Btw there's a difference between thick oats as nature intended vs roled or quick oats. Make sure you're not getting the crappy processed shit.

Why not eat them with Milk?

I've spent the last 8 years dealing with this. I've gotten better with improvements in diet, exercise, making sure I'm meeting my nutritional requirements, reinvented myself, improved my lifestyle, improved self awareness, meditation etc. No alcohol, no recreational drugs. Never taken a psychedelic or mental health medication in my life. These things definitely help, but it's like a switch flipped in me 8 years ago, and even though I've improved the symptoms, I never seem to be able to fully recover. I don't feel suicidal or that depressed, I can take some satisfaction from things, but I feel emotionally flat, low motivation and a diminished capacity for satisfaction. If this is as good as it gets I should be able to accept it because it's not too bad, but part of me at times gets memories of how I used to feel, I cannot help but miss it and want to feel more things again. I've seen a therapist and they just told me I was functioning fine and they couldn't see anything wrong except do more. I've forced myself to socialise more but although I enjoy it sometimes it doesn't change the default flatness. The only thing I can think that I haven't tried is medications, but I'm not sure I'm suffering enough to warrant taking the risk of permanent damage and side effects. If I was ever seriously suicidal, I'd consider it though, but the improvements in my symptoms have made it so I'm not often suicidal and actually enjoy certain things again, but it's sad that a lot of things that I used to really love now just make me feel numb.

What about people who inherit power?

The only reason eh?

You're depressed. Get help. Your thoughts about life are being contaminated by your depression.
-
Rofl and you wonder why? Eat a healthy diet.

News flash, you don't need acquire God Realisation to be happy in life.

Depends on the kind, but it's nutritious.

Bad boys are not necessarily attractive because they're bad, they're more attractive than men who are too nice, but you can avoid being a bad boy or a nice guy, just be a good person who isn't a pushover.

Nah the protocol is to actually know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to nutrition and literally google sources of iron and add them to your diet. Are some of you incapable of formulating a basic meal planner? It's not hard. Sorry to get annoyed but all these Anti vegan posts annoy me when they;re coming from people who don't know what the fuck they're talking about and have never done considerable research into it.
-
Rofl, there is no reason you have to be anaemic on a vegan diet. If you're going to criticize a vegan diet at least do your research. This girl could have health issues that hinder absorption of things like Iron, or she may have just made bad choices. So many Anti-vegan people are so incredibly uninformed it's laughable.

You're depressed. If you weren't, those activities would generate feeling and thus they wouldn't feel so pointless.

Can someone PLEASE explain to me why this retarded meat head is so fucking admired and famous? He's successful and gets girls.... how many examples of this are there already though?

It could also be that he suffers from health issues where depression is a common symptom. -
I really fail to see why they cannot be extremely efficient and profitable and also offer employees a decent living wage.

So? A lot of these children will be underfed and malnourished. When I say needs I don't mean simply surviving, I mean adequately cared for. Needs aren't all short time survival needs.
-
Many people cannot afford to meet their own needs, never mind a childs.

non-dairy milks I mean.

This is a person that doesn't care about what's accurate and just wants to reinforce pre-existing convictions. And this guy has told me to be mindful of my own biases and paradigms many times in the past, yet doesn't follow his own advice, so take anything @integral says on this subject with a pinch of salt, he knows nothing about veganism. He just wants to keep finding excuses to stay as he is because he's too used to his current lifestyle. @The Caretaker I've been vegan for over 7 years. Bloods tests fine, feel fine. Have met plenty of people the same. I'm open to the possibility it may not work for everyone though. People's bodies are complicated. The best advice I could give op is to use a website like Chronometer and input your daily diet into it, and should show you what you're getting enough of and what you're not. Try to mix things up, get blood tests if you can to see if you are deficient. I don't know where OP lives, so maybe his options aren't so great, so tbh eating some animal products may be necessary for some people. I supplement Omega 3, but that's about it. I used fortified Milks for B12 and Vit D. The reality is it's a fact that you can meet your needs if the environment allows it.

They don't think it will happen to them I guess.

Allow the science to guide you to what might be true, and find out what's true through your experience of what works for you.

I've seen plenty of people do fully raw vegan and suffer tremendously despite claiming to get tonnes of calories and also meet their nutritional requirements. It's not a good idea, don't do it. I've never seen a single good example of a raw vegan proving why their diet is superior to others in practice rather than just in theory. They all look like they age very quickly around their 30's/40's. I'm saying this as a vegan also who easts mostly whole foods. A good mix of cooked and raw foods is the best. Oats, cooked vegetables, Tofu, Beans, Cashew milk. Nothing wrong with these. Even if it is possible to meet all your requirements on these things, you have to eat MASSIVE portions and it looks expensive, not practical, and really unpleasant also.

The behaviour I see in this video I've seen come from many narcissists I've met in my life. They devalue and humiliate their partners in front of a social group. I've seen quite a few of her videos online, and they are helpful, but whenever I get a glimpse of her unscripted, I get red flags constantly. I want to know if this is me misinterpreting this behaviour, but this person seems extremely insecure.
