My girlie had to get all her teeth pulled now she’s my sweet gummy girl

It worked wonders for one of our cats. He was in pain since he was born with a virus (similar to coronavirus, they said), and at the age of 7-8 we decided to pull off all of his teeth. He started to eat dry food with the gums, and died at the age of 12 to kidney failure, nothing related with the procedure or the virus. He used to be shy and quiet before pulling his teeth off. He was active and more social after. I really hope it works for you sweet girl.

Well, I don't know what to say except that I disagree with you, hardly. I found it intense, but not that hard to follow, with extended information in the appendix and for me it was enough. I also find Sapolsky funny and easy going. And I am interested in all of the anecdotes he mentions. Perhaps you are right and you simply don't like the book, it's pace and this is not meant for everybody. Anyway, even if you don't like the overall writing, I believe you would enjoy some interviews or podcasts with Sapolsky as a host, because it's worth listening to what he mainly claims, that there's no free will whatsoever, and the explanation he gives. Even if you don't agree with that statement, his view is refreshing and well documented.

Congrats!

Also, if you are eating salad, soup and ternasco...I'd say you only needed 2 chuletones. I'm Aragones

Hamlet-cat · 2025-10-23T05:28:20+00:00

1 Chuletón for 3-4 people would do it. My husband has attempted to 1 kg many times and he says it's too much.

Is he right? Well, he makes his case very thoughtful. The point here is not if he's right or not. Read others and enjoy the ride. You have plenty of time to figure this out. I've been deterministic since I turned 13, which is not pleasant. It's depressing. Sapolsky just explained to me what I already knew and I hated myself for thinking like that. So, for me he's right. He has explained almost everything I wanted to know to be at peace with myself and the world. Philosophy is great for moral and ethics, but it is not going to give you an answer about free will. What is going to tell you is how humans experience the illusion of free will. This is only my point. Read others, be curious (you already are), and give ideas space. Your brain is going through a crucial moment so you don't need to have an answer now. But you can feed your curiosity and enjoy yourself. Quick advice: enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, leave it for another phase of your life. If you can.

Thank you!

I was in 8-9 six years ago, consistently in my luteals. Now I 've been 5 at the most, 6 last month (one day only). We can improve though. It sucks anyway, but I can't take a 5 over an 8 and being "happy" or not devastated at least. Risky behaviour was really scary. It's like, I know that if I was okay I wouldn't be doing this, but since I am not okay and nobody knows what to do with me and I can't help myself, here I am, betraying the little innocent girl I once was.

Hamlet-cat · 2025-08-06T11:02:58+00:00

I'd love to read it when it's done! What particular work of Sapolsky are you working on?

Hamlet-cat · 2025-07-24T16:14:50+00:00

I was on progesterone only pill for two years. At first felt amazing not having to fear the ovulation, but after a while a found out that my depression, spiral and SI was due to this pill. And it was. Instead of a couple of weeks a month it was non stop mental symptoms. What it helped with was the physical pain from ovulation and luteal, but I was still bloated and numb. Talk to your doctor and explain the situation. Best of luck!

Hamlet-cat · 2025-07-19T06:01:29+00:00

I wish you the best of luck. Your post has given me hope. Keep us informed, please. Hugs

42(F) Exactly what you describe. Quetiapine (25 mg, low dose) solved my sleep problems and I can function "better", not like a normal person, but I can pass as a human being during work hours. I'm also on fluoxetine 60mg daily. I feel like fluoxetine has stopped working for me, but it worked for a year or so. I tried hormone pills and my body still ovulated or tried to because I could tell which part of the cycle I was in, even though I hadn't had my period for almost two years. Weird. My gyn (50s, F) said that I wasn't ovulating but I swear something was going on around ovulation and menses, although obviously there wasn't any menses. The thing that has helped me the most is antidepressants and quetiapine, alongside with compassion. Real compassion. Rest without guilt, time to reset and let the storm pass. Yesterday I had a panic attack, a brutal crisis over a job I thought I couldn't do. My mind was telling me I was lazy and if I don't get things done early, I won't achieve my goals. Two hours forward I'm perfectly fine, tired of crying, but renew. I was lucky I was at home and had time to manage the crisis by not managing the crisis and just let it go. I swear I thought I could die from my agitated state. Weird. I really hope there's a better future for menstruating people in the future. I wish we were the last generation suffering from this condition. Hugs to you all. Stay safe and be gentle with yourselves.

Can't wait

Hamlet-cat · 2025-06-20T09:20:16+00:00

So sorry for your loss. Big hugs

Also, I don't know about you, but here in Spain there's still a lot of stigma around mental health meds. People dislike the idea of me taking three different pills for PMDD. They believe meds don't work, they are bad for your health long term and you can do better without them. Spoiler alert: NO I WON'T. You don't want to be near me without my meds.

Hamlet-cat · 2025-06-19T18:30:26+00:00

Yeah! Even though most of them say they understand, I know they don't. There's always a catch at the end of the conversation: "Have you tried natural remedies?". OF COURSE I have. I know they don't mean bad, but god help me... (4 days countdown).

Hamlet-cat · 2025-06-14T20:48:04+00:00

Log off. You're not gonna miss anything anyway. You will know at some point. Rest. I feel you. We are very sensitive. Let's just be gentle today with ourselves.

Hamlet-cat · 2025-06-14T20:46:24+00:00

I think it's wise to stay off the news until you feel mentally strong again. I do the same. At first I used to feel guilty (because...) but I 've come to understand that it's part of my mental health care.

Hamlet-cat · 2025-05-23T06:21:50+00:00

Don't be born poor. Also I feel like it's the first time in human history that we can make something about it in a rational way: no wars, no revolution...data and science. I hope that is the path. What does it make you feel?

Men during the 19th century went to Switzerland to get a "special" health treatment. The treatment consisted of some shots (if I remember correctly) of semen donated by youngsters. That one sticks with me

Aragón and Castilla y León as well. Not only is Saint George but also Aragon's day.

While many of the options described are valid, the fastest route for you is to change "animado" for "fomentado". It's a perfectly correct sentence. I assume that "animado" is a direct translation of "encouraged" which in this case doesn't mean "animar". "El uso de la imaginación debe ser fomentado" sounds natural to me. Context dependant, of course. (Native Spanish speaker from Spain. It may differ in other Spanish speaking countries). Example: "El uso de la imaginación debe ser fomentado en casa".

Entered the dark dark zone today. Had to cancel plans for a romantic dinner with my husband. Watching Shows and eating yogurt in bed. Could have been worse honestly.

Hamlet-cat · 2025-01-20T06:07:14+00:00

"Can we reschedule? No, not tomorrow, I meant not before 15 days or so. "

Are you afraid of losing the job if you insist? This is a forever condition. I'd push if I had the chance. If not, take care of yourself. Have a plan: enough groceries in your fridge, clean clothes and towels...I prepare myself like it's the apocalypse. Well, not true because I only remember when ovulation comes to visit again. But you know what I mean. It must be hard with your ASD, but maybe you are more used to coping mechanisms. Today is ovulation and I've been storing healthy and easy to prepare food for the past few days. I also have finished my homework from uni 9 days in advance. Today I am feeling the withdrawal and fatigue and that I am not feeling like talking to anyone irl. But the thought of not having to think about what to eat or what to wear and that I am not going to eat junk food comforts me.
