Busy with uni

Last year. It's been kinda bland ngl

i hear you. College was like that for me too. I went to community college for like 3 years and just left because i got bored.

 But I'd consider taking a class or two at a community college just for fun one of these days.

Study all the time, inside all the time, 200 miles away from anyone I know. In a class of 200 people I literally know no one and have no one I could text if I needed help or something. I’m making good grades though.

that makes sense and yeah that sounds rough. Hopefully you can find some enjoyment in it.

On my slow self-destructive path, sometimes getting off of it to a healthier state of being, then inevitably steering myself back onto it.

Currently dealing with kidney stones so let's just say I'm not doing the greatest.

you've no doubt heard this from your doctor, but you should really drink nothing but water and lemonade for the rest of your days, on top of reducing your sodium intake (assuming it's that kind of stone). you'll never get another

I only drink water. Literally nothing else. Some of it is flavored but it's clear and has zero sugar or sweeteners. The reason I developed stones is actually from my restricted diet which was very high in oxalate. The stones I've passed already were tested and found to be calcium oxalate stones. Needless to say I've cut out the foods responsible.

i see—so it sounds like your current ones have been lying dormant for a while, then? that was my situation as well, although i've only dealt with two

nothing but water is great, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to add some lemonade in there. i know it seems counterintuitive with the sugar, but the citric acid has been shown to help break stones down and prevent more from forming (plus it's delicious)

I heard it was supposed to hurt in your side terribly but for some reason the majority of my pain has been in my groin/bladder.

It does fucking sting when the stone comes out though. The second stone I passed got stuck for a second and then shot out of my dick, flew passed the toilet, and then smacked against the wall.

Depends on where the stone is stuck. Can be stuck in the kidney or in the ureter. If it’s stuck in the ureter close to the bladder then you’ll feel the pain in your groin more.

Yeah nope
Nope nope nope

How do I look Das, would you smash

Not Verbatim posting about his kidney stones again

Last few months have been varying degrees of hellish. But made it through. The only thing of note lately was a change in mindset. I was pondering anti-natalists and buddhist sects. I derived a toned down set of truths for myself. I find things are much easier going now.

Lost my jobs due to failing health, dole won't consider me since I have a couple hundred bucks in my bank account and no real official doctor paperwork that says "am crippled wreck", no proper place to stay before the winter comes. That's some spicy good meatballs.

I'm doing better.
