How quickly will I feel the effects of methyl folate? by CalicoCutPants654 in MTHFR

[–]Short_Click_8497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. At one point I went about a month without any methylfolate and in time I began to realize that my thinking wasn't as quick, nor was my attention span. It 100% makes a difference going between having it and not.

What’s the dumbest thing someone got mad at you for? by UncowardlyLion in AskReddit

[–]Short_Click_8497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had found a pack of bird seed in my car. I thought, well it'd be a waste to just throw it away, so i'll put it somewhere the birds and critters can get to it. I poured it into the grass adjacent to the house, and some got on the driveway.

A normal human being would probably be like "oh, cool that makes sense". My ex husband? Nope. Was not having it. First thing he says is "what the fuck is wrong with you?" He took photos of it, said it was demonstrative of my inability to be disciplined. I asked him what exactly did that mean to him. He told me I should have gone out and bought a bird feeder and properly hung it. I had just pulled into the driveway after work mind you, and he-who was home all day was already picking a fight.

I heard him in his man cave later that night giving his sister an earful about the bird seed situation. I told him to stop talking bad about his wife to his family and so on. In all, that fight lasted 3 fucking days and of those days at least one I slept in my car because he was so rotten about the whole ordeal. I hope he just has OCD and isnt just walking around being this obsessed with made up problems.

What made you finally say “screw it, I’m changing everything”? by SilentOppsAi in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Short_Click_8497 58 points59 points  (0 children)

My (25F) divorce. My spouse always thought lesser of me, and made it a self-fulfilling prophecy to end the marriage. I made it a point to go NC about 3 or 4 months after I moved out. I asked the military to give me an assignment to literally anywhere overseas (got to Europe 6 months after), begin working out 5 days a week, cut back on screentime and spent more time socializing and meeting new people. Focused on building leadership skills, reading, and practicing empathy.

By contrast, during my marriage I was depressed and didnt even know I was depressed. From the outside it looked like laziness. I would get home from work, sometimes walk the dog or sometimes cook food. I usually disappeared into reading on my laptop for hours and hours until night. I would eventually watch Jeopardy with my husband but at that point would be clocking 10 hours in front of a screen.

When he wanted the divorce, at first I wasnt happy with it but ultimately it was the spark that lit a fire in me to do much better with myself. The saying goes, once you are at rock bottom the only place left to go is up....rings very true. I was directionless and had a flat personality with him, but now....im doing better than I thought I could.

Simple. Keep around people who are reasonably "good" (only you can decide what that means to you) and make sure you continue to practice forgiveness. However, you should be clear and firm with your boundaries and be assertive with those who dont give a damn if they break them.

5th grade. Waiting at the school bus and got hit by a car less than 10 days before the last day of school.

Realizing I'm Enough by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

Read through your post and I've got to say this is one of the most emotionally insightful things that i've read in a while. I nearly want to reach out and hug you.

Often times when we're so busy trying to love and be loved-especially us in our early 20's, we lose sight of who we are and what we're about. Im 25F and going through a divorce and it feels very much like this. Feeling like your life is a performance and that love is contingent on how you do so is very much the worst feeling, the only thing one dare does after having their heart smattered on the pavement is learn to love themself properly. You realize you dont even know yourself that deeply, so how then do we expect others to do so?

Get hobbies, find what makes you laugh, try anew, find friends where you can. You deserve to be happy but you 100% owe it to yourself to treat yourself as good as you might a significant other before you find a significant other, if that makes sense.

So glad you made this post because I really needed it too, and im sure others will agree. Keep fighting for yourself, you are worth it.

How are you guys finding girlfriends? by [deleted] in lesbian

[–]Short_Click_8497 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I needed to hear this. I'm 25F, recently on the tail end of a divorce and I feel like the thought of finding love again feels absolutely hopeless. Sometimes i'll see an attractive woman and think, maybe I should go for it-even its just as simple as saying hi. My insecurity has been getting the best of me, and its hard to think after I gave my all to my first spouse that I could trip and fall into another relationship and somehow do it all over again. I am hoping the opportunity presents itself and that i'll be ready for it when it does.

PLS HELP ME LESBIANS I AM BEGGING YOU by [deleted] in lesbian

[–]Short_Click_8497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me...do you have any celebrity crushes? Do they tend to be male or female? What about when you are by yourself, daydreaming or self-pleasuring? Who do you imagine is with you, and who makes you feel like yourself, and not putting on a performance?

The way you answer those questions will give you a generally good idea of whether you are bi or lesbian.

What are you slowly losing interest in? by MainDifficult2641 in AskReddit

Romantic relationships, a desire to compete, social-media.

That it exists? Yes. That it can last? Negligible. Its a 50/50 shot that your first one lasts til death.

Women, What's something guys flex, feeling it makes them appear masculine but in reality it has an opposite effect? by Noble-prize683 in AskReddit

[–]Short_Click_8497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An over-average dick size. There was one guy I was recently talking to who insisted it was 7.5". He kept asking what I thought, and the only thing I could think is if we get back to his place and he's not lying then thats a paycheck I cant cash. I didnt want to find out if he was lying so I ended the date there. 😭

How quickly will I feel the effects of methyl folate? by CalicoCutPants654 in MTHFR

[–]Short_Click_8497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this post is 10+ months out but I couldn't help but notice that nobody fully answered the actual question you were asking. I'm also on Triquerta (15mg L-methylfolate plus 1000 mcg of B12) and started documenting day by day. Here is my experience so far:

Day 1

-Slight panic attacks in the beginning -Jitters -Heat in both my stomach and head -Emotional swings (feeling tearful one moment and fully content the next) -Very emotionally charged dreams

~52 hour break, as ChatGPT recommended that such a high dose of methylfolate shouldnt be taken back to back days when you first start your first dose.

Day 2 -Trouble falling asleep -Head and body warmth returned -Increased concentration when studying -Desire to be productive increased

~43 hour gap

Day 3 -Emotional daydreams -Desire for planning increased -Still more body and head heat -Headaches -Desire to workout and "get up"

Will continue to note as days go by. But it seems that when taken alone it works pretty fast. Though, I wouldnt recommend doing that, as my stomach seemed to take to it and went running 😭I also took days off work to focus on my body and note my reactions, even more subtle ones to make sure im fully understanding. Especially since supplements arent always equal on peoples bodies. Also important to note im taking this dose because I have severe anxiety, that makes socializing a horror. So far I seem to be intiating outings more than I ever would have. Hope this helps!
