You would think that after 10 years of living with IBS - I would be a pro at avoiding my triggers. Nope - sometimes that stress craving just hits and I can't help myself from devouring a bag of jelly babies (please tell me I am not the only one!)
So, I wanted to share these tips again as a reminder for all my digestive and IBS spoonies: It is ok if you accidentally tigger yourself - it happens to all of us. You are not alone!
Sending spoonie hugs!
If you trigger yourself accidentally with IBS
Remember - don't beat yourself up. It will happen to pretty much everyone at some point.
Follow your doctors instructions in case of a flare, take it easy, and be kind to your body.

A few things that help me when I trigger my IBS:
Hot water bottle (although I let it cool down a little before I use it to prevent hot water bottle rash (which you do not want, trust me))
Distraction (100% valid)
Gentle foods - crackers and dry toast initially (especially if I have badly flared myself), and then slowly get back into normal food
100% avoid the potential trigger food for at least a week to give my tummy time to settle
Sending spoonie hugs

part of what makes IBS so fascinating to me is its position both within the world of Tyria and the story it was trying to tell, and the larger metatextual circumstances surrounding its development. because, like, The Icebrood Saga is a story that's, IMO, largely about placing individual actions in complex systems of power, and what happens when those systems begin to unravel.
-> Can you help us deal with Bangar? Aurene: He's a part of a larger web. Strands connecting to strands. Cut one out and nothing changes, not really. Aurene: It's hard to explain. But seeing how those strands connect... Taking one life won't solve your problems. (x)
so, like, you have Ryland, who talks about "playing his cards right" but has really been dealt a bad hand from the start and can only keep playing bad cards - the one decent play he gets in Turnabout to try and get out of the game gets interrupted by an arrogant bastard killing Cinder, and it's downhill from there. it's not necessarily that it was always going to end the way it did with him, but you're fighting an uphill battle against his upbringing, against his relationship with Bangar, against all cultural context. he insists that Jormag didn't coerce him into anything, and that's true; he ends up as Jormag's champion because, at least from Ryland's perspective, there's really no other option by the time he has the bow in his paws.
likewise, you have Braham, wrestling with being the norn of prophecy, slowly (slower if Champions didn't have to be rushed out of the door, I imagine) coming to terms with what exactly that means. he knows from the beginning that either Jormag dies, or he dies. he knows this, and knows that it's always going to end one way or the other. the prophecy unfurls, and Jormag awakens, and it becomes more and more obvious how it's supposed to go. He bonds with Primordus, because there's really no other option by the time Jormag is threatening to freeze the world ten times over to ice their brother out of existence. and sure, it might still destroy him even if Jormag doesn't kill him, but he doesn't get the luxury of thinking about that.
and then you have the Commander, who should be in control of the narrative, because in-universe they're the Commander and out-of-universe they're the player character, but there are multiple points where that agency is taken away from you - Smodur bombs the bunker and interrupts your negotiation, Ryland puts a bullet through Smodur's skull. you're always going to try and save the farm, but not every problem has an easy solution. the Legions are built on centuries of war and violence and hypervigilance against external threats; Bangar is not an isolated bad actor but a product of that system, and the gears of the war machine churn on both sides of Drizzlewood. you (and Aurene) are largely an audience to the family tragedy - tragedies, plural, both the relationships between Rytlock/Crecia/Ryland and Jormag/Primordus - as they break down.
"The Balance" isn't sustainable in its current state, but there isn't really a good alternative at this point. you can't back down when you're three dragons in (we tried that after Mordremoth, and Balthazar wouldn't have it and Kralkatorrik couldn't stomach it), and Jormag and Primordus (mostly Jormag) are threatening to escalate as the encroaching void eats away at them both. there's this real sense that they just have to make the best of a bad situation, and hope that the damage is minimal. the universe itself is on a cresting wave and it's about to crash, heading into End of Dragons.
so you have all of that, and it's also the chapter of GW2 where the developers are hit with major studio-disrupting internal problems and a fucking global lockdown. your story gets interrupted, there's not much you can do about it, but you have to keep going and make the best of it, even when the fate of arenanet itself seems uncertain.
what happens in the aftermath, after the dragonstorm clears?

omg hi!!! I'm a year 1 ib student rn and i just saw that you're doing ib math aa - do you have any tips on which revision resources to do / how to think of a good IA topic?? if you do, I would be super grateful thank you so much!! <3 - @studyingscribbles
my main piece of advice for revising ib math aa would be to use practice sites like revision dojo and revision village, or to practice with past papers, since practicing exam-style questions is probably the best way to revise when it comes to this subject. revision dojo in particular is really useful (and free!) and has additional resources if you need help understanding any concepts. also, you might find openstax helpful (for any subject really, not just math) if you need a more in-depth explanation of a concept!
as for ia topics, i might not be the most helpful since i struggled with this myself, but i would say try to find something that has to do with an interest of yours that you can link back to a concept in the syllabus. that's the method my teacher recommended and it helped me out. also, you could try looking through some IAs on clastify to spark some inspiration!
@studyingscribbles and anyone else reading, i hope these tips help! ♡

