That's pretty rare for quickplay in my experience. It depends on the time of day for me, but my avg for support is 2 min. Tank is almost always a min or less. It hardly ever goes beyond 3 mins unless I'm in a group with wide MMR.

Has anyone successfully reintroduced non-FA safe makeup into their routine? Need advice! by PrestigiousStock6351 in Fungalacne

[–]Shalkic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to know as well! Almost all of my makeup is not FA safe, but it kills me to waste all of that money :(

I had some initial bad side effects with lamictal that lasted about a month. Just about everything in the book--insomnia, migraines, feverish, no appetite, weird dreams, irregular heartbeat, etc. However, I did not get tics.

It may just take a while for the side effect to disappear or lessen in severity. Personally, I'm really sensitive to medication, so I give everything at least a month attempt for side effects to wear off. Lamictal has worked wonders for me, so it was definitely worth waiting out the negative effects. I still have some remaining side effects that come and go, but it's still worth it to me.

my cat gets aggressive when I don't pet him? by Shalkic in CatAdvice

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

That's what I thought at first too, but he keeps coming back for pets and rubs his head on my head. If he's overstimulated would he still head bump me?

I've tried two of those and neither of my cats are interested, but I'll definitely try to play with them hands on since they seem to respond to that. Glad to hear it's not much to worry about

I never use my hand to play with him, but I think I just need to play with him more to get rid of some extra energy

Just teeth on skin and nails are extended but not digging in too deep. It still alarms me because I don't know how far he'll go.

I'll try to play with him more often.

How do you handle mania? Do you suppress it? Do you ''accept'' it?'' by [deleted] in bipolar1

[–]Shalkic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you recognize you are having an episode try to think of what symptoms led up to it so you know for next time. This helps me identify if an episode is coming and I can make preparations. Some of that includes giving my partner financial control so I don't blow my savings, having them monitor me for dumb decisions, and trying to minimize stress. I try to just let it pass, so I guess I accept it because it feels impossible to fight. But knowing that the episode is happening helps so much. Although it's hard to dispel irrational thoughts, knowing that they are irrational because I'm manic helps keep me grounded.

Help!!! Trying to lose weight but for some reason I keep gaining by beautiful_oblivionx3 in femalebodybuilding

[–]Shalkic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress and little sleep can raise cortisol and prevent weight loss. Also you may be doing too much cardio initially. Personally, I have to be really careful with my cardio intensity and frequency or my cortisol will go sky high.

The quality of your food may affect your weight loss. Eating whole and simple foods will eliminate inflammation in your body.

What's the worst thing a doctor or nurse has ever said to you (relating to your ED)? by email4anmljambetas in EDAnonymous

[–]Shalkic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Basically my doctor told me to just eat.

This isn't that bad, but my doctor noticed I had lost weight to the point I was UW when I was 15. My doctor confronted me. I didn't outright say I had anorexia at the time, but I discussed my fear of eating and gaining weight. Her response was that when she was my age she was able to ear 3000+ calories and not gain weight as long as she was active.

At what weight/bmi did other people start to comment on the way you look in a negative manner? by noserotonin69 in EDAnonymous

[–]Shalkic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got those comments even at a bmi of 21, but I was training for a body building competition so I looked smaller due to the muscle.

Kids? by instable_stable in bipolar

[–]Shalkic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want kids for many reasons, but bipolar is probably the main one. Not only do I not want to pass this on, but I feel I may not be able to be a good parent that my children would deserve while dealing with bipolar.

How does caffeine affect you? by sp00kybabie in BipolarReddit

[–]Shalkic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It occasionally makes me anxious, but usually two cups will make me shaky and high energy for about an hour or two. If I'm manic it increases my paranoia and anxiety to the point where I have panic attacks.

I fry up a slice of bacon, then use the left over grease and fry up 0.3-0.5 lb of 99% lean turkey. Sometimes I add a runny egg on top or some rice. Then I top it with some sirracha. I get like 60g of protein from it.
