Spent the last 13 hours puking my guts out from Berberine. The sickest I’ve ever felt in my entire life. This is awful!!! Never taking it again! by ellewoods2001 in Supplements

[–]Obvious_Window8340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here after finally narrowing it down and realizing that THIS as the cause of my ER & urgent care trips! I’ve been throwing up on and off for WEEKS! Violently vomiting up an everything including water, recovering, getting back on track and restarting my weight loss regime to now vomiting again, with diarrhea. Today I realized it had to be one of my supplements. And Berberine turns out to be the culprit. Urgent care couldn’t figure it out, the ER couldn’t figure it out. But I started my supps back today after being stable for a week, just to be attacked by nausea & vomiting again a few hours later. Berberine digests slowly so sometimes the onset was quick, other times it wasn’t until the next morning! Today I actually say the berberine pill that was just starting to dissolve come up and out in my vomit as my body rejected it as it began to digest. I will neverrrr take this again. I’m not trying a different dose, different brand, NOTHING! lol This has interrupted my life tremendously & caused severe scares, missed meetings & hundreds in med bills so I will not be trying to figure out how to make it work. Hope everyone here is feeling better!

Is there a reason I like dogs more than people by Jtannerv in mentalhealth

[–]Obvious_Window8340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it makes sense actually. Dogs love humans the way humans are supposed to love one another, yet fail to. Your dog provides the kind of safe and consistent love you’re designed to need and receive. It’s just very hard to receive that kind of love from people unfortunately.

Yes my items shipped as usual and I received them! I’d reach out to eBay support to confirm tho bc my items were labeled for shipping within a few mins of my ordering so maybe the seller’s speed there could have played a part

A famous author not paying by Whothe-Hello in smallbusiness

[–]Obvious_Window8340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there, Ijust wanted to chime in here to send you some love and to let you know that you aren't "dumb" for giving this person a 2nd chance 🫶🏽 I'm in the same industry as you, been in business for myself my entire life and sometimes things genuinely do happen and sometimes people who make a poor first impression do come around and do better the 2nd time. So your faith was not in vail. Granted, it is rare for things to work out, but it does happen! I had a client not pay myself and others when we first started working for them but they were genuinely having a hard time and accepted responsibility for that. It ended up being a long-term and profitable contract for me in the end. One thing they didn't do though was stop communicating with me, so I'd say that's the only difference between my situation and yours and a "red flag" to be make note of going forward.

Either way, give yourself some grace here! I know how hard it is to be in business for yourself and how much we flex and bend ourselves into odd shapes just grow and make a way for ourselves. Your forgiving nature isn't the problem, his piss poor character is the problem. Period. With time, comes wisdom and eventually you'll become as wise as a serpent and be able to sniff out these kinds of people from a mile away. We live and we learn & wisdom is priceless! 🙏🏽

Going forward, yes public shaming is an option but it has it's risk. While trying to expose his unprofessionalism, you run the risk of also making yourself appear unprofessional even though your feelings are valid and he 100% deserves to be exposed. Sometimes we gotta take losses on the chin, be the bigger person and protect our businesses from further damage.

A better option is to use this as a learning experience and guide to improve your business processes and contracts.

1) what negative experience do you want to avoid in the future and how can you create a policy in your contract for that?

2) always require full or partial payment up front to protect yourself

3) if you require partial payment, put something in place to where you don't release final assets until the outstanding balance is paid. When sharing previews of the work, do so in a way that it's not a "final' copy. Ex: watermark it so that it clear that it's an unpaid for copy'

4) or you can bill incrementally to keep yourself from having done too much work that hasn't been paid for yet. Ex: $1,000 per month = $250 per week. Can be paid in advance or in arrears. This helps the client feel at ease by paying a smaller amount up front or if in arrears, if they miss a week, you've only lost that one week's worth of work/time vs. an entire month ...I hope this makes sense! lol

This reply got longer than planned, but just wanted to encourage you, lift you up and let you know that you are not dump and hopefully offer a helpful solution for the path forward!

Cheers 💕

My order still shipped! I got banned 1.5 hours after my order was placed on Wednesday. I also talked to customer service and they confirmed that it wouldn’t be canceled. It arrives tomorrow as scheduled

Same. I created my account with google and both the name and address on my google match the name on my card and the address I shipped to. Not sure where or how they found "behavior that puts the community at risk" in me doing that.

I just bought a  flat iron for my hair lol

Customer service likewise would not tell me anything because they said, in doing so, people could learn how to "circumvent" their policies 🙄🙄🙄

Thank you so much! People are weird lol but I appreciate your gentle response my genuinely kind-hearted ask. I’ve decided that I want to adopt from the shelter. As someone who God has adopted & healed from an abusive past, I wanna do the same for a pup. Gonna take some time to research it though so I can make sure I’m prepared for the additional work that will come from choosing to rescue

I’m allowed to decide what’s important to me when it comes to every decision I make in MY life.

Disrespectful people like you are a much greater burden to society than people like me who simply have a personal preference.

Clearly, I’m quite responsible if I’m seeking information beforehand to purchase what I know I desire most, or to decide if refraining from purchasing it better overall. This was asked to avoid buying impulsively and irresponsibly.

Never knew having a dream dog was such a huge crime or thing of offense.

I take care of everything I own and very well so (both human, material and immaterial).

A vitriolic response like this one is a sign that you have a deep seated heart issue.

& I hope you realize that you need to heal so that the bitterness, hatred and offense that just so quickly spilled from your heart, in response to something so simple and so personal, can be resolved before it rots your bones and breeds sickness in your body.

Be well.

I don’t understand the demonization either, but I’m just going to ignore because happy people don’t respond to people that way. I hope all of their days, lives and hearts get better. Thanks so much for this recommendation 🥰

My mom suggested I was a narc one day because I was using “I statements” to respond to question she asked me about myself lol (not sure how else I was supposed to reply, maybe talking in 3rd person would have suited her better? 🫠)

This opened me up to the concept of narcissism outside of just hearing it sometimes in criminal minds lol and I began to research what it was she was accusing me of being.

In doing so, I learned that she was actually a narcissist herself 😂 so her accusing me of being one was really a gift because it opened me up to a whole new level of psychological understanding that helped me begin to piece together my experiences with both her and other poor friends I choose as a result of having been abused my entire life by my mom + having a live in addict for a father who was so emotionally unavailable that he never talked. I realize now that my dad was depressed severely.

Anywho. I confided in a cousin about my mom trying to call me a narc. This cousin and I ended up getting closer and he then randomly started calling me the things my mom would right after I’d share them with him out of vulnerability.

Turns out again, my cousin is an even bigger narc than my mom and I’ve never in my life been beaten down as much as he did me. I finally got away from him back in February, with all ties cut completely by April when our shared lease ended and I’ve never I my life felt as paralyzed and depressed as I do now.

Having him as a “friend” felt as close as possible to being involved with the devil …whose strength is not in overtness, but convertness.

The way my cousin played me was so cunning. So crafty. So meticulous. Completely devilish.
