    News Worldwide impact of the novel coronavirus (covid-19)

    Especially since this is a university setting. They most definitely don’t want any drama and even less drama that might become public :cool:

    When do (bad) dreams become nightmares?

    Then I don't think I've had a nightmare...like...ever? I still remember a dream that I consider a nightmare from when I was a kid. Vividly so. Even after 25 years it makes me uneasy. But I also remember that even at the time it didn't...derail me... it upset me. Yes. It scared me (heck, I was a...

    When do (bad) dreams become nightmares?

    I've been pondering about this for a while. I remember during my initial assessment with T, one of the question was whether I have nightmares. And I don't actually really know how to answer this question. Particularly after having spent so much time here on the forum and reading other's...

    Fighting the fog of dissociation in a pandemic when the world is already surreal

    No real suggestions, just saying, you're not alone. My survival mode I was in initially is wearing off. My usual self-care mechanisms are unavailable. I don't know if I'm dissociated or depersonalized or what, but I've been in a "meh, whatever" state for a few weeks, now. I don't care about a...

    News Worldwide impact of the novel coronavirus (covid-19)

    This is the same situation in other countries, too. Retail in many European countries and also here in Hawaii is opening up, but dog parks remain closed. Playgrounds remain closed. The f*cking beach remains closed. And I can see the public support slipping, even turning into open opposition, day...

    How Did You Sleep Last Night?

    Full moon makes for more active cats, I think. Soooo....woke up a lot. Also managed to numb my arm from laying on it and found myself waking up to me shaking arm and hand without even really realizing it .... <---- THOSE ARE SO f*ckING WEIRD. So all in all, same old shitty night time sleep...

    Not breathing

    Second what whiteraven wrote. I'm susceptible to hypnagogic hallucinations, which happen during/between the phase of falling asleep and the first REM cycle (while sleep paralysis usually happens during much later stages of sleep/night, when waking up from REM as opposed to going into REM) as...

    News Worldwide impact of the novel coronavirus (covid-19)

    There was some concern about whether infected and "healed" people can get re-infected, after folks, especially in South Korea and China, apparently have tested positive a second time. New information now states these are, in fact, not re-infactions. Positive Tests For Recovered Virus Patients...

    News Worldwide impact of the novel coronavirus (covid-19)

    My landlady just approached me with some of the conspiracy theories (the ones where this is all just a big ploy for the various global governments to control us and our lives). It's easy enough to just ignore it when it's random people on social media. But how do you navigate it if it's actual...

    News Worldwide impact of the novel coronavirus (covid-19)

    There's a vaccine against the feline coronavirus, but I'm not completely sure how effective it is. Also...take my next comment with caution, this is just an opinion and I haven't researched it in depth, but until now most human coronavirues really didn't cause more than a "common cold", there...

    Did you choose a specific breed of dog?

    Both our multi-cat as well as my parents’ multi-(longhaired-shedding-)dog households are very happy with our Roombas and bagless (dyson) vacuums and have been for many years ??‍♀️ Aka: Probably just personal preference. But then again, I don’t expect to live in a hospital-grade-sterile home...

    Am I the only one around here who just genuinely isn’t bothered by pet hair? :oops: Also: Roomba! :laugh:

    Vegan Safe Space

    Hey guys, sorry for gate crashing, I'm not actually vegan, I'm not even vegetarian (though I do eat very little meat). Also please apologize if it's been mentioned before, I didn't have the headspace to go through all 8 pages :oops: But everytime I see this thread pop up in "What's new", and...

    Alternate ways of showing my manhood

    Not trying to be challenging, because I know this is really a hard and triggery topic for you, just putting out a thought here. You cite your upbringing as a reason for your view (and expectation) on what it means to be a man. I'm curious - do you have similar very narrowly defined gender...

    Pet health (or: can't without them, can't with them)

    Thank you for your replies! I think there are two things that contribute to this in particular for me specifically. One is that I have a deep cognitive distortion that I can't let down my guard ever or something will happen. As in, as soon as I relax just for a moment, the universe "punishes"...

    Pet health (or: can't without them, can't with them)

    Sooo, lately I've been struggling more with this again - the last few weeks have been particularly rough. I know many here have pets, so maybe something helpful will come out of this. I'v repeatedly said I need animals around me. I need them to breath - sounds melodramatic, but is true. They...

    Questions about dealing with milk (pandemic-related)

    Pretty standard in many European countries, actually, and they taste completely like normal milk. They ARE normal milk. I never knew differently until moving to the US, we always had shelf-stable milk

    Annoying people

    I'm a loud talker and I didn't know until it was pointed out to me. And I don't notice when I revert back to it. I'm not hard of hearing, but I have family members who are, so I suspect some reason there. I get more annoyed by other people's behaviors when I'm personally keyed up for one...

    I can only assume, but it sounds that @LuckiLee was layed off = went onto unemployment. Those get an additional $600/week.
