Hello. My psychiatrist recently told me about 'moral injury'--a phenomenon in which a person develops PTSD-like symptoms as a result of having been forced to go against their values, or watch others doing so. Of course the reason he told me about it is because I am going through it, in part...

Hello 👋, I started eating a health food kept brownie thingy, which I got before I was vegan. I didn’t think about it not being vegan beforehand, but I read the ingredients, to reveal that it had bovine collagen in! I carried on eating it so that I didn’t have to just throw it out. I feel bad...

Hey everyone. I've been trying to gather help from different social media, I am desperate for help and the saving of animals ! My ( complicated ) situation is the following ; I'm living with my ex-Plant-Based family, I can't move out because I am disabled and other personal things, I have no...

Hi all, I'm puzzled. Me and my partner have been vegans for 3 years now. His family has been very supportive albeit surprised. Mine, having come from a different country, lifestyle, and culture, not so much. I have been ridiculed, interrogated, and it hurt. We've been engaged for 2 years now...

Hi I’m Heather, I’m 21 and new to veganism. I’m also starting to work out and live a healthier lifestyle overall but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in being an accountability buddy? My husband is not vegan and does not encourage me to stick with it which makes things challenging.

Hi all! I am new here. I joined because I need some serious advice. My heart and soul is with veganism and I am trying really hard to make it work. In November, I decided to go for it and I did a fully plant based diet for 21 days straight with no exceptions. I wasn't eating any vegan junk food...

Hi, I have been vegan for 2 years. But since I move in my new place to live as an uni student. I did not know the neighbour who lives next to me is an extreme vegan hater. He recorded whatever I do in my flat from cooking, exercising and even going to the toilets. I have not realised it...

To start, I am transitioning. This past week I got hives for the first time in my life. Naturally I assume it’s from the new vitamins I started taking. What else could it be?! Today I am 98% positive it is not the vitamins and it is SOY. My absolute favorite non-dairy substitute, which is found...

I’ve been a vegetarian for about 7 or 8 years and a vegan for the past 4 or 5. My wife was also vegetarian and my daughter was raised that way as well. I try not to fight over specifics of my daughter’s plant based diet, even though I wanted her to be raised vegan, I thought if I let go she...

Hello! I decided to join the online community to seek out those similar to me in values and beliefs, and to get support when I need it most! I decided to become vegan after watching Earthlings, and that was about a month ago-- June 13, to be exact. I've been doing loads of research on ethics...

Hey, 15 year15-year-old(almost 16) female, and I am trying to become a pescovegetarian but I am not having the support I need. My mother has been a vegetarian for 10 years but stopped about 5 years ago since she got pregnant with my sister. My mom's not that big or meet eater, but sadly I am. I...

I'm trying to go vegan and i keep falling off the wagon, i get tempted to eat meat or put down about it. Like recently my grandma was putting me down for wanting to go vegan. I also can't find any vegan friends or boyfriends, I'm talking to a guy right now who's an omnivore and I'm okay with...

I have no problem buying wool etc from thrift or antique stores, as none of the money goes to the original company and I am not creating more need for that animal product - is the same true for outlet stores? Do the items you buy create a demand for that specific animal product like it does...

Okay, here it goes. I am incredibly proud to say I have been vegan for 2 months now. Not once have I felt the urge or craving for meat, dairy, or eggs. I have had a few occasions when I'd accidentally consume something I shouldn't, but it had always been completely unknowingly and I'd instantly...

Hello Beautiful people, I am new to this forum, in fact this is my first post on this forum... I have come here to share what I feel without being judged... I was a happy carnivore and completely oblivious to the havoc my diet was causing to my health and the planet.. I tried being lacto -...
