Sometimes antidepressants can unmask bipolar disorder and cause manic episodes
Unless mania or hypomania was present previously in a patient, this would be more about the drug’s effects than revealing a pre-existing condition.

Definitely advise you to check out Type 2 flower (low THC potency) or edibles made from Type 3 hemp (high CBD, low THC) if anxiety or THC sensitivity is the issue. Carts are very, very potent and I do not recommend them for most people, dry herb vaping low potency flower is much easier to mitigate side effects.
I also edited my reply with a link to Lazarus Naturals for full spectrum tinctures, which is a great company. HCF is my favorite for Type 2/3 hemp flower (search the acronym and append hemp at the end).
Disclaimer: Be advised that CBD has a grapefruit effect and is best to consult with your doctor before regularly consuming if you’re taking any medications.


Have you tried incorporating rice into your diet to gain weight? I like white jasmine rice and it agrees with my sensitive stomach. You could try eating small amounts throughout the day, served with some cooked veggies for some added nutrition - prepared however you like.
When I was under-eating due to an undiagnosed severe stomach issue that was missed by doctors for years, the best thing for me then was slowly increasing my food intake at meals, eating light and more often, eating things that agree with me (eating primarily whole foods and cutting out highly processed foods + gluten), and vaping cannabis for nausea.
Nowadays it’s perfectly legal to get hemp shipped to your front door from online websites in most states for the time being… if you want a recommendation for nausea and appetite primarily I could point you in the right direction if you’d like.
Here is a reputable website for full spectrum CBD tinctures if ordering hemp flower/vaping/etc. isn’t something you’re comfortable with: https://www.lazarusnaturals.com/collections/tinctures?filter.p.m.custom.spectrum=Full+spectrum&sort_by=manual
CBD isn’t something that’s amazing for nausea or appetite specifically, but there are trace amounts of THC in there that could help. Low potency flower would be superior if you can tolerate it.


For me and my skin/hair/scalp, using no products when showering besides the occasional, situational use of a facial cleanser (always at the end) is best for me. I have very sensitive skin and I react poorly to most products.
After I stopped regularly using most products in the shower I stopped getting dandruff (my scalp is very healthy now), my short hair is always very soft (but never oily), my acne improved significantly, my skin isn’t dry or irritated anymore (nor is it very oily in certain areas), and I have almost zero body odor (I’m somebody who sweats very little and has low body odor regardless - but I’ve still noticed an improvement).
I shower daily and use a deliberate, thorough washing routine, starting at my face and scalp and working downward to redistribute natural oils across my skin. I sometimes use a clean washcloth for exfoliation. This approach has worked well for my skin’s sensitivity and oil balance. I still use soap when it is reasonable and necessary to do so.
Have I bought into Big Soap capitalist propaganda without even noticing??
The skin’s oil layer (sebum) and its flora (microbiota) are critical to skin health, but I don’t think most commercial products are designed to support them.
I feel like no matter how angry you are at the state of the world or at other people, how outraged you are at the injustice and self-destructive trajectory humanity is on, empathy is a solid foundation for radicalization.


and there are in fact many groups of Cubans in the US who support an invasion of Cuba
Could you provide a source for this claim?
Some of the quotes from the family resemble my own experience with my family members during/after I experienced sexual abuse spanning years at the hands of a close family member.
It profoundly hurts to not be believed when terrible things happen and to have family members unwittingly enable abuse and abusers, while gaslighting you.
I hope the truth is revealed.
Did I advocate for the Salvation Army or churches that engage in that sort of behavior? No.
I’m saying there are allies present in Christianity. If you have a problem with that, so be it.
the VAST majority are not and do more than enough harm to cancel out any good being done.
The good ones do exist in the many millions - they don’t deserve hate and I believe they deserve recognition for their inclusivity and activism. That’s all I gotta say.


