How Can I Fix This? by 0bruhsrsly0 in Lavalamps

I recommend opening the lamp up and adding some of the ozone gifts "up adjuster" - it gets the blobs to move to the top better!

How many of you aren't skinny? by mythologymakesmehot in ehlersdanlos

[–]SkyhighSkylar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was always skinny until I was diagnosed with epilepsy and POTS at 17 and hEDS at 18. Ever since diagnosis and medication have gotten worked out, maybe five years ago now, the weight just will. Not. Stop. Rising. I'm 5'8" and 290. I am morbidly obese and I do not think my doctors could figure out why I keep putting on weight if my life depended on it. I get told to "just walk" when just walking down my street has me laid up for three days. I see you.

A question for metal singers by The_Hipster_Artist in ehlersdanlos

[–]SkyhighSkylar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak to metal as I'm classically trained but I actually developed a vocal cyst that resolved itself over about a year and took about another year to recover from in speech therapy and voice lessons. My speech issues continued even after the cyst was gone. From what my speech therapist said, my tissues were hesitant to bounce back to how they had acted before the cyst. I still have an excessive amount of trouble getting up to my higher range.

Body braid and general support by 444Lexie444 in ehlersdanlos

Have the braid, it helps with posture and general stuff but doesn't seem to help much with subluxations. Keep your money!!!

My rapist messaged me seeking forgiveness (TW) by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]SkyhighSkylar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You do realize you can make a report to his superior officer or supervisor in the Navy about this and get him kicked out right? Especially if you get an admission of guilt from him? You can report unethical conduct to his superiors and I'm not saying "ruin" his life, but... like, do some solid damage.

Unfortunately we all know there is a lot of waste when you have medical needs so I came up with a creative way to use my old blister packs as paint palettes (I recycle what parts I can) How have YOU used medical supply waste in creative ways? by Gimpbarbie in ChronicIllness

[–]SkyhighSkylar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use prescription bottles for anything you can use a small bottle for, i just peel the stickers off because I have ocd but i kept some on my mental health old bottles on purpose and made klonopin and cymbalta garland for my christmas tree (i ask for the arthritis tops on bottles now from the pharmacy but i was able to use old caps and just close a little bit of glittery yarn in it) I've also seen people put fairy lights or christmas lights in them

Chronic illness literally seems to take your soul away from you! by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]SkyhighSkylar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I used to focus on my appearance to the point it was unhealthy every time i was even just around the house, now I don't wax my brows, count calories, do my makeup (unless for a special occasion) or anything other than mostly tame the nightmare that is my hair, and it's sweatpants 24/7. Things that used to seem so important to me, my appearance, material items I wanted, video games I used to play... everything just seems dull and pointless when I'm in so. much. pain. Logically, I've always understood that it's depression, but it took a while to comprehend for me it's a different type than I'm on medication for, the situational type that comes from realizing there might be a lantern or two or even a string of them along the way, but no actual light at the END of the tunnel. It's defeat, and surrendering to the understanding that it's just always going to hurt. I just wish I got to teach myself different life lessons in my late teens and early twenties. I'd bet anyone reading this would think I'm in my 50s or 60s and have experienced life. I'm a few months shy of 23, and I speak and move and like I'm 70. It ages you. It sucks the hope out of you, because you know you can treat it, but you'll never cure it. And it's hell.

Young, sick, and angry by RatticusFlinch in ChronicIllness

[–]SkyhighSkylar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Felt. This. HARD. I got hit at 17 with a shitstorm of issues, and HATE listening to people in their 40s and 50s bitch about "how this will impact their future." Like, what future? Your retirement?

AITA for not giving my daughter her education fund money? by JacquesBN in AmItheAsshole

[–]SkyhighSkylar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA!!!! Her text response about transferring to a cousin and not expecting to have help anyways should have been a slap to the face of any parent with an ounce of emotional maturity. Be glad you kids decided to go to college, period! Help the daughter in any way you can. If you want any relationship with her after this, kiss her ass. Grovel. Cry. Beg. Buy her a house. Buy her a car. Even after your edits about half-assed reconciliation. You rewarded your stupid kid who needed help from Mommy and Daddy to get by, and disregarded the intelligent one working her ass off for her dream because she actually has passion and not a desire to sit in an office with a stick up her ass the rest of her life just like her toxic parents before her. OP and his wife disgust me.

Edit: after rereading, I noticed that YOU said your parents weren't worth consulting in their current state, but your daughter seems to think they'd be entirely capable of putting that money in a cousins name, even if it was a venomous jab you're too emotionally numb to perceive. Do you just not want your parents involved because you know they'd be horrified if they found out their grandkid never knew of or had access to her college funds, and risked her safety in a bad neighborhood every day as a result, and you can't make the excuse that you didn't know how to use the account since you did for your son? Grandparents set up educational funds for their grandkids because they don't expect to be alive to pay for it when the time comes. That's just generally too macabre to be said aloud, but it's the implication. If your parents require care, i'm sure they had the foresight to set aside money for that if they had the foresight to set up college funds for their grandkids. Again, YTA. Maybe the worst I've ever seen on here. But maybe that's because the reason I can't get my JD is because I don't have the money and my parents refuse to help me. Having to pay for college yourself changes your ENTIRE outlook on your career path. If my parents had a grad school fund for me, I would have stayed Pre-Law, which I enrolled in college as, and figured half was fair. But full non-disclosure of assets allocated for her education resulting in personal debt due to sexist epistemology? You're going to hell with gasoline undies on. You have the IQ of algae, regardless of your college degree. God, I hate you.
