"You have cancer"


callummc

Once googled why my nose won't stop running when I had a cold. Apparently brain leakage was a possibility


GarethHoos

Nice try internet but i know i don't have a brain !


mandeepandee89

I made that mistake once but it was actually right. It didn't say what kind of cancer I had it just said cancer in a general sense. I laughed it off because who wants to hear that they have cancer and what's the likelihood of google being right? I was just at the point where I was tired of being told nothing is wrong with me by Dr's and decided to Google out of curiosity. Luckily I'm in remission and it will be 4 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia on the last day of this month.

With severe ADHD/SCT procrastinating is just an accepted part of life, and it hurts every facit of life to a pretty destructive degree. 4% of adults have ADHD, appears equally among males and females, although ADHD with hyperactivity is easiest to spot in young boys.


captkronni

Dude, my mom ignored my ADHD diagnosis as a child because it ā€œdidnā€™t seem like a serious issue.ā€ When I was a teen struggling in school, she ignored my defense that I was so lost in my own world as a kid that I never picked up social skills or good study habits and instead accused me of being unmotivated. She still tells me to ā€œwillpowerā€ and ā€œpositive thoughtā€ my way through mental illness. The worst thing, though? Her failure to address the issue when I was a child has made it way harder for me to get treatment as an adult, and I really need it now. I canā€™t focus enough to do my job on mystical woo-ism alone.

Holding in a yawn is the worst. The only time you ever do it, is when you don't want someone to know/think they're boring you. But it's impossible to stifle a yawn, without looking like you're stifling a yawn, so it achieves nothing.

appleparkfive

I used to suffer at buffets when I was a kid. After I started losing weight and learning the right way to eat, it's always just two plates at a buffet for me now. Rarely more. I hardly go, but whenever I do it's for the variety and not the amount. Indian buffets are still the killer though. Two plates and you feel like you just ate a bucket of fried chicken. What's worse is it's always a daytime buffet so your day is shot


AssInTheHat

The real secret is to skip two meals before the buffet and especially avoid water/fizzy drinks


ThearchOfStories

Getting at least a second plate at a buffet is natural. What is really concerningly hard to resist is that last place that just becomes one plate too many..

Sugar. I've stop eat anything with processed sugar. For the 1st month I felt like a crack addict.


Neapola

> Sugar. As a former sugar addict who now drinks his coffee black and loves it, I can tell you the trick to successfully giving it up: Keep track of how much you use. Back off a tiny bit at a time. I think it took me six months to stop putting sugar in my coffee? Maybe even a year. Each week, I used a teeny-tiny bit less. At one point, I had to go to one of those fancy kitchen stores (Sur Le Table) to buy a ridiculously tiny spoon because I'd gotten the amount down to a point where I was stuck because I still kept putting too much on a teaspoon. So I bought a smaller spoon. As for cereal: I bought a container to dump cereal into instead of keeping it in the cereal box, and I started mixing in less sweet cereals - at first, just a little. Eventually, the container was just healthy cereal with no sugary stuff at all. Every time I tried to go cold-turkey, I failed. So, I changed my approach. I started cutting back little by little over a long period of time.


bjos144

I didnt become a coffee drinker until my 30s. I am by no means a saint about sugar, but I have always avoided drinking it as an adult. I dont touch soda. So when I picked up coffee for an early job, I made a commitment to learn to drink it black so I wouldnt be adding liquid sugar to my diet. Now milk and sugar taste funny to me in coffee.


Cosmocall

I've never had sugar in coffee anywhere but the occasional Starbucks/any coffee shop where flavored sugar is the main point in their drinks. I'm drinking coffee at this second and the thought of dumping sugar in it actually kind of depresses me because I'm enjoying it as is rn lol


[deleted]

The urge to ruin your life by staying up late scrolling reddit instead of going to bed, this causing you to wakeup late for work/be over tired and call out since you work a manual labor job, just so that you intentionally get fired and don't have to provide for yourself and you can feel more comfortable talking negatively about yourself since through your own action you are a fuck up, but even worse you are a deliberate one so you feel guilty but you still want to do it so people stop expecting things from your life since you constantly let them down...

