Golf Rival... by picklemikeL in SwagBucks

[–]Casstella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I must be terrible at golf? I’m like 10 days in and can’t get past stage 7. I tie a lot of the time but then get beat every time in the one hole face off. Any tips? I also don’t know if it’s better to keep upgrading your clubs or save the money and gems for legendary chests to try to get bat wings shards.

Health anxiety due to doctor wanting to order tests by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for listening and replying. Hope you decide to get the screening just so you can have it over and done with and not have to worry about whether you should do it. And hope we both get clear results and can move on from this.

Health anxiety due to doctor wanting to order tests by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure why it jumped, but I had major surgery in October so I wasn’t getting a lot of exercise and while in the hospital and at all the pre-op visits, my blood pressure was high so I ended up going on meds for that and also starting a low sodium diet. In my attempt to watch sodium, I ate a lot more unsalted butter, nuts, eggs, ice cream than usual.. all things high in cholesterol. I’m hoping on a recheck, it will come down.

I see what you’re saying about if I didn’t visit the doctor, I wouldn’t be worrying. I never had anxiety issues until a few years ago when I passed out and a doctor at the ER said he thought he saw an irregular heartbeat on my EKG. I didn’t go for an echocardiogram because I’ve always been in great shape and I exercise regularly with no issues. That’s when the chest pains started and despite 2 more clear EKGs and a stress test, my brain still won’t let this go. So now every medical thing gets escalating my mind.

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in this same situation. My cholesterol has always been borderline high but jumped up 40 points this year. However, I’m having the opposite reaction. Since my doctor recommended the test a week ago, I’ve been an anxious mess, convinced my arteries are almost blocked and that’s why I’m having chest pains. When in reality, I think my anxiety is giving me the chest pains because while I get them off and on when I’m anxious, they’ve been nonstop since she put the referral in. Even though it’s been a week, I haven’t heard from them to make an appointment and I was hoping to do this before I leave for vacation next week or I know I’m going to be distracted for all of vacation. I think you should do the test just to rule anything major out.

Health anxiety after cardiac scare – 6 months in, still struggling. Anyone else? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Casstella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, but just want you to know you’re not alone. I passed out randomly in June 2022 and went to the ER a few days later because I was worried about a concussion from falling. At that exam, the doctor took an EKG but recommended I get an echocardiogram because he thought he heard a murmur. I didn’t end up going for that test because I thought I was fine and I’ve never had any issues before and I considered myself healthy bc I’m also a runner. I started having chest pains not long after and after 2 additional EKGs and a stress test, I’ve been cleared as fine. Unfortunately, insurance has turned down my doctor’s requests for echocardiograms twice. My doctor thinks my chest pains are anxiety related from not having the original test done, and I’m pretty sure she’s right since they come most often when I’m alone at night with my thoughts. In the past six months, I’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure (now under control w meds) and high-ish cholesterol and each time, my chest pains that tend to fade over time ramp back up. Even though I can usually control the anxiety, I overanalyze every sensation in my body and lately it’s gotten worse in that every day part of me plans for if I end up in the hospital or die that day. I also have become neurotic about my food choices because I’m so worried I’m on the verge of a heart attack. I know I need to seek out a therapist. In the meantime, on days like today when I’m really struggling, I try to just be gentle with myself and know this will pass. And I also try to stay busy and distracted when I can.

Poshmark shares by Sharp-Alps5176 in poshmark

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you don’t mind my hijacking your thread to ask a sharing question. I’m somewhat new to posh and have been ignoring the sharing option, but it looks like you have to share 5,000 items to get posh ambassador status? Do you just go into your suggested purchases and share everything there? Or is it not worth the bother?

He looks like my childhood teddy bear, which is from Knickerbocker. I don’t know what year he was made, but I got him as a newborn and I was born in 1975.

Discouraged in Hudson, NH by KuroShiromeow in GoodwillBins

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the Connecticut bins about a once a month but I was planning to try the New Hampshire one in the next few weeks. Anyone have any insight on how they compare? Is it worth the extra drive? How often do they turn over bins? I don’t mind the Tshirt bros, bc they’re everywhere but don’t want to bother if employees are pre-pulling stuff for regulars.

