I posted this on vesti but here's my squirrel Mr. Whiskers I have been feeding him since my surgery =). He comes around every day to the window or porch and I sing to him. Sometimes he sits on my lap but he doesn't like being pet.

How's everybody's lives? I miss you guys. Some updates from recent months:
- I quit my Wolf of Wall Street job where everyone was hopped up on coke or addy. That job was killing me, but it was kinda awesome in a way too...there was like 100+ people on the floor, all between 23-30, and it was like 50/50 women/men. I miss that at my new job's old dingy office filled with 12 dudes and one girl.
- Speaking of the new job, I started it in May. It's boring as fuck and still sales (it was the only one I could grab on a whim), but it's far less stressful and doable. Really want to get a job I give a fuck about though.
- Starting school in a week so shit's gonna be crazy again.
- Been seeing a girl (that I worked with at my crazy job) since December. She might be the coolest girl I've ever dated but I'm not super attracted to her physically, so we're still keeping it light. Not really sure where to go with it, but it's good for now even though I know she wants something more (I know it's only gonna end badly unless I take action and do something about it, but I probably won't).
My usual experience with 10mg is major munchies/really high about an hour after taking it, then about 30-45 minutes more after that I get really tired and fall asleep. So about a 2 hour process at most.

I'm not an expert, I just know that in general indica is indica, especially when it comes to edibles. Gummies is what I always get so the process I described above is from them. Just don't take more than one per night, even if it feels like it's not hitting you, it takes about an hour or so like I said.It's like a fkin candy shop in there lol.

Am I putting too much thought in to like what helps you sleep? Indica is indica or i gotta look at certain strains and stuff?
Ok thanks =). The guys in those shops were pretty knowledgeable but it's almost like information overload. I'll try what I got and go from there.I'm not an expert, I just know that in general indica is indica, especially when it comes to edibles.

Also forgot to mention that if you take it on an empty stomach then it should probably hit you faster and the munchies will be stronger. But even on a full stomach, I'd say about an hour is usually right.Ok thanks =). The guys in those shops were pretty knowledgeable but it's almost like information overload.

This is probably an idiotic question but can I appease the munchies like before hand with say a high protein snack, wait a bit then eat it and go to bed.. or does the munchies just mean im gonna wanna eat no matter what lol.Also forgot to mention that if you take it on an empty stomach then it should probably hit you faster and the munchies will be stronger.

It'll probably lessen them at least somewhat, I'd imagine. I never really tried that before so I'm not sure. I know I always get them no matter what, they just varied in severity based on how much I ate beforehand (I just never tried eating something that would specifically weaken them or anything like that, so I'm honestly not sure, but you can probably google it I'd imagine).This is probably an idiotic question but can I appease the munchies like before hand with say a high protein snack, wait a bit then eat it and go to bed.. or does the munchies just mean im gonna wanna eat no matter what lol.Also forgot to mention that if you take it on an empty stomach then it should probably hit you faster and the munchies will be stronger.

This sounds like me. I'm sure everything will work itself out for the best. I can't find it right now, but I swear I read a quote, I think it was from Vonnegut, that was something like "Everything works itself out in the end, and if it doesn't, that's because it isn't the end".

Where in those places did you go?Back from a vacay in Orlando and Miami. Quite a hell of a lot of fun.
My internet persona on here is like the complete opposite to how I feel IRL. You think i'd be full of energy or even have ADD or something probably but i can't even keep my eyes open.

Sorry to hear that, man. If you don't mind me asking, what was the original surgery for?
I can smoke I just thought i'd prefer edibles. I'm open to anything.Are you unable to smoke because of the surgery recovery? Edibles are cool and mellow but I'd prefer smoking over edibles 10 times out of 10. That's just me tho, maybe you could try both and see what you prefer
Damn that sounds brutal.https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chiari-malformation/symptoms-causes/syc-20354010Really bad man. My surgery is fucked up I might have to get another surgery on top of that I have severe fatigue issues and I can't work
Sorry to hear that, man. If you don't mind me asking, what was the original surgery for?
I have/had something called chiari malformation. Basically where spinal fluid enters/leaves the brain at the back of my head, it's heavily restricted and there was almost no flow happening. The neurologist actually told me it's the worst chiari malformation he's ever seen. It's somewhat common to have a malformation and not have any symptoms actually. Anyways, the neurologist told me when he looked at the follow up MRI that the surgeon hadn't fully cleared up the area, probably because it was such a bad malformation, and I likely need to have them go back in and do it all this time.
Main symptoms that I had was severe headaches and vertigo/dizziness especially when straining the head/neck area. Even something like coughing sneezing or laughing would bring on a flurry of debilitating headaches for me personally. If the spinal fluid has no where to go it can cause a syrinx/spinal cord tumor which I did not have but was at high risk for, apparently.
For some reason this made me laugh a lot harder than it should have lol.Plot twist: Ang is actually a hardcore liberal.

