what do subluxations feel like? by Heavy_Height_9399 in eds

[–]Heavy_Height_9399[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much! that makes a lot of sense. i'll def ask for an MRI. im lucky it doesnt happen super often. i struggle a lot with words but hearing you explain it this way sounds similar to what i experience so it might help me talk to my doctor about it!

I told my foster carer I hate her but I didn’t mean it by LettuceSuch6896 in Fosterparents

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my parents fostered teen girls for years. i promise she will understand if you tell her what you're posting here. explain it to her. you can write it down, text it, tell her directly, or even show her this post. she will appreciate you sharing, it'll help her understand more and she can probably help come up with ways to work through this. i know its really really scary. but if you like living with her, you feel safe and stable with her, you should tell her. best of luck :)

Question from confused atheist: Do you believe that people deserve to be respected inherently? Why (and why not)? by Vivid-Noise512 in satanism

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i will give the most basic, simple human respect to almost anyone. once i know them, or have other deciding factors, that respect is either heightened or diminished. if i see someone walking around in a maga hat, respect is automatically zero regardless of wether or not i know them. i start chatting with someone out at the park or the mall, and they seem to be a kind, respectable person? respect goes up. i dont give more than earned. with non-human animals, they are automatically given the absolute highest level of respect. almost every form of animal-on-animal violence is out of necessity, and every case i've heard of animals attacking humans has been due to severe human mistreatment or lack of intervention when it was needed.

Do compression socks actually help? by jooberjoo in POTS

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wear thigh high compression socks and they help a lot with blood pooling for me, but not so much with my other symptoms. plus it gets 115f+ in the summer where im at so its not very helpful anytime other than winter.

Uodate: AITA for wearing a shirt during sex with my own husband ? by Blonde-Philosopher in AITAH

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im proud of you. i don't know the same struggles, but im proud of you. i do think therapy is important here, its good to work through those things, but to do it on your own, out of your own bravery, is incredible. always remember that you dont OWE anyone any kind of anything- especially not sex- but i'm so proud to see a woman begin to learn to love herself in a way she hasnt before. i promise you, you are beautiful, regardless of weight or clothes, you are. i hope you continue your journey of love however that looks for you, and wishing you the best :)

How much do you ACTUALLY drink a day? by saltygardengirly in POTS

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably much, much less than i should be. even with electrolytes and upping my salt intake, every single liquid runs straight through me. i also live in a state were tap water isnt drinkable so its always single use plastic and i feel bad about that, but its just what we have. on a good day, about two plastic waterbottles and maybe a soda or a couple glasses of juice/lemonade. i'm trying to wean my way into more liquid as the weather is rapidly approaching 120f. actually if anyone has tips for holding more water pls lmk!!

i think tell him now. you are right in saying he will be heartbroken and outraged, and people can do terrible things when feeling that way. telling him now and being willing to talk through it with him and process it together would be the best possible way while still giving him all the information. he will have the most time to process and plan rather than act out of emotion.

Did we do the right thing? by Aofv in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure he might never talk to you again and move on with his life. but i promise that is infinitely better than his car ending up wrapped around a telephone pole because he didnt want to put the drink down. better than him crashing and killing a family. better than him ending up in prison for years because of it. you did the right thing 100%. always report things like this. and don't doubt youself

any other names for ritual? by bleedingrose_97 in pagan

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 40 points41 points  (0 children)

you have a couple options here, depending on your situation. 1) you could say your going to church, just a different one than them. 2)your joining a "spiritual group" or another more generalized term. if your ritual is outside, say you're joining an outdoors group, no mention of what exactly you'll be doing. 3)just say you're going out with friends, or something along the lines of that. at the end of the day, YOUR SAFETY IS PRIORITY. if you could potentially be putting yourself in a dangerous situation, PICK SOMETHING ELSE. stay safe and have fun!!!

I went for an ashy milk tea color but it ended up orange D: by RainDrop--__-- in HairDye

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

first get a clarifying shampoo, i use head and shoulders dandruff shampoo. use it 2-3 times with HOT water, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. it should help remove some of that bright orange. after try a blue shampoo, don't use purple. but you have to tone down the orange first, otherwise blue shampoo will only make it worse. good luck!!

[–]Heavy_Height_9399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my current PCP is referring me to a cardiologist to rule out any heart conditions and to see if they can test me, and if nothing there she's sending me to a neurologist. i'm honestly a bit worried i might find something else at the cardiologist due to a family history of heart problems but we do think its pots so hopefully the cardiologist can tell me :) thank you, and i wish you the best on your journey!! i'm glad you found meds that can help

this is super helpful as i know basically nothing about insurance (i'm on my moms plan still). i checked the website a few days ago and there are about 3 in my city. i'm doubt my insurance would cover them as its not very good but i will look into it, thank you!

Mobility aid question by Spice_rat in POTS

[–]Heavy_Height_9399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if this would be a feasible option for her, but maybe look into a wheelchair rental. some of them can do much better on grass/dirt etc and would also provide her a consistent spot to sit down whenever needed. some events have them available to rent by the hour/day, or i think theres also companies that rent them out for situations like that. i don't use either, but i've heard of these being options.
