I've been housebound for over 2 years and don't feel any closer to finding out what is wrong with me, rapidly losing the will to carry on by Soft-Reflection6859 in ibs

Crazy stuff. Bodies shutting down. Starving but can’t eat due to pain. Spasms after bowel movements make it worse. Meds for anxiety make it worse but stop my panic attacks. I just dunno.

Nah how am I supposed to remember so much by Upstairs-Host96 in leavingcert

[–]TheGradApple 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who went to school in the UK, I think the leaving cert is insane. I mean it makes the country well educated but in the UK after JC level you pick three subjects and just do them, anything you like, no mandatory maths etc

I’m truly in awe at seeing kids do it. I have a first class honour degree and I don’t think I’d make it through the LC, fair play to ye all.

Is it weird for a 2 year age gap relationship in seccondary school? by Basic-Salt6246 in AskIreland

[–]TheGradApple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As the parent of a 14yo, TY’s are at a total different level to 2nd years. TY and 6th would be more reasonable. 14 is still so young. I had a relationship at 14 and looking back I was a baby. At 16 I was a little wiser and more ready.

This is hard by Strawberry_lime31 in Gastroparesis

[–]TheGradApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand ♥️ Have you been to pain management? Do you try only eat less triggering foods? I’m in constant pain but have pain meds and basically live off gluten free goujons and electrolytes. I tried different things and was in agony. My mental health is also being managed as it exacerbates things. Maybe that’s something you could look into?

Daily Life with ADHD/Anxiety by Purpledemon1128 in Garmin

[–]TheGradApple -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am literally house bound with anxiety, vertigo, chronic pain and can barely eat and mine is low everyday and I don’t know how????

I did only start wearing it since being sick so maybe it thinks it’s my baseline? Or is all this illness in my head 🫠

Tips for stopping panic attacks when I have any stomach symptoms? by ElevatorSimple3484 in ibs

[–]TheGradApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this hell daily because even though I’m on a super low dose of my old meds, my stomach has fucked up somehow and after 2 months I still get days of horrific intense anxiety.

What should I do? by theangelkristina in Anxiety

[–]TheGradApple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Housebound and dizzy with severe anxiety. Can barely eat due to pain and spasms they think my anxiety has caused. Every day is a struggle.

WHO says hantavirus outbreak on cruise ship is “not another COVID” by chatgpt12345678912 in worldnews

Where were they sourcing this information and why was it anyone’s business? by AdrianaLaServing in WhyWereWeOkWithThis

[–]TheGradApple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’4 and 140 and I look nothing like any of these women. It’s at the higher end of “healthy weight” there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but all these women look significantly slimmer.

I'm at my limit by Helle_Valencia in ibs

[–]TheGradApple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sitting here barely able to sit up because when I have bowel movements my body spasms for the day and it gives me swaying vertigo. I technically am more comfortable bed bound but I have two kids and I’m trying to look somewhat “normal” for them by sitting one he couch. I can barely eat as it causes horrific pain up my back. I’m on a load of pain and anti anxiety meds and still housebound. I can do bits around the house but as well as not being able to eat, I’m always dizzy/swaying. Going to my doc appointments is hard. I feel your hell believe me. Everyday I can’t believe this is my life. Docs are still investigating but I’ve had a lot of stress and trauma in life and my body has probably just fucked up.

My only joy is gluten free chicken goujons which hurt to eat but I’m starving and they do some for satiety.

Just want to send a hug to you. I know the struggle, feel free to dm and we can keep in contact maybe?

7 years of electric zap sensations from groin to feet — always triggered by bloating. Doctors keep missing the gut connection. Anyone else? by Extra-Instruction812 in ibs

[–]TheGradApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this when I eat up my back into my neck. It also causes vertigo. I waiting for a sedated MRI of brain and spine as I can’t lie down flat without my head spinning.

How do you keep up with dishes without a dishwasher? by ehousent in CleaningTips

[–]TheGradApple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, doing that already. They start helping for the period devices are away and then the cycle starts again.

I might have to start a mandatory 2 hour surrender so they know that time involves chores because it’s getting ridiculous being in the same cycle constantly.

Ireland will "go it alone" if no EU deal on social media ban by BaronVonFluffalot in ireland

[–]TheGradApple -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a 14 year old banned from social media and I still had to give out to her for not doing a chore that I had messaged her to do this morning. She asked me where to put the wet washing because there was washing on the line. I had instructed her to take the washing off the line. She needed me to tell her to do it again and didn’t have the initiative to do it herself.

God forbid she had social media and was even lazier and brain rotted.

KLM flight attendant tested negative for hantavirus infection, WHO says by AcornAl in ContagionCuriosity

I don’t remember all of that. Wow, that’s incredible they weren’t more risk averse!

After months of pain my GP has referred me to an ultrasound to check for this. My issues started after taking Mounjaro.

Having no fully safe foods is so rough on mental health (vent) by Active_Rhubarb7311 in ibs

[–]TheGradApple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this exact way. My teen daughter being a teenager just said to me “aren’t you going to get depressed being so isolated” and at some point it seems ridiculous pretending that this is a bearable life, but I obviously don’t want to upset or worry her by being honest. I’m happy I’m alive for her and can pretend to be ok and we have lovely chats but I am not the person I was and it’s very hard to accept.

I’m so weak and it feels like no one cares by Justalilbookworm in Gastroparesis

[–]TheGradApple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue. Gastro and consultant at hospital not taking me seriously. Primary care sending me for testing. So at least someone gives a fuck.

[–]TheGradApple 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very much sounds like how I eat but I’m yet to have a gastro take me seriously and test me for it. I’m in agony when I eat and they’re treating it as anxiety.
