Me pre energy drink: everything is awful and terrible and bad I wanna rot in bed

Me after energy drink: omg I fucking love answering emails, send me another one, yeaaahh, everything is good I feel so normal

[internalmemos]

I don't know what's worse, realising that fatigue now makes me uninterested in being a spreadsheet nerd using excel, or that I'm upset about losing that nerdy little delight

Sugar Defender: Taking Control of My Blood Sugar (and My Energy Levels!)

For years, I struggled with maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. Afternoon crashes, constant cravings, and just a general feeling of sluggishness became a normal part of my day. I knew I needed to make a change, but I was hesitant to jump on medication. That's when I discovered Sugar Defender supplements.

Natural Ingredients, Big Appeal

What initially attracted me to Sugar Defender was its focus on natural ingredients. Unlike some diabetes medications that can come with harsh side effects, Sugar Defender boasts a blend of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and plant extracts. This transparency about the ingredients gave me a sense of security and control over what I was putting into my body.

Understanding the Powerhouse Blend

After a bit of research, I was even more convinced. The formula includes ingredients like chromium, which helps regulate insulin sensitivity, and alpha-lipoic acid, a potent antioxidant. There's also Gymnema Sylvestre, an herb known to support healthy blood sugar levels. These, combined with other beneficial ingredients, seemed like a well-rounded approach to tackling my blood sugar woes.

Feeling the Positive Shift

I started taking Sugar Defender twice a day, following the recommended dosage. It wasn't an overnight change, but within a few weeks, I started noticing a positive shift. The afternoon slump I used to dread began to fade. My energy levels remained steadier throughout the day, allowing me to be more productive and engaged in my activities.

Sweet Relief from Cravings

One of the most welcome changes was a significant reduction in sugar cravings. Before Sugar Defender, I'd constantly battle the urge for sugary snacks. Now, those cravings have become much less frequent and intense. This has made a big difference in my overall dietary choices and has helped me maintain a healthier weight.

A Word on Consistency

It's important to remember that consistency is key. I haven't missed a dose of Sugar Defender since I started taking it, and I believe that's what's contributed to the noticeable improvements. It's become a part of my daily routine, just like brushing my teeth.

Taking Back Control

Sugar Defender has helped me take back control of my health. My blood sugar levels feel more stable, my energy is on point, and I'm making smarter choices about my diet. It's a natural, convenient way to support my overall well-being.

A Recommendation with a Caveat

If you're looking for a natural way to manage your blood sugar and improve your energy levels, I highly recommend giving Sugar Defender a try. However, it's important to consult with your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you're already taking medication for diabetes. Together, you can decide if Sugar Defender is the right approach for you. With the right strategy, it can be a powerful tool for taking control of your health.

I’m so proud of people living with chronic health conditions. That shit is HARD. Idk who needs to hear this, but if no one else has said it: I’m proud of you. You’re sticking it out through so much pain and grief. That’s no small feat.

Every small thing you do for yourself health adds up. The grief is heavy and it comes from a place of love. The grief knows the pain is wronging you.

I’m proud of you. I hope on the good days you can be proud of yourself.

Keep going.

Dysautonomia is so annoying. I'm trying so hard to be good about getting more calories and eating consistent meals (take that executive dysfunction), but as soon as I eat, my body needs to lie down.

Like, what's that girl? Little Timmy fell down a well? We need to use the digestive system? Better shut down the rest of the body. Energy for productivity? Hahaha, bless your soul. No. No, we won't be doing that. Nighty night.

a moment of silence for all us disabled ones who had to watch each of their friends move on with their lives without you and get jobs, go to school, have partners come and go, get engaged and move house etc.

shout out to my fellow struggling people who are still sitting in the same bedroom they grew up in. the ones who can't get a job, can't make new friends, can't find a partner or partners, can't move house and can't go to school.

I hope one day we can all find someone to at least sit with us in our rooms. I see you and I understand... and I'm sorry we can't be that person for each other

Me when the illness is making me feel ill and the chronic pain is chronic and painful and the disability is disabling me and the fatigue is making me feel fatigued: 🥲

[I need you to go look up "ICICLE WORKS - I STILL WANT YOU" and start blaring that as loud as you can right now.]

So. Typhus and I have failed in our mission to get him into everyone's bedrolls. Turns out that traumatized vampire got hands. We didn't have the heart to break up with Astarion, and I think we're DnD married now. Please keep us in your prayers.

