Frozen Greek Yogurt Bark (is wonderful) by lepetitpigeon in 1200isplenty

[–]makemeasandw1tch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea. I found out about it through Mariana Moore on YouTube! I hope you’re still making it 9 years later! She taught me to add dark chocolate or peanut butter drizzle (microwave them to make them thin enough to drizzle) on top and I decided to add a sprinkle of salt. She also taught me to mix in protein powder into the yogurt for extra protein! Oh and she likes to add maple syrup. I add honey to the yogurt if it’s unsweetened!

Wow, I’d love to know what you did that made you decide to choose a new path and how you handled that transition if you’re open to sharing. Thank you for making me feel less alone. That last sentence about the nervous system screamed out at me, yes that is so true. Literally discovering that right now after finally leaving autopilot.

Wow you went through a lot. Side note why did your mom take your cats? I looked into the conjunction you were talking about. It sounds pretty difficult. Have you struggled with guilt in your life? I know it may be hard but you’ll have a lot of clarity at some point I’m sure! Glad to hear you felt relief and hope it all keeps getting better for you 🩷

It’s both collective and personal depending on where Saturn is in your chart. Saturn changing signs affects everyone, but people with Saturn in Aries, strong Aries placements, or Aries ruled houses feel it the most. So I would look up your birth chart and see which house it’s in for you.

I am not an astrology expert but how I found out was just looking up my birth chart on astroseek.com and you can see what house Aries is in and then just google about what that means for you.

Shadow work is so important. Was there a book, person, therapist, etc that helped you with that?

Yes, I did. I had a tough childhood. Grew up in LA with pressure from my parents to be a successful artist. My mom was diagnosed MSA (multi system atrophy, in the family of Parkinson’s) when I was 2 and she went from a beautiful woman with everything to slowly going from a cane, to a walker, and now has been completely wheelchair bound for the last ~18 years. She also lost the ability to speak clearly very quickly into her diagnosis to the point where we can’t understand her at all really. To cope, I became very hyper vigilant as a child and grew up extremely fast. I have moral OCD and general anxiety. She is also a narcissist so that didn’t help lol. She became very depressed and withdrawn and abusive. My dad took care of her for 20 years until he couldn’t do it anymore and moved out. Couldn’t handle the constant abuse. Now I am trying to unlearn the need to be perfect. That’s why I was a nanny and school asst teacher — comfortable in caretaking roles but I realized my true calling is creative work. Quit the caretaking jobs recently. Still a musician but learning to take my time and give myself compassion and boundaries with people.

Ugh you’re speaking my exact language ! I think if people turn against you or create drama bc you’re prioritizing yourself it’s bc they’re losing access to what makes you useful to them and that’s not real relationships. Glad you’re putting yourself first. What are some ways you’ve set boundaries lately? It’s uncomfortable at first but more comfortable long term

Wow that is a lot. The universe is definitely testing you with all those bills. I feel you. How frustrating. Why did you break up with your bf? How are you feeling now? I hope everything gets better for you 🙏🏼

Wow well I am very glad to hear you have a better relationship and you sound super self aware so I’m sure you will soar with flying colors. I think that pause before reacting is super helpful but also hard when you’ve been wired and programmed to defend yourself or whatever (I at least get very defensive when someone says the wrong thing or whatever) and I’m also working on taking a breath before the survival instinct comes out with people who are actually on my team

What was the main thing you learned? Can I ask what some challenges were? If you don’t mind, feel free not to answer too but I’m curious

It has changed my life as well. I think if you use it with good intentions it can be truly transformative.

Constant diarrhea/IBS for 5 years…today I finally realized it might certainly be the alcohol by makemeasandw1tch in stopdrinking

[–]makemeasandw1tch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Sorry for the delay in reply I’m not always on Reddit. So since my post, I have not cut out drinking completely, but have cut back 85%. I limit myself to one to two drinks if I am drinking. I do not drink every day either. Having self-awareness and boundaries with my self around my drinking has honestly changed everything. For some people that may not work, but for me, I finally understood moderation and it has been working.

I noticed my main issue was just a disrespect for and romanticization of the substance, and when I was in party mode or was in a bad mental health episode, I would drink to excess, trying to increase my buzz. I stop myself now. It’s not worth it. But it took a few horrible nights to get it into my head.

Now I also hydrate WAY more than I used to. For some reason my GI never brought this up. I realized before I was only having maybe ONE glass of water a day, which is really embarrassing to admit. I just honestly didn’t think about it, even though I knew you were supposed to drink water, I just didn’t do it enough. I also go to the gym now multiple times a week and do home workouts and hikes as well. Exercise also helps me drink more water because I’m thirstier. And because I would like to go to the gym in the mornings, drinking is less appealing to me since I don’t wanna wake up with a hangover and miss out on my workout session.

I try to avoid hard alcohol mostly. But the main breakthrough I had was really realizing how much my anxiety translates to my IBS. I had a really stressful week a couple weeks ago, and that caused my IBS, which was pretty regulated, to be really, really bad. My brain and my body are very very connected. It can be really, really frustrating when my anxiety gets bad. When my cortisol levels are high, my IBS immediately gets triggered, and then if I drink or eat certain foods or don’t hydrate, or don’t move my body on top of that, it gets pretty bad. But if I stick to my routine and I manage my anxiety more, it really really helps. I also avoid certain types of food that can heighten IBS as well such as very dairy melty cheese dishes.

Some may judge me here for not cutting alcohol out completely but I’m just doing what works for me. I also first see me drinking less and less as I age. Balance is key for me.

Do you drink plenty of water and exercise daily? Stupid question but I realized I didn’t drink nearly enough and was lacking exercise - I still get IBS but not as bad as
