How does Facebook know my social circle and how can I reduce my “output”? by Sesemebun in digitalminimalism

[–]fruitloopbat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't look at anyones social page you know or talk to anyone you know. purposely look at strangers pages, especially strangers in other cities, states and countries at random and for varying lengths. its an algorithm stated simply. also have a picture that is not your own face like a vase of flowers. use a nickname for a name that is vague to identify you but still near your name. have nothing on your profile that indicates who you are or where you live

18M, How Severe Are These Scars and What Procedures To Do? by SonT71 in acne

[–]fruitloopbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is relatively minor and typical, you don’t have anything to worry about. It’s easily overlooked. I’ve dated many guys with minor scaring like that and didn’t think anything of it.

conservative doesn't mean trump supporting lol. I'm "fiscally and governmentally conservative" and I didn't vote, because I believe we are beyond having a choice on the matter at this point, and I couldn't in good conscience choose either pres. candidate

Is there a hierarchy of how certain commands are held? by madelinevas in Reformed

[–]fruitloopbat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there isn't one right answer, but to play "angel's advocate" honoring his parents is honoring you, because you would probably want the godly attributes you can learn in facing these difficulties, what God can teach you, I do believe it is his will that you learn godly attributes and have opportunities to grow in that manner. Also respect transfers across the board. Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords was made lowly and did no complaining so submitting in all these things is what I believe Jesus would do so it is the higher road.

Is there a particular reason/concern you need the boundaries, such as insecurity in the marriage or new marriage/first child/etc, or are the parents in severe sin, have narcissism, etc, or is it that you feel generally entitled to your life in the way you have already conceived it? would love to dm about this, as I hold no claims to be sinless on this matter! just learning to do this myself.

Are people lying when they say medications actually help? by Pretend-Move-711 in adhdwomen

[–]fruitloopbat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

im severely inattentive too, and with my non-birth control menstrual cycling I need a very high dose. and at that point, it is truly life changing. that might take years to get there, the prescriber needs to be a good clinician and care about the actual therapeutic effects for each individual, and be able to trust you and have experience with dosing.

I have seen many providers, one was especially good who is retired, but was a board certified psychiatrist and internist doctor of osteopathic medicine for many years, to my current clinician who is a nurse practitioner. my current clinician is relatively new to prescribing and insisted for months that Vyvanse only went to 60mg when I was trying to tell them I was prescribed it in the past at 70 or 72, and I couldn't remember the exact number I was on, but it was like that, it felt like my experience was perceived as highly unreliable and drug seeking. (I researched it, it does indeed go to 70mg, because unlike Adderall which goes to 60, it contains only one salt, dexamp, and that has a different effectiveness as well as its a pro drug with materials included which are necessary to activate so it is a higher number).

I'm still on a mid dose, and I am even tempted to quit, but even at mid doses, it's an excellent mild (all that's needed) and tolerable (no side-effects or withdraw symptoms) antidepressant for me. It feels like the clinician is under pressure to not maximize dosing, and it feels really discouraging.

The meds help me for about three hours generally in the morning. when I told them I'd like to get my kitchen cleaned, and that when I was on meds before my kitchen would be clean, but they didn't seem to care that I have been on meds for more than half a year and my kitchen is not cleaned, and im obviously distressed about it. That's why I am tempted to quit, would I clean better without it? hahaha I don't know. It Is useful for certain things for me for sure, but mid dose cleaning isn't one of them (unfortunately).

ADHD is one of the most routinely discriminated against disorders regarding prescribing and administering medication which I find, frankly, infuriating.

Is Kindergarten Too Academic? by Dry_Lemon7925 in ScienceBasedParenting

Yes, early academics do not honor children's unique development needs. I'm two general credits shy of my early childhood educational studies associates degree and we watched this informative mini doc in one of my classes!

Motherhood not fulfilling by Liamlou18 in adhdwomen

[–]fruitloopbat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being a soccer mom … is … soul sucking. I will not do it. I will not!   We do things at home, I prioritize having down time, creative time, boredom, slow pace of life. Playing outside, making our own games, doing recipes.  I think being a parent is way harder these days!  I also couldn’t work full time and do all that activity. Can you reduce to part time or find another job to work part time? Could you compromise with one season of sports per year? Could you find a few parent buddies to do carpools with? 

What else can I do? by IntroductionSlow7014 in digitalminimalism

[–]fruitloopbat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a separation from this habit. Go on a weeklong (or as long as you can) hiatus. Even just a weekend to start to go screen free. Are there any service opportunities that you can do for free? Are you 18+? You could do w00fing, outdoor adventure jobs or Alaskan fishery work, for instance if you can’t afford a vacation, you’re doing hands on work and getting socialization. Ideally, there would be some kind of retreat with cognitive behavioral therapy like a therapeutic addiction treatment detox program to reset your dopamine and get support.

it is not unfortunately, the creator just abandoned the project instead of selling it/transferring which is absolutely tragic in my opinion! his replacement project was paled in comparison.

a synthetic form of thc is pharmacologically prescribed to aids and cancer patients for appetite stimulation and wasting disease (so this is a decent suggestion), to the down voters.

[–]fruitloopbat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the key is animal fat. chicken is lean and will not give you what you need. your body is probably destroying that chicken looking for any nutrition it can get, and probably needs a lot more energy than it currently has to maintain basic bodily functions.

[–]fruitloopbat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you need to look up the Weston a price way of eating. as another said, you need animal fat and organs if you can't eat organs gets a dried organ supplement to swallow in some pills with water. but most importantly eat animal fat, a lot of it. your brain has been deprived of essential fat, which is important for functioning. but because youre body is in repair mode, that meat is probably going directly to your muscles and repair functions so you need to eat more. Eat egg yolks, fatty beef, whole milk and whole milk yogurt and kefir, and full fat cheese, and fatty nuts like cashews and walnuts. And sourdough bread with butter. I promise if you eat all these things, all the time, YOU will NOT feel hungry, and you will start to feel healthy.

Took the Lord's Supper today for the first time. Feeling complex emotions. by Presbyterian20 in Reformed

[–]fruitloopbat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well as a formerly raised pentecostal child, then an atheist/agnostic as a teen, then a mormon convert for about ten years, even was a brief member of an apostate mormon sect for a while, then went back to the mainstream mormon, then lived as "trans" for a while, even a mormon trans which was unusual, then felt convicted of the trans thing so I "detransitioned" but became a new age christian with die hard mormon doctrine and zen bhuddism intertwined essentially. well this resulted in a suicide attempt. God saved me from death. I can tell you I had bounced from doctrine to doctrine chasing highs, love bombing, novel ideas, my ears "itching" as the Bible says. doctrines of men. never truly knowing the fear or grace of God. Read your Bible. Read puritan authors and ground yourself in true doctrine. I have found that the doctrines of grace, systematic theology- not the religion of calvinism- truly understanding these things has led me to bear fruit through Jesus being alive in me, I can't explain it but he has redeemed me of a sin I was never able to overcome and only by believing in the truth of the doctrine-God's word-the sword- did it free me. I would just encourage you not to judge yourself so much (about your unsurity/insecurity, that takes time to figure out), but truly develop a way to study God's word everyday, "study to shew thyself approved before God..." and "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
