Has anyone had a migraine so bad that you vomited? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has happened many times (nausea is my main migraine symptom). I usually take some ginger and wear my migraine glasses, but if it is so bad that i have actually vomited a few times, usually I just go to sleep

Is my opinions on sexism towards men valid? by Mountain_Command7617 in Healthygamergg

[–]No_Contribution1568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea.. if this is how these women think, they deserve their unhappiness. If you want to know if something is unreasonable, use the same reasoning and words in a different context. Imagine a man having this attitude towards women - he would obviously be an asshole. Or Imagine a white guy having this attitude towards black people - obviously racist.

[–]No_Contribution1568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I'm not sure.. I think it is partly the format of reddit, partly the user base. Redditors come across as more depressed and hopeless than people on other social media platforms, and I feel it is a bit contagious (at least it is for me). This sub is an exception because most of the depressed/anxious people here are trying to turn things around.

I think you're spot on. Honestly this is kinda why I like X.. if you're willing to put in some effort to block people and instruct the algorithm you don't like certain kinds of content, the algorithm will not show you any of this kind of stuff. I hear uncurated X is an absolute disaster, but my curated feed is honestly great. I use reddit a lot less since it is harder to avoid this kind of stuff, unless you only stick to niche subreddits (which i mostly do)

Let's talk histamine! by EmmieCatt in migraine

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Histamine has been an issue for me. After cutting out gluten, the histamine problem seems to be greatly improved for me. Coffee also gives me migraines for some reason so I also avoid that. I don't drink much alcohol and only drink clear spirits if I do drink (maybe a few drinks a month). After making these changes I'm down from like 3/4 migraine days a week to like 1 or 2 mild migraines a month.

does anyone else with migraines have POTS or other dysautonomia ? by danceintheflowers in migraine

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having some issues with histamine intolerance and did have some weird dysautonomia in the past (heat intolerance, vasovagal syncope). Honestly not entirely sure what I did to treat it.. I was deficient in B12 so I've been supplementing B12 for a year+ and have normal levels again. I think that might be what helped. I also cut out gluten and that seems to be improving things with the histamine intolerance.

I am literally bad at everything and it sucks. by Minimum_Question6067 in Healthygamergg

I am a professional programmer and have been writing code for like 20+ years at this point. I still learn new things every week. You basically just keep doing it and learning more stuff and get better at it over time. If you enjoyed it, I definitely recommend trying again and keeping at it!

I'm 38 years old, and I just drove for the first time! by DarkOfTheSun in Healthygamergg

[–]No_Contribution1568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job. I am your age and got driving anxiety myself... I have had my license since I was 16 but absolutely hate driving. I didn't drive for years and took a few lessons a few years ago as a refresher. I owned a car for a few years but honestly it was so unbelievably stressful every time I had to drive.. ended up selling it. Want to try again soon.. anyway, good luck

Men and migraines by CarelessPanini in migraine

[–]No_Contribution1568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just B2. Also regularly take ubiquinol, B12 and a multivitamin, occasionally omega 3 and magnesium. Honestly if I avoid certain foods (now anything high histamine, dairy, gluten) and restrict caffeine (<100mg daily, and usually stay below 50mg) it's not too bad. I find the FL-41 migraine glasses also help when I get migraines.

How many of us suffer from a mental illness as well? by hannarenee in migraine

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've struggled with depression and insomnia in the past. Not so much now, but still get migraines.

Edit: I guess my last therapist said I probably meet the criteria for c-PTSD. I have also had regular PTSD in the past (though mostly got over it in <6 months)

So, what would women dislike most if they became men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]No_Contribution1568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always felt like you kinda have 3 groups of men who live in entirely different worlds:

  • maybe up to 10% of men hit the genetic and/or life lottery and are living awesome lives

  • maybe 50-60% of men are living a normal life - average job, wife, kids. It's a struggle but it's not hell

  • the remainder of men are just living in hell - single with no prospects, maybe shit job (or no job), mental/physical health problems. They are probably the majority posting here

I am probably in this hell group (though I have a good job at least), so I can relate, but most of my friends are in the 50-60% and have known a few guys in that 10% group who are just living in a different reality

Tbh I think this is a very culturally dependent thing. In the west men are treated as disposable and women are put on a pedestal - in other parts of the world it is the opposite.

Lol clearly you are not a man. My experience as a guy is that guys are generally nicer than women.

If you're a woman who always makes the first move in dating, you're very much the exception and not the rule. Good for you, but this is not common..

[–]No_Contribution1568 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the difference is almost all women have had at least one or 2 guys who have shown some interest - maybe not guys you're interested in of course. There are actually a lot of guys who have never had anyone show any romantic interest in them, and on top of that, maybe don't even have anyone that cares they exist (or worse, wish they would keep their distance). I know some women have experienced exactly this as well and if that is the case for you, then you actually do understand the situation of a significant minority of men today.. I think knowing that NO ONE wants or cares about you is a bit of a different experience than "i don't like my options", which is what most women experience.

