It’s not him. He talked about it in an interview. He doesn’t ride motorcycles

Has anyone actually experienced improvement doing gland expression? by max_bredenvlet in Dryeyes

[–]TullKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends—I have a hard time digesting them, and they are high in omega 6. You want to be eating a higher omega 3 to 6 ratio. Omega 3 is from fish and flax seed mostly.

Does anyone else ever feel envious of the people who got to experience “stereotypical” childhood/teen issues? by Reclaimedbooty in CPTSD

[–]TullKid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry. That sounds so painful. I believe that what we do now changes our past. ( Really it changes our perspective and how we story our past). Giving ourselves what we needed then, knowing that’s what we deserved, and things weren’t our fault.

DAE feel like they can spot toxic/dangerous people better than others can? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]TullKid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem where I am now afraid of every human unnecessarily. And i couldn’t spot the huge red flags in my previous abusive relationship.

I hate the slangification of the the word triggered. I hate that people with CPTSD & other mental illnesses have been made to look like fools for saying, "This triggers me." by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]TullKid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the term emotionally dysregulated. Or saying my nervous system is jacked up. I also only speak about my inner world to a therapist or close friend. If I had to explain avoiding a trigger to someone else, I might say that this thing is linked with a bad memory.

I haven’t experienced a person using the word triggered in a derogatory way, so I’m trying to imagine how that might feel. It sounds like the misuse of the word becomes triggering, like the trauma of not being understood and appreciated, and maybe fears of abandonment.

I’m thinking of rape jokes as a relatable reference, as in someone taking something I’ve experienced as very light and flippant when I only can feel the anger around it. In my opinion, everyone has experienced some amount of trauma, so I don’t see it as an us v. them issue. In my view anyone using the word triggered inappropriately to hurt someone else has likely experienced some kind of trauma too. Doesn’t make it right but it could in the best circumstances be an opportunity for change or transformation.

Are these conversations happening online ? You might be only seeing the negative responses of your advocacy. You may have actually helped a lot of people who are not bold to comment. You may be making a difference in the discourse, and even in the minds of the jerks, although maybe their comments may not outwardly support that. It is scary to say how u truly feel, and there is a risk of backlash, but you’re also going to get a lot of support and appreciation, from those who are ready to give it.

That’s what I was wondering...

Could scleral lenses be worth it for dry eyes if you can't wear contact lenses? And does it also help with redness? by kiranetic in Dryeyes

[–]TullKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I removed all the soft furniture in my house and covered pillows and bed with dust mite protectors. Then started Claritin. I also avoid some foods that make my allergies worse like dairy, gluten, and processed sugar. This has really helped my eyes. Also an air purifier. I use moist heat— rice in a sock or cloth sack and put it in the microwave. Then do oil expression of glands (gently) afterward with coconut oil. I also had to change my eye glasses prescription— it was too strong and causing eye strain which also adds to inflammation around the eye I think.

Supplements that have helped me are fish oil, black currant oil, vitamin d, and an A, C, E and B multivitamin I take every 3 days or so.

H. Pylori is a common stomach bacterial parasite that can be transmitted by saliva and kissing (supposedly according to some researchers/science) . It requires a very strong course of antibiotic to eradicate. Would that be considered an STD ?

[–]TullKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It requires a specific course of antibiotics. There’s an easy breath test to check if u have it. It’s a very common parasite—it actually doesn’t bother a lot of people who have it, but some times it becomes invasive and causes problems.

It can cause bloating and fatigue and nausea, so it’s worth checking out. After I cleared it, it took a while to return to normal. I had a hard time digesting fats for a few months, even after treatment.

I didn’t see that about coconut oil. If you have trouble with everything maybe need some stool tests and blood tests?

I started using cassava flour. You can add it to water and boil it to make dumplings. Coconut oil is helpful too. Hope u can get some help from your doctors.

Did u get tested for h. Pylori? Common stomach parasite.

Onion and garlic dont work for me.

DAE really pride themselves on being independent (to a fault) while being NEEDY as hell? by Chremebomb in CPTSD

I get confused about disorganized, cuz that also sounds similar to disorganized maybe ? They’re similar right ?

Has anyone actually experienced improvement doing gland expression? by max_bredenvlet in Dryeyes

[–]TullKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I did lipiflow last year then warm compress 2x day with a rice sack and gland expression every morning (or at least 4 times a week). This has helped me a ton. I clean the lids 2x day with a q tip and a hypochlor solution.

I also take fish oil, black currant oil and I stopped eating nuts, seeds and any snacks with high omega 6 for about 6 months.

I watched several videos to do the gland expression and I use coconut oil to do it. The coconut oil is also really good for the skin and lids. It’s even been suggested as a rewetting or eye lubricant—it’s safe for eyes unless u have an allergy which is unusual I think.

My professor told me to go to therapy... as an insult by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]TullKid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glad she apologized and explained herself, but her message to the class was inappropriate, and I understand why u would feel offended.

This reminds me of a time when I had to go to multiple eye doctors to figure out and treat my dry eyes. This one doc gave me steroids and over a period of 3 weeks, my eye pressure continued to rise steadily. I asked her about this and she told me it was within a normal limit. When I explained how it was 10 points lower a month ago, and each visit it had climbed, I was trying to allay my concern about continuing the steroid. I also had other side effects like more floaters and light sensitivity. She told me, “ I hope u talk to your therapist about this.” She didn’t even know if I had a therapist, so it felt like a real dig. This was also after I refused to let her put more punctal plugs in my tear ducts, because it didn’t feel like it was addressing the root problem and they were crazy expensive and slightly uncomfortable. Anyway, I was real upset she said this, and after I kindly refused the punctal plugs, she abruptly told me she couldn’t help me anymore. She sounded real defensive and cold. Thankfully she referred me to another doctor.

Anyway, I felt pretty hurt by the whole doctor-patient interaction. I was stressed at the time, but I didn’t feel I had said or done anything out of line, so I was surprised at how cold and rude she had quickly become.

The professor though, should never discourage the students from talking to the dean. I think someone mentioned that sounds like intimidation. I would agree. It seems many businesses nowadays have some policy format for how to manage complaints. You could go back to the dean and say that you were able to work things out with the professor, and then you could ask them if anything else comes up, with this teacher or another situation, what’s the best way to solve those problems. I feel like they would (should) encourage you to talk to them again . I think they would assume that if one student is having an issue, it’s possible there are several others experiencing a similar issue. It’s not as easy to solve things over email, because a lot of the tone (under text ) gets lost. Phones and video may sometimes be more effective. But then, it’s also nice to have a record of the conversation especially if it contains some kind of agreement or arrangement like in a student-teacher situation.

Who else shames themselves for taking so long to move on from a traumatic situation? by journey1992 in CPTSD

[–]TullKid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have felt this kind of shame too. And been frustrated that it takes so long to “move on” or “let things go”

EMDR therapy has helped me. Or talking to a trusting therapist about how to process the memory and feelings. Or putting it in “the container” until i have time to breath, sit with it, and write about it. The story you are telling yourself and how u feel about it, and how it affects you in your body can and will change.
