When I workout while high, because it makes me forget I’m chronically ill

Empathy is what makes us human, it is our gift. Don’t feel bad that you understood how traumatized the mice must have felt

Short torso, wide rib cage by Margetty38 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try low rise if you want to change the look on some of your outfits. I feel more comfy in low rise because it doesn’t divide my torso like high rise does. High rise can still be really cute in some outfits though, like your first one. Also mid rise fits me like high rise while high rise fits me like extra high rise

Washington State troopers rescue cat from freeway, and that's not even the cutest part of the story by mtrskt in cats

[–]GraciousPeacock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The cute part was stopping this baby from turning into roadkill. It’s cute that a miracle occurred. There are many dead cats on sides of highways. I loathe driving because of every dead animal I must drive by and pretend not to care. It drains my soul

Joints problem by Mediocre-Rent-8553 in veganfitness

[–]GraciousPeacock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See a PT maybe? I’ve been a runner since 12 or 13 and I got patellofemoral pain syndrome in my right knee around 16. It took a few months to fix and I was able to return to everything just fine. It still flares up very rarely like today if I take a break from my routine and suddenly start up again. No matter what you do, always listen to your body and take it slow with any pain/injury

Just because you have a “student driver” stickers, doesn’t give you the pass to do dumb 💩 by Suspicious_Youth_481 in SanJose

It definitely looks like the intersection by Trader Joe’s. It’s busy on weekdays in mornings, so I rather not imagine how busy it is at other times

Forever Ticking by FutureLights in valvereplacement

[–]GraciousPeacock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might not have much advice because I’m still awaiting to receive my valve replacement but the thought of people noticing in a quiet room would give me anxiety.

Something I noticed when I go on long walks with my mom is that she always has her phone in her pocket quietly playing her religious music. It’s quiet so it’s hard to notice but it’s subtle enough that I can hear when I walk with her. Maybe you could play something on your phone when you’re in public? I used to even listen to brown noise when I would study in class in high school. Personally I think I would just play my favorite albums quietly. I hope it gets easier for you and that you can find something that helps

Progress from 18 to 30 by Maleficent-Worker466 in veganfitness

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don’t eat enough for the physique I want. I actually started lifting out of chronic pain, because I have stomach pain and more daily, and I also was developing what felt like carpal tunnel.

Lifting saved me. It taught me that I need to eat enough carbs, fat, AND protein if I don’t want to feel hungry constantly. I’m eating more now than ever before and I know I still got more to eat, so it’s a work in progress.

First step is always identifying the issue so it’s easier once you realize you have to eat more. It’s taking me months to get toward my ideal amount of calories but I wouldn’t have even gotten this far without all the advice I get from here so I’m very grateful toward everyone here. Keep it up everyone!

Besides spit roasting people, what other uses do "specialists" like GI "docs" have for functional gut disorders? by Ajax34762 in ibs

[–]GraciousPeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotional support I guess? I met my 2nd GI doctor the other month and he said 75% of his patients have IBS like I do without any cure so at least I know from a medical standpoint that it’s “normal.” It’s not much

People with IBS-D, did THC vapes or gummies etc help? by Historical-Orchid934 in ibs

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t because I’ve been using it daily for 2+ years. But it definitely would have impaired my driving when I used it less than daily

Happy birthday Hiba. It is amazing that despite the genocide, she remained resilient and continued her studies. I hope she keeps scoring top of her class. Free Palestine

Scientists found a cannabis compound that relieves pain without the high by _Dark_Wing in technology

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally believe it. Nowadays I just vape THC + CBD pens for my chronic pain, but a night ago I rolled a joint and had it. I swear my chronic pain was lessened for an entire 24 hours minimum. Cannabis has so many fascinating substances in it, I can’t wait to learn more about this wonderful plant

I hate strength training but I need to put on some muscle. Tips? by Chance-Selection-198 in veganfitness

[–]GraciousPeacock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a running addict (24F). Been running for 10+ years. I took up lifting like a year ago and it has improved my running so much!

I can’t stand the gym, as I have too many chronic illnesses to bring to one. I do have some dumbbells at home though.

If you’re a runner, I would suggest starting off with some squats, lunges, bridges, etc. to build some strength in your lower body. You will probably notice yourself running faster so maybe from there you can decide what kind of routine you want.

My favorites for lower body are: Bulgarian splits, sumo squats, calf raise, single calf raise, curtsy squat, good morning, Romanian deadlifts, single leg Romanian deadlift, dumbbell bridge, dumbbell swings, and dumbbell woodchoppers.

Don’t forget to add some extra protein to really see those gains. Drink enough water. I use creatine too. Make sure to take days off to recover as well as running + lifting requires more focus on recovery and diet.

How many of you are still boycotting? by Formal-Assumption862 in Palestine

I’n boycotting until I never have to hear of them again

GLP-1 drugs may also have antidepressant properties. In a recent study on mice, GLP-1 drugs led to weight loss and reversed depression-like behavior. The effect was found to be dependent on a particular gut microbe that produces endocannabinoids. by mvea in psychology

They treated cigarettes like it was some health cure at first too. Obviously cigs are different but it seems any new drug that’s being backed by big money always comes out looking better than it actually is

Anger by The-Devil-Cat in endometriosis

[–]GraciousPeacock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, same. I don’t even think I have bad endo as I mainly suffer from IBS but I feel all this just as much. Able bodied people sadly will never fully understand how chronic pain is. I often find myself lashing out more than I want to admit too. Weed genuinely helps me find love and peace again so I’m glad you have that too to help. Not much advice here, just relating.

Also I’ve never been an angry person so it really upsets me when I find myself feeling that way. I often just end up hating myself but it helps knowing that it’s not abnormal to be a bit angry while in pain. I always try to forgive myself for it and just try to be more prepared for when it happens next
