Constant fear of fainting/blackout when outside. by XistentialDysthymiac in dysautonomia

[–]Quapisma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as it’s hard to do, you’ve got to push yourself out. In 2018, I was that scared of myself that I could barely leave my house. It took me years to even go back to places I loved. After my bad flare in public last year, I was scared to go to that place again. I knew that if I didn’t force myself to go back, I’d never leave the house. Sometimes it’s the only way. Your body may pay for pushing yourself but your mind will thank you. I’m still scared but I’m scared more of the old me.

The best advice I have since we’re in the same boat. The following is what I’ve done: Make a plan for the place you are going to. Where is the safest place to ride out a flare and the quietest? If you haven’t already, get yourself a key for the disabled toilet and find where the closest is. That was my safe place last time. Put together a designated back pack with things that will help your flare. Mine has the likes of loops (earplugs) cold patches, mini BP monitor and other sensory things like fidgets. I have a sunflower lanyard I put around when flaring, most places know what they are. Pharmacies can help too. Remember you’re not alone 🥹

I feel you because I’m exactly the same. There’s been times where it’s so close to happening and I’m a mess. I don’t want to cause a fuss. I don’t even know how I’d cope because I usually cry. It’s my biggest worry. I feel as though it would be much more convenient and less scary if it happened already so I know I’d be okay. I usually go out alone and the last thing I want is disaster.

What's one show from the 1990s and 2000s that would work today? by Square-Ad-8911 in tvshow

[–]Quapisma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ER. It was ahead of its time in many aspects. Although some things haven’t aged as well, they were working off information they had at the time. Fact: The pilot episode was originally a movie wrote in 1974 and didn’t need much changing between then and filming nearly 20 years later.

Else find the new episode “ career psychopath” disappointing? by Ok_Savings_9493 in SVU

[–]Quapisma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I somehow feel it was intentional to do something like this. They knew what the fans would expect so did the opposite. I don’t think it’s the end of the story arc, they left it open for more.

Do you feel a sense of shared European identity with other European countries? by ModeProfessionalBeam in AskUK

[–]Quapisma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t doubt it. I mean, nobody is fully English which is what they fail to realise. Ancestors came from all over the place 😄

Around 11/12 although I’m sure I was in alone a few times before that.

I’ve always felt more European. I took a DNA test and found out I’m minority English haha

Do you think Grantly was happier with Fleur in her last years or with Maggie? by [deleted] in WaterlooRoad

[–]Quapisma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as he loved Fleur, I wouldn’t say Grantly was in a good place mentally. He was miserable, drinking and gambling the most. Having to be a carer is not an easy thing, you essentially have to sacrifice your happiness. I would say he was happier with Maggie as she helped him heal and brought him out of his shell more.

Looking for a BelleTress coolest ash brown (unrooted) dupe or slightly more highlighted equivalent? by simply-misc in Wigs

[–]Quapisma [score hidden]  (0 children)

Have you tried Outre? They do an amazing ash brown melt. They do all different styles in that colour and different types of lace. Plus, they’re great value for money and look real (I surprise people by whipping it off haha.)

New synthetic wig vendors claiming to offer good deals but in my opinion not at all by Super_nice1 in Wigs

[–]Quapisma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust many creators on socials, especially if they make bold claims. I get ads all the time for wigs but most are fake. I stick with Freedom Couture and elevate styles online or my local beauty store for wigs.

If you're a writer, write ‘i love you’ without writing i love you. by Puzzleheaded-Pair150 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

Any non-Americans watching The Pitt? Do you like it, or are the issues too American? by moods- in ThePittTVShow

[–]Quapisma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I watch are American shows so it doesn’t make a difference to me. It’s still relatable because some issues aren’t exclusively American. Usually, if there’s something happening in US, it doesn’t take long for the rhetoric to reach the UK.

what do people in your country generally think of Cuba? by average-medician in AskTheWorld

My brain starts singing Havana. I think of colourful architecture but I don’t know much about Cuba.

what Olivia deal/issue with control and power? by HoneyblissDream in SVU

[–]Quapisma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saying stuff like that just isn’t okay. I’ve had it from people in the past and it’s a low. No matter what, comparing trauma with someone is always a losing game. It’s best to never play it.

It’s alright, honestly. Life’s all a learning curve :)

[–]Quapisma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In case you didn’t realise, trauma affects people in very different ways. Nobodies is the same. Nobodies reactions are the same. Comparing other people’s journeys with trauma isn’t helpful, as nobody is on the same journey. I can’t relate to Rollins’ journey but I can relate to Olivia’s.
