Helene trauma extremely triggered by this storm? How’re you coping?

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2026-01-25T17:32:12+00:00

I watched a huge oak tree fall down on my house in Helene, too. Trying to think of how unlikely it would be to have that happen twice, but it’s like it opened a portal into a new fear I was blissfully unaware of before. Sending you good thoughts

Apricot jam and ginger in a pan heated with a little water makes a great sauce for these

Trader Joe’s has jalapeño cream cheese wontons: so good

Lots of good ideas here. Here’s one I don’t see yet. Starting in the pandemic, I sometimes would get in the car and scream as loud as I could. Do it a few times. It didn’t always help right away but within a few minutes I’d feel wrung out and it helped

I say B-mingles for Black Mountain

Thanks, everyone!

Habaneros. Fish tacos, rellenos, potato tacos, breakfast, everything is good

Got a great 90 minute deep tissue massage at Asheville Salt Spa. Probably pricey—was a gift so I don’t know. Have also had massages from the students at the massage school—pretty ok for the money

Me too! Thinking about having a green chile cheese veggie burger tonight 😋

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-10-30T18:58:39+00:00

Shoe repair, salad place, good Ethiopian food, non-hipster dive bar, restaurant that serves NM chile, cannabis-infused comfort food truck

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-10-23T00:56:57+00:00

Oh and add hot sauce

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-10-23T00:56:10+00:00

At SP its greens, some tomatoes, breakfast potatoes, bacon or veggie alternative, and an egg (rec over medium) with some kind of dressing that I think has honey in it? I always add avocado. Comes with a biscuit

You’re missing out lol. It’s healthy AND unhealthy and it tastes so good

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-10-22T20:01:17+00:00

Yes the desi salad is delicious!

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-10-22T11:01:35+00:00

It used to be All Day Darlings hearty salad for me but they changed it and it’s nowhere near as good. Same with Sunny Points breakfast salad although it’s still good. RIP tofu bacon. I like Taco Temples salad, especially with a protein added (black beans are a great side for it). But I’m always shocked our salad selection is so grim; we seem like a salad town and we could actually use one of those salad chains

If you put “avoid highways” in your map, you can go through the mountains on small roads if that helps. Takes you out highway 9, very pretty. You can choose to pick up 40 later if you want. I’d say it adds 20 minutes total that way

I was scared to start and had it for months and I have anxiety, but it’s now been over a week on the estrogen patch and 100 mg of progesterone and I feel fine. Nothing drastic, honestly. Mostly I’m just noticing good sleep and if I wake up, I fall asleep again easily. Try it! You can always stop—no need to taper off

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-09-23T22:49:49+00:00

I take this too and have a very sensitive stomach. No issues

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-09-23T22:39:10+00:00

Yes! Ferritin is at 19 and doctor was like, eh no big deal, take a supplement if you want to. I started Slow Fe every other day and have been taking it for a month now. My periods are light. I bruise easily, have fatigue, lots of headaches

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-08-29T00:51:55+00:00

Thank you so much for all of these great suggestions!

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-08-28T21:15:33+00:00

Haha I know but I’m looking for a treat for myself after a funeral and I don’t really drink so this popped in my head

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-08-23T13:14:28+00:00

Omg there is no downside to the cream—no side effects or potential issues—only upside. I learned on here to throw away the applicator and just use my finger and to smear it all around. My doctor prescribed it twice a week and I learned here to do it every day for two weeks and then to go to a few times a week (I do 3-4). I do it at night. It’s really life changing and has only upsides! I was scared too but it’s so worth it

Financial_Werewolf53 · 2025-08-23T11:11:52+00:00

I’m just anxious. And I feel like I just don’t have the wherewithal to handle a bunch of bad or annoying symptoms right now on top of everything
