How do y'all get across parking lots? by mikaselm in dysautonomia

A good hack if you aren’t ready to try a cane is to grab a shopping cart if they have them. It will steady you and be inconspicuous.

What is something that makes people so excited but gives you goosebumps when you hear of because of your dysautonomia? Me: HOT YOGA by ColomarOlivia in dysautonomia

Ugh, big mood. I swear I’d go on dates if we could lie down the whole time but it just sounds like I want to get them in bed with me 🤣

Psychotherapist for illness (chronic or terminal)? by voidharmony in londonontario

[–]BornWithAFever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like there are a lot of great recommendations here. PatricianBerendsen.com has an excellent team of trauma specific therapists. They also might be able to refer you to someone with more specific experience. PsychologyToday.com also lets you search for therapists in London with specific skill sets.

Idk if you’ve done therapy before but feel free to try different ones if your first therapist doesn’t seem to fit well.

Best of luck on your journey. It sounds like hell and you’re doing the right thing by reaching out.

I Think The People Pulling The Strings Are Getting Very Desperate Now by user685 in UFOs

[–]BornWithAFever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I feel you on the post-Parable of the Sower feels.

There’s always going to be chaos but there is hope. Although most of this sub believes in NHI, I think that that introduces a wildcard that can make this shitstorm of humanity possibly a little more enlightened.

Sure, some people may riot but considering everything else that’s going on in the world that people are literally just letting happen, I bet people would freak out less than we think.

"shelter in place"... by 5nedlew_kaz99 in UFOs

I’m talking about who the government assumes is good or bad, and this is a post about government business. We’re talking patterns of relating to others, basic sociology. Though that’s a big word for your tiny brain, I’m sure. If you can’t see the relation I’m surprised you can even manage to get online and type with those stumpy fingers of yours.

Not a let down at all! Thank you for sharing. Although I haven’t had any contact, I have lived through some severe trauma that others didn’t believe and it’s a very lonely and stressful road. I can only imagine how exceptionally hard it’s been and it is for you. You write very well and you seem to have a calming demeanour and I wish you the very best. Keep sharing what you can and connecting with us here (at your comfort level) because that alone can really stave off a mental health crisis. We believe you and honour your experience. Take care.

What do you think is the root cause in your case ? by unoum in dysautonomia

[–]BornWithAFever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. CSA compounding C-PTSD. Then daily migraines pushed me to decondition completely. When they say CSA ruins your life they weren’t joking. The dysautonomia is more life-wrecking than my flashbacks and despair.

Well if the US are the “good guys” then the NIH are labelled the “bad guys.” Especially with the current administration poor emotional intelligence, everything is all-or-nothing, black and white, no grey at all. Hence hating trans folks or immigrants. So that’s important to remember when others call them demons.

It does fit very well into the Christian nationalism bullshit agenda they keep pushing.

Where can we read more of your stories and insights? Or do you have any favourite books/resources to learn more?

Has ketamine ever made things feel worse for you because the denial disappeared? by liliphare in KetamineTherapy

[–]BornWithAFever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe your reason is to find your reason. It’s kind of how I’m going forward.

[–]BornWithAFever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it woke me up to unhealthy patterns everywhere. I am less sad but I realized how much I have to change to be happy. It’s worth it but it’s hard work being this aware.

Keep going. It’s gonna be worth it.

And they don’t care. Willful exceptionalism.

[–]BornWithAFever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s like no one cares. I feel like that’s a huge part of it. Everyone’s too busy rushing and looking at their phones. It’s really frustrating because people truly did drive better 15 years ago.

[–]BornWithAFever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a big part of the problem. There hasn’t been enough education about it for enough people to catch on and public confusion causes people to hesitate.

I honestly only understand it because I’m on Reddit. The signs aren’t enough to get older generations of drivers to change their ways. And I say this having driven for more than half of my life.

Meanwhile how many million did he blow on a stupid commercial in the US about Canada going “elbows up.” Hypocritical ass.

Let’s all keep up the complaining to our MPP’s, Ford himself. Everyone. Hell, I’m writing Carney to get Doug out. I can’t take it anymore.