Since 7~9th grade I've had chronic fatigue, severe memory loss issues, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, among other things. In the later years of High School I gained a lot of weight, I'm 29 now but when I was 23 I weighed over 410 pounds and had severe depression. I never felt good and I was a young kid so obviously I just ate a lot. I always assumed this was the cause of my issues, being so overweight, so one day I decided I'm either going to kill myself or I'm going to lose the weight. Right now I weigh 180 pounds. But.. I didn't feel better, heck I may even feel worse now than I did when I was so overweight. So I've done numerous MRI's, sleep apnea tests, blood work more times than I can count, countless anti-depressants and some sleep aids but nothing has helped. Then finally my eye doctor out of all people was looking over my MRI results and noticed I had a chiari malformation. I went to the surgeon and he said it's bad and immediately had the surgery basically immediately as I was desperate to feel better. A few months went by and I realized this surgeon doesn't really know much about this condition (and also he's just a surgeon, he cuts stuff) so I found a neurologist who actually knows what he's talking about in this department and he went over it with me. He's quite confident in 6 months to 1 year my headaches and dizziness will start to go away, but I may need follow up surgery as mentioned earlier. He said my severe fatigue likely is related to something else completely and every time I go to my primary care doctor he just keeps shoving more anti-depressants down my throat. Everyone I have ever talked to says don't take these things so I'm stopping. I'm now at that ultimatum I was at before in my life with my weight. I either need to solve this issue or stop living. I know that sounds crazy but I am not depressed, I just can't live like this. I went from working full time but feeling like shit, to barely working part time, to one day a week to now unemployed. The only way I can describe how tired I am is that if I turn on the T.V. and watch a movie for the day, I consider that a productive day right now. Since the surgery I've gotten in a bad habit of not doing anything and never going out which is probably a little expected/excusable but my parents loaned me some money to buy a drone, one of the cheaper ones. It's something im really interested in so if it gets me outside to do something.. anything.. that's a big success. But from the medical side of things, I decided it's time to start taking some more aggressive medications so idk something like adderall, ritalin, vyvanese for my fatigue. I'd prefer to go a more natural route if i can, so any suggestions are welcome. My personal trainer says something like pot or cbd oil to sleep is far healthier than chugging pharmacy pills designed to help me sleep and I trust his opinion, so I'm hoping these will helpDamn that sounds brutal.https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chiari-malformation/symptoms-causes/syc-20354010Sorry to hear that, man.

I'm quite liberal when it comes to social policies tbh. Though I don't identify with like those crazy leftists identity politics crap. I feel like I identify with probably 80% of america? and the other crazy 10% on both sides are just very loud and annoying. so if i say im a republican u picture that 10% and if u say u r aliberal I picture that other 10% but in reality im sur emost of us are in that 80% where we probably agree on all of the same shit.For some reason this made me laugh a lot harder than it should have lol.Plot twist: Ang is actually a hardcore liberal.

I don't post a lot of the things I feel on here anymore because I'm so middle of the road on everything. I don't identify as a liberal even though I'm from Long Beach/LA. But I think conservatives are the most narrow minded people I've ever met and if they all just....went away I wouldn't think twice about them.
Btw...I've started posting on Reddit a lot more on their sports boards. I feel like such a traitor to IGN after all these years.
First of all that weight loss is fucking incredible. Second of all, if you've already come this far and have taken such serious steps (and made such huge progress) to fix your health problems, hopefully that's enough motivation to keep you going until it's back to a point where you feel like you can live normally again.Since 7~9th grade I've had chronic fatigue, severe memory loss issues, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, among other things.

Anyways, the neurologist told me when he looked at the follow up MRI that the surgeon hadn't fully cleared up the area, probably because it was such a bad malformation, and I likely need to have them go back in and do it all this time.
Main symptoms that I had was severe headaches and vertigo/dizziness especially when straining the head/neck area. Even something like coughing sneezing or laughing would bring on a flurry of debilitating headaches for me personally. If the spinal fluid has no where to go it can cause a syrinx/spinal cord tumor which I did not have but was at high risk for, apparently.
I've never gotten this personal on here but I consider all of you my friends, I really do, and I share more things with my online friends than my IRL ones tbh.
This used to be me .. here u guys wanted a pic!

