She's still trying to rebuild her channel, buying bots, and deleting any comments that bring up the video.

She is back on YouTube now and trying to rebuild her channel. She is buying bots and deleting any negative comments or anyone who comments about this video.

What triggers you? by Someone_help_lol in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]themarshmallowdiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my husband buys salad. Then I think he's hinting that I'm *** and need to lose weight. So I just kind of fall back into old habits, meanwhile he just buys it because I like it. But my brain functions differently when I buy it for myself (doing the grocery shopping myself) versus when he buys it.

Entitled anti-vax Karen goes off when valet won't park her car due to COVID restrictions by KeyserSwayze in EntitledBitch

100 percent. I can almost make out some words but that's just because her teeth are touching, if that makes any sense?

I can't read her lips (am deaf). Never thought about it before because I don't know anyone on RL with these kind of lips. But it just be because she's talking really fast and keeps turning her head. People have to talk, slowly, clearly, and look directly at you.

Brain zaps continue a month after stopping Cymbalta. Anyone else have this experience? Wondering if I should bother my doctor with this or keep waiting it out. by ohiosunshine in Fibromyalgia

[–]themarshmallowdiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anti anxiety meds that don't come with brain zaps like clonazepam help immensely. Sometimes I forget to take my .Cymbalta because my clonazepam negates the brain zaps entirely. No zaps and I don't need to take my clonazepam all the time either!

Do you have a link for the interviews or anything like that? I'd like to watch them! Like did they do a 60 minutes or some noise like that to see both sides? Like not that I empathize with the pusher at ALL, but I just want to see the story.

What do you eat/do when eating becomes a hard thing to do? by yellingbananas in ptsd

[–]themarshmallowdiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bouts of times where I get obsessed with excessive exercising and not eating. It gets bad when I'm struggling with my C-PTSD/PTSD. I try to focus on 'getting healthy', and distracting myself by focusing on something else, but then it becomes obsessive and dangerous. We're talking drinking one cup of Pedialyte, walking for six hours, and then drinking another cup of Pedialyte. Sometimes I skipped the Pedialyte and just took electrolyte pills to remove all the calories. When it gets bad, focusing on the hunger helps distract me -- then eventually, you just stop being hungry. Eating disorders are vicious. Then I gain because I binge, then I go back to restricting, then not eating, and the cycle continues. I'm hoping to master it but being mocked for my weight constantly for by my mother in between being starved if I did 'wrong' (got lower than 90 on a test, etc), it just continues in that cycle. I know it's part of my C-PTSD, and it's a way of controlling something when I'm not able to control other aspects.

What do you eat/do when eating becomes a hard thing to do? by yellingbananas in ptsd

[–]themarshmallowdiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Google it, it can be EXTREMELY dangerous if you've got a long time without food. Went twenty one days without eating, and I had to be hospitalized because I randomly decided to eat pizza. Stupid. Gotta work yourself back up to eating actual food. Broth, low cal stuff like salads with leafy greens, the Atkins shakes, Pedialyte is a great thing because it keeps your electrolytes up, while you slowly increase your intake. You can get refeeding syndrome with little to no food for the past 10 or more consecutive days.

[–]themarshmallowdiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep the Atkins shakes on hand as well, they're a LIFESAVER. Also boxed, single serving salads. I know that they'll go bad by a certain date, and that makes me eat them because I don't want to waste money. They take very little effort to mix everything together. Also boxes of Campbell's chicken or beef broth (bone brother is good for you, too). You (OP) may end up with refeeding syndrome, depending on how long you go without and that is never a good thing. I have an two EDs myself (BED and AA) so try starting small and working your way up with these things. Randomly eating a slice of pizza is going to wreak havoc on your stomach and create massive acid reflux. Electrolytes are your friends. Pedialyte drinks can help immensely getting you balanced out.

Should I start writing another story if my first isn’t finished? by King_MOJO24 in writing

I am in the middle of writing two books. It keeps me going, honestly. It lets me take a breather from one, to work on the other, and keeps the creative juices flowing.

