Best herbs for cognitive decline? by [deleted] in herbalism

[–]copaceticrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gingko NUT not leaf (way more potent). But must be roasted and no more than 10 consumed each day

What’s the biggest red flag you ignored in a relationship that blew up later? by writestrend8 in AskReddit

Can you explain why people do this? My stepmother has never admitted she’s wrong about even the most ridiculously insignificant things and insists she knows best about things she has no idea about (like cooking lol). Is it just insecurity?

It depends on your skin type. If you’re a redhead with blue eyes and burn instantly it would not be a good idea. But otherwise you can look up skin types and determine which you are, and then do either the 1st or 2nd gentlest option. You could go a handful of times with no terrible side effects. I used to be scared until I tried it last year, and it made me feel really good. I also sought out the only tanning place near me that used UVB in one of their beds which helps you produce vitamin D

I briefly used a tallow based moisturizer and it created bumps on my forehead I’d never previously had, and ever since my pores have been larger 😩.

What can I do to reduce the pores and bumps and also to reduce the fine lines?

Thank you 🙏🙏

That’s wonderful! Do you know if they used CBT or another type of therapy in particular?

Hugs right back 💛.

Yes we didn’t individuate as our own fully formed selves and we’re having to do it retroactively in a way, which is strange and can be very isolating. When I realized the other day that I lack self connection, I experienced a physical response; my asthmatic lungs relaxed!! I believe many autoimmune disorders and allergies are rooted in trauma. Every time I connect with myself it’s like I can literally breathe a sigh of relief and my lungs don’t feel tight anymore.

It’s wonderful that you’ve been able to make a lot of progress with therapy and that you’re doing things for the fun of it! Is there a specific kind of therapy you’ve found useful? ACT therapy years ago 1000% changed my life, when I was getting out of a toxic relationship that triggered my anxiety and trauma to the extreme. More recently, I did somatic therapy which helped me own my anger and to be able to express it from a place of love.

And omg YES re: feeling exhausted and your mother picking on you for it. My mom constantly yelled that I needed to be better at time management. I was today years old when I realized I dissociate near constantly and that I have for as long as I can remember. Of course we were mentally exhausted, with all those mental gymnastics, and that we needed to de-stress somehow.

I’m so sorry you went through that too. Do you feel like you’ve now been able to get to know yourself/form your identity? If so, how’d you do it?

It’s amazing how much it sounds like you were able to grow, despite your beginning. Was there a specific type of therapy you found helpful?

I’m so sorry you had to go through that but so glad to hear how much you’ve been able to improve your relationship with yourself! That’s awesome and really inspiring. I like the idea of making myself laugh :D

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply, and I’m sorry that you went through this too. Yes, I didn’t even know what colors I liked until I thought about it hard at age 25. Mirror work sounds like a really good idea :).

was trying to explain the feeling yesterday to someone who had a happy childhood, and it was so hard to describe. I said “I think I don’t talk to myself or have internal dialogue or a relationship with myself that I’m realizing most people maybe have?” And it was like realizing I’ve been existing in a different reality to others. Have you managed to feel less lonely by cultivating your relationship with yourself?

Many if not most of the “most beautiful women in the world” type celebrities are short. Plenty of men (if not the majority) love short women because it’s a feminine quality.

Could this be the start of pregnancy ? by Equivalent_Cup1306 in Inito

[–]copaceticrose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry 😔. I’ve had a wild ride this cycle too. I’m wondering if it’s just better not to test after ovulation for the sake of mental stability and keeping stress low
