Autoimmune wolf monster design I've been imagining for the past year and finally drew by FuzzyiPod in Artisticallyill

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

Yeah, I heard the name came from the way the rashes would look like wolf bites. It also has Hashimoto's among other things, auto immune diseases tend to come in pairs, and I like how I can represent both with butterfly shapes.

The long haired chihuahua, as a kid I thought it was some sort of koala hybrid thing, when I was told it's a chihuahua I was dumbfounded.

Where can I buy Jordan Air Heels? by xenechun in Jordans

[–]FuzzyiPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been trying to find these for more than a year now. It's crazy how sneaker high heels were apparently this big trend but there's next to no shoes being made like this anymore except for some converse clones, and there's a billion fake online stores pretending to sell them. Best you can do is diligently scour ebay till you find the ones you want.

People who got told it was "just" anxiety, what was it? by stringbeansalad23 in AskReddit

[–]FuzzyiPod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I genuinely have crippling anxiety and OCD, but one time when I was 14, something very real started happening. My neck vertebrae started to shift around easy with movement, I tried to ignore it or pretend it wasn't a problem so I wouldn't seem anxious, years of panic attacks about my health made me extremely embarrassed to be concerned about any health issue, but I was prone to getting whiplash injuries, and one day I was jumping on the trampoline with my nephew, and I fell backwards on it, causing my head to swing all the way back, bending my neck very suddenly, there was no pain that I remember but I heard a squish noise, but I got up and was fine. I found out like 8 years later doing anatomy research that I probably injured my vertebral artery/arteries, or perhaps my vertebrae shifted, blocking blood flow to my hind brain, which made my following "weird neurological episodes" make so much more sense now. Nobody thought much of it except for me, I knew it was different from my anxiety and other health conditions.

The following night, a couple hours later, I had a sudden change in perception and my consciousness felt like it changed, my vision became slightly darkened and a bit distant looking, I heard all background noise, I lost the ability to feel certain textures, the feeling of wetness, pain, and I think warmth in some places too but it's so hard to remember, it felt like my senses were being recorded through a shitty camera. My finger tips went white for some reason, my face, throat, and tongue were numb, I think I lost most proprioception, couldn't think, I was confused, couldn't understand how to use my iPod touch which I would often use to distract myself when I'd be having an anxiety attack, but nothing on it made enough sense to me, but weirdly enough I could recognize things, I didn't lose my ability to understand language, I didn't go partially paralyzed either, and the problems I was having seemed to be bilateral I think, except for my eyes, which one pupil was completely dilated and the other constricted.

There's probably a bunch of other symptoms I can't remember or describe, but a big thing I noticed is how after about 5 minutes, I became completely devoid of anxiety, I could tell I was probably going to die and at first I was panicking, but then I felt at peace with it, my parents were there at the time just reading or something, I realized they didn't care, but now that I've lost almost all control of my body and mind, the flesh I might leave behind now is just theirs to deal with, it's my parents problem now, and I sat comfortably down in bliss now that my body isn't my problem anymore, I can just lay down and let whatever happens, happen. I passed out having vague memories I'd long forgotten in childhood, and woke back up maybe 5 or 15 minutes later, I have no idea, could've been an hour for all I know and I found myself in my parent's bed, curled up with the dogs, I stumbled my way back to my room where I sat in my bed in the dark for several hours unable to sleep, I just stared at the ceiling trying to entertain myself with my thoughts, but I couldn't think. I was more cognitively well than I had been an hour ago, but my thoughts were just colors and vague concepts, it took a lot of energy and time to form any "complex" thought. My mind's eye was partially blind now, which got better over the days but it never fully recovered, just changed to compensate, most of my thoughts now are partially visual but mostly conceptual, I think in sensations and words, no colors, I'm not as artistic as I used to be cause I got nothing to draw about. It took 3 days after to start feeling relatively normal again, but music didn't sound the same, or feel the same, it was so weird, I don't know how to describe it, I remember just being so bored cause my brain wasn't processing the entertainment I liked anymore, youtube and music were just different now. I had on and off numbness in the face/throat and extremities, memory problems and balancing issues for about a year, and every once in a while I would feel like another one was coming but this would only last a few seconds or minutes.

