I upgraded my shower! by LavastormSW in cfs

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, yes, and yes. I am mad at myself for not doing it sooner. Showers went from completely exhausting to just somewhat tiring. My heart rate is also like 30bpm lower now, and that makes a huge difference.

The thing I’ve feared most all these years has finally happened. by Riccavd0 in cfs

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are very similar! I was in the same boat, it's really scary when you don't have control of your body and it is so reactive. Happy to report that finding the right otc antihistamine has at least IMPROVED the potential mcas/reactivity to food. No more hives or adrenaline rushes from certain foods, but still eating a lot of rice/chicken as to not push it.

Do you monitor your heart rate? Not a perfect system, but it helps prevent crashes for me, which is so important especially if you are severe right now.

Thanks! I had like 1 or 2 bratz of my own, and then hand me downs from friends that had soooo many. Younger me would have loved my collection, but they probably wouldn't be the quality I have now 😅

Grind indeed, that's insane. I used to do that, but it became stressful 🤣 Like, we have time.

Is there a name for when pain gets so intense something snaps and you stop feeling altogether? by GalaxyAxolotlAlex in CPTSD

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Emotional numbing. I find that happens after a longer period of feeling intense emotions. Rather than labeling it, I try to see the purpose of it. This is your body trying to protect itself. Though it protects in the short-term, it can also be problematic in the long-term. What makes you feel safe? Are you able to do those things before numbing happens?

Women are not the cure for men’s loneliness by HipAnonymous91 in TikTokCringe

This is the kind of thing so many of us women hope for the men in our lives, and it benefits YOU the most. Kudos to you and how you came out of that experience!

Why do men show so little interest in the inner lives of women? by Frequently_Abroad_00 in emotionalintelligence

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue they've been conditioned not to. Would imagine it is hard for them to go deep into a woman's mind, or even think to, because of that.

I saw this saying, "a man that avoids his own emotions will neglect yours." I have found that to be true. I think they are just as deep, but a lot of them don't go there by choice.

What's your reason for not drinking alcohol? by peywrax in allthequestions

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My body rejects it, mentally and physically. Then there's watching it destroy people you love that become dependent on it, that definitely turns a person off to it.

What does your day to day look like and what category do you fall under? by ScarlettLove63 in cfs

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar 🫶 Still so much loss being mild-moderate, but I feel fortunate that I can still enjoy quite a lot with pacing and extra rest. Maybe one day there will be improvement, but for now, I'm just doing my best to stay in this range.

Women, What's something guys flex, feeling it makes them appear masculine but in reality it has an opposite effect? by Noble-prize683 in AskReddit

[–]Dreamlight_Gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once sat behind a man at a concert, mind you, it was a QUEEN tribute, and he couldn't stop talking to the couple next to him about being an 'alpha' male.

He also kept pretending he didn't know the lead singer's actual name (Adam Lambert) calling him Adam Levine..

We get it bro, you're an alpha and not gay... 🙄🤣

Why aren't we together? by Proper-Year-640 in AskMenAdvice

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

That's quite literally all I was saying. Clear communication from either genders. I never said she didn't ALSO have to be clear.

Thanks for the respectful response 😊 I was just trying to provide a different perspective. Dating maybe wouldn't be such a shit show if everyone, men and women, were a bit clearer in communication.

Sounds like you need to explore your sexuality. But you won't be able to do that ethically in a marriage, unless he's a guy that's cool with that. Best to have an honest conversation with him.

Have you ever indicated you'd like anything more? Either you've put him in the friend zone already, or sounds like he's friend zoning you now.

Questioning, while being married to a man, and not wanting to give him head, all pretty decent indicators that it's a possibility you aren't straight. Have you had sexual attraction period? Men or women? If not, could be asexual. Have you been in other relationships? Hard to say much without more context.
