#which is STEP NUMBER 1 BEFORE ANTIDEPRESSANTS

[holymolyfizzie]

i don't wanna derail @kityana's post about stolas's pill popping, so i'm making a separate one. but something kityana said finally made me think about something: "i'm still not sure if those pills are actually helping him or if they were just given to him to numb him to how shitty his life is"

I've wondered something related to this a lot myself. but Stolas takes his antidepressants with alcohol (and in the aftermath of alcohol, like at the end of The Circus), which is a depressant. taking antidepressants + alcohol at best just cancels out your antidepressants so they don't actually do anything. but both at once, at worst, makes your depression symptoms a lot worse. taking them together is the sort of stuff that college girls get yelled at for, but i guess no one told stolas. i wouldn't be surprised if he's been popping them like candy and upping his dosage because he was told they would help him…and then they don't because of the rampant alcoholism. which is to say that we don't know if the meds even worked for him at all (i'd argue strongly they didn't, considering his alcoholism only ever got worse and he kept taking more and more pills, like they never worked enough) or if they were a placebo while he was taking them

and this might be a bit too nuanced for such a show, but as someone who has suddenly gotten off antidepressants that didn't work at all, the withdrawal symptoms don't always affect mood that much (they did nothing for it to begin with) and they sure as hell don't last a full month after getting off. in fact, going cold turkey off of meds that do work for you shouldn't have withdrawal symptoms that last a full month (if you do, it's a Talk to Your Doctor moment). i just really wonder if Stolas noticed the lack of antidepressants after the first few days beyond the old habit of taking them, and if we really can contribute much of his mental breakdown to getting off antidepressants

but you know what he was taking religiously, that did affect him for sure, and that we haven't seen him touch in a month now? the alcohol. he was drinking during Mastermind, but he clearly hasn't touched it since the trial. Blitz doesn't seem to have alcohol around, and Stolas wouldn't ask for the extra expense -- he's being forced to quit. he passes up Loona's beelzejuice at the Sinsmas party, noticeably. the beelzejuice is brought in, and Stolas immediately goes outside for a smoke instead. he's not drinking anymore. and quitting alcohol cold turkey is an insane process, esp at his level of hard liquor. we're talking about disastrous health consequences and a whole host of withdrawal symptoms -- anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, loss of appetite, brain fog, hallucinations, and much worse stuff (in humans, seizures). it's impossible to underestimate the severe damage alcoholism does to your brain and body longterm. and a lot of those withdrawal symptoms stay weeks after stopping cold turkey

like, i don't want to detract from him going off of antidepressants; he needs and obviously wants working antidepressants, he's desperate for them. but i'm gonna be so for real, i've had my experiences going off ineffective antidepressants, and i've watched family members try to quit alcohol. an alcoholic quitting is a brutal, drawn out process that shakes me to my core. there are reasons a person still says "i am an alcoholic" even a decade after quitting. that shit's insidious in a way that antidepressants aren't, and it was affecting stolas noticeably more, surely enough to render his meds useless. if you want him back on antidepressants, then you need a sober Stolas first, and this is what he's FINALLY working on

so i think more emphasis needs to be placed on Stolas's recovery from alcoholism when discussing his mental breakdown, irritability, etc. the fact that he's doing this without rehab or other interventions is miraculous, nearly impossible. i don't want his impressive recovery (so far) from alcoholism to end up getting buried under the antidepressant talk ngl, especially when his getting off of alcohol now means that his antidepressants may actually work in the future and help him. this is something to be so so proud of!!

He's his what? (Pt. 5/6)

Aaron Hotchner x male reader fiancé

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6

Okay, got around to writing this one, once again apologise for using British English (probably). Tbh my English is a mixture of every piece of media i have ever consumed in English... so yeah, learned English with HP, CM and BBC Sherlock and more lol

I am pretty sure this will be the second to last part, but there are and will be other stories :)

“Does your partner take any medication, sir?” one of the paramedics asked as his colleague rolled in a stretcher. They hadn’t quite finished their preliminary examination when it became obvious the red stain on your lab coat wasn’t just anything to be ignored. When the bomb had gone off, it splintered into mostly small bits and pieces, yet, a not so small piece of shrapnel embedded itself into your right leg, just deep enough to not be seen right away, but considering that you had also presumably suffered somewhat of a head injury, they didn’t want to risk you walking on a bleeding leg. Which would’ve proven quite impossible anyways as you were slipping in and out of consciousness. 

Aaron glanced up from staring at your closed eyes to look at the paramedic, “Well, he’s on antidepressants and takes some Zomig when needed. Do those affect anything? I just know he can’t have grapefruit…” he replied, his gaze shifting back to you as he stepped back to give the paramedics some space to work, his heart clenching when he saw them cut away your slacks to look at the wound. He knew it was ridiculous, but those were your favourites, you’d found them while thrifting with Jack and the little guy had spent some of his precious savings to buy you some dinosaur suspenders from the costume part of the store. A week later, Jack had asked Aaron why you couldn’t just move in with them if you were there all the time anyway. That shopping trip, on a day where Aaron had had to leave for work but trusted you to take care of his son and was rewarded with the sight of you two asleep in front of the TV later that night when the meeting had ended earlier than he expected, seemed like it was ages ago. 

Aaron watched as they wrapped your thigh where the piece of the makeshift bomb had embedded itself in the explosion, his hands forming fists as he tried to ground himself. A phone rang. Aaron thought he knew the ringtone. The phone went silent, he paid it no further notice. It began to ring again and when he saw the paramedics looking at him, he realized that he did know the ring tone, it was his own phone, for goodness’ sake. He shook his head and with a glance at you being rolled out from the destroyed lab towards one of the ambulances, he took the call: “What is it, Garcia?” before flinching away from his phone as Penelope replied quite loudly, “Just letting you know I’m mad you didn’t tell me about your engagement, but I am more than ready to pick that bone with your fiancé because friends are supposed to share that kind of news and with all due respect, you are more my boss than my friend and maybe my soon to be friend-in-law because APPARENTLY you’re about to marry my best friend. Do you… please tell me he’s alright? His phone’s off, I can’t reach it, i just know there was an explosion, and well, i have a lot more information on why there was an explosion and who did it but i have no data whatsoever on-” 

“Garcia, Garcia, calm down, please. And… maybe don’t shout into your phone?” 

“Sorry, sorry, sir”

“First of all, I only proposed two days ago and we didn’t have work until today. In all fairness, I think M/N was a little preoccupied by Jack not wanting to go on his class trip because he was not happy to be missing out on all the fun he seems to be expecting from dad number two. Second of all, he’s… well he’ll probably be fine. They’re taking him to the hospital and I’ll follow in a moment. I think he’ll need surgery, but I don’t know when they can operate, he’s kind of… well, he’s high right now.” 

“Wait, wait wait, are you telling me Mr I-Don’t-Even-Drink-Non-Alcoholic-Beer is high as hell and I’m missing it? Dad number two? That’s adorable. Also, you’re saying surgery, why does he need surgery? Hotch, will my precious scientist be okay?”

“He is quite high, but also quite unconscious at the moment, you aren’t missing much. He’s got some shrapnel in his thigh, I don’t think they can just tape that and that’d be it. You said you had information on the explosion? I just heard the unsub is in interrogation and that he’s a crazy conspiracy theorist.” 

He began walking back out towards the parking lot, when he stopped and looked around the lab once more. He knew where your workstation was. He knew where you kept your things, but he also knew that the whole laboratory and adjacent rooms were still considered a crime scene. He couldn’t even take the framed picture of your little family, Jack on your shoulders and Aaron next to you, taking the selfie, not one of his strong suits, but the slight distortion and the fact that his own face was only half on the picture made the image adorable, your words, not his.

He turned around and left the room, stepping out of the hazmat suit as he listened to Garcia’s information spill. 

“Unconscious? Promise you will tell me if anything changes.”

“I promise. Now, what’s going on with the unsub?”

“What? Oh, right, right. Well, Richard Daren Williams, Dick or RD for short, 27 years old, studied chemical engineering before his mother passed away from cancer, was somehow convinced that L/N and Watts were working on a cure to cancer, had found it and were keeping it secret on orders of the state, or even the President, he’s switching it up a lot. His plan seems to have been to keep the two scientists hostage until they gave him the cure. His bomb activated early, we’re not quite sure but common assumption is that either L/N or Watts got a text and the receiver overloaded… Never use a radio fuse when unable to control the whole area, Hotch, at least that’s what i’m told. I don’t think neurotoxicity was Dick’s initial idea, but my best guess is he followed a TOR tutorial for a bomb and thought he had to include everything… This is the first time he’s done something like this, he lives two streets over from the lab. I think he suspected something weird when a new laboratory moved into the building just days after his mother passed… That’s all I have for now.”

“Thank you, Garcia.”

“Oh, and Hotch?”

“What is it?”

“I know it’s bad timing, but i’m really happy for you and M/N for the engagement. Not this right now. I think you two are great for each other and i’m only like a little pissed off that neither of you told me… I hope he’ll be okay, sir. And that’s all”

“I’ll keep you updated… and thank you.” 

With that he hung up and made his way over to his car, getting in and ready to go to the hospital when his phone signalled an incoming message from Morgan:

“Let us know if you need anything. Anything at all, even clothes.”

After that: 

“Garcia isn’t actually pissed, she is a bundle of joy at the thought of attending a wedding soon. But a bundle of anxiety at the thought of your fiancé being hurt. Dave says can’t do this again. You don’t have to. Call us.”

Then a third message:

“You won’t lose him. Not this time.”

