This usually happens to me when I'm playing with pets on life sims, then I just spiral because I'm like, wait, why am I not playing with my real pets? Similarly, why am I making these pixels paint and go outside instead of doing that irl? Like I love life sims, but sometimes I genuinely ruin it for myself without meaning to lol

I've been overweight my whole life. Obviously, my body image and self confidence is awful because of that. I turned 20 not long ago, and didn't want to lose my twenties to feeling so insecure in my body like i did my teens, so I've started counting every calorie.

I'm hungry most of the time, but I've started to like the feeling? I never usually ate 3 set meals a day, I was always more of a snack person then a big dinner, so now I've tried dropping snacks and just having dinner instead. I like my stomach feeling empty and flat because it's like I can feel it working. I have dinner early, then brush my teeth to try stop myself from snacking later on.

When I worked out my calorie maintenance it was around 1700 to slowly lose weight. On the app I have that tracks calories eaten from a food scale, I set my goal to 1500 to make sure that I never accidentally go over the maintenance from the food I forget to weigh in the day. But I rarely ever hit the 1500, dinners usually 400 calories since I like salads so I just eat those, then a bowl of strawberries which is low too. I'm usually at around 900 on days where I add cheese and sauces to my salad, or if I splurge on snacks at bedtime.

I've heard it's bad to be under 1200, but it feels very good seeing how low I can be at the end of the day. I'm aware this is problematic, I know how ED's work, but how is it even possible to calorie count without getting it in your head that it's a competition to get the lowest score possible?

You know when someone calls in and they say their emergency in a funny/ ambiguous way? What's your favourite

I'm going home today. I have one assignment left. I've lost my student ID so I can't check the books I need for it out myself, but also there's no one at desk to do it for me as it's bank holiday. My parents are 10 minutes away and it need these books.

Do I smuggle them out and email the library team later to tell them what happened so they can mark them as taken? Or will i get in trouble for that?

Edit: I left without the books because I'm a wuss, but I'm leaving post up because already a classic redditor has taken things way too seriously and it's funny to me lmao

Since hearing that Tim Minear has been planting easter eggs through S9 for something, I've been trying to find them all.

St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers: Buck. St Theodore is the patron Saint of soldiers: Eddie (if Theo ends up being important, I feel this is worth noting)

Eddie was in the cards for Buck.

Buck was at Eddie's 9 o'clock.

The first person Buck and Eddie saved together, the guy with the bomb in his leg, his name was Hector. The name on the shirt Eddie stole in 9x13, to save Buck? Hector.

Has anyone picked up on anything else??

I love fics that focus on a particular mental health issue in depth, but because of how popular ADHD Buck is I'm struggling to find a fic that focuses on it rather than just having it as a tag. I'd love to see how it effects Buck and causes problems in his day to day life, and how it impacts his behaviour. Even better if someone in the 118 gets frustrated with him because they don't understand the issue, prior to his diagnosis.

Please, I'll take any recc. I'm this close to starting another WIP 5 times Buck's ADHD was mistaken for carelessness, and 1 time he was understood or something like that lol
