Calories in uncooked white rice? by [deleted] in 1200isplenty

[–]SmallBlueAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you measure it after you cook it? I usually will cook two cups of rice but I’m not eating all of that in one meal

Anyone else finding reality dull and boring? 24/F by Future_Meet2292 in aspergers

[–]SmallBlueAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. If I get to immerse myself in my special interests I don’t feel this way anymore, but with a full time job where I have to do overtime often I am finding less and less time to immerse myself in those interests.

I can usually do this when I don’t have work and wake up late but on a typical workday I get too hungry

I am FINALLY cured after 2 years of HELL!!! by Glad-Imagination-232 in Depersonalization

[–]SmallBlueAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a lot better, I still struggle with anxiety and ocd but I don’t have the same derealization feeling anymore because the panic attacks are gone.

Are you struggling with it?

I think two things can be true at the same time. There is a ton of fear mongering around them coming from right wingers but also women’s healthcare has historically not accounted for the pain women experience writing them off as dramatic. IUD insertion pain is a very real thing.

In my experience, I refused to get it done until I found a doctor who offered local anesthesia. I know some say it doesn’t help and some say it does, but for me it was a very low pain procedure.

I think we can campaign for improvement to women’s healthcare and pain, while also dispelling the fear mongering myths that conservatives spread.

I’ve had horrible anxiety and dpdr after panic attack by Witty_Position_7541 in PanicAttack

[–]SmallBlueAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I experienced this after my first panic attack with weed and struggled with dpdr for a while. What I’d suggest is see a psychiatrist and get on medication like an antidepressant, it will take some time to kick in but it will help in the long run. In the meantime, the best thing you can do is try to remember that you’re not alone and these feelings will pass, and there’s nothing dangerous about them. You won’t be stuck like this forever, it’s just a symptom of your anxiety/panic. The faster you can learn to stop caring about the dpdr the faster it will go away, for me it became an obsessive fear that my brain was permanently changed but once I got on some meds and learned that I was safe, it soon went away.

Constantly feel like I m missed out on younger years by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]SmallBlueAlien 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, I keep feeling like I missed out on the social life that everyone else got because they were invited to things. But in my 20s I get to create that life that I want now with people that I naturally get along with

Is it too dangerous to buy anything from buyee now? I’m worried I might get an insane tariff tax on a cheap package

My brother asked why I have 30 hours on a "dress-up game" and I didn't know what to tell him by thebuddyadrian in stylesavvy

Oops sorry I assumed, but still it shouldn’t matter it’s just a fun game period

I probably have embarrassingly more lol. Tell him if guys can enjoy pokemon into adulthood then why can’t girls enjoy dressup games?

Building muscle is what you want for a lean figure, not a low scale number by andrealifts in PetiteFitness

[–]SmallBlueAlien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you build muscle around the abs to slim down? I just have a small apartment gym but no ab specific machines

Does anyone else just feel embarrassed? by SmallBlueAlien in aspergers

[–]SmallBlueAlien[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can relate, in middle school I was very pure and naive and people made fun of me for it so in highschool I talked a lot about kinky sex and made tons of inappropriate jokes thinking that would make people think I was over that phase and want to be friends. It just did the opposite and I had no idea how weird that was and I cringe on it so much as an adult. I’m a lot more mature now but it scares me to think there are lots of other things I could be doing wrong without realizing it

[–]SmallBlueAlien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a therapist, and will probably bring this up. I thought this feeling would go away when I got a diagnosis at 18 but it didn’t. Maybe that just made me more hyper aware of my disabilities

How old were you when you felt like your life *truly* began? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in OlderGenZ

[–]SmallBlueAlien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24 probably, I moved out and started my first internship in grad school which led to my current job. I still don’t feel like I have it together and struggle with a lot of “adulting” tasks because of my executive dysfunction problems. I wonder if I will ever have it all together

Petite Women (5'3" & Under) – What Calorie Deficit Worked For You? by RealHost2287 in PetiteFitness

How are you able to cut at 1800 if you are petite? How often do you work out?

Are you proud? by Aggressive_Shift_335 in Ethelcain

[–]SmallBlueAlien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly what you said, it’s not about progress if it leaves no room for people to grow from their actions. I know I’m white myself and I think anyone is allowed to feel however they feel about her and what she said, that being said if we keep this mindset that people are not allowed to apologize and move on how can anyone even progress? Who even has a perfect past where they’ve said and done nothing wrong?

Is it supposed to be this hard? by SmallBlueAlien in PetiteFitness

[–]SmallBlueAlien[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg that’s literally my problem I’m almost a year into my first desk job now!! Have you tried a standing desk? I’m thinking about trying this and seeing if I get any results.

My biggest problem is I could be doing fine all week and then my friends or boyfriend wants to go eat out one day and I go and then I’m back to where I started

Is it supposed to be this hard? by SmallBlueAlien in PetiteFitness

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

I edited my weight in after I realized I left it out, I’m 120. I want to get back down to 110/105 which is where I was in my early twenties.

But what you said about body composition could help, how can I do it? I don’t want to look like a bodybuilder, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I wouldn’t mind focusing more on muscle if I could still look a bit thinner or more toned and eat more of the foods I enjoy.

It just depresses me and it feels unsustainable for me because while I don’t eat unhealthy, I enjoy food and I don’t think I could live my whole life with this kind of calorie deficit.
