I suggest changing that to: “I am invoking my right to remain silent. I am invoking my right to an attorney.” Current phrasing leaves too much room for you to get lawyer dogged.

Hi angel, I don’t mind you asking at all, I’m really glad you’re reaching out and seeking help :) I know that overcoming the urge to stress eat can feel like a challenging habit to break, but don’t worry, it’s completely doable! Here are some tips to help you manage and reduce urges to stress eat and develop healthier eating patterns:
How to stop overeating ₊˚⊹♡
Identify triggers: Recognize the situations, emotions, or thoughts that trigger your stress eating urges. Keep a journal to track your eating habits, emotions, and circumstances surrounding your stress eating episodes. Keep a food diary to track when and why you stress eat. Understanding your emotional and environmental triggers can help you avoid or manage them more effectively.
Develop alternative coping mechanisms : Find healthier ways to cope with your emotions, such as talking to a friend, engaging in physical activity, practicing mindfulness or meditation, or engaging in a hobby.
Eat regular meals and snacks: Skipping meals or restricting your food intake can lead to increased hunger and stress eating. Don’t skip meals, as this can lead to overeating later in the day. Aim to eat balanced meals and snacks at regular intervals throughout the day.
Avoid restrictive diets: Strict diets that eliminate entire food groups or severely limit caloric intake can contribute to binge eating. As mentioned before, focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods and allows for occasional treats.
Portion control: Use smaller plates and serve yourself smaller portions. This can help you eat less without feeling deprived.
Stay hydrated: Drinking water before and during meals can help you feel full and prevent overeating. Sometimes, thirst can be mistaken for hunger.
Choose high-fiber and high-protein foods: These foods can help you feel full and satisfied for longer periods, reducing the likelihood of overeating.
Get enough sleep: Sleep deprivation can increase hunger and cravings, making it more difficult to control your eating habits.
Practice mindful eating: Eating while watching TV, working, or using your phone can lead to mindless eating. Try to create a calm and focused environment for meals. Slow down and pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues. Savor your food, and avoid eating while distracted. Focus on the experience of eating – the taste, texture, and aroma of your food. Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you recognize when you’re full and prevent stress eating.
Create a supportive environment: Surround yourself with people who understand your struggles and can provide encouragement and support. Consider joining a support group or working with a therapist!
Be patient and compassionate with yourself: Overcoming stress eating is a process that takes time, effort, and self-compassion. Acknowledge your progress and be kind to yourself when you experience setbacks.
“If you get accepted to Nielsen’s Internet Panel, they’ll pay you just to install the app and keep it on your device.” — Wired
IT WORKED ! didnt think they’d actually pay me to put an app on my phone but ayyyyy lmao. the money could be better but $20 is $20
Nielsen is legit, they sent me $5 in the mail once before I even took the survey they sent with it. So PSA: if you ever get mail from Nielsen, don’t throw it out because there might be money inside
it’s okay to disappear for a while. to not talk to a single soul for a few days and just enjoy the sound of silence all around you. sometimes that’s all you need, be with yourself for a while, and some may not get it but that’s on them. you’re entitled to your own needs and feelings, so if being alone is what you need, do it regardless. i’m proud of you.
I know, I know, gatekeeping the outdoors, that’s supposedly bad, right, but I think if you show up to do a hike and you brought a portable speaker with you to play music while you hike, I think, like hear me out, there should be a gate, and someone at the gate should keep you from doing the hike.
playing music in public should get strong social disapproval
Recorded music, anyway. Live music is different rules. If you want to lug an entire cello up a mountain you can do whatever the hell you want.
Carrying a speaker on a hike to make everyone listen to your bullshit, and simply sitting under a tree and playing a fiddle in the woods, are two activities so different they may as well not exist in the same world.
I think the critical difference is that the bringing of recorded music with you ties the space to Elsewhere, whereas the creation of live music with an instrument you brought both binds you to the space, and drags everyone who hears you play into it as well.
one thing i need to start living by is “become the thing that you want” if i want friends who throw themed parties maybe i should start throwing those parties. if i want someone who writes me love letters maybe i should start writing letters for the people i love. if i want to hang out at museums and pretty cafes maybe i should invite my friends to these places. and maybe even then i won’t find the kind of people i want to be around. but then i would have become the exact person i want to be around. and maybe that’s good enough.
