Sometimes I don't realise I should be angry at something. It's after the moment has passed that I start to feel upset about it.

Don’t go in hot. Cool off first. You will react much better when you’re not as upset.

So many people fall in the trap of not speaking up when something somebody does upsets them, then because they didn't say anything the person continues to do it. Why would they stop doing whatever 'thing' is when it clearly doesn't bother you?

It always ends with an enormous 'Straw that broke the camels back' blow up where the other person is absolutely blindsided by the intensity of your response because they never knew it bothered you - how could they?

If something upsets you - speak up there and then, or shortly afterwards in private. If it doesn't bother you enough to speak up then you need to let it go because it's not fair on the other person to keep letting them upset you when they don't even know they're upsetting you until you blow up on them.

I think people sometimes don't think about how much it can suck to be on the other side of this too - interacting with a friend and doing something you thought was completely harmless only to find out after months that all this time you've been really hurting them the whole time and didn't know.

I heard better advice: if it still bothers 24 hours later, say something within 48hrs

"Why are you drinking?"

"I am drinking, see?"

"That's a weird question to ask a stranger."

To call this a need is to foment a mental disease. Thanks for devaluating your entire posting by showing open contradictions

Ginger beer and cranberry juice was an incredible sober October drink for me

even adhd to some extent

Too true, gentle tear downs and rebuilds is how we grow muscle. We need incremental changes to improve our willpower, not sudden shifts that aren't sustainable.

Just keep in mind that those people complaining of you not drinking alcohol are insecure sissies who think they can only be the man/gal/whatever when drinking alcohol, and those remarks become only more silly. They do not realize that they only make an ass of themselves with those remarks.

As with most fatigue disorders, yes.

Was thinking about something similar to this. I agree 100%. It is almost as if conditioning your brain to work harder and persevere thorough adversity will make you more resilient to anything else. Ideas start as thoughts but need work to be materialized. It all boils down to how strong your willpower "muscle" is.

Another solution is "fuck off".

I am on a break from drinking for a while (still am on the break now, been about 6 months) and I dead ass order a water with a lime or lemon at bars, and tip like it's a drink. But it's water so it's technically free.

Yet to have anyone say anything about it and I always joke I'm the most hydrated bitch at the bar

Lol @whoever is seemingly upset that I'm hydrated and tip for water 😅

Second shift is awful if you are a parent. You'll only see your kids on weekends or during the summer months.

Does not apply to most long Covid sufferers, unfortunately.

It has what plants crave!
