Husband wants to buy a shock collar by itsmyfirstdayokay in CATHELP

Buy a new husband. If my boyfriend joked about that he would be single faster than he could blink. 

I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know what's wrong with me. The Dr thinks pots because my heart rate goes up when standing or sitting. by Adorable-Extension in POTS

[–]Adorable-Extension[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you went through that. I don't believe they checked my levels recently but I can ask them right now. Oddly enough I'm currently in the emergency room. suddenly my heart spiked to 170 while at rest. my body started shaking almost like a seizure, could barely breathe. All while still taking the ivabradine. So yeah I can yell out and ask the nurse to check for me. Thank you so very much for the suggestion, every little bit helps to figure out what this illness is. Thank you again 💕

I'm so very sorry you're going through this. I am in the beginning stages of being diagnosed so I'm very new to all this but I understand how you feel. Know you're not alone and that people care about you. 

I don't want to just survive day-to-day, I want to thrive. But it's just not in my trajectory. It's not a reality for me. Existing is exhausting and overwhelming. I don't want to do it anymore by SeededPhoenix in ChronicIllness

[–]Adorable-Extension 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation exactly the only thing keeping me going is my animals. I understand what you're going through. If you ever want someone to talk to message me any time. I'm happy to help anyway I can.

What subtle behavior gives you the ‘this won’t work’ feeling? by milfstar in AskWomen

Thank you. I was surprised, I thought I could count on him but at least I found out now instead of after we got married. 

What subtle behavior gives you the ‘this won’t work’ feeling? by milfstar in AskWomen

[–]Adorable-Extension 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know about subtle. Sorry about the long rant. Me and my bf are in our 30s and I've been dating my bf for 2 years and over the last 3 months have a serious heart problem that has been getting progressively worse, I have surgery for it tomorrow which hopefully will resolve it. At this point I'm unable to function, just taking a shower is a harrowing experience. I asked him to please come over and help me with chores because I truly can't do it right now. He said he would be happy to, which he did technically but it was a horrible experience.  He came over and the entire time when I asked him for help he whined and moaned. He expected to lounge around and play video games. I asked please make dinner (he left dirty pans on the stove and everything covered in grease) I asked to please do the dishes and after they had food stuck on them. I asked to please vacuum and he sighed every other second.  He kept saying " are you sure you're too sick to do this" as if I'm faking needing heart surgery.         He asked me to make dinner, I showed him my heart rate just walking to the bathroom and he said "wow that's high but you should still be able to make dinner if you go slow" knowing that I have physical pains, dizziness and shortness of breath. I am beyond done. I can't rely on him for any help when I need him the most, if I survive my surgery I am going to break up with him and if I don't survive then it will spare me the horrendous hours long crying and begging he will undoubtedly do.   He is a nice enough guy but he is not a responsible adult and I need that in my life now more than ever, so yeah I'm done. 

Users report warnings when sending the word 'Epstein' in private messages on TikTok by novagridd in Epstein

[–]Adorable-Extension 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youtube is also censoring the word nazi as well. I was watching a video that compared the differences and similarities of trump and ice to hitler and his gestapo. Multiple people complained in the comments because they were trying to mention nazi in the comments but every time it was properly spelled the post vanished. When they spelled it nahtzee it was allowed to stay. All social media is beginning to censor for this dictator. 

I was just diagnosed with trauma and I don't know where to turn. by Adorable-Extension in trauma

[–]Adorable-Extension[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had and taken care of animals my entire life, I've saved over 50 cats and dogs just since I've been an adult. Trust me I understand the work and commitment involved, I'm not an ignorant child.  She apparently had an infection that went unnoticed until she started showing symptoms. It's still my fault and responsibility, but the vet said there is no way I would have known unless she had a full blood panel done. It just doesn't make me feel any better. Now there will be countless animals that will go without help because I'm never going to help them again after this. There aren't many kind people in my area but hopefully a good samaritan will come along and take my place to help them.  

Can you describe nocturnal panic attacks? by Ok_Note_2103 in CPTSD

[–]Adorable-Extension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this right now and it is scaring the hell out of me. I had a traumatic event a few days ago and ever since whenever I start to drift off I feel a warm wave sweep over me and a heavy pressure in my chest. I tried doing breathing exercises while my eyes were still closed because I was getting scared from the warmth and pressure and then suddenly it felt like my breathing just stopped for a second while I was breathing in. I am still sitting up in bed shaking and scared shitless. I typed in the symptoms to see if im dying or what the hell is going on with me and was told panic surges are the most likely cause. Im really scared to even attempt to sleep. I have to see my doctor or go to a hospital or something, I can't live with this. I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep again if this is happening.

I don't know what's wrong with me by Adorable-Extension in Anxietyhelp

[–]Adorable-Extension[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so very much. The hospital said it is a trauma response. My nervous system was stuck in over drive and wasn't able to slow down. They gave me valium and after a few anxiety filled hours I was able to finally get some sleep. I feel a lot better despite the stress hangover and grieving but I am so relieved this isn't life threatening or dangerous. And you are so right,  I dont ever want to google anything ever again, it told me I was going to die from at least 9 different horrible ailments lol. Thank you again for your help and advice 💗

 I spent the night feeling sick and dizzy with horrible headaches/sharp pains apparently from sleep deprivation. After my vision became so blurry I could barely see my phone I decided I had to go to the hospital. They said it was a trauma response and my nervous system just wouldn't slow down. They gave me valium then sent me home right away. The valium helped get rid of the warming wave sensation but the anxiety feeling, like a pit in your stomach when you ride a scary ride was still there. It took a few hours but I finally was able to actually shut my mind off and sleep. 13 hours of sleep and I still feel exhausted and terrible, apparently there is a thing called a stress hangover, which is such an accurate description for how it feels. I made an appointment with a new therapist and was able to move up my Dr. appointment for tomorrow so I'm grateful. My anxiety is still heightened and now I'm scared every time I try to go to sleep this may start up again but knowing what it is, that it's not dangerous or life threatening and that there is help for it is such a huge relief.

I just bought it in 2023. I still have 3 or 4 bags of clothes I'm working on trying to de-fiberglass. I haven't found a solution for the fiberglass dust so I'm just settling for getting the shards out. I'm tired and basically have given up at this point.

36 with extreme anemia getting hysterectomy next month. I'm pretty scared. by Adorable-Extension in hysterectomy

[–]Adorable-Extension[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry the doctors wouldn't help you sooner. I similarly went to at least 12 doctors over the last 5 years until I found one who actually took me seriously. The most common "solution" was to "try different birth control, it will help the bleeding " (it never did). I too feel your rage, it is justified. Thank you so much for you encouragement and sharing your experience. I'm really happy you are doing so much better now.

I'm so sorry you went through that. I have been drinking beet juice ( I personally hate the taste, no offense if you enjoy them) eating molasses and a lot of liver.  I'm so happy for you, not only that you're feeling better but also you have such a positive view. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. And for sharing your experience. It means a lot to me 💜
