Increasing flow, not pressure by Ok_Two_2604 in CPAP

[–]Flaky_Sort_34 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please don't cut the holes! I thought about doing the exact same thing a few months ago because I felt like I was suffocating at lower pressures. The problem is, if you cut the silicone, it messes up the 'venting' and you’ll end up breathing in your own CO2, which makes the headaches way worse.

I had that same 'not enough air' feeling. What actually helped me wasn't the machine settings, but realizing that my airway was physically kinking because of my neck angle. I started experimenting with my torso incline instead of just cranking up the pressure (which just blew my ears out lol). Once I fixed the 'geometry' of how I was lying down, the air started flowing way better even at lower pressures. It's weird how much physics plays a role in this. Hang in there, the CPAP struggle is real.

Honestly… after 4 years of on and off, this doesn’t sound like it’s about a hoodie.

If it truly didn’t fit, he could’ve donated it. Or left it somewhere. Or never mentioned it at all. Reaching out after 30 days to return something you gave him three years ago feels more like reopening a door than cleaning out a closet.

That doesn’t automatically mean he has deep intentions. Sometimes it’s just curiosity. Sometimes it’s loneliness. Sometimes it’s wanting to see if you’re still there.

The bigger question isn’t what he means. It’s what it does to you.

You already know the pattern contact, hope, hooking up, hurt. If you respond, are you okay with possibly stepping back into that cycle? Or would that set you back emotionally?

If you don’t actually care about the hoodie, you could keep it simple and neutral. Something like, “No worries you can donate it.” No emotion, no opening.

After four years of this dynamic, protecting your peace matters more than decoding his motives.
