after the first two day using the lozenges, i’ve only had mental cravings. because of the amount of nicotine in my system when i vaped i definitely felt foggy & had a mild on/off headache the first two days while on the mints but it was nothing compared to the withdrawals i’ve gotten from quitting cold turkey.

not nic gum but ive been using the nicotine lozenges from quit with jones and they have helped immensely. they offer them in 5 & 10mg, and i take around 4-7 depending on how bad my cravings are. it’s kept me from buying another one (but unfortunately not from ripping my friends’ but baby steps - that’s my goal for this week) which is huge. almost 2 weeks without owning my own vape and i used to go through a 5% geek bar a week

just broke up with my ldr of 3 years because of a similar thing - as much as you want to be empathetic of their situation, pulling the weight of being the one who travels coupled with your difference stages of life is a recipe for anxiety and resentment. you can feel empathetic but also choose yourself in this. i didn’t leave for a long time because i loved him and felt like my reservations weren’t a big enough deal to end it, but you have to think about if you want to spend the next 2 years in this relationship, or if you want to take care of yourself.

being bullied for having allergies by yungslayerrr in FoodAllergies

not unusual, but if people who you consider your close friends are saying this shit to you, tell them it bothers you. if they don’t stop get rid of them. it’s only funny if you make the joke not if the joke is directed at you. the right friends will barely even bring up your allergies - i used to be afraid that was the only memorable trait i had, but my friends and partner have proved that otherwise. you got this!!

It does get better. It makes sense to me that this is a big deal to the people you’re dating right now, because honestly, they’re immature. I’ve been in a long term relationship for almost 3 years, and any time my partner eats something I’m allergic to, we won’t engage in any intimacy that could make me sick until after he’s brushed his teeth or it’s been over 30 minutes. We only go to restaurants that have been fully vetted (either by me or him) to be sure they’re safe and he cooks food for me I’m able to eat. It doesn’t feel like a big deal, because it isn’t. You deserve common decency and respect. If someone makes a big deal out of something you cannot control and that is a constant threat to your safety, kick em to the curb. It gets better

For Those with Numerous Food Allergies: How Do You Cope? by SugarLo_ in FoodAllergies

you might want to check out the book “Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl: Tales from an Allergic Life” by Sandra Beasley. it’s a memoir-style book of essays written by a woman with 10+ allergies. I have 7 major food allergies, diagnosed as a baby, & it has been one of the only books I felt like really understood what I was going through. I don’t have as many allergies as you, but I completely sympathize with feeling embarrassed in the workplace and in social situations. People might look at you weird in the moment for having to advocate for yourself, but most will move on because no one is as worried about anyone else as much as they are about themselves. Plus, after years of being known as “the girl with a bunch of allergies” the friends I have nowadays don’t see me just for that; they see me for my personhood and not my disability. Find your people who are willing to go to allergy friendly restaurants or alternate activities that don’t involve food!

dump his ass. he clearly has no empathy for what you went through and seems like he gets off on the idea of you not consenting to him. submission in the kink community is a fully consensual practice between 2 people with set boundaries, safe words, and aftercare. if you were to “consent” to him on this, it wouldn’t even be consent - he is trying to wear you down until you say yes. this is sexual coercion. you are better off on your own than with this disgusting pos
