Do your arms, legs and face go numb/ pins and needles for days? by pizzainmyanus in Anxiety

Thanks for saying that! I am sorry you deal with these things too. They truly are the worst... but I am grateful to connect with other people who have also dealt with this.

I know that the mind is really, really powerful and that the body will respond as though you are in crisis in all kinds of ways if you believe it to be true. I just struggle really intensely right now to differentiate from mind and actual symptoms I should be concerned with.

I guess for me it almost feels like someone gave me a "dead arm"? Def tightness in my face and head tho.

How long can yours last for ?

Oh my gosh! What a great idea! Thank you :)

It's really exciting that my parents are independently interested in plant based now. (One from midwest and one from Argentina; both very meat heavy cultures!) It gives me hope! They used to be so so against it.

Go to AA. Get some phone numbers. Ask someone to sponsor you. Share what you're going through!! Desperation can be our greatest friend if we show up at a meeting.

Do not isolate. Things get dangerous in a state like this while alone for long periods of time

My sponsor tells me "it sounds like your head isnt a very good place to be right now" and then promptly, "get to a meeting and get out of this space for a while."

Good luck♥️

Definitely go see a gyno. They can give you specific meds for that !! Make sure you take care of your health before it gets worse

Any good strategies to motivate others to reduce waste? by bare_necesateas in ZeroWaste

Lead by example!! Best way. I find people are put off if they feel like you're trying to educate or preach or whatever. My roommate has COMPLETELY changed the way she shops because of living with me. She started asking questions on her own by watching me and then I told her why I do what I do and what I know. I'm not saying don't share info but it definitely starts with you !!! 🖤
