What tea would you like to try?
rottenpawzies replied to ComanderZhabikKlavik's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
Hmm,green tea (⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷̤ꇴᵒ̴̶̷̤⸝⸝) !! Yes..I never tried green tea,but it looks VERY DELICIOUS -
Hi! What tea have you never tried but would like to try? If you try a tea that you would like to try, you can write your impressions here. I would like to try Pu-erh tea. And I also learned that there is orange tea. It is a little strange that I myself did not guess that such a tea could exist. I think that maybe I will try such tea soon. I think it will be delicious because I love oranges as much as mango

All of them sound like my cup of tea , depends on my mood. For example Flutters sounds awesome after a big stressful week if you want some excitement in your life after a more boring week dashie :p -

Sorry, I'm at work now and can't make tea, but I've already written the text. I'll post a photo of the tea in the evening if I can. Yes, I suppose so. Unfortunately, this will continue for me until I pass the Unified State Exam and leave the factory. I think dissociation will end for me when I enter university and never return to the factory. What kind of music do you like to play on the violin? If the teacher is too strict, then I would refuse him and look for a better teacher. I'm glad to hear it. When I found out about this situation, I wanted to support you somehow, but I didn't know how. I've never been in such situations and I didn't know what to do. I'm sorry I didn't support you at a difficult time in your life. The last 3 or 4 weeks have been the hardest for me and it looks like it's only going to get worse. The workload on me is increasing. Thanks to dissociation, I don't experience too much stress, but it's still very difficult. I'm attacked by procrastination and I haven't managed to fight it off yet. I haven't prepared for the Unified State Exam for 2 weeks. I need to do something about it. In general, I'm overwhelmed with a huge number of assignments at this damn job. Yesterday and today they tell me to do one assignment, then after a while they tell me to drop the first assignment and do the second, an hour later they come and tell me to go back to the first assignment, then they come again and tell me to drop everything and do the third assignment. And then they ask if you did the first or the second assignment. Are you fucking serious!? What the hell are you doing!? I think I need to write to the supervisor of our group at Technical School and ask her to find a job at another plant. But I'm not sure my parents will react well to this (I shouldn't care what they think about this, but unfortunately I do care). They told me to hold out at this plant for two years while you study at Technical School. Why should I stay in this hell that I hate if I can find a job in a better place!? And why do I need experience in this shit if after graduating from technical schools I'm going to study to be a programmer? If I could, I'd burn this factory down right now! I haven't been able to sleep well this whole week. I sleep for 6 or 5 hours. It's too little. I was also upset by one situation that happened this week. I won't go into detail about it, it's Top Secret information. I just want to say that it's sad to see people fighting over some things. What's all this for? Talk to each other, don't fight and don't swear, please. Life is too short to attach importance to any nonsense, even if it seems to you that it's not nonsense. Just try to calm down and talk. I think that this might be the best solution. This week is even worse than the others. -
Earl Grey tea, with a very angry and neglected amp in the background Still no Madoka mug, feel free to clown on me for procrastination :p I finally have stuff to report on so I decided to finally make a post again! Apologies for taking a while, I do read stuff on here, I just want to make sure I'm not in too bad of a mood before I post. I already shared with you my own experiences on PM, but I just wanted to add that I recently saw on another forum that I ended up accidentally describing a dissociative episode on another forum years ago when *I* was a child, cos apparently I felt very confused/"dizzy" and like stuff isn't real, which is how they feel to me these days as well. I didn't remember this so I was glad it was recorded on that other forum, but yes - I think a few of us have experienced dissociation of varying degrees... It's just a sign of being emotionally overwhelmed and unable to cope I suppose. But yeah it is a sign to maybe take a deep breath In any case things have been strange recently, but also in a positive way I suppose. I am happy to say I have started seeing my violin tutor again so I'm very pleased about that, and I'm even more pleased that despite my break from lessons she didn't see me develop any bad habits and she was even happy about my vibrato, so I'm feeling rather positive about this :] she's really funny and works with my jokes and demeanour, I'm really glad because I am actually rather scared when playing around a tutor but instead of potentially scolding me for not taking things seriously by joking around she is also relaxed and understands. I have heard some really bad things about the experiences of other violin teachers being too strict or scary, especially to kids, and that horrifies me I am also happy to report it seems my mother has stated she isn't gonna be selling my granddad's woodland and stated she will not sell any part of the property at all. I was so worried I ended up talking to my father again, and thankfully there's been no drama and it means I can discuss other such matters with him. I had heard he was considering selling his *own* parents' property which had saddened me as I also have memories of that place, but I didn't say anything then... Messing with someone's death wishes and a gift to me, however, was just way out of line on a moral level it's just a strip that would normally have been either farmland or just a passage to my grandparents' field but my granddad planted a lot of trees along the path when I was born so I could have them... Okay I'm gonna get sad now so I'll switch the subject but at least it was nice to stand up for him finally even if he's not around to see it anymore.

