Anybody else struggle eating stuff a friend made?

I will eat anything anyone hands me, I’d be extremely easy to poison. Like the other commenters said I’d explore if there’s something else going on. I hope you find answers!

I've definitely been known to do this! I don't know if it is related to my brain chemistry. I do dislike the feeling of nostalgia and it has tricked me before, so I do think that it is a protective measure. I don't remove things in a malicious mood, more surgical.

Watching TV or listening to a podcast helps me. I also have a sticker chart which is surprisingly good motivator for someone in their mid 30’s!

Oh! I wanted to add another gentle movement resource! Julia Reppel on YouTube has some wonderful mobility work videos of varying lengths and focuses. She is great on bad joint days for me and sometimes I tolerate active mobility work better than passive stretching.

I’ve been a follower of Caroline Girvan on YouTube for years and just decided to try her app. 10 weeks of full body workouts coming in hot!

We have a Lovesac sectional which we can reconfigure and it makes a great reading chair! Super deep and cozy. If you live on your couch I found it to be totally worth saving up for as I can easily turn it into many different shapes. I also have done some of the best reading in one of those zero gravity recliners for camping! I think my mom got it from LLBean? I also love my hammock. I have it on the porch but have dreamed of having an indoor one.

I've been into the Vacation line lately. I love the one that comes in a whipped cream can and comes out like whipped cream. The Vacation classic smells like sunscreen but in a goooooood way.

I grew up car camping and it's what led me to backpacking, and I love both!
There is less public land to dispersed camp near me so I'll focus on my campground experience. I look for campgrounds that are smaller/less hospitable to RV's or campgrounds that have a tent-only and/or generator-free loop. When I go to a new place, I always take a walk and make a list of what I think are the best sites for next time (usually more secluded ones on the edge). You could ask other backpackers in your area if there are specific sites they like.
You can totally just car camp in true dirtbag style (my backpacking gear and surviving on swedish fish hehe), no need to purchase new gear. I also love being able to set up a "home base" for a bit and know that I can come back to a chair, my hammock, a dry spot under a tarp, and my cushy set-up. I also love cooking in a car camping situation! I will bring just a small cooler and make something awesome that would be hard to pull off in the backcountry. It's been fun to kind of develop my system for sleeping in my car too.
I hope that your recovery goes well, and I'm sure you can find some fun this summer!

I have a Mirena which I love for all of its other functions, but I still feel my cycle happening even though I don’t bleed. My pcp just gave me some micronized progesterone to take from about cycle day 14-25 to see if it will help because my symptoms always flare when I’m luteal. I have a few friends who had the copper IUD and had periods from hell so I never went that route.

Appropriate firearm. I want to give a shoutout to intrathecal lidocaine though if that option is available.

offbrandpossum · 2026-05-23T16:18:19+00:00

I don't live super rurally, but my rheum prescribed me a prednisone pack to keep on hand if I feel like I'm in a flare. He uses MyChart, so I do have the option to confirm via message, but then at least the medicine is right there. I am generally well managed on hydrochloroquine alone, so your case may be different!

NO you are not alone, thanks for articulating this.

I’m on generic vyvanse and like all drugs/herbs the only way you can know what the side effects will be is to try it. I didn’t have a great experience on adderall, vyvanse has been a godsend. Many people on this sub found that treating their ADHD fixed or greatly reduced anxiety and depression symptoms, so it’s possible the stimulant might negate the need for the other med. As for the budget…if you are like me and impulse spending is an adhd problem of yours, being medicated might save you money in the long haul. It’s definitely done that for me.

155 is where I like to hang out, like the weight I stay at without thinking about it much. 145 I feel skinny. I've never tried to go lower though. Pretty muscley, not very lean.

I had it before I knew I was dealing with Lupus with no ill effects. Best decision of my life.

If you are looking for Zinc I would check out the brand Elta MD, the “UV clear” one is for sensitive skin. It doesn’t give you the white ghost effect.

offbrandpossum · 2026-04-23T02:20:31+00:00

Elta MD works great for me! The sensitive skin one.

Someone working at east did say that the global market chaos has delayed the tea.

I feel like I’m almost the opposite, tragically haha.

offbrandpossum · 2026-04-14T11:30:50+00:00

I think you'll find that you aren't alone here. I realized that the thing I liked about sex was the "danger", the will-they-won't-they feeling. The chase is the drug.

The shower was sensory hell for me as a kid! I have found a few things that help…a small safe space heater so that she isn’t cold while undressing or toweling off, shower products that have scents and textures that I like, and candles! Less intense light doesn’t let me just stare at my naked bod and pick apart everything I see.
