For short term relief/emotional regulation my counsellor taught me TIPP Temperature - cold water/ice/object to lower heart rate Intense exercise - a few mins of jumping jacks/running on the spot/shaking it off Paced breathing/box breathing Paired muscle relaxation - tense and relax different muscle groups

When I’m anxious I tend to get overactive so the ones that help me most are splashing cold water on my face and the intense exercise.

Anxiety during bedtime or if I have time during the day, ASMR or a well paced peaceful podcast also do the trick.

I think I will try the slower speed music, that sounds interesting.

I’m having such a visceral reaction to this picture I can’t even really explain. Why would you do this

Actually though the thought of eating a salad with ranch makes me ill. Like, ranch is a dip it is not for drowning my delicious greens in it. Creamy dressings in general (except for Ceasar) are just not the thing.

They would love to but we’re all equally fucked in this economy tbh. We’re all just trying to make more money so we can help each other out when someone needs it.

I have a coworker that if you try to call her and she doesn’t want to talk she straight up changes her status to away or busy and then just ignores your call. She is an a-hole but not for this reason, lol.

I have the opposite problem where I know there are better alternative routes but google refuses to acknowledge them.

I swapped garlic instead of ginger in my chai by accident. Never thought I’d be mad at garlic.

Yeah I have terrible allergies and went to a new doctor, he couldn’t do much but I mentioned I use an over the counter nasal spray for $40. He’s like oh, let me write you a prescription and now I get a prescription one for free in Canada. Too bad my allergy pills aren’t covered though but those are still an affordable price at least.

I don’t have nuts so I don’t really have a say in this but you could never get me to put Nair in the more sensitive parts of my genitalia. Ball skin is so thin and sensitive, I can’t imagine that burn.

Omg lol I didn’t even know I could purchase stuff with the google home. I wouldn’t anyway because that’s silly to me but that’s funny if you’re right about it being their intent (I don’t doubt that you are). I got my google home for free or very cheap with my music streaming account.

This is just a Denny’s ad and I know this because I worked there for more than 10 years and we used these exact pictures for probably that entire time.

Quesadilla makers are fucking dope that’s the only thing I truly disagree with

You joke but bulk stores exist where you can literally just take your own container and avoid the crappy leaky bags altogether.

It really bothers me because I want to buy actual good quality stuff but I have no idea how to find it because I don’t trust any reviews or anything on search engines at all really.

I like to call anyone older than me old because it’s funny and I perpetually feel like a child.

When I was little I thought my parents were old, now they are in their 60s and I think they are young, and I am the age they were and still feel like a child. Otherwise I’m not sure I really had a concept of age as a tie to mortality when I was younger.

But winRAR is free anyway

In the UK they actually refer to Indians and South Asian people as Asians regularly, and Asians as East Asian (I think?).

Had like a full 10 minute conversation with someone where he was like “yeah you know that Asian kid you hang out with” and I thought he was losing it because there were no (east) Asian kids in our very small university.

I think my cousins maybe made me try this as a joke when I was younger but hear me out…

Toast. With mayo. Sprinkled with chocolate powder.

I don’t eat it anymore because I’m a grown up or whatever but I still get cravings for it sometimes.

MMM I used to put choco krispies (think chocolate rice krispies) into my quesadillas. That shit was fire.

Y’all are just making sopa de tortilla now