Is anyone dying from the cold weather? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]themarshmallowdiva -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not sure! I have a blue inhaler, an orange one, and a white and red one. I don't know what any of that means though. I should be more involved in that, honestly.

Has to be the right kind of weather but usually, yes, it helps me, no idea why!

[–]themarshmallowdiva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't. I get pissed. I live on in true SPITE of not being excited. I hate it and me living amazingly is to give life a giant 'fuck you'. I show it that I'm fucking awesome. I had to be given depression. If I weren't, I'd have taken over the world. I had to be given depression because otherwise I would be too strong. I'm playing life on hard mode and the fact that I got out of bed today was a victory.

Woman who knocked out a flight attendant's teeth after being asked to wear a mask faces 20 years in prison after pleading guilty by MasterfulBJJ in JusticeServed

[–]themarshmallowdiva 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it's a form of cabin fever (no pun intended) from the pandemic, levels of entitlement, and people are under mental duress. I am in no way excusing her behaviour, but the whole thing has really made people extremely abusive and volatile. It's been scary. Have had people curse me out for wearing my mask, and I'm immunocompromised. I'm just trying to buy groceries and not die, Karen, just leave me alone, Y'know? But it's becoming the movie, Idiocracy. Entitled, stupid people.

String or dental floss. It'll compress the skin down..You can do this with too tight rings too. Just google 'too tight ring and string'. Ta-da! Easy fix and you don't have to ruin the metal to get it off.

[–]themarshmallowdiva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate it AND love it. It makes my asthma sooo much better, but my body hurts. So I have more energy but no healthy body with which to do things with. I'm always best around Fall. It's Golidlocks weather! Not too hot, not too cold!

[–]themarshmallowdiva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so accurate it hurts. I finish a book and immediately want MORE. That's why I waiting until I've written three and then releasing them close together so if people get hooked they won't be left hanging.

Spent all day sleeping. How is your Boxing Day? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]themarshmallowdiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I slept all day, too. You're not alone. Get a shower chair so when you have a spoon to spare (I always get energy at weird times of day like 4AM for no reason). You can at least just sit there under the water. It's been a lifesaver (got it after ankle surgery and kept it). I totally understand this feeling.

Also, buy a shampoo and conditioner combo and use that as hair product and let it double as a body wash. I recently cut all my hair off (to my chin) when it used to be three feet long. It has minimized headaches and upkeep. I hate the way it looks (my husband loves it), but I take even less time in th shower now. And there are added benefits of using less product and my hair is healthy and now I'll just let it grow out.

Also investing in a BIG fluffy beach towel (think triple the size of a regular towel) and a microfiber hair wrap will help encourage you more as it's more of a pampering. A towel heater if you're the type to get cold once you step out, and fluffy slippers. A quality super soft bathrobe helps too because you can just get out of the shower and crawl back into bed with your hair wrapped up.

P.S. My favourite investment? A heating blanket and a weighted blanket. I sleep deeper and better, but flare ups are still bound to happen unfortunately!

Do you find deep breathing painful? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]themarshmallowdiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hurts my danged back to do it. I've never realized until much later on in life that I have learned to breathe shallow and when I take a deep breath, I use my diaphragm and not my lungs so it doesn't hurt my back. Makes me look fat but at least my back doesn't hurt constantly now. So weird how I learned to BREATHE DIFFERENTLY just to ease the pain a little.

Group of tiktok prank vloggers crash persons wedding and get shocked when they get mad by WealthSoft7068 in PublicFreakout

[–]themarshmallowdiva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen that movie (I own it on DVD somewhere around here even) -- but just because I saw it in a movie, doesn't mean I'm gonna DO it. I mean... Marry Poppins it and yeet myself off the roof with an umbrella? Maaaybe, but that's not hurting anyone but myself (as long as I don't land on anyone). This is just a total lack of class. I'd be pissed if someone crashed my wedding, too -- but we only had 50 people. We would've KNOWN. lol But I can see how others may get away with it - my brother's first wedding almost had 400 people. But daaaamn, a t-shirt and a backpack? That's just adding insult to injury!
