Ni som kan allt! Jag vill starta eget som konsult, inom UX och facilitering. Sjukt svår bransch jag vet, men det är det jag är bra på.

Ni som driver eget, vad är era bästa tips för uppstart? Jag hoppas på att kunna få starta eget-bidrag för att överleva första tiden.

Vad lärde ni er i början? Vad insåg ni att ni hade kunnat göra bättre?

Hjälp en kalv med vingliga ben att komma igång härborta!

Hi everyone, it's been ages since I was active - but I wanted to post about something positive, to maybe give some hope.

I have had ED for 30 years almost, not so severe that I have had inpatient treatment, but still debilitating in that low everyday way that they are.

I had a relapse into very ANA thinking about two years ago while trying to get into gym and fitness more, while being so so in love with my best friend (and realising I might be gay and not just bi! And she is mostly straight! Horrorfest all of it).

But in the years since, I've grown to realise that I don't want to shrink anymore. I started new hobbies (aerial arts) and found new friends, and it kind of crept up on me th

I'm looking for a comic and a character from it, I THINK. The character was named Soma, and she had cyberpunk wings. I used the art as basis for some school work in 2001.

I remember her being sad but cool, cyberpunk and dystopian. The images was found on MySpace and deviantart but I can't find them again - I've been searching for years.

I'm hoping to find the original artists, and an image/drawing of Soma, and maybe some of it's origin story if it's even possible.

I'm in Sweden, but I don't think the artist was from here. the person who introduced it was a cyberpunk nerd (I was too, back then!).

Hej, dagens tråkigaste fråga, men för dig som fått akassa nyss från unionen - hur lång var din handläggningstid? De själva svarar så klart bara "vi handlägger våra ärenden i den ordning de kommer in blahblahblah".

I've been an on and off gym goer for 15 years, and I've always had bad doms, but since I started creatine and collagen and upped my protein, I have so much more energy and don't get sore barely at all. I still workout until I'm half dead mind you.

But I'm wondering - if my muscles feel fine, and I feel rested - how much rest do I need? Most weeks I have the weekends off the gym, only doing light cardio, but I get bored and want to do more.

Am I setting myself up for failure if I lessen my rest?

I do three lower body, two upper, plus about 6-8 hours of cardio per week as it is now.

To no one's surprise, it's sucks to try to date women while bi, woman/nb and in a (descriptive) primary relationship with a cis man.

I finally got one date. ONE. And she started trying to tell me I should break up my marriage, and asking why I was with men at all.

She then turned full wanker and started bullying me, so clearly there were more things wrong here than just biphobia but anyway.

ONE date. In a year! And she turns out to be bottom of the barrell...

Back to the apps, I guess. Please commiserate with me in these trying times 😭🙏.

Hi! I quit using hormonal birth control this winter and my nose is now super oily and I get pimples around the nose, chin and sometimes even neck, that I didnt get before that. It's like my skin turned 14 years old again (and all my hormones, to be frank, it's been a wild ride!).

Is there anything I can do? I drink plenty water, eat fairly healthy, work out a tonne -which has helped my skin SO MUCH - and I use a good moisturizer twice a day, plus clean my skin with a cleansing milk.

I do have some rocasea, but it's gotten better with the work outs, and is mostly noticeable in that I get break outs from too much sun + SPF.

Please have a magic trick for me, or I will resort to my teenage

Jag har i dagsläget en Opel Mokka e, som jag leasar. Den är fin och trevlig men har får låg räckvidd och är alldeles för trång i baksätet och förvaring.

Funderar på att byta till en Kia Niro EV, och har tänkt skaffa en begagnad för max 260 000 kr.

Men finns det någon annan med räckvidd kring 45 mil, och nice förarsäte (gillar att Kian har riktigt sjysst säte) och rymligt utrymme, som jag borde kolla på?

Hjälp mig göra ett vettigt val!

I tagged along to my husband's psychologist the other week to help out with clarifying some things and sort of showcasing our dynamic for him to be able to help better.

Since then: cptsd nightmares. I've dreamed about being shunned, going to prison, being lost, being sent out, being kicked out of school, being SAd, you name it.

It triggered so much in me, and made it so obvious that I need therapy and help myself but it's not accessible atm - we can only afford one person in therapy at the time - and we both need the same psychologist because he is the only local specialist in what we both need help with...

I'm trying to ground myself and focus on just letting this flow through me but

I have written a few times about how I have been relapsing BUT I wanted to also share with you all that it's gotten a lot better now. I don't really know how but that voice of self hate is now much more muted, I eat better and don't feel as many feelings about it, and I kind of like my face?

It's just been a month but I'm quietly hopeful that I can hold on to this, and maybe give myself a chance to be ok.

I turned 40 last year and something changed in me. It's like that insecurity seeped out? It just took a while. But I don't even want to hold on to it any more.

Ok I've been spiralling but slowly, for about half a year. Now it turns out my contraceptives and my aura migraines put me at risk for stroke so I need to change contraceptives and start taking betablockers ... That makes you gain weight. I'm trying to hold on to what little I got here but please please help me see sense here. I'm so scared of taking a medication that will let my ED go all in. I'm scared I'll start restricting in pure panic - I've had a month with good eating and was starting to feel a bit more safe. I'm not in a space where I can talk to my doctor yet, even though I know I should. I don't know where to turn. I just need some empathy to get past this and land in understand

When your best friend and crush says "and you lost all that without disordered behaviours! Go you!" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🎡🎡🎡🎡

Congrats to me for being a damn liar.

I wrote this summer about relapsing:

Sorry about formatting, am on mobile.

It's been months now and I've ended up in a weird space where I'm now getting "benefits" from being thinner, and comments and positive reinforcement from people around me. I have orthorexic patterns so I both barely eat and work out a lot.

I have no will to eat, no motivation to change anything, and all I care about is when to do the next workout.

I've ended up in a very dysfunctional place, where I just don't care if I eat or not. And I can't eat when people are watching. The scenario from the last post has repeated several times with my friend askin

Vent: About a month ago I realised i was relapsing and I'm in the smack middle of it now. I just came home from a weekend trip abroad. Was there with a friend I have a crush on and I really did try to eat and be normal but I couldn't. I ended up being so obviously disordered and anxious I'm dying of shame now. She had to PUSH me to eat, coax me, as if I was a child. I'm so filled with shame. I just couldn't. And now I'm home and working from my living room again, and over the moon that no one can see me restrict.

It's terrible. And still I am in the phase where I don't want to quit. I'd rather be alone and starving than get to see anyone. I just want to be left alone with enough time to l

There it is! The full on relapse we've all been waiting for, where I start on purpose destroying my own food. Come on brain, I'm too old for this shit. Can I please get my impulse control back?

My husband will notice this. Everything is suddenly inedible. So much for stealth ED...
