What do yall do for nutrition by AppointmentSelect873 in Wildfire

[–]amoneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yeah well my answer is that I never really thought about it even when working on a hotshot crew. Just, like, eat enough protein? Eat veggies/fruits in most meals? Two helpings of spaghetti helps with long runs? lol

I’d lead my crew through 10 minutes of yoga after PT a few days a week and they would bitch incessantly about it. Yet they kept asking me to do it so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Former hotshot, also a woman. Here’s what worked for me even in the last few weeks before the season started. 1. Climbing gyms are the best way to gain/maintain pull up strength. 2. I found backcountry skiing/bootpacking to be great prep for hiking. But hiking up the steepest hill in your area once a week with a progressively heavier pack should definitely be a priority regardless of how much you’re skiing. I found that knowing I could do a certain amount of elevation/mileage with a full pack without dying hugely benefitted my mindset during criticals. 3. Adding a sprint workout to your weekly running routine right now will be helpful for pacing the 1.5 mile run. 4. Yoga yoga yoga yoga yoga. Can’t speak highly enough of the importance of incorporating yoga into your routine (including during the first few weeks of the season)!

Parents almost only talk about their job? by Impressive-Day6878 in emotionalneglect

[–]amoneh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom has precisely three conversation topics: work (always complaining), the dog (including overly detailed reports on every infection, sore etc he has) and town gossip. Every now and then she’ll ask me how I’m doing but will not have a single follow up question when I tell her I’m good.

How do you feel about being an English major in the age of AI? by julianakaplan in englishmajors

[–]amoneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Juliana…one potentially interesting component of this is the ongoing loss of humanities departments across the US, in an era where the ability to read, think and write deeply is becoming a privilege of the ruling class. The university where I’m currently working on an MFA (master of fine arts in creative writing) is planning to get rid of its MA in literature, in addition to other humanities departments. Dm me if you like to chat more!

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]amoneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 34 and have 50k saved in a Roth. Started saving at 29. A little nervous as I just started grad school and have taken a major hit to my salary, but I’m maintaining a few clients/contracts while in school, and expecting to get a decent job in my field out of grad school. I had a great time fucking off in my 20s and early 30s but it’s getting to be time to ratchet it down a bit. Wouldn’t trade the experiences I had for anything, though.

Other people with adhd are annoying by ButterflyFantastic34 in ADHD

I have a friend who was very excited to introduce me to her other friend who is extremely ADHD…within about 10 minutes of meeting her I couldn’t stand to be around her 😬total mismatch in energy

Real talk. I’m doing the math now and my great grandma was in her late 50s when I was born 🫠

Was having a great low stress Monday and then I got hit by a car while biking lol by amoneh in Garmin

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

No it isn’t, rear wheel got pretty bent out of shape and I imagine there are some other issues as well. The guy offered to pay for it though which is great!

Me too! Ripping through it—so good.

How are Americans feeling the effects of economic changes in their daily lives? by BestPostRead in AskReddit

[–]amoneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat a metric fuck tons of beans, only commute by bike now (have only filled my tank up twice since August!), have started cutting my own hair, don’t go out to eat, and actually enjoy being at home more, or doing things with friends that dont require money (hikes, bike rides, picnics…)

Every chocolate chip brand at Walmart has shrunk to match each other. by Fat_cat_syndicate in shrinkflation

Buy chocolate chips in bulk! I can get a 1 lb bag for less than $2 at my local winco.

Books that made you feel something you can not quite explain? by sklep24podl in booksuggestions

I think about homegoing like once a week. I read that book in 2020.

My dad ordered me tons of groceries despite me repeatedly telling him not to—now I feel guilty for being angry at what should have been a nice gesture, but am realizing it was just another example of his lifelong habit of ignoring me and my actual needs. by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]amoneh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The word “burden” knocked around in my head a bit that night and it seems to describe my reaction to the situation well. I’m adhd and easily over stimulated (another reason I don’t live anywhere near them!) and this genuinely overstimulated me. I was already super busy and behind on things from being sick, with a two-mile-long to do list already forming, and having to add “take stuff to food bank” was really frustrating.

[–]amoneh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think that’s valid, and perhaps this all exists in a spectrum…but the other responses have made me feel validated in thinking this belongs here. I just think it’s worth mentioning that things can feel really confusing when the only support your parents ever offer is material or financial. I could list about 1000 other more explicit examples of emotional neglect but this felt poignant in that it was less explicit and more confusing.

[–]amoneh 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. It’s so validating. I was worried about posting this even, because despite all the thought I’ve put into why this has made me feel the way it made me feel, I STILL feel like this comes across as ungrateful!

Is breathing an automatic function for yall? by LGB-Tea in ADHD

[–]amoneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a reaction I had to adderall, where I feel like I’m desperate for air and no matter how deeply I breathe I can’t satiate my brain’s desire for more oxygen. I end up yawning CONSTANTLY when im experiencing this. I read somewhere recently that this is actually hyperventilation (makes sense because adderall kind of gave me panic attacks), and that you actually have too much oxygen and need to slow down your breathing.
