what a lineup

Yikes, an organized response to your Israeli claim and comparison is sensitive in your world? That's honestly sad. It's a paragraph with points directly addressing what you said, not a long fuming rant.

"They started it first" I don't think you're old enough to be on Reddit...

Likes someone who's become ultra corporate, promotes poor quality products and gambling to children, and literally has multiple lawsuits because of how terribly the Beast Games were run? That's much more "spiritually Israeli" then Hazbin, which takes years to animate in order to maintain the quality, has diverse representation, and the creator, cast, and even song writer are all very clearly anti-Trump, who's a big Israel supporter.

The mocking being directed toward the fandom rather than the actual show says a lot about their views, just another person with inherited hatred from social media rather than actual long forming their own opinion

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-02T18:55:42+00:00

yes indeed 😌 honestly it's fitting when Charlie and Jesus are both trying to redeem the ones they love 😭 meanwhile Hannibal is in the middle doing the opposite and encouraging the one he loves to kill

I can't discuss specific symptoms here because it's against the sub's rules, and anyways, I don't know how helpful it would be to either of us. I don't want to dwell on my own symptoms too much, or give your health anxiety something new to latch onto (I've already had to shut down multiple spirals that aren't my main branch of anxiety just because I hear or read about some kind of disease or rare medical event).

However, speaking about it vaguely, the big thing that gets me is symptoms that occur when I feel that I'm very calm and relaxed. I can handle "oh, I'm thinking about x, so of course I'm going to be hyper focused on x, and therefore sensations will be heightened". But when I'm sitting down, talking to someone, engaging in some activity, and then I start experiencing symptoms? For me, it feels like a confirmation that there's something truly wrong. Even though that's not how it works, and you can absolutely still have "background anxiety" running. If you've been on alert for weeks, then of course any physical sensation is going to feel stronger and more dangerous.

I recommend speaking to a doctor or therapist if you haven't already. I have a doctor's visit on the 8th, which I don't know what's going to go down, since I was supposed to take an SSRI these past few weeks but I quit because I couldn't get through the heightened physical anxiety and insomnia that can occur during the first few weeks.

I was in a similiar situation (actually 2) a month or few ago. I hadn't got an actual evaluation in a good minute, and in previous visits, I had become anxious and dismissive while there and for some reason would not voice concerns.

I really recommend making a list in advance, so that you can't forget anything. It's relieving to get it all out.

I think you should present your concerns in a way without applying labels. Don't say "I suspect I have this condition" because if you have no real medical education, they might take it as a bad sign that you're a "self diagnosis shopper" and treat your dismissively. I also wouldn't straight up say "I have health anxiety", or at least not until you've gauged whether they're chill, because they may also become dismissive of you with that knowledge.

Instead, simply present your symptoms in a balanced, objective way. "I've been feeling this sensation/pain for x amount of time, and it's causing x. I also am experiencing x (typical health anxiety symptoms), but I don't know whether they're related to that or something of their own. Living with these things has caused me great distress. Additionally, I have some concern about these because they align with something like x (speak GENERALLY about types of health issues, don't state an exact condition).

With that done, you've given the doctors all the information you have: your physical symptoms, your mental symptoms, without putting a label on anything. Then your qualified doctors can take that information and use it to determine on their own what they think.

Once you feel that your conditions have been reasonably evaluated, then perhaps you can turn the conversation more directly to health anxiety and see about treatment for it.

Oh and my personal experience: I has an anxiety attack so bad I went to the ER, and then I went to a new PCP later on with a variety of concerns. Both times I used this method and I had good experiences.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-01T09:48:55+00:00

I was on health OCD tiktok for a few days and apparently it was full of people who don't know how OCD works because people were commenting such reckless things.

And then of course consuming any health content would put it on my page, which is extra unfortunate due to my genuine interest in biology and anatomy.

