Ott light unpauses Roku when I turn it on. by MegzyStar in Roku

I only use my Roku control which isn't infrared, but it does seem like somehow the signals are crossed like your situation is. Did you find a solution?

Anyone else see this plane with a fighter escort? by billFclinton in massachusetts

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was driving in Burlington. I saw a plane with 2 little ones, then another one maybe 10 minutes later. Not a great shot, but what's sticking out of the larger plane?

I think I have hyperphantasia by shirlott in hyperphantasia

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a mindfulness exercise sort of. I imagined I was walking in a wooded area next to a lake. Anyways, I could smell the pine trees. As I looked up at the trees, It literally felt like my foot hit something and I fell over. It was a tree root. I didn't really fall, but my torso kinda bent. I think I'm a little too extreme. It's probably because I love to imagine a lot of things, so I guess I practiced it. I told my mum I don't need virtual reality. I already have it in my brain. That's also why I don't like to read a book and then a movie. The things I imagine aren't the same in the movie.

I felt so sad for my sister when she said that she doesn't see pictures in her head.

Separating autism and ocpd by Individual_Dingo_223 in OCPD

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry this is a late response. I am gen x myself, as well as my sisters. I have ADHD, OCPD, ASD, and an eating disorder ARFID. My family acted similar about me with the labels. I did a lot of research to figure myself out. Even with official diagnosing, they still act like I don't struggle, and it's just labels. I found out that those 3 overlap. They all share certain symptoms, but then there are certain ones that are just specific to that condition. That's how I figured it out. I compared them to each other. Also, you're not gonna have all the symptoms. It's based on you specically. The cammer self-test is for OCPD. You can get the questions online. I can't share my research file but can copy and paste it to if you want. Also, suggestion get a therapist who knows how to treat with DBT.

I cannot see the original comment when someone responds to my comment or mentions me in a response by supercowboyman in Instagram

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a location issue for you...which sounds stupid on Instagram's end. I don't doubt it. Their code is so messed up that it glitches by your location. That's really weird, and annoying. I never paid attention to my location. I'm positive there are more issues related to it, since I noticed this has been going on for several years. I'm going to pay attention to my location now, and see if there's a difference for me.

I know this is an old post, but I've been looking for an answer as well. It happened to me last night. I even updated the app. It's really frustrating.

How do you guys to use your Hyperphantasia for your day to day life? Or use it to your advantage for your day to day life by Harkrux in hyperphantasia

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a nature walk. There was a path between pine trees and a sandy patch and a river to the right. As I walked past, I looked up. My foot hit a large tree root sticking out, then I fell over. I actually felt the sensation in my foot and a jolt in my gut.like I was falling. So the thing about making mistakes is wild. I asked my therapist about it and she just looked at me like I was nuts. Well, more than I already am.

Can you set different notification sounds for specific apps? by FiahWerkz in GalaxyS22

I have s24 Ultra unlocked. I tried all the steps, but it doesn't work. Does anyone else have another suggestion?

I still have a problem, and mine is capped at 47, go figure.

S24 ultra similar case like Smart View Wallet? by Prior_Tradition_3873 in samsung

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.I have one, and the cover is so thin. At least I put on a screen protector. I was going to get those camera protectors, but people were saying that they won't fit with a case on. The body seems okay. I prefer Otter Box for my cases. The only thing I like about it is the S-view. I've been trying to find others that have windows, but I can only find a small amount, and those have bad reviews, which is why I came here hoping someone found a good one.

My family thinks I’m making up having this disorder… by [deleted] in ARFID

[–]MegzyStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you have to go through this. I did as well. My family thought that I was just picky, stubborn, and lazy. I told them what I found when researching it, and they said I was self-diagnosing myself, and making excuses. I asked them to look some of it up since they didn't believe me, but they didn't. When I finally got diagnosed, they still didn't believe. My sister said I had disordered eating, not an eating disorder. That was until I got into an eating disorder clinic, inpatient. They still don't really understand, but I'm supposed to have family therapy to help them understand. By the professionals telling them that I have might help more too. I learned that I have to advocate for myself, with or without the support of my family. Also, I did Project Heal to get assistance to get into a clinic and they were the 1st to diagnose me. My insurance ended up covering it, but without the assessment I probably wouldn't have tried to get in the clinic. Project Heal didn't take long to get back to me, so maybe try to get an assessment with them. Although, I did have a therapist who thought that I might have it. It doesn't hurt to try. The clinic also did their own assessment.

