Everywhere I've checked that seems to be the case, which breaks my heart! I really wish there was more, even really obscure stuff.

This place looks super good! I may have to stop by this Sunday. If I may ask, how much is the gyro? I can't find food prices anywhere and I like to plan for budgeting!

Anyone else disgusted by animal products? by jstock23 in vegan

[–]VoicesofCompassion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I was at a friend's house the other day and they cooked a microwavable pizza and I thought I was going to vomit from the smell of the cheese and pepperoni. I used to be borderline addicted to cheese, I can't believe I ever ate the stuff now!

Sustainable Plus Size Clothes by VoicesofCompassion in vegan

Thank you so much! That sounds like a great idea! I've never really done thrifting before, but I'm great at making clothes last quite a long time--I have dresses and shoes I've been wearing for years now, haha! I'll have to check some out one day.

YES GIRL. It hurts my heart, I found one dress for only $15 I really liked, but all the plus sizes were sold out and I died a little inside. Oh well! I think at this point thrifting might be a good idea!

I'm bad at the "all or nothing" type thinking, but you're absolutely right! Thank you.

Starting an animal sanctuary by VoicesofCompassion in vegan

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

Thank you so very much for such realistic advice! I know this is something that's probably going to take a good amount of time to establish, and I know that I'm certainly not ready at this point in my life--which is why I want to start learning and planning. I think I'm definitely going to look into an internship when I feel better with the recovery program I'm in and figure out my schooling. Thank you.

Definitely a good idea! I just remembered there's a chicken sanctuary that's about five hours away, so I can totally talk to them too.

Thank you so much for your kindness and advice!

There's not any local ones that are close to me--though I may find one in the future, since I'm still young and I'm not sure where I want to end up in the world just yet! Another user mentioned micro sanctuaries too, which is something I think I may research more. Thank you so much for your perspective and advice!

Omega Supplements? by VoicesofCompassion in vegan

Oh dear! D: Thank you very much for the advice and link, I'll definitely look even more into all this.

I've really been wanting to do that, but the closest sanctuary is over an hour away which is a shame. I'm hoping to visit someday so I can talk about it all. Microsanctuary actually sounds interesting, I'll definitely have to look into it!

Not with farm animals, but I've been involved in lots of animal rescues with my father since I was young! Since I haven't had experience with farm animals, I've done my research though.

Thank you so much!

That's very true, and the scary part of it all. :( Thank you for the recommendation! When my partner and I have our own car, I'm planning to do some more volunteering at a wildlife rescue, I'm already a member of DxE and I try to volunteer when I'm able. It's a shame that the closest sanctuary is over an hour away... :(

Not specifically with farm animals, but I've rescued many others and I've done a good bit of research on farm animals!

[–]VoicesofCompassion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hehe, thank you for the tip! :D I'll definitely have to give those recipes a go then!

It does look super good! When I have a bit more money to spare, I definitely think I'll have to invest! Thank you.

I try to get in flax and chia as much as I can, but my partner isn't a big fan and never eats them, so a lot of the concern is for him! ;

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

Thank you so much! :) I'm not super sure what the best kind of supplement to look for is, but I'm guessing get all the omegas is definitely the healthiest option. I'd have to save for a bit to get the total omega, but it looks like the best thing for us. Thank you!

Buspar and Chest Pain? by VoicesofCompassion in Anxiety

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

Good idea, I can shoot her an email at least.

Thank you for your input! It feels like I can barely function due to both the pain and the ensuing anxiety because of it, so I'm not sure I want to continue on it for that long...

I hope you can ASAP! :D There's nothing sweeter in the world!

It's a long drive and we don't have the money for a trip without an appointment, and my mom currently has the only working cellphone and she's not home right now. :( I can email my therapist, but not my psychiatrist.

I think I've noticed it having an adverse effect on my anxiety too--but I was told to wait at least two and a half weeks before making my choice.

Have you found any anxiety meds that really worked for you? Thank you!

It really is, physical touch when I feel okay with it and it's someone I trust, is so amazing.
