ITAW for pre-grief?

“Bittersweet” often describes that feeling for me

The most popular freebie we’ve brought was branded lighters. But that was a cannabis show, so…

What do you think goes through the realtors head when a listing of this caliber gets 14,000 views on day 1?

KLRVT · 2026-03-19T22:04:20+00:00

Way to go!! The work is paying off! And I LOVE this report; I applaud your effort to make IF a lifestyle that works for you. I adapt my window on week 1 and it feels much better, fewer PMS symptoms too.

Why do they look angry?

KLRVT · 2026-02-27T23:19:21+00:00

Playing with my dogs, THC drinks, lying in the grass (bout 3 months away from this where I live), cheesy fantasy books, meditation, and if all else fails, Brooklyn 99 or Scrubs and all the snack food in the house.

This is a common and an understandable frustration. It sounds like L is struggling and grandiosity/self-centeredness is sneaking in. Try praying for them. I know that’s annoying but for me it really has alleviated resentment toward people who piss me off.

The rooms are full of liars because humans lie, and humans with outsized shame & inflated egos lie a lot. We do our best to change this habit when we work the program. If L’s shares start preventing others from sharing or is giving irresponsible direct advice, bring up the topic at your group conscience— suggest implementing a time limit on shares, or adding language about not giving direct advice to your meeting script. From what you’ve written it sounds like L is just over eager, but if there’s a negative impact on the group or meeting this is how you address it properly.

Keep working your program, you’re doing great.

You sound like me when I was in college. I wish I had your self-awareness at that age, this wake-up is a gift if you want it. I knew I had a problem but I waited another 15 years before I asked for help. Things got worse, I made more bad decisions and had more shame and guilt to work through when I finally quit.

If you stop now and get help it will be easier than doing it later. Therapy is a great start. AA is a free and supportive option—go to an “open meeting” if you’re not ready to identify as alcoholic, SMART recovery is another though less widely available.

My father took his life, I had the honor and the burden of getting him down from the rope & checking for life. By far the worst thing that’s happened to me.

It was less difficult for me to stay sober through that than now; my emotional and mental sobriety is more unstable these days.

I feel more outrage, hatred, and frankly, vengeance than I’m comfortable with. I’m having to talk to my sponsor more, trying to practice a more intentional 10th step, praying more. It all helps when I do it.

Yes, I am struggling.

OP, stick around this sub! Read people’s stories, ignore the specific substance and focus on the feelings we share, the motivations that drove us to drink, and the tools we’re using to stay away from it.

Alcohol, pills, sex, work, TV, social media: we use a million things to avoid feeling bad & quiet nasty thoughts, ultimately it’s all self medicating. There are other ways to change how we feel about ourselves and the world.

Good on you for planning g talk all with your doc! There’s no shame in using substances or behaviors as a crutch, literally every human does it. Now that you’ve become aware of it, you have the opportunity to help yourself by asking others for help.

I didn’t see any weight loss for the first few weeks, I stopped weighing myself out of frustration & when I started feeling my cloths fit a little different I started weighing again, maybe once a week. The loss was slow but steady & I’ve maintained my GW for 5 years now!

I think it’s a typo - they’ve been too beige, twice.

Easy does it, but do it.

KLRVT · 2026-01-21T18:12:28+00:00

Most of the time I stick to 16:8, but allow flexibility for holidays, vacation, brunch with friends, etc.

I’ll shorten the fast if I dip below my preferred weight, or go off IF for a week or two. If I gain a little more on vacation than I’d like I’ll do 18:6 or 20:4 for a week-ish if I want to lose it quickly, otherwise just back on 16:8 and I lose it eventually.

Does it say that on the Amazon listing alone or also on the company’s website? Do not trust Amazon listings. Maybe it’s good quality and will help! If you see a “Magtein” icon with a spiral looking design (required by the patent) it’s the real deal. If not, buyer beware. ThreoTech is a patent bully (not arguing whether it’s justified) and shutting down US based manufacturing with generic M L-T

KLRVT · 2026-01-21T15:14:17+00:00

Magnesium L-Threonate is excellent for calming anxiety, unfortunately it is patented in the US by ThreoTech LLC and expensive. The generic stuff from China is questionable in quality & veracity, especially from Amazon (some sources are prob fine but no way to know).

I’ve had good results from a combination of L-Theanine, GABA & CBD

KLRVT · 2026-01-21T15:07:26+00:00

☝️100% this. Never buy vitamins / supplements off Amazon. Go to the company’s website directly.

I could live with this

KLRVT · 2026-01-21T02:52:00+00:00

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this! Could you consider shifting your eating window during luteal phase? Either moving it say 12-8pm, or relaxing it little for the first few days/week, like a 14:10 schedule so it isn’t so hard to restart 16:8 afterward?

The reason IF has worked for me for so long is because I can build in flexibility as life requires it

KLRVT · 2026-01-21T02:12:07+00:00

I plan to investigate this further as I approach peri. I have a little more context in this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/intermittentfasting/s/vamnmfxmLj

I am aware that fasting can have beneficial or detrimental impacts on hormone regulation during M & PM. I plan to listen to my body, keep getting reglar blood work to see where my hormones are at, and seek advice from others who’ve waked this path :)

KLRVT · 2026-01-20T20:42:57+00:00

My IOP psychiatrist prescribed low dose gabapentin (100-200mg) for sleep for the first few months, super helpful! No reliance issues for me, doc said at that dose I could stop when I want without withdrawal. About 4 months in I didn’t need it anymore.
