...also, I like bad puns

  • Well, if you've already made good experiences with this hospital, I sincerely hope they take care of you again and will help you too. I'm glad your last employer was this generous with healthcare, who knows what would've happened otherwise. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you sweetheart

    I've been working with languages and how it's affected by the things happening around and to you in my studies, what I can tell you on a purely academic note is that the environment that you grew up in and learned to speak in will always color the way you speak. While you say you've gone to school somewhere else, it's entirely possible that your pre-school years left a big impression on your speech center, and so this is naturally how you talk. It's not impossible to unlearn speech patterns/dialects/accents, but it takes training and sometimes, especially when we're not feeling good, old habits break through. (Anecdotal side note: I usually sound pretty well-educated in my native tongue, but when I get agitated or very tired, I tend to slip into a more vulgar kind of dialect that I grew up with. I can control it, mostly, but it takes a lot of effort, and it's eventually how people know which region I come from.)

  • You're welcome sweetie

    I checked them out, it's a wild combination of early 00s goth/punk/emo stuff mixed with metal and some pop-choir-elements (at least the song I first listened to). A wild combination that is fun to listen to!

  • Yes, they are trying to split the vote, but please hide the names of the people on the list, as this is personal information that might lead back to you.

    Edit: Thank you

  • Feel hugged sweetie, that's a horrible feeling

    Is there something you're looking for in particular? Like "wholesome chitchat" or "warm, kind conversation"? Or is it more specific like "I need X to listen so I can get something off my chest"?

  • checks comm after being concerned Aaah dammit

  • I really hope they'll take care of you and don't just shove you off onto another waiting list. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

    As to how hearing your voice made you feel - your voice will always sound deeper to you than it does to others. You're closer to it, and you hear the vibration from inside the body as much as the sound that leaves your mouth. That does not mean you have a high pitched voice, but an echo or a recording of your voice will always sound higher pitched. Don't worry about it, I don't think people think your voice is a high pitched child's voice. As to the accent, have you maybe listened to a podcast or watched a show or something similar that had a lot of people speak with a cockney accent? That might influence your speech patterns. Long story short, there's nothing wrong with having a cockney accent or a higher pitched voice than you thought you had.

  • I had no idea Baroque Dungeon Synth was a thing in music, so I was surprised to listen to your little piece of art! I enjoyed it, so thank you for sharing. I also hope you can find the time (and passion) to continue pursuing this hobby of yours. It was fun listening to something that was completely new to me

  • To me, it always feels like what they're actually saying is "Don't tell the truth to someone, just be judgy when you talk about or to them." I share your anger, it's frustrating how insensitive some people are

  • You are such a smart cookie, I'm impressed!

    Definitely, that's just weird

  • I'm going to stay optimistic and say I believe that you will get better

  • I'm keeping my fingers crossed you don't get any side effects

  • It will keep hurting for quite some time, I'm sorry to say. Feel it, and be sad. There's no use in trying to rush through it. Your mind and your body know when they're done grieving your loss, and they'll let you know when they're "done". Take deep breaths, go for walks and think about it, but also find things to do with other people, pursue hobbies etc. Finding the balance between distractions and working through it is hard, and it takes time to balance it in a way that helps you. For some people it works better when they have more time to think, for others it's better when they distract themselves. As a general tip, try not to go for full distraction or full contemplation, it doesn't help you.

    I'm sorry this sounds so clinical, I hope it helps you still. Take care, comrade, you got this. We're here to listen whenever you need it

  • It's almost impossible to stay optimistic when you look at the state of covid treatment - generally speaking. It's becoming harder and harder to get new vaccination shots where I live, masks are getting more expensive, and even if you manage to get a mask and a shot, people will treat you like you're infectious when you walk into any place with a mask on. It's disturbing how quickly the covid denial swept through all branches of society.

    Please don't give up hope yet, though I know it's hard, I'm sure there's some sort of silver lining at the end of the tunnel

  • Why do people keep yelling at you, don't they know it's a guaranteed explosive end for them?

    I'm sorry you got yelled at, sweetie

  • I love that I'm getting the "Mom said I could" treatment for this comment

    This is really rude, but sadly not atypical. I'm sorry that instead of a thank you, you got insulted. You deserve better, especially since you were being kind to them

  • No, it is not insensitive. Work is stressful and can be very unpleasant, so it's just as legitimate as complaining about never finding work (which is also immensely stressful and unpleasant).

  • Going to the doctor and asking for help is all I can recommend, but I understand this exhaustion. Just wanting to rest and get sleep, which I do hope you'll get soon.

    And no, everyday should at least feel like everyday, if not like a good day. I hope it's nothing serious troubling you and you can get some help soon. Stay strong, love, and I know you'll manage

  • It really is sad. The most I see are warnings about flashing lights before videos and movies, where I'm like "It's nice you're doing this" but it is hardly inclusive and it doesn't even begin to cover the spectrum that is epilepsy.

  • Ahsoka Tano? A Social Democrat

    Sickest burn, and so accurate too
