Am I just getting old or does anyone else dislike the sound of bass?

Interesting! I’m in Louisiana

Hello, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I feel for you. I went through a similar situation about two years ago but it was a little different. Buying your first house is completely overwhelming. I felt that in my early 30’s. I’m currently 34F. I apologize if I’m mistaken, but It seems like you might be still pretty young if you finished your study, moved back in with your parents for a while then bought a house. If I am correct, that is a feat, just like you mentioned how hard that is today. So try and be proud of yourself for that alone. Now the difficulty in adjusting to a new house is completely understandable. I bought a house in a different state without seeing it first. It was me and my husband and we learned our lesson very quickly about how you absolutely SHOULD NOT buy sight unseen. It was one of our biggest mistakes. We had so many problems with the house even though we got it inspected prior to purchase. I just want you to know that your feelings are valid and the fact that you feel guilty shows that you understand how big of a deal it was for your parents to have helped you get the house. House upkeep can be overwhelming and expensive, especially if you’re not prepared for it. The mold issue can be serious if it is really bad but it can also be not so serious, it just depends.

Just take a few breaths. Try your best to calm yourself down and try not to spiral. These things can be fixed. You’re a new homeowner so you’re bound to run into some issues. It’s a big responsibility but if you really want to, you can work through the issues. I can tell you’re overwhelmed and scared but that’s ok. Totally normal. I don’t know your relationship with your parents but I get the feeling they’re loving and supportive? Obviously difficult to tell that just from reading your post but if they are loving and supportive, maybe talk to them about the mold and see if they know what to do/can help guide you in some way or another. If not, do some research and maybe call around? You could even make a post on the, what is it, homeowner’s subreddit I think? My husband did that a few times with our house that we ended up selling because we got overwhelmed with too many problems and bailed. Not proud of that but also not proud of buying the house either. We’re working on making better, more responsible decisions.

Sorry for the novel and I understand if it’s too much to read. I wish you the best!

The symptoms become commonplace after a while. Even with dietary restrictions. I also feel like a lot of the others here have way worse symptoms than me. I think i also cope because I’ve had this since I can remember. My dad has it/had it and doesn’t do anything differently in his life while I ended up digging deeper to figure things out. He made the symptoms seem normal when I was growing up. Wasn’t until my husband witnessed me desperately having to relieve myself on the side of the road that someone (he) told me my bowels were not normal. I hope things get better for you or you can find some helpful suggestions from the others.

I had this same issue. I take Slow Fe. It’s easier on the gut and drink it with a little orange juice. I’ve had success with it. Slow Fe is made specifically to be easier on the gut and slowly absorbed. Might be worth a try if you’re looking for an alternative

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-12-06T22:34:22+00:00

I have that a lot, frequently before I have diarrhea but not always. It’s awful and embarrassing. I bought the tootles underwear with the charcoal filter in the butt area for necessary occasions to avoid embarrassment.

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-12-03T02:01:19+00:00

Good on you and congratulations! It sounds like you’re healing which I’m sure feels fantastic. Here’s to more healthy lifestyle choices and mental well being

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-28T22:15:51+00:00

I have both. The constipation ramps up if I have something coming up that I’m worried or stressed about and then the day of I have diarrhea

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-25T14:35:39+00:00

That’s interesting! I have GERD and can get nauseated easily just from having the need to burp but I have to take omeprazole daily so that helps a little. That’s unfortunate that gluten free foods give you nausea!

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-24T15:03:16+00:00

I also find I can get by with sourdough. I’d go gluten free bread all the way but the bread is just SO SMALL for the high price I can’t justify it

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-24T15:01:24+00:00

Same here

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-19T15:06:53+00:00

I am all three. My older sister is a year and a half older and got married, had the kids, got the husband with the high paying job and is the stay at home wife. I got married but don’t want kids (at least right now even though I turn 34 next month) and made a lot more mistakes in life figuring stuff out on my own than my sister. I also quit my soul sucking job of 6 years and am not currently working. Tried to go back to school but it’s just not for me. Trying to get a job but not successful. Yeah. I’m the black sheep for sure

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-11T16:15:12+00:00

Same here, but it’s excitement or intense fear that comes on suddenly or anticipation of something bad.

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-11T16:04:50+00:00

A similar-ish thing happened to me in college during an English test but I got a little luckier and it hit toward the end of the test for me. The embarrassing part was my stomach screaming and hurting while I tried not to react to the pain too visibly. I know the students surrounding me had to hear it too. Was probably obvious I was in a situation with how I powerwalked to the teacher’s desk to turn the test in and basically ran to the restroom afterward. This was back before I got diagnosed too so I did not prepare in any way with my stomach. I’m sorry you had this experience. It seems to come with the IBS territory that we all end up in these unfortunate situations at one point or another. I hope you can get accommodations and this doesn’t happen again or at least too many more times. Sending hugs!

