arakura Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Oh god. I've had migraines since high school so I've gotten pretty used to dealing with them. They're not the same for everyone but here's some tips that have helped me deal with mine 1. First, do you have an aura? You might not have noticed it if it's your first time, but for about an hour or more before the actual migraine hits you'll have either an audio or visual hallucination kind of thing. In some people it's a color or a kind of high-pitched noise. For me it looks like an invisible worm is twisting around in the air in front of me. A good way to tell it's an aura is if you can still see it when you close your eyes. I don't get migraines but my mother and aunt do. Your comment caught me off guard because I suddenly remember this conversation me and my brothers had years ago with my aunt where she was telling us that when she was having a migraine she would see us with a color (I dont remember exactly the way she said it, but the idea was that we gave off/felt like (?) a certain color). For my oldest brother it was red, for my younger sister it was orange, and I was yellow... I think. I remember it being like a scale of intensity that happened to correspond to our intensity as a person (not that she went so far as to suggest the correlation). It might actually have been red, pink, and blue... ugh, I dont remember. Maybe I'll call my aunt and ask. I also recall she said that her mother had the same thing except instead of colors it was sounds or something. It's a really vague memory but I thought it was so cool at the time and I haven't heard anything about the subject since. Maybe I can say something that might help you Lino. Both my mom and my aunt won't eat certain foods because they say that those foods trigger migraines for them. My aunt wont eat chocolate and my mom stays away from heavily processed foods. I don't even know if they're right about this, but they've lived decades with migraine issues, so I'd at least consider looking at your diet if the migraines keep coming. Quote
Cyrillej1 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Confession: I suck at looking at the people I find attractive.. I get too self-conscious... So I literally get like the first glimpse --> if attractive = fail to look at said person again for the remainder of session... If only I had more balls... I feel the same way. I'm afraid they'll notice if I stare too much. If I'm far away and can't be seen though, I may try to sneak peaks~ hehe. Quote
TexasDice Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 "I hope senpai doesn't notice me..." Speaking of migraines, has anyone seen Furious 7? my mom is also a big victim of those. She's basically completely knocked out and unable to to anything but sleep whenever it happens. Quote
SilverLi Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 My mom and sister got migraine. I don't. I feel lucky about that. Instead I got horrible pollen allergy. I don't know which is worse. Confession: I lost my job two days ago. They had to cut down on expenses so 40 employees had to go. Not much I can do. Quote
Kosakyun Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Confession: I don't think I've ever had a migraine. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Maybe I can say something that might help you Lino. Both my mom and my aunt won't eat certain foods because they say that those foods trigger migraines for them. My aunt wont eat chocolate and my mom stays away from heavily processed foods. I don't even know if they're right about this, but they've lived decades with migraine issues, so I'd at least consider looking at your diet if the migraines keep coming. I know someone who reliably gets migraines after eating food containing a certain very common food dye (I forget which one - Red number something), so she watches her diet very carefully to avoid it. So, yeah, there's probably something to that bit. An actual confession for something I feel moderately self-conscious of: I'm interviewing someone at work next week who is thinking about an internal transfer to my team. Was flipping through the CV, realized the person is probably about the same age as I am, and also saw a mention that they have a hobby of working on video games, and thought, "cool, a real kindred spirit here". I got a meeting invite for the interview, which automatically populated an employee photo of them on my screen, and discovered she's a cute girl. So, now I'm somewhat unreasonably excited, and hoping she aces the interview so I can enthusiastically recommend hiring her. rainsismyfav and Tyrael 2 Quote
Kosakyun Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 >A cute girl Holy shit. Pls accept her. What's your job, btw? I don't remember hearing about it. Quote
Getsuya Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Confession: After discovering Sylvanian Family toys and deciding they are something I need in my life, then I discovered that there was an American cartoon based off the toys and after seeing the opening/ending once I now cannot get it the hell out of my head. ... wait crap sorry. I apologize to anyone who gets this stuck in their head due to me. Quote
Fred the Barber Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 >A cute girl Holy shit. Pls accept her. What's your job, btw? I don't remember hearing about it. I did mention it once in my awkward introduction thread (which I won't link because, well, it's awkward), but I'm a software engineer. Quote
crunchytaco Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Confession: I have zero social media accounts. Owning one forces me to look back at people from my college and high school days, reminding me of my inadequacies back then. It's the only thing that brings shame to me these day as if on reflex, to a person who doesn't know what shame is these days. Confession: It also reminds me of how unfair life is. People who I knew were privileged when they were young, continue on now with their beautiful and happy lives. They have the same beautiful friends, they've joined high ranking organizations in society and climbed ladders that put them even higher in society, and they continue to surround themselves with even more beautiful friends. Their white pearly teeth makes my stomach sick. Confession: I don't need any of that. While I can't say I'm happy yet with my life the way it is right now, I've carved my own life the way it is and I'll play the cards that were dealt. Quote
Tyrael Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Confession: I have several social media accounts since I already hate myself to the max so it doesn't really bother me Quote
Yuuko Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Confession: I just use facebook and twitter for browsing anime pictures Quote
Kosakyun Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Confession: I have a facebook and I just use it for friends. I could care less about other stuff. Oh, and Fuwanovel. Quote
LinovaA Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Confession: I have been contemplating deleting my Facebook account, or at the very least detaching myself from it. I just feel like I could be doing so many better things, and that it would be much easier on my stress levels just to contact my friends through Skype, text message, and email. Quote
Flutterz Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Speaking of Facebook, an old classmate of mine got married a couple of days ago. Confession: I think 20 is a bit too early to get married. Quote
Getsuya Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Confession: I have a Facebook but I only use it for work, because my job requires me to be about 200% more social than I actually am. Mainly I use it for creating networks of 'friends' I can ask to come volunteer at events and stuff. It's like being a telemarketer! Confession2: I have turned down really solid job offers because I'm so tired of working with people that all I want to do is sit down in front of a computer and translate 24/7 and never talk to anyone but the guy asking me for progress reports for a few years. That's my dream job. Confession3: While the above two may make me sound incredibly anti-social, it's quite different. I'm a very social person and I enjoy hanging out with people. I just hate situations in which my job or position FORCES me to hang out with people and my paycheck is on the line if I can't make friends with them. Faking smiles and pretending to laugh at jokes makes me die a little inside. I just want to hang out with people naturally and at my own pace. I really like people, honest. Quote

Confession: I am afraid to handle a job in the future because of those reasons. If you made me meet one of your friends and he said something that pissed me off I wouldn't hesitate to say, "I don't like you," and walk away. Fortunately, a lot of people think I'm joking, so I don't really get into trouble, but I doubt that would stay the same in the future. Quote

Getsuya Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Since I put all my eggs in the 'Japanese' basket I only have 2 career options: translation and interpretation. One of these leads to happiness, one to despair. Quote
Flutterz Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Confession: I have 3 Youtube accounts - one for watching and commenting, one for uploading VN/anime related things, and one for uploading non-VN/anime related things (mostly shitty Dota 2 clips in Russian). Quote
TexasDice Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I have two. One for magic and the other for gaming. I'm currently inactive though, due to a lack of motivation. Dark Souls 2 PvP just isn't as fun as it used to be. Quote
Kosakyun Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Confession: I don't have a Youtube account. I cringe whenever the vid's 18+. Quote
Aniki Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Confession: I don't have a Youtube account. I cringe whenever the vid's 18+. Quote
Kosakyun Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Are there any good 18+ videos there? Most of them are just useless stuff. :/ Quote
TexasDice Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Most videos in which somebody says "fuck" are locked 18, so yeah. Quote
