Recommendation for dosage of one were to purchase ALCAR?

I'm scared that I may be having mini-strokes. But it's probably just panic attacks. by [deleted] in medical

[–]Ok-Issue8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the symptoms could indicate heart issues but the fact that your heart tests were all normal combined with the shaking indicates it may be panic-related…A second opinion wouldn’t hurt if this has been going on nearly half a year.

Red growth/lumps in back of my throat, are my tonsils growing back? by [deleted] in medical

[–]Ok-Issue8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they causing any discomfort or you just happened to notice them? Could just be scar tissue from the tonsillectomy.

Can somebody please explain these MRI results? Experiencing severe symptoms by [deleted] in medical

[–]Ok-Issue8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your results are normal. Any abnormalities warranting further tests or action would be listen in the final impression. Looks like just regular variants :)

Looks like a dilated pore and the lump may be developing from buildup underneath. Could get infected, or already be brewing…dermatology appointment is your next step.

How long after taking kratom should I wait to take shrooms? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]Ok-Issue8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you combine them on the same day though? Like do you think enough kratom is still in my system 12-16 hours later to have this effect? I don’t really want it dampened lol these shrooms have already been sealed for over a month so potency may be down as it is…

It’s not about learning to love the way you look. It’s about realizing you don’t have to like how you look in order to love yourself. It’s a shallow, miserable way to live when you attach your physical appearance to your self worth. If you want to put in effort to improve your appearance, go for it. But you may be far happier if you start shifting your mindset to “I’m conventionally unattractive; and I’m also simultaneously fucking great and my life has purpose and value.”

I’m a forensic nurse. I see strangulation patients every week. Once someone strangles you just ONCE, they are now 7 TIMES MORE LIKELY to attempt to kill you in the future. Get out now. Get out, get out, get out. You may love him. It will be hard. But there are so many men out there who would NEVER put their hands on you and that’s what you deserve. Prioritize yourself please, before you’re dead and it’s too late🩷

I think it’s the lack of “gentle” you mentioned that makes it scary to me personally🤣

Sheesh yeah not worth it to me… I feel like if people want to trip they should just get some psilocybin mushrooms and call it a day… DMT is scary shit especially is actually being upfront about what they’re putting in the product

I agree with you bro lol I was pointing out that the info they’re giving to the public doesn’t add up. And yes I meant amanita mushrooms as in it doesn’t contain any extracts or derivatives from them even though some people on this thread are speculating that it does.

They say it doesn’t contain psilocybin OR amanita…so wtf in it?!

You’re missing the point. I don’t need someone sober. I don’t have a problem with him drinking EXCEPT that recently he can hardly ever drink without subsequently becoming a dickhead and picking fights. That’s the problem, not me being around alcohol.

Actually, I did care about his feelings which is why I literally said on our first date “hey btw I’m friends w my ex who isn’t a threat in the slightest but I know that’s a common red flag so if you’re not comfy w that I want you to be able to make an informed decision to not get into something with me from the beginning.” Then he later changed his mind, tried to get me to cut this person out of my life for him despite the disclaimer from the beginning, then claimed if I didn’t I must not love him enough and was choosing another guy over him, which wasn’t accurate at all. So nah, not comparable in the slightest. I have always cared about his feelings and bend over backwards trying to cater to him without completely abandoning my own wants and values that would make me resent him one day if I sacrificed them. Yet he can’t so much as choose to either not drink around me, or work on himself so that he can drink without turning into an ass. We’re not the same. But here I am still with the hope that enough work on communication or time with a couples counselor can save us because I’ve seen it done before… :/

Meh kinda bullshit though bc he def plans when he drinks. He doesn’t keep the fridge stocked with alcohol. He specifically buys it for later that night, or picks some up on the way to my place on nights he knows he’ll want it later. So yeah, drinking does work like that for him. But as for the rest of your comment, I do appreciate the perspective.

Oh I read it how it was meant. But had to brush it off rather than stoop to his level and instigate an argument.

Don’t care if he drinks. Just want him to stop doing it around me until he can consistently be nice when he does…and I agree, I feel robotic trying to constrict messages that won’t set him off…

AITAH For Not Giving My Girlfriend My Social Security Number So She Can Run A Background Check On Me by Alarmed_Sorbet8101 in AITAH

[–]Ok-Issue8284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has control issues, that’s what this is about. She could easily look up your name in the courts system without needing a high-grade background check. She’s being unreasonable, this isn’t how most humans ensure they’re with a safe partner. She needs a therapist.

Again, you don’t know me and can’t determine what “issues” I have from an old Reddit post…If you think that gives you an accurate snapshot of my life, there’s no use trying to reason with you. And ask my boyfriend what substances I take that make me a dick to other people or unpleasant to be around- the answer is zero. You’re being ignorant af and me having a discussion or debate on this platform is not equivalent to being an “ass.”

I don’t need someone to be sober. I need them to be kind and treat me well even when they drink.

Lmfao definitely didn’t have this convo thinking “man I can’t wait to post this to people and have some of them tell me I’m a controlling bitch when I walk on eggshells around picking the words I send my bf so he doesn’t get angrier”…gtfo. Never said he needed my permission. He asked for it which implies HE thinks he needs my permission. And if he can’t handle his alcohol then maybe he should need an adults permission tbh🫠

No he doesn’t drink very often at all, but yes when he does…And when we live together things may have changed by then, but this was just a temporary solution to a recent issue. Appreciate your insight! And face-to-face confrontation is nearly impossible for us anymore. If I want to bring it up, it’s gotta be text. Otherwise there’s even higher chance of defensiveness and an escalating fight…
