RE:B.F Weaning Depression?
This happened to me! Both being tired and depressed. It sucked, I’m sorry. For the exhaustion my doctor recommended getting sunlight on my face within an hour of waking up. I guess prolactin has a relationship with cortisol to keep it high while breastfeeding, so when you wean your cortisol is kinda messed up for a bit and it makes you tired. Sunlight helped me though!

Lookmaxxxers flock to r/generationology to defend Clavicular after he gets his cortisol spiked by an SNL skit making fun of him
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/generationology/comments/1s0o3il/gen_z_streamer_clavicular_claims_millennials_have/ HIGHLIGHTS Gen Z honestly is the biggest disappointment. Dunno, I think that’s a title reserved for the millennials Edit: The downvotes are hilarious, I seemed to have struck a nerve on the poor millennials 😢 It is disappointing to be able to look someone in the eye, order a pizza on the scary phone and to have money for retirement you’re right. What in the world are you talking about 😂 I rest my case lol. Ah yes, how dare the Gen Z kids lack retirement funds when they haven’t even been a part of the workforce for a decade 😡and Gen Z making a PHONE-CALL? Blasphemy, that’s impossible. If your case was making the most nonsensical statements, you did an absolutely phenomenal job I must say 😂 It’s not your fault you guys weren’t taught about context clues I forgive you. I’m sure following in Clavicular’s footsteps will save you though. Millennials and their incessant need for validation, name a more iconic duo. Their need to feel special, whilst trying to claim the achievements of generations prior whilst doing nothing but tarnish the legacy of their predecessors. There is a cycle, hard times create strong men , strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men. Millennials are the weak men in this scenario , and let me tell you times are now pretty fcking hard. As if times weren't hard when we were getting sent to the middle east after 9/11... You weren’t drafted , neither of those events so much as impacted your day to day. Your generation benefited from prosperity that hasn’t been seen in decades, the insane tech boom where tech stocks and companies all x100 , for the tech savvy 2 crypto booms , all while genz was too young to even benefit from those insane generous opportunities. What great financial times , offering benefits and opportunities that were not founded based on merit but based on immutable traits xD. Your education nor post grad education job opportunities were inhibited by a mass global event that literally inhibited and destroyed said prospects. Sipping martinis on a zoom call benefiting from already being established in your industry. Yeah man ,,, tough stuff… really had to lift yourself up from your boot straps huh. At least we don't try so hard on the internet, damn son this dude calls millenials 'gay' and 'r*tarded'. calling people 'gay' and 'r#tarded' IS millennial culture lol That's definately not millennial culture. Millennials are the softies who did away with that because it was too offensive. We went from edgy, offensive humour to woke. We created it and killed it. Gen X created it. How gen x of you to care so deeply about nonsense I'm a millennial. To be totally fair SNL has never actually been funny We all know you've never watched an entire episode all the way through, you lack the attention span What attention span does someone need for SNL? Someone with downsyndrome can be half awake watching it and be totally caught up Yeah.... you're not helping yourself there bucko You're the one defending garbage just to be contrarian. Try again. You've used contrarian in the wrong context. Not great of SNL to do a skit of an already extremely insecure young man, exposing him to millions more people Hes hurting people with bad advice, its public health to show how embarrassing he is It's the world's beauty standards that made him this way in the first place, and publicly embarrassing him isn't going to make his mental health any better. If SNL wanted to deinfluence the kid's audience they should've done a skit about how crazy the terms like "canthal tilt" is or the difference between how non conventionally attractive people can actually get attention irl vs how it's painted to seem on social media idk. But making an exaggerated caricature out of one specific, young, and clearly insecure person just feels like punching down. He also treats other people like shit and pounces on their insecurities what about the people he talks shit about? Well yeah that's also horrible. That doesn't take away from the skit being weird One of the most well known lolcows does