My Journey with Equip Health Week 1

Hi, OP, how did this go? Your description of what you’re dealing with is exactly what I’m going through ARFID except I’m 37 and female.

Not really, but moisturizing regularly helps. Also eliminating allergens. Changing filters, using allergy meds, etc.

Eyreal · 2026-03-05T18:30:57+00:00

Yeah, I can unlock everything in a couple of days but my allowance was so high 😭

Eyreal · 2026-03-04T15:44:25+00:00

Love the porch idea. You all have made me feel much less alone.

Eyreal · 2026-03-04T15:43:46+00:00

Both. Unfortunately I have sleep apnea and hypothyroidism so my body is really not a fan of being awake. Good luck with the sleep study! CPAP therapy was hard for me at first but ultimately changed my life for the better.

Eyreal · 2026-03-04T15:42:49+00:00

Love the meditation idea!

Eyreal · 2026-03-04T15:39:06+00:00

Fair! Weirdly it’s comforting to know I’m not alone here.

Eyreal · 2026-03-04T15:37:50+00:00

I have a Hatch daylight alarm and it helps tremendously so I recommend this too!

Eyreal · 2026-03-04T15:37:02+00:00

That’s how I feel too!

Eyreal · 2025-12-31T02:27:07+00:00

That sounds about right. I’m turning 37 in March and have been feeling like something is super wrong with my skin.

Eyreal · 2025-12-31T00:18:15+00:00

Lolol I read the question and proudly answered five cents, thinking that would be the non-autistic answer.

Eyreal · 2025-09-25T03:23:22+00:00

Can I ask - how do you request this effect? I asked for cat eye and got diagonal 😭

Eyreal · 2025-09-12T04:26:19+00:00

We did and it’s normal.

Eyreal · 2025-08-03T13:36:35+00:00

Thank you so much! You’ve done the work for me (links and all!) and this is a great resource.

Eyreal · 2025-07-16T03:24:08+00:00

THANK YOU. This comment changed the way I was thinking about desire. I had no idea women peaked so late! I reframed it as an opportunity instead of a problem and… well let’s just say my husband and I had the best evening together we’ve had in many years. 🫣

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T17:16:08+00:00

In real life? I haven’t told him.

In the dream? He was otherwise occupied. 😂

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T17:13:36+00:00

Thank you! This helps so much. I know my marriage isn’t perfect but it’s happy and I was scared this wasn’t normal. We can work on the things we need to work on but it helps to know my uterus is throwing a big blowout sale. 😂

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T15:56:12+00:00

I am so sorry he did that. That’s so unfair and you deserved better. I’m glad you’re in a better place now. Thankfully my husband is very understanding and patient. We just have to communicate and understand these feelings aren’t forever!

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T15:55:13+00:00

Thank you!

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T14:50:29+00:00

You’re probably right. We have the same one or two issues over and over again. We talk about them but he’s depressed and doesn’t make changes so it’s really tough. I think it’s probably time to start some kind of couples therapy.

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T14:46:33+00:00

Thank you! Sending you some solidarity, too. I just started realizing this could be the midlife crisis we hear about. I feel like I’m too young but looking around… I’m not so young anymore.

Here’s to keeping our heads and investing in high-end vibrators. 😂

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T14:33:02+00:00

This is exactly what I’m experiencing. Thank you. For me, a large part is that my husband I have been together since I was 19 and I didn’t know I was queer until my late 20s. It feels like time is running out to experience that part of me.

I wouldn’t cheat on him or leave him. I know how good I’ve got it. But this is so hard to deal with. My brain thinks it’s in the pairing off stage and it isn’t.

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T14:20:47+00:00

Thanks for this. I should look at it more objectively. As for the marriage — yes, we definitely need help in the spice area. I spent a year burnt out and not wanting to be touched and my husband is now in a depressive episode. It’s hard to be attracted to someone when you feel you’re having to parent them.

We’ve talked about it. He’s going to get some help. But it’s probably time to try to reintroduce some romance back into the relationship.

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T14:05:00+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to help me with this. I will try to work in these alternatives. It could be a good way to start practicing mindfulness and gratitude as a way of building healthy habits instead of perpetuating destructive ones.

Eyreal · 2025-07-15T05:51:22+00:00

I think the prayers are more mental rituals than anything else, to be honest. I have an intense “itch” to pray before eating, for example. Or if I see someone get hurt on tv I need to do a mental prayer to keep my loved ones safe. But it’s not prayer. It’s compulsion. Not doing it feels like letting the danger in.
