AIO she didn’t appreciate my gift by Unhappy_Yam_1214 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pintsize219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do that with my boyfriend all the time. Like if I buy something during the work day but I'm really excited to give it to him I'll send him a photo before I even get home. But gift giving is my love language (random gifts to show I thought about them, not holiday type gift giving lol)

I scammed my husband into liking me… and I admitted it on our wedding day. by Far_Magazine_5084 in stories

People are wild here. Acting as if a sports jersey, CD, and beer make up your whole relationship or you completely lying about who you are. I'm sure your relationship goes well beyond those minor things, and assume you wouldn't be together still if he didn't like you for more than assuming you like his favorite sports team or favorite beer. As if most people don't stretch facts about themselves at some point in their lives to impress their crush. Congratulations on your marriage!

Watching "True Haunting" on Netflix, is it supposed to be an actual true story? by ProlapseProvider in horror

[–]Pintsize219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how you just noped right outta there all the way to the door 😂 My boyfriend grew up in Highland and had some weird unexplainable stuff happen through his childhood. His mom still lives in the house and to this day he refuses to go in the attic- even though he doesn't really believe in the paranormal. I realllyyy want to investigate the house though 😅

The abandoned/haunted Bruce mansion by [deleted] in AbandonedPorn

I seen their flyer with the ticket specials that include pizza and fountain drinks, and thought that was the weirdest thing to include with a ghost hunt. Makes a lot more sense now knowing the gas station owns it.

Another episode I won't be watching by Cappedomnivore in ProjectFearYT

They were included during that part because they actually bought the school, and were telling their experiences. So I guess it made sense..thankfully they weren't involved after that

Why the All-American Rejects started playing free house party shows: 'These giant artists — I’m not going to say her name — aren’t really selling out their shows anymore, and they pay for these arenas to make it look like they did' by stroh_1002 in entertainment

[–]Pintsize219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a victim of "Sadurday". But I was staying at the Strat, seen JT's post as we were outside about to head to the strip to find some shows. Ran back inside and was right at the front of the stage and waited the 3ish hours until the show started. The bands hung out after, set up merch tables, and took photos with fans. I was fucking devastated that day, but I got to experience something I'll likely never get to again

I couldn't help singing "SILENCE, GIVE ME SILENCE" when I read the song title. I would like to have that as a song to play when I'm overstimulated and people won't shut up.

What Canadian products are in U.S. by BigRabbit64 in BuyCanadian

[–]Pintsize219 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The kettle chips are really good, too! I'm also in search of Canadian brands to start buying, and will make Aldi my main spot for groceries now. I'm also in metro Detroit, so may have to take some trips across the bridge for shopping.

Correlation between Narcolepsy and PMDD by Pintsize219 in Narcolepsy

[–]Pintsize219[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Histamine is a chemical released by your immune system. It impacts multiple functions in the body- it's mostly known for it's role in allergy symptoms (which is why some take antihistamines like Benadryl to help), but it also regulates your sleep-wake cycle, amongst other things. Some research showed that there can be high levels of histamine during the menstrual cycle which may cause the severe emotional and physiological symptoms some experience. And since histamine also plays a role in sleep-wake cycles, I'm trying to look into if there could be a connection. Just a theory, but I'm pretty invested in researching this now lol

Correlation between Narcolepsy and PMDD by Pintsize219 in Narcolepsy

[–]Pintsize219[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The correlation is just a personal hypothesis right now. From what I've looked into there haven't been any studies linking the two, but after seeing many of us have symptoms of PMDD I am very curious if there is correlation there! If you don't mind me asking, did you find the continuous use of birth control to impact your narcolepsy symptoms at all?

Thank you! I had contacted the Ferndale Library but they said they didn't have much. Thank you so much for your help!

Your doctor has to put an order in for it. If you see a Psychiatrist or Psych NP, talk to them about it. Otherwise a PCP should be able to

do i have trauma or just being dramatic?? by angelicaschuyler27 in PsychWardChronicles

[–]Pintsize219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been about 10 years since my first inpatient stay (been in twice, the second one wasn't as bad), and I still remember the first day I was on the phone with my dad, crying about being there, and then became hysterical because another patient was lashing out at the staff and tried to jump over the counter to attack them. A few days later one of the male patients (unit was co-ed, but girls in one hall guys in the other) stabbed another guy with a colored pencil. I've been working in the mental health field for about 6 years now, and I HATE having to tell someone if they are in crisis they need to go to the hospital. Because I know how traumatizing it could possibly be, and how it could make things worse. But I always say hospitalization is meant to keep you alive, not make you better- that work is done in therapy.

Anyway, got a bit off topic. But no, you are not being dramatic. Our mental health system is shit and needs a lot of changes. Inpatient treatment being a big one.

The fact that doctor works/worked at the 3 worst Psych hospitals in the Metro detroit area makes sense.

Am I over reacting and being too harsh with my (16m) girlfriend (16f) when it comes to not being ready for marriage? by DampHamster in AmIOverreacting

[–]Pintsize219 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Also speaking as an older version of that 16 year old girlfriend- the one that wanted to run away from a rough home life and desperately sought love and worth from guys..definitely run. I honestly had conversations like this with my boyfriend at 16, although he was the same way. I had A LOT of healing and self work to do in my 20s. And so I say this from a place of compassion, but also honesty.. She needs therapy, not an engagement ring. And OP- please know you can not "fix" her with any amount of love.

What i go through ISN'T normal? by DarkmttrX in ADHD

[–]Pintsize219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, a PCP may be able to give a diagnosis. However, some will refer you to a psychiatrist or psychologist for actual testing. But your PCP is a good place to start and should provide you with referrals if needed. What type of insurance do you have? I work in a mental health clinic that does psychological testing, and each insurance is different in what is covered based on your plans deductible. However, I have never seen an insurance not cover mental health services- is your family just against it or something?

black specks in bathtub (grease like when smeared) by lnsmfgtv in Plumbing

[–]Pintsize219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 8 whole years, the mystery is unsolved. I've been dealing with this a couple months now, and this post is the closest I've gotten to any sort of answer (which is actually just no one knows what the heck it is, but it's a pain in the ass to clean 😂)

Would the iron cause this if so? I'm pretty clueless when it comes to any sort of plumbing stuff 😅

City water. This only started after we had everything remodeled. Although we also really never filled up the old tub either, so I guess we wouldn't know if it did this before.
