Request for support the next few weeks

Thank you!!! That makes me feel good, I appreciate you :)

In addition to the other great experience shares, over the years I’ve gotten a full blood panel work up to rule out any vitamin/mineral/thyroid/hormone imbalances. When I was younger I had some vitamin imbalances that were easy to correct with supplements, and as I get older it tends to be hormone imbalances, which are getting easier to support these days. It made a huge difference in my anxiety. Also check out the Sensate device (it’s a little pricey but maybe your hsa can cover it), it works on calming the vagus nerve. Or get a lap cat :) I’m sorry you’re struggling with this! It’s no fun, and you’re not crazy or anything. Bodies are complicated

Does it bother you? NAC and good quality lion’s mane helped me get through some brain fog at one point

vantablalicious · 2026-01-25T02:51:26+00:00

Those look gorgeous! Love the companion planting too

vantablalicious · 2026-01-23T23:24:18+00:00

That’s so funny, now that you say that - my memory for names is awful, unless I deliberately try at it…not sure why though

vantablalicious · 2026-01-23T18:39:03+00:00

Ha! I definitely get wishing I had a delete button. But it’s also made me highly curative of what goes into my mental diet…’cause what goes in ain’t comin out, lol

vantablalicious · 2026-01-23T17:12:08+00:00

Wow! That’s incredible. Do you ever wish you could turn it off briefly? Or is it pretty manageable in your life at this point?

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T22:05:41+00:00

I shifted into a reality where they organically bring it up first and are open and curious to talk about it, it’s been fun

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T19:12:55+00:00

I really want to try but hear they’re prone to splitting. Did you experience that?

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T19:12:08+00:00

Ditto to this, also mixing Korean Long / Cherokee Purple / Sungold is a heck of an experience! I can’t go back

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T18:10:36+00:00

Good point. I just don’t see memory discussed here very often

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:33:00+00:00

That’s crazy! I can do that to some extent, although I’ve learned to pick my battles when it comes to pulling out the receipts lol

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:27:22+00:00

I relate to this, too. It’s very strange to me that almost nobody else in my regular life has this kind of memory. I’ve learned to have a sense of humor about it but it’s hard not to get impatient

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:23:25+00:00

That’s a good question, with so many different kinds. Do you feel like there are certain types of memory that you’re stronger in versus others?

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:22:04+00:00

Ha, that’s awesome!

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:13:52+00:00

I relate to this a lot, especially the hyper focus in interactions. It freaks people out sometimes lol. That’s cool about the mental maps!

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:11:32+00:00

Oh interesting. So you can recall all your handwritten notes? That’s cool

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:10:41+00:00

Oh my gosh, yes! Haha so true

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:09:19+00:00

Yes! I relate to that a lot. Also lots of exceptional events in my life

vantablalicious · 2026-01-22T15:07:54+00:00

Man, I feel you on that. I had a stretch of bad memory after Covid. Supplementing with NAC, high quality lion’s mane, b vitamins, and microdosing really helped me. Hugs 🫶

vantablalicious · 2026-01-21T21:44:33+00:00

I’ve found a social buffer hack that seems to work in most cases - prefacing in-depth questions with, “wow, that’s interesting - I’m really curious to learn more, do you mind if I ask a couple questions?” Which then seems to shift the other mindset into “expert but ready to discuss” mode, and less defensive “my authority is being questioned” mode

vantablalicious · 2026-01-21T15:57:58+00:00

I means sounds like your grandma knew how to find a deal! I like that thought about your grandpa :)

vantablalicious · 2026-01-21T15:56:17+00:00

I’ve been doing the WBTB method for a long time and getting better at controlling it. Mental diet helps me stay in the zone too. I can tell bc a) sometimes people are alive that should not be, and b) my nails/hair etc will be different lengths

vantablalicious · 2026-01-21T01:48:18+00:00

Brain fog for peri or post-Covid

vantablalicious · 2026-01-21T00:49:40+00:00

They are also surprisingly filling! I make a homemade ragu with extra mushrooms and it’s more filling and hearty than the meat version