When he heard a rumbling noise from the kitchen, the man finally woke up and headed in the direction of the supposed source of the commotion. As he approached and leaned his hand lightly on the kitchen archway, he immediately noticed a woman fidgeting with the electronic menu buttons, trying in vain to get the oven to work as intended. - I'd forgotten how stubborn you are, - he sneaked up at just the right moment and put his arm around her waist, taking in the warmth of her body. - And memories how you managed to start a fire while still fresh, - he watched as she tilted her head back, telepathically communicating her concern. The wheat head disappeared from his field of vision, giving way to the distantly familiar angular features of a face with expressively thin lips, which immediately broke into a disgustingly luscious smile. - Zof, doesn‘t look at me like that, - the hug grew even tighter, and their foreheads briefly touched. - You know you can't be within a meter of anything with the word "electric" in it, especially with a forehead so hot. - Ja nie vinavataja, što ty atačyŭ siabie roznimi technakratyčnymi zabludami j nia ličyš heta prabliemaju [1], - she whispered, involuntarily causing a sense of discomfort at the incongruity of her supposed outward peacefulness and assertive tone. - Nia hliedziačy na abstaviny, abudžeńnie - važnaja padzieja, tamu j adśviatkavać jaje patrebna jak maje być, a nie… [2]- before she could finish a sentence, her body was abruptly turned one hundred and eighty degrees. - Aliaksiej, što ty… [3] - It's better to visit the girl, - the man interrupted her. - She had enough discoveries to deal with yesterday, so I didn't want to burden her with too much information, - he said as he selected a suitable baking mode. - Unlike me, you will be able to answer specific questions, including those about your underground operations. - Ty maješ racyju, ale… [4]- the woman sighed difficultly. - Jana tak padobna na jaje… [5] - And she has father‘s character, - he chuckled sadly. - It is our duty, including to her parents, to guide and help her take her first steps in the magical world. - Darečy [6], - suddenly she changed the subject. - Čamu ty nie pjoš antydeprysanty? [7] - Is this an interrogation? - He asked aloofly, shifting his gaze to her grey irises. - Siabroŭskaja turbota, [8] - gritting her teeth, the blonde stretched out. - They were running out, - he replied reluctantly. - Skazaŭ by… [9] - she muttered quietly in response. - They don't work, - the man added, noticing her hesitation: - Don't pretend to…. - Usie robiać pamylki, [10] - woman assertive put her two cents. Alexei didn't force himself to say anything, silently running his palm over her cheek, either from heat or embarrassment. The problem wasn't that nothing had occurred to him, but the hypocritical underbelly of those thoughts. They had promised not to cross the line, as they knew perfectly well it was a one-way road, accompanied by guilt for both of them. One could not be let go and the other could not be abandoned. - I my nie vykliučeńnie z pravilaŭ, [11] - finishing the thought, she withdrew his palm and left the room.

Heat Stroke Symptoms and First Aid: What You Need to Know to Stay Safe

As temperatures continue to rise around the world, heat-related illnesses are becoming more common. One of the most dangerous among them is heat stroke. Whether you're spending time outdoors in the summer sun or working in a hot environment, it's important to recognize the signs of heat stroke and know how to respond quickly.

In this blog post, we'll explain what heat stroke is, its main symptoms, and how to give first aid to someone suffering from it. By understanding these basics, you can protect yourself and others from this life-threatening condition.

What is Heat Stroke?

Heat stroke is a serious and potentially fatal condition that happens when the body gets overheated and can no longer regulate its temperature. It usually occurs when the body's core temperature rises to 104°F (40°C) or higher.

Unlike heat exhaustion, which comes before heat stroke, this condition is a medical emergency. Without quick treatment, it can damage the brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles.

Who is at Risk of Heat Stroke?

Heat stroke can affect anyone, but some people are at higher risk, including:

Children and infants

Elderly adults

Athletes and outdoor workers

People with chronic illnesses (like heart disease or diabetes)

Individuals taking certain medications (like diuretics or antidepressants)

People who drink alcohol or don't stay properly hydrated

Common Causes of Heat Stroke

Heat stroke can result from:

Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially in combination with high humidity

Strenuous physical activity in hot weather

Wearing heavy or dark clothing that traps heat

Lack of ventilation or access to cool environments

Knowing the causes helps you take steps to avoid the condition in the first place.

Heat Stroke Symptoms

Recognizing heat stroke symptoms early can save lives. Some of the most common warning signs include:

1. High Body Temperature

This is the main sign of heat stroke. A core body temperature of 104°F (40°C) or higher is a major red flag.

2. Altered Mental State or Behavior

The person may become confused, agitated, irritable, or even lose consciousness. In severe cases, seizures or coma can occur.

3. Hot and Dry Skin

The skin might feel hot to the touch. Unlike heat exhaustion, where sweating is common, heat stroke can cause dry skin due to the failure of the sweating mechanism.

4. Nausea and Vomiting

Feeling sick to the stomach or actually vomiting is another sign of heat stroke.

5. Rapid Breathing and Heartbeat

The body tries to cool itself down by increasing heart rate and breathing rate.

6. Headache

A throbbing headache can be an early warning sign.

7. Muscle Cramps or Weakness

Some people may experience muscle pain or weakness, especially after physical exertion in the heat.

First Aid for Heat Stroke

If you or someone nearby shows signs of heat stroke, immediate action is critical. Here's what you should do:

1. Call Emergency Services

Always call 911 or your local emergency number first. Heat stroke is life-threatening and needs professional medical care.

2. Move to a Cooler Place

Get the person out of the hot environment immediately. Move them into an air-conditioned room, shaded area, or at least somewhere with a fan.

3. Cool the Person Down

Remove excess clothing

Use cool, wet cloths or towels on the skin

Place ice packs on key areas like the armpits, neck, and groin

If possible, immerse them in cool (not cold) water like a bath or shower

4. Hydrate If Conscious

If the person is alert and able to swallow, give them cool water or a sports drink. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and very cold drinks.

5. Monitor Their Condition

Watch for changes in consciousness, breathing, or behavior. Stay with the person until help arrives.

Important: Do not give fluids if the person is unconscious, having seizures, or vomiting.

How to Prevent Heat Stroke

Prevention is always better than cure. Here are some tips to avoid heat stroke:

Stay hydrated: Drink water throughout the day, especially if you’re outside or exercising.

Wear light clothing: Choose loose, breathable fabrics like cotton.

Avoid peak sun hours: Try to stay indoors between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is strongest.

Use fans and air conditioning: Stay cool at home or find a cooling center during heat waves.

Take breaks: If you’re working outside, take frequent breaks in the shade or a cool place.

Never leave children or pets in cars: Temperatures inside a car can rise rapidly, even on mild days.

Final Thoughts

Heat stroke is a dangerous but preventable condition. By staying aware of your body, watching out for early warning signs, and taking quick action, you can protect yourself and others from its serious effects.

Whether you're hiking, working outdoors, or just enjoying a sunny day, make sure you’re prepared. Keep cool, drink water, and know what to do in an emergency.

Conclusion

Understanding heat stroke symptoms and first aid can truly make the difference between life and death. Always stay alert during hot weather, and don’t hesitate to act fast if you or someone around you starts showing signs of heat stroke. Remember, your quick response can save a life.

A couple of years ago, when I was graduating from university, I struggled a lot with completing my work on time. My scientific supervisor, who was basically the Gordon Ramsey of my faculty (competent af, but the amount of pressure she put on you was indescribable), didn't make it any easier for me. I was stressed out 24/7 for a whole year.

The worst times were, of course, the days before deadlines. I was supposed to finish yet another chapter of my thesis and complete a hundred tasks and projects for my lectures and seminars.

I have a problem with concentrating on anything for longer than 10 minutes (which may be undiagnosed ADHD, a weird side-effect of my antidepressants, or something else - I don't know), so I have to be creative when it comes to time management. I have two time management tools that I created or adapted for myself. One of them is for when I have tons of work and several days to do it all, and the other is for desperate situations when I have only one day to complete everything.

Here I'll tell you about the first one, which is my favourite: it only requires a pen and a single stick-note (or any piece of paper, really, and it can also be adapted for excel and I’ll show you both variations). Here’s how it goes:

There is a certain number of tasks that you need to do - each one takes a different amount of time and is generally different in complexity.

I usually spend some time figuring out how complicated and time-consuming each one actually is and give them a score from 1 to 10 (or 1 to 5, it depends)

Then there is the number of days I have for these tasks: I subtract one for either rest or (more often) in case I don't manage to do enough in any of the days.

I divide the sum of points I assigned to my tasks by the remaining days and voila - I have a quantitative measure that I need to achieve every day to be certain that I can do everything I planned in time.

It's great if I manage to do more, of course, but overall, when I reach the required number, I can be sure that on the last day I won't have so much work that I won't be able to afford to take a break.

Plus, relatively large and complex tasks can be performed step-by-step without worrying that I have been working on one thing for too long without crossing anything off the list. For example, I might not have finished a chapter but I’ve done enough to give myself 4 points out of 6.

Here’s how my stick-notes looked like:

And this is my excel version of the method:

(don't mind cyrillic writing, these are mostly just disciplines I needed to know for my finals)

I hope it'll be useful for some of you. I'll make a post about my second-best time management tool sometime later.

Crash pad excerpt

How Obito becomes Hokage. (Background: everyone was accidentally resurrected after the war and Obito and Madara were put under surveillance.) I combined several ficlets here. @innovativestruggles

Note: this is a sequel to the fan comic birdsong, where Hashirama is a woman. In this fic she and Madara had gotten married and had kids. Also, Rin isn’t resurrected yet. Obito is living by himself.

-----

1.

"Apparently I'm cursed to be surrounded by idiots," Madara says, when he sees that once again he's being chaperoned by Gai and Naruto.

"Yo!" Naruto says, and Gai gives him a hearty salute. Madara sighs heavily.

They walk down the forest path, Gai spouting ridiculous platitudes while the Uzumaki brat laughs and nods excitedly. It makes sense that he's paired up with them: Might Gai was the only shinobi who managed to injure him, and the Naruto kid's strength rivaled that of the current generations' kage - which doesn't say much, but the fact remains.

"Oh, look! It's Kakashi-sensei! And look, there's my dad!" Naruto says, and Madara looks up and sees Obito being similarly chaperoned, flanked by Kakashi and Minato as they walk toward them.

"Yo," Kakashi says, as they pass. Minato's eyes close into pleasant half-moons as he smiles at Naruto. Obito keeps staring straight ahead of them.

Madara sighs. Somehow it's even more depressing seeing his protégé similarly neutered.

"Yo, Bushy-Eyebrows-sensei! We should do push-ups after the mission, dattebayo!"

Madara glances up at Obito. Obito shrugs.

*****

2.

Uchiha Obito wakes before his alarm.

He shuts off the clock radio, then pads barefoot toward the bathroom. The sun hasn't risen yet, and everything is shaded in a blue-gray hue outside. Silently Obito opens the medicine cabinet and methodically shakes open his medications - an antidepressant, a migraine prophylactic, and a pain pill for the lingering neuropathy he has in his face, arm, and leg. Closing the medicine cabinet, he looks briefly at his face in the mirror before dry-swallowing the pills, grimacing a bit before turning on the tap of running water.

"Yo," Kakashi says. He's waiting for Obito outside the apartment steps. Obito walks down the metal grated stairs, wearing the standard shinobi flak jacket in Konoha's colors. He doesn't wear the forehead protector, though - it feels dishonest and it makes him slightly uncomfortable.

"What's today's mission?" Obito says.

"VIP escort to the Fire Kingdom's periphery. Easy enough. Sensei is going to meet us at the gate."

They hitch their packs and walk.

The sun is starting to rise, its pale rays starting to peek over the lingering shadows. Minato is there, and he gives them a cheerful wave as they join him.

They called it a second life. Second chance, new beginnings. A way to redeem themselves; a miracle. Whatever it is, Obito has adjusted to his new life in the village. Even if his crimes were forgiven, he still has a need for atonement.

*****

His throat tightened the first time he spoke to Sensei in the village.

