For those of you have gone through periods in your life where nothing you do mitigates stress, you feel like you’re only surviving and life is dull, how did you pull yourselves out? Did any change you made make a bigger effect than the others?

Title is most of the story, I sweat a lot at work and even with eating carbs with salt to taste, putting down nearly a gallon of 1 or 2% a day with OJ, I still experience cramping issues. I drink magnesium carbonate 1-2 times a week and feel i intake a lot of electrolytes. Any ideas?

Recently I’ve noticed a lot of whole food particles in my shits. Not really ever constipated, occasionally diarrhea but not too often. Pretty fowl smell tho even for shit. Am I not chewing my food enough? I have a bad habit of eating quickly. Or is there a stomach acid issue or something else?

Does anyone have experience with the OTC lithium? Any positives or negatives? The ammonia reduction seems like it might be worth trying.

Gf has what appears to be a bartholin cyst. Very painful and she’s worried it will get worse. Has tried progest and aspirin. Any other suggestions for treatment?

@cs3000 no heart problems, circulation isn’t great and limbs fall asleep when I sit down to poop or lay on them weird. Dreams happen but rarely are good. Sometimes they aren’t even nightmares they’re just weird, cryptic and evoke a sense of general confusion. Been off of weed for good for 6 months, before that I had taken several month breaks but also had t completely quit it. I’m done with it now it doesn’t even make me feel euphoric, just paranoid and weak

@BioEclectic I agree. Just wish it wasn’t in such a negative way.

@BioEclectic nope. No finasteride. Hair shedding is an issue tho. Just know enough now to stay away from the stuff.

I have spent the last several years of my life peating, mostly in an attempt to gain back what I have lost. For some context, even before Covid I wasn’t always in the best spot. I had some pretty severe childhood trauma, health issues and misguidance. Despite all of that, I managed to become somewhat successful on paper, tho never in my own mind. When covid rolled around I get heavy on the weed. Essentially frying my brain for 8 months before one day I pretty much had a panic attack where I passed out. Ever since then I feel like the curiosity and sense of adventure I had at my healthiest points has just vanished in to thin air. before Covid I had a girlfriend who broke my heart into thinking I’d never love someone the way I loved her again. I’ve dated and told girls I love them but I can’t say it with the conviction I told it to her. I’m dating a girl now who is awesome and pretty much all I could ask for but I just feel nothing and I know it’s all my fault. I’ve thrown all of the supplements at it. I lack confidence and discipline. I’m angry and joyless. The things that brought me purpose and happiness are just things I do now. There’s so reaction. I hardly even get angry at things unless I know I’m supposed to. True joy and happiness are these delaying concepts that I can only imagine how I would feel if I were to feel those things. I know how I’m supposed to feel about things so I act like how I think I would if I actually felt that way as to not look like a robot. I’m not even depressed. Just apathetic about everything. And I hate that, because that’s not who I am. I’ve had incredible experiences on LSD but even micro doses just seem to make me dissociate. I’m just lost. This was more of a vent but if anyone has gone through this before and came out the other side I’m all ears. I’d like to experience life again before I get put in the ground some day.
