I don't know if this is ARFID, anxiety, GERD, or something completely different, but I'm desperate to know if anyone else has gone through this.
Back in February, I was going through one of the hardest times of my life and I was under more stress than I've ever experienced. One night while eating dinner, something just... changed.
I suddenly became hyper-focused on my breathing and swallowing. Instead of just eating without thinking, I started taking tiny bites, chewing forever, and trying to coordinate every swallow with my breathing through my nose. It was like my brain forgot how to eat normally.
Since that day, eating has never been the same.
Every meal feels exhausting. I don't really get hungry anymore, and I don't enjoy food like I used to. I constantly feel like food is getting stuck in my throat, my throat feels dry, I clear my throat all the time, and I'm always worried I'm going to choke or that food is going to go down the wrong pipe. Sometimes I can swallow just fine, but my brain keeps telling me something is wrong, so I overthink every single bite.
I've wondered if it's GERD because antacids seem to help a little, but this all started so suddenly after an incredibly stressful period that I'm starting to think my brain somehow got stuck in "manual mode" when it comes to swallowing.
It's been five months now, and I honestly miss being able to just sit down and enjoy a meal without thinking about every chew and every swallow. I never imagined something as simple as eating could become so mentally draining.
Has anyone here had something similar? Did it end up being ARFID, anxiety, functional dysphagia, GERD, or something else? Were you able to get back to eating normally? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences because this has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with.

I've been trying to put together a complete list of everything that was filmed before production shut down because of COVID, back when Knoxville still had his dark brown hair.
I'm basically trying to figure out what the original version of Jackass Forever might have looked like if production never got interrupted.

So far I have:
Human Ramp
The Dum Dum Game
Silence of the Lambs
The Punching Bag
Musical Chairbags
Fire in the Hole
Hammock Throw
Dong Pong
Long Jump
Dine and Dash
The Triple Wedgie
The Marching Band
The Electric Eel
The Tarantula Helmet
A Friendly Game of Chance

Am I missing anything that was definitely filmed before the shutdown? I'm counting stuff that ended up in Jackass Forever, 4.5, deleted scenes, or anything else that was shot during those weeks of filming.

I started keeping a list of Subway sandwich ideas with different meats, cheeses, sauces, and toppings that all sound good to me. Some are classics with a few tweaks, while others are just random combinations I came up with. Before I start trying them, I'm curious which ones stand out to you.
Which would you order first? Which ones would you change? And if you have your own go-to combo that's not on my list, I'd love to hear it.

If the guys ever decide to do one more project when they're older, I'd honestly rather see something like A Jackass* *Christmas than just another numbered sequel.
Theres a lot they could do with the concept. Throw in a few surprise guest appearances from people who've been part of the series over the years, and I think it'd be a blast.
It wouldn't have to try to top the biggest stunts from the earlier movies. Just let the guys have fun with a Christmas theme and capture that classic Jackass feeling.
Would you watch it, or do you think the series should just be left alone? Maybe even a paramount plus special for the holidays.

I always thought it would've been hilarious if Poopies, Jasper, Zach, and Rachel all worked together to pull off one big prank on Knoxville, Steve-O, Pontius, Ehren, Preston, Dave, and Wee Man. We got to see the new guys take plenty of punishment, but I don't think we ever got a moment where they all joined forces to get one over on the original cast.
It would've been a fun way to show the passing of the torch and let the newcomers really shine. Does anyone else wish they had done something like that?

Something I've always wondered:
In the final cut of Jackass Forever, during Silence of the Lambs, Johnny Knoxville says they're going to bring everyone in "two at a time." But you can tell this was filmed before Bam was fired because Knoxville still has his black hair from the original 2020 shoot.
That got me thinking—if Knoxville was already introducing people in pairs, do you think Bam was originally intended to be left out of that group segment from the beginning? Or do you think he originally had his own separate version of the stunt, and they just edited around him after he was fired?
Now that we've seen some of Bam's unreleased footage, it seems like he may have filmed his own standalone version of the stunt instead of being paired with the others.
What do you guys think? Was this always the plan, or did they restructure the edit after everything happened?