"Sensei, forgive me," Obito said, and his voice cracked. "I can never forgive myself for what I did, for hurting your wife and child. I understand if hate me. I can't help but hate myself."

Kakashi watched. Minato stood, the slight spring breeze catching his hair. He smiled and patted Obito on the shoulder.

"Water under the bridge," Minato said. Obito lifted his eyes.

"Sensei?"

Minato's eyes closed into two happy crescents: "I know Kushina would be the first to offer forgiveness, and my child is already grown, and quite fond of you."

Obito's eyes grew shiny with tears. "Sensei--"

Kakashi clapped Obito's back. "You always were a stupid crybaby."

And Obito laughed, wiping his eyes.

Now the three of them are a team - a formal team of equals, no longer tasked with watching him. He's accepted as a part of the village - people smile when they greet him and no one is afraid of him. "This doesn't feel right," Obito had said to Kakashi, in a low voice. "By all rights, the villagers should shun me after what I did."

Kakashi sighed. "I think you need to go up on that antidepressant," Kakashi said.

*****

They call themselves Team Minato, just like they did during their genin days.

They work their jutsus in tandem, Kakashi flanking their target on one side while Obito runs toward the other. One blink, and Obito's kamui swirls, Minato flash-stepping beside them and neutralizing the threat.

Afterwards, they sit at the base of a tree, eating a few rice balls and sharing a canteen of water. Obito is screwing back on the cap when a thought suddenly occurs to him. "Sensei?"

Minato looks up. "Yeah?"

"I just realized, Sensei. Physically we're all the same age."

"You just now figured that out?" Kakashi says, and Minato laughs. Obito glares and blushes.

"It was just an observation," Obito says. He tosses a stick on the ground and puts away his canteen.

They're coming back from the mission, Kakashi and Minato and Obito, and as they trudge heavily through the forest path toward Konoha, they see the shape of another three-person team walking toward them: Naruto and Hashi and Uchiha Madara.

"Look, it's my dad!" Naruto says, and Minato waves at them.

"Hello," Hashi says to Kakashi. Kakashi nods.

"Yo."

Obito's eyes track toward Madara's. Madara looks back at him stonily.

"Yeesh, that guy is really intense, isn't he?" Kakashi says, after they pass.

"Who?" Minato says.

"Uchiha Madara. Who else?"

Obito tosses a rock, walking a little ahead of them.

"You okay, Obito?" Kakashi asks. Minato looks at him, worried.

"I'm fine," Obito says. He keeps walking. "C'mon. We're almost home."

******

3.

Iruka sits behind his desk, folding his hands in front of him.

"So, as you know, your daughter has finished her first month of kindergarten, and," Iruka takes a moment, keeps his voice calm and measured, "there are some things we need to discuss."

"What is it?" Hashi says. She is sitting in the chair provided in front of Iruka's desk, but Madara has opted to keep standing, his arms crossed and a pinched look on his face. Iruka's eyes dart quickly toward him before turning back to Hashirama.

"Well," Iruka says. "Your daughter is...very advanced."

"Splendid. What is the problem?" Madara says.

"Ah, Madara-san, perhaps...perhaps if you just sit down...?"

Madara's eyes narrow. "I prefer to stand."

"Okay." Iruka rubs his neck nervously. "Well. The young lady is, ah. Is rather intimidating for a five-year-old her age...."

"Intimidating, how?" Hashi says. Iruka takes a breath.

"Well...she used her Sharingan against the faculty a number of times; she used her Rinnegan against a group of upper level students who were learning bunshin jutsus, and apparently she has beat up two genin who were preparing to take their chuunin exams."

"Splendid!" Madara says, while Hashi starts, "What?" Iruka clears his throat.

"As I said, your little girl is very advanced," Iruka says.

"Excellent. So we pull her out of this class and let her take the chuunin exams. I agree with this assessment," Madara says.

"Now hold on, she is still only five years old, mentally and emotionally, she's a kindergartner, so--"

"It is my understanding you people had children as young as four years old fight in the Third Shinobi War, unless I am mistaken," Madara says.

Iruka hesitates, "Well, Uchiha Itachi, like your daughter, was a special case, so--"

"So what is the problem?"

"Anata." Hashi turns around in her chair. "Just come sit down."

Madara glowers. He pulls out the chair and sits heavily, glaring at Iruka. If looks could kill - and on a normal day, Madara's can and does - Iruka would be completely annihilated right now. But because his wife is urging restraint, Madara keeps himself in check. He sits back in the chair and crosses his arms.

"So we have a choice," Iruka says. "We can either pull her out of the classroom now and assign her to a genin team, or we keep her where she is, so she can continue to develop socially."

"Pull her out," Madara says, while Hashi says, "Keep her where she is." They glance at each other. Iruka laughs nervously.

"Well, you two take some time to talk about it. No one needs to come to a decision, now."

*****

"I'm just worried," Hashi says. It's nighttime now, and they're walking down the street, heading back to the house. "The whole point of starting the village was to protect our children from unnecessary harm. Genin go out on real missions, there won't be anyone to protect her if she's in danger."

"She won't be in danger, genin do not do anything," Madara says. "The most she'll do is rescue pets or help frail civilians cross the street. She won't even leave the village."

"Aren't most genin around twelve years old, though? She's five. Those kids are going through puberty. What if they exclude her?"

"Then they will learn to fear and respect her."

"I don't think that's a good plan," Hashi says. They get to the house and open the door.

"Nii-san!"

Madara starts, "Izuna?!"

Their daughter is laughing, pinning Izuna to the wall with her ocular powers, her little brothers giggling by her feet. She looks up and sees them. Her face brightens.

"Mommy! Daddy!" She jumps up and runs toward them. Izuna drops to the ground.

Madara leans toward Hashi. "Hashirama, are you still concerned about those kids going through puberty?" Hashi shakes her head.

"I guess not."

4.

Madara and his daughter are hiding in the bushes, watching a merchant rearranging apples on his fruit stand. Madara points.

"Look well, daughter. You see that man over there?"

"Yes, Daddy?"

"He insulted your father gravely. Let us practice your katons to show him."

"Okay, Daddy!"

She starts weaving her hand seals.

"You set fire to his fruit stand?!" Hashi says, while their daughter laughs and Madara stands, arms crossed, aloof and disaffected.

"Do not worry, Hashirama. She only set the sign on fire."

****

"Why were you throwing rocks at our child?!" Hashi says.

Madara holds up his hands. "I was teaching her to dodge, so that she is not so dependent on the Sharingan."

"By throwing rocks at her?! Knives? Shuriken?!"

"Calm yourself, Hashirama, I would not use weapons against her if I weren't confident she'd survive."

Hashi crosses her arms. "I don't think you should be talking about our daughter 'surviving' your training," Hashi says. Madara frowns.

"Need I remind you, Hashirama, there are jounin not even half her skill level being thrown into mortal peril at all times. I fail to see how she's in any danger from a few loose rocks."

"Can't you just skip stones by the river with her? Practice her katons against wooden targets instead of people?"

"I fail to see the utility in that."

"Ugh."

"More to the point, Hashirama, I'm concerned you're growing soft. We lived in an era of constant war. You are coddling our children."

Hashi looks around. "Wait a minute, where are the babies?" she says.

Madara cocks his head to the side, where she sees the baby and the toddler playing with their toys inside his Susanoo. "I would have left them with weapons, but you told me not to," Madara says.

*****

5.

At the base of the river, an Uchiha child toddles forward. There is something shiny in the riverbank, and the child is curious. He reaches his chubby hands into the water.

Something yanks him backward, and the baby's little legs stumble. He lands squarely on his butt. The baby looks around, confused, then looks up. His face brightens. He reaches his little arms upward.

"What the hell am I looking at?" Obito says, as Madara picks up the toddler from across the river.

Obito is sitting next to Kakashi across the other side of the river, watching with growing disbelief as Uchiha Madara herds his children; one is strapped to his chest while the other one toddles around with a baby leash. Occasionally, he will toddle a little too far, and Madara will yank him backward.

"Have you seen his daughter?" Kakashi asks, and as if on cue, the little girl comes barreling down the trail, shrieking and laughing. There is smoke coming from behind the bushes and they both realize she has set something on fire. "He's practically a house husband," Kakashi says. He stretches, then leans against the tree comfortably. "Tsunade won't let him go on any missions."

"Why?" Obito says. Kakashi shrugs.

"Not trustworthy. And besides, Hashi-san herself is worth the strength of an entire platoon of nin. If something of that magnitude needs to be done, they'd rather just send her in."

"That doesn't anger him?" Obito watches as Madara shepherds his children away from the river. The toddler starts throwing a tantrum: Obito and Kakashi watch as Madara simply genjutsus him.

"I don't think so," Kakashi says, as Madara picks up the toddler the way he would a sack of flour, carrying both babies while his daughter follows him. "I think he actually enjoys it."

"Actually enjoys terrorizing the civilians in the village," Obito says. "I heard he set a local fruit stand on fire."

*****

6.

"She's too powerful. I don't think she should be training with the other genin." The genin team leader, a Nara jounin, is sitting in front of Iruka and Tsunade. A sweat drop forms on the Nara jounin's forehead.

"Powerful, how?" Tsunade says. The Nara jounin swallows.

"Well. The span of her katon is easily the the same width and breadth of an entire fleet of nin. She's so proficient in taijutsu, she's inadvertently nearly killed the other genin. She's turned playground equipment into weapons and when I tried subduing her with my shadow technique, she overwhelmed it with chakra and broke free. And this is without her even using her Sharingan."

"Oh," Tsunade says. "I see." She and Iruka glance at each other.

It had been a compromise: three days a week, Madara's daughter would stay with her kindergarten class, while on the other days she would go train with a genin team. The team was a typical one, three rookie genin and a jounin instructor, and Madara's daughter was allowed to tag along with them on missions.

"What should we do?" Iruka says. He and Tsunade go over potential other jounin instructors, people with ocular powers who could easily subdue her. "The Hyuuga can't seem to handle her, and all the genin are afraid of her."

Tsunade crosses her arms, leaning back in her chair. "I think I know what to do," Tsunade says.

*****

Kakashi, Obito, and Minato stare at the little girl waving in front of them. "Hello!" she says. "My Sensei says I can come and train with you!"

Kakashi and Minato don't skip a beat. "Hello, ojou-chan. How old are you?"

She holds up five fingers. "Five!" she says. She holds up her dolly. "This is my dolly! She has a pink dress! Can she come train too?"

"You have got to be kidding," Obito says. Kakashi elbows him in the ribs.

*****

7.

"YOOOOOOOOOSH! Get ready for the ultimate team! Me and Fuzzy Eyebrows Sensei and Old Man Madara, dattebayo!"

"Once again, in the springtime of youth!" Gai says, and he and Naruto chest bump each other.

Madara stares at them. "I am in hell," Madara says.

