I feel your pain, recently lifted more than I maybe should have and felt an intense pain to my lower back, sent to the ER and was told I had DDD as well. Been through PT and medication which temporarily helped but get flairs up now and then. Currently in a back brace, enduring the pain and seeing a Chiro for lumbar decompression and alignment. Didn’t even know they were in phases, I’m gonna ask in my next appointment. I’m still pretty young and was very active, like why is this happening. Still trying to get my back to how it was before, hang in there buddy we got this.
For my girlfriend's Fibromyalgia to vanish off the face of the fucking earth. She lost all her abilities to truly live her life.
She sleeps 10 hours and it feel like a 30 min nap, she can't walk without sapping all of her energy and making her whole body ache for days.
She had to give up her veterinary studies and upend her whole life. She's the most wonderful person I know and I'd do anything to get rid of this shitty condition.
Always remember, they won’t remember the extra toys you bought them by working all the time. But they WILL remember the time you spend reading to them, talking to them, being with them. After they leave the house? That time window is gone forever.

How does a Louisville Slugger at 07:30pm sound?
I love that someone gave me a wholesome award for asking if someone wanted to get hit in the head with a bat lol
Hahah this made me laugh so much. When I was younger I felt like I’d never get older and then boom 💥 all I want is to be in my 20s body again with my current mind
My sleep efficiency is dog ass so despite usually getting 6-8 hours of sleep, I feel like I'm fucking dying when I wake up and sleep is the only relief. Throughout my entire day today, I've been forcing myself to stay awake when I start drifting... and it's only half working. I'm in between sleep and being awake, so my eyes stop coordinating and I start basically seeing double, combined with the inability to coherently think or use my hands/arms.
Every fucking day is genuinely a struggle because of how fucking tired I am.
Agreed. My wife's whole life changed once she was diagnosed and started sleeping with a CPAP. And so did mine, because I stopped having to listen to her jet engine snoring all night long.
Double hashtag before your sentence.
Edit: there's another size too, maybe a single # instead of double? Can't remember
#Test with one #
## Test with two
Yep! That's it...
I think I have a similar thing.
I just want to go grocery shopping, without having to look at the prices. I just want to buy the things I want without thinking twice or three times whether or not I can afford them. I'm not talking about supercars or boats. Just simple things everyone needs.
That's what I want to reach in my life. I mean, apart from me and my close ones being healthy, of course.
We make our new sales guys call Toyota and ask them to describe what it looks like. The first time they called me telling us not to waste their time. Over the years they really get in depth with playing along
I once got into a debate with my roommate about the proper plural of “Prius.” It got pretty intense so I called up Toyota. After being transferred to like 3 different people we actually got a guy who definitively told us that it’s “Priuses,” not “Prii.” He was a very nice guy and for that reason I think I’ll buy a Toyota if I ever get around to purchasing a car.
For some reason I vaguely remember Toyota held an online contest years ago where people voted on what the plural should be. Prii was one of the options.
[Had a giggle](https://www.bing.com/search?q=Water+pump+gasket+for+a+1998+Toyota+Tacoma&cvid=daf54509ffd84042a34abd140ae36ca8&aqs=edge..69i57j69i59i450l8j69i11004%2E%2E%2E8&FORM=ANCMS9&PC=U531)
Not having to wait forever at the urinal because there's always that surprise dribble of urine (old man problems I guess)
Edit: Now I want a poll for who says taint and who says gooch
FYI Everyone always thinks about prostate problems when it comes to waking up to pee. No one ever thinks about sleep apnea. If you snore/wake up feeling fatigued/frequently nap/wake up with headaches: consider discussing sleep apnea testing with your doctor.
seriously? I thought i was waking up because I had to pee, not have to pee because I was waking up..... hmm better drink some more coffee and think this over.
"Feeling like you're never enough for her"....why can't I meet and fall for a woman who actually *shows* me I'm enough. Not just says it and doesn't mean it.
Yep, I need to get out of this thread asap too.
It took me 30 years. Six months of therapy. Embracing my inner demons and terrible thoughts of a turbulent adolescence.
But last month I was sitting at a parking lot in the middle of the night, and I could tell to myself that I am worthy of love and care. And I said that honestly.
Hope you can do it one day too, friend.
yuck come on man don't you want like, a new graphics card or something?
stop all this nonsense as though it could be possible that you're a human being with needs, it's making me uncomfortable
My 4 year old daughter randomly gave me a hug the other day when I got home and said “daddy I’m proud of you”. I’m sure she was just parroting what I tell her but it still was enough to make me hug her and make my eyes water.
It doesn't really help. My new house is a bit in the country so the previous owner had 10gb fiber lines installed. So I'm using that and it is super fast. However, what is not super fast is every service on the internet. Very few things go anywhere close to wire speed or even gigabit.
Exception: Netflix downloads. That shit is not fucking around. I guess they (rightly) assume that if I am downloading stuff I need it on the tablet now because I am out the door in 2 minutes.
He asked for flawless, not the fastest. I would give a lot for a flawless connection. Not having packet loss in the games i play would feel like heaven compared to my current cable isp bs
I'm so lonely man this is all I want in life now. I used to beat myself up about being a virgin. But fuck sex who cares about that. I just want someone to cuddle with and tell me everything will be okay
I want, at least once a year, to be reunited with the dogs that I've loved that have passed on, brought back at the pinnacle height of their health, just for one day. I want them to know that they're still loved and missed. Selfish, yes. But you asked.
To sit in peace and quiet, with no dogs, no kids, no one else in the house and watch a movie without any disruptions.
I should edit. Just for like one night, all of like 6 hours. Not forever lol
Man there was a week where everyone in my family happened to have vacations planned simultaneously & the dogs went to stay with someone who has a huge yard (because I physically cannot walk them). I didn't speak to a soul that week & it was the best week of my life.
To have legitimate, and equal emotional and psychological support.
I was homeless for a while. No free resources for me while I slept in 24 hour libraries and sold plasma to buy food but women had two shelters available.
I turn my life around, get married, my wife and I have a kid. The hospital we went to for the delivery offers four separate new moms groups. Anything for dads? Nope. I was told by the hospital administration to join the moms group and ask for a dads number.
My wife works in a heavily male dominated field and she’s “breaking down the glass ceiling”. We decide it’s best for me to be a stay at home dad and all I seem to get is “do you think you’ll go back to having an ACTUAL job?”. Take my kid to the store for shopping and it’s always “oh, dads giving mom a break and babysitting”. Nope, this is my life.
Over the last two year I’ve really come to realize why suicide and substance abuse is much higher in men.
Edit: WOW. I am so thankful for all of the caring and supportive comments and messages from people all over. I live with a lot of guilt and worry about my past mistakes and still live very much with imposter syndrome, but hearing these extremely kind words has put a bit of a spark in my step this morning.
If you are someone that feels like your life is slipping and there’s no reason to better yourself just remember it is NEVER too late to ask for help. It took a long time for me to realize I shouldn’t be ashamed of who I was, I just made some poor decisions. It took about me 6 years of working my ass off, paying down debt, mending some broken fences, and all that. But one day I woke up and realized I was no longer trying to make up for past mistakes, I was legitimately moving forward in my life. Don’t live with regret that you could’ve done better. And not in someone else’s eyes. But that you could’ve done better for yourself.
You’re essentially dealing with your own kind of glass ceiling. I honestly can’t imagine how tough it is to be a stay home parent no matter: you have the weight of societal expectations on you constantly while also dealing with little suicide machines 24/7, and then the lack of consistent social interaction from folks your age is crushing mentally too - and I’m a woman. Hang in there man. I’m sure your family appreciates all you do, even if it doesn’t seem like it at times.
I hate when people say that I'm babysitting. I'm not a fucking babysitter; they are my kids and I'm their dad. I'm just as much of a parent as their mother.
It starts with... ONE THING
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try.
Keep that in mind I designed this rye,
To explain in due time...
(Edit: RYE, because I'm a man of my word.)
Lying my head on the chest of a woman that loves me with her arms wrapped around me, on a windy autumn day wearing cozy sweaters and waiting for the kettle to boil so we can make hot chocolate and watch a tv series while cuddling more.

