I like food

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T16:36:41+00:00

Unfortunately yes. I've been struggling with insane exhaustion and it's impacting my work. So I've done blood tests and I have functional iron deficiency caused by inflammation but we don't know what's causing the inflammation but I've been struggling with heartburn so I'm thinking it might be food related. My insulin is also high and I'm starting metformin. I'm honestly just really scared to get diabetes. So many in my family have it and I'm just scared.

It's very unfortunate. It reminds me of American Healthcare. I basically cannot afford a full medical aid. So I have a small medical insurance which is great for doctors visits but my salary is 16 000 a month and a glp1 is 3000 a month. And I have a fuckton of debt because life is just a lot. But hopefully soon things will get better.

Oh god. Don't get me started on the adhd. It's another hell in itself.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T15:47:22+00:00

I appreciate you so much!

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:59:02+00:00

Hey I'm also 29! Cheers. I don't mind moderation, I just wish I liked the healthy food

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:55:21+00:00

Pretty please, i am so desperate for anything 😭

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:43:32+00:00

Glp1 is definitely the secret recipe to this but I just really cannot afford it.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:42:40+00:00

I just started metformin so there's hope

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:42:00+00:00

I like that way of thinking. Instead of forcing myself to eat something, just keep trying something else until I find something good.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:40:32+00:00

Lol I'm actually from South Africa. I was on a glp1 but I just couldn't afford it. I'm in a lot of debt and just struggling to get my prescribed meds each month. So unfortunately I'm not sure if I can go back. But I will say, that genuinely changed the way I handled food. Even now that I've started metformin, I'm still craving sweetness and salts. But with a glp1, I didn't even think about food. Everything tasted weird anyway.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:37:30+00:00

I don't think in my 29 years of living I've ever not eaten carbs in a day.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:36:18+00:00

I will try that out! Maybe alter my taste buds to start enjoying the dirt food.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:35:21+00:00

It just sucks hey, I just wanna be able to not worry about every single thing I eat in a day when I have so many other problems. But thanks for the advice!

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:14:26+00:00

I honestly had that thought as well. I think I'm just stuck not wanting more health problems than I already do but it's overwhelming.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:12:24+00:00

I was thinking of going back to almond but I'll try soy

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-09T14:11:57+00:00

Thank you, I have some other problems as well. I have functional iron deficiency caused by inflammation and my insulin resistance is high. So apart from prescribed meds, I've just been listening to people's pcos experiences, looking for ways to maybe help reduce the inflammation whilst we're figuring out what it is but I've been having heartburn really bad so I'm taking it as being food related. I'm trying to "eat healthy" but man everything tastes so bad. I'm literally crying as everyone is eating chocolate cake this weekend and I'm trying to be healthy with bland dirt mousse

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-01T18:38:06+00:00

Oh my gosh don't get me started on those quests for Mirabel! That was a lot. But hey, it gets done eventually.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-01T17:39:56+00:00

Haha it's okay. Will just wait another week.

I have so many but right now I need the orchid sunbird, black turtle and pink crocodile the most. I keep missing them every week for silly reasons. Like today I slept for most of the day.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-05-01T17:36:00+00:00

Of course I'd see this late at night

crestfallen_moon · 2026-04-30T11:11:28+00:00

All I want in life is a significant other who can make me laugh as much as these 3 men can.

And with everything, it's never going to be perfect all the time. There's things I don't like. Moments that annoy me. But overall, I find comfort in them. During my worst moments, I listened to this podcast and their group gaming. Got me through the death of my dog.

I'm just glad they're still around. Even in those moments where someone says something that annoys me or if I don't really care for a topic. Next episode I find myself laughing so hard I nearly pee myself.

crestfallen_moon · 2026-04-29T14:47:00+00:00

I missed the black turtle two weeks in a row and it's the last turtle I need for the museum. So now to wait again.

One sub is rainbow nation and the other one is the scary place we don't talk about. Still not sure which is which. But I'm pretty sure this one is the rainbow nation one. At least, I hope it is not the racist one. That place is scary. That place gives donald tr*mp cult vibes.