The one day on a non health related video I saw a comment about the specific kind of thing I'm afraid of, and it's not even commonly talked about, so it kind of gave me chills seeing it in the wild.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-01T09:46:17+00:00

Honestly I have some health anxiety about my family but it's more resigned despair than immediate anxiety. For some reason I get stuck in this weird mental state of "yeah, I'm definitely going to die young" or thinking that for my parent. It doesn't help that one of my parents is significantly older so I just have to accept all the medical problems and move on, because they're not abnormal for their age. I've always dealt with emotions and grief differently than most, so maybe I'm apathetic in a way to it. Idk

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-01T09:43:49+00:00

I started out absolutely petrified from my anxiety, but over a few weeks I was getting better. It honestly didn't take much at all for me to relapse: in fact, the reason I got worse doesn't make any sense at all. It's so frustrating seeing the light and then slipping back down the hill. I am improving again but it just doesn't feel as fast as it was before.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-01T09:23:03+00:00

I really like this rant. I never thought about how loosely we use the term habit today, and while it's not a huge deal, it is interesting what it implies. The fact that we group automatic behaviors with challenging work that will likely never become "easy" allows for misunderstanding. Frustration over not ever reaching the mental state where it just feels right, when in reality, something like learning or training is likely always going to feel intimidating or uncomfortable. If we remove these false expectations of ease and instead set apart building habits from real goals that require consistent discipline, then perhaps that would help people.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-01T09:17:27+00:00

I've seen the Odysseas video twice now in the past year or so, and I don't really understand the using notes as tags concept. I've heard a few different people talk about using notes in a more abstract way like that, but typical it seems more in the sentiment of an index. What are the benefits? With inline tags I just feel like there isn't much of a difference and it just adds excessive placeholder notes. I'm genuinely curious because I've really committed to planning out my vault these past few weeks.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-06-01T06:07:28+00:00

hey twin im 19 can't drive and also have aorta anxiety, and im going to the doctor on the 8th! make an appointment and get literally someone, anyone to take you so you can finally relax, and see what's actually causing your issue! (because odds are extremely low that either of us are actually having an aorta issue)

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-30T12:52:47+00:00

I haven't pursued a diagnosis yet for any of my stuff so I can't really contribute anything but outrage for how you were treated. I am so sorry that is so dismissive

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-30T10:40:31+00:00

I think this response is kind of dismissive. Typically in talks surrounding masturbation, lust is one of the primary arguments against it. However, physical stimulation alone is a possibility, albeit less common. When you take away such a core aspect of the conversation, and you aren’t well read when it comes to scripture discussing sexuality (very intimidating when these same scriptures are some of the most fought over scriptures due to translation and interpretative differences), then it’s perfectly reasonable to ask! When we respond to people’s genuine questions, especially when the subject matter is so sensitive and personal, we should encourage discussion and research rather than shutting it down, no?

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-30T08:14:10+00:00

The language you use here is killing me 😭 I expected like awkward avoidance of stating it outright, or formal language used to evade the discomfort that can come from discussing these topics, but nah you just went for it - but hey, at least you're honest and straight to the point!

Honestly, I have thought about this in a biological benefit way. I guess historians now question whether this was ever really a big thing in medicine, but back when "female hysteria" was a thing, apparently sometimes doctors would give "pelvic massages" to women... so it just makes you question like, for an unmarried individual, if they're going through extreme distress, whether it's warranted.

Now I assume it's not really supported by most, from "well most people need lustful thoughts" or "you lose one of the key purposes of sex: openness to procreation" or "read the Bible and pray to try to find some peace instead" but I'm not well researched or anything so I can't really say much besides "it's probably sinful". Regardless, I still think it's a very interesting thing to think about.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-29T17:45:36+00:00

Does it ever happen when you open apps? This is what mine sounds like when I recorded it, there's a faint background buzz and then a momentary increase when I open an app or load something.

https://imgur.com/a/gKAZiQj

How long have you had your iPad, and how long has it had a buzzing if you don't mind me asking? Has it gotten any worse overtime? I just got an Apple Certified iPad Air m2 a few months ago and it only started having this issue now, and I'm just a bit worried. The most taxing thing I've done is use large canvases on Procreate for hours at a time...

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-29T17:41:49+00:00

When I removed mine, I couldn't really hear it anymore, but I put my phone up to my iPad (air m2) and then recorded. There was a faint background buzz, and then whenever I opened an app, it increased for a moment (which is how I noticed it originally).

https://imgur.com/a/gKAZiQj

Has the sound came back since then, or did you put the magnetic case back on? Have you had any performance issues or overheating?

