  1. Ahhh, the Vertigo mention. Welcome to my world, where sometimes, the world decides to tilt, repeatedly, like a particularly nasty spin cycle, but the spin cycle is my head. It happens when little crystals get dislodged in your inner ear. You can look up an at-home remedy that works, but man Vertigo is a nightmare 🙂

  2. Mate. Your accents are terrible and ruin the videos. Your voice is beautiful when left as is. Seriously, atleast try not doing a single accent and changing your voice for a week then see how many more viewers or subscribers you gain. I'm telling you the problem, imagine how many others just decide to click away and never come back.

  3. I agree with the getting older, I thought it was exaggerated the stages of feelings and emotions plus thoughts that u go through at different stages of ur life. I remember precisely walking hand in hand with my mum as a preteen, watching a teenager shout to her mum on the streets. I promised I will never be like that and will always be good, and then comes the most emotionally turbulent stage of my life, teenage-hood full of fury, emotions, negativity, consciousness and plenty of fights. Then onto my twenties, matured but then ensues the existential twenties. Legit everyday thinking about my life, the stage it’s at, the future it could be, what I’m going to do. It’s a different form of hell. But Welp, they say it’ll get better when ur older and I’m believing that now

  4. I was under anesthesia once for my wisdom teeth when I was 17. I popped up after surgery, seemingly wide awake (but I wasnt) and tried to get up (but my legs didnt work) and kept trying to get up until my dad and the doctor basically carried me to the car.

    I remember being in the car but not being carried.

    The only thing I do remember is thinking "oh boy! The surgery is over! I get to drink my coffee now!"

    This was also the same day twilight the movie came out. Which I did go see. Being stoned on painkillers did not make it better.

  5. ADHD. I never realised how much easier things are for people without it until I tried meds. Holy fuck. When people say you just gotta put your mind to it, they aren't kidding. When medicated, I can see that something needs to be done, decide that I'll do that now, and do it. That was a new experience to me!! I don't end up crying on the sofa, overwhelmed with figuring out the steps to this very simple thing, stuck in my own head for hours at a time. I don't end up with fifteen half finished tasks and an overwhelming feeling of shame and confusion after an afternoon of very busily doing nothing because I get distracted halfway through anything I attempt. I thought I was just weak, that everyone else just sucks it up and deals with it. Nope! They never even get there. They just do the thing without having to deal with the upsetty spaghetti. In just burnt the hell out from trying to keep up in an unfair race.
    If you suspect ADHD, get tested and/or get your kids tested, or even if you manage life okay but notice that things seem a lot harder by a great margin than people make it out to be. Treatment can make the difference between living life like you're trying to run upstream in chest-deep water, and living it walking the path with everyone else.

  6. Getting scalded. I agree with that one. My mother had just brewed coffee for her birthday. We were in the tent and she stepped down from the camping wagon. The stool between wagon and tent tipped over, and coffee went flying towards my face. I remember turning my head away and then this extreme pain on my throat. Next thing I remember is being on my knees in the grass outside while people were pouring cold water over me. I have no memory of getting out of the tent but I was told that I screamed, jumped up, and ran outside where I just collapsed in the grass.

  7. Not being able to run from the Rottie might have actually saved them. You should never run from dogs, because if they Weren't planning to attack you, you might have just activated their prey drive and now they're going to anyways.

  8. Yes insomnia. Had it very bad in my teens and 20's and couldn't fall asleep before 1am until about 40. All of the advice ppl give you is not for insomnia, as its not always about anxiety and an ability to relax we just aren't tired, or then if we are tired we just lie there for hours. Its not fun, but now I can fall asleep in under 20 minutes.

  9. Everyone who thinks insomnia isnt a big deal never experienced auditory and visual hallucinations as well as the stress, Paranoia and idk what else that sets in when you have been awake for over 72h straight, i have overdosed unintentionally on multiple drugs (and sometime the doctor overdoesed me) but no trip was as wild, terrifying and uncomfortable as i was when i passed 80h without sleep while sitting in a class room watching a surgery video.
    Voices, thints shifting sizes/moving around, the world feeling like its spinning, your head in constant pain, your body feeling so weak a breeze could blow you over, radom colors flashing, shaking the whole time, someone watching you, chasing you, you want to run and cant move at the same time

    Also Anastasia was quite funny for me, idk if its because i lucid dream most nights that i actually get to sleep or because i fell asleep multiple times after surgery but i had a nice dream and felt like i had the best sleep of my life (i literally have had insomnia since i was born, my parents had to bring me to the doctor a lot as a baby and had to go to exteme length to get me to sleep, i still cant sleep for more than two hours unless i am either really sick, didn't sleep for over 48h or almost OD'ed on drugs)
    But based on how insistend the nurses were on me staying awake, i guess what i remember as beinf the first out of three times that they woke me up, wasnt actually the first time, i just got kinda upset at them and told them 'a few more minutes'

  10. Those fucking rottweilers… you never know if they want to maul you or just want some pets… a friend had an experience like that long ago. Their leash broke and ran on them… and all they wanted was to play… the owner was livid. lmao

  11. Easier said than done but, Never run from a predator. This announces, "I am prey." Freezing when an animal is running at you is often better than running away. The same cannot be said about people or objects.
    Specifically if a dog is chasing you, try a play bow. In a quick motion, spread your legs a little wider, lower your shoulders, lean froward and huff. If the dog spreads his front legs, lowers his chest/head and huffs back, you are now friends and can play. If the dog stops and gets ridged, back away slowly. You are not a threat, but you are not welcome here. If the dog keeps coming at you, try to protect your face and throat.

  12. I would never think someone was overreacting about kidney stones. When I was young and going to school several times my mom would be home (she worked mornings) and she would look like she'd fought some wild animal. Before I could ask she'd say your father passed a stone last night. I went into their room and he just looked dead. I've never had one but I know they ain't no walk in the park.😢

  13. early In the morning i would go to school hours before it opened(it was dark out), so slept in the car after a few months of this i started consistently getting sleep paralysis(mastering calming down not trying to move and focusing on breathing more sometimes not being able to open my eyes) then a lucid dream in a lucid dream that happened once and never again more mornings with sleep paralysis then it stopping when I started going 1hr later(still dark out) I actually miss it it was fun besides that 1sec panic(I still had my normal senses and vision if my eyes could open)

  14. For me It was back surgery. I went in thinking it would be the painful boy was I wrong for all the guys out there. It’s like being kick in the balls 24 seven for one or two months straight and that’s what the fuck ton painkillers

  15. At one point, I thought people who claimed SBMM was really bad in the new CoDs were crazy. I wasn't one of those "get gud" people either. I know how it feels to get your ass kicked by good players and knew SBMM was a thing, but didn't think it was that cranked… until I played MW 2019, MWII, and MWIII.

    I've never seen such a rigged games before. Hell, I never knew multiplayer could be so rigged in a CoD game, let alone a game in general. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
