Question inspired by a Charley horse that hit in the middle of the night.
Heartbreak
Maybe one day I’ll get there too, but not today
You will I promise :) I’ve had my heart broken badly 3 times in my life so far.
The first one I needed antidepressants to kick me out of the slump, the other two were hard as well but with time and distractions and new hobbies and interests, the pain fades. Just be patient and talk to yourself like you are your own little brother/sister. Treat yourself like another person and take care of that person. Give them the love they need to get through the heartbreak.
I came here to say the same thing. When someone close to you dies it’s painful, but that’s still not heartbreaking. When someone you love chooses not to be with you anymore, it’s on another level. I hope to never experience heartbreak again.
College exams. Life after graduation has its own stresses but nothing was more stressful to me than having 6-7 exams coming up and having to spend so much time and effort preparing for stuff I don’t care about that much.
At some point it got so bad I’d wake up a few times at night drenched in sweat a day before exams. Yeesh. I guess it was partly my fault for taking it too seriously but I couldn’t switch that off.
School in general. It was so much work. Homework is torture, at least now once my day is finished I don’t have to worry about it until the next morning.
I have exams coming in five days. As the exams get near, i really get stressed. I often dont even eat anything and get less sleep.
You should really try to eat. You’ll be less stressed and perform better.
Thanks. Yes I am trying to eat.

A scooter hitting me in the shin
Getting shocked.
I used to help my father-in-law on the farm and he had an electric fencer for the barnyard that was way too powerful for the length of fence it was hooked up to. I knew that; what i didn’t know was that it was grounding out on a piece of flashing on the barn. It put me on my ass.
He also has this electric fencing that’s made out of rope with small metal strands woven into it. That shit hurts too but in a different way. Maybe because there are more points of contact.
I got shocked doing some wiring last week and it was nothing compared to the electric fence.
My father told a story about stopping to pee at the side of the road. His buddy peed on the electric fence and “almost blew his balls off”.
Didn’t Mythbusters debunk this one?
I think you’re joking but feel free to verify it yourself.
Interesting. I have a mild (probably healthy) phobia of getting shocked when I’m doing wiring around the house. And I was “acquainted” with electric fences on farms as a kid. I’ve been imagining house wiring would feel similar.
I was shocked from doing wiring once, it was uncomfortable but not painful. I had just wired up a replacement light switch for a family friend and I had my hand in there moving it to center it for the faceplate when they turned the breaker back on.
My mom has a similar experience, light switch and all, and it was much more violent.
The feeling of 120V is not great, but not terrible. You’ve got to remember that the electric fence is made for pain, though.
One time I took a solo 1.5 hour flight and on the descent I suddenly felt a tingling on the top of my head and down my face, which quickly turned into a feeling like someone chopped an axe into the top of my head. I felt an excruciating pain on the top center of my head , behind my eyes and down my face and was trying not to react in front of all the other passengers. The pain was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. By the time we landed and I got off the plane the sharpness of the pain subsided but I had a bad headache for 2 days after. I thought I might die honestly and it spun me into such a bad anxiety attack. I did some searching and only found one post ever of something similar happening to someone else and it was from sinus pressure. I wasn’t sick at all or stuffed up so it was surprising. So now when I fly I pop Sudafed and blow my nose frequently and basically have a panic attack on the descent because of my fear of it happening again.
I had something similar checked out and I had my inner nose twisted and full of the equivalent to pimples. Perhaps that caused your pain? Idk… I’m not a doctor.
That sounds terrifying!

Heroin withdrawals
Over 13 years here, coming on 12 years without opioid withdrawals at all (methadone/suboxone withdrawal can be even worse and is certainly not a catch all solution but definitely worked for me). Great job Kava keep it up.
Thank you sir and congrats to you as well. I’ve been clean from opiates since Dec 26th 2016. I still smoke weed occasionally or use kava so I’m “California sober” but it works for me. Opiates are dangerous substances.
Ouch.
Kidney Stones! Seemed every couple of years I went through it. Well, now that I’m typing this I realize it’s been a couple of years so maybe I’m due soon.
Kidney stones for me too! Mine are calcium oxalate based, so I take a supplement of magnesium citrate to help me break them down, but also drinking more water regularly. I should also lay off the salt, but that’s a hard one because it’s everywhere.
Might wanna subscribe to HydroHomies. Or lay off the salt, like I should be doing.
…you first, though.
That I haven’t had? The two major ones are a sinus infection (1994), which in theory I could have again, and appendicitis (2007), which I will never have again.
As a life long skateboarder and snowboarder, I’ve had all kinds of brutal injuries, still do on occasion, but no pain has compared to those two.
Enduring other peoples mental emotional bullshit especially to keep a job. Feeling like I have no choices but to kill myself with work to survive. Mental maturity, having goals to work for, and learning to stand up for myself/not tolerate retarded whacky monkey bullshit from fellow human beings has done wonders for me. My young adult years were miserable, it got much better.
Whenever I used to go out anywhere or do anything social, I’d always be constantly, quietly hoping that someone would come along and fall into my life. That I’d pass by someone that looked like they could relate to me, or that would try to talk to me, or be attracted to me. Anyone that would change my life for the better. It was lonely as fuck to constantly want something unrealistic every single day that never happened, for years and years.
Then I met my future wife, and I nearly forgot that pain ever existed.
Going to meet my father (going to hurt booth of us, i know that he “reguarly” drives the 10 hours from north to south and i exploit him for my move to south)
It will hurt me because he is difficult and him because i will give him no contact informationdeleted by creator
