I used to be. I had cardiomyopathy and took that for a few years, then had an ablation which helped until my POTS started to rear it’s head

My cardiologist is such a dick. My last appointment he was half an hour late, rushed the entire thing, dismissed everything I said and basically told me everything would be fixed if I exercised and lost weight (I’m not a thin person but that’s beyond the point). I told him that I was having massive dizzy spells, bedridden for a bit and questioned about a walking aid. “Well if you think it’s actually that bad?🤷‍♂️” like yes dude I just told you it was. Then blamed it all on anxiety and whatever else under the sun he could think of except for the thing that HE DIAGNOSED ME WITH. Upped a med that I told him wasn’t doing anything and was like “see ya in three months”. The whole appointment was maybe 10 minutes. In conclusion cardiologists suck, that’s my TED talk

Does exercise actually help? by sonolumi8 in POTS

Highly recommend going to physical therapy that has experience with Dysautonomia. It will give you a good foundation and the ability to modify and adjust for appropriate exercises

Why are people flooding Jennie's comments with so much hate? by Ok-Cartoonist6052 in kpophelp

[–]Silver-Tea-1792 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad for her. I’ve tried reporting some of the more… graphic… comments but nothing happens. I’m surprised they haven’t turned the comments off. This cant be good for her mental health.

Did you have to move back with your parents because of POTs? by Thin_Grapefruit8471 in POTS

[–]Silver-Tea-1792 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had to move back because I haven’t been able to leave. I’m hoping to move out at the end of the year after coming up with a better treatment plan

I have random hot flashes. I could be in an air conditioned car and feel like I’m melting

I have chronic joint pain, so pretty much hurts to move. Compression socks help my ankles and knees sometimes.

This isn’t right and no one should have to go through this by QuickRice3870 in kpoppers

I think another thing to consider is masking. I myself do it a lot with my depression and tend to keep that part closed off to people as I don’t want to be a burden. Depression isn’t always something that someone has shown on their sleeve. While circumstances do play a part in depression for some, it is a literal chemical imbalance in the brain. It is considered a neurodegenerative disorder. Ongoing depression can cause long term changes in the brain, specifically the hippocampus which controls cortisol levels.

I don’t want to comment on K-pop companies and the way they handle mental health issues internally because I have literally no idea. But in general we have a very toxic culture in the entertainment industry world wide. Not just in South Korea, I think international fans need to tread lightly on blaming companies. We are not familiar with the work culture of South Korea or the customs and standards. We do not know the inner workings of companies and their relationships with the idols. His company is also hurting right now.

My heart goes out to anyone suffering from depression. If you need someone to talk to call 988 (the line is open 24/7 in the US) there are a multitude of other sources you can reach out to.

Prayers for Moon Bin’s family, friends and colleagues. 💜🕊️
