my anemia has been making me super exhausted and emotionally draining all this week and this past weekend due to my menstrual cycle. i’ve been taking iron pills, and eating proteins that aren’t meat (i’m a vegetarian btw). while that’s been helping me, i feel like i need to do more to increase my iron levels ..

[a-suitcase.livejournal.com]

I can relate :/. My iron levels have only just become okay again - and that's cos the doctor gave me some intense booster pills (I also have vitamin D and B12 deficiency so my energy is generally... non-existent). Are you taking over-the-counter iron pills? Maybe your GP can give you some of the intense ones?

[aures.livejournal.com]

used to have this a lot as a teenager growing up, one i hit my 20s i had no problems anymore

do you take a multivitamin? maybe one specific for vegans

i'm vegan but i have very high iron levels, i'm very mindful about my intake and i take supplements, which helps
be sure to check iron rich foods and take extra vitamin C, it helps absorbing iron, so when taking an iron supplement, try taking it with something like orange juice (or eating an orange or a kiwi for example) or maybe take a vitamin C supplement along with it, it honestly helps

anyway, i hope you will feel better soon

Don't drink tea
I have anemia too, nothing major usually, but the pregnancy makes it worst. Nurses explained to me drinking tea will lower your iron level. It's a small step but everything can help

[frequency.livejournal.com]

vitamin c rich foods will help you absorb iron better! sweet/white potatoes potatoes, green/red peppers, leafy greens like spinach... there's a pretty good list here (https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002404.htm).

i've been anemic for years due to chronic illness, and it was so low last time that my doctor actually told me to start taking ferrous sulfate 2x a day, lol.

I'm so sorry that I've been failing to make weekly Show Champion & Music Bank posts these past few weeks. My life has been all over the place and I'm scrambling to get by. Although in good news: I moved to a different site w/ work & now I have colleagues who love k-pop!

[aures.livejournal.com]

don't apologize! just do it whenever you can, it's okay, don't feel pressure! i hope you are able to settle down soon honey! is your work better now you're on a different site?

hi guys~ ♥
i don't really have much to share, but i just want to share a couple of small relaxing things for you to read

past tuesday i spotted the first mother duck with 9 (!) little ducklings, so cute~ it was the first one this year, after that until now i have spotted a LOT, i actually saw 2 other ducks with 9 little ones, but also a couple with like 3 or something so they probably already lost a couple

this morning i heard frogs and toads for the first time this year. in other parts of the netherlands apparently there were already frogs and stuff but where i live none yet, but when i took a walk just now i heard them happily croaking (? is that how you say this lmao) and idk, i kinda enjoy listening to them, it's feels good for me to see and hear nature waking up after winter

i feel extremely lonely and my neighbours have a cat, who is also very lonely (because they don't take care of her)
so over the years we have bonded a lot and lately she's been coming over to hang out with me and to sleep, i finally decided to give her her own place in my room and she's been so content and happy ever since, she keeps purring when i let her in my room and she's just so relaxed and much more happy and i'm happy we can do something for each other (me providing her a place to rest and get some love and she's helping me with my loneliness)
anyway, i just wanted to share some pictures of her resting with me~ i thought you guys might like it!

isn't she adorable? i'm so fond of her, i truly love her like she's my own

(i tried the HTML code thing but i'm just so bad at it lmao, please just click it to view it makes my life easier)

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Kitty is so cuuuuute. I’m glad she’s helping you with your loneliness. Why aren’t her neighbors caring for her though?

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

So much has been going on lately. @.@ I had a huge interview with a museum this past week. I think it went well, but I won't know until I get the job or not. I really want this job. It's a state job, full-time, and at a great historical foundation.

I've also been out on some dates with this guy who likes to suggest we do things, like, not now, but some time in the future. Which I'm not used to. I guess that means he likes me. I'm 30 but my dating/relationship experience is near 0. So this kind of behavior is new to me. He's a really nice and interesting guy. I guess I like him too. Haha.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

*fingers crossed for the job*

The guy sounds cute ^^ are you into him?

