Vertigo kicked back in. Dealt with it around new year's but I thought it had gone away. Tilted my head the wrong way at work, instantly turned hot sweaty nauseous and dizzy. Had to go home, everyone was understanding but Fridays are quiet and it's a good day to get caught up.

I read that vertigo comes back within a year in half of people who experience it. I hope this isn't a lifelong thing I will be dealing with, it's a downer.

My boards missing. I feel like the biggest idiot. I got one last place to check but im pretty sure someone just stuck their hand in the window and bounced with it. Hope they ate total shit on my wobble truck front truck and my loose ass nuts in the back. Mad play bothe ends. Fool.

The bearings and wheels are the hardest part to deal with. I got those ceramics in 2016. Fastest shit ive ever had in my life. 58mm ogs are hard to score. I feel like really badly rn. I never loose boards. Ever. Thats like attached to me 24/7.

that sucks so much, happened to me as well once when i went out with my board drinking. hoping for you it might still be at that place you have to check out. i also lost a few setups for other reasons(fell into a river lol). it hurts a lot everytime.

Hey I just wanted to share what helped me when I was dealing with vertigo. It took a few times to finally get rid of it permanently, but it always stopped the spinning each time I used this exercise. I hope this helps.

This place isn't as positive as we all make it out to be. More often than not, this place makes me want to kill myself. I think this will be my last post. Bye.

A new guy moved in to my apartment complex a couple of months ago. He is pretty strange. Seems to be angrily muttering to himself every time I see him. A week ago he came home from work and slammed the gate to the backyard so hard that it broke lock. We have designated parking spaces and his park is ahead of mine. He's been parking within inches of my car every day, pretty much parking me in. Seems pretty aggressive but I don't know why he would do it. I wrote a note asking him to please give me more room when he parks and I left it on his windscreen last night. I hope he just accepts it and doesn't try turn this into a parking war.

muttering to yourself is a sign of having no one to vent to. try speaking with them calmly and rationally.

Co-sign this. My mom was having episodes of vertigo and a few times doing this technique have seemed to solve / really help. It definitely took a few treatments.

I had a vivid dream last night that (despite having never met him and I have no idea what he looks like) feedmeseymour came into my restaurant and I knew it was him. He was a late 30s something pale balding redhead, and I dropped his food off to him.

I am not stoked that I cannot message him and tell him this... Dreams are fucking weird.

More positivity and fun is sorely needed here.  Most topics aren’t serious enough for the level of personal attacks thrown around.

My dad was fighting lungfibrosis for a few years and as you might know that disease is deadly...
Basically it turns your lungs into stone and slowly you'll suffocate or you'll be posioning yourself with CO.

He was walking around with an oxygen tank already but 2 weeks ago his body was done and he was rushed to the ER.
He was already on the list for a lungtransplant but that could take months. The fact of the matter is that it would probbaly be too late in the end ...

Fortunately he was put up higher on the "rush" list and last thursday we were called with the message saying they had found a donor.

He had his transplant that very night but since then he's doing really bad. He can't talk, he's not himself, he loses weight and he can't cough up the flems.

Today they intubated him and they're going to do it that way.

I never had the "best" relationship with my dad, he was always very hard on me even though I was avery goo dkid, had awesome grades and ended up with a masters degree.

He never liked my skating, never liked the music I played etc.

That being said I respected him because he was a 'man's man". He could fix anything: Cars, the roof, plumbing .. .literally anything.

The last few years have been very very rough: My girlfriend"s cancer, not being able to have children anymore, my dad's illness, uncles who both have cancer, not being able to have intercourse with my girl anymore etc.

I'm praying something good will happen soon ... because it's ALOT to carry all of this by myself :(

in love w/ fs shuvs

I'm still close with my ex and I really don't like her current partner. I used to live their new partner years ago and they're a chronic liar, aswell as being really insincere and rude until they want or need something from people. My ex is also really gullible/trusting of people and I can just imagine him telling her all these stories filled with elaborate lies and details of things that never happened. Makes my blood boil.

My partner, or ex, or whatever the fuck she is now called me and woke me up at 4:30 am just vomitting profusely on the phone. Gave me a panic attack out of worry then she kept saying "you're going to hate me in the morning" and said she filed a police report agaisnt me even though I didn't do shit other than look for her last weekend and call and text a lot looking for answers. You can't just ghost your kids father and then try to keep the kids from him without any explanation and expect me to be chill about it and just let it happen. Haven't been able to sleep since the call and it's 7:22 am.

Got court this morning at 9 am for a mischief charge on top of everything. Also have two gross huge stress cyst zits one in corner of my nose and one like a cm away from it by my lip. Plus I have hemorrhoids in addition to all that other lovely stuff. So yeah everything just going awesome as usual. Been a while since I dumped deatails of my pathetic joke of a life in here. At least I've remained sober this week.

Fuck this shit. It's been a miserable last 2 weeks and things just keep getting worse.

Something I’m not stoked on is when it’s near closing at like target or the grocery store and they only have the self check outs open and you only have like 1 thing but everyone ahead of you has a boat load of stuff and not the slightest clue how to use them. It’s like watching paint dry

Flew with a friend back to LA to their new place but she has a broken ankle and has been using an ankle scooter. Upon landing, the scooter showed up missing hardware so the wheels were just dangling only connected by the break cord.  Fucking delta couldn't offer anything to help us get this resolved in the immediate moment. Had to hobble onto a shuttle just to get to the Uber area and my god is the world unforgiving for a fresh broken ankle

Can't wait for the customer service war from here.

Shaved my head and I look like a neanderthal. Don't think my wife is going to want to root me unless I have a hat on.

Sorry to the people who have legitimate reasons to be not stoked in this thread...

I'm really, really sorry to hear this. You have been through a lot.

If you need/want to talk, message me. I've walked this path before. My father had two transplants and was on the list for a third but ended up passing away before he could get the organs he needed. It's incredibly stressful.

I'm glad your dad got a transplant, but sad to hear recovery is not going as intended. I'm thinking of you and wishing you and your family peace. I hope things get better for you!

Been with a company for 9 years. I've had my CyberSecurity degree for 2 years. Been trying to get a new position with them in CyberSecurity. Thought I had it in the bag this time around. Still didn't get the job. So very unstoked right now.

Had a nut come loose on my nicely broken in Indies. I try to fix it with loc tite but it bugs me so I may have to grab a new set. This stinks, I had this happen before on a set of Indies. Is that a common issue?
why come?

Tried to exit earth with the old tried and true car exhaust in the garage method but some self preservation pussy instinct kicked in and I started screaming waking people up and my dad pulled me out and turned off my car. Then we got into a huge fight. I never truly fight back because he's old and been through hell but my ribs are crushed from him restraining my crazy ass while I begged for death or to be comitted. Feeling pretty ashamed again of being a typical suicidal failure.

Sad to hear about all this & what you’re going through. Definitely, a sign that you’re meant to be here & not your time to go. Have you talked to friends, family, & professional help about your your situation?  Especially your friends & family, they are there for you & do not want to see you suffer. Unfortunately have a few friends who took their own lives. Suicide never the answer. Just think how much that would destroy your family forever. Never forget watching a documentary about survivors who jumped off a bridge. Every single one regretted their decision as soon as they went over the railing. Please fight to live & seek help. You’re so young
