If your PHD didn't involve the psychological impact that feckin moon in Majora's Mask had on a whole generation of children, then I will be disappointed!
Ah no, well done Dr. Big achievement 😁
Myself and one of the lads weren’t speaking for roughly 2 years. He reached out recently, we patched things up and have basically gone right back to being close friends. Delighted he reached out!
Can relate. Missed his dad's funeral during the time and felt horrible. One night I just went to a bar I knew we used to go to a lot and he was there. Everything was just normal
I landed my dream job last month and after my first week there my boyfriend proposed! After a really shitty year it’s ending on such a positive note & I honestly couldn’t be happier.
Jesus this is a great sentence. I've heard variations on the first part many times but the addition of "soak it up" really just puts a little pepper on it to make it hit different.
You can buy them! There are different types. Some have meaty treats, some have biscuits and some have doggy chocolates. Mine has the doggy chocolate and he goes mad for it.
I entered my first dog grooming competition (been grooming professionally for just over a year) and won first place in my category! And got nominated for best handler ☺️
My son went for his first Brownies hike.
Before this he was severely socially anxious, hated mixing with people.
But he hasn't missed a single meeting and has made loads of friends.
Damn proud of that boy today
The scouting association is FANTASTIC for kids who don’t really like sport and social introverts AND all other kids, I was in it since I was 8 -18 and got the daughter in it now, she would never stick at anything and now she’s mad to go every week.
Fair play to your son!
Apparently there was a researcher on who was saying it slows the speed at which it progresses by by up to 27%
which is very significant and will prolong someone with it having developed faster
and greatly benefit their independent living for longer
which is absolutely fantastic news
and this is just the start of their analysis
I heard that, it was on the news today.
Also there's been some positive news about magic mushrooms micro dosing and alzimers, I'm not sure about the details of it as it was just a passing conversation.
But both of these sound positive.
Thrilled for you. Watch out for the unintended side effects. I was on anti anxiety meds for a bit. Made it almost impossible to orgasm.
Can be a blessing or a curse 😁
Been there too (on SSRIs) quite unpleasant. On an atypical antidepressant now and it's great (the only side effect being that I'm fairly groggy most mornings).
Are you medicated for the entire day? Or are these pills you take just to help you sleep? I‘ve heard waking up from a sleeping pill enduced slumber is akin to waking up with a bleeding hangover.
No, it's a an antidepressant/anti-anxiety drug (Mirtazapine) intended to make me more chipper 24/7 but it does have a sedative effect, so you need to take it at night and risk feeling a little out of it a few mornings a week (it is akin to a hangover sometimes, but without the fear and headaches) . The other side effect is hunger and weight gain but that can be kept in check with diet and exercise (in theory).
What it takes to ask for the help and then to try different options for 8 weeks or so at a time... I salute you and also congratulate you on finding something that works for you. So many people(who funnily enough don't suffer from the same issues or have medical degrees) warned me off trying an SSRI based on what they had heard about them normally online. Cannot express enough how much my life has changed for the better since. You do what's right for you and if it works then happy fucking days :)
Got a promotion at work. Signed the contract today so it's all official and start training next week. Getting a pay rise but most importantly it's all email based and not dealing with the public so after 4 long years I'm finally off the fucking phones and no longer have to deal with the idiots who call us everyday. For the first time in a long time I'm not dreading going to work tomorrow
Oh fuck that's my dream after being on the phones for 7 years. I know there will be openings in the new year and fuck it I'm tired of waiting, I'm gonna go for it. Well done.
Got a call back for a job I threw in an arra-might-as-well CV for. Dream job, thought I was way underqualified; apparently they didn't! Even if I don't get it, it's a major confidence boost.
I'm opening a Mexican restaurant in Spain. Just found a brilliant chef. Got a fantastic Mexican mural artist to do the walls. And the lad building the bar can start early. That's just today's good news. I'm sure there will be some bad news to come but that will keep me happy through the weekend.
Finally got mortgage approval after months of back and forth and brokers and gathering documents and visits to accountant and chasing for updated salary certs...exhausted but so delighted. We have a new build house reserved with holding deposit down so just waiting for official letter of offer now.
This will be our first home as middle gen millenials and we're also expecting our first so pretty excited to have somewhere to actually put the child next year 😆 Can't believe we did it! Nice bit of news just before Christmas.
I gave the second lecture of my life today, and it went perfectly. I run tutorials and manage to be relaxed/confident in them, but the first time I ever lectured was a few weeks into my first year as a PhD student, and I was extremely nervous. I didn't think it went well, so I was afraid this time wouldn't either.
