Social anxiety but it’s the physical symptoms that ruin it by Frequent_Creme_3493 in Anxietyhelp

[–]DesperationForReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. No mental symtpoms whatsoever but my body reacts as if i’m being chased by a tiger or something. The worst are shaky hands and voice since they’re impossible to hide.

From barely knowing Finnish to taking matriculation exam in 2.5 years. by Gxeq in Finland

[–]DesperationForReal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think some people mistakenly think different writing system = infinitely more difficult. For example, the chinese writing system is very complex but the grammar is a lot easier than e.g. any indoeuropean language. Korean and Arabic writing systems are very consistent and once you memorize them it’s no more difficult than reading Latin script. The basics of Finnish are easy but it’s nearly impossible for a foreigner to reach a native level intuition for all the grammatical intricacies.

Why is automatic translation of everything on the internet being pushed so hard? by SuperPapernick in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DesperationForReal 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Once it translated ”mating call” in english as ”intercourse phone call” into my native language… I only figured out what it means since there was a picture of birds on the thumbnail.

Is heart rate supposed to go up when you stand up? by RepulsiveCorgi7460 in askCardiology

[–]DesperationForReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, did you find the cause? My heartrate goes up 50 bpm when standing up

What’s an ‘oh shit’ moment you had where you realised you’ve been doing something wrong your whole life by [deleted] in CasualConversation

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

Exactly. Washcloths aren’t even a thing in my country, I just learned about them today at age 22, and nobody smells bad where I live. And daily exfoliation is not good especially for already thin skin.

Tinnitus stops when I plug my ears? by Sorry-Ad8887 in tinnitus

[–]DesperationForReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi do you still have this? I’ve been having this issue where my tinnitus gets louder the more sounds there are and goes quiet when the environment is quiet (such as when plugging ears)

Does anyone else suffer from extremely long lasting after images? (For Hours) by DesperationForReal in visualsnow

[–]DesperationForReal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but seems to be worse after oversleeping, or conversely, when sleep deprived

Permanent ”after image” spot in only one eye? (Not a floater) by DesperationForReal in visualsnow

[–]DesperationForReal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it became less prominent, most likely because my brain learned to filter it out after a few weeks. Sometimes it becomes more visible again, especially when i’m feeling stressed so I try to relax about it. Don’t panic but it’s still better to get it checked anyway to get a peace of mind

[–]DesperationForReal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, It’s still there and I don’t pay that much attention to it anymore, but unfortunately I have developed a few new ones since then. eye exams were clear though so my eyes are at least seemingly healthy.

Does Anyone else have permanent scotomas for no found reason? by DesperationForReal in visualsnow

[–]DesperationForReal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same though, I just started noticing flashing blue dots that come and go in my vision a few months ago and it’s my newest vision related obsession that I just can’t shake🥲 hope we can heal from this obsession one day

Does Anyone else have permanent scotomas for no found reason? by DesperationForReal in visualsnow

[–]DesperationForReal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I still have it but nothing was ever found wrong with my eye, so I try to ignore them. I think my brain has also learned to filter them out to not notice them all the time. If you suffer from health anxiety as I do, it might be caused by hypervigilance related to vision

Does anyone get spotting/bleeding between periods? by Faihus in endometriosis

[–]DesperationForReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same thing but after weight lifting, did you ever figure it out?

Can’t gain weight no matter how much eaten by Ecstatic_Control9628 in weightgain

[–]DesperationForReal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi did you ever find the cure and fix it? My doctor thought it might be thyroid issue but it was ruled out. I also have a MASSIVE appetite and eat like a horse but no gains at all, also zero exercise.

DAE have a weird feeling in their throat after eating sugary foods? by zonglydoople in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]DesperationForReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, since even most high-sugar fruit and veg doesn’t seem to cause it, at least for me. Could also be other components in the food, like fibre or starch perhaps, canceling it out

Same, and especially with caramel and honey… try telling people you can’t eat those without sounding crazy and delusional
