Hi.

I have crippling anxiety and get regular panic attacks. As a guy it took me years to come to a point where I accepted help. I got help. I am glad I did. Meds helped a ton. I know anxiety and panic issues are not depression.

You need to want to get help. Motivation comes gradually from that. If you want someone to talk to, hit me up. I’ll listen. It does get better. I promise you that. It just takes some work.

I recommended if you have a two floor house put a window fan sucking the air out on the top floor. It makes a huge difference.

I had a friend who was in prison. They charge for everything electric in one way or another. For example. You can send them an email. But you have to pay to send it. And you had to pay for them to have a device and it’s batteries for them to read it.

I wasn’t going to do that. So I wrote letters and kept them “interesting.” My personal favorite was aging paper using tea. Using a feather quill pen. Writing in a mixture of home made ink using black walnut husks, coffee, and some acrylic paint as a binder.

He said they go through all the letters. The one I sent confused the shit out of the guards. And, they asked me not to do it again. But he said it was one of his favorite things he got in prison and the whole wing new about it. Nothing illegal. Just strange. We played D&D together.

Nothing raises morale like a letter. He’s out and doing well. He still mentions the letter a fair bit.

I have a very dangerous and lame hobby.

I forage for food. It’s a lot of fun trying new things. But it’s also really dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing.

If you want to do this hobby safely start small. Identify plants in your own yard/park exct. I use an app called plant net, Wikipedia, duckduckgo, Google Earth, foraging sites, to find out where to go. Knowledge of when they grow and what condions they like helps.

Being 100% sure on what you are going to eat is a life and death choice. When in doubt, throw it out.

Feel free to ask me anything if you have questions.

Gosh I feel like this guy called me out.

But then I saw the user name.

Hmmm…

I have one. They are pretty nice for teeth.

Even more fun to use as a squirt gun.

At work.

At my boss.

Guess who lost their job?

My boss.

I miss that guy.

That guy was awesome to work with.

Edge/IE doing what they do make me want to swap to Linux. Edge is a resource hog and also tries to run in the background during startup. I thought I paid for a computer. Why can’t I uninstall this bloatwear easily?

Yeah, I won’t lie. This is better here. More active community. It feels more like the wild west of when reddit was new.

Wait, I had to verify my email. Was there an option to not somewhere?