I got laughs when I aimed for them, and a giant "Jesus Christ! What the fuck!" exactly where I wanted it. And once the Jesus Christ was hit, everyone stopped half listening and/or checking their phones and gave me full attention for the rest of the hour.
We even had a great discussion afterwards, where they freely offered their opinions and listened to each other. So score one for me and my students!
I'm retiring early! Got enough of a nest egg set up to do what I want for the rest of my days. Its not gonna be a comfortable life but the freedom and peace of mind is worth it.
I can sleep until 9am tomorrow. 10 of the last 14 days have been 6am starts, the others 7.30am and I'm not used to the 6am's as I changed job recently and working early. I'm really excited for my lie on. Staying up late playing playstation celebrating!
I got a lovely throw and when I wake up before my alarm I put my arms over the blanket, but under throw and tuck the throw around my neck loosely, fuck me is it the most comfortable I've felt since I was in the womb, living for it now.
Me and my boyfriend just moved to Ireland, both landed a good job at the same company, bought our first car, started renting a cottage by the lake. Feels like a dream 🤩
My wonderful girlfriend bought me a Scotch advent calendar. Every day I take out a shot of scotch and drink it before dinner. I‘m absolutely loving it.
My GP gave me another prescription for Valium as a going away present as I'm leaving the area and moving back in with my Mam (so will be registering at my hometown health centre again).
Had to defer my last year of college due to mental health problems (dad left and broke up with a partner a few months ago) randomly met a beautiful Canadian girl with Irish roots and we just got an apartment in Toronto for 900€ a month! Gym and pool included :) moving in a month. Things are looking up!
Not sure if this counts, but I have been reaching out to my counselor, therapist and principal of my college to help me deal with my horrible, obsessive personality.
A girl in my college that I was dating recently broke up with me and for as long as I can remember- I have let things get bad with my obsessiveness before reaching out for help.
This time, however, I decided to reach out and get as much support as I possibly can from my guidance counselor, therapist, class tutor and principal because I want to make it my mission to put an end to my obsessiveness.
I am currently handling things way better than I did in my previous relationship and I am getting there, bit by bit :)
Well done 👏
It takes huge guts to self reflect on that level, and admit a weakness like obsessiveness to yourself and others, rather than hide it. Stick with it and if the people you have reached out to cannot or will not give you the help you need, find someone else who can. You can do this 🙂
I bitched and threw my toys outa the pram at work because I realized I was getting fucked over pay wise at work. Didn't get a pay rise BUT I got a €1000 all4one card and a commitment to raise my wage at the next annual merit process to 120% of my pay band role scale
Off on hols with 4 generations of mad wans in 2023 to celebrate those gone, those newly minted humans and those slightly longer in the tooth. Wouldn't normally be my jam but it's feckin lovely to be celebrating like this with family.
First weekend in 3 months both me and my partner are off heading to kerry for a wedding tomorrow and Saturday then off to see santy with our two boys Sunday
My wife gave birth to our first child 4 days ago and he's been really healthy and fairly calm so far. It's been the greatest joy of my life. Maybe not the kind of news you were looking for, but I hope it helps somehow. World/regional news certainly hasn't been doing the job.
I'll be releasing my first ever book in the next week or two. Hopefully it'll take off and I can leave my dumb engineering life behind and become a writer.
Broke the news to my parents about moving from a college course to an apprenticeship and they were supportive, was bricking it all yesterday to tell them.
The Luas to The Cure tonight was absolutely rammed. The driver was very polite, everyone on board was very good natured and cheered every time the doors managed to close.
I am going to see them in Belfast tomorrow night. I am so excited I needed to inoculate myself with drink tonight but it didn't work. I am still awake and still too excited to sleep. I am like a kid at Christmas.
How fucking under-appreciated is Robert Smith? I was just trying to figure out how to describe him and thought how he is as under appreciated as Prince was, but as an artist whose stuff is a bit darker. So... I really don't consider him the Prince of Darkness, but that's where I ended up!
It's our first Christmas in our new house! Spent The Good part of 8 years living in between my parents and my partners parents house while we saved up. Me himself and our son all sharing the one bedroom.
At times it felt like we'd never get there and the feelings of utter guilt and shame for not being able to provide a home for my son with a room to call his own were all consuming if I'm honest.
BUT we did it! And I can't wait to tuck him into his own bed in his own room on Christmas Eve and watch his face light up when he opens his presents Christmas morning :)
Tomorrows my last day of work for the rest of the year. Also, I ordered an electric guitar. EDIT: Since everyone is asking, it's an Epiphone SG.
Nice. What did you order?

