I didn't give consent to be used in a comic. 😒

Just got the update and now it works great! 😁

Everything this guy said.

I've struggled with anxiety my whole life. But my anxiety is about things that I can control. I don't worry about climate change, or wars or pandemics or whatever, because it's pointless worrying about things that you can do literally nothing about.

I got a bit concerned when I misread your username as being part of your comment.

I'm going to show this post to anyone who asks me what Lemmy is like.

Didn't take long for the transphobic accusation to come out.

Not everything is about trans people.

Except when it's women, obviously.

Naturally, the trans lobby get involved whenever something to do with protecting women comes up...

Right. But do you realise how high they would have to be to nationalise multiple trillion dollar companies?

[–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Lol. What a ludicrous idea.

How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?

Loving his hairdo.

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.