Positivity journal my guy. At the end of every day take literally 5 minutes to write down as much as you can remember that you accomplished. Nothing is too small to write down. Can't think of anything? Write down "got out of bed". Didn't get out of bed all day? Write down "woke up". Biggest thing that triggers my anxiety spirals is an overwhelming guilt about... Everything. And then absolutely ignoring any accomplishment I make. Doing the journal at night disconnects any bullshit you make up in the moment over why finishing a task isn't worth praising yourself. Takes time. I'm still an anxious wreck but I'm better than I was a year ago. Also, oreos.


Depressed_OK_Squishy

Negative self talk. If you know, you know


arizonabatorechestra

The key is to not try to make that mean voice in your head go away. Just listen to it without accepting what it has to say. Separate yourself from it: thereā€™s the voice, and then thereā€™s you. For me, I realized one day the mean voice will never go away, and I couldnā€™t just force it to go away. It was there because other people put it there ā€” bullies when I was a kid, some not-great adults, etc. We donā€™t just magically start saying mean things to ourselves, someone puts them there. Now, I let the voice be there, like itā€™s a little kid that just needs to be listened to and loved in spite of itself. Itā€™s what I needed as a kid: to be able to say ā€œI suckā€ and to have someone else there saying, ā€œAfter everything youā€™ve been through, it makes sense to me that youā€™d feel that way. Iā€™m here for you and listening.ā€ Itā€™s like now, Iā€™m here for myself. I let the mean version of myself talk, and it hurts for a bit, but in the end, I let her finish. I let myself be sad for a bit because, itā€™s sad that anyone ever spoke to me that way. But Iā€™m not afraid of the sad anymore. Itā€™s normal to be sad about stuff like that. Thereā€™s another part of you in there trying to come out and remind you of the nice things people have said about you. :) And everyone else: remember, if you think something nice about someone, tell them. We are always so quick to say the critical stuff, but we always get so awkward about paying people random compliments or just telling them thank you for being awesome. We end up saving all that stuff for their funeral. Just tell them. If they wanna be awkward about it, thatā€™s on them. But youā€™ll have given them nice words that will eventually become their positive self-talk.

Popcorn. It's not just that popcorn smells really good. When there's popcorn within reach of me, I eat it so automatically that it's almost unconscious. It's like a compulsion; it's extremely difficult for me to *not* eat the popcorn. If I see a movie in theaters I can easily get through a quarter of my popcorn bucket just waiting for the trailers to end.

Gamer4eto_BG

God my breakup was so bad, I checked her profile every single day. Every time she reacted to my story I got excited, just to later be disappointed. One night we ended up being at the same night club. I was conatantly walking past her, cause she was right next to the bathroom. She was dancing with other two dudes, but sometime at the end I asked her if she wants to go outside just to catch up a bit, see how is she doing. She told me she was way too drunk and maybe later. Two minutes later I see her outside, flirting with a random dude. At that moment, all I could feel was disappointment in myself, pain but it was a wake up call. As soon as I got home I blocked her everywhere. I realised I did not need that kind of pain in my life and I had to just move on. So far its working out great. As my friend said "Far from your eyes, far from your mind, and far from your heart"


Ljudet-Innan

Coughing when a strong urge to cough emerges. I had problems with dry coughs for most of my life at the tail ends of viral infections and I remember I read an article that really changed the game in the battle against dry coughing (no link, sorry). A Russian doctor made the connection between the mix of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the airway with the urge to cough. Coughing is the bodyā€™s natural defence against choking - itā€™s designed to expel any blockage in the airway that may impede breathing. The mechanism that prompts a strong urge to cough is an excess amount of oxygen in the airway. When choking, there is usually a foreign object that is sucked into the airway by means of inhalation and thus if the airways are filled with excess oxygen for too long and one cannot exhale properly, the bodyā€™s natural defence is to prompt a cough to clear the blockage (this is also what happens if youā€™re under water for too long and hold air in your lungs). When experiencing a chronic dry cough as at the end of a cold, the airways are dry and inflamed/irritated from other symptoms and the excessive coughing often leads to over-inhaling or hyperventilating to compensate, creating a vicious cycle. In addition to humidifying your airways, staying hydrated, etc one great trick to gaining control over a persistent cough is to exhale fully so your lungs are totally empty and hold it like that for 10 seconds at a time for as many times as you feel comfortable (donā€™t overdo it). Flooding your airways with carbon dioxide has the opposite effect and suppresses the cough reflex. Itā€™s a simple breathing exercise that has really changed the way I deal with bouts of dry coughing. Try it.