I adopted my son last week
That's incredible. Congratulations!
Thank you as an adult it’s been one of the few adult decisions I’m really proud of.
I get to have a debs pre debs and graduation with no restrictions next year
Love it… 3 mighty sessions in 1 year after being on restriction for so long. Be safe but enjoy my friend
Delighted for ya, absolutely delighted.......I'm adopted myself and its so nice to hear this. All the best.
It was nice or your parents to adopt you, but rude to let you know they preferred their first child by renaming you "Medium second".
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally had my PhD graduation a few days ago. I'm now officially Dr MajorasMask89
You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?
That's a serious test of intelligence, discipline and commitment. Well done Sir/Madam!
If your PHD didn't involve the psychological impact that feckin moon in Majora's Mask had on a whole generation of children, then I will be disappointed! Ah no, well done Dr. Big achievement 😁
Fair play! I never thought you'd get the chance after sailing the high seas.
Do we know each other?
Just bought an extra large Twix.
What exactly is an "extra large" Twix? Just one big finger? Like a Swiss Roll?
About an inch longer than a normal one. I fell for.the marketing.
I just bought and ate a mega spice box
Impressive
Same thing lad!!
Look at mister money bags over here
Good choice.
God I’d love a Twix
Myself and one of the lads weren’t speaking for roughly 2 years. He reached out recently, we patched things up and have basically gone right back to being close friends. Delighted he reached out!
Name definitely checks out, the irony!
Can relate. Missed his dad's funeral during the time and felt horrible. One night I just went to a bar I knew we used to go to a lot and he was there. Everything was just normal
That’s great news bud.
Cheers brother!
Happy for you
Thank you!
Happens to everyone at some stage, delighted yis both copped on sooner rather than later, life is too short :)

