The science seems to suggest you can get everything your body needs from plants, so if that is the case, what argument can you make against being Vegan? I'm not trying to be bitchy or self righteous, I'm just curious to hear your guys point of view.

No one who's gone through male puberty should be able to compete in female sports. It shouldn't be man vs women's sports it should be male vs female sports. It's the biology that matters not the identity. I respect trans women as women but they are not female and thus shouldn't be able to compete in female sports.

See a doctor bro.

Sorry to hear about this OP. I don't know how old you are, but I'd definitely consider giving life as much of a chance as possible before considering this, although I don't know how much you're suffering and I don't know how hopeless your circumstance. If you are going to go through with this, then rest in peace, but I hope you reconsider.

Are you 100% sure it wasn't anything to do with your own decisions that made you feel this way? Are you sure you were thoroughly in your attempts to meet your nutritional requirements?

Nah i haven't consumed caffeine in 4 years. Alcohol is a rare occurrence. No drugs/cigarettes.

Even just going for a 1 hour walk which is sometimes relaxing, increases my anxiety/restlessness, I'm getting a tight chest. It doesn't feel mental, I have a good handle on my thoughts after therapy and meditation and there's no big external stressor in my life. It's all internal. It's all happened in the last few weeks all of a sudden for seemingly no reason. I'm tracking my calories and my nutrition, and nothing much has changed in my life. I drink no alcohol, caffeine or drugs etc. I booked an apt with my doctor because right now I'm having to avoid doing much exercise because of this. It feels just out of nowhere this is the case, and it's stopping me from doing what I love in Hiking. I am physically fit and healthy.

I don't think so. They never used ot make me anxious, it;s not going for a walk that makes me anxious right now. It's not a case of something make me anxious, it's like I'm not scared of caffeine but the effect of it makes me feel anxiety. What i'm saying is right now any form of exercise is increasing my anxiety.

Agreed, I've been trying to figure that out for a while, and lifestyle habits can play a part, and improving my lifestyle habits helps, I have improved my symptoms in some ways, but that being said, things have never returned to the way they were before I got all these problems several years ago. It's like sometimes a switch flips inside of me. Around age 23 it's like a switch flipped and that was it. I've been able to make changes to make myself feel better, but there's always an unease there on a daily basis. Btw sorry if I am a bit snappy I'm just irritable.

It's nothing to do with lacking distractions. I know how to manage my thoughts. I know the difference between my thoughts making me anxious vs me just feeling at unease for no reason. Just like there's a difference between being depressed about something vs feeling depressed for no reason at all. It's got nothing to do with comfort zones or patterns of thought, it's not that sort of thing. You can feel anxious because you've drank too much caffeine, it's not always to do with that.

Over the last 5-6 years I've kind of gone through stages of 6-9 months on a technology detox and felt better, but recently had a bout a year of spending a lot of time in front of screens, and have just come away from such a lifestyle again in the last 5 weeks or so. But my symptoms now in some ways are worse than ever. I've never had an issue with exercise causing me anxiety. I literally cannot go out for a walk for an hour without noticing it gradually leading to more irritability/anxiety/depression. I have the fitness to do it but its like the stimulation itself is causing me to feel worse and I notice my general levels of anxiety have in some ways gotten worse. This sucks. I feel so bad because at times I've made such good progress then gone back to screens thinking It wouldn't be so bad because of my other lifestyle habits are healthy. I hope I'm able to recover from this. I've never had panic/anxiety attacks before but recently got them. I'm holding on for now, hoping that if I continue on the right path I'll see improvements, but if not then I cannot live like this and I'm out.

The problem is relying on humans to treat the animals well, which you cannot. We have this fantasy of animals gleefully strolling through the fields and having a happy life before they are slaughtered but it's bullshit.

@Schizophonia No, plants do not contain: -B12 -D3 (an exogenous source is important if you live outside the equator) -EPA/DHA -Taurine -L-carnitine -Iodine (except if you regularly eat seaweed, and there is no archaeological evidence that this is something "natural" for humans). All of these things can be found in supplementation or fortified options. So it doesn't matter.

But Vegans would argue that if you don't need to eat the animals, then their slaughter is completely unnecessary so it's unnecessary animal exploitation/killing purely for pleasure/convenience rather than need?

I've recently been suffering with more anxiety and restlessness. My life is going by completely normal, but I've been taking a supplement Veg1 recently which includes b12, b6, b2, folic acid, iodine. It has quite high levels of vitamin b12. I've done research which states this sort of supplement can act as a stimulant. Anyone advice? I've stopped taking it, but after a couple of days off I still feel a bit restless, irritable and anxious.

Get a decent job that will pay the bills, write books on the side.

Veg1 is the one i'm taking but the cover of mine looks different . And yeah I'm always usually obsessed with making almost anything I consume natural because I assume unnatural options have side effects, this just reconfirmed by suspicions. I feel like such a FUCKING IDIOT for taking it tbh, but never mind. I hope I haven't caused myself permanent damage, but I only took about 15-20 of them over the course of about 3-4 weeks.

I hope you get better soon. My supplement had 1000% of my RDA of b12 and 400% Vitamin D. I'm just hoping it wears off it's been a few days and I still don't feel great.

Mike Tyson is on youtube. But the answer to the question is I dunno. I think if they previously used platforms to groom then yes they should be banned.

Rofl, you consume too much energy and don't burn it, it gets stored as fat. People consume foods that are high in calories, low in nutrient density so they don't get energised and full off fewer calories.

Once you reduce your base level of stress and anxiety, getting out of your own head becomes easier. Reducing cortisol is the goal Look at - Diets impact on stress hormones - No alcohol, no caffeine - Better sleep - Exercise - Relaxation techniques - Avoiding toxic people and internet sites when you can. Hope this helps.

Already done, they said I was fine. They told me I should may be go for blood tests, which i likely will do, although my diet is the same as it has been for years when I got my bloods done last time and I was fine.

Hi. So I was a big hiker, but around 2022 I went through some difficult life issues and couldn't hike for about 15 months up until recently. Last week I went on a hiking holiday, where I did a similar amount of distance/effort as I used to before my long break for over a year. I felt like I had the endurance to do it, I wasn't that tired, but every day I was getting, at times, very tight chested, elevated heart rate when resting and waking up in the middle of the night with elevated heart rate, tight chest, higher anxiety, racing thoughts. Could it be that I've done too much too soon? A lot of people I know have told me to go to get a doctors appoint as tight chest + random elevation in heart rate even when resting is a concern. Why is this happening though? Why am I experiencing these symptoms even though I still have the stamina to do the exercise? I still can do the exercise, I don't even get that tired.

My life is going by fine now, my mental health was ok, but there's a direct correlation between me starting to exercise again and me feeling irritable/depressed.