My very unscientific hypothesis for Skully placing 2nd in a yume popularity poll reported by raven-at-the-writing-desk (it be a jpn yume poll and I am not Japanese but this is really a thinly-veiled excuse for me to try to defend my own brainrot.)
Design/aesthetic/visuals
• a nice blend of elegant and spooky. skeletons are SUCH a cool theme and I like suits ok (my favorite halloween dorm costumes are Heartslabyul's)
• big shades make it all mysterious but when they're off he has the eyebags and big eyes and shadows over the upper half of the face that joins his fluffy hair to make him look like scruffy wet cat of a creature.
• swirly orange eyes that pop because of the mostly monochrome palette of everything else.
• whatever is going on with those lips + teeth gaps make you look at the lips and teeth more and add to the skeleton look
•cool gloves that get shown off with that silly pose (I am was a victim of esprei's submas drawings yes)
• tall
• he has a blushing sprite. Blushing sprites w/ embarrassed faces are objectively cute
Personality/Story/etc.
• "Gentlemanly." And gentlemanly reason is he wants to emulate his idol that is CUTE
• the prefect ended up lying on him one way or another. Also. Hand kiss that left a horrible first impression on everyone but what are the joseimuke people here for if not to kick their feet at the hint of otome in canon media?
• A peaceful Halloween just doing nothing but spending time in a dark room with company does seem relaxing, actually, when you're very tired.
• Bit of a freak. Just a little. Sure he drugged his idol and kidnapped the Prefect and Grim but was pretty nice about it. Tied them up but gave them sweets. Like the bar is in hell but that's tame compared to the other stuff Yuu went through. (Also yandere fandoms exist within every fandom and the kidnapping here was CANON this guy has FUEL).
• AMNESIA/SEPARATED BY TIME TRAGEDY the MELANCHOLY the IDEA that he still made Halloween something remembered centuries later even made the NIGHTMARE SUIT
•ghosts exist in twst you give a long-dead character what else are we supposed to do with those puzzle pieces

Natural Remedies for PCOS Management: Expert-Recommended Diet and Lifestyle Changes
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects millions of women worldwide, often causing hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and weight gain. While medical treatments are available, incorporating natural remedies, particularly diet and lifestyle changes, can significantly help in managing PCOS symptoms. In this blog, we explore expert-recommended strategies for effectively managing PCOS naturally.
What role does diet play in managing PCOS?
Diet plays a crucial role in PCOS management as it directly impacts insulin levels, inflammation, and hormonal balance. Eating a balanced diet can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce symptoms, and promote weight loss.
Experts recommend focusing on foods with a low glycemic index (GI) that release sugar slowly into the bloodstream. Include whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats while minimizing processed foods and sugary snacks.
Here are some expert-recommended food groups:
Which foods are considered best for women with PCOS?
High-fiber foods: Oats, quinoa, lentils, and broccoli to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Lean proteins: Chicken, turkey, tofu, and fish to support muscle health without spiking insulin.
Healthy fats: Avocados, nuts, olive oil, and seeds to reduce inflammation.
Low GI fruits: Berries, apples, and pears for natural sweetness.
Herbs and spices: Cinnamon and turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits.
What lifestyle changes can help alleviate PCOS symptoms?
Regular Exercise: Engage in 30-45 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days a week. Activities like brisk walking, yoga, and strength training are effective.
Stress Management: Practices like meditation, mindfulness, and deep breathing can help reduce cortisol levels.
Quality Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep to help regulate hormone levels.
Weight Management: Even a 5% reduction in body weight can improve symptoms significantly.
Are there natural supplements that can help?
Yes, certain supplements have shown promise for PCOS management. However, consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen. Popular options include:
Inositol: Helps improve insulin sensitivity.
Vitamin D: Supports hormonal balance.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Reduces inflammation.
Magnesium: Helps with insulin regulation and stress management.
How can stress affect PCOS, and what can be done about it?
Chronic stress increases cortisol production, which can worsen hormonal imbalances and trigger insulin resistance—common issues in PCOS patients. Stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, and spending time in nature can be beneficial.
FAQs About Natural Remedies for PCOS
1. Can PCOS be completely cured with natural remedies? PCOS cannot be completely cured, but natural remedies can help manage symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
2. How long does it take to see improvements with diet and lifestyle changes? Most women notice improvements within 3-6 months of consistent dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
3. Is weight loss necessary to manage PCOS symptoms? Weight loss is not mandatory but can significantly help in reducing symptoms. Even a small reduction in weight can be beneficial.
4. Can supplements replace dietary changes for PCOS? Supplements are supportive but cannot replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
5. Are there any foods to completely avoid with PCOS? Avoid sugary drinks, processed snacks, and refined carbohydrates as they can worsen insulin resistance.
