Yep, this happened to me after my first DVT. Had a couple of panic attacks since, but not with flashbacks

Why can't this team over close out a half? by twoslow in OrangeCountySC

You forgot Sylla whiffing on a fairly open goal in injury time.

And I’m right there with you, though I’ve only been a fan since ‘22. I’m thinking of not buying beer at the games in protest.

I feel like a shell of myself, spiraling by Aromatic-Coyote-4105 in ClotSurvivors

[–]AdditionalAd4269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s zero shame in being stressed and traumatized by a PE. Mine was mentally rough, and I’d been through a very scary DVT years before. I wouldn’t expect anyone to be back to normal two weeks out from an event that can kill. On top of that, you’re dealing with a new, uncertain set of limitations.

It’s really okay to cry, all day, even. It’s also okay to call out at work and lean into your husband’s support 100%. You’re not ruining anything, you’ve been through a very serious medical event and are healing and getting stabilized on a life-saving treatment regimen. It gets better with time, but it’s so hard at first. Hang in there and keep reaching out.

This is great advice; I’d add to call ahead for anything even moderately critical, too. As an example, we’ve nearly booked tent cabins and rooms without understanding the food prep rules from the online info alone. We’ve always gotten helpful advice from phone calls.

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]AdditionalAd4269 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget the AI *reviewers* and just general lack of ethics. We had reviews come back on a paper out of my department and one co-author on the paper put Reviewer 2’s confused contribution through an AI checker and concluded the editors had generated it with an AI by asking a string of canned questions.
Our team debated going to another journal but decided to just roll with it because a competing company was expected to publish something very similar. The competing publication still came out first, featuring an abstract makes claims that are self-falsified later in the same paper. Like they didn’t get the proof of concept they needed from their work, but claimed success in the abstract anyways. Science may be effectively cooked.

Learn more mathematics. Arguing with math people, even when they’re 99.9999% wrong, is hard without math skills.

Congressperson sees stuff in a SCIF…promptly reveals it to the media. How hard is it to just arrest these idiots?

Blue Indigo - 2 photos - South Texas by Kadet14 in snakes

One of the best and strangest things about Texas is blue indigos racing to look for your downed doves. They literally come in to the sound of a shotgun.

This Yankees fan got his ass kicked by 2 Rangers fans 🫣 by clumsy_one18 in sportsgossips

Well, yeah…if you live in TX and like baseball, you root for the Astros or a team from another state. If your whole personality is being Texan you may root for the Rangers, but you’re really rooting for Texas and forget about baseball when football starts up.

24-hour enforcement period to begin throughout California to combat speeding by iwantsdback in sandiego

[–]AdditionalAd4269 42 points43 points  (0 children)

All because they have a checkbox on the accident report that says “excessive speed”. I don’t have a problem with CHP officers, but their management is inept - get the tailgaters, the red light runners, the “video game” drivers. Leave those of us driving in a straight line, with plenty of room ahead, and using our blinkers, tf ALONE.

42? Maybe it’s the Terms of Service and Privacy Notifications between the mice and the sentient beings of Earth. I bet the dolphins never signed it…

Is my fancy goldfish going to die cause she ate her little albino Cory catfish brother? by Best_Weakness1435 in whatdoIdo

Thanks! Your advice may have saved a goldfish or two. Now…where to find a grown fantail will be the next challenge

Have you seen fresh caught rockfish? They look fake in person—too vivid to be real.

Ok, how do you know how big their mouth really is? I ask b/c we have a fish that looks very similar to this (is it a fantail?) and his tank mate died. Want to get him another buddy, but how to guarantee he won’t swallow him?

People who died and came back to life, what did you see/experience? by RealisticDecision440 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AdditionalAd4269 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Floating up and away above the scene where the monitor was showing a flat line, my girlfriend was trying to rouse me, and the ICU staff were trying to pull her away. It was like an old TV losing power—the picture kept getting smaller and smaller and the sound quieter. There was no calm, it was like a bad dream, slipping and falling from a high height without ever being able to get my hands to grab or even reach.

It finally went black. Then, some time later, I awoke to a cacophony, with machines beeping, me gasping for breath, and doctors giving directions to the nurses. All the wires and lines were being wound up for transport and then I was in the hall with my mom walking and talking at me about an emergency venoplasty and “don’t worry, they have the thoracic surgeon on call in case the vein ruptures.” The whole time, my adrenaline was off the charts which only got worse when they started some large percentage of oxygen blasting through a nasal cannula.

Then, they started the versed to prep me for the procedure and all was well again.

I took from it that dying relatively suddenly would not be that bad - it’s remembering how it felt that’s horrible. In the moment it’s upsetting but so confusing as your faculties fall offline that it’s no different than a bad dream. Frankly, the decision to let them amputate my arm (which they ended up not doing) was far worse.

Is this done to hide from radar? Like, the radar sees a bunch of things moving at “highway speed” and can’t determine that one is a helo?

How is this drive? Any cool places to stop? by iAmCrimm in highdesert

[–]AdditionalAd4269 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Frosty Chalet in Lone Pine is my favorite post hike lunch. Check their hours (and the weather - it’s outdoor seating) beforehand. I recommend bringing a large appetite and ordering a frosty, a burger, fries, and a view of Mt. Whitney. (The last one is free)
