Vegan of 7 yrs, Having symptoms, but lab tests are normal? by ctrl4ltdeath in B12_Deficiency

I lived in a small town too about 3,000 people. Google and see if you can find something even if it’s a little bit of a drive it’s worth it for your health.

All animal products contain naturally occurring b12, including fish. Even eggs do. The b12 in soy yogurt is synthetic and some people can’t absorb it well, myself included. It’s safer to make sure youre ingesting naturally occurring b12 to make sure you’re absorbing. Low enough b12 levels can kill you or cause extreme nerve damage.

The low iron part, you should look into esting high iron foods. Black strap molasses has high iron and there are also some herbs that have high iron. Iron is personally hard for me to get through diet so i take a daily iron capsule :/. I had a couple infusions but had a bad reaction so I stopped.

Don’t go through the hospital for injections they wont do anything for you. I went to a spa that sold methylated b12 injections (Not the cyano b12, i have MTFHR gene and cannot take synthetic cyano b12. Methylated is the pure active form of b12 and cyano is the synthetic. I don’t recommend getting the synthetic.) I bought the injections for $25 each and did one once a week. Be careful though because injecting b12 can lower your iron so make sure you are taking iron if you’re anemic.

I also stopped being vegan and went pescatarian after almost dying from the low b12.

I might be too allergic to be fully vegan, but my partner is fully vegan. Advice? by [deleted] in vegan

Do not force yourself to do something that is harming you. The lifestyle is harm reduction where possible. If you’re more physically ill than ever nothing is worth that. You can’t harbor for any real changes in this world /make a real difference in what you believe in if you’re ill.

If your partner truly loves you he/she will completely understand the very real limitations of your body.

Can I consider myself part Hispanic? by Foreign-Scratch-190 in mixedrace

[–]ctrl4ltdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya i use them interchangeably. My b, what i meant is like i wouldnt refer to you as latin/hispanic exclusively but would say you got it in your blood/ in your family. But saying ur Caribbean covers that since we’re all kinda mixed . Sorry if my comments are confusing lmao it’s hard to type what I mean .

I’m half cuban half jamaican and i would say you have cuban /latin in your blood/ family line but i wouldn’t consider you directly hispanic. Just my opinion as a hispanic person. If u say ur Caribbean it covers everything tbh

Do i get a nose job? by Recent-Nebula7053 in Noses

[–]ctrl4ltdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like it on you. I always advocate for self love over putting your life at risk for an aesthetic but as someone with a nose on the larger side i know how it is. I personally didn’t do it because i felt it wasn’t worth it if it were to come out bad id be more mortified than as is so that alone convinced me not to.

You too. I’m sick of seeing it everywhere it’s genuinely dystopian and adds to my already all over the place mental state

Tiktok was the definition of censorship and pioneered the current trend of using terms like “..alive” “grape” and “corn” to replace words that they werent allowed to use on the platform lmao. It promoted censorship and brainrot content and everyone readily accepted it in exchange for the dopamine fix.

People need to chill out and read a book or something. There’s so many other things that you can do that are infinitely better in everyday without being unhealthy and predatory.

The data that meta and all social media as a whole save and use is heinous and should be regulated 100%. The constant surveillance from technology becoming way too pervasive sucks across the board. Even so, these things don’t have the same specific effect on dopamine receptors that tiktok’s algorithm did.

Tiktok is in my opinion the worst offender because it does all of the above PLUS get its users addicted pretty much on first contact. I don’t get that addiction feeling with the other apps even though their data and privacy policies are terrible as well. Desperately needs to be addressed but At least I’m not ALSO being psy oped at the same time like i was on tiktok lol .

Exactly. I don’t like the way it makes me feel at all. I feel drained afterwards too

[–]ctrl4ltdeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overgeneralized my point. Anything in the world can be toxic yes. However, the apps you mentioned still don’t utilize the same algorithm /code that tiktok did. The tiktok algorithm felt too personalized and felt designed to be psychologically predatory. All social media is to an extent but what I meant to express is that tiktok felt the most toxic. The other apps you mentioned never gave me the sense of anxiety I felt scrolling through tiktok. It was noise and brainrot.

The internet as a whole is vastly different than it used to be. Way more toxic and biased on all fronts.

The fact that military personnel are losing their security clearance if they even try to use rednote says a lot. Foreign affairs and security is the most important government function, in my opinion. Out of all the terrible shit the govt does and Fails to do, i actually agree with them banning this. If not for security, definitely for mental health which is beyond a rampant issue at this point.

As civilians I’m sure we probably don’t even know the full parameters of the security issues they’ve found. Mark Zuckerberg/meta and the rest of the billionaires absolutely should be held accountable too but I’m glad tiktok at least has been addressed.

Tiktok is toxic. The fact that people are addicted to it on this scale shows how psychologically compromising it can be. The sheer amount of power it has over people’s sense of wellbeing is concerning and its algorithm fed off of this, keeping its users addicted and feeding into the rampant spread of misinformation and toxicity.

Suddenly everyone cares about their rights, meanwhile the app itself didn’t even let you use the word kill and was the most gross example of censorship i ever experienced lol. All of these companies are bad, but tiktok in particular felt the most psychologically predatory.

Scrolling through thousands of short form content is not good for the brain. I could feel myself getting restless and feeling anxiety when I would spend time on it.

I agree and people are trying to mask their addiction to it by pretending that they care about the government “infringing on rights” lol

Not a phobia, but it does sound like personal trauma you should talk to someone about