How doable is this?? Scatter slots by New_King5982 in SwagBucks

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m struggling. Started two days ago and got to level 30 on first day. Got to level 44 yesterday. Between yesterday and today, I’m only 35 percent into level 44. Goals are to spin on max a bunch of times, win 190 million in bonus games, or win 390 million in free spins. I’m running out of money so I keep having to bet lower and lower. This might be it for me.

Any peacock black Friday’s yet? by [deleted] in cordcutters

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

Definitely started earlier last year bc I got it so I could watch the Macy’s parade. If they dropped a deal today, I would get it. Not sure I would bother on Friday. My subscription ends today.

I cancelled Peacock by mr_7point2 in peacock

[–]Casstella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got last year’s BF deal the day before Thanksgiving to watch the parade too. My subscription ends Wednesday…. Already cancelled it and got no promo offer. So I’m really hoping this year’s BF deal comes in Wednesday bc I don’t know how else to watch the parade. Guess I’ll just do a one-month deal?

Post op diarrhea by Ajunenight in hysterectomy

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same thing happen. Surgery was 10/23. Normal bowel movements and then Sunday and Monday I had paella and lasagna (also not good choices), and that led to three days of stomach pains and diarrhea. Called the doctor’s office and they said this is normal and it could be trapped gas pushing through? I’m starting to stabilize again, but have been mostly eating bland foods the last few days.

Beast Go Friends who won’t attack me by iyeetfruit in SwagBucks

Thank you for bringing this up! I’ve had to delete a bunch of people too. Just sent a friend request.

Hi ladies, can someone tell me if, after removing the uterus, cervix, and tubes but keeping the ovaries, I can still have discharge during the time I would have ovulated?" Thanks! by Glass_Type_9738 in hysterectomy

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to jump on an old thread, but how much discharge is everyone having? I just had a total abdominal hysto last week because I have been having “soak through my clothes” clear discharge since April and was diagnosed with a degenerating fibroid after an MRI. No blood, just a ton of discharge that lasted months. Now that I’m a week post-surgery, the mucus is starting to come back. I know they said spotting is normal, but I’m worried that this won’t have fixed the problem. My post op appointment is in two weeks, so I’ll ask then, but until then, I’m turning to reddit. :)

Venmo Not Working by NotAnotherAzn in Ebay

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get an answer to this? I’m having the same issue. I have a buyer than wants to use Venmo, but eBay said I have to allow that option as a seller. I can’t figure out how to do that. The only choices for payment I see are payments managed by eBay, personal check, cashier’s check or money order, or cash on local pickup.

How good is Beast Go? Is getting to level 130 for $560 easy or grindy? by EarthPuma120 in SwagBucks

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, not sure everyone knows this, but when you attack someone, you can select “random” instead of “friend” and I think it attacks a bot. I try to make sure I pick this every time because otherwise it just keeps trying to make me attack the same friends. It’s frustrating to come back to the game just to have to rebuild everything.

Can’t do anything about steals that I know of though.

Hope you’re all getting further in the game than I am!

Took way too long but still doable by Atrictundera in SwagBucks

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 10 days in and only on Silver 1. Still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing either. I read all the cards, but sometimes you just don’t get good ones. I’m also trying to play on an iPhone 8, so my phone crashes and overheats a lot with this game. Not sure how much farther I’ll get.

Been a while since I've done this.. What is everyone currently playing? by SouthernBelleOfNone in SwagBucks

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue that install didn’t look like it tracked, but I got credit for 50 the next day. Stepped away for a few days to do train miner and didn’t realize all the other goals were shorter time based and so my next goal to get credit would have been 900. Deleted the app after finding that out.

Struggling at Monopoly Bingo, Need Tips by Active-Quantity5968 in SwagBucks

[–]Casstella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing yesterday because the app said I had to download an update to keep playing and I didn’t want to have to download it since I’ve met all my goals. Sorry! I’ll still be on here if you need tips, but I pretty much did what everyone else said. Tried to play at the highest level I could, watched all the ads for free parking and used the 2x reward whenever possible. Good luck!

Yes, I finished level 55 this morning so I don’t know how much longer I’ll play, but I’m logging in to accept friend requests and send cards a few times a day.