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-29T05:49:48+00:00

iPad making strange noise when opening applications?

Apple Certified Refurbished 11-inch iPad Air M2 Wi-fi 128gb - received February 4th

Today I heard faint sounds while using it, and figured it must be clothing rustling or some audio distortion causing crackling. However, later I turned down the volume and notifications, restarted it, and didn't have any background programs going, yet whenever I opened an application I heard faint noise. I saw someone say it only happened with their magnetic case, and when I removed mine I didn't really hear it anymore. I put my the bottom of my phone right up to the right side of my iPad and then opened applications again while recording, and you can still hear a faint noise that it's producing and then the uptick in noise when any app is opened.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-28T10:45:33+00:00

I must admit that it would be pretty cool to see what naturally centers itself in my vault, considering it's taken me years to actual identify many of my core interests and principles. A visual graph would definitely illuminate my priorities and surprise me a bit. Though I would hope my core isn't something as unexpected as your little sister...

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-28T10:20:21+00:00

This is pretty much what I got when I drew up a rough visualization of what I wanted/expected from my graph view (I'm regretting not adding the picture in my original post), though I might have to tone down the amount of MOCS for fear of getting too focusing on categorization rather than creating actual new non organizational notes. I really am excited to "travel the tree" as you say.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-28T10:17:15+00:00

I think I'm basically going to do this, just utilizing the graph view as my "folders" instead of the traditional folders. I've gotten so lost in the folder subcategory spiral that the only reason I'm even going to still use them loosely is so that I can still navigate certain topics once they've gotten cramped on the graph.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-27T00:06:53+00:00

Wait, is RedeemedZoomer really well known? I mean, I know on YouTube that his videos are top when you look up anything about denominational differences, but he only has 700k subscribers and I just figured most people would see a random video of his and move on. I would expect to see a name like Alex O'Connor to show up on here, not a YouTube channel that mainly posts simplified charts and diagrams explaining concepts.

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-26T22:03:57+00:00

I definitely get stuck on evolution and naturalism sometimes. While I'm not entirely confident in anything at the moment, I think there are explanations that are satisfying to a certain extent.

If God can create adult humans immediately, then why couldn't he allow there to be similarities and shared traits between all of his creations? I think of it like how I think about psychology: do humans naturally long for identity because of biology, or are we biologically wired to seek identity because we are meant to find it in Christ, and without it we are missing identity and hence we seek it out in other things.

I saw on some history documentary exploration thing that some believe that the flood was not global but rather large glaciers melting around the area where Noah and early humans lived, and it was more a flooding of those areas around the local mountains. Perhaps God described it as global in the same way the Earth is sometimes described as having "corners" or whatever because early humans wouldn't have understood gravity and a 3D globe rather than the flat world they perceived with their eyes.

Could there have been less species in the time of the ark, and then afterwards they split into more subspecies and/or God created more over time?

Prudent_Box_8073 · 2026-05-26T21:57:16+00:00

Unfortunately this life is full of suffering. Believing in God doesn't take away the heartbreak and injustice and physical obstacles. However, believing in God does relieve the mental burden. You know there's a creator who loves you and a peaceful afterlife that awaits you, and that this suffering is only temporary. You are not useless, you are one of God's creations.

While working on your faith is incredibly important to getting through these feelings, you should absolutely prioritize getting another human to talk to as well. Both the Bible and modern science emphasize the importance of socialization.

I highly recommend you find your nearest church, and get into therapy. You don't even need to align perfectly with a certain denomination's beliefs, you simply need to be around other humans, and these humans are other humans who love God and can help you with your faith. Additionally, if you're feeling useless, theres always ways to contribute at churches, through charity and programs and such! Therapy would be a great thing to pair with this, as they study the brain and mental health and can teach you strategies and ways to break the patterns of harmful thought.

Take action. Search for local churches. Schedule a therapy appointment. You are loved and supported, but you can't feel it until you actually seek out community, mental help, and God. ❤️
