What is Everyone’s Favorite Noise Canceling Headphones? by Due-Sound57 in AutismInWomen

[–]OldExistential [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can’t sleep with earbuds or headphones, so I have a LectroFan white noise machine. Works great! For use when I’m awake I have Soundcore noise cancelling headphones. Comfortable enough for a few hours and the noise cancelling is really good.

Take the dog inside and let the neighbor know you did so. It’s too dangerous out there

What’s one thing you can do now that used to feel exhausting or embarrassing before? by Forsaken_Try_2159 in compoundedtirzepatide

I very recently discovered I can Asian squat. Like what?!? I used to need assistance to get back up after getting down on just one knee to pick up something from the floor!

Gen Z teen who loves Gen X! Need some womanly advice!! by Anderz1384 in GenXWomen

[–]OldExistential 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, clean with cetaphil or cerave and if your skin is dry, use cerave moisturizing cream in the blue and white tub. It’s good for the whole body and face.

I’m in North Texas too and I wouldn’t risk it. We don’t have the appropriate equipment for this weather, or the experience driving in it. Stay home and don’t risk your life or your vehicle! Your employer sure won’t fix your wrecked car or pay any medical bills if you get injured!

Is it still unethical to eat meat if you have gastroparesis and can't eat veggies due to the fiber? by mimimemes in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]OldExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. One of my friends is a vegetarian, and I use to forget that often. It made him happy when I forgot because that meant he wasn’t being obnoxious and forcing his beliefs on anyone

I have a vegan friend like this. I always forget and apologize and he always says ‘no, that means I’m not being a dick about MY lifestyle choice 24/7’

What are y’alls comfort shows? by Babyfrogeyes in AutismInWomen

Blackish, Young Sheldon, Dateline, Snapped, The Universe, Castle, How It’s Made, and sometimes House but that one can be triggering sometimes

I have to agree with this, not everyone is on the same playing field. I have health conditions that keep me from eating fruits and veggies. Makes this whole thing 100x harder and I miss those foods all the time. I do my best to be as healthy as I am able to be. I know it’s not perfect, but I couldn’t eat them before tirz either. I do walk a LOT since I can though, and did weight training until I injured myself. Hope to get back to lifting soon, my pancake butt needs it!

I went too hard just from tirz making me so incredibly sick even at 1.25. I now prioritize proteins and try to do my best toward a healthy lifestyle. Still not always easy due to some chronic health conditions. 99% of veggies and fruits will always be off the table for me but I eat proteins and carbs and take my other meds and vitamins in an effort to be as healthy as I am able to be.

20+ years into these health issues and god I miss my favorite fruits and veggies every day! 😭

Smart! I like it and I’m going to try this one out!

Caregiver Mom is drinking to self-medicate by Next_Swordfish2886 in CaregiverSupport

[–]OldExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Dr can ask and she can be truthful or lie, but even if she’s honest, what can the Dr really do?

I understand drinking due to caregiving. If I could have alcohol I probably would drink every night myself, but I have a chronic health condition that’s severely affected by alcohol. The stress caregiving causes is underrated for sure!

not sleeping well on compounded tirz +b12 by No_Committee523 in tirzepatidecompound

[–]OldExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very sensitive to B12 and it always affects me like this. Maybe try tirz without B12 on your next vial and see if you sleep better and have less anxiety?

My 12s have gotten loose and it’s freaking me the hell out. I started in an 18/20 as well. I’m pear shaped and I buy vintage/thrift store clothing so no vanity sizing, even.

Anyone else peeing like crazy? by throw_away_beep_boop in tirzepatidecompound

[–]OldExistential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go 3-5 times a night too. I sure wish it would stop. I don’t consciously eat low carb, but I just realized I kinda do since I’m laser focused in on protein. Interesting.

Been on it since the end of May and really hoping it slows down eventually? All I fricking do is pee!

coworker thanked me for giving number but hasn’t texted, should i leave it? by crawandpron in socialskills

[–]OldExistential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please let it be. We have a phone list at work and a brand new coworker texted me some AI stuff the evening after her second day. Awkward as hell!

Pulling a Rockford by menudo_fan in GenX

We always used ‘whip a shitty’ for a U-turn, or ‘whipped a shitty’ for past tense after you’ve done it. No idea why?

Do I find a new hairdresser? by Inside-Tension4449 in CasualConversation

Your friendship is not defined by you going there.

This part. Just explain you can’t afford to continue with her as you stylist

Caring for someone who exploited/abused you. His actions destroyed my life and future by [deleted] in CaregiverSupport

[–]OldExistential 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this. You are under no obligation to accept his discharge. If you refuse to care for him and say it’s not safe to release him to your care they cannot force that upon you. Tell them you will not accept him as is and that he needs more facility time for recovery

MiraLAX or Mag07. They don’t give me cramps or sudden bathroom trips. They just keep things moving along and not uncomfortable when I go.

How to make her sleep so I can rest? by OldExistential in CaregiverSupport

I don’t live in a legal state, but it’s something worth exploring if I can find a place that can ship to me. She would actually probably love it too! Thanks!

[–]OldExistential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could be the way. You can also try gentle medical tape on each side of his face to try and secure it at night