ComanderZhabikKlavik replied to Crypty Scribbles's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
Nettle tea. Thank you for sharing your story now I understand that I won't always have it bad. All bad things come to an end. You are probably right that you need to be gentle with yourself in times like these. I am usually never gentle with myself and I drive myself crazy like this week. Every day this week I slept 4 hours a night I worked a lot and this week was full of stress especially on Friday it was a complete nightmare. But on Friday I almost didn't care about anything. That day I felt almost nothing at all. And I looked something like this probably Or like this This weekend I finally decided to take a rest. On Saturday I did a dopamine detox and it helped me a lot, now I feel much better, but still this rest was not enough. I'm still wondering what would have happened if I hadn't rested? Burnout? But I already have it and it can't even bother me. Now I have almost no burnout, it seems that on Saturday burnout was almost completely eliminated -
Oh Commander, the absolute biggest hugs for you. First up that tea looks absolutely delicious! Several years back, depersonalization and derealization was pretty much a daily occurance for me. It felt like my conciousness left my body and I was watching everything happening from the outside and I was merely an observer to it all, it was paralyzing and I felt like I wasn't living my life. It hasn't happened in a while thankfully (except one night a few weeks ago it happened again which really freaked me out, I didn't want that to start happening again but I think it was a one off) remember to be gentle with yourself in times like this and give yourself care and compassion whilst you work through it and you'll feel better once you come out of the other end of the tunnel. It's cool you saw a fox! I have a video I think you'd appreciate, I'll see if I can send it. Please do reach out in DM if you wanna talk to someone, you seem really friendly and I'd love to chat more. I like those songs as well, nothing like a good song when you're feeling down. The guitar in the first one I appreciate.

Tea with strawberry leaves and berries and with red currant leaves and red currant berries. The text is large, so I won’t check it for mistakes. During this week I noticed signs of burnout. Emotional devastation, fatigue, sleep problems. Previously, when I had burnout, I could not do anything. Now I still complete planned tasks despite the burnout. Yesterday my parents took me to the village for the weekend and I decided to have a dopamine detox. Basically, I walk around the forest-steppe all day and also did Workout there. It's a pity that there is no horizontal bar or tree branch on which you can do pull-ups. I tried to read a book but I read only a few pages because due to the fact that I did not get enough sleep, I almost do not understand anything that is written in the book. In general, I feel emotionally devastated almost always. Now I do not know how to say it exactly, I almost do not feel this world. I only found what it is called on the Internet. It is called derealization. People with this feel like observers of their own lives. Many of them feel the unreality of their existence, the vagueness of memories or feel the automation of their actions and words. I wanted to ask here if it is normal to constantly feel the way I feel, but there is no need to ask anymore, I already realized that it is not normal. But I want to ask if you feel the same? I wanted to find a gif that describes how I feel, but I am not sure that any of the gifs are suitable. If I can say so, I hardly feel myself at all. Will this continue or will I ever get better, I do not know. The only thing I know for sure is that if I do not achieve my goals and do not go towards them, then I will feel even worse. I have long been tired of fighting with problems and for my dream, but if I stop fighting I will lose and then my life will be destroyed. Today I saw a fox in the forest-steppe. I wonder if I will ever be able to pet a wild fox? I would like that. I would like to share with you one of my favorite songs, which describes my state of mind this week and the last few years of my life in general. This song is "I Hate This World" (Я ненавижу этот мир) by Satisfakciya. (Сатисфакция) I will translate the text into English using Google Translate. And another song by the same group "Between Good and Evil" (Между добром и злом) What do you think about these songs? -

