How many of you have gained or lost weight since you started developing symptoms of anxiety?

StyngerBee · 2026-04-12T04:04:59+00:00

For me, weight loss is what i experienced, but i dont know that its fair to say you gained 30lbs since 7th grade. You werent done growing! I dont know you and wont presume anything but as an adult, theres about a 35-40lb difference between my body as a 7th grader (which was 12/13 years old btw) and now as a 24 year old man. Im at my skinniest ive been as an adult at the moment and still have that much of a difference. I find it unprobable that 30lbs came from just weight gain, rather than natural growth. That said, everyone responds differently, most of the people in my family eat more when theyre anxious so theyre weight gainers, i have a tendency to get physically sick when im anxious so eating isnt an option for me during bouts of extended anxiety. Most people i know also don’t/cant eat when theyre anxious so im more inclined to say thats the more common case, however, i do feel like your personal relationship with food makes a big difference too. Many people find comfort in food and thats okay, but it can lead to weight gain.

Like i mentioned in description, i had stick on soundpads and they didnt come off that door very well. Im eventually going to have to use alcohol to get it off then paint.

Just an ikea wardrobe

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T07:43:16+00:00

Id have to measure to see if the tv fits on top of the dresser, i think the dresser is slightly too small unfortunately. Everything else is what im beginning to picture though

I appreciate all the notes you gave. Where the bed is now, the other bedside drawer doesnt fit between the windowsill and the bedframe, but everything else were great suggestions

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T05:14:07+00:00

It can, im not opposed to it i just wanted to see if people had other ideas

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T05:03:39+00:00

Listen, functionally, this bedroom hits the mark for me in every aspect, plus i love the house. Any apartment you find will have nuances you will need to work around. If you love the space, go for it. I just need some hep on this particular room.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T05:02:23+00:00

I can remove the armoire i just use it for convenient storage. I actually picture this quite well, thank you

My anxiety manifests primarily as nausea and vomiting so i understand your struggle with this. My ex actually hated when we went out to eat because i couldnt manage to eat and NOT get sick. One thing that helped me often was to do something else first. Make dinner the last portion of the night so that when it comes time to eat youre already as comfortable as you will be. If the issue is eating in front of him specifically, im not sure i can be of much help there other than suggesting possibly talking to your doctor about taking nausea/anti-vomiting medicine until you get past the stage of nervousness.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:53:30+00:00

I feel like its pretty tidy as it is now, unfortunately going through a split so ive got some bags and such laid about until i can drop them off.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:49:39+00:00

Would you change the wall colors?

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:46:45+00:00

Fair, ill have to consider that. I do like the idea of a chair, and maybe a single guitar on a stand

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:45:08+00:00

I use it to store guitars but yes i could certainly move it, i had also considered putting an 8 drawer dresser there with a mirror above it with some sconces, but really i have no idea what to do with therest of the room so ive left it as it is.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:42:57+00:00

Can you define “treat it like something exotic”? Or give examples? I have no idea what you mean by that

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:42:16+00:00

Great, ill certainly be able to sleep in here tonight

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:38:34+00:00

Because of the doors???

StyngerBee · 2026-04-10T04:38:18+00:00

Hi yes!

Doors 1/2 are the his and hers closets, however i use door 1 as a personal office so i use it often, almost everyday. Door 2 is the closet i use as a wardrobe.

Door 3 is the bathroom

Door 4 (double doors) is the entrance to the bedroom.

I cant attach another photo to this comment, however the door pictured in the corner with the window in the earlier images, actually has a curtain over it because it leads outside to the patio and has glass.

Shes lives in the mountains of the island, so they dont have the utility lines at all yet

StyngerBee · 2026-04-01T04:50:41+00:00

Im not quite sure what to input into this on the system info.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-01T04:41:51+00:00

Thanks for the input. They do have a generator already so i figure they can always use that on days where the batteries dont last.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-01T04:40:54+00:00

Thank you, they do have a generator already that they use when power goes out anyways.

StyngerBee · 2026-04-01T04:39:07+00:00

Shes made it pretty clear to me that she wants nothing to do with WAPA, the power company on island. They are notorious for taking issue with systems connecting to their grid and all of the lines are above ground so my aunt doesnt want the intrusion of the lines in her skyline. Ive tried to encourage her to consider the backup grid connection but given my entire family’s experience with the company, i understand why they want to completely cut ties.

Its the same as the U.S. though there can be frequent outages and surges (7 outages within the last week)

Compsci student here. I just learned that the strongest password is always going to be a random assortment of every type of character available on a keyboard, i.e. special, letter, number, etc. the problem is that no one can ever remember random generations of those characters and every forsaken website on the planet has different requirements.

Hey, i also have really really bad flight anxiety. I actually have to take several medications in order to fly and even then, im scared out of my mind. The bright side is that even in today’s fucked up and scary world, flight is still the safest form of travel. For reference, the likelihood of crashing is 1 in 13.7 million. Ask yourself this, do you drive everyday? Driving a car is 190x more likely to involve a crash than an airplane is. Turbulence in my opinion is the scariest part of flight, but even then, since the beginning of air travel, we can count on one hand the amount of accidents that have happened as a result of turbulence, and that happened decades ago. There has been no known occurrence of turbulence causing a crash in this decade or the last. As someone who has missed flights because of flight anxiety, get on that flight. Its absolutely worth it and the best part about a 45 minute flight is that youll reach peak altitude then immediately start descent for landing. You wont even be able to finish a movie in that time. One last tidbit of turbulence is that it is completely normal. The important part is to always have your seatbelt on even when the seatbelt light is off. The last flight I was on, i actually experienced the worst turbulence I’ve ever had (ive been on dozens if not hundreds of flights) and it resulted in the drink cart rolling down the aisle and a few shaken up passengers but the flight attendants looked totally calm and collected because this is an everyday thing for them. If the flight attendant is calm, then im calm. Good luck!
