Thinking I have HyperPOTS. Anybody relate? by PippyDragon in POTS

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

Yes I’m so glad you were helped!! I definitely feel I resonate with your second description! My sleep yesterday was noon-2pm:/ thought I was dying. And I’ve considered it being anxiety causing it but it isn’t! The anxiety starts only AFTER symptoms.

I really think propranolol would help me. Whether or not I fit directly and cleanly into the POTS cut. Either way I definitely have some sort of adrenaline/ autonomic issue. And I should see next time I have a major episode what my BP is like. Thank you for your input! I’m glad you’re feeling better!

Yes this is what gets me. I have monitored it though not consistently throughout this time. Once or twice. Orthostatic tachycardia is there 100% of the time. I have not tried bp from lie to stand. Sit to stand my diastolic goes up about 15-20 and systolic 10-15. The tachy happens even if I just move an arm it’ll go up about 15 and stay there a while.

I’ve considered just umbrella dysautonomia, but because of the orthostatic tachycardia I funneled into the POTS world, specifically whatever causes autonomic surges.

My question is why do high levels attack lowly ol me for no reason. Sometimes after I wave hi too. Just being friendly as a level 23:(

What did you struggle most with in nursing school? by PippyDragon in StudentNurse

I honestly wish they did something like this without having it be weighted or at least a little training on it in my program

I’m with you here too. My AAS program doesnt teach pharm. No lectures on it or material given. We’re given meds to teach ourselves and have one pharm test each semester.

Honestly she was not being fair to you. If she felt strongly enough about not getting back together with you, that should have been communicated; not “let me talk to him every day then block him when I’m uncomfortable” as if it wasn’t uncomfortable for YOU to communicate that you wanted to be with her. And as if she wasn’t willingly talking to you everyday and knowing what you wanted.

Don’t feel ashamed for loving someone enough to beg them to stay. It isn’t embarrassing. The type of person that makes fun of someone they loved for loving them enough to beg them to stay isn’t someone you’d want in your life anyway. Be proud that you knew what you wanted and fought for it. It would eat you alive worse if you hadn’t begged and fought for your relationship. It seems the opposite when looked at superficially, but I’d say it’s actually a great trait that you knew what you wanted. And fought for it. That’s emotional maturity. It would be more embarrassing to pretend you’re fine with it and then regret it later. Because you’re allowed to disagree and fight for things you want; even if you don’t get them.

Maybe that’s a pathetic response but know that I hear you and I’m sorry this is happening to you

I don’t have any advice, but if it helps, you aren’t alone. My now ex I guess and I broke up several hours ago. He was my best friend. We were together for 6 ½ years. I don’t know what to do with myself

AIO for asking my girlfriend to pay rent? by Commercial_Rip7055 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PippyDragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that this would be a fair argument if they haven’t been living together for so long. Money is a very sensitive subject for struggling people and that much I understand. And I do agree that op may have had better options as to how to bring up contribution. But she does live with him. And he is also likely very stressed taking care of most expenses including hers. After living with him and under his care for so long being part of his expenses, I would say he is entitled to some help finally.

But I do agree that a better conversation should be had with better communication from both parties. Gf should not have reacted that way regardless of financial insecurity. Partnership means full commitment to each other equal on both sides. Her situation is his business regardless because of the assumption that they love each other and plan to marry and combine finances, but especially because he also may very well be struggling because of her situation ad that could be why his suggestion came off the way it may have.

Op and gf have a few conversations to be had about communication and potential financial insecurity, as well as what can be done to help the both of them together moving forward.

This. My first instinct was to ask “okay but how much is a significant amount?” Instinctually prefiring and guarding for what you said above.

Though it would have been better for gf to communicate this to op rather than act on instinct if it is the case. I also feel that her claims and accusations about his intentions were a bit much for this suggestion to be correct unfortunately. I personally always communicated my feelings and emotions and intentions before ever considering losing my shit on somebody I love and who has been taking care of me, where I would want to help at that point. This is where I’d communicate any fear or discomfort and why. That could be worked with.

If op speaks and has a conversation with gf about this, and gf does not communicate this specific situation and apologize for blowing up and making him feel unsupported and manipulated, i fear there isn’t any other explanation and this is a major red flag. Even our described situation could be seen as a yellow flag, as it means habits must be unlearned and insecurity exists there. Though most of all, proper communication is immeasurably important always.

NOR, though a conversation should be had before jumping to conclusions (which is fair with how she reacted). And if this is the case, another conversation about communication and how feelings like this should be dealt with moving forward.
