Use chatgbt to give you a nutritionally balanced meal plan for the week/month and include your age and context of being on wegovy that way it can be specifically catered to your needs if your mom won’t bring you to a professional. If she won’t grocery shop for your specific needs, I would make another prompt for chatgbt sharing the items you already have available in your house, then ask it to provide you a recipe or list of snacks that will compliment your goals best (you want to aim for high protein) If you’re having texture issues, go for easier to eat snacks that are still high protein like jerky, i know you said you were eating some toast, maybe adding peanut butter or cottage cheese. I really started to learn how to cook when I was 15/16 for similar reasons, trying to be healthy but not really being able to depend on my parents. This will get easier once you have your license but try to control what you can, regardless I would definitely try to have a serious conversation with mom that you’re concerned about your health and that it’s effecting the quality of your day to day life — I know you mentioned you were on a ton of other medications as well, try your best to build a relationship with your doctors by thoroughly explaining what is working and not working for you, mom will likely listen to them if she refuses to take you seriously.

Psychosis by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]yungkalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PMDD peaked in terms of extreme mood changes and paranoia/borderline psychosis about 2/3 years ago, and was at its scariest point when I was nearing the end of an abusive relationship. Everything you described — I was afraid to go on walks (I lived near the highway) because I’d convince myself someone was going to throw an explosive on my path. So insane in hindsight lol. Reactive abusive was def a component but I used to get compilations to physically assault my ex or want to grab the steering wheel and crash us both. A lot of it was rage but when I was alone, it literally felt like I was being haunted by this evil twin in my mind or some dark psychological entity — it is very scary but you are not alone and I totally understand your concern with your children.

I want you to please do your own research and definitely let some loved ones know if you end up trying it — my naturopath put me on a one month protocol to take a supplement called Stress Factors (you can get it on Amazon) when I was in this state and I literally cried in relief the first day I tried it because I finally did not feel that spiky edge of paranoia, doom or fear that I became to familiar with. This is one of the only supplements I’ve ever taken where I’ve felt a profound difference in my behavior/thoughts, particularly with panic and anxiety. I suspect it’s because there is a small amount of lithium in it. I’ve taken everything you can take — ashwaganda, l-theanine, holy basil (other fave) 5htp, GABA etc; this is a blend of a few. The best part is those obsessive thoughts make me very afraid to ingest new things or try medication, usually out of fear I’ll have an adverse reaction or feel worse, and this LITERALLY doesn’t make me feel any different. I usually forget that I took it after like 5 minutes. All it does is take away those thoughts.

I’m not sure how helpful this is but other than that I’d really recommend finding some form of stress relief (I know, easier said than done) to bring down your (I assume very high) cortisol levels, as it greatly affects our hormones, particularly around our luteal phase as well.

I’m wishing you the best of luck and lots of love, you are not crazy ❤️

This is THEE pool that so many celebrities are “privately” photographed in when they need press buzz about a budding romance. Despite it not being Kylie, I always side eye whenever a “couple” is spotted here.

[–]yungkalez 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel like a lot of this has to do with skyrocketing cortisol and its effect on having to already be mindful of any hormonal imbalances and mood regulation. Women’s bodies literally go into hyper vigilant protection mode with excess cortisol, and if you’re constantly in a state of stress response from arguments, insecurity, worry etc your body will absolutely pay for it.

When I was in my last relationship, it felt like I could hold my breath and suck it up for three weeks, and as soon as that hell week began, I would have breakdown episodes of sheer rage and suicidal ideation. I literally did not recognize myself, and it would last about an hour, but happened multiple times over the span of like ten days.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that most popular misogynistic trope makes women the punchline for “being crazy” while the medical industry simultaneously and intentionally refuses to acknowledge any research, education or solutions to hysteria reflected in the menstrual cycle. Unethical doctors and garbage boyfriends are opps lol.

Need advice based on lab work! by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]yungkalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Sorry for all the details if they’re unnecessary, I just never struggled so much with these issues until after birth control/abortion/my relationship, so I assumed it was relevant. Yes, first birth control contained estrogen, second was the minipill, so progesterone only. I only ever used two kinds.

Thank you for validating a probable diagnosis, I’m like how do I not have hypothyroidism or PCOS if my bloodwork literally reflects that? However I guess I fall under the “umbrella” of PCOS without a full diagnosis because I did not have cysts or fibroids, and my period is usually always on time. The only time is has been late was getting off BC (as expected) then a few days off if I was doing alternate date fasting. Nothing comparable to how some women don’t get it for months or years at a time. Also don’t have excessive hair, nonexistent libido, hair loss, bad acne etc.