something ridiculous People under this post "I'll never understand why all of Gen Z is like this one popular Gen Z guy who is infamously known by Gen Z to be a lolcow. Smh. By the way, I know how to access task manager and I'm unreasonably proud about it." He’s not really a lolcow tbh, that’s cope He's most certainly a lolcow unless you're literally 12 years old. No reasonable person who isn't a preteen is taking this seriously Idk why it keeps hiding my comment but here But most adult people do all that without doing meth, abusing steroids, and acting like a fool. I think if you have to abuse controlled substances and be a social pariah in order to have a comfortable lifestyle, you're below 90% population. It's like a court jester applauding himself for his platform as if he wasn't given that platform by the king for acting like an idiot and nothing else. 90% of the population doesn’t sleep around or earn as much as he does though, and I guess it’s cool that you don’t do meth or steroids but it’s not more ‘embarrassing’ than it is to drink alcohol In fact most of the population does in fact abuse controlled substances to lead inferior lifestyles lol Edit: is he really a social pariah if he’s constantly partaking in hookups; clearly his exclusion isn’t by people who matter As someone who comes from a town of like 257 people and grew up next to a trailer park, meth is way worse than alcohol. One is fermented organic matter you can buy at a store and the other is a chemical homunculi that you have to get a prescription for in small doses or buy from some dude named Daryl. Also, my point is that a lot of people who abuse controlled substances still have shame and don't broadcast themselves to thousands of people. The reason Clavicular is popular on the internet is the same reason bodycam footage is popular or videos of car crashes. Lastly, yes. Being a meth addicted whore typically makes you a social pariah. Lol. Doesn't mean you can't get laid. On the contrary, it likely means you're easy. Which he is, man. Idk what to tell you. (Edit: and by people who don't matter, do you mean the people who gave him this massive platform?) He’s right. You know your culture is our’s right? Like, we gave it to you. You’re welcome lil buddy. “Your culture is ours?” I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean. EDIT: Oh, it’s because you think I’m a Zoomer. I’m 42. I’m a Millennial. He’s right. Okay cool. Their culture is pretty much based on what us and generations did before. So, by virtue of stating that we’re doing the same things that generations before us did, you agree that millenials don’t have any culture of their own, got it. Nope, we’ve added, put a twist and made our own mark. A lot of what they’re doing is just copying what we and others before have too. Sorry bro, you’re not getting any cool unc points here. I don’t think you know what “cool unc” points are if you’re unironically trying to claim that Gen Z copies us. I think it’s cringe how much effort you’re putting into this “cool unc” points system. Tbf, this wasn't that funny I don't care about SNL at all but seeing it get under this guys skin is pretty funny I don't think it was getting under their skin. I think they were more disappointed since there is so much in looksmaxing to make fun of, but they choose to do stuff like this It for sure did. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten so defensive. I don't think he got very defensive but ok. Forgot that when I post on reddit it's always redditors who respond Lmao, ok, what do you call his response then? Underwhelmed/disappointed. I mean, they probably get made fun of constantly on social media. It's not like SNL specifically is going to strike a nerve. There is so much in that sphere to actually make fun of and they just made this little skit that doesn't use any of it. They kinda just put makeup on a cast member, gave them some looksmax vocabulary, and did a silly voice. There really isn't much to say in response to that. submitted by /u/CummingInTheNile to r/SubredditDrama [link] [comments]

Women’s sexual desire is more strongly affected by stress, new study suggests. Higher subjective stress is linked to lower sexual desire and arousal. Sexual activity was associated with lower subsequent levels of the stress hormone cortisol, suggesting a biological stress-reducing effect of sex.

Not drinking enough water floods your body with harmful stress hormones. Adults who habitually drink less fluid mount a far stronger cortisol response to stressful situations than those who drink plenty – even when other factors, like elevated heart rate and feelings of anxiety, remained uniform.

Is cortisol belly actually a thing?
