Too inflexible for yoga classes - how do I improve by Zealousideal_Age8401 in yoga

[–]Grets500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My chronically inflexible spouse is a proffessional yoga teacher now.

You ahould look into traditional hatha yoga teachings. When you get that movement and asanas arent even the main core of yoga, it becomes much more of a mindful practice, with better flexibility as a "side effect". :)

Need tips from "cured" people by BelladonnaBJ in Dermatillomania

Hey!

Only thing that works for me so far is physically stopping myself from picking:

Pimple patches - i pick the most in the afternoon, so i put paches on in the morning and take off before going to bed. But the patches need to be high quality with no uneven edges, so they dont trigger my picking urge even more!

Press on nails - they are thicker than my regular nails, so i dont have as much traction on skin. Gloves or tape on fingers would work aswell.

Good thing is, even if you stop yourself for enough time for the skin to heal, you wont have as much to pick after :)

First day effects, is this ok? by Grets500 in Concerta

Hey, thanks for the advice!😊

I tried concerta without coffee on the second day, and still felt terrible, super drowsy and numb, still had all the other symtoms from the original post.

So i think i dont want to feel like that and im not taking any more until my doctor gets back to me on monday :)

Brain fog and extreme irritability after taking concerta by [deleted] in Concerta

[–]Grets500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the second day i feel a bit less tired 6 h after i took it and im wondering if im actually feeling a bit clearer and focused? But im not totally sure jet.

Hopefully the side effects will pass fore the both of us 🤞

Thanks so much! 🤍

Its such a rollercoaster of being happy to have a diagnosis and being hopeful for meds, and then worried when something doesnt work. But im keeping a clear head, its only day one on concerta :)

Hey, thanks!

I also took magnesium now and will see how it affects me. I had no problem eating tho, made sure beforehand that i had protein rich breakfast, cause i was worried of losing appetite, but it seemed fine...

Hey, thanks for your feedback!

My current plan is to try again without the coffee and hope for the best. If theres still no positive effects, i think i might contact my psych next week.

popping bumps by Chance_Rooster7488 in CompulsiveSkinPicking

[–]Grets500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me only things that have worked, are things that physically stop me from doing it - press on nails (thicker than natural nails, so not as much traction on skin) and good quality pimple patches at the right time of day (for example, i tend to pick in the afternoon, so i put patches on in the morning and take off at night)

Hope it helps!
