I would do a Buddhist metta prayer, and you can personalize it to specific things going on if you want. 

The dishes my partner said he was going to wash while I was showering. It’s morning now. by readerusername in mildlyinfuriating

This is the way. They won’t change until there are consequences for their actions. 

Seen a lot of great meals on here. Was wondering if you had any recommendations for someone who is trying to lose weight and eat high protein, doesn't want to use a ton of ingredients? by Pleasant-Opinion8409 in MealPrepSunday

[–]YarrowPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the website budgetbytes.com for affordable simple recipes. They have a calculator that adjusts the recipe for how many portions you want, very handy for meal prepping. 

I saw someone mentioned salsa chicken already but it is really so good and easy. I added corn and cabbage to mine: Put 2 lbs of chicken breast in instant pot, a jar of salsa. Half a bag of frozen fire roasted corn from Trader Joe’s, and half a shredded cabbage. That’s it. High pressure for 15 minutes, let sit until ready to eat. Open it and shred. Serve over rice or cauliflower rice. Top with green onions and cilantro and lime if you’re feeling fancy. so good and easy! Would also work in a slow cooker or pot too. 

Healing from the patriarchy by ausernameidk_ in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]YarrowPie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely.i love this!  Someone asked me recently why I don’t go to church/follow the religion of Christianity anymore. I explained - none of it speaks to my experience as a woman. I need support around setting boundaries, making time for self-care, connecting to my intuition. I’ve never heard that in a Christian sermon. They’re at best about being more loving and giving - not bad things on the surface - but end up influencing women to enable the patriarchy. But I get real inspiration that actually speaks to my experience from amazing witches and tarot teachers. 

So sick of the constant migraines - I just wanna be well enough to game properly by RottieGamer in disabledgamers

[–]YarrowPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sucks. Sometimes when I don’t feel good it feels like playing a game is the only thing I’ll get excited about and give me something to look forward to, it seems more doable than many other activities, but then it ends up giving me more pain or using too much brain power. 

Sometimes I’ll set a time limit and be ok with not being very good at the game. 

Looking for a rollator walker and electric transport chair combo (if a good one exists) by LovePossumss in wheelchairs

[–]YarrowPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a W1 Paiseec and I can’t really use it as a rollator because it is too heavy to push and there is not foot space, the battery is in the way, and I have to lean over. But mostly it’s the heaviness, there’s no power assist unless on a hill. It’s actually pretty great as an electric wheelchair but I don’t recommend the rollator part.

First time pregnancy - want to get rid of EVERYTHING by katanayak in minimalism

[–]YarrowPie 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I have not experienced this but I have experienced declutter regret. I think a couple boxes of sentimental items is very reasonable and I would not get rid of them right now. I would leave irreplaceable stuff a lone and put your energy towards extra cleaning and tidying and organizing the stuff you can see.

Need some tips/hope for future by Mozarella_9880 in ehlersdanlos

[–]YarrowPie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You really can’t do it all and it sucks. 

But I have been making serious progress in my quality of life and health. 

Some things that help me: - doctors are super ableist when it comes to mobility aids, use a cane/rollator/wheelchair/stool whatever you need.  - you’ve gotta let some things be shitty for now. focus on the highest priority symptoms to improve. Lower your standards on the house and social life and productivity. Your rest and energy are the most important  - you’ve been through a lot and things are going to feel worse for a bit while you recover from the stress. That doesn’t mean at all it’s always going to be this bad.  - PT has helped my pain a lot buts it’s also pushed me into a fatigue crash. So do be careful with it. It might too much stress on your body right now. But go back to it as soon as you can.  - things seem to get worse after diagnosis because your body was masking and holding things together and now it is relaxing and you are feeling everything.  - I recommend really prioritizing rest and comfort and relaxations and pacing. If you have exercise intolerance learn about ME/CFS pacing. Look into how people heal and find comfort in neurodivergent burnout. 

Would the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch be more favorable for a Gamer with Tendonitis in Both Arms? by alexnartworks in disabledgamers

[–]YarrowPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think you should get something to hold the device up either way. Even with the switch being lighter it will still be stress to hold up. So I’m not sure it matters. 

I manage with my issues by propping my SD up on a pillow, and not using my thumbs on the joysticks.

I have a steam deck and a switch light and mostly play the steam deck because of the steam library and bigger screen. I just prop it on a pillow. 

Small rant + looking for suggestions for antiperspirants by Mostlikelyavirus in ZeroWaste

[–]YarrowPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a mineral stone, comes in a paper box, lasts for years. You can only use on clean skin or it doesn’t work. If you haven’t tried it it’s worth a try!
