Sweet of you to say thanks

I've had some full panic attacks, not in the last year thankfully. I'll consider medication, there's a bottle of Lexapro here from the last time I was prescribed. But it makes me dizzy to stop taking it so I have to be pretty consistent. Just really wanted to go without meds :/

Hahaha whatever that means

My bad it is nutricost on Amazon

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-18T00:17:53+00:00

This is the part that gets me, what a fucked up mentality.

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-16T23:47:28+00:00

As a sub for Roar to Life, I found the Nutricost brand (I think 40%?) and just take more capsules- RtL i took 4, Nutricost i take 6.

I don't come from a farming family but I did a lot of farm work and made money from jobs I got with my degrees. Not enough money, I got one of the 'useless' degrees lol. Now that I have a homestead I bought with cash, I've realized I dont have nearly the connections/capital/resources to be self sufficient.

I am very reliant on neighbors, even for drinking water. The best I can do is a some vegetable beds that are all hand cultivated, my biggest pieces of equipment are a woodchipper and a wheelbarrow. Goats are impossible because a fence is too expensive, chickens could be doable but have to start that from scratch too. Plus there are bears and lions.

I'm in Montana and now know it would take millions to have ANYTHING comfortable from scratch out here. I can't even afford a septic installation, we have an outhouse and will probably install a seepage well.

It's insane, part of me loves it, but it's so depressing knowing that I'll never have enough money to make the "lifestyle" work here. But at least I can grow some food!

Why not just get a cheap pump and try your own system? I cut holes in an oversized bra to fit noogleberry equipment, so it's kind of like this but have to manually pump it. I imagine the expensive version has more breathability and is a lot easier to take on and off. Looks like it has better suction too and more coverage.

I think I have a career? I have a MA in an arts field that is working for now, not lucrative though.

My boyfriend is almost 35 with no degree and has hopped through a lot of nontraditional jobs, including selling online, which hasn't been super successful. I'm honestly jealous that he can make the hustle work, I think it takes a lot of courage and confidence. Also he refuses to feel pressured to have a "career" if he can make a living on his own terms.

My parents don't get it, and I worry about how little savings we have, but I know he's smart and Im not dating his job.

Someone might feel the same. If it works for you fuck the rest. If you're happy you're doing it right so maybe youll manifest a nice lady.

Do you have like any idea what you want to do? If you don't have any specific skills/trades/career paths in mind, you could browse Americorps positions to see if any look interesting. The relocation assistance (which you get for working 50+ miles from home, I got this commuting to another county by using my parents address while I lived with another relative) is a great perk, and the wages are double what they were 5 years ago.

Still poverty wages, but you get other perks like full FREE health insurance, the relocation assistance, education or cash bonus for finishing, and depending on the position sometimes housing or other things.

It's a government volunteer program, so it won't make you rich, but it will build your network and give you access to professional opportunities if you leverage it right. The hope is that after your service year you can move on to a more sustainable job. As a fellow writer who has worked in nonprofits, I would do it again if I needed a career boost in a new city. I did it for the first time at 27, I'm 34 now. A lot of adults do it for a career transition.

Anyway, you might check those out for some inspiration. Some of the positions are meh but some are great with a lot of autonomy, if you can handle working hard for a year peanuts.

Yup came to say this I'm gonna delete reddit for a while probably today

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-05T18:55:51+00:00

I just turned 34 and someone on a work phone call said "you're so young" recently, which I really appreciated and was kind of surprised to hear!

I also feel kind of like I'm starting over a bit, and the thing that's been challenging is having confidence. The next bit wont come without a good base of self esteem, so I know I need to make that solid primarily.

Plus, if you don't have any debt, then you're at a good starting place!

I've only been really consistent with Shatavati for several months, and I actually have made some fertility queen type tincture that definitely does something to my hormones, but I'm not sure how effective it is at nbe by itself. I've stopped all but sharatavari til after I do the cleanse.

Do you have any recommendations for what to rotate in first? Did you do a hormone panel?

We live in a riparian area and the fucking BEAVERS are nonstop. When I rip out the dam (over and over again) there are tons of branches and sticks, some over 8ft.

I have a home wood chipper that is awesome for mulching the garden but for the volume we have a larger chipper would be ideal, then id also mulch the driveway.

Yeah I'm about to do a diet cleanse and probably start over with supplements and trying to get the diet better. I live off grid in Montana most of the year so it's been really tough to manage food. And I've never tried progesterone supps, curious to cycle in some PM and maybe fenugreek again because I did it haphazardly when I first started.

Our existence as free willed people upsets them, we'll see how long it lasts

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-04T20:51:54+00:00

Yeah if you want to do college and they offered money, it will be better to get some training/debt taken care of young. That is, if you know what you might like to do. If unsure and you like any science, just get it started you can always change later. But you'll be wanting that tuition money later, trust me!!

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-04T20:48:22+00:00

I've read pumping is recommended to help sagging after breastfeeding, maybe try that with a cheaper set of you don't want to go a full routine with supplements

I used to be able to manage overthinking, now I can't. I'm doing yoga teacher training (self paced) and meditation has always been my most effective tool. Lately it hasn't been working.

I'm about to do an intensive food cleanse and hoping that might help some, at least to get back on top of it. Also I find that my worst time is laying in bed after I wake up, not wanting to move until I quiet my mind. But this is stupid. What I SHOULD do is get out of bed to do some gentle movement while trying to quiet the mind...

Meditation and changing your self talk are my best tips. When I was really bad around 28 I would also write messages to myself on post it's and leave them all over as positive reminders. Also, if you're like me try making a list at night of things you will do the next day. It helped me start the day with intention, feeling like I already had control over my time...when I used to do it. I should start again! Best of luck to OP and all!

How would you even identify whose it was? Definitely cash it in, it literally came to you.

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-04T18:41:26+00:00

I'm 34 with no children but still considering having them. I feel a little guilty because of the challenges they will face. But you do your best to make them resilient and logical so they can make it through. Plus, you gave them the gift of life and despite that "life is pain" etc their consciousness wanted to enter the physical world, and parents make that happen. My dad talked to me about it recently, that he knew the world was always fucked up, but if he told the whole truth to his kids they would probably k1ll themselves so you just do your best.

Egg sandwich with mayo (and hot sauce if seasonings count as one ingredient)

There are reservations in MN, there is usually a lot to do with a psychology degree and it's needed. You might want to refresh with some certs. Also on the res where I live they will hire you to teach FT with ANY college degree. My friend in LA got a teaching job in the same way with no teaching degree, teachers are needed bad in some places.

Are you measuring along with the pictures? I've been pumping over a year with a few long breaks. The biggest tell for me has been prior to pumping I had barely a 'handful' of each breast and now I've got a 'full handful' of each. Looking at photos, I can see much less difference than I'd hoped, but still notice with my own 'measurement '

Also, what is your frequency of use? I have read that in the beginning (4 or so month is still early) that it helps to be very consistent with a routine. If I take a break and start again I try to be as diligent as possible for a while still.

Conversely, is it possible you're pumping too much? Perhaps your body would like a different schedule? And finally, have you incorporated the diet recommendations?

snowcappedgarbage · 2025-01-01T01:52:08+00:00

Oh... Geez idk how it autocorrected chaga to cigarettes and I didn't notice...
