I’m on 75mg. Was convinced it didn’t do anything but I realised I don’t fall into pits of depression anymore.

Doctor said I should reach 200mg because I definitely still experience some emotions way too intensely and I’d love to go higher to fix this but I tried to increase to 100mg three times each time I lasted only two weeks. Fatigue was so bad that I could barely do anything and it completely cancelled out Vyvanse I take for ADHD.

I wonder if it might be because of high sensitivity to meds? I tried to learn about it more.

My psychiatrist said that the dose is so low that it seems more like a placebo to her and I’m just confused. But if it doesn’t hurt I don’t think I want to stop idk

But when I use for example Snapchat camera they are clear/just normal fucking photos. Why is it happening?

Im an anxious woman and what stresses me the most is that I won’t vibe with someone and my lack of assertiveness will make me sit through the whole thing.

Whenever I try to suggest FaceTime even short one sometimes jokingly men just DONT WANT TO DO IT. And they would never ever suggest it first. Just texting and meeting.

Thing is I am quite selective and the dates I’ve been on were fine, some very fun. But nevertheless a few I wouldn’t go on if we just a had a short call beforehand. Literally not even about the looks, just the vibe alone.

Why are men so apprehensive to do this not even mentioning initiating things like this beforehand?

Id love to read a science backed book talking about the current surge of supplements like amino acids etc and explains what works and what’s a scam?

Im tired of doing my own research. My adhd can’t handle it there is TMI. And AI models pull info out of their asses it’s such a scam.

Has anyone read something like this?

I found this comment when I was researching keto and volume eating. I’m personally not a fan of it either, I’d rather eat a bar of butter and wait to feel full than stuff myself with air food to feel full for three seconds. This is the comment:

„I personally just focus on foods that are fiber dense and protein dense that keep me going for very small amounts.”

So my question is why would someone on keto prioritise protein and fiber over fat? It made me realise I probably don’t eat fiber at all. And where do you get your fiber from and when do you eat it? Also, do you think konjac noodles are a good source of fiber?

Genuinely asking. I realised that when I prioritised protein I would feel weak and blamed not enough carbs for it. Then decided to try keto prioritising fat and going a bit over my protein target. Then all the energy came back.

I need to decide on one, both seem to work for what it is. I want to stick with one but my major concern is the weight gain side effect. Was wondering if anyone tried both and can share their experience?

Both for long term and occasional use

I’m based in Europe so maybe the audience for it isn’t as big here as it is in the US, but god… how am I only discovering this show now?

Are there any great comedy series or movies on hbo that you loved and think someone who loves Hacks would love too?

If i watch one more detective/crime show, I might just get my shit together and do something productive with my life.

(Loved Barry and first few seasons of Silicon Valley)

My doc wants to put me on guanfacine and leaves it up to me if I want to get off Lamictal first or not, or take them together. I’m scared it will make me too tired. And even more so that it fucks up my metabolism, I can’t gain any more weight. What’s your experience? And what are your dosages?

I’m also on Vyvanse and it’s changed my life completely. But my body focused repetitive behaviours and general ability to start things hasn’t seemed to get better with Vyvanse. It made me able to emotionally regulate myself and stop binge eating, decreased social anxiety and generally I feel much more like a human being but I still had weird emotional outbursts in the evening when it wore off.

That’s when I was prescribed Lamictal because I was chronically depressed with worst depression always preempted by hypomanic episode, the pattern I never recognised before I started therapy. Now on 100mg AGAIN, because previously it made me too tired. Maybe 75mg was enough, idk, I’ll wait and see. I definitely don’t cycle from one depressive to another all the time which I like but still, doesn’t help with executive function that much. I’m hesistant about going off it because even tho I feel slightly emotionally blunter I also don’t fall into weeks of alcohol food and self loathing depression anymore.

Wiem, że w Jelitkowie jest spoko plaża więc fajnie byłoby mieć na wyjście z samego rana. Ale zastanawiam się czy to nie za daleko. Może zabrałbym ich też do Sopotu i Gdyni po jednym dniu, chyba że te miasta nie są aż tak interesujące/tętniące życiem/interesujące jak Gdańsk?

Ja też nigdy nie bylem. A, i mamy między 26-28 lat. W grupie mam też parę osób z zagranicy

I am hitting my protein goal one way or another but was wondering if for a midday snack I should prioritise fat or protein.

Let’s say I want to make Matcha Latte for a snack. Should I make it with

1. MCT oil, heavy cream and almond milk (unsweetened ofc)
   or
2. Protein powder WPI, any low carb milk, some MCT oil for the rest of the calories

I was wondering about your suggestions. Should I just eat slices with about 13g of butter? Or do you think there are better/healthier options to keep you full for longer?

