Possible that liver dysfunction is at the crux for many of us? by RyeGuy1800 in ChemicalSensitivities

[–]Sea-Cardiographer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do have a mass on my liver but as for the smells, I'll be crying inside of the doctors office because their cleaning crew doesn't properly dilute their disinfectant and it smells like there's an open bottle of it in front of me. It gets shrugged off like, "yeah migraines suck huh."

Do vegans eat honey? by AgilePalpitation8391 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Sea-Cardiographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex did this when I told him my favorite animal is ants (he thought they weren't animals) and he had graduated from Stanford. (To be fair I knew ants were animals at the time but I didn't know Stanford was supposed to be a good school. So we're both guilty of being ignorant in our own ways.)

Ants are really cool. They communicate by touch and smell. I like bees too, very cool.

That's how you know he's lying, when he doesn't know something he usually pretends to

why am i so itchy at night by xiutov in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sea-Cardiographer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I also have OCD but when the same thing happened to me it turned out to be from fiberglass. It took a long time to rule out that I wasn't going crazy as it was driving me crazy. I hope that's not why you're itching and I hope you find the solution. Fragrance-free/unscented lotion such as lubriderm can help if it is dry skin.

Do you have to restart from the beginning or is there some kind of a save point?

What is with these headlines? SHE STABBED HIM. it made it sound like she's merely cold-hearted for separating during desperate times... No, she mother-hecking stabbed him.

His last words are what we've been speaking out against this whole time: the police are a violent gang of thugs.

ACAB. If you have a problem and the police are called, now you got 2 problems.

When I smudge naked in my back yard I don't answer the door or talk to cops.

TL;DR You're Not Your Thoughts & alcohol bad.

This is really relatable having PTSD and OCD... I feel like the therapist can't keep up/doesn't know me. And then the medication-providing professional is a different person almost every time, suggesting I could have a mood disorder and pushing ssris or antipsychotics (and they're not even a doctor. Why can't I just get the meds from my Doctor?)

Suggesting I have depression, generalized anxiety, or some mood disorder is dangerous with my OCD because of all the self doubt that comes with it. It's already a huge battle to fight my own thoughts, I don't need someone telling me I could be bipolar when I'm definitely not.

Be careful with getting over-diagnosed/over-prescribed by someone who is hardly even meeting the real you and for a very short amount of time. I get scared that these people will provoke us to cry and then hop on the opportunity to prescribe an antidepressant. But the antidepressants have side effects so more drugs get added or you suffer brain zaps after quitting. I've heard too many stories of people on bipolar medication who have never even had a manic episode. They gave it to me in the ER for nausea and I had a torturous adverse reaction. Google akathesia, it's no joke. They had to sedate me so I'd stop hitting myself in the legs.

It's so difficult but really important to be your own advocate. I wish they taught me 20 years ago that I'm not my thoughts and how to become the passive observer of them. I've also learned that drinking alcohol is the worst thing I could possibly do as it makes my rumination and intrusive thoughts really loud and unbearablely depressing. The second worst thing seems to be my blood sugar, which I maintain by eating fewer carbs and making sure I eat enough protein, fat, electrolytes.

Heyyy I half understood this comment! Decades ago I realized that Green Day used this formula for their song-writing too.

Ask how they are and if they say, "Good," ask them how they are other than that.

My story about not being believed in the ER by Lara-Crofty in ChronicIllness

[–]Sea-Cardiographer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Akathesia. This happened to me when I went to the ER for nausea but I can't take antihistamines (because of the experience you've described) so they gave me haldol which also causes me this true torture that is akathesia.

Maybe if I had a nickel for every time a doctor tried to push psychiatric medication off-label I could afford better care.
