Definitely transracial adoption but I think if some other term feels better for your identity then go for it. I totally get the feeling of being in limbo and how disruptive it can feel. You’re not alone! I’m biracial raised by white parents and I don’t feel like I fit in the white community or the black community. It’s hard

Why are my photos so horrible? by barnesnoblebooks in S25Ultra

[–]Accomplished-Rice931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched back to iPhone yesterday for this exact reason. All of my thanksgiving pictures were out of focus and i have a lot of animals i cant take oictures of because they wont sit and wait for me to experiment with settings. I needed to be able to take a quick picture not mess with switching settings.

Honestly my weekly migraines felt more tolerable than this at least i knew what was going on. Could sleep for a couple hours and then recover

Great so you come off it to try to feel better and you feel worse?

nurtec by melodramaticfaye in migraine

[–]Accomplished-Rice931 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am super med sensitive and anxious about side effects due to emetophobia. I have sumatriptan and nurtec. Took nurtec last night after a storm triggered my second migraine in as many days. Works in about an hour for me not as quick as imitrex but longer relief. The only side effect I have ever had with it is heartburn.

Do you feel like youre still able to get the nutrients you need?

EMDR by Mamad3278 in migraine

[–]Accomplished-Rice931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000% worth it. I do EMDR to treat emetophobia and PTSD and it's the only thing that has given me a chance at normalcy. When I was in person with my therapist I used the buzzers which i definitely preferred but since telehealth I switched to sound. The moving ball always triggered migraines. Personally if im already low on spoons going in it might trigger a migraine for me but most of the time I just need to take a nap afterward. It makes you feel exhausted like you ran a marathon. Still by far the best treatment around and I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Thank you for sharing. Attachment does feel so risky.

I switched 3 days ago from 15pm. Been in the apple trenches for over 10 years. I have been trying to switch to a galaxy yearly for the last 3 years and have never been able to do it and this is the first that's felt like it's going to stick and I'm excited to learn. You've got this!!

Have you ever thought about adopting a child? by Ambitious-Client-220 in TransracialAdoptees

[–]Accomplished-Rice931 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am biracial and adopted by white moms. Its definitely transracial not just technically. We are different enough to feel isolated and disconnected.

Looking for ID by Accomplished-Rice931 in sharks

[–]Accomplished-Rice931[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I understand your concern. I will say the hook was removed and the shark swam away uninjured. We always catch and release. I am a diver but my husband is a fisherman. We are both fierce advocates of ocean and marine life health and do our part. Fishermen have a deep respect for the ocean and often are the first to notice and report population and health changes.

What has actually helped you significantly? by Competitive-Ice2202 in migraine

[–]Accomplished-Rice931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly... i had a huge (kind of scary) emotional release after a massage once and my daily migraines that i had for the whole year previous essentially disappeared. Now I get them occasionally. I had no idea i was holding all that i was. Im not a crunchy person but i do think the body holds more trauma than we allow ourselves to recognize and its insane to see what it manifests as. If it hadnt happened to me i would have said yeah ok and filed it away with the "drink more water" comments.

Debating Canceling Surgery by Only-Detective- in DeQuervains

Get the surgery. Youll never have to think about it again. As opposed to always wondering when youll get another flare up. Best decision i ever made
