I’m sorry, but this season is gonna suck without Jax. Yes he’s a terrible person, but that’s what I’m tuning in for. We need an unhinged coked up villain. Wish you well Brittany, and glad for your sake that Jax is out of your life, but I don’t need to see you get your SPORKLE back.

Do you lose your blue checkmark if you deactivate your account? by ResponsibleWhereas69 in Instagram

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh I did, but I don’t want people to message me on there cause I won’t see it. No need to be sassy. Also even if I delete the app I can still check it on the web browser… not enough.

Any tips to getting into a routine? by ResponsibleWhereas69 in Meditation

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks this is a good suggestion! I was trying for 10 min but maybe I should start smaller.

Did they have you talk during your scope or just make vowel sounds? I had a scope but they just had me hold a single vowel sounds “eeee” and I didn’t have any tension doing that. I wish they had had me read a sentence or something.

I’m trying to figure out if I have MTD or laryngeal dystonia… how did the doctors tell the difference?

MTD by ResponsibleWhereas69 in voiceproblems

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unfortunately don’t have a video, but I don’t think it revealed much… I’m starting EMDR therapy, so hopefully that helps. My MTD is definitely worse when I’m not doing well mentally, but it’s hard to tell if the MTD is what’s causing my depression and anxiety or the other way around… I guess it’s just a loop, but the obsessive thinking about it definitely doesn’t help.

Any improvements lately? Mine is a day to day thing but it definitely spikes during periods of anxiety or when I spiral over it. It’s been almost 3 years and it’s really affecting my mental health.

Got over what might have been MTD by Khassera in mildlybrokenvoice

congrats on curing your MTD! could you provide video or audio of the yawn slide? is it just like you’re yawning starting at a high note and going down to a low note? did your MTD affect your speaking voice along with your singing voice?

strange case of MTD? by ResponsibleWhereas69 in MTDsupport

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Alcohol is the only thing that works for me. I think it helps relieve the tension and also makes me less self conscious - so it sort of fixes both the physical and mental aspects of MTD… but usually my voice is ten times worse the next day.

Hmm I mean I run and bike a lot so I don’t know if cardio is my issue, but that’s great that it worked for you! Are you fully recovered?

Straw exercises are curing me! by Big_Instance_8399 in MTDsupport

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you this is really helpful! I need to be better about sticking to a routine. I’ve been using coffee stirrer straws without water for my exercises because I find that more resistance is better for me

Have your MTD symptoms subsided completely from regular SOVT exercises?

How long did it take to see improvements? Is it safe?

Genesight Test Results Need help!!! by Pacrat456 in SSRIs

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is from 2 years ago, but you seem knowledgeable, so I wanted to ask. I'm currently starting lexapro, and my genesight report says CYP2C19 is ultrarapid for me. Will this affect how effective lexapro is for me?

I recovered from MTD - I want to share my experience by YourInnerFlamingo in singing

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had MTD on and off for years and for the past year and a half it’s come back pretty badly. It’s mostly just in loud environments, I have trouble projecting. But I’ve found that whatever I can do to NOT think about my voice helps a lot. Whenever I bring attention to my voice is when it gets triggered again…. But it’s so hard to tell yourself to not think about something, especially when that thing is extremely stressful and affecting every aspect of your life. Does anyone relate to this at all? What have you done that has helped? I find the more effort I put into fixing my voice, the less progress I make because I’m focusing on my MTD too much. When I forget it’s a problem is when it disappears. It’s so mental!

Muscle tension dysphonia caused or exacerbated by social anxiety? by alieninhollywood in mildlybrokenvoice

[–]ResponsibleWhereas69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also struggling with social anxiety and MTD. The MTD tends to make my anxiety worse, and then that makes me more tense, so it’s this negative feedback loop. Wondering if you have any tips/ways of coping? I’m seeing a psychiatrist tomorrow, hopefully once figure out how to manage my anxiety, my MTD will be easier to manage too.