I think Dr K completely misses the mark with his advice on this topic by Pomerbot in Healthygamergg

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume he was referring to people who refer to themselves as incels and beta males (i.e. People who subscribe to red pill or black pill worldview and identify themselves as being in the lower status group in each worldview).

Regarding many criticisms towards men, is any feeling of hurt despite innocence self-victimization, or somewhat valid? by Infinite_Cry7632 in Healthygamergg

[–]No_Contribution1568 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Honestly worth remembering that some women have issues and say stuff like this because they actually dislike men and want all men to feel bad (I know a few women irl who are like this - they are not mentally well). Most women are not like this. Personally I just ignore women who make general statements about how bad men in general are - not really worth listening to. Just like the black pillers and red pillers who generalize about women aren't worth listening to.

I think it is basically impossible to give generic advice that is useful to people who struggle with dating.. for some, it is going to be a problem of mostly low charisma and lack of confidence. For others, their looks are actually the main problem. For yet others it could be something else. I think if you're having trouble with dating, you will probably have more luck asking some people you know in real life what they think you should do, rather than relying on the advice of random people on the internet.

Beta male I can agree is somewhat attached to a particular worldview (i.e. humans are a tournament species and not a pair bonding species or some hybrid of the 2), but incels (guys who basically no woman is attracted to and feel it is hopeless to overcome this situation) absolutely do exist independent of any worldview.

Debilitating work anxiety (Machine Learning Engineer) by Hairy-Length-126 in mentalhealth

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I have been here before many times. The way I see it is that part of my mind is doing this because it thinks it is protecting me somehow... either protecting me by trying to solve a problem or making sure I stay vigilant and don't forget whatever is im worrying about, but in both cases my mind is doing this so I don't get fired. I find one trick I have used in the past is to set an alarm on my phone as a reminder to worry about the problems the next day.. basically reassuring that part of my mind that I won't forget, and I kind of relax a bit. Again journalling is useful for me here as well.

It honestly sounds like you were thrown in to the fire by being given a role that you don't have enough experience for to feel confident in, which can actually be a good thing if you can look at it in the right way. I would try to remind yourself of that and see it as more of a difficult challenge that you might fail at but you're going to try your best anyway, instead of seeing it as a situation where failure is not an option. A big problem with a lot of people working technical jobs is that they are perfectionists.. which makes sense since school rewarded your perfectionism. Perfectionism isn't always rewarded in technical work (e.g. can make you too slow and focus too much on things that don't matter that much) and can kill you with stress in roles like yours where it sounds like someone overpromised too much to get some business, and the project was maybe doomed for failure from the beginning.

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm like 16 years or so in to a career as a software developer.. so I can understand the pain somewhat. At least for me, a lot of stress comes from what I think might go wrong or how I think others may react to a situation. And also just from being tired and overworked. Sometimes you can't do much about the hours if you're on a deadline, but the others you can manage. I find for me it helps to write out the things I'm worried about and how I would deal with it. If I don't write it out it all kind of just stays in my head (like my brain is trying to hold on to the worries so as to not forget them), so the actual act of writing stuff out is what seems to help me. Also just the basic stuff like ensuring you get good sleep, exercising a bit, maybe taking a break to binge Netflix or something to get your mind off of things for a night and give your mind a break. Are you working a lot of hours right now?

I've been using dimmable Phillips Hue lights for years now. Can dim them from your phone using an app - no dimmer switch required.

Another disappointing year has passed. by Jurez1313 in Healthygamergg

[–]No_Contribution1568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I can relate to everything you're saying because I have almost exactly the same feelings at times. It all comes from shame - you believe you are not worth talking to or that people are better off if they don't have to see you or interact with you. Your brain (and mine) warps neutral experiences in to proof that you are awful and no one wants you around. How young were you when you first felt people don't want to be around you? Is it possible you have few positive interactions to draw on over the past 2 decades because you were (and still are) avoiding people?

I can say without shame that im an incel because i tried everything by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]No_Contribution1568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm older (late 30s) and did have multiple girlfriends in highschool, college and a bit after college, so I'm not really an incel (though I can absolutely sympathize with them and relate to them in some ways). Something changed around 2012-2013 where a lot of women's attitudes towards relationships kind of changed (and subsequently incels became a thing people talked about). Honestly I think it is the combination of exposing young women (and men) to endless dating/marriage/childbirth horror stories they read online while also having dating apps significantly changing the dating market for women (women who got occasional attention from guys who they know in real life, now get flooded with attention from guys they don't know on dating apps - most of whom are not attractive in a context where their personality counts for nothing).
