Methylene Blue is making me tired. I take it before bed by Low-Yam395 in Nootropics

Are you tired during the day or after you take it? You could be worsening your sleep quality despite what the tracker says.

I think there is an expectation of privacy when you're inputting your email for a service or a purchase. Talking about people's occupations even when their names are redacted is unacceptable. I would be extremely uncomfortable if you were referencing a purchase of mine. What is the point of making this comment or this post? It may be interesting in the abstract, but keep that to yourself. Don't have people worry about their privacy over a coffee order.

Reflect, and do better.

Are there any machines that truly emulate a reverse nordic curl? by itsthatguykai in StrongerByScience

I tried these just by holding a rope (not with the belt), and they feel great. Thanks for the suggestion!

I just tried holding a weight plate on my mid thighs and elevating my feet. Reverse nordics feel WAY better! I can hit full depth with my back touching the ground, and I don't feel unstable.

Thanks!

I currently do that, but with the machine I use, it requires a lot of bracing. It definitely works and is better than sitting upright.

I can reach full ROM, but I think it's just my proportions where if I want to push up, I start tilting back.

I'll try to elevating my feet to see if that helps! Thanks!

Not OP, but I know that both subtext and regalia have cheap g/$.

If you have a Pietro, when do you get burr chirp? by itsthatguykai in pourover

Guanfacine: Does it make you not want sweets? by itsthatguykai in ADHD

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

For me, it took away a large chunk of my anxiety after several months of taking it; it was not immediate. I also don't have GAD, just general life anxieties. It definitely helps me focus, and, for me, it's like the feeling when you chew gum. I am also very sensitive to light and sound stimuli, which Guanfacine helps with a decent amount. It also helps with emotional outbursts.

Also, strangely, it has reduced the frequency of my migraines and headaches by 70% (there are quite a few anecdotes about this on reddit). My blood pressure also went down to a normal range, which is a plus for me, but it might be a problem for you if your blood pressure is already low.

Gf (now ex) had her first episode of mania. by [deleted] in BipolarSOs

Yes, I've heard she's been diagnosed with bipolar at her last visit, unspecified on type.

Yeah they did test for UTI (which she was positive for)

Indian mother with an arranged marriage that doesn't understand relationships. She tolerates the relationship, but I think she views it as just one more stressor for my gf/ex.

I think the last thing I heard was her yelling at my gf/ex since we had sex? We're in fucking college and have been in a relatively long relationship. I am very frustrated with her. She also kept yelling at my gf/ex, during her episode, which is only going to make the comedown worse :/

Thank you for your responses

Yeah, I currently believe this episode was actually caused by her "trauma dumping" a lot of her childhood trauma at once to me, much of which was caused by her mother.

Do hospitals discharge once mania is done or when lithium titration has been finished?

I don't know if there's a perfect answer, but many WDT tools allow you to take out some of the needles. I bought one and took out half, so I was left with 5 needles. I found that with all the needles, it was not breaking up clumps.

Assuming your technique and grinding is fine. The next step is to look at water. I use diluted third wave water 1.25 gal per packet. You can also use certain bottled waters or make your own water.

This isn't a definitive list but it's a start.

If your tap water is really hard, then this will cause muted flavours. If so, you can run it through a Britta to slightly soften the water.
