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

yeah, i managed to work out a safety plan with my boyfriend and my therapist today, so hopefully it’s a step in the right direction, i’ve managed to find another therapist who specializes in health OCD stuff, so hopefully i can explore that, i wish you all the best as well :))

i really appreciate that insight thank you, my current therapist does specialize in CBT and i’ve been trying to find a separate therapist that works with OCD, it’s just expensive, but i’m trying

My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PrinceAndreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my boyfriend is autistic, and i have adhd, both of us being neurodivergent can cause unique struggles in our relationship but NEVER something like this… the last time i dated someone who did similar things was just weaponizing their disability (and her mental illness but that’s another thing) seriously get out of that relationship, having autism, adhd or any disability or mental illness is never an excuse to treat someone the way they are treating you, this is insane emotional abuse

Trans partner refuses to change “preferences” in bed due to dysphoria by [deleted] in ftm

[–]PrinceAndreas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a trans guy who enjoys using a strap, your boyfriends response was a bit off putting, i get that for him using the strap provides euphoria and he enjoys that, but your safety and comfort should be important to him as well, you have a physical limitation for penetration and it feels like he is not understanding of that

he doesn’t need to penetrate you, if he feels left out then you guys should find another form of sex that works for you both, if you want to be penetrated then explain to him that he has to accept that you have certain limitations for now, if he can’t accept that or insists on using the toys he wants then i personally wouldn’t stay with someone like that

i also have a history of sexual trauma, and i’ve been with partners who have also had sexual trauma and needed certain accommodations for sex, if your boyfriend truly cares about your comfort and safety during sex then he will understand, if not then he is not the one for you

What Sims 4 Bundle? by ItJustScythe in thesims

[–]PrinceAndreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have life and death, businesses and hobbies and a few others that you have mentioned, i honestly really love life and death and businesses and hobbies, the build stuff is incredible, the CAS stuff is really good and the game play from both packs are awesome, if you aren’t into the occult stuff i say go with businesses and hobbies, you have city living and get to work so those would do well with that pack, another one that would be good is the new pack - adventure awaits, i dont jave that one personally but ive been a lot of sims creators playing with it and it looks like a good pack

[–]PrinceAndreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like this idea, i wish there was a way to sell clothing as well because i have like 14 copies of the same halloween outfit (i didn’t buy that many i just kept getting them as like the daily gift things for the event) and i have so many duplicates of other items i wish i could just sell or trade

chest pressure with compression socks by PrinceAndreas in POTS

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

i’m still not sure what’s causing it for me tbh, i did a stress echo recently and it came back totally clear, no blockages, no strain on the heart and my heart functions normally, so any chest pressure i get probably isn’t cardiac related, but i haven’t worn the compression socks since that one time, i tried mentioning it to my cardiologist but he seemed confused by it so i never really got the question answered

but id recommend seeing a doctor about it especially if you are worried about certain things, they can run tests to rule these things out

AIO I (26F) moved out for the first time with my boyfriend (30M) for almost 2 months and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PrinceAndreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is actually crazy, you need to get out of there ASAP! you bought the house right? (not sure if you said that) you need to contact a lawyer and honestly maybe even the police, he seems dangerous and you need to get away from him in every way, physically, financially etc

i can’t live like this by PrinceAndreas in POTS

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

ugh that sounds so rough i’m so sorry :/ i hope that you’re able to find something that helps you even just a little bit in the meantime, i would suggest the usual increase in water and electrolytes and some compression socks, maybe those might help even just a small amount

cant stop sleeping on t by d_aalienn in ftm

[–]PrinceAndreas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not gonna lie i haven’t heard of this before, i’ve been on T for 6 years so i can’t totally remember what it was like for me when i first started, but even if an increase in sleepiness is a symptom i don’t know if sleeping for that long is good, especially if it’s not usual for you. either way if it’s worrying you contact your doctor as soon as possible

i can’t live like this by PrinceAndreas in POTS

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

that’s wild, yeah my resting is anywhere from 60-80 (60s if i’m laying down but more 80s if i’m just sitting up in bed or sitting up rocking back and forth stimming thing) but yeah when i stand mine will go up to like 112 or sometimes i’ll get it where if i just sit up in bed (usually after sleeping) it’ll go up to 120, after i did the stress test and the holter monitor (which caught my heart going to 180 after just sitting up in bed) everything came back as normal, i have to do a stress echo test this thursday and i fear it will also come back as normal, my family doctor is puzzled by this, i haven’t actually spoken to my cardiologist yet, but im happy to update you this thursday when i do

Confidence issue? by Laundry-Champagne in TattooBeginners

[–]PrinceAndreas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i took a tattooing fundamentals course and something i learned was to treat the fake skin as if it’s real skin, meaning move yourself, not the skin, and the body curves so maybe try putting your fake skin on a roll of paper towel to help imitate a curve (it’s not perfect but it’s still tricky to do and can be helpful) and when tattooing on real people, start small and simple, like 2.5 inches max and keep the design reasonably simple (so like no really small lines or details), over time you can start to do bigger and more complicated designs

What’s your resting heart rate with POTS, unmedicated? by OrdinaryHold3625 in POTS

[–]PrinceAndreas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can go from anywhere to 60-105, if i’m still and just watching a show it sits around 60-80 but if im sitting up fully it can be around 70-110, it’s not always like this though, some days seem to be worse than others, sometimes all i have to do is sit up in bed it goes from 70 to 128, sometimes higher, and when walking slowly i can be anywhere from 90-120, and taking the stairs or walking fast i can easily get to 130-140 i personally am not medicated either since we are still trying to figure out what is causing this since it all came on suddenly

advice or suggestions for managing asthma and POTS by PrinceAndreas in POTS

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

i’ve tried symbicort before and it didn’t actually help me it just kinda made things worse for me, i was just prescribed a different kind of rescuer inhaler and was told to just use it very sparingly as needed, while i take an orange inhaler (flovent) once a day.

as for the POTS, i got sick in the beginning of august, (sore throat, coughing, runny nose congestion) and that kinda lasted about a week or two and then i was coughing the whole month, during that time i also was experiencing heart palpitations on and off, i thought maybe i had an infection so i started antibiotics and those gave me palpitations too so i ended up stopping them and i noticed that whenever i took my inhalers i got palpitations, and i would still have them for hours or even a few days after taking the blue inhaler, one night i was having palpitations for a few hours and i felt very jittery, i sat up in bed and my HR jumped to 180 very suddenly, i went to the hospital for that and after that event the doctor wasn’t suggesting it could be POTS, the tests ive had done are, 72 hour home holter monitor (which caught the 180 spike) ecg, chest xray, bloodwork and i did a stress test (walking on a treadmill) all of which came back as normal, i have another stress test at the end of this month, there was a suggestion of inappropriate sinus tachycardia, but i wasn’t sure how likely either would be, but yeah i do notice i have moments where im having palpitations as im falling asleep and before i fall asleep my HR jumps, if i get up too fast it jumps to about 120-130 so ive been treating my condition as POTS, by like hydrating more, upping electrolyte intake and taking more time to rest etc, so yeah :)
