Staging your meals around complete proteins is also completely unnecessary as long as your diet is even somewhat varied. Your body doesn’t need to get every amino acid at the same time to be able to make proteins.

lol, sorry for misinterpreting it!

Medication and therapy were life changers for me. You may not find the right med or the right therapist on your first (second, third, etc) attempts, but I’m glad I kept pursuing both. Medication doesn’t have to be permanent, but if you’re like me and your baseline is incredibly anxious and has been since you were small then you might just need it.

If you’re LGBTQ+, definitely consider therapy with someone through an LGBT health center if you can. If there isn’t one near you, teletherapy has made it way easier to find competent LGBTQ+ positive therapists.

The way some people in this thread are responding to the issue of elder poverty is so nasty. “Well they should have just bought a house when they were younger and since they’re old it’s probably their own fault anyway” is some shit I’d expect to see out of conservatives. There are SO many reasons an elderly person may be living in poverty, and none of them mean they don’t deserve secure housing and food.
