don't have any energy throughout the day. My mornings consist of me being a mindless robot that wanders around.
I tried going to the gym with my friend, and we went a fair few times, but even going at 9 AM was too much for me. After our workouts, I would feel violently sick in the car ride back.
It's also having an impact on my memory, I feel. Throughout the day, I have major trouble retaining information and remembering things... I'm having trouble keeping up with my hobbies (drawing and guitar) and I often let them go unpracticed for weeks on end.
Even if I have free time, I just don't touch those things. I feel too tired by the time I come home, even though I was tired all day already.
​
I'm also not as outgoing as I used to be. When I was working that job I mentioned earlier, I was so up front with people and kind-hearted. Nowadays, I feel secluded, invisible. When I eat my lunch at uni, I look around to see if anyone is staring at me. I feel like I'm constantly on the spot, like eating alone is weird. I never feel comfortable in public anymore. I always feel like I'm on a stage.
I don't talk to people or do what I want to do. I always daydream of a person I'd rather be. There was a woman who was struggling to set up a stroller with her baby in one of her arms, and I just glanced the other way. I feel like if it were truly up to me, I would have helped, but I also feel like she would have thought I was weird. I feel like everyone thinks I am weird, like everything I say, and how I say it, is so weird. At uni, I just feel like a loser.
​
If it were up to me, I'd like to get 8 hours of sleep and wake up feeling well rested, get to school with a good attitude, remember what was taught to me, talk to people in public, do the things I want to do, and be proud of myself. I'd come home to practice my hobbies daily, work out consistently, and fall asleep for the next day. But... I am just unable to do that.
Right now, I'm always feeling tired (not eating breakfast as a result), I'm never working out, my hobbies just keep getting further and further out of reach, I forget things that happened even if they just happened hours earlier, and I act like I am invisible in public, but at the same time... like I am on a stage. My life is just a blur passing me by, and I dread every day that I have to leave my room. It's damn near forced me to make some stupid decisions.
​
These things; my sleep, my hobbies, my sensitivity (emotional and physical, with disgusted feelings), my memory... they're all things that make me regret so much. They're things that make me constantly daydream about a better life.
I don't know where to even begin.

To be fair, I wasn’t fasting like I was supposed too for the blood test (dr knew, & didn’t care).. glucose was 106. I get very sick feeling if I don’t eat every few hours, so I could not last 12 hours without eating.
The symptoms I deal with are absolutely horrible in the mornings, & it’s everyday. it feels like I’m dying until I eat. Not even exaggerating. These symptoms randomly happen throughout the day as well. Some worse than others.
I’ve been dealing with a list of symptoms for years and it has recently got worse. Iron/thyroid came back normal. I’m at lost. My dad and grandfather are both type 2..

• nausea
• internally jitters/shaky
• fatigue
• weakness
• start getting sweaty/ & cold clammy hands
• frequent urinating
• always thirsty
• light headed/ feeling faint especially when walking around doing things
• occasional black outs
• heat resistance. feel horrible in the heat
• brain fog/forgetfulness
• horrible headaches daily
• fast heart rate/palpitations

Normally when I eat I feel a tad better. It has caused me to gain weight actually. I’m at lost & thinking of purchasing an at home glucose meter… is it worth it?
Not looking for medical advise.. just desperate at this point. I am so tired of feeling miserable.

I have worked hard over the last year practising my craft of dice making, investing a fair amount of money into materials and equipment. All with the goal in mind of selling on Etsy. I finally got to a skill level where I felt confident to take that step.
I opened my Etsy store yesterday and then today, less than 24 hours later...perminantly banned with only vague (you broke terms of service) reasons given.
I have no idea what they think I did. I made sure I did everything by the book. I printed my own masters and made my own molds. I only had 2 items for sale on my store. 2 sets of dice that I made from my own molds. The font was a free use creative common font. I'm at a complete loss here.
I have appealed the suspension, but I've already had a reply saying my account will be banned from selling AND buying with no further explanation given. I've replied again, basically on my knees begging for a bit of help, but I'm not confident.
What do I do now?

