I'm back on my bullshit.

  • I'm an American that moved to North Cakilaki and back to Florida, never to Puerto Rico or Colorado though.

  • The next gen is gonna be making fun of Gen Z by saying "formally Twitter" and Millennials are finally going to win.

  • Thanks! That's what I'm hoping for. My situation is that my income will be fine, just gotta figure out where to go. I like warm weather, Caribbean Latino Culture, beaches, mountains, communities, and having an airport to catch flights. I'm thinking a ruralish area in PR might be it. The Internet also says it has a pretty low cost of living.

  • This is a good starting point! Thank you very much

  • Good idea! Thanks for the info and suggestion.

  • Depends on the unit and whether it was over sized or under sized for the space, but restricting 60℅ air flow is a lot.

    Thanks for your response! I appreciate it. Do you know how I can investigate this further? I would like to figure out if I'm over-stressing my unit because I've been doing that for the past ~2 years.

    Another thing to consider is that if you later want to heat up the entire house, the unit has to work harder. Sometimes it can be more efficient to just keep the house close to your target temp.

    Heating up the house happens so rarely that I can't remember the last time I did that. It may have been ~2 years.

  • I have been closing 3 out of 5. Is that too much?

  • That's a good point I wasn't aware of, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. Another user recommended that I set the heater to run at a low temperature in case it gets too cold, but also to run the fan regularly so that the air moves about and addresses the humidity issue.

  • did you get the thing where you could hear your eyeballs moving?

    OMG yessss!! But it wasn't like I could literally hear my eyeballs moving. I wasn't a sound. It was like a feeling in my ears as if moving my eyeballs would tickle or vibrate my inner ear.

    I'm happy the stabbing didn't result in much worse. Glad you're still around 🙂

  • That sucksssss. I remember feeling the zaps for a few nights and feeling entirely disconnected from reality. I couldn't tell if I was awake or in a dream. I would close my eyes and fantasize about whatever I could to pretend I was somewhere else to ride it out. Then when at work during the day, I was pretending that I wasn't exhausted from severe lack of sleep. I would have to go to the bathroom to take breaks and recover a little and convince myself everything was okay. I even asked someone I got a long with to make sure I didn't look weird or did anything stupid.

    Seems like the withdrawal hit you a lot harder than me, so I can't even imagine how difficult that was to endure.

  • Great suggestions! I will definitely do them. For now, I'm guessing that I'll prolly set the central heater at ~62*F. That will make sure it kicks on when it gets too cold and will also move the air about the house. Once I try this out, I can see if I'd like it to be set at a different temperature.

  • I kind of like it being cold because I can cuddle up under a heavy blanket or wear my wizard robe.

  • I agree that burning oil would be a terrible idea. In this case, the oil would be in an enclosed radiator that is designed to function as an indoor heater. Thanks for looking out tho!

  • Oops! Fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out :)

  • It might freeze once per year...maybe. My area is surrounded by trees, so I think wind hitting the house is negligible.

  • It's a central a/c unit with a heating kit added to it.

  • I get that they work and are quite helpful to many people, but I will never take another SSRI in my life again. I hate them things. They make me feel dead. It's like tricking my mind into pretending everything is okay and jolly by becoming stupid and unaware to the reality of the overall situation. If I feel depressed, it's for a reason, and the solution is to address that reason, not pretend it doesn't exist or it's fine. It's like if you are in a situation where your leg is broken and can't heal, would you rather take an opiate to numb the pain or change the situation so your leg can heal? I guess my issue wasn't necessarily a serotonin imbalance 🤷
