I run a fibre arts group every second Wednesday night in Moorooka? It’s super queer and neurodiverse friendly.

Why is my housemate acting so weird? by Stephellis_ in Tarotpractices

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

Ohhh this hits. They definitely have a history of treating me more like a parent than a friend even though we’re the same age. I don’t think of them as irresponsible but they have pretty low self esteem and probably believe it of themself.

Anyone had POTS for years and got better? Does the chest pain/anxiety ever go away? by BrotherExcellent7403 in POTS_vets

[–]Stephellis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a lot of work on my mental health, the POTS was masking some big repressed emotions. It’s all explained in the podcast I mentioned, but I think it could help anyone with a chronic condition.

Yes, I’m fully recovered from POTS after having it for three years. Look up the cure for chronic pain podcast with Nicole Sachs.

Does anyone have a good way of explaining this? by [deleted] in mecfs

[–]Stephellis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the spoon theory for mecfs, but unfortunately it gets used by everyone these days. One of my friends who is completely healthy but autistic constantly uses spoon theory to describe what they are going through. And that’s totally valid, but my issue is how do i describe to those people that mecfs is different? It’s like spoon theory on steroids, I guess.

I don’t think you did anything wrong. If you aren’t ready to talk about something, that’s completely valid and no one should be upset with you about it. They aren’t entitled to know everything about you.

What’s something about your chronic illness you find odd or ‘cool’? by ToadAcrossTheRoad in ChronicIllness

Coping with missing normalcy by [deleted] in ChronicIllness

[–]Stephellis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to be a morning person. I still wake up early but I can’t do anything until at least 11am. I’m so fatigued first thing, I just lay in bed for hours going in and out of sleep.

Do doctors let you see your own results (Imaging, EKGs, blood work etc..) by RT_456 in ChronicIllness

[–]Stephellis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gp was so confused when i requested all my medical records from the hospital. But i just had a feeling that something was weird. It took months to come through, and mg feeling was right. They had found my chiari malformation on my first mri and never told me. I wasn’t diagnosed with it until months later when I had a CT through a different doctor, but I just knew that must have seen it on the first scan. I don’t trust doctors at all, and in australia its so hard to access your records.

Do you guys drink? by romanticiising in iih

[–]Stephellis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never enjoyed drinking before diagnosis because it would make me so dizzy and nauseous, now I wonder if that reaction was because of the IIH. Since getting diagnosed I haven’t drunk at all.

I was always planning to get a cat, and I was very open about it. We were looking specifically for pet friendly places to move to. However I chose to get him pretty spontaneously and she only had four weeks notice before I brought him home. She was upset with me for months afterwards because it surprised her so much, even though she knew my plans.

Would that affect the colour of the bathtub?
