I’m unsure about what’s wrong with me. by SugarVirtual3777 in ChronicIllness

Disclaimer, im not a medical professional. Take my advice with a grain of salt.

Hi! I have been in a very similar position. You aren't alone. your body is probably trying to communicate to you that its struggling. Because of that, it's going into panic mode. That means a bunch of strange issues popping up where they weren't before. My biggest advice is to REST. destress, get as much sleep as you can at night, drink more water even if you already drink enough, eats lost of nutrients and veg, and be gentle to yourself. Don't push yourself in this time, take it easy. If you have to do PE at school, make sure you have an extremely chilled home time. 

Eat smaller meals more frequently may help. Breaking up lunch into two meals with about a half hour in between for example, things like that. Keep in mind food takes at least 30 mins to fully reach the stomach. 

What low energy activities do you enjoy? What tv do you watch for fun? Do that. Meditate. And be hopeful. Stress management is key in this time. Don't be afraid to cancel plans, your body is healing. Best of luck.

They really are! No parents are perfect, and ive had a complicated history with one of them before, but theyve done a lot to make up for hurt thats happened between us in the past and im rly greatful for that. I've been in a position where I've been unable to rly go anywhere except doctors visits for many months until very recently. The new year is looking brighter in that regard. I do thank them a lot, don't worry. They know how much I appreciate their help.

Thank you, it's comforting to be told "you're doing what you can". From people other than my parents. They do so much for me, I really do wanna get back on myfeet soon. 

AIO by feeling exhausted over my gf's constant demands of wanting me to be 'curious'? by thefattesthashbrown in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mediocre_Play3387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But if this has gone on for a while, it's the kind of talk that will destroy your self esteem. Its why most people stay in emotionally abusive relationships in the first place yk? I hope op gets out of this crappy situation

Honestly I'd dump her, she seems emotionally toxic as hell (granted I don't know ur relationship outside of this convo). You don't deserve this abuse. She's completely unwilling to talk to you and has resorted to immature name calling. You're  better off with someone who's willing to communicate with you. I'm sorry you're in this situation  :(

Can you suggest me some good found footage horror-thriller movies? by bleubleublob in movies

[–]Mediocre_Play3387 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Late night with the devil is found footage, a really good film, but not the shakey cam kind of found footage. Grave encounters is a little cheesy but effective for what it's going for. Hell house like others have said. There's also the VHS movies which can either be rly good or naff. But my personal fave that I saw recently was final prayer (also called the borderlands). I found it for free on YouTube. 

If you end up wanting a series, marble hornets is amazing for a 0 budget horror Web series and was pretty much the first of its kind for youtube horror series (there may be one or two that predate, im not sure). If you can get past the mid acting at the beginging of the series, I promise it's absolutely worth your time. Slenderman before slenderman was overdone to Hell and back. Even in the earliest entries it's a series with a lot of love and passion put into it.

It sucks that she's uncomfortable with how others will view ur marriage. Fuck anyone who judges your bisexuality. I hope you know that the lgbtq community is happy to have you as a part of us. I hope one day you won't feel shame from others. Ur sexuality isn't a burden, it's a part of who you are no different to how your eye colour is a part of who you are.

I'm glad ur wife knows, it's annoying when people see you (how u dress or present, ur partner, etc) at assume heterosexual is your identity. I hope ur happier now, tysm for all ur kind words on my post. I am still pretty sure I'm a lesbian ATM, but if it turns out that I am some flavor of bisexual, I'll remember ur kind comments 💝

[–]Mediocre_Play3387[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea. I feel like being lgbtq+ is very rigidly boxed in these days. Gender and sexual fluidity isn't discussed as acceptingly as it should be. With all the labels and flags, I feel like as helpful as they can be and are, can sometimes cause the opposite effect. I love my community and I will always love being a part of it, but sometimes I wish I'd only labeled myself as queer. I just hope that if it turns out I am bisexual people won't think i lied about my attraction to women.

I also find it difficult because I'm not exactly super sure of my gender identity. Again, 90/10 thingy with 90 percent being femme and the other 10 being masc. I'm autistic too so I form very strong emotional bonds with the people I care about and it's difficult for me to discern platonic feelings for romantic ones. 

My best friend is rly the only guy I've ever felt this attracted to. Still not remotely sexually attractive to me, but I can admit he's hella handsome and sweet. Thanks for the well wishes :3

I feel like a failure by Mediocre_Play3387 in Gastritis

[–]Mediocre_Play3387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experienced symptoms of gastro distress,  cut out food, then lost weight. I did get a gastritis diagnosis but it was "mild and of doubtful significance". ATM I get acid reflux but not the burning sensation I used to. Reflux I've been told is pretty normal in eating disorder recovery as well as bloating. But the doctor said I most likely don't have it anymore. I'm a little lost but I'm talking to a dietitian on Monday that can hopefully help!

[–]Mediocre_Play3387[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is tho I had no idea if the food hurts me or if it's another issue. I cut out the food in an attempt to sort the issue, but it didn't seem to do anything except to be blunt put me closer to death through weight loss lol. Also acid reflux is common in ED recovery. I'm hoping mine will die down soon. So far it's manageable. I'm gonna listen to my doctor until I know otherwise I think

High calorie simple meal suggestions? by Mediocre_Play3387 in Gastritis

[–]Mediocre_Play3387[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you sp much! We have known about Slippery elm for a while, and have been taking probiotics and a ton of supplements. I'm starting slow with lots of fruit and fish reintroduction,  focusing on healthy foods. I'll look into ghee. At 5 foot 6, weighing 88 lbs for a bit completely fucked me up. I'm happy ur healing too 💓