It's day 1. This is my day 1 about a thousand and one times. It's been nearly 24 hours since I have watched porn and it hasn't been easy already. But, I am more serious than I have ever been about quitting porn, no matter the cost.
I have been trying to quit porn for over a decade now. I have been watching porn weekly, sometimes daily. I am 30 years old and I've been trying to quit porn since I was 19 years old. It's almost unreal to even type that out. I feel like an old man with a struggle that I really shouldn't be struggling with. But, the time is now that I must stop. I feel gross, guilty, and ashamed. I never thought I would still be struggling with this at this age. This is my life. I cannot waste it to an addiction. It can ruin everything for me.
I am getting married this summer. I am in an incredible relationship with an incredible woman. Porn is not, and cannot, get in the way of this. She is so excited to marry me and I am so excited to marry her. Therefore, it is simply time this addiction comes to an end. No matter the cost.
Further, I am a practicing attorney! How on earth can something like this be in my life? I'm a professional. I feel as though this should be beneath me. I dont mean that in an arrogant way, but it is completely incongruent with my life and life style. I am literally beginning to become more and more detached from myself. It's like a sense of depersonalization or alienation from myself. Almost like I am living in a dream.
I got engaged last year AND became an attorney. Yet, I am not happy whatsoever. I feel little to no pleasure or excitement. How can this possibly be? The only way I can answer that is to point directly at the ONLY thing I desperately want out of my life: pornography.
Another addiction I am kicking is nicotine. I vape. Before vaping I was chewing tobacco. I also quit last night. So, I am going cold turkey with nicotine and porn. I already don't feel very good. But, I am going to keep going.
Anyways, I am going to post periodic journal updates about what I am going through on here. I am going to use this as a journal outlet and if anyone else is about to embark on this same journey, they can see my post and get a sense of what it's like. I am going to be brutally honest about what I am going to go through. I will post just about every day for the next 90 days. Based on my research, and Anna Lembke's research/conclusions, after about 30-90 days and I should begin to experience my addiction symptoms subside. I hope you would give my account a follow and let's go on this journey together. Drop a comment and let me know a little bit about your experience. Thanks for reading! Let's get out of this.

Hello,
Typically I used my fingerprint to unlock my phone but when I went to unlock my phone today, there wasn’t an option to unlock with fingerprint. I then put in my correct pin and it instantly said that I had to wait 30 seconds after 1 failed attempt. I repeated the correct password and now I’m locked out for 24 hours. I don’t have my phone linked up with the Find My system so I can’t unlock it with the remote feature. I really don’t want to do a hard reset and lose all of my data. This seems to be a software/hardware problem. Can anyone help?

Hardest bosses for me:
If a boss is full of red attack, I generally found them not a challenge, since most red attack is just so easy to parry. When a boss has loads of normal attacks, you know the checkpoint is coming. Like the following two.
Aoye is the first wall, I almost gave up and wanted to summon helper. Then got him, what a frustrating 1 hour experiences. This mf Covid cow does not have much red attacks, full of 360 degree normal attacks which are hard to parry, and heavy penalties to greedy player like me, met this cow later in games, hardly a challenge, maybe they toned it down.
Zhang Liao. What a completely bloody BS boss, that has wide range attacks and fucking big range lightning to prevent the player to get closer. How I suppose to get close and face palm this shit? And he does not really spam red moves at all, which really tests your ability, but no, if I can not attack you, I summon, beat this motherfucker with summon, first boss I need to summon, or I want to. I do not fight BS boss, waste of time.

If a boss just hits and run, without giving you much room for attacking you know the designer is testing your parrying ability, so try to parry all so you can get to the execution phase quickly.
Annoying boss:
Liu Bei:
What a shitty design, did someone light a fire on his ass or something? He just flew around like a B52, constantly changing my camera, I don’t know that petrol cost nothing in China so he rarely lands. I am glad I had 2 NPC summoning, beat him within 2 tries. What a completely joke. If I can not beat him in NG+, I will just summon. I don’t waste time on shitty design boss.
Embodiment of Demonic Qi:
I thought giant boss is always a joke since they are easy to hit, but this one was different, maybe dude with wings has the illusion that they are aircraft rather than a living being, so this shit just constantly force me to run half a map for just landing few attacks, and most of the time, even jump attacks can not land anything on it(excuse me?) this is just annoying AF. I don’t know how I did it, but beat him in 1 go with 2 NPC summoning and 1 alive in the end. What a joke design.

