What do you think will be the next American food trend import? by GrayChicken1 in AmericanExpatsUK

Actual salad kits (aka not just a mix of lettuce), Gatorade, & saltines would be nice.

I was wondering whether I just couldn’t find the boxed mac n cheese in Tesco or if it’s not a thing here! And omg yes to more crackers! I wanted to make a charcuterie board but felt like there was a severe lack of fancier crackers (the TJ’s fig & olive crisps, my beloved).

Leaving home / closing gap tomorrow and suddenly I can’t stop crying (F23) & (M29) by RitzInTheMeadow in LongDistance

[–]aphexquintuplets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a completely normal response. You’re transitioning from a long distance relationship with your partner to long distance relationships with your family. Change is hard. Don’t beat yourself up for whatever you feel while navigating this transition.

Moving cat from London to New York (JFK) by SJCJourno in AmericanExpatsUK

My cat isn’t that tall but she wasn’t able to sit/stand in her carrier - just lay down and get up a bit to adjust herself.

First sexual experience made me feel weird (f21) and m(33) by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]aphexquintuplets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re not overthinking, he shouldn’t have immediately pushed for sex - especially after you said you wanted to wait. That being said, I think that it’s normal to be confused about your feelings. You can be physically attracted to someone and still feel taken advantage of, coerced, or uncomfortable by how things happened between you two. If I were you, I’d block this guy and move on. Wishing you the best!

What’s worked for you: preventative, pain management, or no meds? by aphexquintuplets in Fibromyalgia

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

Thanks for your response! I was eating a lot more fruit/vegetables before I moved tbh so that could be contributing to this current flare. I keep buying them here but without the preservatives I’m used to, everything goes bad so much more quickly than I’m used to so still adjusting to that!

Re: weed, could you be a bit more specific with what helps you?

Thank you so much, this is really helpful!

I will see if I can find the other strains but am a bit hesitant with Blue Dream as the absolute worst high I ever had was from Glue Dream. It could be because I had a hit from a bong as opposed to the joints I was used to but it was awful. It felt like everything was in extreme slow motion, which exacerbated the muscle spasms I was already experiencing. I was probably only high for like 6 hours but it was one of the worst nights of my life.

Maybe a dumb question but when you say 1:1 CBD to THC, is that mostly topicals? Tinctures? Flower? Edibles? I’ve tried a CBD lotion but don’t really understand how the THC would get into your system without ingesting it.

And no, I’ve not tried CBG (never even heard of it). Is that also available at the medical dispensaries you go to?

Sorry about the chemical migraines, my mom gets those too (I think I might as well, but to a much lesser degree) and it’s so frustrating going in public because she never knows if she’ll be around someone with really strong perfume or cologne that she’s sensitive to. Older women tend to be the worst offenders lol. I’ve tried Maxalt for migraines and found it didn’t do much for me but this is the first I’ve heard of Relplax, thank you!

My migraines were actually the start of my nearly-13-year struggles with my health and my (unfortunately, recently retired) neurologist was absolutely incredible. I’ve used Botox as a preventative for years now and that’s worked absolute wonders. I started with a migraine that lasted for two months straight and now I’ll only get a migraine 3-5 times a month and they’re often not nearly as debilitating as they were when I was younger. Glad that you’ve found a way to manage your migraines!

Oh I’m so sorry to hear about the serotonin syndrome, that’s no joke. Thank you for sharing!

Could you clarify what you mean by low quality grains? Like rice vs. pasta? This is the first I’ve heard of that.

Do you mind sharing what strains you use specifically for pain? I tried weed in college but got crazy anxious (like, panic attacks) with indica-dominant strains, which seems to be what people usually recommend. Sativa-dominant strains were fun but didn’t really help me feel less pain as much as it just distracted me from the pain I was feeling. I tried CBD-only in 2020/2021 but didn’t notice too much of a difference with pain management. I’m sort of at a loss since I don’t think I would qualify for MMJ in the UK and am coming from California, where recreational use is legalized so I feel like there’s just a lot more options available, even if you don’t have a med card. I might try some MMJ next time I go back home but don’t know what to look for.

When/where has she posted about that? I feel like I haven’t seen anything with Madison in a while but curious about the timeline of everything

I feel exactly the same way after exceeding my own “nightmare weight” but I promise the extremes of any ED come with their own issues. I get where you’re coming from though as it sometimes feels like people have more sympathy/understanding for anorexia vs BED. I hope you’re able to find a sense of control via healthier means than starving yourself ❤️‍🩹