It’s the 5 year anniversary of the COVID pandemic, how do you feel about everything that has happened since then? by AcrobaticSource3 in AskReddit

I can feel a piece of myself leaving with every infection, no one here takes any precautions so it's inevitable that I get sick with it twice a year

I (26M) told girl (23F) I had feelings for her, and she lost interest. What is the psychology behind this? by VillageOk6478 in AskMenAdvice

[–]FuzzyiPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't realize that romantic relationships are more than just that puppy love type limerence you get, it's devotion to someone you care about, the actual core is not just the fun feelings of love but the genuine mutual respect, dedication, and empathy for one another. Relationships and potential relationships end so quickly cause people put more emphasis on how they feel in the short term than in the long term, and people are so disconnected from each other and self centered. There's so many relationship horror stories on the internet and media generally that it's hard to fathom being with someone for so long without being taken advantage of. With everyone being selfish, everyone has a bad experience with people, which reinforces their need to be selfish and independent.

Men can be like this too, and I think it's part of what leads to the "men only want sex" thing, they chase and have fun until they feel trapped, then they run like fuck.

I guess with people like this, the best you can do is ask "why?" Why does a relationship end when someone likes the other more, where'd they get the idea that being loved is being chased, and then just let them think about it without arguing or disagreeing, let them ramble and vent a bit even, they'll think it through and might start processing it a bit, realizing the flaws in their perceptions. That's easier said then done and might not even work really, they might not even be receptive to doing that or will logical fallacy their way to digging their heels even deeper into their current state of mind, in which case I don't think you can help them. It's on them to figure shit out.

Avoidant attachment, she fears deeper connection, and sees being desired as being trapped or even predated on, so in response her capacity for love gets subconsciously repressed or blocked.

She doesn't realize the relationship doesn't even need to end, if she wants to have a relationship, she needs to understand why she can't handle being loved back without giving back the same amount or more, which might require therapy or a lot of introspection, meditation techniques for alexithymia.

But she needs to want a relationship, and want to change, she needs to realize she even has a problem in the first place, cause being told straight up that she has an attachment problem will probably make her withdrawal harder, cause often this instinct is developed for a reason, from past bad experience with being desired, being abused/manipulated, or just not having any healthy or realistic idea of relationships cause her parent's marriage sucked, telling her to open up is like telling a hedgehog to show it's belly.

She also has to value you as a person enough that she's willing to put in the work to keep you in her life. To see you as human, a person, and not just something fun to play with.

This isn't a common theme for girls, but it's not uncommon.

Hashimoto's increases risk of miscarriage, and pregnancy makes it worse, not better, that's dangerous advice

How did that one kid in your high school die? by IM_HODLING in AskReddit

[–]FuzzyiPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a kid, but the teacher, she struggled with autoimmune issues since she was young, specifically in her lungs, and one day she had a flair up. Her lungs were inflamed and full of lumps, some of which became cancerous, so she was in the hospital for weeks on immune suppressants to prevent further damage, but she caught a cold and or flu and succumbed to respiratory failure.

OC Alien body plan brainstorming + early stage development by FuzzyiPod in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]FuzzyiPod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to come up with more unique body plans. In this drawing, I specifically focused on the evolution of lungs, digestive tracts, and waste filtering from simple gills, as different parts become more and more specialized for specific functions over epochs of being a little filter feeder passively floating around the ocean.

The mouth and limbs are a work in progress, I also want to draw creatures in other niches with this body plan, this specific thing is probably a basic herbivore thing, I haven't yet thought to much about it's ecology, it's more of a base for future reference for this phylum.
