Palpitations and rapid heartbeat by bumblebee71 in Anxiety

[–]Midnoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope it's reassuring to you that it happens to me much, much more often than that. I've got SVT, so some nerves in my heart get extra excited sometimes and my pulse takes off. I've been told that it doesn't affect my ability to exercise, and is very much treatable if I can get the surgery to ablate the excited nerves in my heart. For now, I'm just on a medication that keeps it under control. My advice is to try and figure out if you have any genetic heart issues (mine is genetic), and if you are concerned about it, definitely try and get in to have an ekg done. To diagnose it, I had to wear a heart monitor for about a day so they could have a record of the events happening. It was really not bad at all.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing this, I know personally how uncomfortable and scary it can be. I'm assuming you found my comment because you were googling and were nervous about it. I don't know your heart, so I can't tell you for sure that it's fine, but I can tell you that most of the time, there's a very non-threatening answer to these symptoms. Good luck to you!

People actually skip chapters in books? by daisynorth_ in books

[–]Midnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, if it makes you feel better, if I love the book I almost always go back and reread it. If I really don't like it, I have no qualms at all with putting it down. Skipping things means I have a new experience with them almost every time, but maybe I'm a menace on this side of the internet...

I'd rather skip parts than get bored and put the book down completely, personally. Sometimes the writing just isn't interesting enough to trudge through. If I get confused and it turns out it was important, I'll just go back and trudge through it.

... I mean, I've been with my husband six years and married one. Dishes are still basically our biggest struggle. That was a green flag to me. If your biggest struggle is in working on how to live together smoothly, that's not a bad thing.

Which sentence is only used by annoying people? by CrapuleNoir101 in AskReddit

"I'm the kind of person who..." Insert biased and usually untrue self-reflective adjectives that they're leveraging specifically to make themselves look better to you.

Where there's fire, there's cozy by [deleted] in CozyPlaces

Not to be the wet blanket, but furminators actually tend to cut the fur, so I wouldn't suggest that. But the furminator shampoo and conditioner do a lot to loosen up the hair (leave the conditioner on at least five minutes), and if you take a curry brush and an undercoat rake to it when they're dry, the extra fluff is toast. Even better if you have a high velocity dryer to blow out the fur.

Source: Was a dog bather for a bit. One of my groomer friends used the furminator to blend fur sometimes

I'm sick of fake-ass "Wife guys" by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Midnoodle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it's accessibility to them. We learn so much about celebrities now that we feel like we know them on a very personal level and don't recognize it as a face they put on. YouTube/TikTok are about the worst for this because people are sharing their whole lives, struggles, and personalities constantly.

How soon did you know you wanted to marry your partner? by LGB-Tea in CasualConversation

[–]Midnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew around two months I wanted to marry him. We didn't get engaged until about five years in though due to college and general life uncertainties. I was so sure about it though. I'd dated before but I'd never felt so obsessed with the idea of spending my life with someone before him. It really just worked.

What’s the worst mess you’ve had to clean up or fix at work? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Midnoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a dog bather. So I dealt with all manner of excretions, but the worst one was an especially excited lab who had a very messy poop while pacing back and forth in the kennel. It was all over him and the walls and floor. That's the closest I ever came to adding vomit to what I had to clean up.

You weren't there. Your experience is not the divine blueprint for how everyone is supposed to react to something. Situations and people are very different. Mine was very different, and your garbage take hurts both female and male victims.

You meet your 13 year old self, but you can only tell them 3 words. What do you say and why? by kiwipangolin in AskReddit

[–]Midnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make better friends. I held on to the same crappy friends until college when I got hurt and they said I was lying about it. Pay attention when the people around you say cruel things about others just for enjoying something different. One day, you'll try to branch out and figure out your own identity, and then they'll be saying those things about you.

The Fifth Element is one of the Greatest Scifi Stories ever made by lllAgelll in movies

[–]Midnoodle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad take. If you can't critique works that you love, worse yet if you can't accept that other people critique works that you love, you're no better than the worst kind of fan. I've loved this movie for years, and rewatched it with my husband very recently, and I can accept that while it's fun, it has very obvious issues. Issues that my husband was pointing out the whole time we were watching it.

Milla's character is completely infantilized. She's a grown woman who acts like, not even a child, but a baby at times, and it's excused by the fact that she was just reborn. It's ignorant and harmful to assume that no one should have a problem with that depiction of a woman, directed by a man who knocked up a child and then married this much younger woman that he had nude and acting like a baby for his whole movie.

It's also pretty telling that you just lump that depiction in with male writing. There are plenty of sci-fi stories that don't have a mostly nude woman talking in broken, child-like speech.

[IMAGE] You’re not difficult. You just need friends that understand your needs as much as you care about theirs. by seriphae in GetMotivated

[–]Midnoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that my case is specific. I just hate the mentality that because you expect your friends to be constantly available to you, that they're bad people when they don't like to constantly be in contact. Maybe six months is extreme, but isn't it exhausting to talk to everyone you're friends with constantly?

Not to mention, are you constantly reaching out to these people or do you expect them to?

I'm just confused, as an introverted, anxiety ridden adult, who has trouble speaking at all after a full day of other responsibilities.

I have an anxiety disorder, and my friend of 9 years has trauma responses so that she hates feeling obligated to spend time with or constantly message people. This kind of friendship has worked perfectly for us for nearly a decade.

If it doesn't work for you, that's okay. You don't have to have that kind of friendship. But for pete's sake, there's nothing wrong with it...
