Omg yis pls be my qpp homemaker I'll financially support the two of us and give you head pats
The price increases have hit us so hard that I buy vegetables to take home withe when I visit my bf in Switzerland. A notoriously expensive country. mad.
I'm in Austria and the best deal I can get is 2 for 2€ :(
Is this Germany? Why are they so fucking cheap?
Your question was a good one, but still rude. You're more likely to get a satisfying answer if you don't pose the premise that the person you're replying to must be dumb if they're not rich.
I was denied treatment for ADHD too, because I have a bachelor's! Old psych said even a high school diploma is impossible for ADHD folks. Glad I was able to switch to a new psych who diagnosed me at 27.
Ok so I have autoimmune hyperthyroidism. This, among other things, gives me low blood pressure and a high heart rate. By 'refusing to treat me' I mostly mean that doctors have immediately jumped to the conclusion that my ADHD meds are the one and only cause, refusing further tests. Saying I need to go off the meds and if the symptoms persist I should come back. Even though I know and told them that I've had these symptoms for years, and have only been on these meds for half a year. This shows up in my file. I've also had a GP refuse to renew my prescription because he, too, thought I couldnt possibly have adhd since I'm educated and employed. I've also repeatedly felt like doctors think I'm just drug seeking instead of in actual need of these meds. Like, for example, being told that it's irresponsible that I take them by a different GP.
Ooooh I thanks for clarifying!
Your personal experience does not make universal truth. Many people have highly fluctuating hormones and digestion. It's great that it works for you, but it won't work for everyone. There's a myriad of invisible diseases that can affect this. And that's not even counting that some people don't have the resources to even think of anything outside work, eat whatever is accessible, sleep, repeat.
Even if personal experience was universal: based on MY experience, nobody should be able to figure out how much to eat, even with professional help.
I desperately wanted to gain weight for over a decade. I started counting calories. The amount I was supposed to be consuming to safely gain would make me gain a few kilos over a few months and then, keeping the same amount since I wasn't at my goal yet, would make me lose them again. The rates of gaining and losing would vary wildly, too. After reaching my goal and eating for what was supposed to be maintenance, I suddenly lost 5 kg in less than a month. And I'm seeing a specialist for hormone tests once a month. Imagine how bad it would be if I couldn't.
Yes, CICO works, since energy is a conserved quantity. That much is very true. What isn't true at all is that CICO is simple.
It takes time and energy to figure out how many calories you're ingesting. And that's the simple part. Knowing how many calories you're actually absorbing and how many you're actually burning takes professional help. And finally, those things are highly volatile and change a lot throughout your life, depending on a plethora of factors.
Many people don't have the resources to access that stuff, starting with enough free time.
Thank you, I genuinely appreciate that you let me know!
Guess I'm a loser for caring that doctors have refused to treat me unless I go off the ADHD meds then
Glad it works for you. No reason to shame others because different things work for them.
This is what I meant. My native language tends to have much longer sentences than English, making my sentence structure more complex than what most are used to. So this is definitely partly on me.
Literally always keeping my nails painted is the only thing that's helped. I bit my nails from toddlerhood into my late 20s, with or without meds. I didn't want to paint my nails at first because I'm not f but finally said fuck it, and I'm not looking back.
That sounds rough! Glad it's better now. I'm perfectly fine with sour stuff too, except on a completely empty stomach. Not quite cooked garlic has made me throw up before though.
Ah ok, thanks for the tip!
Except that imagining fields (not forces, if I'm thinking of the same illustrations as you) as lines is very very far from how deep it goes. Throughout physics education, most ppl go through several iterations of thinking you finally understand magnetism, then realizing you really fucking don't, as it's more complicated than you were taught previously.