I forgot to write something else, now I have to learn Python instead of JavaScript, because Python is used in the Unified State Exam in computer science. I study Python from a book and from a video about solving tasks from the Unified State Exam and I read 80 pages of the book this week. I can now program better in Python than in JavaScript, I think this is because I had more practice in Python. I studied JavaScript for about a month. -
Tea Talks
ComanderZhabikKlavik replied to Crypty Scribbles's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
Tea made from Siberian fir needles and ginger. Hi everypony! The new emojis are just great! I'm glad they were added! I had military training at my technical school for 5 days this week. Usually they send you to a military unit for military training, but my training was held at the technical school. On the first day, they told us about the history of the army and the military regulations. After that, they told us to learn part of the regulations and recite them. On the second day, we ran 1 km, I was the first to run, then we went back to the technical school and there we talked about how to disassemble and assemble an AK-74, put on a gas mask for speed and put on a General Arms Protective Kit. This is what it looks like: I put on the gas mask before everyone else, I wanted to go home faster, but I couldn’t do it because I still had to put on the General Arms Protective Kit, but there was a long line there. On the third day we shot from air rifles at a target at a distance of 10 meters. The target was small and I could not see it with my right eye, but somehow I managed to hit the target. After shooting, we threw a dummy grenade into the distance. On the fourth day we ran 100 meters for speed, I ran 100 meters in 13.2 seconds. They decided to shorten the military training so it was only 4 days, and on the 5th day we had an exam in one of the subjects. I didn't prepare for it, so I copied it and passed with a 5. 5 is the highest grade. During these 5 days I did a dopamine detox (dopamine fasting) or you could say that I was in monk mode. After coming home from technical school I started preparing for the Unified State Exam. Having looked at the assignments there, I realized that I would have to prepare a lot, I don’t understand much about these assignments for the Unified State Exam. Every day during this week I prepared for 5 or 6 hours a day. I plan to prepare on weekdays for 3 hours a day, and on weekends for at least 7 hours a day and a maximum of 12 hours. My parents noticed that I was preparing for the Unified State Exam and said that I should try to pass the Unified State Exam and become a programmer. Now they are not against me becoming a programmer, it seems they realized that I am very serious Here is an example of a solution to one of the tasks in specialized mathematics: Unfortunately, due to preparation for the Unified State Exam, I will not be able to draw this whole year and half of the next. I want to spend all my time preparing because I am somewhat worried that I might get a bad grade. If I get a bad grade, I will have to take the Unified State Exam next year and work at the plant for another year. I am not going to be there for another year. I wonder if it can be considered a mistake that I entered a technical school to specialize in metalworking? I don't know, maybe if I had immediately entered a programmer, then maybe I wouldn't have even known about this forum and my thinking would have been different? Maybe it's even good that I have to overcome such difficulties now because it makes us stronger. Mistakes also make us more experienced and stronger. Hmm If mistakes and difficulties make us stronger, then I should look like this now: -

RiverStar replied to P1x3l's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
I would either choose Fluttershy or Twilight, depending on the atmosphere. Fluttershy would be excellent company with how both quiet and caring she is in treating her guests like Discord. Twilight would be an excellent mystery-solving friend to discuss theories together. -

Do svidaniya replied to P1x3l's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
My first choice would probably be Fluttershy, it may be a little quiet as I'm bad with talking but I'm sure we could bond over an appreciation of animals and nature eventually. The other would be Twilight because in a world full of magic I'd love to know more about it. -

ComanderZhabikKlavik replied to P1x3l's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
II would have tea with Twilight and Fluttershy. Since I love books and science, Twilight and I would find a topic for conversation. I would like to know what books she would recommend to me. At tea with Fluttershy, we could talk about nature and animals or maybe it would be the quietest tea party in the world. Since I am not very good at talking, I usually just listen because often I do not know what to say. I think that I could have tea with Twilight and Fluttershy together instead of separately, then it would definitely be easier to maintain a conversation. -

Yes, I go to technical school to appease my parents. I will graduate from technical school next year. My performance in technical school does not affect my exam. Thanks for the support! Yes, I am already focused on programming and I still need to focus on these exams. It's still hard for me to concentrate on exams, but I'll make preparing for them a habit Of course! 1. Wash the pine cones with water. 2. Boil the water. 3. Put the pine cones in a saucepan (or other container), pour boiling water over them, cover with a lid and wait 15 minutes. 4. Pour the tea into a mug (or whatever you want). I found this recipe on the Internet, there are other recipes but I have not tried them. I used to make tea with pine cones and pine needles. I remember that I made this tea differently. I do not remember exactly how I made it. Cute mug! Thanks for recommending this music, it's amazing! -

I've been talking to my Best Friend, @Ice Princess Silky <3 about my forum-related problems for a long time. I would describe her as a combination of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Rarity. Silky is a kind person who is very loyal to her friends and is someone who listens intently because she cares so much about helping you overcome your own problems instead of putting herself front and center which is something I've been very grateful and thankful for. I feel like talking to someone about things that have been bothering me has been very helpful instead of just letting my stresses build up inside. -

Now my votes aren't very biased, to have tea with each of the Mane Six would be a PURE PLEASURE. But, if I had tea with Pinkie Pie, I see things would get... random to put it lightly. And as for Rainbow Dash, I wouldn't get to enjoy my tea. I like to take my time when it comes to tea. But she'll be trying to get me to the adventure and away from the tea -

Self Improvement Tea
P1x3l replied to Ice Princess Silky <3's topic in The Cozy Cottage's Cozy Fireplace
Journaling helps me a lot too. Especially writing down my feelings really helps me. Even when its just „idk how i feel“. Sometimes i also draw my feelings. Grounding exercises are the best for me when it comes to heavy thoughts. Just focusing on how things feel or the way things look helps to keep me from spiraling. And watching some comfort shows like mlp to remind my brain there is good in this world is also a nice distraction after i calmed myself down a bit in heavy situations. And lastly talk with someone. Similarly to journaling sometimes talking to someone just helps get some weight of your chest.
