  • I’m sorry about your back/hip pain :( I’m just a medical student so take this advice with a grain of salt:

    Can you describe the pain more? Does it radiate anywhere? Is it worse with more physical activity? Or any particular time of day? Do pain meds help? Also general info about your background - med history, family history, physical activity level, history of present illness (what started it, what you’ve tried etc)

    Generally the recommended treatment for low back pain is conservative (pain meds, physical therapy) for about 6 months. So for myself I usually do NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen), gentle stretching (google lower back/hip stretching), and water.





  • I have adhd and have a bad habit of starting lots of books and only finishing a few. Currently reading for fun:

    • recursion by Blake crouch,
    • escape room by Megan goldin,
    • and the 2000s made me gay by grace perry.

    I also keep some educational books around that I’ll pick up and read maybe once a week:

    • liberator psychiatry (an academic book with a few authors can’t remember rn)
    • the burning by Tim Madigan
    • there’s another essay book I’m reading about asylums but I can’t remember the name nor author. It’s meh so far


  • Not exactly a fav but I’ll always remember when Omegle was brand new. It was before they had video and it wasn’t full of bots. I was probably around 11 or 12 and I had a convo with someone I vehemently disagreed with some or other topic about. We were friendly tho and continued talking on AIM (friendly, never more) and at some point family came up and he explained how things that my father had done to me was abuse and showed me rainn.org. It was such a huge revelation ofc and led to me telling my family and getting my dad prosecuted. That’s why I like discord sometimes I get that old feeling of genuine convo.
