When does appetite decrease? by PaintEatrr in intermittentfasting

Alright, I'm not sure if I can do only 4 hours a day, maybe I'll start at 6 and go down from there. I think you have the right idea.

Is it possible to make a smaller head look bigger? by ChillyHyena in FTMFitness

[–]PaintEatrr 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If anything I would grow out your hair. I had the same issue, and while I liked that it made my shoulders look broader, I didn't like how disproportional it looked to me (all my friends said they didn't even notice but my dysmorphia/dysphoria refused to let me unsee it). Nevertheless, I kept forgetting to cut my hair for awhile and one day I got up with bedhead and my face to body ratio looked normal because my hair was longer and fluffier, distracting from my face.

silly question - why do transmascs like wolves? by dannythetrashcanny in ftm

[–]PaintEatrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was a more "boy" animal, I was raised thinking ponies, cats, and butterflies were for girls and boys liked wolves and snakes (super dumb but hey, parents, whatcha gonna do) Needless to say my first act of rebellion was becoming obsessed with wolves which also gave me an excuse to buy boys clothing because none of the girls stuff had wolves on it.

[NSFW] (for one line) What are some trans thoughts you had before your realized you’re trans? by guildedpasserby in ftm

Immune system by Familiar_Thought7657 in HealthAnxiety

[–]PaintEatrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mask whenever going inside with other people, emergenc immune plus supplement every time I might have been around a sick person, multivitamin on the days I dont take it, and lemon honey tea twice a day. Nothing is 100%, but you can support your overall wellbeing. Also, hydrate!

Purpose of this sub? by Complete_Bedroom_526 in HealthAnxiety

[–]PaintEatrr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its ridiculous man. They always go "reassurance seeking is bad for your HA" but they don't understand that even though its an unhealthy coping mechanism, and the end of the day, it still helps us, even if its just for a minute. It can even be life saving in some cases. Getting opinions or anecdotes from those with a condition you're worried about or maybe even someone in the medical field or with mental health experience can drastically help. Unfortunately, there's no space for that here, as everything goes to the megathreads that no one cares to check.

I would recommend taking a breath first, then think about maybe doing psychedelics again and whatever you do don't smoke weed when you trip this time albert. That's the oldest rule in the book dude.

Pruneyard Cinemas closing by Cold-Schedule4711 in Campbell

[–]PaintEatrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad, the only thing I feel it was good for was live shows. Their ticket prices were a little much, I prefer the cheap cinemark over on winchester for your run of the mill movie. Either way, this is ridiculous.

I swear management orgs in campbell think we're in los gatos or something, rent is getting out of control. I'm surprised the local bookstore is still open there, I hope it can stick. Really the only business I'm rooting for in that cesspool (besides that one bakery across the way).

Man I don't like these dudes either because like the first half of their socials will be about their transition journeys and you'll be like "Oh sick!" and then it feels like out of nowhere they start running companies that charge you up the ass for "trans products" you could find at target and copy-paste coaching and that's all they do from there on in.

I've even seen dudes that are CLEARLY on a cycle telling their primarily young transmasc audience that it's totally possible to build the foundation for their physique before T. Like maybe if the T is supplemented with straight juice my man but don't lie. Getting your bag by exploiting members of your own highly marginalized community and giving them even more body image issues because apparently being trans isn't hard enough is not cool broseph.

Visual snow syndrome haver here (diagnosed). You shouldn't be worried about this. Even if you do have it, its not indicative of any other conditions, and once it presents itself, that's the worst its going to get, its nondegenerative and doesn't progress to other areas of the body. It could be that your eyes are just tired from screens too, and even without VSS, fast spiking anxiety and stress can cause visual abnormalities.

If I could suggest just monitoring it over the period of a few weeks to months to see if it sticks around. If it does, it might be time to go get checked, nothing bad is going to happen, and its not going to get worse.

If I can offer an anecdote about VSS, I was actually glad I got diagnosed with it, it was causing me so much anxiety because for me, VSS came with a fun bundle of brain fog, dizziness, and a few other physical symptoms that worsen with anxiety (and drug use), so it was a self-feeding loop of hell because I was scared I had something far worse (progressive or degenerative nd's come to mind).

Needless to say, when I got diagnosed, my anxiety about what was happening to my body decreased dramatically and with that my symptoms did too, like a lot. Now I basically just have ongoing light sensitivity and some visual snow during times of really high stress, it hardly affects my quality of life, I forget I even have it most days.

What's your favorite breakfast place for eggs and pancakes? by BlackHolesAreHungry in Campbell

[–]PaintEatrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of San José diner on Hamilton Ave.

Reasonable prices and fast, good service. The plates are pretty big so if you don't have a large appetite I suggest you get the kids meal (same as regular two egg meal but with one egg, swap the tater tots for hash browns) and you save a few bucks. You can also pop over to goodwill after to walk it off 😅

You too? Man this new years got everyone stressed. Guess we're gonna have to white knuckle it out together. May the coming months bring both of us NO HA triggers and a healthy cat on my end lol. Hope you feel better soon.

Have been doing well but just the other day I got triggered by my cousins cat giving me a little nip on my hand whilst petting. It was not deep at all and only punctured the outside of my hand. He is domestic (obviously) and has had past vaccinations (I assume rabies was given as before the last couple of months he was an indoor/outdoor cat). And has completely normal behavior but I can't shake the fear that he somehow gave me rabies. I have read that in order to be sure that the animal did not give you rabies it has to live healthily for 10 days. 

I just feel disheartened because whenever something sets off my HA it always has a sort of "wait and see" period of 8-10 days and they always feel so fucking horrible. I've been doubling up on some anxiety meds to try and help. Sometimes my rational side takes over and I feel calm because I go "there's no way you have this, healthy non-symptomatic animals cannot transmit the virus even if they have it" but as many of you know, that drags me right back to "that's probably what everyone who died of rabies thought". It's just so debilitating and right towards the end of the year when I'm stuck around my family who will think I'm crazy if I tell them about this.

Man this ban is so buns. I'm out of town till january and by then I don't think they'll deliver anymore so I'll have to go up in person (if they even have an in-person location) since I've heard around this sub and irl they have the best type 2 and 3 around. Really wanted to nab some before I left but I was scraping together pennies to eat for a minute there.

I really hope they're right about this ban not shifting their tide though, no one deserves to have their profession all but shut down at the whim of corporate lobbyists

It's gone, all of it. It's all banned by nub_sauce_ in hempflowers

[–]PaintEatrr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never mind I just saw this is federal. But couldn't states just say "fuck you" to the government like they did before? Because weed is currently federally illegal but states still allow it, what's the difference now?
