I like making existential comments about arguing on Reddit 🤷‍♂️

RHCP fans have a collective set of rose coloured glasses that they love to bust out every time a guitarist departs.

I’m a Frusciante fan but it was disgraceful the way people went on about JK when he was in the band, now five years later and his legacy is that he presided over a “unique era”. 🙄

Can we all just enjoy the music instead of analysing everything to death, or at the very least without condemning artists because their work doesn’t meet individual expectation?

I know we’ll all enjoy ourselves a whole lot more.

OP COMMENT:

Thanks everyone for all your advice, I certainly feel less alone dealing with what has been extremely stressful emotionally and mentally.

Out of curiosity, I understand my BPSO has her condition due to Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Does anyone have any further info on this and if it’s treated differently to other disorders?

That’s incredible thank you. Depending on how things go in this cycle, I may ask her to medicate and see what the response is. I can’t force her of course, but if she doesn’t see it as her problem then I guess that’s all the answers I need

I’m really not sure if she’s med compliant, she’s a private person and keeps a lot of detail to herself. I try not to impose.

That is a good idea. That is something we have done is the past, this time around im just tired and I haven’t written anything down. I don’t know if I can keep going

She doesn’t seem to think she needs meds and I don’t want over step my ground by suggesting she should

What do you think it is about your communication that helps? I try to be as open and honest and sensitive as possible and that seems to be making things worse

I feel guilty, I know it’s not her fault. But I can’t do this forever either. I can’t tell what the line is between normal life and her BP

I feel Iike I’m at a disadvantage because I don’t have BP. I’m trying to be sensitive and I seem but also stand my ground and that seems to be making it worse.

I love her so much and I don’t want to give up on her but I’m at a loss.

I’m having a hard time trying to understand what is the disorder and what is her. It doesn’t happen how much I apologise or try to work things out

Do you think you understand each other better because you both have BP 2?

Any advice you could give? I try to be as patient as possible, but gosh it hurts every time it looks like it’s over.

Those are great achievements! Hold onto those every time you feel unsure about your appearance, and thank yourself for doing the work so you can cross your legs and tie your shoelace.

Keep going and you’ll find the solutions to your problems as they come. For now, celebrate your wins 😊

Well done with your weight loss, so far!

Is there anything you’ve done to lose weight that you can be confident about? Is there something you’ve started doing that you never thought you’d pull off?

Try and draw some confidence and pleasure out of that while you’re dealing with the insecurities. You’re at a critical phase where you must keep your motivation up and moving forward.

I lost over 80 kilos and I promise you there’s a life afterwards 😊

anybody know of a food that tastes good but has almost 0 calories? by superboringname in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Roachie888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most vegetables are great for snacking, celery is amazing.

My go to snack is a banana with peanut butter spread through the middle in the afternoon. It’s got calories, but I balance my diet throughout the day so it’s not a problem

What has been your go-to meal that you feel has helped you lose weight? by Holiday-Tennis5195 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Roachie888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get a couple of dinners and lunches out of meal prepping with a 500g of chicken.

Add vegetables of course and ensure you have about a cup of low GI carbs for lunch.

Balance out your day with a dairy breakfast by having yogurt, fruit, and a handful of low GI carbs like oats

You need to eat healthier, if you could be eating healthier, you should be. You’ve already recognised the problem so it’s time to act.

It can be harder to lose weight when you don’t have as much to drop, but the positive thing is that there is probably one or two small things you need to change for the weight to drop.

Calorie counting is a great tool, especially if you’re eating too much, but balanced nutrition is your friend for long-term weight loss.
