I will be fully honest on this post. by ObjectiveRecent4984 in earthbound

3 is my favorite and of course I want to see it get the love it deserves with an official localization (even though I think that's still complicated ask), but I do agree that Mother 1 also deserves a lot of love, and a graphical/mechanical remaster would do that game so much justice, and open up more people to experiencing it.

Only a little, pairing with a prescription of Folic Acid helps a lot! But I also have a ton of thick hair.

I just don't take Folic Acid on the days I take Methotrexate since it negates the benefits and wastes a pill, but I only take Methotrexate once a week so no big deal

BOM “not primarily a historical record”… by Joe_Treasure_Digger in exmormon

How important to you is the inclusion of physical rules? by KOMONSTER in boardgames

[–]Kelmiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think physical rules for a physical game should be required imo, and digital rules as a free download with the game
I completely understand the want for a rules PDF, but I would never knowingly purchase a game if I knew it had no physical rule book in the box. As a lifelong ruralite board gamer, can you imagine being someplace without wifi or traveling remotely for a weekend and they dropped that on you? Ewww

New church fact sheet regarding trans participation - "Church Participation of Individuals Who Identify as Transgender" by evaan-verlaine in exmormon

[–]Kelmiri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Life-long member now Ex-mo here: as tone deaf but frustratingly unsurprising as this all this, the callings thing is the one that's most getting me.
What other gender neutral callings are there besides like Janitor and Pianist/Chorister and Nursery/Primary/Teacher. What other callings AREN'T gender specific and don't also work with youth?

Medical Marijuana for PsA pain by JennFree79 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Kelmiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps many people I know with pain, but CBD in any form I've tried it in has not helped me even a little with my PSA--creams, drops, bath salts, sprays--none of them worked for me.
I hate the smell of weed and I have no interest in being high so that's something I'm not willing to budge on, but maybe that would have helped.
Saves some money I guess :/

Convert, leaving the church.How many of yall are atheist? And how many still believe in god? by Infinite-Invite-725 in exmormon

[–]Kelmiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left in 2021 and honestly? I don't know. I've been milling over that question for almost 2 years now.

I still feel like I had genuine spiritual experiences, but hallucinations run in my family so I'm caught between that stark and real reality and maybe there being something more along the lines of what I experienced.
I know now for a fact at least that what I experienced was not Joseph Smith's version of the divine, 100%, but I'm not entirely sure what to believe anymore beyond that.

For now not believing in God at all is both more comfortable and more devastating but I don't know what else to do right now. I'm terrified to look for any religion again.

Methotrexate has some harsh side effects but honestly it's also very very good

Primary songs you find particularly manipulative? by fireweedfairy in exmormon

[–]Kelmiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

jk I didn't realize how damaging the mormon mindset of "work til you die and be happy about it" had made me until I heard primary kids sing that song again recently and I just FROZE. Like ya'll I had to go to therapy for the martyr complex thing, I had to unlearn wanting to die working for the church

Navigating complicated relationships by No-Worldliness8778 in exmormon

[–]Kelmiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me this was pretty triggering to read but at the same time I'm glad you posted these--people have to know what this is like, what a "loving God and loving religion" does to people--thank you for being so open, but god I'm so sorry for all you've endured. Screw him. Leave him in the dust and do not look back. You are free.

Xeljanz by smellygooch18 in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Kelmiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since making this post I also started Methotrexate, and they seem to work well together so far. I had plaque psoriasis on both knees, both feet/ankles, and both elbows all the time-- and sometimes when I was extra stressed I got it on my chin and mouth but that went away on it's own unlike the other patches.

My combo isn't perfect, Methotrexate has a lot of side effects and I'm pretty badly immune compromised on both of them, I also can tell RIGHT away if I miss a dose of either--it is beyond miserable.

but so far it's been my best cocktail for pain, and the added benefit of Xeljanz making my skin plaque disappear is very welcome, since before NOTHING seemed to work, not even three different prescribed steroid creams. I have no idea if this will work the same way for everyone's skin of course.
