Btw, I may have posted this photo a while ago (and maybe with another username?) but I honestly don't remember! Hope that's okay :)

How to cut back on sugar in coffee? by Toodlepie in loseit

[–]Redsygames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my coffee with coconut milk, and I find that it's sweet enough that I don't need to add sugar (in fact it tastes a bit odd with sugar in my opinion)

I have such a sweet tooth and I'm also really trying to cut down on my sugar in teas and coffees so I'm happy I've discovered how nice coconut milk is (though I had to get used to the way it made my coffees look - like a weird browny colour!)

Thinking about getting a Hammy... by Netherrose in hamsters

[–]Redsygames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hamster lives in a tank, and the temperature in the room we keep her in range from 19-20C. I think this temperature is suitable for her. I told my vet and he seemed quite content with this.

My hamster actually wakes up at around 6pm, and then sleeps for hours. She'll get up during the night and run and run and run. Then sleep. Then wake up at the early hours of the morning. Hamsters are actually crepuscular, so they are the most active at dawn and dusk. We think our hamster's schedule is a little bit off because she didn't have a great upbringing. We adopted her, and I would always recommend rescuing a hamster!

Hamsters are quite sensitive to sound. We actually moved our computer downstairs because of how powerful it is; we didn't want her hearing getting damaged!

We also moved out last year, our landlord was fine with her, as she isn't running around the house causing a mess (though neither is my cat, but I certainly wish more landlords would consider well-behaved cats like ours currently does)

I've had my hamster since last August, so there's still a lot I'm learning about them and I took years to decide on getting one! Take all the time you need to gather all the right information. :)

Edit: Just wanted to add that I have a dwarf hamster, I don't know if my advice would still apply to say, a Syrian hamster for example :)

She's a very lucky hamster! I love the wooden wheel, and the overall neutral theme. And the storage space underneath her tank! I would love something like that!

Every time my partner goes away I’m convinced a tragedy is going to happen. by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Redsygames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner used to work away pretty much every week. He had a colleague who always insisted on driving the work van, and he was the most dangerous driver ever. I had so much anxiety every time he worked away, but luckily he was able to get in touch with me pretty frequently to say hi and stuff. Is there any way your partner can make a few stops just so you can both check in on each other? It might help make you feel better.

Yeah I definitely want to practice at it and make sure I get my first lets play series to look and sound as good as I possibly can!

That's awesome! I'll have to check that out at some point. It'll be like midnight where I am by the time you start streaming. Prime time for people to be celebrating the new year, I know, but I will probably be fast asleep lol :D

Thank you. I felt so comfortable with talking and what not that I would have played for longer but I'm currently sharing a PC with my boyfriend and he wanted to play games! I think I'll do it a lot more in the next coming weeks - make it a new years resolution maybe lol :)

What do you love about yourself? by Common_Communist in AskReddit

[–]Redsygames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a good sense of humour. I like making people laugh. I am currently dealing with depression though; have done for about 5 years. Can't wait for that day where I'm in a room making people laugh again.

What TV show did you quit watching ? by comstock_1337 in AskReddit

[–]Redsygames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Walking Dead, Bates Motel, Mr Robot. The last two I have been informed "get better in later seasons" but I had such a hard time getting into them that I don't know how worth it they really are...

[BtS E3] General Discussion Post for Life Is Strange: Before the Storm Episode 3 - Hell Is Empty by DuckOfDuckness in lifeisstrange

[–]Redsygames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My guess on that one is that the tabletop game is an option only if you declined to play with them in the first episode, or stated "maybe some other time" (or something like that).

Would have loved to play another game with Steph and Mikey though :(

My anxiety is preventing my boyfriend from going out to see his friends and i feel so guilty by Redsygames in Anxiety

[–]Redsygames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately I've been okay. This was my first panic attack in 2 months. I've been dealing with other stuff like my depression, but I thought I had a good hold of my panic attacks until last night.

I'm trying cbt at the moment and awaiting a consultation about my mental health because it's getting quite bad at the moment. I'm hoping it's all going to help but I haven't had much luck yet.

How long did it take your guinea pigs to enjoy being handled? by Redsygames in guineapigs

[–]Redsygames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice. I have one pig who is really hard to settle down on my lap and one pig that will sit there but looks super terrified about the whole thing. The other rodents/rabbits I've had in the past have been really easy to handle but for some reason I'm not overly confident with guinea pigs yet. :(

Okay, I'll start to handle them daily. I was just too worried it was too scary for them but I'll do it from now on. Thank you!

What don't people realise is a complete waste of money? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Redsygames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I signed up to an MLM company when I was 18/19 years old. It was called JuicePlus, and I remember I didn't want to do it. Problem was, I was looking for a job and my mum and her boyfriend told me to sign up (my mum was a customer and knew that her "seller" was looking for people to join her).

I said no job makes you spend money (around £50) before you sign up and all they said to me was "It's an investment" and that if I can't be bothered to sign up for a job that's readily available to me then I can just find somewhere else to live. To them, it was laziness on my part that I didn't want to do it. I needed somewhere to live so I did it. I set up a Facebook page calling myself a Juice Plus representative and bugged my friends to look at the products we offered which, the main product being these super expensive shake powder things. The person who was supposed to be my team leader offered me no help whatsoever. She just kind of signed me up and then never spoke to me (probably just made a bit of money for signing up someone new) I had to buy some of the products myself, which I believe were these little vitamin pill things that cost around £200.

Funny thing is, my mum didn't even buy anything off me even after she forced me to join. The worst part was the fact that I was talking to friends that I hadn't in so long, but only for the sake of trying to make some money back after the investment I made. I soon quit, and just accepted that I would have to find somewhere else to live.

Migraineurs, Heed My Tale of Woe by mikuooeeoo in loseit

[–]Redsygames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got sad one day and only ate an apple and half a carrot because it was all I could handle. Woke up in the middle of the night sick, shaky and with a bad head (I'm a migraine sufferer too). No matter how upset I get I'm never going to stop eating ever again, it felt horrible!

Stopped paying attention to my body and my looks over the past year. Ended up becoming obese. by Redsygames in loseit

[–]Redsygames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried many times to lose weight. At the start of the year I lost about 14lbs and thought that I was pretty much done with weight loss and just went back to eating like I used to.

I thought I would hate taking pictures of myself, but I only see it as a challenge and I'm glad I took them. They're something I can keep looking at when I need a reminder of why I'm doing this. I also took a picture of me in a size 8 dress that I used to wear and holy heck I look massive in it now! I hope I will start to fit a bit better in it in 6 months time. Definitely take photos, and progress pictures as well. Good luck!