Just suggestions of your favourite fats to pair with low fat food please :’)

Cheese is 0g carbs, 36g protein and 2.8g fat per 100g.

Idk if it’s a mental thing but I feel like plain butter would make me more satisfied than the calorie equivalent of avocado

I love this cheese because the volume is so big and I prefer it to full fat yellow cheese.

Also since I’m at it, is normal or clarified butter better?

FYI eggs make me hungry as I eat them lol

I am not a fan of K-pop or dramas but I’ve started learning about Korean beauty standards, prevalence of the “menu” beauty procedures etc and I wanted to learn more about how it all started, where it comes from etc. But for sure would love to learn about most influential people both from pop culture and politics.

But also more general things like basic history and politics. Like Korea 101. I’ve started learning Korean a few months ago but I still have a long way to go to actually be able to watch anything in Korean.

I’m asking because I thought that you might have some suggestions that I haven’t thought about and currently I just feel like I’m jumping from one topic to another when I learn and the dots don’t necessarily connect

I’m doing intermittent fasting but more so I don’t snack in the evening. But I always get this overwhelming weakness towards bedtime. I’m 99% sure it’s electrolytes imbalance/glucose levels though I measure my glucose and it seems to be correct.

I would like store bought electrolytes and I’m actually wondering if maybe I do feel better after taking electrolytes with glucose.

What are the cons of glucose in electrolytes in regards to weight loss/intermittent fasting benefits?

Would you recommend any specific electrolytes (store bought) that would be good to take in the evening probably like 2h before bed when I feel the weakness starting to creep in?

My deficit is not too low but I do have a very sensitive body in general and I do think electrolytes imbalance might be the culprit

I take Vyvanse and Lamotrigine, but I am not sure the meds help my compulsive behaviours all that much.

All I know Vyvanse helps for 7 hours with focus but skin picking and obsessiveness don’t go away.

Doctor recommended guanfacine. What did it help you with? Also, I’m terrified of weight gain. It is a reason I might decline to take it because I’m gaining so much recently I can’t afford to have any other contributors to that

I’m at a healthy weight and I’m happy with how I look. I eat balanced meals, but also indulge often. Work out, have generally healthy lifestyle.

I do find myself bingeing from time to time. I don’t try to over exercise or restrict afterwards. Been there done that. Actually I’m usually naturally much less hungry the next day.

The issue is food noise. It never disappears. I can eat a satisfying meal, I have a full stomach and even MENTALLY I feel satisfied. But it doesn’t stop me from thinking about the next meal and food constantly.

I’ve been to therapy about this, tried meditation, I constantly try new hobbies, try to distract myself, go for walks, try to “sit with the feeling”. I feel like I read countless articles and books about the topic. I gave up on therapists because I was just pouring money into nothing for months.

Best thing is that because I’m not overweight nor underweight no one really treats it as a real issue. Almost like it’s not a priority because it’s not visible on my body.

The thing is I am close to accepting that this is just my misery and it will never change. I can’t enjoy any moment 100% because I always have this overwhelming craving for food and it never ceases to preoccupy my mind. God, sometimes I’m out with people I love, eating pizza, having fun and all I can think about is this urge to go home and eat alone in front on a tv.

And actually therapists were trying to treat me for depression anxiety told me it’s a coping mechanism. But at this point I believe it’s the other way round.

Food IS the trigger for depression and anxiety and I am so fucking fed up. I feel like this alone often makes me feel suicidal. I had issues with alcohol and other things along the way but everything else you are able to quit completely which makes it so much easier. I tried Vyvanse for adhd but it didn’t help at all.

Has anyone successfully dealt with this if you had this issue?

Everyone praises this episode but for me it was messy af?

Cohle is gone for such a long time, but comes back and

1. Is straight away met by the person he wanted to see
2. Does drugs like it is nothing also not even incorporating it into acting later really
3. Is told to get on the job straight away, same day? Xd and is this the bikers first fucking day on the job too? That they manage to fuck everything up predict nothing and get themselves killed almost entirely?

At this point wouldn’t it have been easier for Cohle and Hart to just kidnap that guy? Cohle wouldn’t have to relapse and endanger himself and the outcome would be virtually the same

Hart almost blowing Cohle’s cover? 101 policing?

I’m sorry what am I missing? Long shot great yeah

I don’t have Apple Watch but still use apple health to track steps.

But then again it also does show active calories. Has anyone tried to compare calories burnt with vs without the watch?

I put my weight in (56kg 165cm f) and it shows that with a brisk walk (13.465 steps, 9.7km) and 7 floors climbed I burnt 365 calories.

I wonder how far off the estimate is