2 bosses I enjoyed:
Lu Bu and Demonic Lu Bu
Every Chinese knows that LuBu has very low IQ but his strength is just skyrocket. I expected a hard fight. It is hard since he has so many different kinds of red attack and variations when low HP, bit not that hard since he basically just spam red attack, which means highly patternized and you just need to be focus. The demonic form is a bit harder, since more normal attacks and has variations. But oh man, did I enjoy the fight, I feel like this boss in both forms, especially the human form, is a pure parry heavy like game that I was expecting whole time from this game. And the volleyball from the demonic form is just hilarious and fun.
And most of his moves does not have the BS magic attack, pure melee heavy fight. Love it! Suits the name of LvBu!
Every time I lost to him I know that I was doing something wrong rather than he has some BS move or jumping around like a fucking money.
I enjoyed the fight so much such that I tried not to get hit by drinking 0 potion before his HP was red.
Enjoy every single second of fighting LuBu, pure parry fight, epic design!

Final thought as a Nioh fan
My Nioh 2 is level 688, and when I back to Nioh yesterday, I found Nioh lost its fun to me, why on earth should I block the BS move, just because I can’t parry everything? Hate it! 😂
But TBH, the enemies in WoLong just jumped too much to change my camera too frequently such that I can hardly enjoy part of the game. It makes this game feel so dizzy to me, I need some serious game, like 1-1 parry heavy fight, just Nioh with heavy parry and I will be in heaven, will probably try Seikero later hope it is more serious.

I've been with T Mobile for 18 years, and I have never had any issues with them till this year. It all began with a promotion. Traded in an S10 for $400 credit. For an S22 Ultra 512GB. Paid $100+ right off the bat. Then they told me my monthly bill would go up from $130 to $180 for the next 24 months. No problem.
8 months later, I decided to pay the phone off early since I had enough cash on hand. They told me I could do that, so anyway. I paid it off with $700+ in cash. Expecting bill will goes back down to $130 again. Nope, it stays the same for the next two billing cycles. I called customer support, basically an hour plus call . I don't want to go into too much detail. Basically, they said that's correct.
A few days later, I called them again because it didn't make any sense to me math wise. If bills amount to the same, what's the point of paying them off. Anyway, this time customer support admitted that number don't make sense. So what she did was to credited me $50 for 2 months. Then my bill still goes back to $180 a month. What's going on? I mean mathematical wise, it makes no sense at all. So basically my $700+ cash downed to the drain and they told me my bill will goes back to $130 after 24 months.. what?!

Asking $65 shipped. I ship USPS small sized priority box with tracking a number.
I have a set of the Daniel Defense Rock and Lock Iron sights. Selling as a pair which is still cheaper than the price of one new. Basically unused. Mounted on my AR but never taken to the range.
Will ship within 24 hours of funds being received. PayPal G&S.

Title: are developer accounts officially not working anymore?
Body:
i;m trying to create a bot that automically tweets breaking news and scrapes sources such as NBC news, cnn, fox, abc etc every hour for breaking headlines. finished up all my code and i just get a blank outcome & no test tweet. then i remembered this - https://techcrunch.com/2023/02/01/twitter-to-end-free-access-to-its-api/
​
is this why it's not working or did i code incorrectly? thanks!

I registered for Peterson's test prep about a week ago. After I first enrolled, I got to a screen where a button says "access your prep". I clicked on that, and that brought me to a screen that said "this account does not have an active subscription". Clicking on the subscribe button on that page brought me back to the page with the "access your prep" button, and then it just looped from there. Tried the simple fixes like refreshing the page, trying a new browser, restarting my computer, those sorts of things.
​
Since my account was brand new, I thought maybe it needed time to activate or whatever and decided to give it an hour and come back. Same loop. Tried it the next morning, same thing. I was going to give it a full 24 hours before cancelling my trial, and apparently there are some lessons I will never learn because I forgot all about it until I got the notification that the transaction went through.
​
I'm still in the same loop. I'm waiting on tech support to email be back, but in the meantime, just curious if this has happened to anyone else or if there's anything else I should try to fix it?

I’m making my first batch ever with a kit I purchased online. The instructions said to add yeast nutrients day 2. I also realized didn’t add yeast nutrients day 1. So I added it all after 24 hours and it started over flowing. Unfortunately I lost some in the process. Do I need to start over or can I continue and just deal with a lower yield? Any advice appreciated.

