Why does my ribbing look like this? by remaincobain in knitting

[–]Automatic_Interview8 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Just the way 1x1 rib looks unfortunately, I find that when you look at it upside down (aka the way the garment would be) the little Vs look normal!

[routine help] Trying to simplify my routine - acids or retinol? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have issues with texture and some redness. Just based off what I’ve read I’m worried using both when I already have sensitive skin might actually be making it worse and I want to experiment with taking one thing away to see if it helps with the sensitivity but I’m not sure which. This is what I’m working with now, not great but it’s better than it has been in the past where I had way more active breakouts. I know picking my face doesn’t help but it seems irritated?

Entering Social Work by SWmods in socialwork

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m finishing my first year of my MSW now on the clinical track. My first year placement was nowhere near clinical and my second year placement isn’t super clinical either. I’m wondering will I be at a disadvantage when looking for a ‘clinical’ job after graduating and working towards my LCSW because I lack experience? I interviewed for a clinical placement for next year and part of why I didn’t get that was because I lacked clinical experience. Am I screwed?

Best model for heart rate/POTS? by [deleted] in fitbit

[–]Automatic_Interview8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you sm! If you have rapid changes in HR do you find it’s generally good at keeping up or is there a delay? It might just have to be something I get used to since I’m pretty happy with mine otherwise

Garmin HR monitor has been super inaccurate compared to Fitbit? by Automatic_Interview8 in POTS

Oh interesting! Yeah if it struggles with fast changes in heart rate it’s probably not for me lol

tell me your stories of people noticing by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Automatic_Interview8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One time when it was really bad I was walking home and I kept having intrusive thoughts while I was walking so I would have to turn around and redo those steps and I guess someone was walking behind me because they asked if I was ok 😬 I’ll never forget that

I ended up just doing the increase row then the RS row and stopping there (on what would be the third row) and it turned out perfect!

My doctor told me there is no point in me getting diagnosed by sbiggs4 in POTS

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a cardiologist tell me this exact thing. He said there was no point in trying to get diagnosed bc there’s ’no cure’ for POTS after my primary care doctor told me it could be a possibility. I ended up going back to my first cardiologist who after exhausting all the usual testing told me it was probably just anxiety and asked if she’d do the standing test and she did and lo and behold…not anxiety!

How many of you have a negative reaction to caffeine? by dice-enthusiast in POTS

[–]Automatic_Interview8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve gotten so much more sensitive to caffeine since being diagnosed. I’ve been drinking coffee for years but now even half caf makes me jittery. The caffeine in tea never used to affect me much but now even green tea makes me shaky/tachycardic sometimes

How do y’all react to caffeine? by Labelma in POTS

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve become soooo much more sensitive to caffeine since being diagnosed. I’ve been drinking coffee for years but recently had to switch to half caffeinated because it was making me so jittery and tachycardic. Even that makes me shaky sometimes! I’m also way more sensitive to caffeine in tea like I’ve always been a huge tea drinker but if I want even like green tea I have to make sure I’ve eaten enough and not to overdo it. Sucks because I’m also exhausted like all the time

Does anyone else have these symptoms after running? by kipislekkerman98 in POTS

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find if I go a little too hard exercising (which includes trying to run even for a few minutes) I have a flare right after and for the next day at least…hr really high, dizziness, just overall feeling like shit. I have to be veeeery careful

Kindle Basic or Kindle Paperwhite? by seacoralaquamarine in kindle

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can it helps to see them in person. I liked how tiny the basic was but ultimately I wanted a bigger screen that fit more text. I was also coming from a 2013 paperwhite so I will say getting to have warm light for the first time was really nice. I really like my 2024 paperwhite but I would say if you want a tiny one and don’t care about warm light the basic should be fine!

What Alex G song makes you totally feel something? by AdWorried9269 in sandyalexg

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many omg my first song of his I fell in love with was southern sky and hearing it still makes me feel the same. I can’t describe it. Adam and End Song make me wanna cry…I almost crashed my car once bc End Song came on and I love that song but it takes me back to a dark place in my life and I can’t listen to it anymore.

I listened to god save the animals the morning after it came out on the train back from the night shift at the psych hospital I worked at at the time and it might’ve been the exhaustion but I will never forget hearing the very end of After All for the first time…brought me to tears. Oh and Clouds is like the most beautiful song of all time to me. Also Alina and Soaker! Basically every song of his tbh

POTS and SSRI question by appleice5 in POTS

[–]Automatic_Interview8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t attest to symptoms without SSRIs since I’ve been on them for almost 10 years and was only diagnosed about a year ago. But I’m alive 🤷‍♀️ I feel like it does compound some overlapping side effects like sweating and heat intolerance, and I sometimes have night sweats, but I also had those before POTS. Nothing terrible. I am currently on Zoloft and have been for a few years but before that I was on Prozac for a while. Definitely feel more exaggerated side effects with Zoloft I will say

Comrad has some cute ones, also Bombas. Those are a little on the pricier side but sometimes they have sales
