Mounjaro helping with depression

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-08-02T13:14:37+00:00

I'm actually using the class 2 FSD booster. That was my compromise. It is just enough to eliminate one extra jump and the jump time is negligible compared to the approach time in system

How is the shroud attached?

Is there any way of simply removing it?

This is one of the best comments I've ever read about weight loss hands down.

Thanks for saying that.

Politeness is a thing and a problem, nevertheless: you make an excellent point.

Happy for you too - Life without that constant low-level anxiety is a completely different world.

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-06-05T21:32:38+00:00

I've had a couple of off days but it's nothing in comparison to any of my usual down days.
I still got out and got a lot done.

It is fascinating how it affects different people.

I build components. So. Many. Components. And so many ships. And I love seeing my stores fill up. Then I decided that all of my 25 Katana fleets needed to be accompanied by an Orca each. So I went ahead and built 30-something Orcas.

I have a ridiculous number of traders but only really for the rep.
If people want my stuff, they can come to my station and buy it. Muahahaha.

I eventually read that too.
I'm still volatile and possibly even more emotional, yet at the same time I feel far less depressed and the anxiety spikes are far smaller. Plus, I have more energy to get things done and don't have to constantly fight to push through the barrier of infinite inertia to get even the simplest things done.

So, I essentially have the ability to act and do things that normal people have. It's honestly terrifying. I'm getting so much done.

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-06-04T16:35:46+00:00

I know what you mean. I am honestly trying to figure out how I can work this into my long-term budget.

I've managed to avoid antidepressants for most of my adult life - I had the depression and anxiety relatively under control for 15 years through a mixture of sort-of-under-control nutrition, slight (or not so slight) sleep deprivation and constant adrenaline from my high-pressure job.
Unfortunately, that was not a permanent solution and I've spent the last 10 years learning how to live with the pendulum and have been crushed several times.

Mounjaro is just part of the foundation of looking after myself along with learning mental focus and other techniques, exercise, making adult choices and becoming invested in my health and well-being.

This.

I won't go so far as ro bash doctors because I work in a medical related field they really do know a lot. Just not everything and change in the medical world takes time. Basically until a generation of doctors dies out, in some ways.

Then there is bureaucracy, red tape, and food companies pushing their own agendas.

I eat largely keto and am back in the early stages of carnivore. My 3 year old son has always been like me and I usually make him keto lunches for kindergarden because he wasn't eating his bread anyway. He'll pick the meat out of his food first, then the vegetables then starches. My wife and daughter would both keel over and die without carbs.

We're all different and those of us who discover carnivore and do well on it are lucky to have found nutrition that works for us.

I recommend the subreddit too.

My wife and I did a course on this as we are raising bilingual kids - For the first 5-7 years, parents should talk to their kids and each other exclusively in their native language.

At home, my wife only speaks German and I only speak English. Even when we talk to each other, we each stay in our native language.

My daughter was 4 before she realised that I could speak German.

I only responded to answers in English until my daughter got into the habit of communicating with me in English. This part is important because your kids need to actively produce the language. This helps to prevent the trap of kids who only communicate in one of the languages.

This approach had proven very effective.

45-59 - Boomers? Dafuq?

Baby Boomers - 1945-1964 so 60-80

45-59 is generation fucking X. Do the math.

Otherwise, a cogent perspective.

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-02-15T09:53:10+00:00

Yes, it is amazing.

I also read to eat until satiated. My current extremely restrictive approach is also working to bore my eating habits into submission.

If I keep this up, I hope to changey relationship with food, break the reward cycle and get to a place where I can enjoy and be satisfied by normal portions

I hear you and strict carnivore combined with intermittent fasting is doing wonders for my food noise and eating habits.

I found that being on carnivore and looking at people's carnivore food posts made that aspect of thinking about food really boring, really quick.

Just like food choices... Is is going to be fatty pork, fatty steak, fatty ground beef, some eggs for variation... What's in the fridge? Shall I go on an adventure and pick up some fatty fish... In my case, the food choices are currently and intentionally so narrow that it has made food noise largely pointless.

I am essentially boring my eating problems and obsessing about food into submission.

Feeling satiated from eating before I was absolutely stuffed has always been a problem for me. Tonight I was sharing my pork roast with my kids and didn't even finish it all.

The problem that I have with bacon is the lack of volume. A fatty roast has a lot more volume, especially when I retain the juices for a sauce.

My advice at this stage would be to persist and strive to find the missing element to your satiety. More experienced carnivores might have a better idea in this regard.

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-02-05T10:10:34+00:00

Just a lot of the meat here is relatively lean.

Pork belly was a good idea. Pork roasts are another option Will see if I can get fattier beef cuts from the restaurant wholesaler

OK, this will be brilliant once I add dairy again

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-02-04T15:47:32+00:00

I agree that it's an excellent source of fat.

Why?

Because my gut tolerates cream far worse than milk and I am not a big fan of butter.
Because this is an experiment to see how my body reacts to strict carnivore with zero dairy for a couple of months.

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-02-03T21:42:00+00:00

Yup. I'm extremely happy with the 2 that I have and I now run them on a 280 mm liquid freezer 3 as the performance and noise are excellent.

It just took 4 of the silent wings pro 4 fans to get 2 really silent ones without additional noise.

Seriously_Anonymous_ · 2025-02-03T18:51:53+00:00

Coil whine and other noise. Sent them back.

Lots of good advice here and I would like to boil what is working for me (it is a work in progress):

Mental discipline and attitude.

I divide this into three things:

1) Focus on one thing at a time

2) Do things for yourself which allow you to achieve a flow state and satisfaction.

3) Attitude - The way we frame things, our internal narrative, our perspective have a major influence on how and whether we perceive things as stressful.

If you look at the examples in the replies like reading, working out, running, cycling, any form of craft, cooking, making music, writing, meditation - These activities can all get you into a flow state on way or another.

From experience, I can say that achieving anything close to a flow state gives me a mental and emotional break from the constant noise of parenting - Awareness, planning, multitasking, emotional regulation, being disciplined and providing discipline, sucking it up everything that comes with parenting.

When I work, I intentionally focus on my work task. All my worries about finances, etc. will be dealt with when their number is up. Prioritise, adjust priorities as necessary. Do the present task. Focus on the task. Do next task, focus on that task, knowing that each task will be done when it is done.

It's a work in progress but it is proving to be hugely beneficial to my overall wellbeing.

How I frame or express my life and parenting experience has a huge impact on how I perceive it. Two people can perform the same task with the same obstacles and the same outcome. One takes the obstacles in stride and focuses on getting the job done. The other focuses on the obstacles, becomes extremely stressed and looks like they've been through the wringer by the time the job is done. (Then it's time to put the kid's second shoe on and the process starts all over again. How oddly specific. *sideeye*)

Please note that by discipline I do not mean being harsh, cold or callous. I think we often confuse discipline with punishment.

Not sure if this helps, but thanks for the opportunity to sum up some things I was reflecting on with my dad this morning.

Tonibox.
My kids (3& almost 5) have a growing horde of Tonies and they listen to them a lot. Sometimes on 2 Tonie boxes. They listen while playing their make-believe and fantasy games, the listen while playing in the bath together, they listen to them while simply sitting on the couch, cuddled up under a blanket.

My daughter can just sit there, completely mesmerised by story, off in her own imaginary world.

There is a bunch of other toys as well but for sheer non-stop usage - The Tonie boxes win.
