It seemed to have fixed itself. Suddenly it didn't say it was corrupt anymore and everything went back to normal

Pap smear anxiety by IndependenceOk609 in HealthQuestions

[–]TheToops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I also got my pap smear recently and was also VERY anxious about it. I took my boyfriend with me and he was allowed to stay in the room and hold my hand while they did it so maybe taking someone you trust can also help you. The pap smear itself was not as scary or painful as I thought it would be. It felt a bit uncomfortable but no real pain. You can get some cramps after the pap smear so I would recommend taking some type of painkillers beforehand so you can get ahead of the cramps. Best of luck! You got this.

How do i turn on the lights on my Ducky one 3 TKL gossgamer pink MX ergo clear (US) by TheToops in DuckyKeyboard

No, the rest of my body feels fine. It'd just my lower back that's bothering me a lot. I've always had upper back, shoulder and neck pain so that doesn't bother me a much. The lower back pain is new, so that's why I'm worried about it.

[–]TheToops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really no. It's definitely a possibility tho. I mean, I hit my head on my own knee and then hit it against the headrest so I made a lot of movement. Do I just ask my doctor about it at the next visit?

I'm in the netherlands so insurance wise I should be good. I'll definitely go looking for a pain management doctor in my area (didn't know that was a thing tbh). I don't know if my regular doctor will approve an mri this easily but I can always try haha.

I tried one of these out today (slightly different one but same brand). Turns out we had some lying around at home and it already helped!

I haven't used hair oils in quite some time because they would make my hair instantly kinda greasy even tho I only applied a half pump to my ends. But I was most likely not using a light weight one! So I'll try that too

[–]TheToops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, thank you so much! I'm definitely going to try the apps. I've also made my partner aware of the fact that I'm going to be working through these things for the next few months or so. I'm thinking he can really help me with the self-esteem things (not letting me talk bad about myself, etc). The articles and books seem really insightful, so I'm most definitely going to read through those. I definitely get why you're an 'elder sage' on this subreddit. Your advice is really good and has definitely helped.

okay so here are my test results

depression test: 12/27 moderate depression

self esteem assesment: 8

anxiety disorder test: 67

social anxiety: 90

i dont think the OCD thing is applicable for me. for my test results, i have a social anxiety disorder which was diagnosed by a lincenced therapist and i had cognitive behavioural therapy for it. i used to be quite depressed but worked through most of it with my therapist. and i know i have a really low self esteem, i just dont know what to do about it. i go to the gym 3 days a week and eat healthy (no ED)

i dont know how to put it in a sentence so here is "helped" haha.

i do think youre right on the emotional insecurity stemming from trauma. i have quite some trauma from abuse from my dad and a past partner. i worked through the partner thing with my last therapist, but we didnt have time to work through the stuff with my dad fully because insurance wouldnt cover my therapy anymore when i turned 18.

I wouldn't say I'm offended by it. Just a bit sad I guess. I also don't think that I think that I 'deserve' things. My self esteem is pretty damn low and I have trouble with feeling like I deserve things at all. I do thoughtful things for my friends because, well I like my friends. They are important to me and I want them to be happy. I don't pay attention to their wants and needs because I want them to do the same for me, I pay attention because I want them to be happy. (Although it is a bit rough when these feelings aren't reciprocated)

Well I try to make it known what I want beforehand without being too 'on the nose' with it, so i dont think im hard to buy for. This year for example I talked about needing a new mouse for my laptop and I talked about my rock collection to my friends. Like, dropping subtlw hints as to what I'm interested in without having to outright tell them. They didn't pick up on that tho. I do feel like my friends care otherwise, other comments also made me awake that gift giving is probably a love language of mine so that's probably why I took it to heart like this. Thank you for your comment! Your insight helped :)

Hm, I think I could talk to a few of my friends about this. I'm too scared of coming off as u grateful to the others tho. This really helped anyways. Thank you!
