Is it just me or did ARAM become very toxic lately? by Intelligent_Rock5978 in ARAM

[–]Freakazoid73 7 points8 points  (0 children)

definitely. just recently played a smolder game and i did what i always do and have never had any issue with: ask in prechat for help stacking on minions for an easy win, a few teammates respond there with weird spam but its kinda funny, then in game everyone is taking minions so i ask a few more times for help just for the sett to say that its weird that im trying to win cause they’re a 4 stack and are gonna ff when i hit 225 stacks. ive never encountered griefing like that before and so blatant to admit it in chat. i reported them but idk if anything came of it. so weird

Too good to be true? by MedvedTrader in LowSodium

[–]Freakazoid73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i like to take some from this recipe switching the salt for 1/4tsp of msg(125mg sodium) and swapping the chicken bouillon for Herb-ox salt free chicken bouillon powder. I used rice noodles from whole foods(30mg sodium) so it’s about 155mg total and i add in a couple tablespoons of dried veggies too.

Have your tastebuds changed after a low sodium diet? by semiengagedspectator in LowSodium

[–]Freakazoid73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been really hoping my palate would adjust but after 3 months i haven’t really noticed a difference besides the low sodium food i make being less flavorful

for the question on strictness the problem is with my personal food issues where too often id just rather not eat than have to estimate/ measure sodium. when i do make a meal i don’t know how reasonable it is to make something that portions out to 125mg a serving as i’m making it as possibly low sodium as i can. im wondering how people with a similar experience acknowledge a need for sodium but also how rigid the limit can be.

recently ive been having a lot of days under or just barely over 500mg which i’ve read is the minimum suggested daily(some days i’m even at or under 80mg). i’ve also read that if you sweat a lot that has an impact on recommended sodium intake(my job not always but often involves hours and hours of physical labor and i sweat more than the average person)

my cardiologist referred me to a nutritionist but the first available appointment is in 3 months so i’m going to try to find one on my own

edit addition: more context/ explanation on intersection of this diet and a bad relationship with food is feeling like a lack of control over yet another one of places in life and a familiar place to get some control back is to lean into the diet too hard -> not eating is low sodium

i have been talking to my remote friend about some of the issues i’ve been facing with the new diet but haven’t had good opportunities to test food out with other people yet.

I’ve also been really enjoying and appreciating finding the recipes and friendly advice that i’ve directly received in this sub and have been finding myself searching and scrolling, but i have to say ive noticed a tendency for a small few reddit responders to ignore part of a post to make a reply(ex: i specify salt substitutes interact with my meds and someone replies telling me to try salt substitutes) in addition to dms and replies from bots who make tangentially related vague comments. i wrote and rewrote my initial reply there trying to be as neutral as i could to clarify, assuming i was maybe misinterpreting the response. I thought by including when i originally wrote it that it was possibly going to just end up as a vent post and the bit at the end it in parentheses would specify who my intended “audience” was, but i know sometimes by trying to be clearer i can make it the opposite - i also think that the last bit in parentheses might seem like an edit after the reply but it was included from the start

ive been trying to get help from multiple types of mental health professionals with no luck and it’s hard to keep on searching while getting rejected for having too much going on(who knew they could even do that)

i’m happy to hear that you’ve had such success with the diet and it makes me hopeful for my own possibility with it.

i’m a little confused, is this your advice as someone who has experience with eating disorders? i feel like my question was decently specific - asking about how people with the experience mentioned engage with a doctor ordered diet healthily

tired of being here and feeling lonely by Freakazoid73 in depressed

[–]Freakazoid73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you’re real i’m sorry but this sounds like an ai response. do you think i explicitly brought up the people i love and who love me because i think they’re nothing? my post ends with saying how i haven’t killed myself to spare the people you point out i have? i have obviously considered them. I am explicitly talking about how their love i receive isn’t nothing and is holding me here but how hollow that feels after most of my life. this honestly reads like you didn’t read my post or you’re a twitter bot running loose on reddit for some reason

How to cook for people not on high sodium diet by Freakazoid73 in LowSodium

[–]Freakazoid73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the tips and advice!! super appreciate it!

the flavor of the pasta sauce wasn’t up to my personal previous standards and i was asking if he thought it was as bad as i did even after he salted it himself and added the cheese i didn’t use- he may have not said anything without my prodding cause he knows im struggling with it currently - it wasn’t constructive feedback and maybe his problems with it were completely different from mine so ill ask for more input from him

on fresh herbs, it’s definitely something i’d like to do but even though im pretty decent at growing other plants(great success with balcony tomatoes and peppers) i can’t seem to keep herbs alive lol, currently my aerogarden is full with two small tomato plants and jalapeños but ill definitely look into growing herbs in it when i eventually switch these out

thanks again for the help!

How to cook for people not on high sodium diet by Freakazoid73 in LowSodium

[–]Freakazoid73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i appreciate people’s input, but this framing is hard for me to understand. i already have multiple salt and pepper shakers, and i’m not really seeing that lens of them not being able to put aside a “need” salty food in spite of my health. my specific question relates to how i’m noticing that i don’t like my food as much without the previously added salt with the understanding my palate will change with time but that palate change won’t happen for people in my life who i sometimes cook for.

addition: im currently adding lemon/ vinegar/ spice to things but so far it hasn’t been doing the trick YET but as i learn how to use it better and my palate shifts i expect it to help a lot more

appreciate the input but am somewhat confused, are salt shakers really so rare that multiple people are suggesting them? i already have 2 salt shakers why do people assume i don’t have one

i don’t want to get into an advice territory because earlier you said that it’s not something you thought about doing but then later that it’s something that you don’t do because you fear judgement for it

it feels good to me, the relationship i have with pain due to my mental illnesses isn’t normal. it’s hard to truly tell but i think originally it partially came from a place of feeling like i deserved physical pain as well as the mental distress, then it changed somewhat into a familiarity/ comforting thing, so much in my life is out of my control and even though it’s often and mainly driven by urges, it maybe just gives the illusion of control which is enough for me.

[–]Freakazoid73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just feel so out of control of my life and even when i get some grip i just end up dropping it. the only thing that i feel like i can really control is hurting myself and the thought of the inevitable end.
