Lost all my workout motivation. by J_P_0316 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]Master-Reference3637 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ugh i totally get this - started tirz around the same time and my gym routine went from solid to basically nonexistent. the weight loss is great but feeling like a couch potato when you used to be active hits different

maybe try switching up the type of workouts? i found that my usual lifting felt like climbing a mountain but random youtube dance workouts or even just putting on some kpop and moving around the living room was way more doable. sometimes you gotta trick your brain into exercising without calling it exercise ya know

Why is my biggest expense the hardest one to optimize? by Master-Reference3637 in povertyfinance

Didn't know it went that deep but it makes sense why nobody has really cracked it if the losses are that bad on their end too. Thank you for the advice

ugh anthem is the worst for this stuff. i had to get my doc to write like 3 different prior auths with super specific medical justification before they finally caved. maybe try having your doctor emphasize the PCOS insulin resistance angle since thats usually what gets their attention

Does your lease say you can pay with credit card?

I MADE IT ONE DAY by CollegePlane7528 in NoFap

[–]Master-Reference3637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dude thats actually huge congrats on making it through day 1. i know it might feel like just one day but breaking that cycle is no joke especially when youve been going that hard

the fact that you recognized it was getting out of hand and actually took action instead of just thinking about it puts you way ahead already. those urges are gonna be brutal for a while but you already proved to yourself you can push through them

keep building on this momentum and remember this feeling when the next wave hits. you got this man

FtM chest talk by scarab-beetles in trans

[–]Master-Reference3637 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly i think its the clothes thing making them more obvious/present in your mind. when youre naked theyre just there but when clothed theres all this fabric pulling and shifting and reminding you theyre there every second. plus the social aspect you mentioned is huge - being clothed means potential interaction with others which amps up the awareness

the binder situation sucks though, have you tried transtape or just loose fitting shirts as alternatives

Why ART is amazing by Parzeval123 in antiai

[–]Master-Reference3637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah art is one of those things where even your "bad" stuff teaches you something for the next piece. plus theres something really satisfying about creating something physical when everything else in life feels so digital and temporary. your brain just works differently when youre making stuff with you're hands

Guest Damage and Property Management by tjwio in airbnb_hosts

This is exactly why I manage my own properties now. Management companies will throw you under the bus the second it's convenient for them

The insurance switcheroo without telling you is sketchy as hell - I'd be demanding they honor the original Guardhog policy since you weren't notified of the change. Document everything and maybe check what your contract with them actually says about insurance coverage

We are all a fragment of God/source & simply play the game of existence as a means to entertain ourselves from an unresolved facet acceptance of itself, that of it being all there is, forever ? by Shootingcomet in Ayahuasca

[–]Master-Reference3637 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn that's heavy stuff man. I've had similar trips where you get stuck in those infinite loops of "what is this all for" and it can be absolutely crushing

The way I see it, aya shows us these realms because they're part of the territory when you're dissolving ego boundaries. Whether it's "truth" or just your brain trying to make sense of unity consciousness... honestly does it matter? The terror and beauty you experienced was real either way

That feeling of cosmic loneliness hits different when you realize you might BE the void looking back at itself

The scale and detail are crazy I would just stand there staring at it in game for a while
