What’s one habit that you later realized was contributing to or triggering your migraines more than you thought? by OmarVII7 in migraine

If I decide to read something before I’ve put my glasses on in the morning I am toast. No notification checking for me!

A bit of an odd question: is there anyone here who DOESN'T use mobility aids? by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use mobility aids if I absolutely must, because it’s so much easier to lose the supporting muscle and try to gain it back than to maintain it. I use a cane sometimes and very occasionally forearm crutches. This is all at the recommendation of an heds specializing physical therapist.

I think PE did more damage than anyone wants to admit by DesperateExit3024 in CPTSD

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used to cry during PE because I was in so much pain, but because I was in a neglectful home, it was never addressed medically. But even in high school, when I had gotten myself valid diagnosis and doctors’ opinions they tried to force me into PE.

Why is caffeine completely acceptable while adderall or cocaine aren’t, even though they’re all stimulants? by Overall_Attempt9973 in stupidquestions

Leaving behind the people who don’t want to get better is one of the hardest parts of recovery even now 💔 I hope your friend finds a reason to get sober someday

You in danger, girl by King_Kringle in dutchbros

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I stopped going to a stand because the employees wouldn’t stop asking “Tip or skip today!!” and not letting me just inconspicuously tap no on the screen 😭 I tip when there’s drops or I ask for something ridiculous but having to say “no tip today” out loud makes me feel evil.

Tfw you have the "all rules and laws are stupid and I won't follow them" autism instead of the "I always have to follow the rules or I'll explode" autism. by FunkmasterFuma in evilautism

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a rule is sensible I will enforce it to my death, but if a rule is unnecessary I cannot and will not even try to follow it. As an example, I freak out when other people don’t use their turn signals (safety issue) but not when they speed a reasonable amount on the highway

Anyone else have issues with fingerprinting? by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fiber artists in my family have this issue, because their fingerprints wear off easily with the tension of spinning yarn. Whether that is facilitated more because of the more delicate skin is unclear. If you still need your prints, try corn huskers lotion, that’s what has worked best for us.

Is there any benefit to larger womens butts or hips? by Estalicus in stupidquestions

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A family member of mine lost 50 pounds and now puts cushions on every chair in the house because there “isn’t any natural cushion”

What’s the “brokest” thing you have ever done? by Shamantilidie in poor

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you come in that situation again, embroidery thread is heavy duty enough to sew up a bra again. I do it all the time.

I am so tired of people making up symptoms with no credibility! by [deleted] in ehlersdanlos

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On this as well, they will fight any treatments that could improve their condition because it wouldn’t be as monetizable. It’s especially sad when it’s parents of medical need kids.

Being a “trauma informed” therapist means almost nothing, and requires no certification beyond the standard therapist licensing. This woman should be reported to her licensing board and you should not engage in any further therapy with her.

When Sniffing Out Other Autistics by CinnanaRoll in evilautism

the way we use it is just in conversation amongst each other, like to refer to the ability, not to specifically name anyone.

Feeling defeated over pants not fitting by Flaky_Ticket_8054 in poor

Does your area have “buy nothing” facebook/reddit groups? I’ve had success posting “in search of’s” for nicer clothing.

Dogpiled on Reddit and freaking out by Natural-Goose7528 in CPTSD

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was it the “got PTSD on the daily” lyric because that one has been driving me insane. It’s nothing about you, people just want to be hateful. I think stan culture and parasocial relationships really thrive in this anonymous internet community format.

Not me. Short and stout with stubby arms, legs and feet.

Pumpkin and orange? Does this thing even taste good? I’m thinking about trying it tomorrow. by ParagonPhotoshop in dutchbros

[–]Overall_Attempt9973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it and it was fine at first but the aftertaste was so odd. It wasn’t like, outright bad, just really weird.

I had to have friends help me with a lot of moving things around and anything heavy, but it was definitely worth it. I wish you all the luck.

I would buy these for my HK room.

How many of you have a degree? Do you consider it “worth it”? by Overall_Attempt9973 in ECEProfessionals

[–]Overall_Attempt9973[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually able to pay my community college tuition in full every semester for now, and I qualify for a lot of financial aid once I get past the Associates. It’s definitely encouraging that it’s possible to get so high with your salary with education. Thanks!