I’m trying to lose weight and I’m seeing videos talking about how if your cortisol levels are high than you won’t be able to lose weight in certain areas. I’m also seeing videos about like having a hormonal body type and how instead of genetics it’s mostly hormones that are making your body look that way. Is any of this actually true? I have gained weight in my midsection and I am bloated after like almost every meal. I’m confused if I can still lose weight in my stomach area if my cortisol levels are high. I’m just so lost because I’ve seen people saying that they started eating “hormone friendly” foods and lost weight I know you have to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight but I’m so confused if your cortisol levels actually do anything when your losing weight submitted by /u/Idk738374682 to r/loseit [link] [comments]

9 ways to lower cortisol levels and prevent stress
Stress is the body’s response to a potential threat that may be related to physical and psychological factors. Learn about the role of cortisol in stress and how to lower cortisol. Cortisol is one of the hormones produced by the adrenal cortex. It is involved in many metabolic processes, such as helping to regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels. In addition, it plays a role in the awakening process after sleep. When you wake up, your hormone levels rise, peaking after 30 minutes and then gradually decreasing throughout the day. Cortisol is also called the “stress hormone”. When your body feels threatened, physically or psychologically, your brain sends a signal to your adrenal glands, and they release cortisol in response. This hormone improves concentration, blood circulation, and glucose synthesis – this helps the body release additional energy to cope with stress more effectively. Despite the benefits of cortisol, frequent or prolonged increases in cortisol levels can be harmful to the body. For example, chronic stress causes cortisol dysfunction, which leads to inflammation, depression, and accelerated cell aging. It is also associated with the development of osteoporosis, muscular dystrophy, and decreased antitumor immunity. Chronic stress occurs as a result of repeated exposure to situations that result in the release of stress hormones, including cortisol. We’ve compiled nine evidence-based ways to naturally lower cortisol levels and manage stress. This will help your body to experience a state of mobilization less often to eliminate a potential threat. This article is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be used to diagnose or treat or replace professional advice. 1. Identify the factors provoking stress Threats to life or change of scenery are irritants that provoke anxiety and can become a trigger or stress factor. These irritants include physical pain, relationship or work problems, and financial difficulties. It is, of course, impossible to predict when you will hit the chair with your foot. But some types of triggers can be learned to recognize. One of the first steps to relieve stress is to understand what is causing it. I don’t want to remember and think about unpleasant situations. But a stress diary can help you recognize stimuli so you can be less responsive to them. It is not necessary to remember all the details of an unpleasant event – it is enough to write down the fact and try to analyze why the incident caused you a negative reaction. With a stress diary, you can find practical ways to deal with these situations. For example, avoiding quarrels, learning to build personal boundaries in relationships and at work, and saying “no” in time. Moreover, you will be able to identify hidden causes of stress like hanging on social media. 2. Learn to recognize thoughts that cause stress Reflecting on negative and traumatic events is a trigger for the synthesis of cortisol. British scientists conducted a study in which participants recorded their most negative memories for 20 minutes over three days. The results showed that this caused the participants to have high levels of cortisol. Scientists attribute this to long-term effects on the entire body. Also, the scientific community highlights the role of anxiety and looping on negative thoughts in stress levels. It has been proven that negative thinking not only increases cortisol levels but also badly affects the production of oxytocin, a hormone that calms the nervous system. The mental practice of mindfulness is one way to combat negative thinking and helps lower cortisol levels. Hungarian scientists conducted a meta-analysis of ten studies on the relationship between meditation and stress hormone levels. The results showed that meditation has a positive effect on people living under stressful conditions, but especially on patients with depression and PTSD. 3. Pay attention to the quality of your sleep. A person who has slept well will find it easier to deal with the effects of stress and unpleasant situations. But it’s not just the quality and duration of sleep that affect cortisol levels. What time you go to bed and wake up also plays a role. Research shows that people who work night shifts and sleep during the day are more likely to have elevated cortisol levels. Shift work under the age of 40 is associated with a higher body mass index (BMI) and higher cortisol levels. Cortisol can be elevated due to lack of sleep, especially in the evening after a lack of sleep. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system is responsible for the production of cortisol. When a threat to the body appears, a part of the brain, the hypothalamus, synthesizes special substances that are sent to the pituitary epididymis. He, in turn, sends a signal to the adrenal glands. In response, the adrenal cortex releases cortisol, some of which again enters the brain, affecting the thinking process. This relationship between the brain and the kidneys is called the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is also responsible for regulating sleep cycles. Stress, illness, or poor nutrition can activate the axis. Subsequently, this can worsen your sleep and increase cortisol. Sleep hygiene is one of the deciding factors in its quality. Try to create an environment in which the amount of noise and light is minimal. This will help blackout curtains, eye masks, earplugs. Tips for Improving Sleep Quality to Reduce Cortisol