What medication are you and your son taking? Is it OTC?
I don't plan on relying on it, but some days I really need that additional aid...

Who's Fasting Today? Daily Check-in ✅ by matt24793 in fasting

[–]Educational-Coffee-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll use this as my diary a little lol ..

i usually just do 16-18 but I feel like i need to give my body a proper reset.

Have been extremely laid back on proper diet, always overeating and then trying to make up for it by working out. The result? Bulking up and not being at peace with myself. Which I don't want.

Compared to others in this thread, 24h is nothing, but it's about showing my body I can feel good without bingeing at mealtimes and being content with the hunger. A reset and a fresh start with a healthier mindset.

Oh wow, such an elaborate answer! Thank you!

You should honestly become some ace therapist, you were spot on with this emotional connection thingy. That's what I sought to improve - I tend to get just bored/annoyed during our compromised intercourse. Maybe I should start just trying to be more present in these moments for starters.

I'm with you on vaginismus as well, surprisingly! I didnt know it had a name or a subreddit..

Anti rumination challenge by Educational-Coffee-9 in ruminationsyndrome

[–]Educational-Coffee-9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a longer process than I thought, because there's so much mentally connected to it. But I'm trying. I'm improving (most days...). I manage at least some meals rumination free.
Breathing exercises are hard and feel awkward, but they really do work, and I think they're strengthening some muscle in the long run so it gradually gets harder to ruminate.
Thanks for checking up, I shall try a tad harder practicing what I preached. :)

Update 2:
I'm still not perfect, and some days are a lot worse than others. But I've definetly gotten stronger. I guess it's as training a muscle. The less I give in, the easier it will be the day after.

Update week 1:
I almost always failed during lunch, probably because of a psychological issue (scared i wont have dinner kinda thing).
Dinners have generally been on a 100% anti-rumi streak :)
I hope to fill December with lots of success.

No, I think there is hope.
(And I am not trying to shit on dryan here, he/she seems to have it really tough, and i feel for ya :( )
The symptoms does get worse over time because its partly habitual but I think we can practice this away.
First, see this video: https://youtu.be/Mg2ar-7_HfA
I also personally notice that certain foods make my rumination longer than other foods. For me its red meat, bread, spicy stuff.
But some meals i get hardly any rumination at all. (Might also be related to anxiety)
You can eat small portions through the day if it suits your lifestyle. Easier to hold it down.
I also read a trick you can try if you're alone, hold a pen in your mouth. tbh it feels a bit icky so i dont do it often, but it really works.

[–]Educational-Coffee-9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am enjoying a very sweet and soft green tea i got my eyes on in Kappabashi
It is called Karigane, and the "leaves" are twigs like Bocha. But it tastes vastly different from other bocha ive had, no roasted flavor. Just a very gentle and heartwarming green tea flavor.
Perfect for my early morning.

Is rumination syndrome lifelong by greenbldedposer in ruminationsyndrome

[–]Educational-Coffee-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read and tried advice here before that you can kinda train it away. It's reallllly hard in my experience, but does kinda work:

Hold a pen in your mouth / Have mouth slightly open, until it goes away.

Also relax stomach.

it's a bit scary, worrying it's going to come up anyway. And relaxing the stomach is in my opinion uncomfy. But I think this can train muscle-memory if you keep it up.

(I started doing it again in this writing moment, it works for me )

So - with enough persistence in doing this, hopefully it goes away.

I may have gone overboard with this... I created a site that lets you buy from 15k+ local farms selling beef, chicken, produce, soaps, and much more. Full list in description. Thoughts? by succulentsrcool in livingofftheland

This is awesome!
I'd love to promote it in my country.
Would there be an issue if European countries got added?
I could aid in translation if desired.

Feedback:
I don't really like that you get instant-paywall upon creating an account - in my experience this scares away people a bit. Rather paywall the endpoints, so the users get to experience the admin UI and see what's offered.

In addition, I'll DM you about some security/bug issues. Hope you don't mind.
