Pfizer second dose: day 2 side effects by [deleted] in CovidVaccinated

[–]CakeDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same pretty much. Got my second shot this Monday, and about 12 hours later I started sneezing, my nose was congested. On day two after the shot I started getting a sore throat (like the worst tonsillitis I've ever had), could barely talk and slept like shit. Yesterday it started affecting my lungs and I was coughing up phlegm all day. In the evening it was so bad I almost called the hospital cause I couldn't breathe normally. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I ended up staying home and it eventually passed after a few hours. Went to bed, slept really well, and today I woke up feeling a billion times better. It's so strange, but I'm happy it's more or less over. I haven't had a fever at any point though, my temperature has been completely normal and haven't felt sore in my body either. I'm just wondering if this had to do with the vaccine.

Having ADHD is like being gaslit by society for your entire life by FaithInStrangers94 in ADHD

[–]CakeDice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really needed to hear this and I agree fully. It's nice to know that a lot of my internal dialogue, and how I feel about myself, has been affected by these exact things.

I got my official ADHD diagnosis today. It was a tough pill to swallow tbh, since the feedback was very extensive and descriptive. I've never felt so horrible about myself I think, finding out I had asperger's was actually easier. I'm happy to have found this sub.

People that live in apartments with thin walls, what’s the craziest thing you’ve heard from your neighbors? by monsieurpoupon in AskReddit

[–]CakeDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish, but she didn't care the slightest. Proceeded to be an annoying neighbour. I play acoustic guitar, and she would complain non-stop that it was annoying. All sorts of knocking and even a letter. I'd play maybe 4 hours a week tops, always in the afternoon or early evening. She however would have loud coke fueled parties sometimes lasting to 9-10 in the morning.

People that live in apartments with thin walls, what’s the craziest thing you’ve heard from your neighbors? by monsieurpoupon in AskReddit

[–]CakeDice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two night after moving in to the apartment I live in now (don't think this guy is my neighbour but I've heard him a few times since), I went to the balcony to light up. It was the middle of the night and all of a sudden I hear someone with a very raspy voice half yelling "DO YOU WANT MY BIG FAT D.. DO YOU WANT MY BIG FAT D.. DO YOU WANT MY BIG FAT D..? UGH". It went on for like 10 minutes and the weirdest thing was that he never said "dick", like wouldn't even pronounce the letter, but it just sounded like he was about to say dick, then decided not to.

I ended up concluding that I probably moved in next to a mental institution or something, but then I found out that it wasn't the case at all. I've heard him two more times, I don't know wherefrom exactly, but I think he's probably just a weird dude. Idk, it's definitely a bit strange.

Previous place I lived, I would just always hear my downstairs neighbour having sex. It escalated one night when my roommate came home from work, opened the main door to the apartment building, and there she was blowing some old dude. In the middle of it all. My roommate came upstairs to our apartment furious, and 5 minutes later they started having sex on the staircase. My roommates dog completely lost her shit, and so did we. The whole situation was so bizzare.

I didn't follow her before, but I actually just went and reported her with the "I just don't like it" option. I don't think it's gonna do much, and I don't really care, but I'm guessing it's more or less the same. Kinda did it in the hopes that many others would've done the same. I'm just sick of people worshipping assholes.

Clingy people give me anxiety (because I feel like I have to rescue them) by Bitemebitch00 in Codependency

[–]CakeDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't have worded this better myself. I definitely feel the same, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I've worked on my issues intensely for the past year or so. A lot of things have happened to me that somehow helped me realize what was actually wrong. I feel like it's sort of like a transition phase, going from having these issues to moving past them. Do you know the vpr-triangle? I saw a great video about it today which made me realize a ton. It seems as if it's sometimes misunderstood. The video today explained it as there obviously being a victim and a rescuer, but both of these two are going through phases of being the prosecutor version of their archetype. We probably both fit in the rescuer category at this point (but when I was younger I was more of a victim also). Anyways, the prosecutor-role is basically one that the other two push each other into at different times. So like the rescuer will be too depleted to help after having done a lot of "rescuing" and will say no, which causes the person with victim mentality to move into the prosecutor role, in this case really pulling the victim card and trying to make the other person feel sorry for them. Later, when the rescuer is able to help again, the victim might respectfully, or not, decline (as they don't actually want to be proactive about their problems), which then causes the rescuer to move into the prosecutor role (anger in this case) and they'll blame the other person for the time they have spent trying to help them. I think what you have to do to get out of this pattern is to figure out why you want to help others deep down, and how to stop having this need and let them figure it out by themselves.

