Don't know how there could uncertainty about SNa effectiveness when it's been documented, discussed and revised time and time again throughout the years on the forum but I understand, that could be fear/si talking more than a lack of knowledge in terms of what we know about SN and whether or not, it is effective or the fact that more reliable sources have been purged from free access and only the questionable sources remain.
I had a few sources but for a while now. Since my family doesn't have a lot of money we need to turn off AC during summers or set them in the 80s to prevent our AC from being overworked. Afraid the humidity has made the SN less effective. I have a few new sources but missed out on a well known source here while I took a hiatus.
Can I ask what your physical condition is? Have you been told that it will never get better? Are there other people that have the same thing, how do they get on with it?
Broken leg turned into all sorts of issues. Was told I could be cleared to run and play sports. Didnt do that but walked a lot. Turns out I was harming myself by not fixing the muscle imbalance. Now I have issues with my plantar fascia, patellar tendon and ankle tendon. Too much overreliance on my good leg also resulted in plica syndrome. A flap of vestigial tissue in your knees can thicken with overuse and gets pinched constantly. Surgery will probably result in more pain or the plica regrowing. It's hard to do any exercises on the broken leg because my good leg also flares up when I try to squat or wall sit. It was maybe 90% preventable had I been told what to do but I wasn't until it was too late by my new doctors. I should have been cutting down on walking and doing more leg day at home.
Yep I got a good job and doing really good in school so far but now the magic has worn off… everybody at work is pissing me off and seeing school is pointless because it's going to take me at least 3+ years to get where I want to be which feels like forever… I want to quit and jump ship … but I can't… trying to find a new job so I can at least have income
Honestly I don't even know if having money will make me less suicidal. I want to CTB not just because of the pain but also because the pain prevents me from getting a temporary blue collar job I can do to pay of some debts and the mental health toll impacts my desire to study and find a white collar job, which I need to find for stable health and dental insurance.
Your experience is just like mine ! I left this site for a period of time because I tried to improve my life. I got a couple of A's in college and I got a new job over the summer. However, last month, things just kept getting worse for me. My parents want me to do even more work now. Two part time jobs and college. Same with my boss. Nobody is giving me a break. I'm pissed at the fact that SN sources are being taken down too !
I wish I was at least passively browing this site for SN sources. I missed out on CCS as a result and now im back to where I started. Wish I CTBd 2 years ago.
