Hi, new to this sub. I've done juice fasts in the past and have seen incredible results. I was curious on how everyone preps for a fast and what they listen to or watch while in the fast? Any books, articles, movies, etc. Or even hobbies/activities to help with the harder moments. Im super interesting in seeing what helps people!

When i was on a juice fast I would listen to Pema Chodron and try to work in a light yoga floor routine. I have a daughter now who's equally interested in fasting and healthier habits but im curious on what I can do with her also? She wouldn't be fasting with me but for inquiring minds, lol how do you explain fasting to children?

Hello, Im new to this page. I wanted to see if I can get some clarity on whats happening with me, and with someone I suspect of NPD in my life.

This person is one of my oldest friends. Recently I've been really reconsidering having her in my life. She owns the house Im in and is planning on selling it, so she wants to make sure things are presentable for showings. The way she brings up the topic and the volatility of her words makes it a highly stressful process.

There are things shes done throughout the years that really make me question our friendship but Ive always put them under the idea of "we've been friends for so long, we're like sisters and sisters fight".

When we first moved in together, we were in an old house. One where the ​3rd bedroom was a renovated attic that connects through a staircase leading into the 2nd room, which was frustrating for all parties. One day she just told me explicitly that I was not to use the bathroom at night and if I needed to pee than to grab a cup.

A lot of weird stuff like that happened. Her boyfriend couldn't stand me. He thought i had a crush on her as i am a bisexual woman. When we moved in the second time (I know), 2 of her dogs got into a lock-jaw, violent fight in the backyard. Both my 8 year old daughter and myself were in the backyard also. When I called the cops to help me break them apart, she came home and started berating me, saying im a "cop caller", that I need to find a new place to live, that she could've solved it herself. Even the cops gave facial expressions of "wtf" and "good luck to you". The following day she gave an quick sorry over text and that the whole day was just "stressful for everyone".

Recently she told me there was a spike in property taxes and that she would be making me pay for. I told her I have a fixed income, I wont be able to take on more hours at work and jobs are scarce here. I told her I can't pay more and I'll have to move. Again she became enraged and told me I have to move out by the 3rd when it was about the 18th of the month. I said no Im allowed a full 30 days to pack my things by law. She seemed surprised that I knew my tenant rights (I've lived in enough slum apartments not to).

She said why are you even moving to begin with? I told her it was the $150 price jump. She said 'yeah but thats happening everywhere'. Later that day she magically was able to have her boyfriend pay for the extra cost. It just came up out of nowhere. So we stayed.

Yesterday there was a person supposed to be viewing the house. We have a group chat with my friend, her realtor, my mother who lives with me, and myself.

She told me last night not to tell the realtor that our garbage disposal isn't working. I forgot to tell mom that, so just as a concern she brought it up in chat. Idk how to add snaps here but I have receipts. She threatened to put the house up for foreclosure if the guy doesnt buy it. She got angry at my mom for my mom deciding that she had enough and called her out on her insane behavior. 4 calls, a string of angry messages, and a threat to kick us out. Idk what the fuck is happening. Im beyond tired and stress.

There is soooo much more thats gone done over the 18 year "friendship". ​I dont know why Im posting this for everyone, maybe a little reassurance that Im not crazy or over reacting idk.
