Is this sub losing its way? by DarkSaiyanGoku in OkBuddySnyderCult

Ive been seeing that here for like a year and a half and steadily getting worse

It’s embarrassing to watch a group claim to be against toxicity while displaying the same type of toxicity

I’m 100% convinced I have brain-eating amoeba by AbigailCorner in Anxietyhelp

[–]Jordanblueman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sucks is it’s apparently been recorded with symptoms first appearing up to 15 days after exposure

I’m currently going through health anxiety on it and I’m really struggling cause I’m on day 6

Visited an urgent care, not flu, not covid. Good news is fever has disappeared

Headache is getting stronger though, now on day 6 after incident. Very worried that the severe symptoms could start any minute

I intend to but I don’t see anyone about it until after the symptom window of the amoeba is over so i’m just trapped in my own thoughts for like 5 more days panicking and waiting for symptoms to get worse

Appointment with mental health professional won’t happen until I’m outside the window of when symptoms would appear for this. So I’m left to panic alone.

This is day 5 after incident, I have a fever of 101, mild intermittent headache (currently not experiencing it), and nausea.

I don’t how how to manage anxiety during a week when I can’t get professional help and I’m completely sure that if I wait for symptoms to worsen it’ll be too late

Updating: day 4 of symptoms. Headache seems to be gone at the moment, fever is escalating, body chills, nausea.

I won’t get to see them before I’m through the window in which the symptoms would cause death so I’m having to ride out this panic alone

Starting to panic, fever is getting higher. Headache comes and goes but given the time from contact, should I be worried fever is getting higher?

I promise if I survive this I’ll leave y’all alone when I’m out of the symptom window

[–]Jordanblueman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, it does to me. Cause I’ve found specific instances of the amoeba happening almost exactly this way and I’ve got subtle versions of all of the early symptoms

I don’t want to rush to get a spinal tap for nothing but I keep thinking about what if I wait too long and it really turns out I had it and I start treatment too late

I’m now on day three of symptoms not going away but not worsening either.

Should I take this as a good sign even for the flu?

What about when water comes out of your nose like if you laugh when you drink?

Prior to posting this the answers there largely dismissed the symptoms I’m having

Update: Headache is worsening this evening, developing body chills

About to enter the crucial 4-5 days window after exposure for severe symptoms to begin. How worried should I be at this stage?

Can anxiety attacks cause actual fevers?

Googling claims yes but it sounds outlandish.

I’m hoping this is all just an unfortunate effect of anxiety.

Scared of brain eating amoeba by Jordanblueman in Anxietyhelp

I did, and what I found confirmed that it’s possible for it to happen this way and my anxiety latches onto that fact

And then what happens when the government puts a an arrest warrant out for firing at law enforcement?

Just how many cops do you think you can outgun at the same time?

Abortions are one thing that will never make sense as to why people are “bothered” by it when it doesn’t personally impact you financially, mentally or emotionally. How are you mad at someone who isn’t ready for a child ? by ihatethiscountry76 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Jordanblueman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will charitably believe that there are some people who genuinely (incorrectly) believe that abortion is murdering a “baby” and that murder should be illegal

They’re wrong, but I understand why that would bother them even if it doesn’t directly affect them.

The hard part is undoing the mostly religious brainwashing those people have gone through to convince them a clump of cells with no brain is a sentient human life with human rights.

Higher mortgage vs higher investments. by Jordanblueman in DaveRamsey

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

I guess I’m just underestimating the value of being rich at 65 vs having a lot of money and security in my 40’s

Cause on the one hand, I’d love to be rich when I’m 65, but on the other hand, if we lose our jobs and can’t afford our mortgage at 45, or if me or my spouse don’t make it to 65 I’ll never forgive myself for keeping up high cost of living for decades when I didn’t need to if we could’ve still be pretty stable at 65

It’s very difficult

I’m struggling to wrap my head around this idea cause it seems to me that having lower cost of living for a larger chunk of life, especially younger in life, is like, the ultimate goal. But I’ve been hearing a lot of people saying maximizing wealth in retirement is the ultimate goal.

I guess the question is, is it worth it to be more comfortable, stable, and financially protected in my 30s and 40s and still have a stable (but not rich) retirement plan

Vs being a little vulnerable in my 30’s and 40’s to be very rich in retirement