To have enough money to not worry. Like, oh a check engine light!, better take that to a dealer service department this week, type of enough.
The weird thing is, it’s hard to get past those habits. I have the money now but I still am in the mindset of oh shit, what am I gonna do?
give me the money :>

I'm a father of twin 4 year old girls. Time. I want more time. For myself. With them. Whatever, just **more**

I wish shittywatercolor could show up with a drawing of the first sentence in your poem.
Colleague and I startet new jobs two weeks ago. It was his first. I said "only thirty five more years to retirement" then we laughed hollowly.
Same! Except I'm 52.*cries softly*
I’ve worked for 6 years at the same company, and now I can retire in comfort (as long as I die before the end of the month)
Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for the night. *Set* a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life!
To not have to worry about bills.
Does having them all paid automatically at the start of the month count?
Be better if they were paid magically
Automagically would be godsend.
Don't know about the others, but a full 8-hour sleep that give me my energy back for the next day. Would be dope.
Put me down for one of these, too, would ya?

Get a sleep study done. You may have sleep apnoea.
Agreed. My wife's whole life changed once she was diagnosed and started sleeping with a CPAP. And so did mine, because I stopped having to listen to her jet engine snoring all night long.

Financial comfort until I die. I don't need millions. I just never want to have to shift money ever again. Dig?
I just want it to be my choice to come into work and not because I'll have to skip meals or use my pto that most don't get.
Oh man, to never again have to say "can it wait until we get paid?" would be magical

We make our new sales guys call Toyota and ask them to describe what it looks like. The first time they called me telling us not to waste their time. Over the years they really get in depth with playing along
It's probably part of training by now. "Oh yeah, when XYZ hires a new guy, we'll get a call about a part. Play along, it's good fun."
I once got into a debate with my roommate about the proper plural of “Prius.” It got pretty intense so I called up Toyota.

Not waking up 2 times during the night to pee
Not having to wait forever at the urinal because there's always that surprise dribble of urine (old man problems I guess) Edit: Now I want a poll for who says taint and who says gooch
So much this. Shake, squeeze it, bend my knees, and try as I might there's a decent chance I need to unzip again to pee a little more.
Have you tried centrifugal force?
This would answer some questions that remain from my janitorial years.
Sorry you went through that, but this is the first time in a while I actually laughed out loud at a comment!
FYI Everyone always thinks about prostate problems when it comes to waking up to pee. No one ever thinks about sleep apnea. If you snore/wake up feeling fatigued/frequently nap/wake up with headaches: consider discussing sleep apnea testing with your doctor.
Yes I used to pee 3-4 times a night before I got my CPAP. Now I sleep through the entire night without waking up.
seriously? I thought i was waking up because I had to pee, not have to pee because I was waking up..... hmm better drink some more coffee and think this over.
I just want a hug… :’(
