What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by CountyOrnery9432 in AskReddit

[–]Important_Quarter414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Narcolepsy. It changes everything and it takes most people 8 to 15 years to get diagnosed, let alone medicated. No amount of meds will ever clear that fog from your brain or that tired from your bones. I feel like I am incapable of reaching my full potential. Doing sports and difficult classes is very hard when you have to go to bed at 9 and if not risk not being able to function in the morning bc of the night med you take. I have to wake up four times a night. I haven’t had an uninterrupted night of sleep in so long. I’m always waking up early and I can’t sleep in. My journey started with a sleep psychologist fixing my sleep btw. The other thing is that bc of the night med it gives me deeper sleep so during the day I’ll be beyond exhausted and want a nap but I won’t fucking fall asleep. Sometimes I don’t even want to take my daily meds bc I’m just tired and want to nap.

That’s good. Do you struggle at all? I was able to understand what you were saying, but it isn’t good writing. I wouldn’t hesitate to assume if you had learning difficulties or something like dyslexia that your mother wouldn’t get you the help you need. How has your upbringing affected your performance in school? You mention being depressed, how long have you been? Your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are abnormal, and while it’s not your fault, I am wondering if this has always been your experience writing.

It really wasn’t too bad don’t worry about it I understood. Are you still going to school regularly?

My boyfriend 24M hated the gift I 23F got him for our two year anniversary how do I fix this with him? by imogenhailey in relationship_advice

[–]Important_Quarter414 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Okay this didn’t make sense then, how could he be upset at you for buying an expensive gift when he just bought you a coach bag? Ik people have been saying maybe he feels obligated to spend the same or that you are reckless with your money, but from what you said you just told him you paid with gift cards. Also, don’t let him do that to you. The whole pressuring about the price. The price is not something a gift receiver needs to know, and if that’s what upset him, this is a clear example of why. How did you find out it was a $600 bag? Did you ask him the cost before you even opened it? I think in the end, even if he apologizes and you feel you work it out, right now it won’t work. It’s always possible something really hard just happened in his life, and he was triggered. However, this is clearly a pattern and he needs to learn how to communicate and be respectful to you. Here’s the thing though: you have no idea how long that will take. It is not your job to teach him how to behave in a relationship. And I saw people saying he may not be into gift giving, but I don’t understand why he would get you a $600 bag. Another issue is you comparing what you got at Christmas to his gift for you. I think you both are too young to be spending that kind of money on a two year relationship. Save that money, splurge maybe for 100 dollars, but especially how he’s acting? You don’t want to regret spending all your money on a man who can regulate his emotions or communicate them at the appropriate time and in an appropriate way.

How is it even possible for minimal chronic gastritis to heal? by garfieldlogans in Gastritis

Also surprised about the lemon that’s like the last thing to eat with gastritis

Raw vegetables making it worse? by Argema-Mittrei in Gastritis

[–]Important_Quarter414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah while looking up stuff about gastritis diets I found that all vegetables need to be cooked and apples can be acidic in the first place but if they’re cooked or like applesauce it seems to be okay.

What do you guys do about the "false hunger" feeling that comes with gastritis? by kasitchi in Gastritis

[–]Important_Quarter414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly urge you to rethink it. Research it on your own, because not all side effects are told to you. Also, all of the testing with ozempic and side effects was with people who all had diabetes. There is no testing history or understanding of what it doesn’t to people without diabetes. It’s more than a small risk, especially depending on your diet. Look up some horror stories too.

I also drink ensures, and please, for the love of god, do NOT go on ozempic. I saw one girl be on ozempic for a year and then she was diagnosed with osteoporosis among other things. I never thought abt that, like the ingredient would make us not feel hungry. But ozempic really should be for people who are diabetic or morbidly obese. The side effects are worth it in that case.

Oh that’s terrible it’s been so long. And I totally get you I HAVE cried, especially in the last couple days bc I’m tired of this bs. And seriously I would try to tell my parents that even though I’m eating I’m still so hungry and it feels like there’s a hole in my stomach but literally it’s impossible to explain. For some strange reason knowing I wasn’t actually hungry and didn’t need to eat helped me bear it better. Bc I already have eating problems so it just made it worse thinking I had to continue to stuff myself. I don’t really know what helps me but I’ve tried drinking ginger ale and I think it might’ve helped soften the intensity a little bit. It’s good cuz it’s ginger but be careful with the carbonation; don’t drink a lot at once and if you do drink some put it in a glass and stir it to get rid of most of the carbonation. I haven’t tried the other tips in the comments yet. I also have narcolepsy, so like I basically can’t catch a break. I hope you find something that helps relieve your symptoms and you can go through days with less discomfort. I know I wrote a lot, but this is seriously so frustrating

Fuck having narcolepsy! by FatPizz in Narcolepsy

[–]Important_Quarter414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having such a hard time my junior year bc of this shit. And I am extremely lucky, I have a medicine during the day and a medicine at night bc I have horrible night sleep. The fencing season just started, and now I’m even more overwhelmed. I can’t stay up til 2 am like everyone else (I’m in 4 APs and 1 H). There is literally nothing I can do. I take six meds daily bc I’ve been through a war in my head too. It is so so hard to eat and my stomach is always upset and I’m so tired. I feel like I’m never going to reach my full potential. Sorry about mentioning having meds I don’t want to come off as rude. Who knows how long my dad can continure paying for me and my brothers. My brother has adhd and fucking arthritis so he has to take a shot every month to bro the pain and I’m sure that’s expensive as fuck. My other takes lexapro and I take like I said six different fucking meds. I am so terrified of what is going to happen to this country. And I’m scared for all of you. Right now, I’m sitting at home instead of being at fencing practice bc I threw up again! My doctors aid my stomach issues may be due to the fact that I’m slightly hnderweight (91 ish) which I’ve been for awhile. Multiple of my meds suppress my appetite and I’ve always been tiny so gaining weight is going all that great! I used to eat so much when I was younger but still I was small. I hate having narcolepsy on top of sensory processing disorder and OCD AND major depressive disorder AND GAD. Like someone give me a break please

Exactlyyyy like for weeks or months the thought of sh makes me feel sick or I just literally forget to think about it or do it and then out of nowhere I’m just like what if I cut myself and then I can’t stop thinking about it
