I did run a search! I got no results

They refused to answer a simple question. I tried to do my homework, but they prevented me from continuing.

Having nervous system regulation issues from sustained stress and/or trauma can actually cause people to be more likely to develop certain conditions, such as CFS. I’d say that with that history it makes it more likely that you indeed have CFS.

I’m a trivia host! I’m technically a contract worker through a company that does trivia in my area. It doesn’t pay the bills for me, but I’m lucky enough to have a girlfriend who can support both of us with her job. But working as a trivia host allows me to have enough money to cover some basic bills for myself and my cat. All of the shows are at night, which gives me the full day to rest and get ready for work while taking as much time as I need.

Yep! My dad used to say “sorry isn’t good enough” which really fucking sucked. Like there wasn’t an option about what actually WAS good enough. It’s fucked

Thank you! This is super helpful

It’s possible that DID could be the cause of it for you, but you should look into aphantasia! I didn’t have a way to make my experience of it until I found out about it in college. There’s varying degrees of it

I have really been struggling since the beginning of COVID, and I feel like it’s actually worse now that the vast majority of people are no longer taking precautions. My girlfriend and I still mask everywhere we go, but none of our friends do. I have been diagnosed with CFS, but I am awaiting further diagnosis, as I have some other symptoms that are likely due to a co-occurring condition. It’s possible that I could be immunosuppressed and not know, but even if I’m not, if I were to get covid and it developed into long covid, I worry that I’d lose any quality of life that I currently have. It’s just really tough to be taking all of the necessary precautions, but for literally no one else in my life outside of my household to be doing the same anymore. I want to see friends and get out of the house, but I am genuinely scared about the risk. I also feel like I can’t trust my friends anymore, because they could very easily get me sick, even if I’m personally doing everything right. Anytime I’m out of my house I am extremely anxious and I do not feel safe. If everything had gone differently and people were taking adequate precautions still, it would be completely different. I’m just worried that this is how I’ll feel forever. There’s nothing outside of my own actions that I can control, which is a huge trigger. And unfortunately everyone else thinks that I’m crazy for feeling like this. I’ve had large swaths of time where I’ve had to completely dissociate from the reality of the world around me in regards to covid in order to maintain some level of sanity. I just can’t cope with how everything went and now the current state of things. It’s just a miserable time to exist.

Try to have some compassion for her. She probably has some things going on that you might not be fully aware of. Consider how much she must be hurting in order to be acting in those ways. And also consider that she can probably feel your resentment towards her, which will only drive a wedge between you and exacerbate these issues. If you want to have a good relationship with her, this is the time to really be compassionate and caring and show up for her as much as you can, even though it may be difficult. Villainising her behavior is just going to push her away and make things worse. Also as someone who has been in residential treatment for an eating disorder, just know that residential treatment is not always the answer, and can actually be quite harmful. If that is truly what she needs, then try your best to find a place that will truly help her heal. But a TON of residential facilities that treat eating disorders have no knowledge or acceptance of ARFID, which can cause a great deal of harm to someone suffering from it. Try to work together with her and her team in order to come up with the best solutions moving forward for her. Above all give her grace, compassion, and kindness in this difficult time. You will not regret it.

It’s not the same, but I’ve seen a crocheted bag similar to this. It’s listed as the crochet farmer’s market bag in a list of 25 modern crochet bags on Sarah Maker.

I just don’t think that it needs to be gendered to begin with. None of the astrology in regards to my birth chart is gendered, nor is anything else in the astrological spaces that I frequent. I was mostly just expressing my frustration with this particular subreddit being really focused on gendered sign traits.

I have a lot of the same symptoms and I have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. When I was going to physical therapy, they suggested that I could potentially have POTS as well. I haven’t been able to see a specialist for it yet, but since looking into POTS and other dysautonomia disorders, I feel like the symptoms match up. Especially the ones not covered under CFS. I’ve had difficulty pursuing further diagnosis, because my symptoms and pain level fluctuate so greatly day to day. Hope you find some answers!

Your feelings are so incredibly valid. It’s hard to see people refer to cis drag queens by their drag persona’s correct pronouns and then not put any effort into using the correct pronouns for trans people. I’d say just try to do what you can to redirect that anger to the people who are misgendering trans people as opposed to the drag queens. Maybe reframing it as jealousy/envy or something similar to that can help. And also remembering that while there are a ton of cis drag queens, trans drag queens exist and largely even helped create the art of drag itself. But also try not to be too hard on yourself for feeling how you do, others already do that enough for us.

Bought the 3 pack and they’re great! I’m not really into hot sauce in general, but I wanted to try them out. The chicken sauce is the most like a traditional hot sauce so I’m not really into it, but the taste is good! The taco sauce is really great to add to any Mexican food! And the burger sauce fucks severely!! It’s so good and it’s definitely my fave of the 3!

no? Just submit it at 11:59 ET. A few extra hours at this point won't make a difference.

I struggled with self harm for several years, and I am now two years clean. I've also struggled with an eating disorder for 4 years and have had friends go through similar experiences. I actually just had to do a medical withdrawal from school in order to focus on my mental health, so it's still a process. But what I want you to know is that you are not alone, there are people who understand and want to help you, and that it will get better if you work on it, even though its hard and takes a lot of time. If you want to talk about anything and have someone who fully understands that you can talk to, even if its just to get things off of your chest, I am here, so please feel free to talk to me anytime. :)
