@Zuzana_42 Proleženiny jsou neskutečný problém! Poznala jsem to kvůli péči o imobilní babičku! Jeden krok dopředu, deset kroků dozadu! Mělo by se o tom více mluvit! 😟

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Why are mothers of sons so obsessive and protective of their sons? Why can't they be this loving, when it comes to their daughters? Why are daughters expected to deal with everything and everyone? It really gets on my nerves! 🙅‍♀️

For those who are wondering why Czech is more difficult than English 😜

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Pets! I'm honestly still alive only because of them!

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Are people with lower IQ/not so intelligent aware of their state? 🤔

[Flora @FloraKvet]

People have no idea, what a pet loss can do to you mentally and physically! I haven't felt this bad for years if ever! Truly the worst week of my life! 💔

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Upřímně řečeno, všichni ti co si dělají srandu z lidí s duševními nemocemi, by nevydrželi ani den v jejich hlavě! Vůbec neví o čem to vše je a co to obnáší! 😡

[Flora @FloraKvet]

The fact that I have noone to talk to about my loss! My mom is probably already annoyed, my grandma is gone and she would get this absolutely, I have no family and friends, who would understand this kind of pain! I feel lonely! 💔

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Not with my pets, they're the reason, I'm still here! 🫶

[Anxiety @painotes_]

do you ever just sit there and realize that you mean nothing to anyone and you start feeling lost, alone, and unloved, and truly unwanted.

[Flora @FloraKvet]

How am I supposed to go on with my life, when the only creature, that made me happy is gone? 😢

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Not my sparrow being fatally injured on the 6 months anniversary of passing of my grandma! Why is this happening? 💔

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Please pray for my sparrow Pepicek! 🙏 He had an ugly accident yesterday and is badly injured! 😭He made it through the night, but is in a really rough shape! 🤕 I haven't felt this bad in months, if not years! 💔

Czechs LOVED Chuck Norris -- and these ads starring the US actor were a big hit about a decade and a half ago

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Funny how at work I'm all smiling and laughing and jokes, but once I get home, it's incredibly hard for me to function on basic level, my flat is a mess, I can barely get out of my bed, I sleep all the time! I want to live, but my body and mind won't let me! 😢

[Flora @FloraKvet]

When someone dies and leaves you here, and you get jealous of them not being here, because they don't have to deal with this shit called life anymore! Especially with how the things have been looking lately! Lucky much? 😅🙃😬

[Flora @FloraKvet]

This is so me and I hate it!

[☥𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐱 @Blaqlennox]

what's it called when you're very smart but can't remember anything and know literally nothing.

[Flora @FloraKvet]

The fact, he feels this safe and comfortable with me is my biggest joy and flex! Everyone deserves to feel this loved in their life! 🥰

[Flora @FloraKvet]

Mě fascinuje, co dokáží udělat s lidmi peníze a dědictví! Celý roky se nezajímají, nestarají, nepomáhají, ale když jde o peníze z vypořádání, tak jsou najednou k dispozici a s nataženýma rukama! Je mi z toho smutno! To máme štěstí, že nic nemáme a jedná se o desetitisíce! 🙆🤦‍♀️🙃

[Flora @FloraKvet]

They need to separate him and put him in a more friendly enviroment with kind monkeys! This is horrible! He's just a baby! 😡😭

WATCH - Heart wrenching scene: Little Punch was bullied again by a bigger monkey, who dragged her harshly across the ground. She cried and ran back to clutch her adoptive mother doll for comfort

your body runs on an internal clock (circadian rhythm) meaning your body has a 24 hr biological clock controlled by the brain (the hypothalamus)... it controls body temperature, hormones, immune system activity, hunger, mood and even alertness

so at night , this system switches into recovery + low alert mode and that changes how everything feels.

why sickness feels worse at night is because of lower cortisol at night, cortisol is a hormone that reduces inflammation and pain. high in the morning and very low at night

so at night, pain feels stronger, fever feels worse, coughing increases, asthma attacks are more common... the sickness isn’t worse, the body’s anti-inflammatory system is weaker.

there are also several reasons why many deaths happen at night; the body is in maintenance mode, heart rate slows, blood pressure drops and brain alertness drops... so if someone is very sick, the body has less reserve power to fight failure

why you feel more hungry at midnight or at night is because leptin (fullness hormone) drops, ghrelin (hunger hormone) rises, blood sugar tends to dip, brain craves fast energy (sugar/carbs)... also your brain is tired, so willpower is weaker and cravings feel stronger.

the raeson why depression and dark thoughts hit at night, this is BIG... at night there is no noise, no tasks, no social interaction so your mind turns inward and ruminates.

brain chemistry changes, serotonin drops at night, melatonin rises (makes you sleepy but emotionally sensitive), dopamine (motivation) is lower... the brain becomes more reflective, emotional and vulnerable.

there’s also an evolutionary reason that humans evolved to be alert to danger at night, so the brain naturally scans for threats and negative possibilities.

why everything feels more intense at night (general effect) at night: less sensory input > brain amplifies internal sensations, body is tired > pain and emotions feel stronger, logical thinking decreases > emotional thinking increases... this is why breakups feel worse at night, anxiety spikes at night, memories hit harder at night, overthinking peaks at night

there’s also a psychological illusion, when it’s quiet and dark, your brain has nothing external to focus on, so pain feels louder, hunger feels louder, thoughts feel louder, loneliness feels louder... the night acts like an emotional amplifier.

a fun fact, crazy but true, doctors and psychologists say: never make big life decisions at night because your brain is chemically more pessimistic and emotionally biased after dark

learn something. 👍
