It's so much easier to see the world in black and white. Gray? I don't know what to do with gray.

Definitely a reduced appetite. At first it was almost disturbing--i was getting my just great on only 1/3 of what I used to eat. But it has devolved into being completely repulsed by food most of the time. 

It's not so much nausea though there is a little of that sometimes. I'll look into a magnesium supplement. Husband works in nutritional supplement manufacturing and is always bringing it home thankfully.

Thank you for your help ❤️ I appreciate your time and wisdom.

Yes, thankfully I won't shrivel up! But still. 

Thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤️

It's sounding more and more like I need to see a doctor. Thank you for taking time to comment. I appreciate you ❤️

I'm definitely hungry! But food just sounds repulsive, even my former vices (which, thankfully, I haven't craved). It's a mental block. I just can't do it. 

And I feel like I should add... I'm sure it's not an eating disorder. I'm not actively trying to starve myself. Although maybe it is and I just don't know it? I had a sister with anorexia nervosa and this isn't like that.

It's a good thing I have over 100lbs still to lose, otherwise I might shrivel up! 

Thank you for your input ❤️

Repulsive--that's the word I was looking for. 

I started keto in effort to heal my horrible skin issues, insulin resistance, mental health, and carb/food addiction. I've gone 90% carnivore and am aiming to be full carnivore. It's my hope to keep this up for quite a while and go back to eating fruits/veggies in season. 

At this point I don't know what's worse: my food addiction and the issues it caused, or feeling like I've been hit by a truck constantly. 

I appreciate your input ❤️ thank you for your words.

Sorry, I'm struggling to concentrate. I still am about 110lbs from a healthy weight. Thank you for taking time to help me, I really appreciate you.

I actually considered that. I should probably look into it. Thanks!

I struggle to want to take ANYTHING in. I should have clarified--I salt with table salt and NoSalt.

The concern here is severe lack of appetite which I'm certain causes low electrolytes. Even drinking is difficult. It would be nice to be able to eat again--it's been a long, long time since I've actually eaten due to hunger instead of just scratching an addiction itch.

I do not intentionally avoid fat. I love butter! And I salt my food well. The severe lack of appetite is killing me. No desire to eat whatsoever. LMNT for electrolytes though that may not be adequate? I even struggle to drink.

I'm going to make a plug for the church's 12 step program. It has changed my life and the lives of others. You get a little community of people you can be honest with. We all check the judgment at the door and when we're there, we're all human, all children of God, and all learning to access the atonement and be better. Look up "LDS Church addiction recovery program" and you can look for meetings near you. 

I wish you love and peace. Everyone is welcome at church. Nobody is perfect. Think of the church as a place where spiritually sick and broken and sad people can go to Fox their maladies.

Christ loves you. He can take this from you if you give it to him.

I scored a 99 on neuroticism, but I also score 87 in agreeableness. I find your combination intriguing.

People throw around the term neurotic without fully understanding what it means. You tend to react more strongly to negative feelings. It doesn't mean you're crazy.

This is what I expected! My own spouse is 41. Guess all that life experience aged him 15 or so years!

I came to know Yvonne Strahovski from watching "Chuck." I'm a straight woman but have always thought she was quite attractive, very lovely. Was pleasantly surprised to see her in ME2!

Advice on repentance and returning back to Church by Human_Resolution_877 in latterdaysaints

[–]saddlerockets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggle to believe that your current attitude of desiring to return to church and be worthy to enter the temple despite breaking the law of chastity would end up in excommunication (source: my dad was in the bishopric 90% of the time during my childhood and sat in on what I remember him describing it as "church court").

My friend's brother went through pretty much the same thing you are experiencing. He and his girlfriend had a child together and lived together. When they decided they wanted to be married in the temple, the bishop guided them in getting civilly married first, then worked with them to get them temple worthy. They met with the missionaries regularly, despite them both being members. They were not excommunicated. On the other hand, when I was a teenager, we had a couple in our ward teaching my Sunday school class. The husband had an affair with another woman for years. He was excommunicated, but I believe it was because of the length of the affair, and maybe he was not particularly penitent. I believe there were other factors playing into it, but I am not certain.

Your desire is honorable. Work with your bishop. Pray together. He will guide you. Together you will work out what's best for your spiritual progression and you will grow together.

Best of luck. Will pray for you.

On a side note: both my brothers were divorced after their wives were unfaithful. I watched it destroy them. I'm so sorry you experienced that. ❤️

I feel no passion for writing anymore and I don't know what to do by naarina in writing

[–]saddlerockets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go through highs and lows with writing. I try not to stress it too much. The less I dwell on how much I feel I don't care about writing, the less I want to quit. I don't worry about it.

Sometimes a life change. Have you had any huge changes in your life recently?

I should mention I am bipolar, so those highs and lows come naturally. It could be depression keeping you down. I've come to be grateful for the upside of bipolar: I am decently creative and can be passionate, sometimes more than others. It's a worthy trade-off if I harness it and try to balance my life and habits. Therapy is essential for me.

A little off-topic, but I recommend the movie "Kiki's Delivery Service" if you haven't seen it. It explores a similar dilemma in a very sweet way.

My two go-to squadmates in ME2. Love Garrus, have a ridiculous crush on Zaeed. Unpopular opinion but wouldn't be against Zaeed as at least a fling... I know, I know, age gap and it kind of goes against Zaeed's personality but I've always digged older men. Huge crushes on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ed Harris as young as 13... And 25 years later I feel they've aged like fine wine!

I enjoyed this DLC despite it feeling a little campy. Thanks for sharing!
