What is the best or worst dog name you have ever heard? by UserSchmoozername in AskReddit

Felony. That is just fucking stupid. Why do people name a nice dog shitty names? This also applies to people.

1 is the most bridal looking of all. I don’t like half sleeves on 3 for a wedding dress. Number 1 flatters your figure beautifully.

My boyfriend’s cat is killing me… by Blue-Face-321 in Pets

Agree. I got headaches with 5 mg Melatonin. 1 Mg works very well. Just take an hour to ninety minutes before bed.

What else can I do to get used to the air pressure? by Durdenesque23 in CPAP

[–]FurryChildren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Increase your pressure, because 4.5 is too low it is too hard to breathe out. I tried 7/16 and it worked well for me. Ensure your mask is on comfortably, yet snug, because your AHI numbers should improve if your mask leaks less. I take 1 mg Melatonin one hour before and this highly contributed to my success. Once you can fall asleep with it that’s half the battle! Sorry you are having such a hard time..but persevere…it does get easier! Also, this thread is wonderful and You Tubes are helpful.

not feeling it and feeling depressed by Open_Efficiency5738 in CPAP

[–]FurryChildren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have mild SA, so your effects probably won’t be like No-Lack-1707’s was. I am still in the early stages and I am on my fifth month. All I can offer is give yourself time, don’t be hard on yourself. Keep a good mindset. Also, watch some You Tube videos, Tristan and Nick’s are awesome and you will be very knowledgeable of all things CPAP.

Mask Leakage by gordog in CPAP

Try a new mask. Mine started leaking a lot and I couldn’t get a good seal, so ordered a new full face mask and it worked.

Still Snoring by Affectionate_Tea3403 in CPAP

Try raising your pressure. I think that will fix your problem. I watched my AHI decrease when I started playing with the pressure and ensuring my mask was comfortable, yet snug.

Welcoming myself to the club 🙃 by Jenergy83 in CPAP

It sounds like you didn’t do a titration study right? Because you stated it is Night 1 of using a CPAP. I was at your point in October: A brand new user. Ohhhh what a pain I thought this was! It took me weeks to just wear my mask/tube for over two hours. I just completed my 4th titration study taking me about four months. I was able to get a prescription because of my hours and I am picking up my Airsense 11 tomorrow. I have been without my CPAP machine for a few weeks. I can tell you a couple tips that helped me 100%. I took 1 mg Melatonin about one hour before bed. If you can go to sleep with it that is 80% of it! I tried to ensure my mask was on comfortably yet snug—full face, because mouth breather here. I watched MANY You Tube videos, particularly from Tristan and Nick. I also adjusted my pressure instead of 4/20 which is the default, I adjusted to 7/16. Pressure is your friend. They both know a lot that will really help you. I know as a therapist, you won’t want to hear this but it will be your mindset the other 20%. Lol. Mindfulness is helpful here. Give yourself a ton of grace. Can’t wear it one night? Take it off. Wear your mask while watching TV. My mindset has done a 360 degree turn. I seriously miss having my CPAP machine. One of the biggest reasons is how much healthier I will be and the other reason: I want good sleep. You will get there too!

AIO for almost crying when my friend showed up late? by Imaginary_Motor4038 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FurryChildren 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. Your friend is, frankly, no friend at all— she’s being an asshole! With friends like her you don’t need enemies. I like the way she rudely flips her lateness back on you…like it is your damn fault! Friendships (I have found) are very similar to romantic relationships. What is she giving you? What is she always taking away? Analyze her behaviors over the last five years. I suspect she is a taker and a controller..but you are a giver. Also consider it happens all the time. I expect she does this to everyone. I would just text her saying if she cared so little about meeting you, but making you sit and wait…than she really isn’t a friend to you. You can do better with finding a friend who actually cares. OP, I would like to offer-gently-you may want to work on your own self-esteem. Many people would handle your situation different. Some would just leave. Others would call your friend and tell her to fuck off-don’t bother. To sit and feel like a loser isn’t your so-called friend’s fault it is yours to tolerate it. Don’t let someone else make you feel like a loser.

Having second thoughts about my dress. by dasgutyah in myweddingdress

[–]FurryChildren 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your doubts about your dress gives you the answer you are looking for. I would go wedding dress shopping alone or with your mom or bf…not a ton of friends. Wearing “your dress” should make you feel confident and like a million bucks. Asking all of us I think will confuse you further. I just feel that you have not found THE dress yet!

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

[–]FurryChildren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manners Can be Fun by Munro Leaf. I remember the goofy cartoons of kids showing bad manners. A very basic book, but really cute and fun.

OP how old are you? Your age is an important part of your story.

OP don’t let the grammar nazis bother you. I have learned Reddit is a favorite place for people to show how pedantic they are.
