I recently got sober and feel modern rap is both triggering with low vibrations and just stale. I’ve been going back to a lot of that good vibe 2000s rap and Mase, but want to find more with this uplifting vibe. As much as I love Nipsey and motivational artists similar, I’m looking for fun catchy songs as well to keep me in a good spot.

What’s your favorites from this vibe? Any recommendations would be huge!

I could really use some reassurance right now. It’s midnight and after sleeping for about an hour I woke up to the classic pounding headache and heart beating out of my chest. I went on a binge the past 2 days drinking about 8 beatboxes. I know that isn’t a ridiculous amount, but still could use the reassurance that I’m fine and this will pass. This happened to me last time where I went to the ER just to be told nothing is wrong and I wasn’t going through major withdrawal. Any advice to get over this and be able to sleep for work tomorrow?

I 23m had surgery 2 days ago that’s forced me to slow down in life. For the past year I’ve been in an awful soul destroying cycle of drinking, smoking weed, porn, food, doomscrolling, literally anything that can keep my brain occupied without actually moving forward in life. I graduated from college about a year ago and was lucky enough to move back home to save money. But because of poor spending habits, bringing that college energy back home, and these medical costs I’ve spent more than half of what I’ve saved. I’m not looking for pity because I don’t even pity myself, I’m just exhausted of this cycle and don’t know how to talk about my struggles with family and friends. I try to be the light hearted always funny friend and don’t want to kill the vibe.

I’m grateful that my surgery went well and even more so that I have this opportunity to slow down and re-assess my life, but the thought of my next drink when this is all done or checking out some porn while I’m stuck in bed proves that I’m not magically a new person after all this. I’ve been off the path so long I don’t know how to get back on. I wish I could work out (not that I was disciplined about that before all of this) but I have to take it easy for the next 2-3 weeks. This life no longer fits me anymore and I want to grow.

Anyways sorry for the rambling, but any advice on what I can do now to be better? Is there an easy way to talk to people in my life about my struggles or is this something to fight alone? How can I avoid these vices that are straying me from any sort of purpose or goal in life?

I 23m have had a small amount of blood in my urine for a while as well as possibly having pelvic floor/prostasis issues. They want to do a quick cystoscopy to observe what’s going on. I’ve gotten over the fears of the actual procedure itself, but was curious if anyone had tips on how to help the healing after the fact. What level of pain should I expect after the procedure? How long does painful urination and low sex drive typically last?

The past few months have been pretty awful to be honest. From both great grandparents passing away, to water damage in house, to potential health stuff with my bladder, and helping people move, it’s all been so fucking exhausting to deal with at once. I’m 23 and am very grateful and lucky for my life in a lot of ways, but so many tragedies and inconveniences have happened recently that’s its really triggered my previous suicidal ideation/depression. Every weekend for the past few months it’s either been dealing with work, family funerals, helping people move, or fixing the house that I’ve had no time for myself or hanging out with friends. It’s caused me to start drinking much more heavily which only makes my fuse shorter and my energy more exhausted. On top of all of this my fridge just broke and I get it’s not the end of the world but I just couldn’t be more done.

I’m mostly venting but I really need perspective/advice in this time. How do you guys deal with so many things at once without losing your mind? How can I be more positive with my habits and mindset?

A few months back I had a sex related injury (stubbed my unit) and went to the ER. Everything seemed to be fine, but in following urologist appointments they found microscopic amounts of blood in my urine that I can’t see when peeing.

After weeks of no fap I was at a low point and went back to daily, but day by day it started to hurt. My hydration has also been awful being depressed and drinking a lot, but I’ve eliminated that and masturbation for 2 days now and don’t plan on going back. I have a Cystoscopy scheduled for them to inspect my bladder for why there’s pee in my blood, but wanted advice in the meantime.

Main question:

For like the past week and especially these 2 days I’ve been sober, urination burns my tip. My pee for a while has also been noticeably bubbly. I also notice erections aren’t as strong, slightly hurt, and could be either prostatitis or pelvic floor issues. I’m not looking for a diagnosis, but more how can I help reduce this burning? Has this happened to anyone? What should I be doing to help?

I had horrible sleep last night as I was staying somewhere and didn’t have much water or the opportunity to brush my teeth. I’m pretty sure I mouth breathed a lot while I was sleeping as I had pretty brutal cotton mouth / sour taste this morning. I’ve been chugging water like crazy, but I still have this spoiled taste that made me throw out my lunch thinking it went bad. I tested my taste on some fruit and even that had a horrible after taste. I also quit drinking a few days back, so maybe acid reflux? I’m prone to gum disease, but literally saw the dentist last week where they said all is good. (Also haven’t had cavities in years) I’m wondering if this is just temporary for the circumstances?

Is this an issue of mouth breathing? Will this resolve on its own? I’ve brushed, flossed, water pik, and mouth wash and still have this taste. Any advice would be great!