*****

Of all the indignities he must suffer, this by far is the worst. It also confirms Madara's suspicions that Obito was a consummate idiot, letting himself, a thirty-year-old man, be talked down by a sixteen-year-old with next to no life experience. That Uchiha Madara, the strongest shinobi alive, second only to Senju Hashirama, is being forced to be chaperoned by said sixteen-year-old is an affront to his senses.

"Sensei!" Lee's face is a waterfall of tears and snot, his lower lip trembling and his buggy eyes streaming. "Why can't I be on your team, Sensei?!"

"Worry not, my adorable pupil!" Gai throws an arm around Lee. "After this mission, we will continue to train!"

"Alright! I got the snacks, dattebayo! And the map, and the mission objectives, and--" Naruto pats his pockets. "Oh crap! Where are the mission objectives?!"

Madara gives them a withering look and holds up the pamphlet. Gai grabs it from him. "Ha ha! Looks like our resident grumpy grump is contributing!"

"Touch me and you will lose that hand," Madara says, just as Gai is about to clap him on the back. Gai and Naruto look at each other.

*****

"Madara-ojiichan. How come you're always in a bad mood, dattebayo?"

Naruto is walking with his hands behind his head, while Gai is running around in circles around them, counting reps and punching the air. Madara gives Naruto a pointed look. "You really need me to answer that question?"

"Is it 'cuz you miss your kids? 'Cuz I heard from Kakashi-sensei that you're pretty much a house husband, and--"

"Do the both of you wish to die? Because I can make that a reality," Madara says.

Gai starts shadow boxing. Madara glares.

*****

8.

There is a meeting discussing who will succeed Tsunade as the Sixth Hokage. A few names float around: Might Gai. Hatake Kakashi. A scribe writes their names on a white board while the council discusses the formal nominations.

"What about Uchiha Obito."

They turn. Madara is leaning against a wall at the entrance of the conference room, arms crossed and covered in shadow.

"Madara." The elders look at each other. "You were not invited to this council."

"I had a hand in the founding of this village. Well. You invited neither myself nor Hashirama, so I suppose I can't be too insulted."

The elders frown at each other. "Uchiha Obito has committed many atrocities. He was an S-class nin and kage-level threat. He was the one who put in motion the Fourth Shinobi War."

"And it was my understanding he sacrificed himself to end it," Madara says. "Well. I am not surprised. Council idiots would never put an Uchiha to power."

"Madara-sama, a moment--"

But Uchiha Madara is already gone.

*****

Obito is coming back from a mission. It's dark now, and he slowly walks up the metal grate steps to his apartment. He's tired and his body hurts, and all he wants to do is go to sleep after a long, hot shower.

"Obito," Tsunade says, and Obito stops, surprised.

"Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade smiles. She hands him some papers.

"I have need to speak with you."

*****

"Hokage?" Kakashi turns sharply. Obito is hunched over the bar, a drink in his hand and staring at his glass. "They've nominated you for Hokage?" Obito nods. "Obito...congratulations."

Obito lifts his eyes. Kakashi is beaming beneath his mask. Obito looks back down at his drink.

"I think I'm going to refuse it."

"Why?" Kakashi says, and Obito swirls his drink. He watches the amber liquid swirl, his reflection distorted in the glass.

"Whoever is Fire Shadow is sworn to protect the people of this village." Obito sets down his drink. "I was the one who set the Kyuubi loose. I was the one who nearly destroyed it."

Kakashi falls silent for a moment. And then, "Have you told Sensei?"

"I am too ashamed. I don't want him to know about it." Obito's voice is soft. He doesn't look at him.

Kakashi frowns. "I think you should talk to Sensei," Kakashi says. Obito hunches over the bar, not saying anything. Kakashi shifts forward.

"How long did they give you to make a decision?"

"Until the end of the month," Obito says. His eyes flick upward. "I was told if I refused, the title of Sixth Hokage would go to you."

Kakashi blinks. Obito pours himself another drink. "So," Obito says. He sets down his bottle. "Do you still think I should take it?"

There is the clinking of glass in the background, the sound of a wooden fan turning above them. Kakashi considers.

"Yes," Kakashi says, and his eyes meet Obito's.

"I really think you should."

*****

9.

There aren't any other missions scheduled, but Obito doesn't enjoy his days off. While Kakashi is buying erotic fiction and Minato is hanging out with his kid, Obito has nowhere to go other than the training grounds, honing his techniques and thinking of ways to teach their little teammate more about the Sharingan.

"You mean Madara isn't training her?" Kakashi is sitting on a fence, watching as Obito tries to come up with ways to use Mangekyou without hurting her. Obito kicks a post, a simple side kick, but keeps his leg mid-air, holding the kata in perfect formation.

"Apparently he told her not to use her Sharingan because she has a tendency to overuse it." He slowly lowers his leg, then straightens. "I believe she goes straight to the Mangekyou and the Rinnegan because she doesn't have as firm a grasp on the basics."

"You mean genjutsu and enhanced perception?"

"Correct." Obito twists his body in another slow sideways kick. He punches. "I suspect she's had the Sharingan so long, she has taken for granted its own set of powers. And Madara is too used to using his Mangekyou and his Rinnegan, it is probably difficult for him to dumb it down."

"Hmm." Kakashi leans back, crossing his arms. "You really do make a good teacher. If you never got crushed by that rock, maybe you would have gotten a teaching job like Iruka."

Obito spins and kicks the post again. Kakashi hops off the fence.

"So," Kakashi says. "Have you decided what you're going to do about the Hokage thing, yet?"

Another kick. "I told you. I'm probably going to refuse it."

Kakashi sighs, loudly. "If you're worried you're interfering with some long-seated dream of mine, let me assure you, you're not. I'd only accept the position of Hokage out of an ingrained sense of duty."

A kick. "I doubt the villagers would accept me."

"The villagers don't know what's going on half the time. You'd have to worry about the other shinobi."

Kick. "Thank you for reminding me."

Kakshi tilts his head. "You know, Obito, I used to call you a crybaby elite and make fun of you, but even before you woke the Sharingan, you weren't bad. I was even jealous of your katons."

"What is this? Rare praise from Hatake Kakashi?" Kick. "Of course I wasn't bad. I was just a part of a clan of geniuses, teamed up with the top genin of our class. Anyone would look bad in comparison."

Spin, spin, kick. The post bends. Obito turns. "That took me the better part of twenty years to realize that. A shame I nearly had to end the world in order to do that." He looks at Kakashi's bag. "Another ero novel?"

"Oh yes." Kakashi holds up the book. "This one's called 'Kisses for my Lover.' I hear the plot's derivative but the smut scenes are phenomenal."

"You know most men would rather just watch porn instead of reading it."

"I prefer to use my imagination."

"Hm."

*****

The sun is starting to set, and the village is bathed in a deep, rich orange.

Obito goes to the drugstore to refill his medications. Antidepressant. Pain pill. Migraine prophylaxis. Recently he's been having panic attacks, so his doctor started prescribing Xanax. "It's likely PTSD from the rock falling in that cave," the civilian psychiatrist said. She wrote Obito the prescription. "If you take it, avoid operating heavy machinery. Don't take it with alcohol or mix it with other medications."

Obito walks out of the drug store, clutching his bags.

*****

Nighttime. Obito sits over the table and quickly eats a store-bought bento, sitting in the dark and watching the small television in the corner. It's a movie, some romantic comedy where the plucky heroine goes off to find herself in a small town. Invariably she's engaged to some jerk businessman, but she finds true love in the neighborhood lumberjack she meets after leaving the city.

This annoys him. This isn't love, it's infatuation, and what about her poor fiancé sitting in the city? Why do the writers have to bend over backwards to make him a jerk? Obito frowns at his bento box, then takes a swig of beer.

There is something lurking in the shadows outside.

Obito's eyes narrow. Slowly, he stands up, lowering the volume of the television. There is the sound of something clattering, and Obito strides quickly to his bedroom.

In the dark, the window is open. The light curtains move ominously in the breeze.

There is a weapons rack across the bed, and silently Obito backs up and palms a kunai in his hand. Gripping the handle, Obito carefully edges back out into the hallway.

A black shape darts out, and Obito whirls around.

Obito lunges toward him and attacks, an explosion of power. The man blocks, once, twice, then whacks Obito across the face. There is a sickening crack as the man's fist makes contact, but Obito jerks forward, dodging the next blow and spinning into a kick.

Punch, punch, kick. The man flips Obito over but Obito catches himself, springing back upward and vaulting into a flying kick through the air.

Contact. The man staggers. Obito whirls around and punches hard, once, twice, the third time he misses, the man dodging and hitting him square in the jaw. They stagger into the kitchen, where it's too dark to see. Obito's Sharingan flares. He dodges, lunges forward. The thin light from the movie pulses in the background.

Slam! He shoves a kunai against the assailant's neck, slamming him against the wall.

Obito's heart is thudding fast. Who was this? Was someone trying to assassinate him? He feels his throat constrict, the weight of a thousand boulders strangling him.

He's on the verge of another panic attack.

Obito's jaw tightens. He struggles to keep control, forces himself to slow his breathing. He grips the kunai harder.

And then, his assailant slowly starts to laugh.

"Splendid! Splendid! I should expect nothing less from the man who lived as Uchiha Madara!"

Obito pulls back, shocked. In the dark he hadn't recognized him. Madara's face splits into a slow grin.

"However," a black rod slowly worms out from Madara's arm, then presses menacingly against Obito's stomach, "once again, you have left yourself undefended."

Madara gives him a small poke, then retracts, raising his hands to show him. "Don't get too full of yourself," Madara says. "If I wanted to kill you, I already would have."

Obito lowers his kunai and the two men straighten. Obito's eyes narrow. "What do you want?"

"You are my daughter's teacher," Madara says. "It is only natural that I would want to see you."

On the TV, the heroine coos. "Oh! I never knew what love is until I met you!"

"I heard you were the one behind the Hokage nomination." Obito switches off the TV, flipping on the light. He turns back to Madara. "Why?" Obito says. Madara shrugs.

"I have children in this village," Madara says. "You could say I have a vested interest." Madara looks around. "A bento for one? How pathetic. If I had known you'd have such difficulties finding a partner, I wouldn't have worked so hard to kill your precious Rin."

Obito grabs Madara by the collar and slams him against the wall. "Why?" Obito says. "Why me? Why Hokage? What is it you're trying to do?"

Madara smirks. "It is a shame you have to ask."

"You're trying to find a way to manipulate them."

"Hm."

"What did you do?" Obito says. "Genjutsu them? Use mind-control to manipulate them?"

"I did nothing of the sort," Madara says. He pushes off Obito's arm and dusts off his shirt. "I merely gave them your name. Those simpletons at the council came to the same conclusion." Madara looks around. "This is your apartment?" Obito's eyes narrow.

"What's it to you?"

"It is a bit small, is it not?"

