Chronic insomnia but now it feels dangerously bad n outta control

Been taking nearly every single herbal and mineral (like magnesium gly.) based (and combined) supplement and of every form at night. Nothing is working. Haven’t had melatonin lately though, I did instead have melatonin (5mg) sleep neuromints a month ago—didn’t work a bit, even with 2 every night. Currently I’m struggling with 2 gummies with ingredients like L-theanine, GABA, Cordyalis, Reishi, and Saffron. I take 2 mag blend supplements a day at 300 mg. And I sometimes use saffron extracting food and drinks. So, so far none of this is working for the sake of it whatsoever. I think to myself i may need melatonin, sometimes to really knock me out. My system is seriously out of it. Should i buy a good natural, clean melatonin supplement that’s high in dosage and effective? If so please suggest an affordable one i can get. Have no idea what to do and im sorry. I have a chronic illness as well and it’s driving everything up and my body is in dysfunction.

Thanks

Why is it frowned upon, or rather, aggravating to have honest opinions, reactions, statements?

I especially think of food, health, and generally what we do or put into our bodies. You ever try an occasionally-tried foreign cuisine, and react with disgust or just don’t like it (excluding any disrespect or insolence) ? But if they ask you how it is or they stare at you curiously, you have to bullshit it completely. Personally, I’m down to try new things, whatever that category that may come from, but sometimes, from solely the sight of it, I know damn well what I wouldn’t try. But if the topic or name gets brought up, oh I have to shut up and or lie about how I feel about it. Oh but, things like “zodiacs “star signs” or certain, unpopular beliefs and views are horseshit. That’s right, and we can trash on those minorities’ beliefs and practices all we want. Incredible.

Is it correct to say “it was [plural subject]”

Is this correct? Is it no t normally “it was *the [plural subject]? E.g. “it was baseballs.” Because I don’t remeber learning it this way and nor do you typically hear it like this. And now i just hear people using it like this and it leaves me in a stunned position and I’m genuinely puzzled.

What’s it called when there’s something somewhat like calcification over (bottom mostly) a sink pipe but smells terrible?

It’s white and super rough and grainy, smells like hell—fumes when air is present, making it oxidize and releasing smells. Pipes are copper btw. It’s been happening after a few years living here. First two whole years it wasn’t happening, or smelling up.

Edit: my bad, should’ve added a picture. It’s pretty much like I described. Nothing too crazy looking, just an issue with what’s forming underneath these pipes.

Researched results (randomly found, and intentional) regarding synthetic dyes

Basically one of the gathered key points is that they’re linked to heavy metals and they’re a significant allergen. Huh, no wonder Soshe’s fake clean ceramide lipsticks hurt the crap pour of my lips and smell like the typical old lipstick. So absolutelyy no doubts on them being allergenic!

I hate canvas, I fucking hate it with my soul. …

Crashing out for the 3rd time, in a row about this rn. Losing my shit. Been working on a discussion posit I finally redid most of it all over again, and filled in the rest. Hadn’t copied and reloaded to sign into my college again, keep forgetting, and click the link in the post’s instructions to open up a link and this dumb fucking thing opens link on THE SAME PAGE. This time, open a whole new tab, re-log in, and click the “reply” and FUCKK, the content’s not scared—not even a fucking 1/2 of it and I just need all this crap done. God! This may lead to chronic task paralysis bc of my adhd, which I’ve been fighting to finish all this.
Fuck you canvas, dumb site.

What is the psychology of somebody who so randomly ghosts you right after you attempt to appropriately befriend them?

What does it mean if you meet someone on an app(nowadays usually in frequently online settings) and you politely and kindly greet each other and then you ask a couple questions, try to learn some more about them. It goes well or okay, and then when you ask/say a bit of a not-too-personal, but specific or more forward question or comment, afterwards that leave you on seen and then even randomly block you like that’s supposed to make sense. Especially speaking if the person is more introverted.

This has hardly occurred or been witnessed in my adult life, yet it does happen.

How do popular instagrammers with big followings but little schooling make coaching and course businesses to promote on there?

I’ve seen it you’ve seen it—the people who Have businesses built on coaching or some sort of mentorship to work 1:1. They tell you to drop a keyword in the comments to receive the invitation link to what they’re offering or promoting. How do these “coaches” so easily do it all? How do they get the rapid boost in following?

