I took an ethnomusicology class a couple years ago and have been wondering this for a while. Wax cylinders seem so delicate!

I also wonder if there might be any recent recreation so I can hear better what people may have heard when it was first played back?

I learned maybe a year ago or so that if I took an over the counter painkiller before bed (starting with ibuprofen, then tried acetaminophen) my PEM recovery time would be a fraction of the time. I stumbled upon it by accident. I was already in pain from exertion so took it before bed. The next day I woke up in the afternoon with some cognitive capacity and it shocked me. Usually without any kind of help, PEM will cause 1-2 days of me being mostly nonfunctional. (Not able to stand, think coherently, and going to the bathroom is also difficult to summon consciousness for. I am asleep for most of the day.) After that it's kind of a slow recovery from there.

People who don't need mobility aids actually feel good after walking! They find using a mobility aid to be cumbersome and a barrier for their access! I know because this used to be me.

If you're unsure, stop thinking of your default state of being as walking with 0 mobility aids. If you had a cane/wheelchair/walker/etc, would it help you? If it would, it's worth it.

Also consider: mobility aid lending libraries or rental services to try them out and figure out which one works for you.

Your body can change and that's okay. You are not a moral failure for benefitting from help. You don't even need to need it! If it helps you, that's enough.

r/Effexor•

Feel free to reply without reading the blurb below, I'm just rambling about the backstory of this for me.

So I've been on 300mg since 2014. Without question, it has saved my life. Recently my doctor and I were trying to sort out ADHD (inattentive type) treatment options. I've had really bad experiences with amphetamines (HUGE anxiety and BPD triggers). So we talked about maybe strattera or similar, but my doctor pointed out that it being an SNRI might be a bit much on top of my already high dose of effexor. We ended up determining it was probably safer to go up in effexor since we know my experiences with that and they've been positive. This wasn't done without care or research or a lot o

There's a lot more to this that I'd like to go into and get opinions on from folks here eventually, but I'm having a rough time with mental health and can't find the motivation or the will to explain it all. There's a lot of different particular ways I'm grieving this but I want to know what has helped others in similar situations.

Important: My NP and I have lived together for nearly 10 years. We were never monogamous, but when we were younger, we were both recent SA survivors and this made seeking out other people not something immediately in the cards. My ex/metamour was my NP's best friend before either of our partners. We had a threesome a few times almost a year ago and my ex/metamou

Like middle parts and low rise jeans, maybe. The colour baby blue for some reason. Flip phones. A lot of 90s aesthetics and early 00s stuff I get that vibe from. If I got it as hand-me-downs I also get that vibe from. There's dresses I just associate with teachers I had in elementary school.

Like if I watch a movie that has teenagers and is set in 2004, I still associate the aesthetics with people older than me who I would look up to, even if I'm 27.

I wonder if the 20 year fashion cycle is people who can now afford the aesthetic they wanted as a kid without shame. (But maybe not because it's teenagers who seem to be heading the y2k revival.)