Obito glares.

"I mean no offense. I just remember you not being overly fond of too-small spaces."

"Just tell me what you want," Obito says. Madara turns.

"You've grown strong," Madara says. He looks Obito over. "I'd like to think I had a hand in it." Madara's eyes track over to the grocery bag of medications sitting on the desk.

Obito knows, without Madara having to say anything, that Madara is using his Sharingan to read the medications. Obito stalks over to the desk and grabs the bag.

"Let me spare you the trouble," Obito says, and he dumps the contents of the bag onto the table. "This is an antidepressant. This one is an anxiolytic. This one is for migraines and this one is for the shooting pains I still get in my face and limbs."

"Is that all?" Madara says. "And here I thought you were overly medicated."

"You manipulated me and tried to kill me. I was just a child. And you were a fucking psychotic old man--"

"You make it sound as if I somehow violated you. All I did was give you one small push - I did not inspire anything that wasn't already there."

"Killing Rin was not 'one small push'," Obito says. Madara spreads his hands.

"Agree to disagree, then," Madara says. "Believe it or not, Obito, I believed her death could be negated, so long as we stuck to the plan." Madara turns. His eyes flick upward.

"The world was imperfect," Madara says. "We both wanted the same thing. And if it meant eternal peace, it was a burden we both were willing to bear."

"So even now, you don't regret it?" Obito says. Madara sighs.

"I regret that it was what neither you nor I had wanted," Madara says. He picks up a bottle of medication, glancing at the label, before setting it down again. "I do not regret the original plan."

Obito scoffs. "That's not what I hear you told Hashirama."

"I tell Hashirama a lot of things. It is her own fault if she chooses to believe them." Madara looks around. "Do you have sake in this sorry place, or should we procure it elsewhere?"

Obito scowls. He moves swiftly to the other side of the kitchen and brings out a bottle.

"Ah," Madara says. "Good." He pours himself and Obito a drink."You asked me why I had them nominate you. The answer is quite simple. The Hokage is supposed to be the strongest shinobi in the village. You are my protégé and one of the few Uchiha left. If it is a matter of strength, then the answer is clear."

Madara sets down the bottle, pushing the glass toward Obito. "But you're right to question if I have an ulterior motive, and I do. I'm doing this for my children," Madara says. Obito knits his brow.

"Your children?" Obito says.

"My children are Uchiha in a village that shuns them," Madara says. He crosses his arms. "Don't you know what happened to my daughter?"

Obito sits back, listening. Madara leans forward.

"She was pulled out of her kindergarten class because those idiot teachers at the Academy claim she was bullying the other children. But I spoke to her, and do you know what she told me? She told me they were making fun of her. That her eyes were that of demons and that as an Uchiha she should have died. Those children made my daughter cry," Madara says, and his face darkens. "I would have killed them myself if not for Hashirama."

Obito's brow furrows. "You are telling me to become Hokage...because your daughter was bullied by other school children?"

"I am telling you to become Hokage because this village does not protect the Uchiha, it treats us like second-class citizens.

"I have children, Obito. I have a little girl who loves her school but wonders why the others won't be friends with her. I have two sons who will grow up in a world that will look at them with suspicion and contempt. If there is an Uchiha Hokage, my hope is that it can mitigate that."

Obito watches as Madara plays with the glass in front of him, and realizes Madara is telling the truth. "I want to talk to my Sensei, first," Obito says. Madara scoffs.

"Oh? You mean that yellow-haired weakling you tried to kill when you first attacked this village? Fine. Go talk to your Sensei. But know if you don't accept this position, your true Sensei will be very disappointed."

"Fuck you," Obito says. Madara rises. He starts to leave, but stops by the door.

"For what it is worth," Madara says, and Obito looks up, Madara's back facing toward him, "I do regret everything that happened. We betrayed each other for no good reason."

"I want you to leave," Obito says. Madara turns the door handle.

"I will see you again when I pick up my daughter," he says, and he walks out the door.

*****

Minato is spending the day with Naruto, but he can meet with Obito in the evening. "He's going to get ramen with Iruka. Maybe we can meet for dinner?" Minato says.

The sun is starting to set. Above them, the sound of crows echoes through the otherwise empty street, and the setting light is red and orange. Obito stands at the top of the hill and sees his Sensei walking up toward him. Their eyes meet and his Sensei smiles and waves at him.

They go to a barbecue restaurant on the other side of town. Meat sizzles on the grill, and Minato turns it over with a pair of chopsticks, grilling the other side.

"So," Minato says. He adds more meat onto the grill. "What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Obito hesitates.

"Sensei," Obito says.

"Hm?"

"They..." the meat sizzles. "They asked me to become Hokage."

Minato's face brightens. "That's great!" Minato says, but Obito lowers his eyes. Minato asks gently, "Why are you not happy?"

"I am happy. I'm flattered I'm being acknowledged, but..." Obito's hands tighten into fists. "But I don't know that I deserve it."

Minato smiles. "You of all people deserve it," Minato says. "You've always worked so hard to be your best, and you always helped other people."

"Sensei I tried to kill your wife and child--"

"I know," Minato says. "But I believe you've worked to atone for it. I know you'd be a great Hokage," Minato says.

The door to the restaurant opens, Naruto and Kakashi walking inside. Naruto sees them and his face brightens.

"Look Kakashi-sensei! It's Obito and my dad! Let's go sit with them, dattebayo!"

Minato turns and Obito quickly wipes his eyes, which are red and swollen. Naruto and Kakashi come over.

"I take it you talked to him?" Kakashi says to Obito. Obito smiles ruefully and nods. Naruto tilts his head quizzically.

Minato beams, proudly. "Naruto. Obito just found out he was chosen to be Hokage." Naruto's eyes widen.

"Eh?! Obito-san is going to be Hokage?!" Naruto's face splits into a grin. He pumps his fist. "That's so cool, dattebayo! Obito-san is gonna be a great Hokage--wait, Obito-san?! You're crying?!"

And Obito laughs, his eyes creasing into two crescent-shaped moons, smiling and wiping his eyes.

*****

10.

It's the day of the Naming Ceremony, and Madara's daughter is excited. "They're gonna pick a new Fire Shadow!" his daughter says, and she spins around the house yelling at topmost volume, "Fire Shadow! Fire Shadow! Fire Shadow!" She runs up and down the hallway excitedly.

Hashi is supposed to take her to the ceremony, but his daughter insists Madara come with them. "My Sensei is going to be the Fire Shadow, Daddy! I want you to come see him!"

"Your Sensei is an idiot. Why must your father see him?"

"Because it's my Sensei, Daddy!"

Madara cannot think of a good argument not to come, so he loads the other two children up in a wheelbarrow and pushes them through town. His daughter cranes her neck, trying her best to look out through the crowd of gawking civilians who have gathered. Madara sighs loudly, then picks her up, putting her on his shoulders.

"Look, look Daddy!" his daughter bounces on his shoulders. "There's my Sensei! See him?"

"I do," Madara says, and his daughter laughs and kicks her feet excitedly, hitting him in the chest. Hashi bites back a laugh.

"Anata. That was a good thing you did for Obito." It's nighttime now, and Hashi turns and snuggles Madara in bed. "Everyone thinks you're so terrible but you actually have your soft spots."

"Hmph." Madara sniffs. "I had my reasons."

Hashi hugs him. "Because even after all that's happened, you're still fond of him."

"No." Madara starts to laugh. "Because I can tell that over-emotional idiot to take me off that stupid team with the Uzumaki brat and the Taijutsu idiot!"

"Eh?"

Madara's eyes glitter. "Tsunade has long refused to remove me from my keepers. Anyone she would have picked would inevitably do the same. Now that Obito is in power, he can remove me from that team and let me work alone and in peace, the way it should be!"

Hashi frowns. "So, this whole thing you did - the heart-to-heart, the grudging apology, the acknowledgement of each other's strengths and weaknesses - that was just so you wouldn't be watched by Naruto and Gai?"

"YES!" Madara laughs psychotically. "And it worked! It worked all according to plan! Everything fell into place exactly as I wanted! Uchiha Madara will no longer bear the shackles of mediocre idiots! With this I have finally exacted revenge!"

Hashi frowns at him. "You are such an idiot," Hashi says.

Blur - Avengers pt.1

Pairing: Platonic! Avengers x Reader

Warnings: ANGST! Alcohol, weed, self destructive behavior!! Depression (?)

Request: none

a/n: I WANTED TO TRY ANGst AND NO ONE IS REQUESTING IT SO (ALSO THIS IS LIKE WRITTEN FROM EXPERIENCE DONT COME FOR MY ASS PLS)

This is part 1!! Because I hit the text blocks limit grrrr.

It had been days you locked yourself in your room. You occasionally left to search the liquor cabinet or use the bathroom but that was it.

You had decided to stop taking your antidepressants, you didnt consult anyone, you knew what they'd say, it was a bad idea, you weren't ready.

Once the last of them left your system you felt absolutely worthless and hopeless. You hadn't felt really anything in the longest time, and it hit you like a ton of bricks.

You knew the right thing to do was to start taking them again. But you felt more alive, you weren't numb.

You picked up your old habits immediately. Smoking had always calmed you down, and the drinking just was a distraction.

Tonight you were going out. One of your old friends was visiting and you had no choice. You smoked before leaving.

On your way out, you attempted to avoid everyone. But unfortunately, you bumped into Tony and Peter.

"Y/n? Are you feeling okay?" Peter asked, clearly not realizing what you had done, he was innocent, naive. You wished you were the same.

"Im fine." You mumbled, going to walk past to the elevator.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Tony said in a frustrated tone.

"Some club." You shrugged, and with that, you left.

You walked into the crisp chilly autumn air, spotting your cab across the street.

Once you got to the club and saw your friend, you quickly made your way to her.

"Hey mama! Havent seen you in a while!" She greeted.

"It has been a long time hasnt it." You grimaced.

The two of you did shots and shots together, your mind getting foggy and you couldnt see straight.

A guy approached you, your friend had disappeared and as usual you just wanted to go home.

He was touchy and just too much. He kept asking for your number and flirting. He tried to dance with you but you made it clear to him you weren't up for it.

He was persistent, he dragged you to the dance floor and grabbed you and you felt vulnerable and scared. You tried to make it to the bathroom and with luck you got out of his grip and did it.

You grabbed your phone, who could you text? You thought of the avengers as family, they would be so disappointed. But you had no one else.

Which one of the group would be least likely to lecture you? You could already picture a lecture from Tony and Steve.

You decided to text Bucky. He might lecture you but he's also willing to help first.

'borky'

'Y/n'

'can youu cime pick me up, om in a situastion, im scsred'

'send address.'

You did as he told you.

'Outside. Do you need me to come in.'

You responded a simple no and gathered yourself, stumbling your way out of the club. You didnt see the guy thankfully.