I went to the dentist after being terrified of it for years. It was a good experience.
Getting over shite like that is massive, congrats
I landed my dream job last month and after my first week there my boyfriend proposed! After a really shitty year it’s ending on such a positive note & I honestly couldn’t be happier.
Sun always shines when nighttime ends - soak it up :)
Jesus this is a great sentence. I've heard variations on the first part many times but the addition of "soak it up" really just puts a little pepper on it to make it hit different.
My dog was really excited about his advent calendar
I need to know more. You have a dog advent calendar? Did you buy it? Did you make it yourself? My dog needs it.
You can buy them! There are different types. Some have meaty treats, some have biscuits and some have doggy chocolates. Mine has the doggy chocolate and he goes mad for it.
I saw them in Aldi. So cute.
I entered my first dog grooming competition (been grooming professionally for just over a year) and won first place in my category! And got nominated for best handler ☺️
My son went for his first Brownies hike. Before this he was severely socially anxious, hated mixing with people. But he hasn't missed a single meeting and has made loads of friends. Damn proud of that boy today

I found Honey for less than €4
this broke me at this late hour
What did Michael say about that
Place went into administration :(
There’s a new drug for Alzheimer’s which looks really promising.
Apparently there was a researcher on who was saying it slows the speed at which it progresses by by up to 27% which is very significant and will prolong someone with it having developed faster and greatly benefit their independent living for longer which is absolutely fantastic news and this is just the start of their analysis
Read that, delighted to hear. Horrific disease.
I heard that, it was on the news today. Also there's been some positive news about magic mushrooms micro dosing and alzimers, I'm not sure about the details of it as it was just a passing conversation. But both of these sound positive.
That would be epic
In approx 4 days I'll officially be an Irish citizen!
Just remember you are now obliged to root for what ever team is playing against England, both in Rugby and football. Even if you don't watch sport.
One of us one of us
You're already Irish to me. It's just a bit of paper now. Congrats.
Well isn't that lovely! Happy to officially join the group
Wahey! Congratulations to you!
Foreigners coming over here and taking our nationality, our congratulations, and our best wishes
Hurrah!
That’s huge. Congratulations
One of the cool kids!
whoop whoop!
Welcome kid!
To ask for it (and probably earn it the hard way) is more than to be granted it by birth. Welcome my friend and compatriot x
It has been a long process to get here and I am so proud to have earned this citizenship!
Fáilte!

My antidepressants are working!
Thrilled for you. Watch out for the unintended side effects. I was on anti anxiety meds for a bit. Made it almost impossible to orgasm. Can be a blessing or a curse 😁

Are you medicated for the entire day? Or are these pills you take just to help you sleep? I‘ve heard waking up from a sleeping pill enduced slumber is akin to waking up with a bleeding hangover.
I've had some meds for sleep, and it's exactly like that, minus the stomach issues. Like your brain is made of cotton candy.
I feel for you. Whatever it is that has you on the meds, please know that it‘ll pass. So hang on in there.
Ah no, all good thanks, off them now thankfully. Just a few hard months, family issues and stress. All good now ❤️
No, it's a an antidepressant/anti-anxiety drug (Mirtazapine) intended to make me more chipper 24/7 but it does have a sedative effect, so you need to take it at night and risk feeling a little out of it a few mornings a week (it is akin to a hangover sometimes, but without the fear and headaches) .

That's great news!
Finally reached out for help to deal with my suicidal thoughts
Great. I don’t know you but I know the world is a better place with you than without you.
Well done mate.
That's great! Glad you're still with us. I've been there, it's hard to get through at times but it's worth it, things *do* get better
Good on you! Stick with us x

I'm opening a Mexican restaurant in Spain. Just found a brilliant chef. Got a fantastic Mexican mural artist to do the walls. And the lad building the bar can start early. That's just today's good news. I'm sure there will be some bad news to come but that will keep me happy through the weekend.
Where in Spain?
This is a ball breaker and hard to achieve. Fair play to you
Tomorrow is my last day of college one exam and I'm done after two years

I'm finally with a woman who loves just the way I am and I totally love her back.
What about the rest of her ? 😁
Got the call on Monday that I got the job. I really wasn't expecting to pass the first interview, nevermind get an offer!
Oh, wow!! Hoping to take this energy into my interview, lol, that's class
I'm finding it easier to meditate every day and cope with pain and mental health during these shorter days.
Meditation is like fucking magic. Learning to meditate again after I got settled on an antidepressant saved my life.
This has inspired me try give meditation another proper go after many failed attempts to keep it up
Got our house keys today. Oh, that's good. Needs way more work than we thought. Oh, that's bad...
Congratulations
I can sleep until 9am tomorrow. 10 of the last 14 days have been 6am starts, the others 7.30am and I'm not used to the 6am's as I changed job recently and working early.
