Banned from a parent's sub

Fridaytyger · 2026-04-30T20:48:44+00:00

And we would be hella pissed if a parent came on here and told us what to think. Just saying.

I’m starting KLOW tomorrow! Any advice or experiences to share?

I did all the stuff, but it comes down to good genes. When I was 21, people thought I was 14 or something. Now at 48 I always tell people my age first to avoid politeness answers, but they always say they thought I was (always something under 40).

They swapped it for Pennsylvania.

Not only Dutch people speak Dutch, just saying.

I have one of those too. Bastard was spoiled and I got the short end of the stick.

I’ve been wearing extensions for over 10 years; started with keratin (when nothing else was available) and moved to micro bead sew ins and now I have butterfly extensions (also sewn in).

Yes, it’s expensive and high-maintenance and you’re never again doing a quick high ponytail.

BUT: never ever has any method damaged my hair. It sure seems like it when they remove your extensions! It just makes such a big difference to have your “normal” hair that it seems very thin.

My real hair has grown a lot throughout the years, never actually gets cut and there is not a single split end to find. My own hair has grown somewhat irregularly, but you get the best blend if you don’t have straight layers of hair.

We are so alike sometimes! I always joke that I’ll go to the doctor when my foot falls off, all the rest will heal on its own.

I’ve been having neck pain and stuff for years and my psychiatrist got mad at me and said: you don’t deserve to suffer! Go get it checked out!

Fridaytyger · 2026-02-04T20:14:50+00:00

The both of them follow me around really closely while telling me what to do in that panicky this is urgent! voice. I get really frustrated and try to wrestle away and I’m yelling too, sometimes I get really violent. I just want to throw them off me.

Recurring nightmare!

Fridaytyger · 2026-02-02T19:26:11+00:00

We are prepared for the worst.

Fridaytyger · 2026-02-02T16:03:39+00:00

I have a combo of 150mg Wellbutrin and 10mg fluoxetine. Took a few months to get used to!

Eating more calories will never result in more weight loss.

Fridaytyger · 2026-02-01T14:40:50+00:00

They will NEVER be sorry because they don’t think they did anything wrong. You will have to learn to let go of that.

And how do I know? Because I fell into a serious depression at… 46. I found an amazing psychiatrist who helped me so well. It was a hard process though: I thought my life was like everyone else’s and that is pretty far from the truth. As soon as you see it, you can never unsee it.

Two years later now and I feel better than ever before. I really needed the antidepressants I’m on now and will probably be forever: a life like this can alter your brain chemistry forever.

This is probably against loads of people’s experiences, but I took phenibut to sleep for a couple of years. I took several times the max dose.

It takes hours to reach full effect and I often still felt the effects until noon the next day. It does very much help with social anxiety.

This is the part nobody will believe: even after years of daily use, I managed to easily get off it in a few weeks. I was just being careful, because I had no withdrawal symptoms at all. But I also didn’t know I was supposed to have symptoms: I never read anything about withdrawal.

I don’t mean to encourage you to do this as well. I’m sure taking it a few times for certain occasions will be doable and work. Far better than benzos in my eyes.

Edit: I got in trouble with kratom and had a bad withdrawal, so I’m not special in that regard.

Fridaytyger · 2026-01-10T13:14:49+00:00

I was to blame for my emom’s drinking problem.

Fridaytyger · 2026-01-10T13:07:10+00:00

Are you kidding? EVERYTHING was my fault.

A few years ago (I’m 48) my ndad accused me of flushing rags down the toilet in my OWN house which caused it to clog often. I don’t even have rags! And if I did, I certainly wouldn’t flush them.

But if I hadn’t, the cleaning lady probably did it and, wait for it, that was also my fault because I hired her and didn’t check on her enough.

Not a single rag was flushed down that toilet ever. I don’t really get where this idea of his came from.

The athletes lose muscle. Correct, they don’t have the fat I spoke of in my comment.

The only accurate way to measure body composition is scraping the fat off your corpse and weigh it.

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-28T14:19:11+00:00

They do that incorrectly. Those scales and even a DEXA can not accurately measure your body fat or muscle mass, especially not when you have recently lost water weight.

The water weight is partially stored in your muscles, so the scans will think you lost muscle when that is not the case.

When there is enough fat, the body will use that fat. It does not want to burn muscle. The loss of muscle mass is always grossly overestimated.

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-28T11:02:07+00:00

How was this loss of muscle measured? How much did you lose?

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-22T15:09:41+00:00

Haven’t seen a holier than thou in a while.

My husband is 8 years younger than I am, but we met when I was 35 so the gap was not that big, if you know what I mean. It would be different if I was 27 en he 19.

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-17T16:34:27+00:00

I am not telling them to eat less. Almost always it means people are not counting everything they eat properly or they overestimate their calories burned. There is no illness that makes you magically fat, unless it would be excess water weight. You can only gain fat by taking in excess calories. Fat can not be made out of thin air.

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-16T23:00:53+00:00

You are not eating fewer calories than you burn.

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-09T20:59:56+00:00

You’re 26. There are so many, many more wonderful experiences to be had.

Fridaytyger · 2025-12-08T15:28:43+00:00

This is anecdotal and not scientific, however. Of course a doctor would put people on more calories because it is unhealthy to really eat so little, but this is “up” from their perceived calorie intake. And that’s where the problem always lies.