Missing the door handle completely, you fell into the side of the car.

Bucky quickly got out and picked you up, opening the door and putting you inside and buckling you.

"I couldve done that." You slurred.

"Sure you couldve." He smiled and it fell the second he looked at you, he silently closed the door and walked back to his side.

After a 10 minute silent ride, you spoke up.

"I'm sorry Bucky." You whimpered.

"Its okay."

"Its not okay, I fucked up, you cant even look at me right now." Your eyes filled with tears.

"We can talk about it when youre sober, okay?"

"I dont want to."

"Talk about it?"

"Be sober."

You heard him sigh.

He didnt speak again until you got home.

"We're here."

You got yourself out of the car and practically ran inside to lock yourself in your room.

After an hour or two of not sleeping, you decided to just go smoke. It was five in the morning.

Assuming no one was awake, you grabbed a blunt from your room and went to the balcony.

You lit the blunt, taking hits until someone walked out.

Since it was your luck, it was Steve. You put it out in the ash tray.

"What are you doing awake?" You turned to him.

"I always train early in the morning."

"What about you?"

"Cant sleep." You mumbled. You knew what you looked like. You were wearing almost nothing, you hair was a mess and your makeup was still on. You hadnt eaten in days and hadnt slept in even more time.

"Are you okay y/n?"

You contemplated telling him. You stopped taking your medicine, the pills that made you want to live. What made life seem worth it to you. You knew you couldn't though. Telling someone was a bad move.

"I'm doing fine." You shrugged, turning to go back to your room, but he grabbed your shoulders.

He looked at your face, staring you in the eyes for a few seconds.

"Y/n..."

"All good." You struggled to smile but did it anyway.

He let go of you and you quickly raced to your room.

-

The next two days you successfully avoided everyone.

Your phone had several missed calls and texts from Wanda and Peter. Since you were one of the younger avengers, they were your closest friends.

All of the avengers knew you and your problems but you felt more comfortable around the two of them.

You decided to block out everyone, you felt like everyone would be better off without you anyway.

There was a knock at your door and you thought about opening it. You were high, as usual.

Another knock.

And another.

The door opened, even though you thought you locked it.

"Go away." You whined, and pulled your blanket over your head.

"Y/n!" Peters small little voice yelped.

Your room was quite frightening. Bottles of vodka and rum littered everywhere, clothes thrown in every spot, and weed on ever counter place.

"Mhm."

He walked over to your bed, ripping your blanket off you to realize you weren't wearing really anything besides underwear and socks.

"Have you been eating?"

"Nope." You popped the p.

Your head was more cloudy than ever. Your eyes were almost shut.

Peter quickly grabbed clothes to put on you and dressed you himself. He sat down on the bed next to you and tried to sit you up.

"Why not." He huffed.

"Because have you seen me. I dont deserve anything." You angrily said.

"Y/n. You need to eat."

"I dont need to do anything."

"Dont you need to eat with your pills?"

"If I was taking them, yeah."

"You went off them?"

"Duh."

He looked at you with sad eyes.

"Please eat, I'll go whever in the city to get whatever you want." He begged.

"No, Peter."

"Yes, y/n."

"I'll just go to the kitchen." You groaned, shifting and standing up.

Your knees gave out after your first step. You bit your lip and tried to stop the tears in your eyes, had you really let it get this far?

How Love Dies- 1

*6 months later*

E T H A N

I looked out the window in my room, which gave me a full view of the street. The one advantage of having you room at the front of your house, is how you can see the sunsets every day. Having the golden light hit your walls.

Like every other day in the past 12 months, I've been watching the sunsets.

I hear the door creak open, then a deep voice. "Seriously dude?"

"What? I asked Grayson without turning around.

"It's been 6 months, get over her," he explained as he sat beside me. He looked out the window as well, and I could tell that even he was mesmerized.

"I am over her- I've been dating Raman ever since we broke up. I think that counts as 'getting over her'," I implied. Grayson sighed, and looked over at me.

"Really? Why are you watching the sunset, huh? Isn't that something Tanya used to do?" he interrogated.

I turned to loom at him, breaking my gaze from the sunset, and crossed my legs. I sat with my hands in my lap, slouching. "I don't know, it's a habit."

Which it was. I never really payed attention to the sunset, until I was with Tanya. I usually only watched it with her at my place, but never otherwise; now, I can't stop.

Grayson raised his eyebrow. You could sense the awkwardness between us. "Well, if you're over her, you wouldn't mind me asking her out? Or would you?"

I felt a tiny twinge in my stomach, but chose to ignore it.

"She's going to say no, Gray," I tried to explain to him, in order to get him to not do it.

"Obviously you would think so... 'cause you're not over her," he stated.

"What do I need to do to prove that I'm over her!?" I snapped.

"Nothing... I already know-"

"Know what, Grayson!?" I exclaimed.

"I already know what impact it's made... you've been different ever since then. Watching the sunsets and all," he informed, as he glanced out the window.

I couldn't argue against it.

In result of my silence, Grayson got up and left. He made sure to slam the door shut, in order to prove he was frustrated.

I groaned, and followed behind him shortly after. I ran down the stairs, and to the kitchen. Grayson leaned on the counter, as he watched mom prepare dinner.

"Mom!" I called.

"Yes?" she responded.

I leaned over the counter like Grayson," Do you think that I've changed?"

Grayson gives me a look, but I smirk when I hear my mom respond, "Not really, sweatheart."

"Thank you, now if you excuse me," I walked over to the pantry and grabbed a box of Oreo's, and stuffed one in my mouth," I'll be in my room, preparing for the retreat."

I bolted up the stairs, and closed my door. I walked over to my Bluetooth speaker, and randomly tapped on a playlist. As soon as the song came on, I realized whose it was. (Play music)

Tanya's.

T A N Y A   * the next day *

I swung open the big red doors of the school, and enter the madness of the main hallway. I passed multiple groups, who obviously looked over at me, but made it look like they weren't. I knew what they all were thinking.

Here comes the girl who dated the most popular guy in our grade, but got cheated on.

Yup, I've been getting that look ever since November.

But it's been 6 months, I couldn't care less.

Along with having no boyfriend, I'm also stuck with no friends. After my best friend turned out to be a backstabbing bitch, I never really trusted anyone again. I chose to stay alone, rather than have anyone break my heart again.

I stopped in front of my locker, and grabbed my math Textbook and notebook. I love math, but I hate having it in the morning.

I slam it shut, and make my way to Ms. Jeffries class. I looked down at my notes while I walked, trying to review for the test today.

In a blink of an eye, my stuff goes flying everywhere, and I'm left fallen on the floor. I rubbed my head, as a hand extended out towards me. I took it, and got up.

"You should really watch where you're going," I heard a familiar voice say as I looked into deep brown eyes.

"Thanks," I said coldly as I took my books back from Grayson. He smiled, but I looked away.

"Hey," he said getting my attention back.

"What?" I ask rather a bit to rudely.

"Chill, I was just wondering if you want to, um, go out some time?" he asked nervously.

"Ha, just to be betrayed by dolan number two? No thanks," I rejected, and left. He looked a little hurt, and I turned away. Soon, I'm yanked back by a pull on my arm.

"Ow," I wince as I rub my arm. Grayson stepped closer, only inches away. (or centimeters? I'm canadian smh)

He looked into my eyes a bit longer than her should have, and then looked around to see if anyone was listening.

"Listen, I'm sorry," he said softly, so only the two of us could hear. "I should have told you , and I was stupid enough to let Ethan do it, let alone tell you I-" he began to ramble. I stopped him.

"Dude, chill," I calmed him. " Thanks for apologizing and all, but I don't think we could ever be friends again."

I walked away, leaving Grayson standing there. I wanted to look over my shoulder, but I look straight ahead, keeping a brave face. It hurt me how I just left him there alone, but the pity was quickly washed away after I walk through the class doors.

E T H A N

I waited for Grayson at out regular table. Our table is in the centre, which makes it hard for us not be watched while we eat, and have fun.

Aaron, Nate, and I waited for Grayson and Alex to come. We spent the time being throwing Takis Fuego, aiming at each others mouths. Nate caught one, but then began to pant for water, exclaiming that the heat was too much.

"What are you guys doing?" I heard a familiar voice ask.

I smile as I turn around to look at Raman. She slid in between me and Aaron, and kissed me on the lips.

"I missed you," she mumbled in between kisses.

"So did I," I respond, before making out again.

"Ewww," Grayson gagged as he sat beside her. " No more PDA, guys."

The two of us broke apart, laughing a little. I shook my head for a bit, and then looked down at the pizza slice in the red tray. I pushed it away, "They expect us to think this is food?"

They agreed with me, then Raman began running her hands though my short hair. "I miss your long hair."

"Yeah," Alex said. "Why did you cut it?"

Grayson looked over at me, and gave me a look the screamed you-better-tell-them. I looked down into my lap.

"I don't know? I guess... I just wanted something different," I lied. Grayson rolled his eyes, and continued to eat the 'pizza'.

(Flashback btw)

We laid on my bed, and she rested her head on my chest. My hands lightly stroked her back, and she looked up at me. She ran her hands through my hair, paying extra attention to my streak of purple. "Long hair looks good on you, you look maybe 1 percent less ugly."

I put my hand over my chest, and opened my mouth to form an 'O'. "Excuse me?!"

"Wh-hat?" she replied even more dramatically.

"What the fuck did you just say?" I say, getting up.

She broke into a fit of giggles. "I was just saying that you looked very handsome sir."

"Good, and it should stay that way," I whispered as I crawled on top of her, and began to kiss her hungrily.

(End of flashback)

"Earth to Ethan!?" Nate exclaimed. I looked up, and realized i just zoned out in front of everyone... again.

"I gotta go," I said, rushing as far away from the cafeteria as I could. Once I was in a hallway, quiet enough that no one was there, I pull out my antidepressants from my backpack pocket, and grab a bottle of water from the second pocket.  I run over to my locker, and open it wide, so I could block my face.

I unscrew the lid of my water bottle, and hold the green pill in the palm of my hand. I look both ways, then place the pill on the tip of my tongue. I drown the pill down with water, and wipe the water off the edges of my mouth.

A voice startles me. "Why did you send Grayson to apologize? You know its not going to work."

I turn around, and come face to face with Tanya. I look at her shoulders, where her newly cut hair hovered a little above them. I was so used to her long hair, at first couldn't even recognize her. Her deep brown eyes pierced into mine.

"I didn't send him," I stated coldly, turning back to shove my water bottle and the container of pills into my locker.

"Really? And aren't you not supposed to have more than 2 pills a day?" She further questioned. I look at her blankly, at awe how she still remembers. It took me too long to reply, so she walked off after rolling her eyes.

She was wearing blue jeans that were ankle cuffed, and a red shirt that was tucked in. her hair was spiraling in majestic curls, and her black horn-rimmed glasses were slowly falling down her face. My eyes followed her as she slowly disappeared in the hallway.