I had watched DnD a few years ago for the first and only time by Asmongold (a wow streamer) playing as a barbarian with his friend 2 friends & being DMed by Riku. Watching this was really cool and i enjoyed the combat a lot, wanted to play but thought it was too nerdy or too weird to try never role played anything in my life and just stuck to what I know, video games. Recently I had some DnD video pop up in my recommended and it got me searching for content again. Reddit recommended for a first campaign to watch from youtubers named "Dungeon dudes" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJc4bcmkk8E&t=5281s&ab_channel=DungeonDudes (this campaign to be specific) I've only watched a few hours of it but I've been binging their other videos of them just talking about dnd, things such as; "Top 10 underrated wizard spells" "5 things DMs wish players knew" etc...
This got me to create a character sheet with one of my friends who used to play dnd a little bit back in the day, He would be DM and I'd be the player, no one else was in the party. I'm not sure the name of the campaign he picked but i'm basically a low level 'noob" elf mage(trying to be necromancer) that's training under some god tier highly respected elf mage. Last night we did the first session and I basically just had to be tested after undergoing extreme training with said elf mage by going into a wooden basement or cellar to defeat some giant rats. The wooden part really stuck out since most of my offensive abilities are related to fire so i ended up just burning the basement to a crisp really but i did enjoy the combat. Didn't really get heavy into the roleplaying, i said a lot of basic things such as "i'll try and use firebolt on xyz" and not really getting into it, maybe that'll come with time. I did a lot of (in my eyes) basic stuff. One cool thing I did was create a mimic with an illusion spell and have it block the only exit of the burning basement to hopefully trap the rats in the flames, unfortunately me being overly creative instead of just choosing something more simple such as an illusion wall or an illusion flame would've been more appropriate but it was still cool regardless.
After this session I managed to get level 2, picked some new spells and I think we're going to play again in a few days. I really like the combat of the game but I feel very weird getting into role play, especially when its not related to combat. Combat interests me the most but I have so little time in the game that my opinion is subject to change. I think it'd also be a lot easier to "get into it" if I had more than just myself in my party, none of our other friends would be willing to try it though since they hold the same opinion i did years ago that it may be "too nerdy or odd" to try themselves as opposed to playing a video game. I guess the only thing I really enjoy about it is i'm not just limited to the characters and abilities the game provides me and the limitations im allowed to do. In dnd I can pretty much do whatever I want and build any character I want it's limitless. Thought I'd share this here since i'm sure it's nice hearing about new people trying the hobby out.

