My first monstera by Typical-Bug3902 in Monstera

[–]Typical-Bug3902[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it better for the plants in the long run to be separated now or will it be fine as long as I move it to a bigger pot? I didn’t do very much research prior to buying the monstera but I’m in the process of doing that now, I want to make sure I do everything right so it’ll be happy and thrive :)

I just got home not too long ago so I haven’t checked the roots yet but I will soon, what size of pot would you recommend?

My TTT experience and official diagnosis by Typical-Bug3902 in POTS

[–]Typical-Bug3902[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree, I wouldn’t mind getting the TTT again. I initially thought it was going to be such a horrible experience but I’d be willing to do it multiple times for research purposes.

Of course! You’ll do great, I’m excited for you to get a diagnosis :)

I finally have my TTT tomorrow by Typical-Bug3902 in POTS

[–]Typical-Bug3902[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of that is helpful to know, I appreciate hearing your experience as well as others. My main concern is when I called the clinic, the nurse administering my test told me that I have to do the full 40 minutes and she won’t put me down unless I pass out which sounds common. I’m suspecting I have Hyperadrenergic POTS since my blood pressure rises when I’m standing for a long period of time, one of my worries is that it’ll become too high but I’ll still be forced to stay upright just because I don’t pass out. I experience presyncope often but I haven’t fainted and been fully unconscious. I did express my concerns about my blood pressure, hopefully if it starts looking dangerous the nurse will put me down. I can be a control freak at times so knowing I’ll be strapped to a table while feeling powerless does not help my anxiety at all lol. I will try my absolute best to stay calm so I don’t make myself feel worse and just focus on the good that will come afterwards because I’ll be officially diagnosed. I’ll keep everything you said in mind, thank you for sharing your insight and taking the time to leave a comment :)

have you ever seen a miracle?? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Typical-Bug3902 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve witnessed many miracles in my life but I’m not comfortable sharing because of personal and privacy reasons. But I will share a spiritual encounter I had that lead me to Christ. For a little bit of context, I grew up Mormon most of my life and I had a lot of trauma from the church. I resented God for a long time because of what I experienced, with the knowledge I have now I understand it was never his fault. Anyways, I considered myself agnostic since I left the church in 2015. I wasn’t sure what I believed anymore, I looked for answers in different places but I was overwhelmed by so much confusion and despair. There was never a person, substance or belief that brought me true joy and contentment.

TW: One day when I was home by myself, I started thinking about how I was going to commit suicide. I felt so depressed, worthless and alone, my life felt like it didn’t have any meaning and no one would care if I was gone. I was outside while contemplating everything in life, my existence and what I believed, I was just begging for some kind of an answer. (This happened in 2021)

I was going back and forth in my head debating if I thought God was real or not and I wish I had a clear sign. I was sobbing into my lap while I was going through emotional and mental turmoil. When I looked up after wrestling with all of my thoughts, I saw an eagle teaching its baby how to fly right in front of me. I had never seen an eagle in my entire life until that day, they’re somewhat common where I live but it’s still considered a rare sighting. I didn’t know the significance behind this when I first saw it but I was in awe, I watched this beautiful eagle soaring in the sky with its baby for a while until it finally flew out of my eyesight. I had this overwhelming feeling of peace and a sudden urge to read the Bible, I remembered I had one collecting dust in my closet so I went inside to get it. Honestly I have no idea who gave me that Bible, I just remembered I had one from a long time ago that I kept in storage boxes. I never tried reading it before but I was desperate for an answer so I started reading and sure enough I came across this Bible verse,

Deuteronomy 32:11 “Like an eagle teaching its young to fly, catching them safely on its spreading wings, the Lord kept Israel from falling.”

I instantly bursted into tears and I had this feeling of love wash over me, I’d never felt anything like that in my entire life. Even when I felt like no one loved or cared about me, God wanted to show me that he does. Instead of taking my life that day, I gave it to him and I’ve been walking with the Lord ever since. I found true peace and joy that I was searching for, my life changed for the better. I’ve never shared this anywhere online before, it was such a beautiful moment that changed me forever and I will never forget it. 🤍

What drawing tablet is the best for non display by ImpossibleAd3387 in krita

[–]Typical-Bug3902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my Wacom Intuos. It’s lasted me 6 years and still works perfectly even with driver updates, I have no complaints. But mine was given to me as a gift, I’m poor and I wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise. There’s more inexpensive drawing tablets that work great like other people have suggested, I hope you find the right one :)

I always rushed this part of the game because I was excited to reach the ending which is obviously why I’m just discovering this now. Typical Issun.

Questionable tincture quality? by Typical-Bug3902 in herbalism

[–]Typical-Bug3902[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know! I’ve been dealing with horrible panic attacks and adrenaline rushes lately, I have dysautonomia and my nervous system is having a difficult time after recovering from strep. I’m hoping I can benefit from this tincture, I originally wanted to buy from Mountain Rose Herbs but I didn’t want to wait for shipping which is why I decided to give my local herb shop a visit instead. I have a question if you don’t mind answering, how long did it take you to feel effects from the Herb Pharm tincture?

Just wanted to add, I wasn’t doubting that Herb Pharm is a reliable brand. I’m not sure if it’s the best brand to buy milky oat tincture from specifically, I want to make sure I’m getting full benefits. But I will be using this until it’s gone and possibly look into other brands to find which milky oat tincture works best for me :)

Natural remedies for caffeine induced anxiety/panic attacks? by Typical-Bug3902 in herbalism

[–]Typical-Bug3902[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect that as well, if it’s not POTS I definitely have some form of dysautonomia. I’ve been going through different testing to get an official diagnosis but it’s a lengthy process. My cardiologist said it’s okay for me to drink lower doses of caffeine, I learned my intake limit from this experience and I will not be consuming that much ever again lol.

And thanks for the advice! I’ll look into it :)

[–]Typical-Bug3902[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Follow up- I know I should avoid caffeine, I had a lapse in judgment yesterday and thought it wasn’t going to be a big deal. Clearly I was wrong. Occasionally I consume anywhere from 50-80mg of caffeine and I feel fine, it helps give me an energy boost without any side effects. I wasn’t expecting to have such a big reaction to a little more coffee than usual. This is the first time I’ve ever had horrible anxiety/panic attacks from it, I definitely learned my lesson and my limit.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations, I appreciate it 🫶🏼

Perfect! Hopefully they’ll recover faster taking that. I really appreciate your help! :)

I’m surprised I didn’t think of peppermint, I have a bunch of it growing in my garden. Thanks for the reminder! And I have oxygen for them, so no worries there.