She changed.

A lot.

Everything died inside of me when  we broke up.

But that's How love dies

FIRST CHAPTER! 1672 WORDS!

[emethelp]

hello! i'm desperately in need of some support and understanding right now from someone who also has emet. I got prescribed a small dose of Prozac and ranitidine earlier today to test the waters for generalized anxiety/stomach issues that may or may not be related to anxiety. I was reading up on them just to be safe and saw the number one side effect of Prozac is ...you know. I know this medicine will probably help me a lot and I've seen ranitidine helps with it, but I'm still terrified (1/2)

(2/2) to even start taking it. do you have any tips that could possibly help? thank you so much in advance

Hi so this was probably from months ago as I’ve just logged into this blog for the first time in a while, BUT, I still this is worth answering as I’m sure it’s a very common problem.

I’ve actually been in this exact situation before.  When I was 19 I started taking Zoloft, which is also an SSRI, and has very similar side effects.  I was TERRIFIED. I waited weeks after getting the pills to gather up the courage to take the first one.  And when I did - I was absolutely fine.

I can’t guarantee that the Prozac won’t make you feel ill, but unless you already have a very weak stomach, the chances of it making you v* are very very slim to none.  I know it’s terrifying to put yourself in such a vulnerable position where your body’s reaction to a new medication is totally out of your control, but antidepressants can and will change your life and will likely not come with any major side effects.

I do have several things you can do to help decrease the chances of you feeling at all after taking your first dose:

It seems counterintuitive, but make sure you eat just before taking it.  It will be much easier on your stomach if there’s already something being digested.  I would suggest a piece of toast or some crackers.

Start on the very smallest dose possible.  Ask your doctor if you can start on even half of the normal starting dose, or if you are able to break the pill in half (e.g. if it’s not a capsule), it’s totally safe for you to do so and try building up to the regular starting dose.

Relax.  Chances are any initial illness or unease you feel is a placebo.  Starting medication is a scary step but a really important one for your recovery, and I’m proud of you and anyone else who’s at the same stage for making it this far!

Why Should You Take Reiki Training

To comprehend Reiki, you should be predictable and practice it day-to-day for a while. Just this way, you'll grasp Reiki and its significant advantages: advancement of wellbeing, upgrading of the feeling of importance throughout everyday life, and further development of health and sickness anticipation.

  Other experiences are not required for regular recuperation or wellbeing. All you really want is an inspirational perspective and some persistence since you want to supplant your feelings of trepidation and stress with acknowledgment and trust. In this way, you will take charge of your happiness and well-being. Reiki will assist you with spreading that positive energy through your whole body; your psychological barriers can just vanish, and you'll push ahead and return to a better brain and body.

  This berserk world is requesting that we live under unnatural time constraints and tension. Stress is presently viewed as a typical part of life, yet how much individuals with determinedly elevated degrees of stress experience is expanding, and this is prompting a large number of serious medical conditions whenever left untreated.

  Try these 5 fundamental steps toward access and changing your way of life for a better future:

1. Go for a walk, run, cycle, or even a walk around the nearby field or nursery on a regular basis. Going out into nature is supposed to be as successful at treating mild to moderate sadness and significantly more affordable and habit-forming than antidepressants, which can have negative side effects. Our bodies shout out for long strolls on the oceanfront or in the woods or by the stream. After all, it is these events, when we slow life down to a characteristic speed, that permit our psyche and body to recuperate.

  2. Trade an hour daily before a PC or television and accomplish something unwinding and troubling away from 27/7 on the web or disconnected interchanges. Find a favorite spot and set aside time to appreciate everything about it and all of its insider facts to help you slow down to a more regular pace of living. Consider your breathing and how your body feels; perhaps play some relaxing music; and concentrate on letting go of any worries from the day.

  3. Try to eat as consistently as possible and make no-preparation feasts utilizing regular raw fixings like foods grown from the ground and low-fat meat and fish. Attempt to drink a lot of liquids that don't contain caffeine, liquor, or sugar consistently over the course of the day.

  4. Reconnect with wild creatures and plants. Petting a dog or cat, watching birds fly, or having a simple pot of blossoms on a windowsill can all be extremely beneficial for recuperation.

  5. Reconnect with your normal, whole self. Any training like Reiki recuperating and comparative therapies, which bring our consideration back to our bodies, our circulatory system, our stomach-related processes, and our breath, offers delivery from the upsetting and unsafe current way of life in which we find ourselves today. When we find a sense of peace with our animal bodies, our spirits usually communicate with our more significant soul, with which we are well established.

just gonna post this unfinished:

Alright, fine. Here's the status report, in no particular order:

I'm back in Seattle. I wrote a blog post on the flight back from Windsor, which I have to make a few edits to (adding a few links, etc).

A good number of months ago, I went to the dentist. (I still don't brush my teeth more than once a week, which in typical fashion I was thinking would change after I went. My track record for changing my habits by consciously trying to change my habits is, literally since as far back as I can remember, entirely failures.)

The dentist seems like a competent doctor and perfectly nice person – more than that, really, as he did go out of his way to ask patients if they didn't like dentist visits and what he could do to help. However, his bedside manner really doesn't work for me in that he doesn't give the patient any information or give really any opportunity for questions. So while I'm sure he's right in his medical care and all, I don't have any level of emotional trust for him.

This is a problem because he referred me to an oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth removed. So I'm supposed to do that, but it sure is easy to avoid a major medical procedure when you don't have any information about it or trust in the one saying you should do it.

Similarly, I went to my GP a while ago and got a referral to a... I don't actually remember exactly what, but it's for my anus. Probably should follow up on that, but I haven't had as much of the problem it's for, so again, it sure is easy to avoid.

Thirdly in the "medical stuff" category, I feel like I should probably be going to regular therapy/counseling of some kind. For, y'know, the "avoiding stuff" thing, among what I'm sure is a multitude of other repressed things. And maybe consider an antidepressant or somesuch (which would be through that avenue as well).

In the small category of potentially enjoyable things, I'm tempted to look for piano lessons. I do have a long and storied history of hating things I'm not yet good at, but if I stuck with it, I bet music could be a really enjoyable thing. Oh wait, I haven't stuck with anything of any kind in my entire life. Potential problem there.

As far as school goes, I was supposed to sign up for [something] at Seattle Central College... let's see, it opened on the 21st, so a week ago. I did 'enroll' before I left for Windsor, but never having actually used my online account, it's screwed up in some way, which I presumably have to contact the college to fix. However, I didn't see anything on the class list that actually sounds enjoyable or useful, I don't know if anything will be available (very likely yes, but not being sure it's an easy excuse), there are probably a lot of unpleasant steps like getting my old transcripts sent to the college that I was supposed to have done ages ago, none of the people at the college were at all nice when I did go so I don't want to talk to them again, and anything involving being a student makes me have really avoidant, and usually self-destructive, reactions. So that's a good time.

Thanks, high school experience. Also, fuck you, high school experience.

(Nota bene: I've never had suicidal or dangerous urges, and if I ever do I'll seek a lot more help than I do now. Avoidance is obviously bad, but at least it doesn't really get worse than "don't do the thing or any related things.")

I am pretty angry pretty much all of the time, though. I have a really excellent mostly-finished post about this from the beginning of the year when I was planning to post something every day (didn't work out, obviously). But I think that's separate from the previous paragraph. Mostly I'm angry that so many things are unfair to and hurt people I care about and innocent people who I don't know but nevertheless care about in some abstract way. And that I feel helpless to change that.

...Well, and that my previously addressed issues prevent me from helping to change things. I take it back, it's totally connected to the previous paragraph.

I have a lot of guilt. I don't really know how much, because it's one of those things that's debilitating to try and fully consider and I've been down that road before in high school. I will absolutely grant that addressing your faults and stuff is necessary and that you can't just live ignoring them forever (common theme in fictional media, it seems), but pushing it down the road is nice compared to last time when it broke me. This is why I probably need professional help, I imagine.

Short list of topics, though:

...eh, actually let's come back to that. It's actually pretty difficult to enumerate them into a list, not even in the emotional sense, just in the "hmm what were they again" sense. I can just flag 'em as I remember 'em.

Continuing: Rebecca's mental and financial situation. Financial first: the poor treatment of and lack of opportunities given to ~minimum wage, what gets called "unskilled" even though that's fucking bullshit, workers pisses me the fuck off. Like I said, I'm always angry – and on reflection, I think I tend to come across as uncaring about things that actually make me angry because given the choice between expressing a destructive emotion destructively and not expressing it and trying to stay levelheaded, I pick the second. The "be constructive" and "express that the emotion is there to show people you care without letting it control and overwhelm you" options that logically I know exist are... well, difficult and risky.

I remember when my mom was basically like, "oh, so you get upset a lot about this one person's situation?" And: sure, yes, of course I do, why wouldn't I? But I see that situation applied to literally billions of people in the world and I'm upset on all of their behalfs. She almost certainly wasn't implying that it *only* bothers me because I have a personal connection with someone in the situation I'm upset about, but it kind of sounded like it in the moment, and I'm damn offended if anyone actually thinks that about me. Oh well. Anyway, hi, I have far left political leanings because apparently "people who have hard lives should have easier ones, we as a society can make that happen on a large scale so we should" is an extremist position? What?

Aaaaaaannyway getting back to the status report. I feel guilt (1) about my lack of educational credentials and independence because they would allow me to help Rebecca's situation, and those of all of my friends, and those of people I don't know too. I literally have a note titled "what to do when you have your own money" which basically just says "help people." That's the only way I could feel good about myself.

But when the only way you can feel good about yourself is (okay, 'feels', not necessarily 'is') behind a door that makes you want to react self-destructively... it doesn't feel like there's any path that'll make you feel good about yourself. It just makes you feel hopeless, and angry, and like you don't want it to be this way, and that's close enough to feeling like you want it all to stop that it's easy to conflate the two.

Remember, if you feel this way too: They're *not* the same. It's a normal thing to mix those feelings up, but it's not true. Remember that.

Moving on. Rebecca's medical situation is... hm. I'll kind of write this out backwards because it's easier to recount that way. The post I wrote on the plane (I'll post it after this) is about, among other things, finance, and how I make financial decisions with the indefinite amount of resources available to me.

Rebecca doesn't have sufficient medical care for their mental health. Not by a small margin or in an unimportant way. Some of the reasons for this are financial, and of course some are not. The ones that are financial are, in my mind, things I have the ability to solve, and that it would be the financially responsible thing for that to happen. I have zero doubts about this.

I won't go into much more detail for the reasons of privacy. But as we're listing unresolved things that are on my mind, if one were to ask me in this context, "are things okay," my answer is no, and to "do you guys need help," my answer is yes.

GREATEST UNEXPLORED REASONS WHY PERSONAL FITNESS IS NEEDED BY EVERYONE MORE THAN EVER BEFORE.

