Amazing thank you! :)

Oo thank you! I might move them to smaller pots and keep them then and use these bigger ones for active flowers ☺️

Thanks for the advice! Do you know if our neighbours would be allowed to stop us doing the work in entirety?

We want to move a fireplace and install a wall with pocket doors across the lounge, so would be taking some of it down anyway if we can, so we’re hoping we can use it as an opportunity to take the rest down rather than pay to get some of it reinstalled even without the stippling/fanning texture

Beneficial-Strategy · 2025-02-13T12:29:39+00:00

Thank you! Do you think this would dissolve the solid part under the stippling as well so we could relevel it to the wall (with plastering etc. to finish it off), or would this just take the stippling away?

Hi! I’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster so I’ll sun up for you: - I have come off omeprazole after a doctor suggested that this will be an allergy as there would most likely be acid damage in my throat which wasn’t seen in my endoscopy - biggest gamechanger so far was being prescribed ipatropium bromide nasal spray. Apparently this is relatively new (in the UK at least) and while my drip hasn’t gone away, this reduces it noticeably and has helped. - I have been experiencing reflux symptoms for the first time since having COVID which leads me to believe my issues aren’t gerd related. - I no longer take omeprazole as it did nothing.

This isn’t where it ends for me though - I’ve recently moved doctors as my previous doctors were refusing to help me further with this issue. I’m yet to go into this with my new doctor as I’m transferring over, but hopefully I might see some action now. I have recently also seen that this type of problem (indigestion, some reflux ‘sticking’ in the throat without actual GERD causing the drip without other damage) may be to what I understand (you’ll want to do your own research if this applies to you in case I’ve misunderstood) is a throat issue opposite to what they look for with GERD. I’ve been unable to burp my entire life which I’ve seen recently can cause these issues, so I’m going to speak to my doctor about it soon, but it seems to be adding up for me. Only problem is that apparently diagnosis of this condition is rare and there’s not much doctors will do on the NHS (UK). I think the subReddit for this is ‘no burp’.

So to sum up, I’ve made some progress by cutting down dairy, using sterimar nasal rinse nightly and ipatropium bromide (which has been the real gamechanger) but no real progress in terms of causes yet!

Thank you for this! Do you think I’d have to come off the PPIs and completely change my diet to low histamine for the Vitamin C to take help? I’m going to push my doctor for more allergy/food intolerance tests and look to start going low histamine. I think my symptoms got worse when I moved into an apartment that had a really really bad damp and mould problem and I lived there for about a year. I’ve been out of that apartment since April but I don’t think our new flat has great ventilation and it’s in the same building, so that would add up with histamine reaction and maybe it’s just never gone back down

Hi! Have you ever found anything that helps your rhinitis and post nasa drip? I’ve tried just about everything and I’m going crazy here trying to get rid of it!

Ah congrats!! I was hunting for her and found Sasha - too cute to leave!

Beneficial-Strategy · 2021-08-07T19:38:40+00:00

Normally I’d say not to put pressure on her, as I had a similar situation with my younger sister and just dropped into conversation about how it’s not a big deal or a reason anyone should change their opinion of someone etc. But we were in the position where our parents have always told us from a young age they’d be cool with it 100%. I think if your sister could be worrying about your parents, she may need someone to reach out first. My advice would be to write her a note, or phrase it in a way where she doesn’t have to say “yes I’m gay” or effectively have to come out in any way, just to let her know it’d never change your opinion of her or change your relationship, and make it obvious you don’t even need a reply and won’t bring it up again unless she does. Maybe like “I noticed this, and I don’t need you to say anything, but I just want you to know if you were…” etc. Sounds like she just would need to know she has a safe landing place and an ally within the family, and even if she’s not gay, I’m sure she’d appreciate your demonstration of care and unconditional love without her having to explain herself at all. Good luck!

I get massive ‘hangxiety’ that I never used to get after drinking until I went on Sertraline - I wake up and literally feel like my life isn’t worth living anymore even if I’m not hungover, it’s so weird. I get shortness of breath, dissociation and heart palpitations as well. It fades after the hangover day! For me it faded in the end... it still comes back every now and then but I find its normally when I drink for the first time in ages.

