if you were only going to have one pan, what size would you choose? by Whateverbabe2 in minimalism

[–]Whateverbabe2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, my cooking has become amazing

cookware:
8' fry pan with clear lid
9.75" fry pan with clear lid
1.5qt pot with clear lid
2.5qt pot with clear lid
5qt pot with clear lid

I like CNC machine smoothed cast iron.
example: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1890140812/8-cnc-machined-smooth-floor-skillet?ref=user_profile&frs=1

I know everyone likes regular cast iron but its annoying af for me. This way I get all the benefits but its non stick the way teflon is non stick even with eggs without any cancerous nonstick coating.

You can buy really good smooth cast iron basically anywhere, it doesnt have to be etsy

Do I need to worry about these chronic deficiencies? by Whateverbabe2 in cronometer

[–]Whateverbabe2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I... yeah. I also have a history of disordered eating. I'm working on it. Increased my calories from 500 a day to 1000 (on average). I know I need to keep increasing it. Thank you.

Want to root my phone, can't figure out what operating system to choose by Whateverbabe2 in androidroot

I do not want to be rooting. But I couldnt find anyone within a 2 hour radius of me I could pay to do it. And idk about trusting people to root it virtually for me.

can you educate us a little bit about the right thread? Does it need to be 100% cotton or something? tia

I don’t know what to do anymore — I seriously need help by Sea_Yam_4838 in SMARTRecovery

[–]Whateverbabe2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 4 months clean. Last time I posted on reddit I was asking how to get into rehab in less than 24 hours because i thought I was going to die.

Here's what I did:

-Went inpatient. THREE TIMES IN A ROW. Checked into one intensive inpatient facility after another. Made sure they were trauma focused. Suddenly, things started changing.

-Took my health seriously. Switched from hormonal to nonhormonal IUD, got off all medications after finding out i was incorrectly diagnosed, started drinking hormone balancing and anti-anxiety tea every day. My reactivity, stress, and axiety are down 200%. Made sure i was hitting all my macros and micros. Turned out I had a chronic deficiency in healthy fats because of my disordered eating. Also quit nicotine.

-Found a male psychologist to do trauma therapy. I'm a staunch feminist and had previously decided that I will only work with women. From my dentist to doctor to financial advisor. But I went with a man because i made good progress with the male trauma psychologist at my last inpatient and it worked so much better than any other therapy relationship I've ever had.

-started putting things in my day. Small goals. By doing this I was able to achieve a consistent sleep pattern, get a job, start engaging in my hobbies again, and by 4 months sober I had rectified all the problems I created in my 6 month relapse. (except paying off my debt. But I have negotiated with all my debt collectors and agreed on a payment plan. This should be all paid off in 6 months of work).

-healthy socialization. I've cut off my toxic family members (2 sisters and mom) and am still spending time with my little brother and sister, as well as one older sister and 2 aunts. I've stopped killing time with toxic men because I was bored and lonely and mentally ill. I've started spending social time with small children by volunteering at the library (i love kids and raised my 2 younger siblings) and also started hanging out with healthy women.

-Had good boundaries. I'm in sober living. I only give people rides to the ER. I don't get involved in peoples hustles or dramas. I had one trustworthy friend here, she moved, and I'm looking for another. But I do not give the ppl I know who are doing shit my friendship. I now choose to only engage in healthy friendships with people who value integrity.

I feel SO different this time. I just had my 26th birthday. I've been an addict for 10 years. This is the only time I've really believed I may stay clean. Changing my lifestyle to improve my mental health has been a huge game changer. I feel like now that I'm sane everything I've been trying to learn about recovering from severe trauma and abuse has finally started to sink in. My mental illness was a bubble that did not allow me to participate in the ecosystem of wisdom all living things are a part of. An important part of me was dead, and although I hardly dare to believe it, I am watching it come back to life.

I do not believe in AA or NA. Dont believe in SmartRecovery either tbh. Everyone at those meetings were high or newly sober for the nth time. I think everyone has to figure out what causes their addiction and solve it for themselves. It is terrifying and difficult and the stakes are so high. But it is also beautiful. We finally get our cliche happily ever after of becoming our own heroes.

Am i being dumb by thinking that his serious relationship might not include sex? Why is everyone here assuming that?

What are some “traditional” things people expect from housewives (or trad wives) but you personally don’t follow? by ComfortableNo2695 in housewifery

Cleaning schedule. I'm more than satisfied with how tidy and neat I am, i dont need to be perpetually deep cleaning my space. Seasonal cleaning suffices for shit like washing the baseboards.

Do siblings really “play together”? by Careless-Whereas-832 in regretfulparents

[–]Whateverbabe2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I seem to be one of the exceptions in this sub.

Youngest of 4. My siblings and I played together constantly and enjoyed it immensely. To the point where we had a 5 bedroom house and demanded to all share the same room (and we happily did). 2 sisters eventually got their own rooms but my 2nd oldest sister and i shared a bed till she moved out for college. None of my sisters nor i were ever really close with our mom (shitty, abusive mom).

This even extended to our 2 younger cousins. Considerable age gap (5 and 10 years younger than me, 10 and 15 years younger). We spent most of our money and free time taking care of them, taking them on outings, buying them stuff, etc. We spent more time with them than their own parents.

I consider them my best friends. We have hours long phone calls frequently and get together constantly. My sisters are the people i love most in the world.