The intent was clarified within minutes of me responding (and ignored) - and if you look deep, a commenter still asserts that I’m suggesting licenses for all adults.
See: https://lemmy.world/comment/20879263
Can you not see the disconnect and the spin the person is continuing to push? They are suggesting an entirely new system (licenses for all adults) and applying that to me, while I’m over here pointing to something that already exists as a likely implementation: probation terms (which they refuse to address).
I never suggested “offender lists”. I’m not saying probation terms retroactively apply to past offenders, either.


You didn’t say anything about rehabilitation
I clarified that I did mean that umpteen times if you cared to look (including in the edit to the comment you just responded to), but the other commenter refused to listen to the nuance and called it “rhetorical flourishing”.
People have terms for probation. I said that if you are violent and reoffending (domestic abuser) that there should be restrictions for you entering into a new or existing relationship. Which is a viable term for probation to prevent abuse.
The system for probation already exists, I said nothing about licenses or licenses affecting all adults - which the other commenter repeatedly asserts I’m suggesting. It is twisting and it is likely in bad faith.


Just because I’m pointing out just some of the deeply unjust and inherent flaws in your proposal, doesn’t mean it’s spin.
You are saying I’m suggesting it affect “all adults”. That’s false, I gave a very specific example and circumstance for which this could be applied. Probation officers manage almost all aspects of those they are monitoring that are on probation and all adults don’t need to abide by that system.
You realize that you’re not making these arguments on a libertarian forum, right?
Are you seriously suggesting I am a right-wing libertarian for suggesting that there be terms for probation after somebody domestically abuses somebody, especially repeat offenders? Have you ever known somebody on probation or a violent offender and have experience with the systems they go through to reenter society?
The restrictions can be quite harsh and I don’t agree with all of them, but therapy and preventing abuse is desirable after somebody is released from incarceration (and during) for domestic violence.
The vast majority of us here are left wing and not inherently opposed to the concept of government or regulation, yet the vast majority of us here seem very much opposed to your ideas.
They saw your spin and took you at face-value. I’m not hurt.


You replied to yourself and meant to reply to this comment:
Not once did I suggest all adults and I never suggested licensing. Re-read.
Condition. For. Probation. Or. Incarceration. That’s the nuance and it’s not “rhetorical flair”. You misread or you are in bad faith.
Such a system already exists in some individual people’s terms for probation and adults don’t need to get a license.
Probation is an established system. You suggested licensing I’m not engaging with you anymore because that’s not my argument. It’s your spin.

I also have experienced discrimination and bigotry from churches, but I know now there are plenty of inclusive big churches and I wanted people to understand that.
I went through 4 years of high school at a Born Again church because my parents forced me there and every day was hell. They suspected I was gay and being called the f-slur was the least of my issues.


You are completely removing the agency of adults to make their own choices
Violent, reoffending adults who specifically engage in domestic violence - and I clarified that it should be as part of their incarceration/probation. Such restrictions already exist in certain cases as terms for probation and it doesn’t always revolve around protecting children.
Probation officers handle this just fine, there is no need for licenses affecting all adults. You twisted what I said, just admit it.


Why couldn’t you just respond like that to me?
The legal mechanisms required to enforce that would be some form of government permission and approval structure, such as licensing.
False.
For example, if one is a sex offender/domestic violence perpetrator in the US, they can be disallowed to have a relationship as part of their probation. Therapy can also be a requirement for probation.
How would the government track an individuals approval for personal private relationships?
How would the government enforce penalties on private citizens who engaged in an unauthorized private relationships?
There are probation officers who handle these cases and violating the terms of probation usually results in a loss of freedom/punishment of the person serving probation.
Commenter:
The salvation army is a big church and big churches don’t like LGBT.
They said big churches don’t like LGBT. There are big churches that like LGBT, even if most big churches don’t. There is nuance here and I responded to that commenter’s specific words.
I only found out a few years ago how accepting some churches are, specifically meeting people who went to the Episcopal Church. I just felt it relevant to point that out.


Never heard of this person, but given that there are accusations against them that are at the forefront of search results I’m unsure if I feel it prudent to expose myself to their works.
