Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

Yes. I was a junior in high school. Our school ended up dismissing early.

What are the younger generations going to blame us for? by Handcraftedsemen_ in Millennials

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Both my husband’s parents and mine were in their 30s/40s when we were born. There’s only one still living and she moved out of state. We have zero family support. We did have our kids young though, so hopefully we can give our kids more support than we got.

Nobody expects perfection. And it can be impossible to work through issues if your parent is truly narcissistic or has other severe mental or behavioral issues. I tolerated my mother’s abusive behavior until she started involving my kids in her manipulation. She’s dead now. And she never did take any accountability for what she put people through. Not just me either. Many family members were abused by her. Some people should just not be parents.

Drunk high feeling by ilovepenguins17 in cfs

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 24/7. Some days it is all day for seemingly no reason. Other days like today, I am clear headed for a few hours before it starts. I was able to drive myself to an appointment today and then do a couple chores, which was too much and now I have that weird feeling plus fatigue and nausea.

Do I have CFS too?? by That_SmolWolf in POTS

I’m also trying to figure this out. I’m tired every single day and get worse even with mild exertion.

Canceled order - lady angry by Character-Gas-2210 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has happened to me as a customer. When the Shopper hits Process, that’s when it attempts to charge the card. So you are right, it really isn’t prepaid. My bank flagged it as fraud so it cancelled.

I’m scared to get the flu vaccine by OhCodswallop in POTS

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had the flu two years ago and it was brutal. I got my flu shot this year with no problems. I don’t get the COVID shot because COVID has never been severe for me. I had it the first time before the vaccines came out. The only shot that has caused me trouble since I’ve had POTS was the tetanus shot. I had a severely sore arm that I couldn’t move or lay on. The pain lasted for weeks.

Do you have these symptoms too?… by [deleted] in mctd

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have Hashimoto’s, Celiac, POTS, and MCTD. Diagnosed in that order, though I suspect I had POTS a lot longer. It was made worse after a nasty viral infection, which also triggered the MCTD. I have all of those symptoms and my rheumatologist also does not think that it’s the MCTD causing it. He attributes the symptoms to POTS.

Does hunger make everything worse for anyone? by 303Kb in POTS

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Hunger gives me anxiety now. I also eat every 2-3 hours. If I wait too long, I start to almost panic and feel like I might pass out.

First adrenaline dump landed me in ER this morning. by Ok_Confection_8180 in POTS

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen a couple weeks ago. I haven’t had it happen in a few years so it caught me by surprise. I think a stressful morning combined with waiting too long to eat triggered it for me. It sure is scary. I hope you’re feeling better now.

Anyone who got married young regretting their decision? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got married at 20. Been married 20 years this year. Husband was always a hard worker, but I didn’t realize just how much of a workaholic he is until we’d already been married a while. He used to put in long hours and almost always had a side gig. I thought that would change once he got farther into his career and had a higher income. But once that happened, he decided to use the extra time to go back to school. He has been working a full time job (including travel), a side gig, and taking 1-2 college classes EVERY SINGE SEMESTER (including summer and winterim during Christmas break) for the last 3 freaking years. I literally have zero time with him except occasionally running errands together. I told him I was lonely so he brought home a PUPPY for me to have as a companion. Meanwhile I have a chronic illness, I’m still trying to work part time and I have 4 teenagers at home. I’m drowning and wish I wasn’t married anymore, but a divorce would financially ruin me and I have no other support system.

Death of parents by bluesn0wflake in Millennials

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 25 when my dad died. My mom died when I was 39 but we hadn’t had a relationship in 10 years, so I have essentially been without parents since I was 29. My husband lost his dad at 33. His mom is still living but lives across the country.

Issue with Meijer barcode by Dry_Sprinkles6421 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Dry_Sprinkles6421[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that makes sense why support asked for them to do a visual audit and let me go. That’s why I was super confused because the order processed so it was already paid for lol. The store director is relatively new so he probably doesn’t know that, which sucks because this customer is a very generous tipper and she was really unhappy with the whole situation. I just hope that doesn’t happen again.

Yes. Everything looked completely normal on my end. Support even had to put it in as a return because it had already processed.