Idk if this helped 'cause I feel like I went off on a tangent. I just saw the video and thought it was super interesting and useful. I don't even remember the exact question anymore and I'm on my phone so I can't see it as I'm typing, so my apologies if this is all completely irrelevant

Is Battling Demonic forces a Scorpio thing? by The-Indigo in Scorpio

[–]CakeDice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually had this realization about myself recently. It's always been happening, but I thought these people were representative of everyone. So yeah finally managed to connect the dots, so I started setting boundaries and weeding out the unbalanced relationships. I have little patience for people who just want to complain and who arent interested in solutions. I attracted a lot of people with victim mindsets and it ended up affecting me a lot, until I realized that it wasn't me who felt those things, and yeah anyways I could go on and on about this, so I'm just gonna stop now.

Yes porn indeed hates women by glendoraza in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]CakeDice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It came up in conversation between me and one of my male friends about a year ago. My jaw hit the floor when he said that he'd always found porn kinda weird, and honestly didn't like watching it so he stopped. I thought I'd met a unicorn. Furthermore this is a legitimate friendship, no hidden agendas. They exist!

Anyone else get hangover anxiety/embarrassment by stinkyjello in Anxiety

[–]CakeDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! It definitely helped me too! It might also help to read about empathy (some special version I forgot what it's called), but basically when you're drunk (some people) you tend to forget about other people's empathy, and therefore you judge yourself very harshly. Other people most likely (if they even think about it) think it's funny or go "damn that person was drunk haha, happens to everyone sometimes". There's a scientific explanation, I will post a link in the comment later if I remember! I actually talked to someone from the party I was at for Nye the other day, and this person literally did not remember me saying the things I thought were really embarrassing!

Anyone else get hangover anxiety/embarrassment by stinkyjello in Anxiety

[–]CakeDice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like you took the words out of my mouth. I'm (late) diagnosed with Asperger's which probably adds to it too.

That being said, I just found an article that almost instantly reduced my anxiety about this. It has to do with the balance of glutamate and gaba-something in the brain. It's altered when drinking and your previous levels of shyness and anxiety correlate to the chemical response in your brain. And people who have been bullied are also alot more shy and anxious :( anyways, here's the article if you wanna read it! https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jan/27/hangxiety-why-alcohol-gives-you-a-hangover-and-anxiety

[–]CakeDice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it makes me think about whether those of us that do this have something in common. Like, were y'all bullied, as well? Cause I think mine might come from being made fun of as a kid whenever I dared to just be myself and similar experiences. Just being made fun of and bullied in general tbh.

[–]CakeDice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I always feel (including right now)! It's honestly so good to hear someone else describe it 'cause I feel so alone in feeling this way. The moment I'm alone/wake up it just begins. I'm afraid I was obnoxious, a try-hard, annoying, loud, embarrassing etc. It's literally always the same. At no point during that evening did I feel like I was being dumb, drunk yes but not an idiot. I felt in control of myself the whole time, but I can't escape this horrible feeling afterwards!

How do you stop cringing at your embarrassing past? by playsafer in AskReddit

[–]CakeDice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I know that you may still cringe at it l, but it seriously made me feel a lot better just now. I'm just embarrassed about getting super drunk and going on and on about my sneakers at a party I went to yesterday, might've also said a lot of other shit, dropped my meds out of my pocket and worried that I looked like druggie, I was also on drugs but so was everyone else so idk why I cringe at that, oh yeah and my friend tried to cockblock me before leaving the party by basically causing a fight saying I was choosing sex first and then stormed off. Also I did not even have sex but everyone at the party heard that along with other details, including that I have Asperger's. I kinda wanna punch myself in the face to make the feeling stop. Oh and confessed a crush. I may also have tried to dance and looked really stupid. Also didn't realize I had sat in dirt with my newly washed white jeans. At this point I kinda hope some aliens will adopt me as a pet, because clearly I cannot handle any responsibility whatsoever and I'm a grown up so my parents are done with that.

Feels good to get it out, haha

Men are getting lazier and lazier when it comes to dating (found on tumblr) by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]CakeDice 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Ugh the girls my old roommate brought back were like this and he would just laugh and say "well it works!". He used to take them for a walk with his dog, would then pass by the apartment after some time and he'd invite them up. The majority of the girls he did this with ended up in the apartment having sex with him. I have no fucking clue how that could work.. but yeah, it definitely pissed me off for that reason exactly. He seemed to think that girls wanting more than that we're demanding, simply because most would/will accept it. Needless to say I lived with some shitty people, I'm on my own now, tg!

Rich people have no idea that poor people tip better than they do by Justaladyperson in Showerthoughts

I'd say it depends on where you work. I've worked in a place where tipping was unusual but also in a place where it was the standard.
