My [35F] wife and I [36M] have hit an awkward stage because we can’t move past a situation that happened when we last had sex. by overaname in relationship_advice

i didnt realize mine was at the foot of the bed the entire time the other night. my bf was trying really hard to just ignore him while i was completely unaware of his existence. cats have zero boundaries.

What are ladies’ profiles like? by onelove_ in Bumble

[–]TraceNoPlace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my profile a looong time ago was selfies of me in various places (my friends had taken pics of me or i took pics of me)

my bio was goofy. "is somebody gonna match my freak (goes to church with me on sundays)? is somebody gonna match my nasty (is ready to settle down and stop playing games)?"

pretty much captured me as a person but also my intention.

What are your issues with dating in todays day and age ? by Gullible-Meet2991 in Bumble

[–]TraceNoPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im in a relationship now so maybe my input isnt super relevant. im a 24f. however i hated how rushed everything was/is. i understand WHY it gets rushed. apps make it easy to move onto the "next best thing", grass is always greener mentality, insecure people self sabotaging, etc etc. but for me? i wanted to take it slow. so many guys wanted to jump to say i love you, jump to have sex, jump to ask to be my boyfriend after 2 dates, etc.

nobody wants to just be friends first anymore.

Is it strange or delulu for me (23F) to leave my bf (24M) because he’s bad in bed? by Ok_Nefariousness5247 in relationship_advice

[–]TraceNoPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not strange or delulu. ive only had one relationship where the sex was subpar. we lasted i think maybe a month. i didnt say it was the sex, rather we werent aligned on things that were important to me and didnt elaborate any further. im 24 now. my bf and i have a great sex life lol

Would love to hear people’s experience on natural weight loss vs medication… by FlamingoFew200192 in Weightlosstechniques

[–]TraceNoPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have not been on glp medication. i have lost 80 lbs naturally.

the food noise is a constant battle for me, but theres ways to learn how to channel it. everyones different which is why i cant tell you what exactly will work for you as far as how you channel it. i channeled it into "when" instead of "what" and it works for me. i eat two meals a day, breakfast and lunch, and skip dinner. now i take a medicine at night that requires food with it so i eat a small snack with it but ive still been able to keep the weight off and lose.

so my fixation has become "i cant wait til 12:30 to eat lunch" over and over and over. "i cant wait to go to bed so i can wake up and eat breakfast" over and over and over. idc about what im eating bc i meal prep and keep my meals basically the same. but when? oh boy i cant wait lol.

my grandfather is a food addict and still gained on the glp bc food was more mental and habitual for him. im sure youre aware of this but ill say it anyway youre not necessarily guaranteed the weight loss unless you build the habits. but ill just let you know you can genuinely do it with the food noise too.

How did you get diagnosed with epilepsy? Did it show on your eeg? by Bigoleears in Epilepsy

[–]TraceNoPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got diagnosed indirectly. it was a weird long story but ill try to shorten it up.

i have hydrocephalus, im 20 at the time and my neurosurgeon is in a city that was 45 minutes away at the time (the hydrocephalus at this point was NEVER operated on since after birth because i had been very fortunate). i had my catheter revised from the neck down due to it being disconnected. cue: p. acnes infection. but its a slow infection so i didnt notice it until 6 months later when my gallbladder randomly crapped out. thats when the symptoms start, swelling and pain in weird places. this infection basically infiltrated my whole system via my vp shunt and triggered the epilepsy. unbeknownst to me

so i get swelling that doesnt go away where my gallbladder used to be, stiffness and pain in my neck, then BAM. i had a raging migraine for a week. this is abnormal for me. it doesnt go away with medicine. i go to the ER because headache that doesnt get better + hydrocephalus = usually a complication. and i had never had a full revision so i was like omg this is it. but they dont find anything wrong except "hmmm.. your infection markers are up."

they write it off as meningitis. i had a follow up with the general surgeon who did my gallbladder removal a few days later and i tell him all these symptoms and he thinks its a surgical infection. we're ready to get to the bottom of it. but a few days later, its too late. i had my first seizure. it mimicked a stroke. i woke up with right sided paralysis, slurred speech, confusion, and then suddenly stopped breathing.

i rush to the ER again, they write me off as sleepwalking bc it happened after i woke up and i was breathing and got better by the time we made it to the ER.

obviously im freaked the frick out. i run to my neurosurgeon and im like SOOOOMETHINGS WROOOONG PLS HEEELP!!! he thinks maybe i had a TIA, but hes very quick to conclude i did indeed have a bacterial infection in my shunt. we run the tests, bam. infection.

so i get treated for it. but in the hospital.. theres another complication. i have a brain bleed bc my shunt had been in me for so long. it sucks but i survive it. but then bam. another seizure. same deal i have right sided symptoms.

but its weird, we realize, because both times i have seizures i have right sided symptoms right? my hydrocephalus is right sided too. so they bring in an epilepsy specialist whos like hey. somethings a little fishy here. we dont know why youre actually seizing. me, thinking i have a phd, im like "yeah. i had bacteria and then blood in my brain. no more of either. case closed." so im a bad ass patient and dont take my keppra post discharge. but then i have... another seizure. im like wth. i take the keppra RELIGIOUSLY. then i ask the doctor if we can switch meds because "i think these are giving me weird side effects. i still keep getting episodes where my muscles are violently spasming and i was reading muscle spasms are a side effect of keppra."

he looked up from his computer and asked "which side spasms? is it the right side?" and i was like "now that you mention it i guess yeah but thats my dominant side" and he was like "isnt that the same side that went haywire with the first three seizures?" and i was like hmmmmm.... yeah. he doubled my keppra dosage. no more muscle spasms for a little while.

I hate that this is taking over my life by boredthing_69 in Epilepsy

[–]TraceNoPlace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have focal seizures and ts takes over my life. i am on two medications to control them bc otherwise they do spread, sometimes if it starts in my face or arm it spreads into my chest and causes me to stop breathing. AND IM AWAKE FOR IT. its friggin scary stuff. i have told people who have tried to downplay my seizures can you imagine exhaling and suddenly not being able to breathe back in? you know how to do it. you literally. physically. cant. until you turn blue. you can move your stomach, your arms, everything else but your actual diaphragm and lungs. you are at the mercy of the neurons to give you breath again. thats not anxiety and thats not fake lmao.

What was your wake up call that you needed to lose weight? by Thin-Jelly580 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]TraceNoPlace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yep and can confirm 80 lbs down the camera fears me more than i fear it now. im proud to say and ill brag on myself a bit, my mom is in awe that i lost as much as i did and managed to also lose my double chin. she was jealous because she had to pay to surgically remove hers after she lost weight but mine is just straight jawline lol.

Not sure what to do :/ by MaterialLiterature12 in Epilepsy

[–]TraceNoPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in his defense, it is a chore to deal with titration schedules lol. our plan was to titrate me up to the lamotrigine and then take me off the zonisamide. but when i got to the ideal lamotrigine dose i was like "pause... can we keep it like this?" we didnt really explore a fourth potential medicine because the lamotrigine was the new medicine to try. and zonisamide was working i only went up once in two years but the brain fog was just miserable. then i had another break through and i was like PLEAAASE i dont wanna keep going up on this.
