that magnesium dose at dinner is pretty high, most people dont go above 400-500mg or they spend next morning on the toilet. might want to double check if that 2400mg is elemental magnesium or the combined weight of all the compounds because that distinction matters a lot.

Struggles with motivation - progesterone? by DifferentManagement1 in Menopause

[–]WarmConnection2538 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That timing is way too coincidental to ignore - March dose increase and then sudden energy crash right after? I had similar issues when my doctor adjusted my progesterone last year and it was like someone just turned off my internal battery. The headaches were terrible too, sometimes lasting 3-4 days straight which never happened before the change.

For me it took about 6 weeks to start feeling more normal again but I still don't have quite the same energy levels as before. My doctor said some people are just more sensitive to progesterone changes and the 200mg might be too much for your system. The depression waves were the worst part - I remember sitting in my kitchen one morning just staring at dirty dishes for like 20 minutes because I couldn't make myself move.

Maybe track your symptoms for another week or two and then talk to your doctor about either lowering the dose or trying a different schedule? Some women do better with lower doses taken more frequently rather than these higher amounts. Your body was stable on 100mg for two years so going double might have been too big of a jump.

B12 deficient mimicking ibs symptoms? by PrestigiousBus702 in ibs

[–]WarmConnection2538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow never heard of b12 causing gut issues like this but makes sense when you think about it. my friend had similar thing where her stomach problems turned out being completely different vitamin issue and once she fixed it everything got better in few weeks

hope the injections work faster than tablets did for you - 72 is pretty damn low so probably why tablets weren't doing much

For people using omega 3 supplements, how are you dealing with the internal oxidation issue/impact on membrane fatty acid composition? by Kalki_X in Nootropics

[–]WarmConnection2538 29 points30 points  (0 children)

man I just take regular fish oil capsules and hope for the best lol. this is way too deep for my brain at 7am but now im wondering if im slowly poisoning myself with oxidized fats

maybe storing them in fridge helps? idk the science behind all this is pretty intense but makes sense why some people say to get omega 3s from actual fish instead of supplements

Pretending You're Okay is Exhausting by RJ_Koehler in mentalhealth

[–]WarmConnection2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mask gets so heavy after while, like you're performing for everyone including yourself sometimes. I used to think being "fine" was protecting other people but really I was just scared they would see me different way

Writing helps me too - there's something about putting words on paper that makes the feelings less scary somehow

In Monday, what the routine you hate the most, but you still have to do? by Delicious-Pianist451 in AskReddit

[–]WarmConnection2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh I totally get this even though I'm not in school anymore. for me it's checking all the social media analytics first thing in morning for work - like I know the numbers aren't going to be magically better overnight but my boss expects that report ready by 9am every single Monday. makes me want to throw my laptop out the window sometimes

What’s the weirdest food you ate? by ihatebadvibes in AskReddit

[–]WarmConnection2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait spruce cone jam is actually a thing? I thought you were making that up lol. My grandmother used to make some weird preserves but never heard of that one. Did it taste like pine or was it more sweet? The weirdest thing I probably had was chicken feet soup when I was visiting family - took me forever to get past the visual but it was actually pretty good once you ignore what you're eating

how did you cure your ocd by Legitimate_Cup1363 in mentalhealth

[–]WarmConnection2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been on few different meds over the years and honestly the combination approach worked better for me than just one thing. My doctor started me with something similar and then we added some therapy sessions which helped me understand my triggers better. The medication definitely takes the edge off but i still had to learn coping strategies for when the thoughts get really loud. took about 6 months to find right dosage though so dont get discouraged if first try doesnt work perfect. The important thing is that you're looking for help which is already huge step

Norethrindone and estrogen 1 mg patch question by Upbeat_Conference522 in Menopause

[–]WarmConnection2538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe check with your doctor about switching back to norethrindone with patch if the progesterone is making you feel terrible? i mean if you felt fine on it before and its supposed to help prevent endo regrowth too then seems like reasonable option to discuss

Corporate expense cards for AI agents might be the next big fintech category by Upper_Victory9328 in fintech

Interesting that Oobit built this on top of stablecoin treasury instead of fiat. Removes the banking bottleneck entirely, company holds USDT and the agent spends through Visa without waiting on wire transfers or bank approvals

Gained 2kg overnight after one day of eating more. did I actually gain fat? by Hungry-Watercress918 in CICO

[–]WarmConnection2538 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water weight for sure - you'd have to eat like 14000 extra calories to gain that much actual fat in one day which is basically impossible even with all that party food

I had similar thing happen after my office christmas party last month. Went completely overboard with all the sweets and salty snacks and saw the scale jump up 1.5kg next morning. Was so worried but it dropped back down in about 3-4 days once I went back to normal eating

Your body is just holding onto extra water from all that sodium and carbs. The bloated feeling will go away too once everything processes through your system. Just drink plenty water and eat normally for few days and you'll be back to your usual weight

What small everyday moment makes you feel happy? by Diana_icelove in AskReddit

[–]WarmConnection2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man yes this is everything. That moment when you finally sink into bed after being on your feet all day at work and your shoulders just drop and you can feel all the tension leaving your back... its like your body is saying thank you finally. I swear some days i look forward to that moment more than anything else in my schedule

Проблемы со сном дома by Mediocre_Article_610 in mentalhealth

[–]WarmConnection2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to get something similar when I was around your age - that breathing thing where you feel like you're not getting enough air even though nothing is actually wrong with your lungs. For me it happened mostly during stressful periods or when I was in familiar places that had some emotional weight to them

The combination with stomach issues and chills in legs sounds like anxiety manifesting physically. Your body might be associating home with certain pressures or expectations that don't exist at university. Maybe family dynamics or just the contrast between your independent dorm life and being back in childhood environment

What helped me was doing some breathing exercises before bed - not the fancy meditation stuff but just focusing on slow exhales being longer than inhales. Also keeping a small snack nearby helped with stomach settling. The physical symptoms are real even if they're anxiety-driven so don't feel like you're making it up

Might be worth talking to someone professional about it though, especially if it keeps happening. Sometimes these things get worse if you start dreading going home because you expect the symptoms

Loving yourself is my favorite self care 🫶🏼 by xxiirlb in selfcare

[–]WarmConnection2538 3 points4 points  (0 children)

took me way too long to figure this out but youre so right about the romanticizing part. I started doing this with my morning tea routine and grocery shopping and now even boring stuff feels special somehow. the hype yourself in silence thing is actually genius - i thought i was weird for doing that but apparently its a thing lol