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

I’ve been on a huge Carly Rae Jepsen kick right now

I’m so excited for album, stream Julien ✨

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i'm sooo excited for the album. she's coming to orlando in july and i'm really salty that i can't even afford the 35 dollar ticket. :'(

[snowphone.livejournal.com]

i'm done my masters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

CONGRATS

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

I'm seeing EPIK HIGH in less than 12 hours. I'm STOKED!!! I can't wait~~~

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

have fun!!!! i’m seeing them next week 🤩

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

interviewing for a new (full time!!!!!!) job today, hopefully i get it and they’ll be willing to work with my crazy schedule for the next two weeks while i put in my two weeks notice at my current job and go on two trips lmao

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Good luck !!! hope you'll get this job <3
What kind of trips are you planning?

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Happy Friday Omona! So happy it’s almost the weekend.

I started watching both Her Private Life and My First First Love. Both are pretty fun, enjoyable comedies. MFFL has way more attractive shirtless men in the first episode than I expected. 😂

SF9 is coming up!!! It’s my first proper solo act KPop concert.

Also, I got my ticket for Xcalibur with Kim Junsu! I can’t believe it’s actually happening. 😱🥳

[daynr.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking about MYPL, having shirtless men might make me try it. I've been disappointed by a lot of comedies this year, but maybe having low expectations will help ....

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

I'm excited but also anxious for the TXT ticketing >.<.

It's likely the only concert I'll go to this year even if Got7 tours again this year.

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Good luck!!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I've had the full week off and yet it was a shitty week, lol.
My grandma was really tired when we picked her up to go to the restaurent earlier on Sunday so it was a bit of stress. She's now scheduled for a heart exam by mid-may, she's 89 so I really hope the exam goes well :( meanwhile she has new meds and sounds better but I've always been really close to her, and she suddenly looked so older Sunday, it was difficult.
Then Notre-Dame burned down and I have a lot of (conflicted) feelings about it.
Flatmates are extra-annoying, we're really devided into two vs. two (in a four people flat). The nice one (lol) and myself are going to have a brunch tomorrow to speak about the flat without being in here, and decide what we're going to do. But it really sucks.
At least my job interview went rather nicely :) I hope they hire me!!! My current contract end in two weeks now and I don't want to stay unemployed too long.
I was glad to see my psy today to talk about all these issues lol.

Just heard the preview for Fancy You and omg I'm sooooo excited!!! it sounds really good. I think I haven't been this excited for Twice since Likey :') (even though I still really enjoyed releases between Likey and Fancy, I love bubblegum pop lol).

[daynr.livejournal.com]

good luck with the job interview! I am sure you'll find something without all the coworker problems.

[camouflagecat.livejournal.com]

On Monday evening seeing the Notre Dame burn made me unexpectedly emotional even tho I hadn't really thought about the church before, kinda weird when I think about it. I think it has to do with a lot of things, like it being an incredible architectural & cultural symbol, but also it's one of those things you think will always be there and then when you realize it might not it triggers unexpected emotions and you end up prob unconciously projecting a lot of other things to the event as well. My mom is a French teacher and said in the family gc how sad this event made her. Her collegue was there with his class at that time and was the one who gave the first reports to the biggest newspaper in Finland.

On Tuesday I realize it was the anniversary for Sewol, tried watching a doc but for some reason Sewol brings up really strong reaction out of me and I'm close to bawling my eyes out every time I try to watch something with news reports or where the survivors talk about it.

On Wednesday I went on my kpop dance class and we went thru Kill This Love again even tho I'd learned it partly in another class already lol. But the chorus is really catchy and fun to dance. But tbh it's not a very hard dance.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

*hugs*
Notre-Dame hit me really hard to, which I wasn't expecting since no life were lost in the fire and we'll be able to build it again. The flames were so impressive and everyone felt so powerless. We all have different triggers and emotional connections so it's normal.
I watched two documentaries about Sewol and couldn't stop crying :( my heart breaks for the family.

hahaha well yeah, KTL doesn't look too hard to dance so... good that you still had fun learning it :) what do you think about Don't Know What to Do on the other end? have you tried it?