What does it mean to be fit? Is it centered on physical presence, or is it broader than this?

In life, we all aspire to be healthy and make wise choices, but it’s hard to know exactly what that entails. It’s not just about losing weight or pulling a heavy concrete block; being physically healthy and fit means a wealth of information about our physical functions, the climate, fitness, food, ambitions, and survival strategies.

So, let’s learn about personal fitness in this thread. We’ll discuss all the things about fitness, being healthy, and about yourself that you never knew before.

We all want to look physically good. We want to feel positive and want to be happy. And though, maybe for just 1% (or less) of us get these things quickly and effortlessly, for the other 99 percent (or even more) of us, it’s not really going to happen until we do struggle and hard work for it!

As a teen, you’ve probably remained active enough to be fit and healthy, to have power, energy, and motivation, and to have an optimistic perspective on things. You may have played sports in high school or have been involved in gymnastics or acrobatics. And maybe you’ve had some really productive, fit years in college. Yet all too often, real-life—life after school or university—squeeze out all kind of workout or sports or exercise from our routines. It could be shifted to the bottom of the page. Or maybe it could drop out of the list entirely!

As we get older, our lives often get more rough and busy. From work, babies, aspiring to get more degrees to be done, more goals to achieve, to taking care of the elderly parents or grandparents, it seems complicated (perhaps even a little wasteful or irresponsible) to cut out time to take care of ourselves. But we should, in fact, we must. Especially when we are busier in our hectic routine life, it becomes more important to take care of ourselves regarding our well-being, safety, and happiness.

Let’s dive into this fitness regimen more deeply:

What is Personal Fitness?

There is no specific, definite meaning of “personal fitness.” It is a descriptive concept that represents various needs and interests in any person. If it could be precisely defined, I think it would literally be like possessing the strength and energy to do whatever you need and would like to do, like lifting heavy weights, climbing stairs, running, walking, etc. Each has its own unique concept of “personal fitness” so this definition is dynamic, continuously evolving over time as life progresses. However, our fitness remains significant. Being healthy is among the things that we sometimes take for granted because we don’t know how vital it is until we lose it.

Some Unexplored Reasons Why Personal Fitness is Important:

For every excuse that we use to not care for our personal fitness, there are at least two reasons why we must do it.   Have a  glance at some scary stats given by  CDC; a sedentary lifestyle may be a considerable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the number one reason for death in the World. If we only see in the US,  About 610,000 Americans die from heart disease every year – 1 of every four deaths.

Lack of physical activity and exercise will also lead to life-threatening conditions such as high cholesterol levels, hypertension,  high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.

To put it simply, regular exercise and fitness are essential for everyone. Kids, adolescents, teens, and people of all ages need daily physical activity. Regular activity encourages good fitness, and you should try to be active in all stages of your life, regardless of your physical shape or BMI.

What is the secret to being Fit in this Machine Life?

So are you too busy in your routine life? Or are you tired of going to the gym but not getting the results?

You’re not alone—many people show passion, enthusiasm, and commitment but couldn’t accomplish their goals or could not continue. If this sounds familiar, the next logical step usually is to find a certified personal trainer with established expertise.

But if you don’t want to hire a personal coach and want to do it on your own, here are some tips that you can follow to achieve desired fitness.

Reasons to be fit and healthy:

From being more confident in boosting your heart functionality and even controlling your seasonal allergies, here are 25 unexplored reasons why you should focus more on your personal fitness:

To be fit works as an antidepressant:

Whether you’re suffering winter blahs or having persistent depression, the blues will make life more complicated. Antidepressants have been a lifesaver to many individuals. But one study revealed that depression sufferers who did physical activity experienced the same kind of change in their condition as people taking medications and sessions. In fact, after four months, 60 to 70% of individuals could not even be identified as having depression cause they feel more fit and healthy and satisfied with themselves. Perhaps better, a follow-up to the research suggests that exercise’s benefits continued longer than those of the medications.

Fitness reduces PMS:

As per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, workouts may help mitigate PMS signs, such as mood swings and bloating. Studies have also shown that girls who exercise regularly have less or fewer serious effects of PMS. In one research, teen girls—who were a moodier bunch  —Performed 60-minute aerobic sessions three days per week for eight weeks. Afterward, they reported their PMS symptoms, particularly depression and frustration, were dramatically improved, to the extent where the researchers suggested that fitness achieved from regular exercise should be a must to treat PMS.

If you feel Physically Fit, You’ll develop more Creative skills:

The next time you encounter an author’s block or need innovative faces for your personnel gathering, consider taking a short walk on the beach or around the block. New research showed that walking or exercising increases both divergent and convergent perception, both of which are linked with enhanced imagination, vision, and clarity.

Facing any allergies? Try Exercise:

Just when you survived the hold of cold or flu, you may be staggered into the hay-fever phase. Though you can’t exercise away from allergies, however, daily exercises help control the symptoms.

Allergies could make you miserable. Even beyond key signs that trigger red and sore, sneezy, bloated skin, you can even get exhausted overall. But studies have shown that daily exercise can help to suppress allergies. Physical activity helps in a healthy flow of blood. This allows allergens to pass rapidly through the bloodstream and to be eliminated via kidneys and body.

Lack of exercise results in low blood flow. Stagnant allergens begin to deposit in a fixed position and begin to damage the tissues surrounding them. So exercise and fitness are the keys to be safe from all these situations. In Thailand, scientists have stated that exercising for just 30 minutes can eliminate active bacteria causing sneezing, itching, cough, and nasal congestion by up to 90%. Isn’t this so surprising and great to know?

A Fit Body is a secret to a Healthy Heart:

Over the past four decades, several clinical studies have explored the connection between physical fitness, physical activity, and cardiovascular health. The heart needs exercise as much as other muscles. Muscles that are used daily get stronger and healthy, while muscles that are not used become weakened and atrophied. When it is exercised, the heart will pump more blood into the body and keep functioning at optimum efficiency without any strain. This is going to make it remain safe longer. Regular activity also helps to keep lungs and other internal organs stable, allowing proper blood supply and normal blood pressure.

Helps to Overcome Temptations:

They don’t mark it as a “high runner” for doing nothing! If you’re prone to desserts, cigarettes, or even drugs, exercise can play a significant role in avoiding the habit of your addiction. In one research, scientists showed that the endorphin rush emitted during exercise works on the same neuronal circuits as the addictive drugs. In that same analysis, Mice selected for a high treadmill with an amphetamine-laced solution, indicating that individuals can do the same.

A Healthy and Fit Lifestyle adds years to your life:

Being physically healthy and active is one of the best things you can do for your wellness. It lowers the risk of certain chronic illnesses and thereby increases longevity; it also promotes physical and mental performance.

And if you are unable to stick with the physical exercise guidelines (equivalent to 150 minutes a week of fast walking), any movement is better than zero. r People who exercise and try to be active in all phases of their lives live longer. Research has revealed that you can add up to seven years to your life span by exercising at least 150 minutes a week (that’s just three days of workout for 50 minutes), irrespective of your weight or body shape.

You’ll be more fertile if you’re a fit person:

Weird. Yes, it may sound like that, but will there be a kid in your coming years? It’s better to hit the ground. Harvard scientists observed that the males who exercised had a greater concentration of sperm in their semen and also that the sperm was better-than-average. Women also get raise at fertility by keeping their run (or circuit training or yoga or…) on. A meta-analysis of about 27,000 women showed that all those who exercised had lower than average infertility rates, higher implantation levels, and reduced rates of miscarriage. One caveat: girls who have become too strenuous or too severely impaired in their fertility, so it’s all about balance. Studies claim to visit the gym three days a week for almost an hour or 45 minutes every time.

A fit body is a beautiful body. It will give you confidence and will Boost your Self-esteem:

Do you have an optimistic perception of yourself and of your capability? Studies have found a direct correlation between positive self-esteem and physical and mental health very explicitly. Unfortunately, many kids, adolescents, teenagers, and young adults suffer from low self-esteem. In fact, the number of people suffering low self-esteem has now become higher than it has ever been. Often self-esteem problems are related to the body physique. Daily exercise helps create confidence by changing the image of our bodies. When exercising, you are necessary to influence and tone your body, and seeing these effects will significantly boost your self-esteem and make you feel happier about how you look. That will be a beautiful feeling and will increase your confidence, self-love, and body perception.

It blows bad fat and increases good fat. (Yes, healthy and good fat exists!)

In our fat-phobic culture, squishy objects are enemy number No. 1. Not all fat is troublesome, however. Brown fat is a metabolic bonus, and hip and thigh fat in women also has some potential hormonal advantages. However, the one type you certainly don’t want is visceral fat, the kind in your mid-section crowded around the internal organs that can do a lot of damage. Exercise to rescue! We know that sweating can decrease fat in general, but belly fat is especially susceptible to workout, and last year’s study showed that high-intensity workout interval blasts belly fat the quickest.

Fitness helps to decrease symptoms of ADHD:

Regular exercise is one of the simplest and most effective ways to mitigate the symptoms of ADHD and boost focus, enthusiasm, memory, and emotions. Physical exercise instantly increases the levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin in the brain—all of which influence concentration and attentiveness. In this manner, exercise acts in almost the same way as ADHD treatments such as Adderall and Ritalin.

A Fit body can give you an iron-clad immune system:

In life, you are going to exchange pens, trade business cards, and shake hands with people with uncertain hygiene. Explanation: You’re going to be hit with germs. Research has revealed that having your fresh fruits and vegetables every five days can improve your immune system and save you five (or more) sick days. One research showed that people who consumed more vegetables were infected less often, no matter what other foods they ate. Another claim that carrots and cookies can live side by side. And you would like to season those vegetables with garlic: people who ate the clove every day had 64 percent fewer cold infections and recovered better than those with less smelly breaths. So you may be thinking -no exercise? Yes, exercise works for your health and fitness but not only exercise. Your overall lifestyle will be going to shape your fitness.

A Bonus tip:

Something is better than nothing: So, if you’re not getting time for going to the gym or for a morning or evening walk. Or if you go to the gym or a run, but after 15 to 30 minutes of exercise, your body wants to take some, then don’t panic. Try a break after 5 or 10 minutes; that is totally fine. Or even if you are not going anywhere, don’t worry about that too. Start with 5-or 10-minute sessions at home whenever you get free and increase the time gradually. The more you workout, the more energy, and power you’re going to get because, hopefully, you’ll be ready for a bit more.

The aim is to indulge in some moderate physical activity—however small—over most days. As workout becomes a routine, you can progressively add additional minutes or attempt new types of exercises. If you keep up with it, the effects of the activity will continue to pay off.

Taking care of your fitness will not only bring you all the advantages we’ve mentioned above, and much more, but Confidence and self-knowledge in all fields of your life—So Bon Appetite!
