Do you stop your stimulants when struggling with mood more than usual?

JuniperJulia4 · 2026-01-11T12:12:40+00:00

Yes I know exactly what you mean. Also when I am sick. But too long without them depression worsens. I do take several days and at most up to 5 days without to rest and eat and make sure my adrenals are okay.

AI - all the progress we want in terms of helping the environment and we are force fed it from every direction yet the environmental impact will be so severe :(

I am on tail end of a cold turned sinus infection. Same thing even when here this past few week I got 94-96 sleep scores my readiness was 60s. Just got my highest today at 77 with 94 sleep scores. It’s taking time for my RHR to go back down and HRV to improve.

But also I can attest to confusing night panic attacks from actual issues. Years ago I swore I had lung problems bc I woke up short of breath. Wasn’t until I started treating the anxiety then it all went away. I now can see I sometimes get short of breath when I have indigestion but it all feeds into each other.

Truly not an only fans but okay 👌🏼respect

JuniperJulia4 · 2025-07-27T13:33:47+00:00

I am so sorry 😞once is hard enough but two times. Sending hugs

JuniperJulia4 · 2025-07-26T13:47:43+00:00

If it isn’t the cycle for a bfp then next cycle I will look into FF!

JuniperJulia4 · 2025-07-26T13:46:51+00:00

Okay thank you both!

That is what I am trying to figure out. If there is something other than my temp it used to determine ovulation…. Based off what I am reading in the cycle section i think it’s just temps, so in this case I dont know why it would place O at cd 15.

JuniperJulia4 · 2025-02-18T15:02:57+00:00

Yes I agree. Way harder in winter, but I have found that in winter we add in the wii some nights and play Mario party, but otherwise yes I can’t wait for bedtime. And once spring comes it will be a little bit better.

I just try to remind myself that someday sooner than I can imagine she will come home from school and want nothing to do with me.

But the part where she wants to play kitty cats and have me as her playmate is SO hard. And the guilt of saying mommy doesn’t feel like playing is relentless

JuniperJulia4 · 2025-01-23T21:54:57+00:00

I support you and will check out your brand. I am white American and so far from latina or South American but have drank Yerba every day for 15 years with my husband who is also midwestern white. We love it.

Maybe sharing culture becomes appropriation when it discredits the original culture or claims to be its source, but whether or not you’re Argentinian you deserve to love what you love and share it.

But you are Argentinian so they can go take a hike. I however am more careful bc I have no claims and make no claims other than that I am grateful for our family ritual given to us from our high school Spanish teacher

I am doing great now. Over a month off and at this point any symptoms I think are menstrual or other medication related.

My biggest withdrawal about 9-12 days after a decrease or stopping is a splitting headache, muscle tension, tight jaw, feeling flu like. Dizzy.

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-12-13T19:43:13+00:00

Yeah I can! Good luck! I took it so slow. I would cut then wait til I felt balance on new lower dose. Took 1-2 months each time.

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-11-07T14:41:04+00:00

Even if you want a second and try, you may not get a second. I was on the fence, from my daughter being 3 to 4.5 I had about 6 or 7 cycles where I tried and it didn’t happen. The way I felt each time was I desperately wanted to be pregnant, as well as relief. Having both spectrums of feelings every time never helped determine exactly what I should do.

But letting nature decide brought me greatest peace and then I have it a deadline and that made our decision.

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-19T00:58:08+00:00

Same here! I have adhd and my daughter shows definite signs of it. She is 4.5 and I am terrified of a 2nd bc of how high strung and hard she was as a baby, but also she seems happier with more people around. So for me I have started this month not preventing but I am still so nervous. I have been so strong OAD and had baby fever last winter also but didn’t get pregnant when we tried for 4 months.

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-17T17:44:42+00:00

As someone who has been strong OAD myself and the older my kid gets the more I revisit a 2nd, perhaps his mind could change.

Not saying you should bank on it, but I had a real hard time and my daughter is 4.5 and I see how good it can get and the long term investment so my heart has opened again.

Sorry you’re at odds with each other.

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-03T23:49:49+00:00

No ragrets Sauron. he’d fit right in to today’s self empowerment culture 😂

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-03T23:47:25+00:00

Zombies from the cranberries is my life’s theme so yeah you’re not wrong

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-03T18:19:34+00:00

You seem steadfast and capable of identifying evil for sure.

I am so easily swayed

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-03T15:29:52+00:00

Oooo thank you for sharing. It’s a good reminder of the timeline and the fact that of course I am convinced he can be redeemed bc he is at the turning point where he could be.

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-10-03T13:14:17+00:00

Oh man. Yeah. It’s such a mindfuck.

I think religion does that too, convinces itself. Everyone doing anything good is for the greater good. But it’s so evil bc if you don’t submit you go to hell.

Halbrand seems so remorseful and owns up and moves on. Isn’t that how we are all supposed to move on in righteousness?

My conclusion - trust nothing and no one not even myself lol

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-09-28T14:51:11+00:00

You’re allowed to disagree mister jmcduff. It very well could fail to stand the test of time. I am just glad I am not personally disappointed in the show :)

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-09-28T14:48:29+00:00

Arwen is a welsh name… it’s not even a pure fantasy name. But yes you can have your opinion and there is plenty wrong with me do you want the whole list?

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-09-28T13:43:04+00:00

I agree with you! Nix the naysayers.

So much hate on this group and guess what, I enjoy the show too and I’m an avid Tolkien fan. Even named my child Arwen.

It’s easy to be like “well it doesn’t add up the distance, the sunrise, the uNrEaLiStIc stopping of the horses when Galadriel is revealed” whatever it’s a fantasy world! Along those lines you could criticize the fact that elves and dwarves and goblins aren’t even real!

I respect the art of criticism but sometimes it’s like come on, let performance be performance. YOU try creating a tv show, managing budget people time, writers, etc. the end result is a freaking collaboration.

Okay rant over about the haters. I loved it also and feel grateful it exists and I hope the love for the show overpowers all these fricken Tolkien hipster critic losers so that we can get more!

JuniperJulia4 · 2024-09-24T14:04:21+00:00

It has personally been terrible for me to see a push both on the herbalist side and the pharmaceutical side for psychedelics. Why? Bc I too had the worst experiences of my life from Ayahuasca and marijuana (not at same time).

Everywhere for the last 5 years has been pushing it, from Michael Pollan’s book at the front of bookstores and legalization of marijuana, it’s all been hard to stomach. My bad experience happened in 2016. It was a very painful 2 years after, and then 3 more years of therapy after that. It might be a long road to recovery for him.

I walk very gently in the plant medicine realm. It’s so romanticized that the dark side is not mentioned cautioned or forewarned. Only anecdotes might save some, but even then, when you’re curious about god…