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

127 in 6 days! :D i'm so happy already, just by knowing they're in the states rn and they look just as happy with fans. i hope i can somehow snag a selfie w someone

also if anyone's looking for a san jose 5/9 p1 ticket, i have one to sell

[binderwritings.livejournal.com]

I'm about to go to work but I just got p1 to see TXT in NY!!! I told myself if I couldn't get tickets I'd go see NCT 127 at the prucenter next week, but I guess it's meant to be. I'm curious about the demo tbh. Of course they have a majority of teen fans but I wonder I'll meet any adult fans (without children) like at bts concerts

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

Congrats! I just managed to snag a p2 ticket for TXT in Atlanta! I wonder the same about adult fans tbh I fully expect to be surrounded by teenagers.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

Had an in-depth natal chart reading this week and it was really interesting. I've never been much into astrology minus knowing the basics about my sign but I traded it for a photo session on a whim and it was cool learning more about the theology (is that even the right word) behind it and how charts are read and how your placements interact.

KPOP BG related - Pentagon's stages are always so fun and they try and make each performance of the song a little bit unique and playful and I really appreciate that. Someone on twitter posted the best selling boygroups that debuted in 2016 and I was surprised on the order tbh. I knew Astro/SF9/PTG were all kind of in the middle of the pack for boygroups but SF9 and Astro have both sold more than NCT Dream since debut...thought that was interesting!

[daynr.livejournal.com]

what's your sun and moon sign, and did they seem like a pair that were complimentary, etc. etc.?

[hozrien.livejournal.com]

Ayeee I'm going to see TXT in Atlanta! Ticketing was a blood bath and I managed to get a p2 ticket but later pulled two p1 tickets at different times but decided against.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Ohhh glad you got your ticket! have fun :D

[simplyseasalt.livejournal.com]

To the ass**** driver in the black truck who thought it would be funny to speed up so that the water on the street would splash me, I hope karma really bites you in the ass. Please grow a conscience.

Has anyone tried ASMR? I thought it was weird but now that I'm grappling with some anxiety/depression issues for the first time kinda outta nowhere, I think it's maybe a nice compliment to more traditional treatment paths?

[rembrandt13.livejournal.com]

I actually have something that's almost like the opposite of ASMR: misophonia, the inability to tolerate certain sounds. I didn't know I had it, but some time after our honeymoon car crash (...long story), my husband was whispering to me and I found myself getting mysteriously angry--like, out of nowhere, and I'm not an angry person (yes to depression, though). I found I had the same reaction to ASMR and finally figured out what was pissing me off so much. Apparently misophonia can originate from eardrum injury, which I already knew I had from the airbags deploying in the accident, giving me permanent tinnitus. I can usually tune that out, but the misophonia is a bit more difficult, esp. cos I also have it re: some eating sounds.

in any case, at least my husband now knows better than to whisper anything to me. ;)

But as strongly negative as it is for me, I'd definitely recommend ASMR if you have a positive reaction to it. I don't see why it wouldn't complement traditional treatment, and hey, if it makes you feel good, then go for it! Though FWIW, in my own experience, cognitive behavioral therapy and/or medication can be very helpful too, the main thing is getting you feeling better ASAP!

I wish there was a way to do dark mode on Omona.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

ok so there was just a post on ohnotheydidnt (which im not a member of but i check it sometimes) about charlize theron's eldest daughter being trans, and jesus, almost all the comments on it are wildly transphobic. i've seen ppl over there be very messy but i had no idea it was that bad. i hope the same isn't true of this comm.

[yxerin.livejournal.com]

ok my dudes i need advice

i'm planning a study trip to japan (at genkijacs) this summer for three weeks. what I'm choosing between right now is staying one week in kyoto in a host family and then spending two weeks in tokyo in a guesthouse, or staying in tokyo the entirety of my stay, one week in a host family and then two weeks in a guesthouse. had anyone here studied with a language school in japan? if so, how was it? do you recommend staying with a host family or in a guesthouse/dorm? i planned to only stay with a host family but now i feel like i want the chance to be able to explore the city more freely as well, but i don't wanna do it on my own (hence living in a guesthouse where i hopefully will be able to make friends). does living a week in kyoto sound like a good idea? i wanna experience both cities. i know i can just take the bullet train over like a weekend but i feel like i would then be stressed out and try to see everything in a short period of time.

[shalottlady07.livejournal.com]

Living with a host family is really cool. They may take you to see things you never even considered. Plus you’ll be in a guesthouse for some of the time regardless of which option you choose.
Kyoto is beautiful and I would highly recommend going. Personally, I’d choose one week Kyoto, two weeks Tokyo. And Osaka is close to Kyoto, so you could visit for a day!