I should be more proud about what I did weight wise but tbh I still feel I look exactly the same. Maybe i'll upload a new photo of me tomorrow.
The vast majority of conservatives/republicans that I work with in the Army are all radicals. They think everyone is out to take their guns and their jobs will be taken away and given to illegal immigrants that want to do nothing but pillage and rape their homes and women. They literally demonize Obama and ANYTHING he did. So it's hard for me to rationalize with anyone that has a one track mind and can be easily persuaded to hate other people. Trump could literally shoot someone in the head on national tv and the people I work with would blame liberals for making him do it. But not before denying he did it in the first place.I'm quite liberal when it comes to social policies tbh. Though I don't identify with like those crazy leftists identity politics crap. I feel like I identify with probably 80% of america? and the other crazy 10% on both sides are just very loud and annoying. so if i say im a republican u picture that 10% and if u say u r aliberal I picture that other 10% but in reality im sur emost of us are in that 80% where we probably agree on all of the same shit.For some reason this made me laugh a lot harder than it should have lol.Plot twist: Ang is actually a hardcore liberal. Who would've known.
I don't post a lot of the things I feel on here anymore because I'm so middle of the road on everything. I don't identify as a liberal even though I'm from Long Beach/LA. But I think conservatives are the most narrow minded people I've ever met and if they all just....went away I wouldn't think twice about them.
Btw...I've started posting on Reddit a lot more on their sports boards. I feel like such a traitor to IGN after all these years.
Since 7~9th grade I've had chronic fatigue, severe memory loss issues, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, among other things. In the later years of High School I gained a lot of weight, I'm 29 now but when I was 23 I weighed over 410 pounds and had severe depression. I never felt good and I was a young kid so obviously I just ate a lot. I always assumed this was the cause of my issues, being so overweight, so one day I decided I'm either going to kill myself or I'm going to lose the weight. Right now I weigh 180 pounds. But.. I didn't feel better, heck I may even feel worse now than I did when I was so overweight. So I've done numerous MRI's, sleep apnea tests, blood work more times than I can count, countless anti-depressants and some sleep aids but nothing has helped. Then finally my eye doctor out of all people was looking over my MRI results and noticed I had a chiari malformation. I went to the surgeon and he said it's bad and immediately had the surgery basically immediately as I was desperate to feel better. A few months went by and I realized this surgeon doesn't really know much about this condition (and also he's just a surgeon, he cuts stuff) so I found a neurologist who actually knows what he's talking about in this department and he went over it with me. He's quite confident in 6 months to 1 year my headaches and dizziness will start to go away, but I may need follow up surgery as mentioned earlier. He said my severe fatigue likely is related to something else completely and every time I go to my primary care doctor he just keeps shoving more anti-depressants down my throat. Everyone I have ever talked to says don't take these things so I'm stopping. I'm now at that ultimatum I was at before in my life with my weight. I either need to solve this issue or stop living. I know that sounds crazy but I am not depressed, I just can't live like this. I went from working full time but feeling like shit, to barely working part time, to one day a week to now unemployed. The only way I can describe how tired I am is that if I turn on the T.V. and watch a movie for the day, I consider that a productive day right now. Since the surgery I've gotten in a bad habit of not doing anything and never going out which is probably a little expected/excusable but my parents loaned me some money to buy a drone, one of the cheaper ones. It's something im really interested in so if it gets me outside to do something.. anything.. that's a big success. But from the medical side of things, I decided it's time to start taking some more aggressive medications so idk something like adderall, ritalin, vyvanese for my fatigue. I'd prefer to go a more natural route if i can, so any suggestions are welcome. My personal trainer says something like pot or cbd oil to sleep is far healthier than chugging pharmacy pills designed to help me sleep and I trust his opinion, so I'm hoping these will helpDamn that sounds brutal.https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/chiari-malformation/symptoms-causes/syc-20354010

I really feel like twitter, facebook, and that sort of stuff has created this whole radical rage on both sides. Gave idiots a microphone to spread fear or idiotic ideas or whatever. I think Obama did some good things and some bad things, when I say I identify is a conservative it's really from an economic standpoint so I'm not a fan of Obama's economic policies nor am I a fan of Trump.

lol I'm not that tall 5'10.First of all that weight loss is fucking incredible. Second of all, if you've already come this far and have taken such serious steps (and made such huge progress) to fix your health problems, hopefully that's enough motivation to keep you going until it's back to a point where you feel like you can live normally again.Since 7~9th grade I've had chronic fatigue, severe memory loss issues, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, among other things.

I actually wouldn't even describe myself as ever living a normal day in my adult life, which sucks but I think something will help I Just have to find it.
I vote democrat because of where I come from and the things i've seen in my neighborhoods. I understand that everyone has different views and I have a ton of respect for some of my republican friends when they can see beyond their political ties. It just amazes me how extreme leftists and alt right members have taken over the narrative for their side of the political landscape. Any time someone tries too hard to push their opinions and agendas onto other people, it irks me like no other. No one seems open minded anymore. I really do feel like Trump and the republican party have such a big impact on this as well. Liberals seem to accept differences and want an open forum on how to do better by all people. Yet extreme leftists push that shit too far and try to shove the we are the world narrative down our throats too much. On the other side though even baseline conservatives always come off as hate mongers. It's them against the world and thats it. If you don't agree with them, you're against them. There's no compromise.I really feel like twitter, facebook, and that sort of stuff has created this whole radical rage on both sides. Gave idiots a microphone to spread fear or idiotic ideas or whatever.
