This is me at age FIFTY now and honestly feel as good as when I was a 9-year-old little girl. The effects of this medication are pure health & clarity. It's not even a stimulant, it's a peptide and it's just pure health, for those who need it for diabetes and/or to conquer dopamine-seeking addictions such as binge eating disorder, alcoholism, nicotine, gambling, shopping addictions.

My body & mind are finally free from that prison and I want to get up & play, I feel so free & healthy & alive.

Many people have noted that semaglutide also has anti-inflammatory properties. It has taken my physical pain away. I used to wake up with horrible throbbing shoulder pain every night, whimpering, crying, reaching for Tylenol, and this past week the pain is gone.

Also inflammation has been linked to depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc, and if semaglutide does indeed have anti-inflammatory benefits, I'm feeling the benefits. Body & mind. My demons are gone.

Woke up this morning feeling spectacular after yesterday had to do another injection because the unnecessary food binge mental demons started to come back, you know after about 5 or 6 days the semaglutide effects wear off so I injected on day 6, grateful to wake up today feeling fantastic, a normal type of hungry instead of how I felt yesterday, already full of food but wanted to keep eating all day.

Because I'm sensitive to inflammation and if I'd given into my manaical desire to eat a whole damn loaf of Dave's Killer Bread slathered in butter yesterday, I would've waken up feeling achy & puffy & brain fog & low self-esteem. I know because I've done it to myself a million times before.

Sure, self-control can be a method of dealing with binge eating disorder, which I white-knuckled through yesterday, but binge eating disorder is a demon that constantly beats at your brain 24/7/365.

Semaglutide quiets those demons, freeing up your brain to live life instead of fighting demons all the time.

Many semaglutide enthusiasts have also noted that it has cured their alcoholism & gambling & nicotine cravings & addictions too. Alcoholics no longer craving alcohol. Gambling addicts no longer craving gambling. Cigarette addicts no longer craving cigarettes. This is revolutionary.

I know this Lemmy Fediverse semaglutide community seems pretty much dead right now but I'm glad it exists because I am a Lemmy girl now that Reddit has 100% most certifiably banned me for life, and the only other place I know to discuss semaglutide is on discord but it's an absolute zoo over there and gives me a headache

so I'm dropping my thoughts here ✌🏼
