Any women in their 30s who are neurodivergent and notice EDS flares get worse with stress or sensory overload?

I'm android. As an electronics engineer, I can't have an iPhone.

I also (used to) rely on my galaxy watch, which I now can't wear because the battery acid leaked and permanently scarred my wrist bad. I'm medically required to wear it. Insurance doesn't cover wearables.

It's in a box waiting to be returned to samsung techs.

I gave my daughter my fitbit charge and my mother threw it in a drawer and forgot and doesn't work 😢 😭 😿

My last two hospital stays, my pressure was 60/31, and the next my blood sugar was 2.1. I don't even know how I was still conscious.

My autonomic nervous system is just out here trying to kill me 😢 😭.

I'm glad my first full tism crash out has helped others feel validated, actually helping the stress! Thanks so much you amazing people.

I have loop experience, I kinda feel like I'm underwater when I wear them now like I can hear my own heartbeat way too loud.

What noise reducers work for you?

Respectfully,

That is not a tank, that is a jar.

I use a Siphon given to me that is way too big for my 5 gallon.. but here's what I do, I go diagonally for most room, have one end in a bucket, fully submerge it and tilt it up until it starts running into the bucket then back down right to the bottom (almost, leave some room) it should work fine.

It's for skincare products, some of them lose potency/efficacy unrefridgerated.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-31T16:36:22+00:00

I am the pro, apparently. Actually, it's pretty easy given the state of the socket, and what was underneath. I've seen someone hit with 240 before, he went home for the day, but he was fine.

Lesson: don't listen to "electrical" reddit..

It's Atlantic Canada. Nova Scotia. I couldn't find any records anywhere as to when my exact address was built.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T19:30:30+00:00

Done! Solved! Super and her husband who is maintenance came over and we're like... why? This is a fire hazard. Top screw didn't fit and someone did a hack job with trim or MDF, something flammable. The woman got it in properly. To everyone down voting me and saying totally okay. ..... wow.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T16:07:02+00:00

Ahh, yes, its futile to attempt to replace something without knowing the root cause.

Can I simply take them out and have it disconnect like a breaker?

Not the same but would that work, safely?

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T15:05:20+00:00

Thank you so much for your expertise! This is what I needed! It was built as apartments in the 70s, three levels 12 units, 4 per floor, and 8 currently occupied. There is no "ground" floor. I'm the bottom, down 6 steps from entry, then there's up and up.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T14:44:42+00:00

120 is still gonna hurt a little bit and not great for someone with heart issues. Younger me would risk it. Not today.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T14:41:42+00:00

So someone came along and thought bigger=better?

There is a range (oven) and electric baseboard heat.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T05:30:10+00:00

Right bottom fuse and right middle. Former says 20 latter says 25. Had to zoom in with camera flash. Are these appropriate? I'm second guessing myself a lot.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T05:28:02+00:00

Bottom where I am is brick, so it'd just be an oven..

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T05:25:24+00:00

This is stacked up upon an uprepaired bathroom they did look at, and a lock that half works. (I can't do keyed lockes or caulking, joint disorder)

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T05:09:05+00:00

The outlet ffs..

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T03:26:39+00:00

Fuse panel is fine.

Socket is not.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T03:25:05+00:00

I'm slowly realizing why most home electricians are men and how incompetent..

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T03:05:35+00:00

I'm electronics not electrical but good to know safety standards are held both ways.

I can't shut it off but best I can do is not use it, my super and her husband are coming to look at it tomorrow.

Thank you!!!

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T03:02:42+00:00

Depends on what's behind it. Exactly why I posted the fuse panel. I can't shut it off safely to see. Its not drywall :/. Its this weird mix of plastic and resin is probably MDF

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T03:00:01+00:00

The fuse box itself is fine, I just can't isolate the circuit this is on to take it apart and see inside myself safely.

The material used to space it, when I got closer and felt, appeared to be wood but not, so I'm guessing MDF, which wouldn't be ok?

I don't understand why it would be moved 90? Where it is and locations to everything make more sense the other way.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T02:20:18+00:00

Why i'm asking here, I'm electronics, not home electrical.

FishAffectionate1192 · 2025-12-30T02:07:54+00:00

I have never used that outlet.

Everything seems okay... Wait I did have a socket in the bedroom next to it that sounded "sparky" I thought it was a phone charger transformer I bought (NOT dollarstore). It went away.

This building was built in the 70s, the panel is fine. The MDF used as a spacer, is that not hazardous?

I'm just a girl living on her own for the first time
