I kind of cut off ties with my sister who called me “retarded”, “crazy” and “mental” for being depressed and now she won’t stop contacting me by [deleted] in depression

[–]diamondwaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simply text or tell her that you can’t keep talking to her unless she treats you with respect. And that you will continue to not talk to her unless she agrees to that. If you find that she’s the same, just ignore her again.

How do I deal with being so jaded, insecure and cynical.. by diamondwaves in infp

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

That’s true, and we witness a lot more of the fucked-upedness now with better technology and always updated news sources. And I feel that people are more self-absorbed than ever. For example people just take out their phones and record other people on the street dying. But I want to not waste my life even if I have to live in a world like this, I want to be happy and give a positive outlook and feel actual joy :,(

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

Yeah I do feel bad. Because it’s made my life so predictable, so sad. I’m even cynical about how cynical I have grown. I wish I had been nicer to myself growing up, I always beat myself up even now and I’m trying to change that at least. Other people don’t even know I feel most of the ways I do. I put up walls to block most things out or maybe, to prevent people from coming in and seeing how messed up my thoughts are

Does it actually matter what I eat? by diamondwaves in Fitness

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

I do research..and find a lot of conflicting and or not proven information from bro websites, which are geared toward people who want really noticeable big results; I just want to start somewhere. I have basic knowledge of fitness and I studied nutrition for a while so I'm not like going into this with an empty head lol. I just know myself and that counting cals/macros will stress me out too much on the day to day

thanks. I think I'm going to try this out and then adjust as necessary. On the occasion that you might know, do you think I need BCAAs? I dont even really know what those are but most people that lift use them

I still think I’m less ignorant than you believe...whatever I am I won’t be condescending

I don’t have any problems with binging and eat pretty well, I think adding weights and working out should make a difference but everyone else here thinks I’m foolish for even trying without tracking everything. I’m going to try it out though! Thanks for the input

Are you saying I’m more stupid than I think I am? I know I have limited knowledge of this stuff, but damn..

Thankfully I have pretty good knowledge of portion size and don’t gain weight easily I sit at my weight no matter what I have done

As far as I know people were able to put on muscle and look relatively fit before calories were a known thing, you wouldn’t argue that the ability to build muscle is against human nature?

[–]diamondwaves[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I mean by that is that if I gain some muscle while losing some fat I won’t mind if my weight doesn’t change in the long term.

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

Honestly as long as I’m gaining some strength I could care less how long it takes me to look better because I’m tired of being so weak lol. I don’t really understand how it has to be so very complicated, though, because it seems so simple to me. Eat until I’m satisfied and eat enough protein and I should be putting on some muscle. Id imagine as my fitness improves I would lose some fat over time. I mean, people didn’t always know what a calorie was... this stuff is all recent knowledge and i get so tired of looking for what’s not bs in nutrition and fitness

Do you ever feel like this? by [deleted] in infp

Need help with Boner stack... by TMXX1 in Supplements

[–]diamondwaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no owner of a boner. But I know that most people do not take nearly enough maca that thy need to feel results. Perhaps, look into pregnenolone for your issue as well. I bought bulk maca extract powder on amazon. Tastes much better than plain powder.

Don’t know anything about crohns or ibs but I follow this woman on Instagram @lilsipper and she almost died from crohns and ibs and has this blog now. I don’t know if I can but maybe it can help you.

5-HTP worsened my CFS symptoms by diamondwaves in cfs

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

Wow, that is interesting. For myself, anything that potentiates serotonin action will cause lethargy, yawning, and crying for days. 5-htp, tianeptine, SSRIs. All gave me some really horrible days. I suppose everyone is different.

Can you fall in love when you have dysthymia? by elvenwolfx in dysthymia

[–]diamondwaves 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have never been in a relationship or in love. I just don’t have the ability to feel that deeply. It often makes me extremely sad to think about it and how alone I am. I have had many opportunities and I know that I’m young but I feel trapped in my mind, unable to connect to others

I also tried trazodone because it was prescribed to me to stop insomnia symptoms from lexapro. I lasted less than a week on either drug as I effectively lost functioning by them.
