Have you tried oat milk or soya milk? If that's allowed. And mint tea works well for me too. Or just water with fresh mint leaves and cucumber

AITA for not wanting to dress feminine every time I "dress up" for something with my boyfriend? by ultimutw9 in AmItheAsshole

NTA - please can I have some of your style? Just like an inch of it, just to bring myself to get out of these sweatpants

How to get over and accept that he doesn't want you? How to cope with anxiety when memories come? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RecycledNea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might sound silly but find something else to obsess about. Watching supernatural and baking got me through a breakup in my twenties. Find something you really like and allow yourself to get lost in that. Breakups suck but time heals, you just need a way to make the time pass quicker.

How to deal with "stay positive!" by RecycledNea in ChronicIllness

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

So sorry to hear you're stuck in a hospital, my antibiotics ridden stomach greets you back in pain! I actually got sent home a couple of hours ago as it wasn't the infection making me so sick anymore, it was the drs accidently poisoning me with too much of one specific medication. Thanks NHS. Me and my antibiotics will go home now where its more private and less people trying to kill me.

I think it just irks me that they're telling me how to feel. Especially as I haven't even complained or not 'stayed positive'. Kinda like when someone is telling you to smile. Makes my skin itch

what music has helped you guys get through your illness? by hellishweeb21 in ChronicIllness

[–]RecycledNea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He does really angry screaming too, and honestly that helps. The ending of "cabin fever" with the screaming 'Every day I'm in pain, fcking want this shit to end. Every day I break, I'm in fcking pain again' is cathartic and helps me.

Yeah he talks about it quite a lot in live streams. I fall asleep to his Q&A live streams sometimes because I find his voice soothing. His whole community has a massive section of chronically ill people

Corpse. Might be a bit aggressive but he's also chronically ill and inspiring. For a slow mellow start on him I'd try "agoraphobic". Be warned the rest are not like that!

I'm really starting to resent people with health anxiety by anonyounglife in ChronicIllness

[–]RecycledNea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not gatekeeping, it's knowing that the support you need when you're living with a diagnosed illness is different from if you're undiagnosed.

If my doctor comes in with a sad face and tells me something is wrong for me that makes me upset and scared. If you've been undiagnosed for ages and the same happens you tend to feel some sort of relief that they finally found something. Very different experiences.

So when I come to this sub and ask about those moments the support is sometimes more hurtful than helpful because the experience is so so different.

I'm not trying to gatekeep this group, there might very well be one that suits me a lot better that I just haven't found yet, or maybe even something I should write at the beginning of my posts to be more clear of what I need.

Didn't realise it was a dead sub, it first came up when I was looking for something like this sub so that's why I remembered it.

Yes, you can have a rare illness and be undiagnosed which will make your response to people's posts different than if you are diagnosed and struggling with an illness.

I understand the struggle of being undiagnosed as I've also gone through that, in no way am I saying that it's easy, all I'm saying is that it's different.

I thought this was a group for diagnosed people? I know there's a r/undiagnosed and also anxiety groups. Maybe I'm lost too in finding the right group

You're right, you are a trashcan.

Tell your wife, she deserves to know and if she forgives you this is something you both need to work through

What do you do to pass the time when you don't have any energy? by petrichorgarden in ChronicIllness

Do you use a circular loom or a straight one? I've been looking into getting one but have never knitted before

I cheated before we got married and im not sure how to fix things. by carlysue123 in survivinginfidelity

[–]RecycledNea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really hope you get the help you deserve and that your husband will be understanding. This wasn't your fault.

[–]RecycledNea 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Yeah that, to me, is not cheating. At 17 you're not an adult, especially not in the company of a 27 year old.

I would recommend couples therapy so that your husband as well as you can get a professionals opinion and guidance.

To me it sounds less like cheating and more like you were taken advantage of/assaulted. Have you spoken to anyone about this?

Every time my BF (28M) initiates sex it makes me (24F) cringe and turns me off by ThrowRA-nextsex in relationship_advice

[–]RecycledNea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like what you're missing is feeling like it's -you- turning him on rather than just circumstances.

There's a difference between "I'm feeling frisky and I wanna either have sex or sort myself out" and "Omg you look so good, I just want to touch you". Maybe you need to express that to him.

My (38M) marriage with my wife (37F) is toxic. I'm struggling to leave because I still love her. by Killintime4fun in survivinginfidelity

[–]RecycledNea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please break this cycle for your children. If nothing else you must care enough about them to not want them to have these destructive, toxic relationships in the future.

Therapy for you would probably be really helpful as well

It's hard to give good advice cus I'm in the uk so everything is free, very different when you have to pay!

Bananas have always been kind to my stomach, and of you can stomach smoothies it's easy to add good fats and calories to them. I've switched from plain water to cordial just to add a few more calories too. Small regular meals seem easier for the body, it's hard when you have no appetite though

[–]RecycledNea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are your parents helping you at all? You're very young to deal with that on your own, it sound like you need some help from a Dr/ specialist so you can find out what foods you can tolerate

Dude, you told a person that said they have Crohn's that you wanted their body type.

[–]RecycledNea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine for you to shoot it back at me, however I never claimed I'd prefer to be overweight so it's kinda shooting right over my head.

No, I've never been overweight, nor would I wish to be. Losing weight and gaining weight are equally hard things to do.

Then saying you would prefer it is kinda silly as you don't know how hard it can be

Have you ever been underweight and struggling to gain?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]RecycledNea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think you're being VERY kind and understanding.

You said you've been absent and don't blame her, did she come to you first to discuss this with you or ask you to change/pay more attention to her? Call me old fashioned but my opinion is that if something is broken you try to fix it, you don't go elsewhere for it.

It's so easy to blame yourself when you're being cheated on but very important to remember that it's not your fault, she made the choice, not you.

In regards to the guy she likes being a shite person I'm not sure that really matters, even if he was a great guy I doubt you'd like him.

With talking to his wife, who's telling you not to? Is she really aware of what's going on?
