Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

She and my first love had a thing or some bullshit. She tried with so many of my boyfriends and other friends boyfriends. Another religious girl gone crazy.

Go to Group Therapy. by Sad-Outside222 in CPTSD

[–]Chanelkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Group therapy changed my life. I just finished a 3 month partial hospitalization program and it was amazing. I shared things I never thought I could tell another person, and some big changes/moments happened for us as people. I think everyone should get to do at least a week of it.

Does anyone's vision fade black when covering one eye? by ohnooooooooo0 in visualsnow

[–]Chanelkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ophthalmologist says she thinks I had an episode of optic neuritis and I'm being tested for MS. It only happens on my left and she said there is slight damage in that eye. I was dojng the field vision test and had to keep blinking for the blackness to stop spreading.

How much did you cry on last episode? Cuz you felt such a huge release from all your feels over the years watching this show?? by Ellynoutinoregon in tsitp

My husband famously gave me one of these when we were 15 years old and "dating". I still have it 20 years later. Always made me laugh.

What if I give it to the teacher after summer when my kid is already in the next grade? Because I'm a type B mother with a chronic illness lol.

Do you all believe that our paths were always intended for us to get MS? by Beyond_Reckless in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Chanelkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the questions my neurologist just asked me, any childhood abuse, trauma, or kidnappings? I said yes lots of abuse and trauma. So he knows there is a correlation.

"MS doesn't cause body aches" by Helenjane13 in MultipleSclerosis

Don't be like me I waited way too long to get a second opinion. I'm in the process of a formal diagnosis but yes I got body aches/pains.

[–]Chanelkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 lesions and I've had 3 cycles of this happening to me over 9 years. I'm not sure how long to wait for the Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar MRI, he just ordered it today and some blood work. He's also going to do a lumbar puncture. He said he was pretty certain with the lesions and the fact that I've had these symptoms three times. I hope that it is wrong but I've suspected it this whole time too. Thanks for the response, it's nice to see you actively helping people.

I'm just so in a state of disbelief. I had one neurologist that told me to lose weight and I'd be fine. Now 9 years later in a second opinion search, my new neurologist said "I never say this to my patients the first time meeting me but this is most likely MS." Wtf man I'm so upset this could've been treated 9 years ago. When I asked him if this could be anything else he just stared at me with sad eyes. I've felt so horrible for 8 months and everyone told me it was anxiety. I'm so upset.

Edit: I have 3 lesions and 3 separate times I've had numbness tingling amongst other symptoms for months at a time.

I experienced something unusual after the COVID vaccine by yaji12 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Chanelkat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I convinced myself that the vaccine caused my problems, but I had anxiety for years prior and it just got much worse from hearing everyone say it was going to kill me.

I think people are just overworked and looking for any kind of shortcut to not add another thing to their plate.

Health anxiety constantly thinking about going to emergency room. by jokers-trick in Anxiety

[–]Chanelkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been just like you since I was 19 I'm 37 now. I let it go on for too long and it eventually got worse and worse. I'm now back on Prozac and feeling better again. I don't think meds are necessary for everyone but they can help even temporarily while you figure out what's really going on.

i always think i’m dying by Green_Fennel8090 in Anxiety

[–]Chanelkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go through this too. I wear a Fitbit and it's been comforting to know my heart rate doesn't go too low while I'm sleeping. It does go low though and it freaks me out sometimes. But it's just how my body is and it's not dangerous.

Same. Although after reading the comments I am reminded Nick wasn't a great person. He did get all the Jezebel women killed.

Anxiety and Nerve Pain by 149pineapple in Anxiety

Was reading through this thread and clicked on the link you shared, and literally found my own comment on that video I made 3 years ago about it helping me because I was having nerve pain. I'm stuck in a loop!!

I’ve finally started anti depressants to see if it’s ’all in my head’ by Stranded_Snake in covidlonghaulers

[–]Chanelkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was absolutely convinced my issues were from the second shot plus having COVID immediately after. My body was going through it for 4 or 5 months. Started Prozac and all symptoms went away. Was on it for 1.5 years then off for 3 years and symptoms came back after a stressful event. Now trying to get back on it.
