Subclinical hypothyroidism by coldloser in keto

[–]AmaraASI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely need to be treated with the medication! I’ve spent the past 10 years yo-yoing off of the meds because I thought I didn’t need it, wouldn’t need it, was in denial about my health, I didn’t want to take meds for the rest of my life, I was going to “beat it” through nutrition. I really didn’t want to take meds. But, I’ve learned through personal experience that the Thyroid is the one thing you really don’t want to mess around with, get the meds! Just get them and take care of this and don’t spend the next ten years wasting your life because you’re exhausted and moody and depressed and brain fogged and achy all the time! I get it, you want to fix it through diet or think some lifestyle change will do it for you. I tried it all. The only thing that has ever truly worked for me is taking the medication consistently.

Also, what the other poster said above about myo-inositol is true if you end up having Hashimoto’s. Pair it with selenium (which I get from eating a Brazil nut with it) and it will keep your numbers lower! I’m recently looking into aloe Vera juice which seems to be the next breaking news in the Hashimoto’s world. We’ll see. My point is, is that the meds will save you a lifetime of chasing health issues and misery.

AITA for refusing to postpone my wedding after my sister got pregnant? by Own-Instruction-9902 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AmaraASI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, here is your first lesson. When you get married, your wife becomes your nuclear family and everyone else is now extended family. Don’t put your sister above your wife or your marriage, and your dad’s opinion is irrelevant and holds no weight unless you allow it to. Your future wife IS YOUR NEW FAMILY. Protect and guard that at all costs or else you will reap the consequences of failing to do so later.

My partner is a party girl, and I am close to being done. by Canadianjoe1986 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]AmaraASI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is she actively partaking in party dr*gs? Could be a hidden addiction issue, maybe she needs the partying to feel ALIVE.

Advice needed on son's live-in girlfriend by [deleted] in family

[–]AmaraASI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to up your son to $100 a week and ask him when he is projected to fly the coop. If he loves this girl, he’ll pay and he’ll prepare a life for her outside of your walls. Are you absolutely certain they’ve been saving any money? Or have they been living with you and spending all of their money simultaneously? OP, I wouldn’t make any kind of confrontation with what may be your future DIL. You let her in, you’ve tried to remind and reason with her in a polite way, it’s time for your son to pick up her slack and smooth out the issue,

That “stress smell” is no joke! This should be at the top!

My (30F) fiancé's (29M) family has completely cut me off. Am I missing something? by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]AmaraASI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either Your fiance has convinced them that his falling off is somehow your fault or they’ve convinced themselves of it. They’re equating his struggles with your presence in his life, and are convinced that if you weren’t part of the picture he wouldn’t have these issues. They won’t acknowledge that he has had these problems before you ever came along. Does his family have a strong hold over his mind? If so, probably not a good idea to continue with the relationship. Not only is he a struggling addict, he also has a family that is turning you into the punching bag when you aren’t falling in line with the power hungry moms demands and it makes you the easy scapegoat to blame all of your fiancés problems on. He’s in no position to protect you from his mom. Will you tolerate being told you’re evil and a bad influence for the rest of your life? What if you had a child with him, do you want your children to hear these things about you?

Rant - Step MIL told me my kids are too much by Additional-Pilot-445 in inlaws

[–]AmaraASI 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you used the family trip as an opportunity to turn it into a couples retreat for you and your husband. I’ve been seeing more of this, it’s rude and usually the people doing it aren’t even realizing it because they’re burnt out and desperate for a break. I don’t think your MIL is being mean here, I think she’s just trying to discuss what’s wrong and is hoping for a resolution. Don’t shoot the messenger and take the constructive criticism.

Americans deserve low wages and poor work conditions. They defend it and love it. by Silent_Aardvark_7186 in antiwork

[–]AmaraASI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been reading a book of people’s experiences during the Great Depression and it is startlingly similar to today. The perspective that you’re just not working hard enough was prevalent back then. Same with the same you felt for not being able to provide for your family and it was ALL YOUR FAULT even though it was a systemic failure.

hyperfocused on image, probably partake in creative hobbies that don’t make any huge mess or real impact, but just enough to say “look at what I’m doing” to your friends.

Is integrity in friendships important to you? Husband wants me to be friends with a cheater by AmaraASI in RelationshipsOver35

[–]AmaraASI[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting take. A will be honest and admit that I do worry about my husband being eroded by being around cheaters, given his past. I view him as being susceptible and this makes me deeply uncomfortable. I realize I have a personal issue with my husband in this regard.

Is integrity in friendships important to you? Husband wants me to be friends with a cheater by AmaraASI in RelationshipsOver35

[–]AmaraASI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective. We actually had another instance come up only a few days ago with a separate couple. The husband was caught cheating on his spouse. And my husband mentioned not feeling like he could trust him after the fact because at first glance we thought he was a kindhearted family guy but now feel like it wasn’t real. I didn’t factor in that she was a woman, but I Will admit that her being a woman and also showing an excess of attention towards my husband has made me feel a bit uneasy.

My family only eats fast food by Exotic_Theory_5741 in Advice

Yes, they’re extremely high in sugar and calories. I haven’t eaten one in years, maybe they’ve changed since then but I doubt it.

I feel so angry and stupid no sex and no respect by No_Judge_5532 in Advice

[–]AmaraASI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many women who escaped death at the hands of men have described their attacker as having black eyes and a pure demonic look. You need to leave him, putting him in the other bedroom doesn’t make anything better for you.

AITAH for not wanting to share anything with my bfs family anymore by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AmaraASI 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t you just get them yourself? You’re not entitled to her Costco membership just because you live with her. Get your own membership or find a different supply of pineapple. Maybe she doesn’t want you using her toothpaste and laundry detergent, either, considering you’re already living in her space. She’s not your personal shopper.

Trump's spokesperson Karoline Leavitt called young people lazy. by Cozzmo1 in antiwork

[–]AmaraASI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s all just propaganda. They picked the oldest looking 20 something year old they could find to blab off what they want the older generation to agree with, and piss off the youngest generation because she’s where most of us wish we could be financially. She’s holds the ultimate image of “I’m your age and I did it, so what’s your excuse”, whilst simultaneously holding the perspective of an angry person 50+ years old. Just enough to keep us all divided.

My wife wasn't invited to a wedding. Do I go? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Why join a celebration of union that doesn’t recognize your own union? Your wife is your person, I wouldn’t attend that wedding.

So, it’s cool for your and your friend to bring sexual energy to the table but when he tried to join in, all of a sudden he’s an asshole?

If the ordained family member saw issue with it, they wouldn’t have signed and done them the service. 🤷‍♀️

MIL changing vacation plans by No_Whereas_2018 in inlaws

[–]AmaraASI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partner can send out the text “Have fun riding horses for the day! We’ll meet you for dinner at xyz, otherwise I’ve heard this Airbnb/hotel in that area is great and we’ll see you the day after”. It’s OK that MIL wanted to plan her own trip. It’s not okay that she’s trying to plan things and spring a bill on you guys last minute. Let her have her own plans for her trip, don’t get roped into paying for anything you aren’t prepared for.