As the title says, on the 8th of March I was hit by a 60 year old woman who overdosed on heroin in Cincinnati, Ohio. The lady and passenger both did not have seat belts on, and we later found out her son overdosed as well. They were both severely injured by the impact.
Little background for you guys, my mother was driving me in our Chevy Tahoe along a 4 lane undivided highway at 50 mph (speed limit 45) when a Chevy Trax with 2 passengers, both overdosed on heroin, came at us at 55 mph and hit us dead on. My mother broke her wrist and I now have major whiplash and neck issues. We both had seat belts on when the front airbags deployed, but the other driver did not. The other car's front and side airbags went off, and the driver and passenger were rushed to a level one trauma center. We later found out that this lady broke her femur and hip from no seat belt, and the other passenger had swallowed his silver grills. Our car was totaled, and so was theirs. Our insurance provided a rental up until last Friday, 24 March, but now we are paying $70 per day for a rental car. We just returned the car today. While our attorney was trying to communicate with the other driver's insurance, we found out that her insurance was nullified because she was driving for instacart.
She has a prior OVI conviction, and she also got out of prison in 2019. This is her 2nd OVI, and she was also charged with failure to control.
We are not sure what to do. I was told to come here. We don't know if this was an aggravated OVI because all 4 involved were injured, and we also don't have exact test results, we just know they are over the limit. We have over $2,200 in medical bills, and a totaled car. We got money for the car through our UIM/UM coverage through insurance, but we are going to try to put this lady to justice. This is not her first rodeo in the court system, and if we were driving our smaller car, this lady could have very well killed us.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I hope you're doing well.
So I have a tenancy agreement which lasts 12 months and ends July 1st this year. However, throughout the entirety of the tenancy the noise from the upstairs flat has been unbearable with stomping + running around at all hours of the night etc. and had been waking us up almost every night since last year, speaking with the upstairs flat didn't help.
We finally had enough and decided to move out and we were looking to use a clause in the contract which allows us to pay 1 months rent + find replacement tenants, and we would be free. I spoke with the agency and they told me it was a quick process, I found nice tenants that were desperate for a place until July and would put up with the noise, they were also willing to pay all of the remaning rent upfront (4 months were left at this point, now 3 months are left on the contract), so I figured there's nothing that could go wrong and we got accepted by a new landlord.
We have now moved into the new property but a few days before we expected the replacement tenants to be accepted and move in, we got an email stating the landlord has rejected them with no further reasoning. I've requested several times for clarification on why they were rejected and at most they told me it's related to their payslips, I do understand that they have minimum wage jobs but have enough savings to pay all of our remaining rent (they also just paid 12 months rent upfront for a different property!). I kept requesting clarification since it seems like the landlord will just keep declining replacement tenants no matter who we find. But no response.
I have conducted MANY viewings for the property and the noise is an issue for all of them, so I simply cannot find replacement tenants (neither can the agency find tenants to take over from July, and it's a student area so most of the properties are gone just after Christmas). Therefore, contractually I am supposed to pay the rent for two properties up until July but this is becoming quite the financial struggle.
Now, here's what I have found out so far: The building was built within the last 2 years which means that it should follow Resistance to sound: Approved Document E regarding the sound/impact sound proofing of newer built properties. I have spoken with the flats below us, and tested out the sound proofing/sound impact proofing and indeed their flats are properly sound proofed, whereas ours has essentially none whatsoever. Because of this, every other flat has stayed for more than their initial tenancy, and we have recently found out that the tenants prior to us also moved out due to the lack of sound proofing. Furthermore, for the first 1 year it was rented out to tenants before us, it had no valid EPC, only after my questioning did they get one before my tenancy started (but after I signed the contract). We were also not provided with any electrical installation certificate. I have requested evidence of compliance of both approved document E and the EIC, but have had no response for over 2 weeks.
Now it's coming up to April and we're expected to once again pay rent, with effectively no communication from either the landlord or the agency.
What would you guys do in this situation? Legally I should just pay the remaining rent and consider it an expensive lesson, but morally I don't want to be screwed over by dodgy landlords/letting agents. If I were to just refuse to pay the remaning rent (totalling £3150), what are the chances they would come after me legally given the facts above? Alternatively, if they don't have compliance with approved document E or an EIC, and I did pay the remaning rent, do you think I could go to small claims court and win it back?
Also note that I have left the flat in excellent condition, very clean with no damage.
Thanks for any advice!

I feel like I am never truly awake. Recently, I've had to get up at times as early as 7AM, which is a big hurdle for me, someone who has slept in consistently since high school ended (for years I've had no schedule). In high school, I missed many many days because I was so drowsy, I could not possibly make it into school. The days I did make it in, I had to hold one of my eyelids open with my fingers.
Nowadays, it's getting to be so intrusive that it is destroying my daily life.
Every day, I wake up feeling extremely miserable and angry. I punch things, I yell, I cry. Everything on my skin feels oily and disgusting, even if I got a shower the night before, and I don't dare to touch my hair because of how dirty it can feel.
Aside from feeling dirty, I also feel extremely drowsy and nauseous. I don't eat in the mornings because, if I even drink a tiny bit of water, it makes me feel like I'm going to throw up. Because of this, I rarely eat or drink until the afternoon when I feel a little bit better, or until the hunger outweighs this awful feeling.
Because I've had to get up for uni, I've been taking melatonin supplements to experiment (I will often toss and turn endlessly without them, but sometimes they don't do anything for me). Some days I feel kind of alright, but most of the time I still feel awful. I've experimented around with different hours of sleep to see if I was sleeping too much or too little, but this has come up pretty inconclusive.
At 24, the recommended hours is around 7-9... but 7 hours, 8 hours, and 9 hours of sleep all make me feel the same way - awful, drowsy, nauseous, dirty, and exhausted.
The only way I feel "well rested" is if I go back to sleep for a few extra hours and wake up then. This makes it at around 11 AM, regardless of what time I fell asleep at.
I don't eat at night, I don't drink any caffeine or do any drugs. I never have dreams, and I often wake up in the middle of the night (sometimes because of sleep paralysis).
Even in my youth, I slept a ton at my grandparent's house. I would go on their couch and just sleep, which raised concerns with my family that I had trouble sleeping, but nothing ever came of that.
It's frustrating. I feel like I should be able to wake up on 8 hours of sleep feeling relatively fresh, well-rested, and ready for the day... but this has gotten so bad, it has caused me to consider quitting uni altogether because it is such a huge hurdle, and it has taken a huge psychological toll on my daily mood.