Failing miserably with buttering pan for pancakes-HELP What is going wrong?

Ok so I’ve been flopping (pun intended🤌🏻) with my pancakes. I don’t often make pancakes but recently I bought my fav brand’s (birch benders) mix and I’ve been making them since—but not so well. Today’s first pancake came out like shit, no seriously. And it’s the butter, usually. So I take JUST two-three teaspoons of ghee, heat up the pan first, and rub it all over till I see it melting smoothly and really getting slick. I wait a bit with that, then go inwith the instructions-followed mix. Problem typically is that the melted ghee b or butter immediately interacts with the mix by sticking and clumping. It’s inevitable.

With the mix, I always try to do a powder:liquid ratio to make achieve a thick and sturdy texture that’s needed. Mix seems to be coming along fine, but it’s really this butter attaching to it.

P.S not sure if this makes much of a difference but sometimes I just make it by adding milk, no water. Does this make it more dense or affect it in any way?

Let’s talk real, pure non-toxic lipsticks and tints

So I’ve gathered to the best of what I could find—some elusive brands who make non toxic lipsticks tints. Some examples are: Fat and the Moon, Lunar roots magic, Araza etc. Just one brand I know that’s trustworthy and makes totally clean, yet honestly pretty unwearable lipSTICKS is Madame Gabriela beauty(one of the least known, hidden treasure). But hardly do I ever find any real clean (petroleum dye free and synthetic wax and other toxin-free lipsticks. I also know about Henne but they’re still a lip tint brand, and other thing about them is that they use so much titanium dioxide that it’s just so shiny. Also I don’t prefer them as much but they’re still good as well. Anyone know anyone else that at least makes good tinted lip balms based from i.os only?

Why does literally no one talk about chronically ruminating/staying attached to the *GOOD* past?

I’ve new books this… ever since quarantine. Almost other year (with some exceptions of course, as well) my years have turned out like a dream, like absolutely amazing euphoria. Now this is tied to my personal, self-explainable psychology. But when I try to research this exact phenomenon, the net just spits up: “thinking of the past increases\\\[bad reactions\\\]” or links it to some things related to anxiety, depression, really negative states of feeling. When you look up the good, it associates it directly with nostalgia…. This isn’t nostalgia.

It’s rumination but for a time you can no longer cling on to, a time you once had, but now—every damn Time—your heart may shatter at mere distantly-related reminders of those memories or flicks. It’s as if it’s supposed to pain you, on purpose. You have no other way out other than seeking your own way out—but how, if you feel absolutely helpless in your present.

Small, blister-like, invisible bumps appearing on palms. What could this be?

I don’t have Dyshidriotic derm. Before anyone brings that up… or nah skin condition for that matter. But rarely(i noticed this some years ago as well) i get these tiny, benign bumps on different areas of my palms. When i feel over them, it feels very sensitized. But it’s non-itchy and not severe in any way. Lately, I’ve had terrible insomnia, nervous system issues, some constipation, etc. I don’t know if those are connective enough as signs or symptoms.

Could this also be an effect of using fragrant, slightly harsh hand soaps or products?

Anyone else remember this protein treats brand? What even on earth happened to them??

So sometimes I go to the local WF—and of course, for me at least, that’s one of the *few* ever stores in my city that sells healthy, plant-based sweet treats and snacks. Sometimes, I tend to reminisce on the snacks they only had over a year ago-3 years ago when i had begun shopping them. I love Wf evolution—don’t get me wrong—but sometimes I’ll miss the Deux raw cookie doughs, and variety of chocolate chip cookie dough trays, the puddings, the non-dairy dairy subs in the fridges, etc. Now for me, besides Deux having disappeared from mine, I start to wonder about BHU’s cookie dough protein treats. Those were my *favorite * in summer of ‘23! An aquired taste, but so good. I think i remember still buying them until mid 2024. After that, i think they just kinda disappeared off the protein bar shelves and fridges. They sold both the bars and the bagged bites at mine—both were amazing. I’d typically go for the bites. Now i go on a hunt for them and hardly finds reliable source regarding their website’s store locator. So i go check my nearby sprout’s (don’t typically shop there at all, and for obvious reasons $) DoorDash page—and there u have it… except the prices…. i see the fuckin $20 marking for an average bag of their truffles and It ruins my whole mood for trying. Then I check with the website itself…. And it only appears worse. Wtf???? Can someone explain this?