Does anyone have tips/resources for writing when you're suffering with fatigue?

I feel like talking about pacing and resting and being kind to yourself is all good, but realistically isn't going to help me to write much more which is what I want to do.

At the end of the day, writing often just doesn't happen because I have to prioritise work and other stuff. But I feel like I must be missing something that might help.

FAO ALL

It is 3am, anyone care to explain?

Alright I'm terrible at waking up to take my meds on time and I'm not sure if it's OCD, ADHD, or just my fatigue. So anyone who has this or a similar problem,

Please reblog for a bigger sample size!

How can chronic pain patients be “addicted to pain meds?” That’s like telling someone with a prosthetic that they’re addicted to their prosthetic. Or a cardio patient that they’re addicted to their pacemaker. Or a diabetic that they’re addicted to insulin. What is the thought process here?

hot take ??

the only reason people say that "mafuyu and tsukasa have nothing in common" when presented with mafukasa parallels is because they equate mafuyu and tsukasa being similar to "tsukasa has depression" because the fandom equates mafuyu's personality to being depressed and nothing else.

it doesn't help that people (primarily younger people in the fandom) who DO believe in mafukasa parallels end up making the mistake of portraying tsukasa as depressed because as of right now he is not (although it's possible he was in past because of his Very Unclear Middle School Backstory but that's irrelevant)

anyways, mafuyu and tsukasa are narrative foils because their core personalities are built off of the concept of wanting to make the people around them— especially their families— happy.

they both developed personalities at a young age based on someone they looked up to. for tsukasa, it was seiichi amami's performance that inspired him to be a star— a hero that could cheer anyone up. for mafuyu, it was her mother taking care of her that inspired her to be a nurse— and you can see the similarities from there.

for mafuyu, her identity would first come into conflict when her mother expressed her want for mafuyu to be a doctor— suddenly, "everyone's" happiness didn't match what she wanted to do, leaving her in a state of disorder and eventual depression.

for tsukasa, his identity was something he nearly forgot in its entirety at the start of the main story— becoming arrogant and fully absorbed in a hero persona, forgetting the kind person he truly is. furthermore, his current character arc seems to be foreshadowing that what "being a star" to him is going to be called into question— maybe it is something more than just being the main character that saves everyone.

their insecurities are incredibly similar.

in mafuyu's first mixed, mafuyu feels insecure towards ichika because unlike ichika, she feels as if her lyrics have no genuine meaning to be expressed to other people— despite them being her very real feelings. this is brought up again in her second mixed as well.

in tsukasa's third focus event, something similar happens. when watching seiichi's performance, he thinks that his acting is "real" and feels inferior towards him, which is ironic because tsukasa has been method acting this whole time. when tsukasa is acting out rio or bartlett or really anyone at this point in the story, it's not just those characters— it's a reflection of his traumas.

just like mafuyu, tsukasa undermines his passions he's poured his feelings into because someone else's work is more genuine in his eyes.

now, then, foils have many similarities and parallels (and i could honestly list a lot more), but how i define them is that they usually have some kind of major branching difference that MAKES them foils.

for mafuyu and tsukasa it's pretty straightforward.

mafuyu's people pleasing behavior comes from external expectations and pressures— her mother's demands.

tsukasa's people pleasing behavior comes internally, from himself— if he can't meet his own standards, if he can't be the perfect big brother or the perfect star, then he is nothing.

and even then, there's some overlap.

tsukasa's behavior was indirectly encouraged by his mother praising him for being a "good big brother" over the phone instead of asking him if he was okay while home alone.

mafuyu's terrified to be herself around other people because she doesn't want to worry or bother them— she doesn't want to be a burden— and projects her mother's expectations onto them, not realizing that they would prefer the real mafuyu if they knew the truth.

and the concept of mafukasa being foils is most perfectly and blatantly portrayed in these two cards.

mafuyu, the marionette, sitting limp on the floor— puppeteered by her mother's demands and donning a mask to hide her true self.

tsukasa, the jester, standing above everything else— puppeteering silenced plushies— his feelings. he's not being completely honest with himself, and he doesn't even realize it.

mafuyu has cut her strings and ripped her mask in half. she has acknowledged her true feelings and expressed them to her mother, even if she had to run away in the end.

tsukasa has not yet cut his.