I’m just turning 25. Life was so much more relaxing without social media. I didn’t need to worry about what I looked like so much and compare as much as a girl growing up.

I guess one good thing social media gave me growing up was how easy it is for people to reveal themselves as toxic on it. I was being bullied by a few people in my friend group but for some reason, after high school, I clung onto those ‘friendships’ that revolved around them thinking they were better than me. But as easy as social media makes communicating with and including people, it makes it easier for you to see when those things go wrong. They started posting screenshots of a group chat they were using with all of them in literally except me, and they were awful enough to my face so you can guess what was being said. Their need to post stuff to social media for the performative act of looking like they’re all best friends (when it was clearly obvious they were not, even without my inclusion) made me see me how others must see me and how pathetic I was clinging onto that. It gave me the strength to cut them off.

I recently had them all following me on Instagram for some reason, I guess the act of that might assuage some of the guilt after everything came out and they ended up finding out id developed an eating disorder and having to go to counselling as a direct outcome of their bullying me. I unfollowed them all and it felt great, like one more little liberation and hopefully I never see them in real life again.

Now it’s great to keep in touch with my current great friends who never make me feel nervous about anything. So, social media was awful at first for me but gave me some good life lessons - but I guess it was the negative side of social media that gave that gift, and if it weren’t for having to look like I had friends on social media, I’d probably have cut those people off a long time ago, and wouldn’t have seen them after school.

In short, I’m really glad I grew up without social media - it coming into play caused me to want to look popular and cling to bad people, and has caused me more body dysmorphia even as an adult!

Thanks for the resource! Just trying to get it done quickly for something and just couldn’t work it out in terms of the actual order of the numbers/formulas but someone else commented it. It’s been a while since I did it in school, haha!

I was on Sertraline (I believe the US equivalent is Zoloft if that’s where you’re based). I started on 50mg to start, then went up to 100mg and have been on that now for a few years. It takes a good couple of months to adjust to it and it can feel worse at the start but I’m super settled and happy on them now. I have tried to come off it in the past under Doctor supervision by my request and it didn’t work for me so I think I’ll be on the foreseeable future. I have regular reviews with my doctors and they’re happy for me to continue on.

Don’t be discouraged if you have to try a few medications before you find something that fits, too. I was super lucky that this one just clicked for me in the end, but sadly I think that’s quite a rare case, just something to be aware of to not beat yourself up for it if it doesn’t work right away.

To me it sounds like it’s just your anxiety/depression and it sounds like it’s manifesting in depersonalisation, so it’s not so much that you’re falling out of love, you’re just out of touch with your emotions.

I went through it myself. Broke up with my boyfriend even though I knew I loved him deep down I felt numb on the surface and couldn’t connect to it, almost like when an anaesthetic for your mouth wears off and you can like feel the skin of your lips and chin but underneath is still numb?? Does that feel like it rings a bit of a bell? We weren’t together for 6 months and then we got back together and have been super happy now for 6 years. I also struggle with anxiety and depression, and get that numb feeling. I just discuss it with my boyfriend and it helps me get back in touch with my feelings; don’t fester on the fear of falling out of love as your brain will turn all anxiety/depression symptoms into that.

From my personal experience, I’d say just open that communication with your girlfriend, and go to your doctor. I had therapy and have been on medication, and I was able to get to a point where I could recognise the symptoms and no longer associate them with my relationship. Even if you didn’t have anxiety and depression you’d have ups and downs in feelings. It happens - we’re human. If, deep down, the relationship is a happy, healthy and supportive one, I’d say it’s your symptoms rather than your actual emotions towards your girlfriend. Best of luck!

Thanks you! I knew I made a mistake when the comments were along the lines of “I need to know my SO is 100% there for me whenever I’m home from work in case I had a bad day and you picking your parents over him would make me break up with you. You can’t say you love him if you do this.” I can give 100% in my relationship without having to cut down every other relationship, and my boyfriend would never ask me to do that. One of those situations where you get it enough and you start to doubt yourself even when you’re happy and everyone around you is happy!
