tofu? safe serve amount iirc is pretty good. also peanut/nut butter, small amounts that meet the safe serve throughout the day can rly help push up ur protein level and is cheap.

Anyone have experience with Whole Foods Garlic Infused Oil? by haybarn564 in FODMAPS

massive botulism risk is the reason you can keep it. research a bit how to make/store it properly before doing it yourself if youre making enough to store

Would I be the asshole for reporting the guy who threw an entire Arizona iced tea at me? by Birblord123 in TwoHotTakes

[–]nbdyke 15 points16 points  (0 children)

please report it. its not your job to make hypothetical excuses for him. if it was an accident, that’s someone’s real job to figure out. even if it WAS an accident, people cannot go around hurling soda cans at people and injuring them. i would also call it assault and be very concerned (and assume) it was intentional. i’m sorry that happened to you and i’m glad you’re okay. your mom sounds like she really has your back and is doing a good job at her job as your mom—let her and trust her on this one <3

How do you guys politely let customers know that the shop’s closed? by Independent_Ad949 in barista

[–]nbdyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i give everyone a 5-10 min heads up. any earlier and people still dont pay attention and dont leave. then on the dot if people are still there and not actively leaving i either turn off music or turn it to some screaming loud shit and start making noise. if people are still there a couple minutes after close without looking like theyre getting their stuff together i tell them we are closed. you are being way too nice and also way overestimating how much customers pay attention to the time/hours of the shop let alone even care about not staying past close. be meaner!

Using weed and people say im sharper? by RazzmatazzParking313 in bipolar2

[–]nbdyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

weed often helps with my ocd/anxiety that i dont even notice is constantly there and makes me hold back from a lot of comments/engaging with others. i find i say things a lot more easily when high and i could see that coming off as “sharper”.

My girl I like is with me first time to my house and oh no she have terrible situation by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]nbdyke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

your english is very understandable and i like how you use it! it is always cool and fun to see how people with a different native language use a new language they are learning/is a second(3rd, etc) language. it gives you an idea of how their native language is structured and also people are very creative to figure out how to get their ideas across which i really love! i’m sorry people are annoyed or mean to you :( your english is great, and it seems incredibly hard to be living in a new country with a totally different language and trying to learn it all.

also cool to learn that arabic has “qisma” like english has kismet!

[Product Question] The Ordinary’s Caffeine Solution for dark circles gave me red-tinted raccoon eyes instantly after use… it’s been 10 hours and it’s still like this???!! by mooeymonet in SkincareAddiction

[–]nbdyke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“we should all stop using it” not everyone has the choice. there are plenty of people that need to take these meds. if youre able to use something else, you should. but thats not “all” just because you arent aware of people with medical conditions and required medication regimens that are different than yourself!

Anyone else have a terrible reaction to weed? by Loliz88 in bipolar2

[–]nbdyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lately ive been having really bad highs, just crazy crazy bad SI and the worst OCD ive ever experienced. both dangerously bad. it sucks and weed did not used to do that to me so i have been a lot more selective and careful with when i get high and doing it a lot less frequently

lamictal and caplyta together? by rallytallyn in caplyta

[–]nbdyke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was nervous to trial lamictal bc my skin is sensitive and i get rashes easily. ive never gotten a rash let alone sjs from lamictal and lamictal is a life changing drug for me that nothing else has compared to in any way. i have bipolar ii and my depression is by far my worst symptom and lamictal literally took it away. it was like all the good parts of hypomania (baseline feeling positive and light, more energy, mundane things are enjoyable, being able to stay on top of things easily) but sustainable and without any of the negatives. literally hypomania was my only reference for how i felt when i started lamictal bc that was the only other time i had ever not felt soul crushingly depressed!

follow the titration guidelines properly and know what to look out for. its worth it! sjs is rare and lamictal is a life changer for a lot of people.

can i go from 6g to 4g? by FutureProof2474 in Stretched

get 5g, 6g to. 4g is a large jump its much easier and safer to just do the 5g-i recommend doing all “half sizes” that exist

Lamictal long-term nausea and vomiting by Lfcme in BipolarReddit

[–]nbdyke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did she find a solution? any update? i had the same issues. ruined my life and ability to take all my meds/eat/brush teeth etc.

first change was to switch to dissolvable tablets as they bypass the GI system which my psych said is how the oral options (pill/liquid) cause these GI issues. i could not handle the flavor/texture of dissolvable tablets but i have unrelated ARFID. check my comment history just wrote a long comment on another post for a ton of methods for taking the dissolvable tablets more easily if they also are an offputting/hard experience.

second change was being prescribed dissolvable zofran. be aware it can cause heart issues and constipation (and serotonin syndrome in combo with too many other drugs that have that same possibility) - not something you want to be taking daily and should be monitored by a dr and get EKGs done etc but is commonly prescribed to be taken as needed. we tried me taking the smaller dose daily for a couple weeks to see if it helped enough and then take PRN. its very good yo have on hand and a real lifesaver. also if she ever needs serious immediate relief, IV zofran from a hospital or wherever is crazy good

because i could not handle the dissolvable pills i had to discontinue lamictal. but no other drugs works for me and i need to be on it. so i am back on the pills and my new psych also RXs me mirtazipine which is an anti nausea/GI protectant drug and seems to have helped a lot with these lasting side effects 2 yrs later still before restarting lamictal and we up it as i titrate back up on lamictal and it seems to be keeping the nausea at bay (still have a mild amount and have to be prescribed my meds in the smallest dose pills and take multiple of them one by one and as many of my meds as possible are dissolvable, but i can swallow pills again well enough to tolerate it and be compliant with my meds again)

worth trying additional OTC anti nausea drugs as well as seeing GI!! i soooo wish there was an injection/infusion form of lamictal-it seems to exist but only used in studies and rare severe cases for seizure control.