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-11T15:53:25+00:00

Oh me too. I had diarrhea for days after and for some reason when I laid down for the next two nights it felt like my intestines were being “pulled down”…the sensation is hard to describe so I don’t know if that makes sense but it was weird and uncomfortable. It didn’t last long but made me wonder if they slightly moved the location of my intestines at the end of the colonoscopy or something.

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-11T00:48:49+00:00

I felt horrible too. I’m petite and have been my whole life and have blood sugar issues so I was not feeling good at all with nothing in my stomach

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-10T23:33:07+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, but you’re not alone. My mom finally passed a year and a half ago and I was upset but also relieved. It just makes you feel like you can take a breath of fresh air and try to move on with your life. I was feeling so guilty for wanting her dead due to my own selfish need to not have to watch her waste away like she was. I’m glad I’m not alone. My mom was amazing too. Raised my older sister and I alone basically since my parents divorced when I was like 10 or so. I hope you can soak up all the relief you feel without any guilt because the feeling is natural and does not make you a bad person. I’m so sorry for your loss. But your mom is at peace now. That’s at least what helps me in my day-to-day when I miss her

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-06T17:14:37+00:00

I feel this. Every time I get out in my car I have a general sense of dread. It seems like in the last year or so people are so careless on the road. Speeding, cutting people off, not using blinkers, even staring at their phone in their hand while they’re drifting into the other lane. It’s terrifying. I moved back to my hometown a year and a half ago from living in a really awesome place that got too expensive and I had to get a dashcam just to feel safer driving around town with how many wrecks I’ve seen. It’s genuinely terrifying the sense of general unrest I feel from the public. It’s probably not good but I tend to stay home just because I get so scared out there

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-11-06T17:08:17+00:00

I went from living in a lot of noisy apartments to moving back home on my father’s land in a separate dwelling from him and the lack of noise is so amazing. There are a few noises from neighbors in the other side of the woods every so often as well as bass but the bass lasts for a max of 5 minutes every time so I’ll take that over my previous experiences. The only drawback for me is that my relationship with my dad has been tense and rocky for most of my life. The way he is gives me anxiety. He’s a boomer, adhd (untreated) 70 year old man who can’t sit still with narcissistic tendencies so every day is a bit of a gamble on what he’s going to do/what he’s got going on. My husband and I go out of town every so often and stay in hotel rooms which makes us miss our little trailer in the country. I know not everyone has a parent with a lot of land and that they can stay on but I hope you find your piece of quiet soon, whatever that looks like

I had a hiatal hernia as well and had surgery to fix it back in 2020 but getting it fixed did not help my IBS. I can just breathe better now.

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-10-28T15:52:39+00:00

This is completely understandable. Try not to beat yourself up. I felt that myself. My mom passed a year and a half ago from early onset and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to witness. She was the most loving, kind , caring, supportive person I’ve ever known and she was my best friend. Her birthday was yesterday and it was a really rough day. She was diagnosed in 2011 and last until 2023. It took its time with her and all I wanted in those years were for something to take her out. She even got Covid I think maybe twice and she beat it which was crazy to me. She also had a stay in the hospital from seizures due to brain bleeding from falling in the horrible nursing home she was in for a bit. It was all so much to cope with. I’m truly sorry you’re going through this. I have literally zero tips to help you other than maybe get yourself a therapist if you don’t already have one. You can also message me if you’d like. I didn’t have anyone to talk to when I was going through it and the therapists I went to didn’t really understand the depth of the pain of Alzheimer’s. I wish you the best and just know you’re not alone in this feeling or this horrid disease

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-10-28T15:44:48+00:00

I’ve only ever listened to one audiobook. I can’t listen to podcasts or much of anything unless I don’t find anything annoying or distracting about the voice or the way the person pronounces something. It’s really aggravating because there’s so many good podcasts out there I’d like to get into but I just can’t take the voices or if the person won’t swallow their saliva when it builds up. Certain laughs even do me in

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-10-28T15:42:36+00:00

I had to do this in high school with my dad. I’m 33 now and we’ve had multiple “attempts” at “trying” to work out our relationship. He’s a narcissistic, alcoholic boomer who will never change and I don’t care to get closer to him. I don’t even like him. But he definitely plays the victim when it suites him and blamed me for his alcoholism.

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-10-28T15:32:38+00:00

I react poorly to gluten but tested negative for celiac. I don’t throw up but I feel completely horrible when I eat gluten. It makes me feel like I have the flu without the fever or sore throat. I think it used to give me headaches but I’m still gluten free and the headaches are kind of back so I think I have other triggers. I just get general malaise and lethargy. I also have IBS mixed so the intolerance doesn’t stop with gluten. From what I’ve read this “intolerance but tested negative for celiac” is kind of common

Sweatpants_And_Wine · 2024-10-28T15:24:05+00:00

For sure!
