Feeling Restricted

Hi, I’m an 18 year old carer and I have been since the age of about 6. I look after my mum who suffers migraines and stomach pains. I can already tell some people will have read migraines and thought “they’re not that bad”. If that’s what you think you’ve never had a migraine, and if you have had one and still thinking that, try having at least one almost everys single day for 12 years.

But my mum isn;t who I came here to type about, I came to type about me. I’m starting to suffer them too, everyday as well, with my preventative medication not working as well anymore. I’m UK-based, so I’m currently taking my A-levels, which piles on the stress. which makes the migraines worse.

All I want is a day to do what I want without being made to feel guilty about it because I’m not caring for my mum or because I’m not revising/homeworking, or without getting a migraine. I feel like I’m becoming my mother and I hate that; it’s my worst nightmare.

Also writing this I have a migraine, and outside, some inconsiderate prats are letting off fireworks for the 8th night in the row, so I’m not great.

Thank you for reading my rant haha.

i love daud’s dlcs, they’re so iconic like. where else are you gonna see a grumpy 40-odd year old man actually accept that actions have consequences and take substantial steps to atone for his crimes while expecting neither forgiveness nor reward?? that’s fantasy at its peak lads

This did not go the way I thought it would. And I think you summarised why I like him more coherently than I ever could?

Me: Anybody that has a "type" is shallow

Also me:

honestly tho, did Daud really think Corvo wouldn’t be able to get out of a pit covered with a few planks?

Perfection

Auntie Jillie, I have a question! Besides Anne Rice and Dracula, what are some books you'd recommend for someone who's just discovered their love of vampires? I got into vampires via Vampire The Masquerade if that helps but I'll take any book recommendations from you given you're something of an expert in the subject.

A very short list of suggestions:

Anno Dracula by Kim Newman

Lord of the Dead by Tom Holland

Sunshine by Robin McKinley

The Delicate Dependency by Michael Talbot

A Taste of Blood Wine by Freda Warrington

‘Salem’s Lot by Stephen King

Ones that are more luridly violent, but still are 90s era classics:

Sunglasses After Dark by Nancy A. Collins

Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite (who is now Billy Martin, but the books are still published under their old name)

Ones where the vampirism is a subtle undercurrent, but there:

Dark Dance (well, all of the Blood Opera trilogy) by Tanith Lee

The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers

Oh, and if you haven’t read them, the Victorian Age V:tM trilogy is pretty damn good, too.

I know that no one's gonna see this but does anyone have any other pictures of John Mulaney from when he was younger?

some things i’ve learned while studying in quarantine

drink more water instead of more coffee.

weekly goals are bullshit. set yourself 3-day goals. you’ll be less laid-back.

don’t just mindlessly stare at words. before you start studying, know your approach to it. have a plan.

summarizing the concept in your own words is the key part of taking notes. don’t just copy things down, convert them into your own way of talking, your own vocabulary, no matter how dumb and unprofessional it sounds.

don’t let the “studyblr aesthetic” fool you. studying doesn’t have to be pretty. summaries and notes can be messy as long as they’re comprehensible. you can always rewrite and reorganize them later. (honestly, you better do. and you better keep them.)

don’t throw away the papers you’ve solved your problems in. staple them to the fucking textbook. you need to see them constantly. cause you’ll need reminders of how far you’ve came, when you’re feeling discouraged.

don’t be an armchair analyst for your issues. if you have an idea then act on it.

remember: the exact point where it becomes difficult, is where your growth begins. take a deep breath, and try to focus on the paragraph in front of you.

get off your high horse and understand that if you’re a zero, you won’t go to 100 in a couple of days. first, you’ll need to reach 30, then from 30 to 60, and then from 60 to 90. nobody is 100 everyday. that happens very rarely.

you need to have fun everyday. you need to have peaceful time every single day. even on exam night. especially on exam night, actually. so make sure you’ve studied enough so you can have some time to yourself.

once you’re on a roll and in need of some challenge to stay on track, start writing down your studying hours. tell yourself you’re not allowed to do less than 80% of what you did yesterday. whatever the hell it was, even just one hour. so if yesterday you really studied for like, say 8 hours, today your goal is to study for at least 6 and a half hours. if you can’t keep up with that, make it 70%, or 60%.

be forgiving of yourself. be kind to yourself. even if you bounced back and lost your streak. start again. as slowly as you did before. take your time. it’s okay, you were there once you can get there again.