Them with Shane on the bonfire is the funniest shit I’ve heard in a while. Are there anymore podcasts with Kilah or ones worth watching with Beezer?

I’ve heard his take on Batman Begins a few times and wanted to hear his take on Heath Ledger’s Joker. Are there any clips of it out there?

I’m 23 m 2 weeks sober now and really struggle with purpose. It was something I struggled with while smoking as well pretty much doing the bare minimum to get by, but now that I don’t have that numbness it’s gotten rough. I keep falling back into a negative mindset and still continue my lazy habits. Things like teeth sensitivity, anxiety, and brain fog after quitting haven’t help at all either. I’m depressed and feel like I already ruined my brain and body. I wish I could jump back to myself 5 years ago and do all of this differently. How do you guys have a positive outlook? What can I do to improve this miserable existence I’m stuck in?

I’ve quit weed and alcohol for the past 5 days. Everything’s been fine for the most part, but I’ve noticed much more sensitivity and weird saliva tastes since quitting these vices. I’m 23 and have only using these vices for the past 2 years. My teeth and gums seem fine and eating seems to be fine, but I’m still hesitant on what I eat now and am worried about drinking coffee. I also hurt my tooth about a week back after biting a chicken wing bone, but it doesn’t appear damaged or moved and eating with it has been fine.

I’m a bit ashamed to have to ask my dentist and tell them my prior substance issues, especially if this is just a mental thing or withdrawals. Maybe this is all anxiety, but I’d love an explanation or advice if you guys have any! Kind of feels like I’m losing my mind haha so any response is greatly appreciated!

My Dad caused a small fire that we put out with the extinguisher. Now there’s residue all over the stove and microwave fan. What would be the best way to properly get residue out of the stove and fan? Would any remnants of it be a safety or health hazard? Any help would be great!

Edit: thanks for the advice currently cleaning, but wanted to know if it’s safe to use the oven for now?

I’m 23 m who’s quit both weed and alcohol for about 5 days after almost daily use for about 2 years. Since then I’ve had the typical withdrawals of heightened anxiety, brain fog, and even some depression. It’s been 1 year since college and I’ve wasted a lot of it by not doing anything outside of work and being fairly average at what I do because these vices have been holding me back.

Recently my anxiety has been from having strange teeth feelings as well. I made a post here yesterday about how I get this random sensitivity in my teeth and gums that isn’t necessarily painful, but has only added to my anxiety that I’ve screwed up too much already. I feel incredibly stuck and have the repeating idea that I wish I could restart like starting a new save in a game just to give my body and mind a break. I hate being negative, but I don’t know how to deal with things out of my control (including the past). Any perspective or advice would be great, just feel hopeless right now.

The past 2 or 3 times I’ve taken a break or tried to quit I always get weird feelings in my teeth. Sometimes it’s a random sharp pain in a random tooth, but this current time it almost feels like one of my teeth moved despite being intact and being able to chew fine. Even sometimes when I was too high I’d get this weird sensation that my teeth were moving/falling out as well. It’s one of the many reasons I’m quitting, but now feels like this weird dental psychosis.

I might visit the dentist next week just in case there really is an issue, but last time I went thinking one of my teeth were chipped just for there not to be anything wrong. I get this is super specific and a little stupid, but any advice would be great! If anyone’s gone through similar random tooth pain after quitting please share cause it really seems to only happen with or around weed for me.

Last night I accidentally bit into the bone of a chicken wing and felt one of my side incisors move. I knew it immediately and stopped eating right after. It wasn’t painful as much as just sensitivity and my anxiety of trying to figure out if it was loose or not. It didn’t move my tooth severely but it’s slightly further back than the rest. Today I still feel it in that same position and it’s not loose or anything, but I’m still hesitant to eat/second guessing if it’s okay or not. The tooth isn’t loose or painful just a little sensitive. My dentist doesn’t open until Monday so I have some questions for anyone willing to help.

How severe is this? Will my tooth naturally realign or be fine with it in this new position? Can my retainer help move it back to its original place? Do I need to worry about eating at all?

Please any advice would be greatly appreciated! Kind of going into a spiral over this dumb thing.

I went a little hard last night as a result of deciding to finally quit drinking. This morning I was still a little drunk and after work today I ate the last edible I had. The edible hit as I started to feel the hangover which made my hangxiety 100x worse. Now I have the classic nausea, acid reflux of the sugary drinks, shakes/chills, but now I can really feel my heart beat. It isn’t a sharp pain or anything but feels like heart palpitations you get from an anxiety attack except I’ve had them mildly for the past few hours. All I want to do is hopefully sleep this off, but the slight paranoia of the weed and hangover have me a little worried about if I would like stop breathing in my sleep or something. I’m in my early 20s and am relatively healthy (besides the drinking) with no heart rate issues or any heart problems in general. Really regretting my choices right now and just want to know I’ll be okay. Please share if you have experience or advice with this feeling or even just reassurance so I don’t freak out.
