Vbulletin boards and general forum sites before the likes of Facebook and Reddit got big. Made a lot of friends on there.

Neopets was great as well. Loved the minigames.

Clueless. It’s one of the few films I can actually sit and watch all the way through at home. Witty, campy 90s fun. The fact it’s actually an adaptation of Emma by Jane Austen is the icing on the cake.

Things that help me:

• Having a routine- every Sunday I walk into town and get a nice coffee/cake and read for a while and just be around people. If I stay inside for too long I will start to self isolate.

• Hobby- I go to a couple of choirs during the week. It helps me get out of the house and it’s an activity that stops me dwelling on things. You’re usually too busy focusing on the music to think of anything else. Singing also helps you regulate your breathing which is supposed to help with relaxation and sleeping.

• Spend time in or around nature, even if that’s a pet. Being around green space can help ground you. Being around animals can be a massive boost. Go to the park with a book and spot dogs.

• Medication - this has helped me more than anything but isn’t for everyone. I also had a few rounds of therapy but didn’t get loads out of it, but it may well work for you.

Thanks for asking OP, I had no idea either.

I know on Tumblr it means ‘if you laugh you have to reblog’, but judging from the posts on here I didn’t think it was the same

I agree. Reading is a good way of acquiring both specifically. Read things together and then talk about it to make them think.

Also some schools do critical thinking/philosophy courses.

I would recommend against doing this because you will end up feeling awful. We poo for a reason. Please be careful.

That said, immodium and low strength codeine both bung you up- depending on where you live you may be able to get both from a pharmacy.
