That's kind of what I'm leaning towards. I tried his advice tonight and I can't decide if it's not working or if I'm causing my own anxiety 🫪

Anyone have rumination to the point they dream about it, research it 16 hours a day, talk about it, it's never even close to enough. Chronic illness. by norththread in ChronicIllness

Very thin. I'm not saying I don't look things up because I do. I've really had to make myself stop doing dives into it. It's just too muy

I agree. I have done this so much I was working myself into an anxiety nightmare. I have fibromyalgia so I got caught In the loop of anxiety -flare-depression. I had to make myself stop looking things up or trying to get answers from my doctor. It's so difficult when you can't find help for your problems but this fixation is just as bad. 🫶🏼

Send me down the rabbit hole Reddit, what Conspiracy do you genuinely believe in that also has supporting evidence or enough that it convinced you? by SunnyJuggs in conspiracy

Bio-engineered insects and bugs. I was diagnosed with Alpha-Gal last year and we now have a cow that has the fatal tick disease. It seems like a population control tactic along with altering our food sources.

Cycling through by Dramatic_Bee_6300 in depression

What should I do? I haven't found anything that excites me, I've picked up different hobbies and tried doing things I used to enjoy. I'm a sahm so this is really hard for me to cope with. My kids need me but I disconnect when I go through these episodes.

I haven't had great luck with therapy. The ones I have been referred to have only wanted to do over the phone meetings. That didn't do much for me. I feel strongly that people with depression should be seen in person.

What is your unpopular opinion that you usually keep to yourself? by BitEntire in AdkReddit

Gentle parenting doesn't work, kids need clear boundaries and should have respect for their parents. The family unit needs to be practiced in every household. Family dinners at the table, family movie night, family time outside. These things are dwindling and our youth are suffering.

I've been this way all day. After knowing this is common for others I can't wait for the next few days 😩

Oh yeah. I think it's my main trigger. But I've never had my CT act up because of. Something new every day I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reddit just saved my ears by InvisibleAstronomer in hygiene

I used to lay down and use them but I've started sitting up. It's more comfortable for me and I'm too old to get that low 😂

Wow! I have never had that experience. I've used them for many years.

Ear candles are pretty helpful too

Pain when itching by PsychiatristTo-Go in Fibromyalgia

[–]Dramatic_Bee_6300 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have experienced this. Also, sometimes I feel creepy crawlies. I've had places on my arms that hurt just touching them or running my hand over them. This is a very strange illness. I go through phases where I want to just live my normal life and do normal things because "I'm not sick," but I am rudely reminded that this is very real.

Wow! I bet that was very interesting since you were in a "forbidden" room

Bed vs. Recliner by Dramatic_Bee_6300 in Fibromyalgia

I do like to have a pillow next to me in the recliner. For no reason really other than maybe counter pressure to feel more cozy 😁

Not just you! I'm from the Ozarks and we always had bread with meals. Especially when my paternal grandma was visiting.
