Is this bowl still alive? How’s everyone doing in quarantine? I feel the additional stress from covid is lowered by the relief of having fewer social obligations

Alive but find myself running out of things to keep my mind occupied. The first two months were nice, it was a built in excuse to stay home and relax, but now I find my normal hobbies boring!!

Honestly I never picked up any consistent hobby. I’m simple - I go for walks, buy a magazine (anything that catches my eye on lifestyle, business, science), or find a channel on YouTube and go through their videos. Recently I found videos of families who live on farms and make videos about their day to day life. I find it so relaxing. Also I love videos where someone is building something and they show the process from start to finish. I could watch that all day.

Just restarted stimulants and already I'm dealing with twitches again. Does anyone else get these? No type of pain or anything just every once and a while my body will twitch strongly. Afterward I feel normal, but it's a bit annoying, and I can't control it at all which is a little disconcerting. Don't remember this from when I took stimulants as a kid, but it's been a while.

If anyone he has done extensive laser hair removal (I’m talking full body), how much did your treatments cost and was it worth it? I’ve always considered it but now that I’m in my mid-20s and 1. just don’t care about body hair as much as I used to and 2. am no longer showing as much skin as I did when I was younger and did sports that required it, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending all that money.