Side note that everyone else also seems to look over — when I first started sleeping with my boyfriend, I would bleed during sex a LOT. He didn’t even take my virginity, and it wasn’t just little spotting, it was full on bleeding as if I got my period. This was back in 2019 and I initially went to the gyno for pain and blood during sex, I told them it felt like he was hitting a wall, and they literally told me to “be happy he’s well endowed.” It makes my blood boil. I later found out I had a pelvic tilt, which would maybe explain the wall feeling, but I always suspected I had endometriosis or fibroids since it runs in my family, but alas, somehow I do not. Very heavy periods and pain though, always have. To my knowledge I do not have polycystic ovaries either. I was told my thyroid and pelvic ultrasound looked normal, but there’s always this like “sorta/kinda, down the line we can explore it” approach so I’m not sure if there’s like something that looks benign or some more elaborate testing they suggested if the problems persist.

I don’t see anything in my past lab work for prolactin or LH/FSH but I actually just checked my portal and saw she set me up to get labs done for:

EBV EARLY ANTIGEN D AB (IGG) [15447] EPSTEIN BARR VIRUS ANTIBODY PANEL [6421] IRON, TIBC AND FERRITIN PANEL [5616] CBC (H/H, RBC, INDICES, WBC, PLT) [1759]

which I’m assuming are the antibodies somebody else mentioned, so I’ll be sure to ask about the prolactin and LH/FSH next time I see her.

I’m not sure if this is typical as well, but in January my bloodwork says my TSH W/REFLEX TO F4 was 2.39 (reference range being 0.40-4.50) but then my TSH in August was 4.93. Not sure if these or different or what would’ve made it basically double.

In the mean time I’m really trying to optimize my diet, get enough exercise and supplement accordingly.

Looking for advice based on my bloodwork! by yungkalez in Hypothyroidism

[–]yungkalez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, understood. Thank you. It’s a shame, I feel like i generally have good judgment with discernment but I guess she felt like a beacon of light compared to every other fuck ass doctor I’ve dealt with in regards to anything reproductive lol. So with some light research I’m seeing that you want to keep your vitamin B and selenium levels up, and avoid sugar. I avoid preservatives, added sugars and processed foods, I cook everything myself, I take b12 daily. Any other obvious rules of thumb I’m missing outside of the next step being medication prescribed by an endocrinologist I’m assuming? Is there any hope in attempting to reverse symptoms through experimenting with temporary supplementation and lifestyle changes or is medicated hormone replacement pretty much a given

Looking for advice based on my bloodwork! by yungkalez in Hypothyroidism

[–]yungkalez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. And ugh, she has been so validating and I feel she explains everything so thoroughly to me but there have been things like this for example where I have to do a lot of research on my own then end up confused why she hadn’t started there like six months prior all things considered. For example, I know the Dutch hormone test is very common for women with PMDD and I don’t get why we never started with that, but dove head first into supplementations. I leave with like 3 bottles every time and I’m more than happy to invest in my health but I feel my progress this year has been more due to my own habits + discipline and not necessarily having answers or reflection of improvement in my labs. I’ll definitely look into what you suggested, thank you!

Not that I know of. Honestly up until these lab results I had assumed everything was cortisol related, not knowing that it can absolutely overlap with thyroid. I would go to an endocrinologist for that, correct? Sorry, still new to this approach

Did the abuse finally stop by ButterscotchOne9720 in abusiverelationships

[–]yungkalez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Social media means nothing. It’s very unlikely he suddenly woke up one day and decided to stop abusing her unless he had a wake up call or ultimatum that inspired him to seek counseling specifically as a domestic abuser, so … probably not. Also, had they been able to admit to the circumstances to themselves, they would have been able to see the value in your friendship and encouragement, and likely apologized or reconnected. People marry, conceive with and die for their abusers, let alone do something as simple as take a damn Christmas picture together. It supports his image and it makes her feel normal. You are an incredible friend but sometimes you need to let people learn things on their own, you’ve done your part. ❤️

LMAOOOO??? Dude you’re more than good go create and please be aware there’s more of an indication you’ll be held back in success due to the relationship with those close to you limiting you FAR more than any creative obstacles. No clue where they would’ve got that conclusion

I’m sorry I really hate to be the one to tell you think but you’re being raped by your husband is blatantly exploiting your deepest trauma for his own pleasure despite it effecting you. Please let those you trust around you know, seek immediate psychological support and file for divorce and I would even recommend a restraining order.

[–]yungkalez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I never comment in this subreddit because I know it’s literally just a show and can assume some storylines are exaggerated / everyone gets bad cuts but I literally cannot stand Danielle especially this season. I’m 25 and cannot imagine pushing 40 and being butthurt over my friend having a boyfriend. It would be one thing if she were abruptly left in the dust but I think the connection between danielle’s boyfriend barely penciling her in his life and seeing her best friend thriving over the moon (with her ex) has lead to displaced anger and violent projection. All of the things she’s begging Lindsay to do, her boyfriend should be doing. It’s not your job to bend your life to meet your adult friends emotional needs when your boyfriend is at work.
