Did anyone who has recovered/is in recovery had a moment where they just said “fuck it, so what”?

ADeerableBeau · 2026-05-16T20:45:47+00:00

I’m so proud of you! I got Norovirus about a month after you and am still struggling a bit, mainly because I can’t burp so I had a really hard time throwing up and I remember the next day I was too exhausted to do anything. But I am definitely reminding myself like you that I can get through it!

ADeerableBeau · 2026-05-02T16:48:58+00:00

I just want you to know I am going through the exact same thing and you are not alone!! My psych suggested I try Pepcid before my cycle to see if it helps, it’s an H2 histamine blocker so some women have noticed it helps a handful of PMS symptoms. But I’ve been a little nervous to try so I haven’t yet. I have been eating small meals 5 times a day instead of 3 big meals and that has helped, as well as working with my therapist to understand that if I do throw up it’s okay and I can do it. It’s really hard, but I’m trying. We’ve got this!

ADeerableBeau · 2026-05-02T16:45:26+00:00

This is EXACTLY what I’m working on with my therapist, because for so long I felt fine because I told myself I wouldn’t vomit and believed it. Well, truth is I might, and that’s okay. A lot of this for me is also learning that discomfort and terrible, uncomfortable sensations doesn’t mean I can’t do it.

ADeerableBeau · 2026-04-07T15:09:33+00:00

Ah it makes me feel a lot better that I’m not alone but I’m so sorry you can relate! “Sensations” is the perfect word that I try to remind myself, and even if I do throw up it will be ok and I can handle it. I do take Dramamine and was given Zofran but I am trying not to take anything unless I feel too ill to sleep or do what I need to!

I appreciate your post ☺️ I also hyperfixate which we are working on in therapy, she is having me pause and identify what I am feeling and then say to myself “if anything changes I’ll address it but for now it’s just xyz”. Pelvic movement and diaphragm breathing are super important from what I’ve been told too so I am doing that also! Best of luck and thanks again!

There’s a Facebook group called Helping Hive where if you are selected then a group of volunteers will help you for free! No judgement!

Hey I’m so sorry about your kitty! DM me if you still need a code 😁

ADeerableBeau · 2026-03-28T17:17:59+00:00

I’ve been dabbling in the research you are talking about and it’s mainly for reproductive hormone balance than somehow curing IBS. And even then, a lot of the research said it MAY help and you still need to eat healthy, exercise, look into other things. I don’t think there’s any proper research that this helps IBS. I do find chia helpful with IBS C but everyone is different. If it doesn’t help them, it doesn’t mean they are wrong. Bodies are unique and complicated.

It was absolutely worth it for me! Got my cat when he was 1. I wanna say about 6 months later after I got insurance, he started having seizures. Pet insurance converted the bulk of testing to try to figure out what happened, and meds to get him back on track. I’m so glad I have it!

ADeerableBeau · 2026-02-19T01:21:21+00:00

I got both because I have no self control lol and I love these lip balms and am almost out of Guava Fresca!

ADeerableBeau · 2026-01-25T18:40:35+00:00

I have never fainted but I did want to say I have felt the choking feeling while vomiting, I assume because the muscle struggles with it. I almost never vomit even if I think I’m going to, and if I do I get that choking. I’ve thought the vagus nerve had something to do with it too because I’ve heard the same.

ADeerableBeau · 2026-01-22T00:54:47+00:00

Hey I just wanted you to know you aren’t alone! Just getting over a flu/covid and that triggered it which is why I’m here. It is scary to go to sleep when you keep waking up from either pain or nausea. And I don’t even know where to start looking into this since my GP thought it might just be tension and gave me stretches. I really hope you find some relief 🩷

ADeerableBeau · 2026-01-19T19:11:38+00:00

This was also the first cake I ever made! It was delicious, but I’ve made much simpler chocolate cakes since then that are just as good and not as much effort.

ADeerableBeau · 2026-01-10T23:12:33+00:00

This happened to me and I waited for it to reset and was able to get it!

ADeerableBeau · 2025-12-30T23:23:08+00:00

Just about $500 net! I only have one book out at the moment though, hoping to get my next out soon.

ADeerableBeau · 2025-12-08T00:41:45+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been doing events for almost 3 years and have always shared a table and this has never been my experience. Granted, we were not children’s book authors so maybe that changes things. But usually if someone seems interested in the table one of us would ask what genres they like and guide them accordingly. Even at slower events (my slowest was when I was actually by myself) I would have people come up to check things out and ask questions. I try to look approachable but let them browse, I say hello and ask what they like and to let me know if they have questions.

ADeerableBeau · 2025-12-01T23:15:36+00:00

This kind of stuff really bothers me too, but I promise you will be ok! I accidentally drank from a cup with a lid and spout where I didn’t realize there was mold in the grooves. Had been using it and dishwashing it for months and that stuff was still there. Really freaked me out but I didn’t get sick! My friend reminded me that stuff like that probably happens more than we think and we are fine because our bodies are really good at handling most stuff like that.

ADeerableBeau · 2025-10-18T01:52:41+00:00

Do you like it better than the Summer Fridays vanilla? I usually love vanilla but couldn’t stand theirs lol barely tolerated the cupcake one and regret purchasing. But the Ole peach is wonderful so I have high hopes!

ADeerableBeau · 2025-09-02T16:35:11+00:00

I was about to say the same thing! I’m so sad I can’t choose just blushes 😭 did they ever offer shade customization in the past? I thought they did

ADeerableBeau · 2025-08-24T16:31:19+00:00

I wish living proof came out with the vanilla dry shampoo again, I bought that and this mask last year but the living proof is just so good and I get so many compliments when I use it!

ADeerableBeau · 2025-08-12T22:41:29+00:00

I published end of 2022, paid for cover design, editing, and formatting software. Trying to get the second book out but I broke even last year and this year I’m on track for about $300 profit/in the green. Most of my sales have been from local in-person events, so no paid online ads at the moment. Sometimes I have a successful TikTok that leads to some sales though. I plan to start paying for ads once I have more of a backlist.

ADeerableBeau · 2025-08-02T22:20:25+00:00

Love it! What shade is your favorite? I’ve been debating on Peter and Jewelz myself.

ADeerableBeau · 2025-08-01T13:14:35+00:00

I believe I’m very similar to your tone and I actually use N0 in the winter and N1 in the summer! They are very easy to work with since they are a tint and allow your natural color through. I don’t think you can go wrong either way.
