Strange Words at Night

Dread [trimmed by lisa] I look into the mirror, all I'm seeing is a skeleton I keep losing weight, so they got me taking medicine I can't go a day without relying on these sedatives Therapy and doctors, I feel like a specimen Every fucking night that I've been laying in my bed Doing all I can to fight the certain sense of dread Feeling like this panic that I have will never end And so I fantasize about a gun up to my head And now these pills got me feeling asleep when I'm awake, and yet awake *Even when I sleep I feel pain* Vivid visions in the past creeping into my brain About to break, I just want to feel like I'm sane And I just want to know what I did?! Do I deserve this????? like why I gotta deal with this shit?? man .   And I just wanna know when it happened! [When I lost my mind, and will I ever truly feel happy?] I've been fighting this with everything that I have ...

I know the backstory. I look like my grandma, who left him because he cheated on her, and moved 3,000 miles away.  I don't think she was even 20.  :/ Fuck. I wish I would have thought of the significance of that moment for him at the time rather 29 years and 1 week later.  I was thinking about this because I couldn't remember the last time it felt like a man in my life fully "had this."  Or, if I'd ever experienced it.  My grandpa Ken led me during our grandparent dance at the wedding and it surprised me, and I danced like a fucking princess.

I think that since scientists in the past were primarily men, (who traditionally never had the opportunity to stare into a near-lifeless sink full of cold soapy water) it could be why we don't understand the universe better yet.

Print out the winning lottery numbers every friday and put them in your wallet in case you get sucked into a "back in time" situation.  Don't be a douche to your past self.

After all, as their overview of prior research on the topic revealed, the body weight standards that our media portray for women are considerably thinner than the actual female population, and often even thinner than the criteria for anorexia. 

I'm not mad, I just need a fork.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants and debt is the money of slaves.

The_Strange_Remain 13 points· 3 years ago ·edited 3 years ago Actually you touched upon a massive fallacy that causes people with GAD to enter a negative feedback loop. So many GAD sufferers view their continued existence as a stroke of luck. "I got through the last attack by the skin of my teeth. But THIS time is the real deal. I'm actually dying this time." Nope. Still just GAD and mostly benign physically, despite how truly awful it feels subjectively. See, the thing is, no one is as lucky as the GAD sufferer claims to be. You may get through a serious event once, MAYBE twice. But you're not going to "survive" a serious health event 20, 30, 40 times. And that's precisely the wiring you have to disconnect. You have to drill into yourself that you're fine, just not having a happy time and it will pass. It always does. Your job isn't to stop your anxiety attack. You can't really. Once that adrenaline gets into your bloodstream only metaboli...

ugh.

It’s also an odd thing:  It is assumed that if a medical professional warns of the danger of benzos, this professional will know how to discontinue the drug . The assumption is ubiquitous on the internet.  We should be asking why we should believe that a procedure is either safe or effective.  The preponderance of devastation following the most touted procedures normally would initiate some pointed questioning.  It hasn’t.

As of 2017, Gallup found that 42 percent of American households reported owning guns. With an estimated 118 million households in the United States, per the U.S. Census, that would mean that the country's 393 million guns are distributed among 50 million households. Jun 19, 2018

Interestingly, Philips screws were DESIGNED to strip out because they wanted to avoid stalling the screw gun’s motor and damaging the tool. But in an era where every box of screws comes with a “free” screw gun bit - and any halfway decent screw gun has an adjustable torque slipping clutch - that’s a kinda silly idea. This guy on Quora

Sobremesa While living in Argentina, my family loved to go out to  eat at the local restaurants.  The atmosphere was incredibly different from any restaurant I’ve been to in the United States. Once the meal is over in the United States, the waiter usually will bring you the check, you’ll pay immediately and you’ll leave. In many Spanish cultures, it’s very common to stay at the table for hours after the meal is over and just talk over a cup of coffee. Sobremesa  —  The conversation that takes place at the dinner table after the meal is over. Sauce

I’m always a day behind and a dollar short. Aturdir I have two daughters that are under the age of two. Naturally, my house is always a mess. I’m always a day behind and a dollar short. This is a feeling I’m incredibly familiar with, but there’s no real way to describe it in English. Another time I often felt this way was when I was in college and I had two papers, an exam, a project and twenty pages of reading due the next day. Maybe I wouldn’t feel this so often if I were more organized… We can also use this verb when we hear a piece of news that dumbfounds us or stuns us, leaving us speechless and/or bothered. Aturdir  —  When something overwhelms, bewilders, or stuns you to the point that you’re unable to focus and think straight. Sauce

Duende It’s sometimes argued that this is  the most difficult Spanish word to translate into English . Why? In  Spanish literature , especially  poetry , this word is used very often to describe how a person feels about nature. However, especially in Spain, it can be used to describe an indescribable charm or magic that isn’t limited to nature. You might hear about the  duende  of flamenco singing, for example. Duende  —  The feeling of awe and inspiration had, especially when standing in nature. The overwhelming sense of beauty and magic.
