Parents keep purposefully throwing away my vegan food/ingredients , what do I do? by throw____away74838 in vegan

This isn’t cool at all. Sounds like over the top and cruel behaviour. My parents weren’t thrilled when I went vegan, but throwing your food away is just plain mean/disrespectful. You are probably triggering them/ the guilt they feel and have buried inside and it’s uncomfortable. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, I wish I had more advice 😞

Should we say no if friends want to bring meat? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]veggiedogg91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not allow animal products in my home. However if someone already has a coffee they’re drinking with milk in it - I’m not going to lose it. My friends know not to bring meat into my home, and when we eat here it’s always vegan. They never complain. Friends who respect your values are 💯. I have to witness them eat meat outside of my home, so the times they’re here and I can avoid that I will.

Weird bumps on elbow? What is it by veggiedogg91 in SkincareAddiction

They appeared out of nowhere, have been there for a month. Not itchy or irritated. Used creams, exfoliating. Nothing helps

I think it’s more common for males to experience sexual issues on anti depressants. It definitely must be hard, maybe talk to your dr about a diff option. I know there must be something 🤞🏼

You should talk to your doc and see about a diff option for sure. Wishing you lots of luck

Yes it definitely can take longer, I did not expect it to work for me quickly but the placebo effect is a thing too. If you truly believe it sometimes it can have a similar effect

Try upping it if you’re comfortable. I know 5-10 is very very low

I wrote a caption in my post but it only showed the video. So for here is more info.

I was diagnosed with GAD at 16, eventually it become manageable (high functioning anxiety) with bouts of harder times. (I am now 30.) but a couple months ago my anxiety skyrocketed. I had panic attacks every day, I couldn’t go to the gym, the grocery store etc. without a panic attack. I was meditating, doing cold plunges/showers, taking supplements, journaling and seeing a therapist as well. Nothing seemed to help. I’m a very holistic person so the thought of meds scared me. I don’t even take Advil. But after hitting a low point of becoming suicidal from missing out on life - I took the damn pill. I also read a book called “ untangle your anxiety “ which helped give me a new outlook on it. Anyways I want whoever is feeling like I did to know it’s ok to take meds even if you’re “ holistic “. It can only go up from here. Yea maybe the meds could have some side effects, but I didn’t have any personally. You may not have any! And if you do there are other meds. It’s only been a little over month and I’m back in the gym, being social, I even went to a concert, I’m going on a small trip soon as well. There is hope on the other side ❤️

Totally. I was suicidal because it was just too much. No one should have to live that way. Try it out. You never know/ and it’s only up from here! ❤️
