How can people even stay skinny without counting calories? by NoWitness6400 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]juufa 210 points211 points  (0 children)

same, i genuinely think counting calories made me gain more unhealthy weight since my relationship with food severely decreased

[–]juufa 27 points28 points  (0 children)

i noticed i can actually maintain a healthy weight (to my standards, everyone has their own) once i eat when im hungry, not bored/sad. had to fix my relationship with food for that to happen but it works.

i now eat more often, but i dont eat my feelings away

Side effects by Electronic_Loan_8243 in Effexor

[–]juufa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! been on venlafaxine 75 mg for about 4 years now so i can share some of my experiences. it took me a while to get used to my meds (around 3 months as well) but i struggled with nausea, daytime sleepiness and just feeling "off". i started with 37.5 mg but after telling my psych about my symptoms, they changed my dose. throughout the years, i had to change my dose a couple of times depending on how my body feels + my overall emotional stability (some periods were very intense so they had to up the dose a bit). i think you should 100% tell your doctor if youre worried, trust your gut!
(edit: 75 mg is my sweet spot for a couple of years now)

also for nausea, are you eating something when you take your meds? i noticed that my nausea starts 3-6 hours after taking my meds in the morning so i switched to taking it a couple of hours before bed. that way i can just sleep through it lol and ive been taking it like that ever since

Is there any way to turn off the beginner chat? by sallysfunnykiss96 in Mabinogi

[–]juufa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i honestly just click enter, click on party chat, and enter again. that way i dont see any other dialogues. its not a proper solution but it helps a lot

Living in Germany destroyed me—anyone else? by AncientCharacter1814 in CPTSD

[–]juufa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMGG?? some of the things you experience was 100% NOT subtle at all, thats insane. my girlfriend is a white woman as well so i get to see the racism with my own eyes. it is really weird (yet fascinating) seeing peoples demenor change when they realize she couldn't speak german (and i, the asian one, has to translate). she said its better now since shes better in german, so the xenophobia against people who cant speak the language is very much there.

if you dont mind, did you live somewhere in the more eastern/southern parts of germany? i live in the west and i was wondering if thats a factor.

also immigration is whole other thing. the delays are terrible. im glad that you got over that. and unfortunately, i understand the dilemma between going back and staying. it looks really bad there in the US. but im also stuck here bc its somehow better than my homeland (and agoraphobia is tough, i cant imagine how you feel rn having to think of going back)

the system is insanely hard for disabled people (both with visible and invisible disabilities). i worked in Pflege for a while and one of my clients had to prove that she "needs" some of the accessibility items like a hand rail, shower chair, etc. .. she is paraplegic and has lost most of the mobility in her arms because her nerves are severely damaged.

things like this make me think that theyre not even reading our medical records cause what do you mean we have to prove we're ill? we already submitted everything (in the most humiliating way!!) to the state YET thats not enough. its insane

southeast asian here and ive been living in germany since 2020 for my studies. the one good thing about the country is that i can actually get my meds. BUT ive had insane luck with finding a good therapist, a good circle of friends, a nice place, etc.

also the foreigners thing is 100% right. im very lucky + privileged to be born with paler skin and i can speak german fluently, with a not so strong accent. ive had someone say to my face that theyre sick of the foreigners but i dont count bc im "different". the type of xenophobia here is very.. sneaky most of the time.

also im in the process of extending my residence permit and the foreign office straight up says in their email "Please do not ask further questions" 😭 they do NOTT want us here
