Me too. The texture on the sweater and hair are nice and the expressions on her face are very cute

Reminds me of Omori

I used to be like that, hypothyroidism is a removed.

Since being on the meds I now have the energy to do two separate things in a single day.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How did you find out? Also, "removed" lol

[–] li10@lemmy.ml 18 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don’t know why the word was removed, wasn’t that bad 😆

I was just constantly tired and stressed, eventually the stress was causing heart palpitations so went to the doctor and they did a blood test.

Before the meds it was like being an old phone with a dying battery. Only ever charged up to 60% no matter how much sleep, and ran out of power in a few hours.

Are you me? Because that sounds just like me. I can't make it through the day without an afternoon nap and have heart palpitations at night. All this started after a bout of covid in early 2021 right before vaccines were available.

[–] li10@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

Hmm, I’d say it got worse after I caught Covid, but I wouldn’t say that was the cause.

I’ve never had good energy levels, but it felt like it had been specifically downhill over 5 or so years, and then completely fell off the cliff for a year.

lemmy.ml has a pretty strict filter on any word that could be considered a slur regardless of context.

What did the blood test check for? I wonder if a general blood test would catch that.

[–] proton_lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ask your doctor to check your TSH and T3/T4 levels. That's just like a regular blood test.

[–] li10@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think it was a general blood test, they weren’t looking for hypothyroidism specifically.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

That's good to know. Thank you for answering my question. (main instance was down so in replied earlier on back-up alt)

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The power of prescribed amphetamines!

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yup, until I take my second dose at noon and.. Fall asleep for 3 hours anyway 🤷

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I remember having to tell my doctor that too initially lol. Turns out only getting 5-6 hours of sleep at actual night means you want more sleep in the afternoon.

Get your solid 7-10 depending on what you need from genetics and that afternoon nap is much less needed. It's good right now since the gf can sleep with the kids when they're down for their naps too. But she's perpetually surprised that only going to bed between 12-1am doesn't exactly leave you feeling refreshed when kids get up between 6:30 and 7 lol.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm sleeping 10h at night on top of the nap :x

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do you at least get baller dreams like I do? Super powers. Spell flinging. Monsters. Dystopias and utopia's.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Haha yes I do, I'm flying every night

They release dopamine alright, but that doesn't mean I instantly know how to make use of them for the things I should be doing

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Traitor!

This artist finished drawing this comic.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

It's actually a 4 panel

[–] vormadikter@startrek.website 10 points 9 months ago

...for a second i thought "damn, why so many hair on her armpit".... And i cannot unsee it.

[–] Xariphon@kbin.social 7 points 9 months ago

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

A fulfilling life is no replacement for a good night's sleep.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I feel personally diagnosed.