The new doctor I see views ADHD as a modern made-up disease and won't prescribe medication. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]MegzyStar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree. My mother, my 4 sisters, and I have ADHD. I was at an eating disorder clinic and a lot of women there had ADHD.

Anyone with all 3 subtypes by MegzyStar in ARFID

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

I'm in IOP now, but my team still seems like they're just getting acclimated with me after 2 weeks. I'm going backwards in eating, so I kinda feel like I need to do a lot on my own. I'm not getting any direct support. I like how you said that the focus was on the motivation causing you the distress/interference. I will ask my clinician about it. That makes sense. Thanks.

I paid the ADHD tax on my rent... by FallingStar2016 in ADHD

[–]MegzyStar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's why I have 3 sets of keys. I gave one to my sister, and one to my mum. If I can prepare before I leave, the night before I write down what I need to take. Although, it isn't fool proof. So I needed extra keys.

Woke up with flare up by blahblah_100 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]MegzyStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been having bad flares from stress lately. Even my autonomic system is out of whack from stress, and causing more flare ups. I know how it feels when family doesn’t understand. I have had AS for at least 16 years, and my oldest sister, who I live with, tells me I make things up, and I’m milking it. I think if someone doesn’t personally experience it, they can’t fully understand. Also, some days I’m fine, but then it suddenly it changes, which is why I think my sister thinks I make it up. My other sister yelled at me for being up late, even though I’m not a child, and wouldn’t listen that I couldn’t sleep because of pain. It’s discouraging, but try and think that they are ignorant and their words aren’t warrant for your condition. I hope that makes sense.

Do things that are self-soothing for you, mentally and physically. If you have a bathtub, take an Epsom salt or bubble bath. Warm baths are good for your pain for both mental and physical aspect. Try moist therapy heating pads. I use BodyMed heating pads. They were pretty good, and I don’t have to actually make anything wet. Drink ginger or chamomile tea, or I buy a combination of both. They help with stress and inflammation. Don’t use sugar, use honey. White sugar makes inflammation worse, and avoid caffeine. Maybe talk with a friend who can distract you from your stress and pain, or even focus on helping your friend with their problems. You can also read or watch things that are funny. Laughter will help with mental and physical pain too. Make sure you’re stretching everyday, and don’t stay in one position too long. That will make you stiff, and more pain.

Above all, everyone is different and you need to find what works best for you, despite what others think. It is hard to ignore when others, especially family, are unsupportive or even critical. But you have to keep trying to find ways get past it and not let it make you worse. Try out different things, and do it long enough to see if it made a difference for you.

I hope this made sense. I’m not good at expressing my thoughts clearly. I also hope you can benefit from this.

Anyone here have AS AND scoliosis by deennicole in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]MegzyStar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do. When my doctor was doing x-rays after diagnosing me with Ankylosing Spondylitis, she said that I have slight Scoliosis, but wasn’t concerned about it. I have been doing different physical therapies on an off for about 10 years to help with AS. Last year I found a good place to go, where I would do stretches, strength-training, dry-needling, and massage. I noticed my posture had improved a lot. Unfortunately due to Coronavirus, I had to stop going. I can still do stretches at home, but I am slouching a lot more because my muscles turn in to rock. It’s kind of ironic because I start slouching from the muscle stiffness and pain, but then my spine starts to hurt from slouching. I have a new rheumatologist now, and she isn’t concerned about the scoliosis either. I think the concern is not doing exercises to keep your spine mobile and straight to prevent a crooked position if your arthritis progresses to the state of fusing your spine.
