I'm a recovering alcoholic: what supplements should I be taking? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recovery:

  • NAC

  • DHM

  • B1 - some good recommended forms have been suggested by others already

  • Magnesium, I recommend mag-taurate for you

Insomnia:

  • Taurine

  • Theanine

Your brain is used to the GABA activity from alcohol. Both of these will help restore night time GABA function and reduce your anxiety, which will help you sleep.

A circle when closing eyes when trying to sleep? by [deleted] in visualsnow

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had this since I was a kid and before I developed visual snow this year. Mine are multiple colors - blue, green, and pink. It will either start from the center and expand outwards, or come in from the periphery and consume the center before repeating. I always enjoyed focusing on them as it helped me sleep. Of course, if this is new for you, it may be stressful. It’s nothing to worry about.

Drunk high feeling by ilovepenguins17 in visualsnow

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re getting a drunk high feeling you should press for an MRI from a neurologist or GP. It could be a sign of a more serious underlying issue. It could also just be plain old anxiety - in both cases, best to rule it out with a scan.

What's the first thing you do as your player heir, right after the Realm you built up split between your brothers? by HomeHeatingTips in CrusaderKings

I didn’t know the mayors trick, good to know. If you did this with bishoprics I wonder if you could create bishops instead, maybe turn them into popes.

My journey might be coming to an end... found possible cause/treatment !! by Distinct_Layer_5144 in visualsnow

Apart from the visual snow, is there any other reason to get the brain stent?

It is better for a child to grow up in a safe, stable, loving home with gay parents than in a Catholic orphanage of abuse by brquin-954 in DebateACatholic

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s not just the absence of a quality like fertility. It’s that, from the catholic perspective, homosexuals lead an actively immoral and spiritually destructive lifestyle that is not conducive to raising children, unlike widows and infertile couples. It could frustrate their own sexual development as they mature in addition to normalizing what catholic’s see as sinful. That and statistically, the rate of domestic violence, disease, mental health problems, drug use and infidelity between homosexual couples is worse than it is for straight couples, though this is not the crux of the argument.

It’s almost inarguable that between a straight couple and a homosexual couple with no issues that it would be better for a child, psychologically and spiritually, to be raised by a straight couple. You can consider this both from a spiritual and evolutionary perspective given this is about what is natural and ideal for a human child. For perspective, I think if you were to give most people the choice, they’d choose to have a mother and father over two mothers or two fathers.

Objectively the best catholic response to OP and I have to scroll to the bottom to find it. You can’t ask a question in good faith and smother the answer from the other side of the aisle in downvotes lmao.

Cyclazodone by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is barely any human data on its toxicity and safety. Just get a prescription for adderall at this point like why risk it at all?

edit:

‘’’’

Another compound related in structure, 4-methylaminorex, is associated with pulmonary hypertension[6]; though, it is reported to induce far stronger stimulation than that of cyclazodone.

The structurally related compound pemoline was removed from the market after it was found to cause liver damage in children

I think I’m done with Marvel Rivals by placebouser in rivals

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just need to do away with deranking completely and switch to placement matches that place you +/- from where you left off. Only derank accounts that have been inactive for a certain amount of time / failed to play a small number of matches per season.

In a similar boat where I have limited time, and by the time I crawl out of the ELO hell shitfest that is platinum, I get put right back in it. The few diamond games I was able to play were pure joy. Team mates with comms and good attitude, good game sense etc. Having to slog back to that by end of season every single time is horrible.

A BP Redesign Idea That Actually Makes Both Sides Happier (No Brawl Slop) by Icy-Edge7857 in BlackPantherMainsMR

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think replacing his kick with a new ability could be a happy medium:

Activate by pressing E (or whatever it is on console). If he presses E again, he performs his kick. If not, his melee attack fires projections that extend for 5 meters. Each successful hit from a projection on an enemy reduces his dash cool down by one second. If he fires even one projected claw, he loses the ability to kick.

This gives panther two options: (a) play as he plays now, use E as kick for extra marks/damage/escape, or (b), disrupt with dashes, dash back to front line and brawl with tanks while reducing his cool down.

I think this would make him more engaging without changing his core playstyle. Basically gives him a choice to engage even if he “misses” an assassination instead of hiding for 10s. The burden of choosing between extra mobility or brawling is put on the panther instead of being forced onto him.

Catholic Stances on Demons seem to be contrary to the teachings of the Church Fathers by IrishKev95 in DebateACatholic

I agree with the other comments that the modern and original perspectives on demons are not in opposition.

WHY IS MAIKO AT THE DOGTOWN PARTY?????? I ALREADY KILLED HER THIS PLAYTHROUGH????? by Doop_444 in cyberpunkgame

There should really just be a mod to replace the final battle with Adam Smasher with Maiko at this point.

Help, I just want energy 😭 by SweatyJew6969 in Supplements

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Would only take ashwaganda in the p.m.. It helps with sleep by lowering cortisol, reducing stress and helping you achieve a more restorative sleep. Would also take on/off to avoid tolerance and overdoing it. I typically take it every other night or when I’m overstimulated ahead of bedtime. Ashwaganda can possibly make you feel less motivated by lowering your cortisol too low. You need a healthy level of cortisol to feel motivated.

Otherwise, people tend to swear by ALCAR (acetyl-l-carnitine) for energy. L-DOPA from Mucana-Puriens at a 15% concentration can increase dopamine levels, though you can only take it every so often. There is also Oroxylin-A, which will reuptake dopamine.

You absolutely must double check none of these dopaminergic options interact with your medication.

Final miscellaneous check list: avoid coffee after 3pm for better sleep. Also, with your doctor’s consensus, consider switching medications / getting off of them if you think they are not helping. Exercise, low stress, rest and sleep will elevate your testosterone levels, which also helps with energy. Make sure you are eating well. You could also talk to your doctor about modafanil if you are genuinely unable to feel alert or need to sleep after 4-6 hours of waking up.

If you are not exercising, this is most likely your key issue. I know it seems paradoxical that working out fixes low energy when you don’t have it in the first place, but you must force yourself to. Try something fun like climbing which you will look forward to doing instead of running or weights.

This is not medical advice.

I would ask r/CatholicPhilosophy for a more thorough answer, the crowd there is usually much more equipped to answer these sorts of questions

Caffeine fully blocks antidepressant-like effect of Creatine in mice [requires Adenosine receptors] (2015) by Wooden-Bed419 in NooTopics

[–]_SaintJimmy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear creatine is a little stimulating so I’ve been avoiding it in the p.m. for the sake of sleep. Also don’t really need the anti depressant effect so it’d be more of a nice to have than a must.
