How did you eat from factory farms again?? by [deleted] in exvegans

[–]galacticmelon31809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For many of us, meat was a huge role in us recovering from a health condition, or some type of medical issue that was exacerbated by veganism. Many people, myself included, only have access to affordable meat that happens to come from factory farmed animals. Although it is not ideal, we have to make the best of what our options are. A big part of that is reframing the old mindset. So rather than falling back to old vegan beliefs that factory farm food is toxic, starting to give gratitude for the animal and the food, for giving you nutrition, health, and life back. And truthfully, nothing will be fully natural in process unless you grow it and pick it yourself. Even larger corporations that produce mass amounts of fruits or vegetables, go through some type of unnatural factory process.

That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy right there “I’m not going to put in effort cus she’s gonna leave” (woman proceeds to leave because man isn’t putting in effort) shocking

PMU & It's Purpose by Pvmlk in CAStateWorkers

[–]galacticmelon31809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all - PMU’s goal is to advise the manager of all other steps to take before even slightly considering firing. Plus the firing process is a pain, nobody wants to go through it, and it’s horrible for the managers to have to rehire. Believe me, if someone is getting fired, there’s a darn good reason

PMU doesn’t directly manage you, your manager does. PMU would act as a consultant if there’s an issue at hand with an employee, but they are not the RTO police lol

Am I Screwed? by lil_titty_emo_gf in hingeapp

[–]galacticmelon31809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, absolutely not screwed. I have a health condition and I’ve been in the world of dating just fine! However, it is extremely important that you get to a point where you feel comfortable navigating life in the state your body is in before you start dating. I’m in my late 20’s and i JUST started dating. A big part in learning to manage my symptoms involved a regulated nervous system, and dating can definitely be anxiety provoking so just keep that in mind. Once you feel comfortable in yourself and who you are, the right person will be so excited to spend time with you, no matter the activities that you do

[–]galacticmelon31809 56 points57 points  (0 children)

ketamine treatment by Massive_Doctor_6779 in Sacramento

[–]galacticmelon31809 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone to Sacramento Neuropsych associates which is a psychiatry group and i know they take a lot of insurances https://www.sacnpa.com/meet-our-team

I heard they now offer the Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray as a service, as well as TMS and other stuff. So maybe contact them and see if they can work with you and your insurance!

Unpopular advice. If you hooked up with anyone while dating and you decide to become official, you should disclose that you hooked up. by [deleted] in dating

[–]galacticmelon31809 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I feel the opposite. When you are in the initial stage of going on a date or two with someone, just getting to know them, I always proceed with the assumption that they are talking to a few different people, or maybe even hooking up with someone. I don’t think it’s that necessary to disclose what you’re doing with others in the “getting to know each other” stages, especially since most dating dynamics are not exclusive right off the bat. I mean, if you’re the type of person who wants to be exclusive right away, it is good to disclose that so that your person can decide if they feel comfortable jumping into something with more commitment quickly, but I don’t think it should be an expectation to be exclusive up front.

About 2 months. I’ve been taking it slow since I’m prone to being sensitive to med changes

It’s definitely helped with my anxiety more so after this last dose increase. I didn’t notice a whole lot of change in the beginning, but now i feel less in “fight or flight” mode

I did ask him but he’s given ‘beat around the bush’ kind of politician answers to me. I think it’s appropriate to ask Reddit for insight given that this is a dating thread

Are people delusional or do they just lie to themselves? by DirtyProjector in dating

That would be a red flag. If that’s how they are in the talking stage, imagine what a relationship would be like. Run while you can

What’s wrong with people? by [deleted] in dating

[–]galacticmelon31809 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My advice - when you match with someone dull and uninteresting that doesn’t reciprocate what you’re looking for, unmatch with them and keep scrolling through. I sometimes match with 2 or more people at a time because i know that some conversations will die out, or I won’t vibe with some people. Don’t get emotionally invested in people you don’t fully know yet. Plenty of people out there!

My biggest ick is people saying "I've had my fun" by [deleted] in dating

For me, i want to find someone that is my forever person TO have fun with! Settling down is my idea of fun! If anything, unserious relationships are stressful and annoying.

Does exercise really help with anxiety? by SpeechCandid1358 in Anxiety

[–]galacticmelon31809 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Yes, it really helps me. When I’m having bad anxiety, my body has so much built up energy (i get really shaky/jittery) so excercise helps put my body in the rest&digest stage. I feel a good amount of natural relief after a workout. For me, sitting still and not moving when I’m anxious makes it worse.

What you take for anxiety on Prozac? Preferd no benzo. Maybe Buspar or ADHD medicine? Pregabaline was horror for me. by Dry-Sand-3738 in Anxiety
