    I am craving an enchilada. I will buy one at a restaurant and eat it before going home after work today.

    Enchiladas are fun to make, but you sorta have to soak them with tomato sauce if using corn tortillas , ootherwise they crack when baking. Then throw cheese on top and back in the oben.

    It's funny, l know these are bad for my friend, but they make lunch so easy.....

    I am not an invalid. I am not cognitively impaired. I am not delusional or psychotic. I never was any of those things. I am not what my family tells everybody I am - I refuse to own their insecurities any longer.

    Alright, don't believe the brainwashing. YOU aren't any of that crap. YOU walked thru that door along time ago.

    It's a door you already walk thru, and your family can't push you back into that MINDSET, rejoice, you are FREE.

    I forget to take a single dose of my antidepressant, I become horribly sad that afternoon. I wish my brain were not such a mess, especially since my family uses that against me when I talk about abuse I lived through.

    It's pretty sketchy to not take meds on time for sure

    Have you got any ideas on how you could be more consistent?
    Metalhead
    Metalhead
    I usually am extremely consistent. I guess yesterday morning I woke up five minutes before i had to leave for work and I panicked.

    I was ghosted by a friend, and now I find out he ghosted all of our mutual friends as well, so I can't be taking that personally.

    I feel like sipping Cuba Libres, eating nachos, and watching the most depressing movies ever made, one after another, all weekend long. Maybe I'll do that with virgin Cuba Libres.

    It seems clear to me that most people in my daily life want me to die.

    Anybody who wants you to go away should get their wish-simply cut off all contact and exit their lives 100% permanently. You don't have to harm yourself, simply cut off the toxic person. It's funny though how when such people are suddenly deprived of their punching bag they start trying to reel you back in.

    Yeah, I should become a hermit and reject social life altogether. People I once thought were close friends are now too busy to even talk to me or text me. Something about me drives people away. I should have never been born to begin with.

    Hey, I feel the same way. I am a de facto hermit right now, living in a place where nobody even knows or cares that I exist. It is actually quite liberating.

    I feel like sipping a Negroni in a beachside cafe, checking out the hot swimmer guys in their swimsuits.

    Listening to the new Dream Theater album while I work at the office.

    first impression is this is a backward step for the band and is fan servicing nostalgia coin, which is fine and fun in its own way, I prefer progress. It's typical Portnoy era DT but downtuned. Portnoy sounding exactly the same as 20 years ago. If only he expanded his horizons like he does his drum kit. In some ways he's a more talented Lars: he refuses to practice, his priority is micro managing the band.

    I just got fasting blood work done this morning. Most of my stats are within normal range, but my cholesterol is way too high. That worries me.

    Are you taking any statin? I've had to watch my fat intake because of my Type 2 diabetes. But this past year, using a continuous monitor, I have been doing well. My A1c has been around 5.6, nearly at a prediabetic level.

    @tree the dosage used to treat cholesterol was 2000mg three times a day, the standard recommended intake is 12-18mg a day, that's WAY too large a dose. @Gerald Wilgus I am not taking any statin. The doctor will see me next in a week to discuss the next steps.

    That's a lot.
    I didn't mean go mega-dose.
    Just add some.

    It's been helpful to me with depression.

    Some of the ramen brands I can pick up at the local Korean market are supremely God tier.

    Oh yeah, authentic East Asian ramen makes the American stuff (like Top Ramen and Maruchan) taste like wet paper. Avoid Thai ramen though unless you love spicy turned up to 11, which I don't. There's now a Hmong market in Yreka to serve the marijuana planters, and they have stuff like this.

    I have some Dashi in the freezer that I made for a ramen base. I am fortunate that there is an Asian Market in Traverse City. I picked up the Dashi and Bonito Flakes there.