Levels: Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time. Wash bedding and sleepwear regularly – fresh scent helps the body to relax Try not to use devices that emit blue light (TV, phone, tablet) 2-3 hours before bed Avoid caffeinated drinks in the afternoon Avoid excessive strength and cardio activities two hours before bed. 4. Exercise regularly Exercise can either increase or decrease cortisol levels, depending on the duration and intensity of the exercise. Despite the benefits of playing sports, it is still a load and stress for the body. Therefore, as a result of intense exercise, cortisol usually rises briefly, but then falls at night. At the same time, moderate-intensity exercise does not lead to an increase in stress hormone levels. Like vigorous exercise, moderate exercise is associated with a decrease in cortisol levels at night. With regular exercise, cortisol levels can be controlled. And in addition to lowering the stress hormone, sports have a good effect on the microbiota. But it’s best to avoid strenuous evening workouts that will keep you awake. Physical activity isn’t just good for the body – many doctors recommend it to improve mental health as well. 5. Find something to do Learning how to relax is really beneficial, especially if you want to manage stress. A new hobby is one way that also helps you learn a new skill. It doesn’t matter what you do, the main thing is that you enjoy the activity American scientists conducted a study of 50 former combatants who experienced depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or substance abuse. They practiced gardening and occupational therapy for a month. The results showed a decrease in stress and a decrease in cortisol. Think about what activity you will enjoy – perhaps it is drawing, music, or gardening. 6. Laugh often. Laughter is good not only for the soul but also for the body. It is a natural way to overcome stress and reduce cortisol levels. A study published in 2008 found that even the anticipation of laughter leads to a decrease in blood levels of cortisol, as well as two other stress hormones, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. Laughter lowers not only stress hormone levels, but also blood pressure. If you are having a fun and interesting time, you are unlikely to experience a lot of stress at the same time. This is why it is so important to plan your time and visit interesting places and events. 7. Communicate with animals It has been scientifically proven that contact with animals is associated with decreased cortisol levels. Scientists have studied how interaction with animals affects stress and found that long-term interaction with dogs, even strangers, as well as pet ownership, has a positive effect on cortisol levels. In addition, the interaction between man and dog increases the level of oxytocin in both. Pets are associated not only with reduced stress levels but other health benefits as well. For owners of cats, dogs, parrots, and other pets, it is easier to focus attention. Also, animals have a positive effect on blood pressure and help to avoid feelings of loneliness. 8. Add cortisol-lowering foods to your diet. Nutrition affects not only metabolic processes in the body but also the level of cortisol. Certain foods, such as sugar, can increase the amount of stress hormone. Neurotransmitter chemicals are responsible for transmitting signals to the nervous system and controlling mood. And hormones and food are responsible for their production. How to reduce cortisol through nutrition Foods rich in polyphenols can help reduce stress hormone levels. For example, the long-term health benefits of drinking green tea are scientifically proven – drinking as little as half a glass a day reduces the risk of depression and dementia. Eating the foods in the table below will help control your stress hormone levels: FoodBeveragesBananasBlack teaDark chocolateGreen teaPlant fibersProbiotics (yogurt)Probiotics (sauerkraut)Water Remember that seizing stress only provides temporary relief and can lead to eating disorders, weight gain, and blood sugar problems. During times of stress, try to choose foods containing plant fiber – fiber provides a feeling of fullness for a long time and regulates blood sugar levels. Regular sugar intake is associated with long-term high cortisol levels and is associated with a higher risk of heart disease in overweight men. Probiotics The gut microbiota contains trillions of bacteria that are beneficial to your health. They strengthen the intestinal lining, fight inflammation, regulate the immune system, and even mental health. This is why it is important to take care of the composition of the gut bacteria. Among the inhabitants of the gut microbiota are probiotic bacteria that reduce cortisol levels and, consequently, stress. Among them are the bacteria Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and L. farciminis. Probiotic foods help maintain healthy gut bacteria. Dairy drinks like kefir and yogurt, as well as fermented foods like kimchi, contain certain strains of probiotic bacteria. They help reduce stress-induced cortisol levels. Research shows that one Lactobacillus strain, L. Plantarum 299v, reduces exam stress in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). With the Atlas Microbiota Test, you can learn about the bacterial diversity of your gut as well as assess the level of probiotic bacteria. 9. Spend time in nature The noise of the big city, rush, and traffic jams are part of the life of many people, but not everyone realizes the degree of the negative impact of such an atmosphere on physical and mental health. Even a park or nature reserve within the city limits is a great opportunity to recover and relax. Forest therapy is a part of life for most Japanese people. They call her “shining-Youku” which translates to “forest baths.” This is the practice of walking in a park or forest for 2-4 hours, which includes contemplation of nature and deep breathing. As proved by scientists, this pastime reduces cortisol levels, normalize heart rate and blood pressure. Deep breathing reduces heart rate, improves mood, and reduces stress. There is no one-size-fits-all method of dealing with stress – every organism and brain is unique. Good sleep, proper nutrition, and regular physical activity are the basis for a healthy body. Now you also know what other scientifically proven ways to prevent and reduce stress.
