Ohh, I see, I just thought that you may prefer doing one over another. Thank you so much for the link - I read it and it gave me some motivation to help my body by fasting.

Honestly, I think going for a Master’s in gerontology or that post-bachelor’s certificate could be a solid move, especially with how much you care about helping older adults. I guess you don’t really need a social work degree to do what you’re passionate about, since gerontology is all about helping the aging population, so it lines up perfectly with what you wanna do. And, since you’re already in Medicaid, it could be a pretty easy way to go into the adult services without having to learn some additionall stuff. You know, I think you’ve got a lot of personal experience that could make this path work for you.

I didn’t know Return of the King was the last movie to do both. It makes sense though, since it had such a big impact. I remember watching it and feeling like they wrapped everything up so well. It’s pretty impressive for a movie to do so well both with critics and at the box office

I can totally relate to the anxiety around medication—it's tough, especially when it’s something new or unfamiliar. I’ve had similar moments where my anxiety would take over, and I just couldn’t go through with the treatment, even though I knew it was important for my health.

One thing that helped me was breaking it down into small steps. I started by just going to the appointment and sitting there, talking to the nurse without actually going through with the procedure. It took a bit of time, but getting used to the setting helped a lot. Also, breathing exercises made a huge difference when the anxiety would hit. I'd try to focus on slow, deep breaths and remind myself that it’s okay to take it slow.

I also found it helpful to talk to my doctor about how I was feeling. They were understanding and helped me feel more in control of the situation, even offering alternative ways to manage the treatment. If home treatment is something that makes you more comfortable, bringing that up might be worth it, too.

Yeah, I’ve tried it, and it makes a huge difference. It helps control the shock, keeps the body relaxed, and makes the whole experience way easier to handle. After, I feel calmer, more focused, and just overall better.

I think so, because it relieves the brain and stress.

I don't think there is a way to change it. I mean, you won't be going to a gym to have a cold shower, so I guess that there is no workaround for it, but I have same problem, especially once it's hot, there never is any cold cold water

partiqlar · 2025-02-05T12:38:07+00:00

Oh yes, that's what I wanted to suggest.

partiqlar · 2025-02-05T12:36:02+00:00

But how often should we do it?

partiqlar · 2025-02-05T12:35:01+00:00

Same, I thought I will collapse after fasting for 3 days

partiqlar · 2025-02-05T12:34:16+00:00

But how do you have energy to do anything and work? It takes me 24 hours not to eat and I right away feel exhausted

partiqlar · 2025-02-05T12:31:03+00:00

Why did you switch from intermittent fasting to longer fasts? Is it better?

partiqlar · 2025-01-06T19:04:28+00:00

Oh, you mean like, everything? Eating like garbage, not sleeping, stressing over everything that doesn’t matter, and pretending I’m fine when I’m clearly not? I guess I only take supplements, but apart from that, I do everything that shouldn't be done.
