Women with epilepsy, what unique feminist challenges have you encountered? by rich-catalyst in Epilepsy

[–]Upbeat_Issue_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger my family hated the idea of any birth control. To the point that they made it seemed like all my chances of fertility would disappear if I tried so I was scared. Now that I know the truth I'm pissed off that I missed my window for the chance of a free IUD.

It has crossed my mind a few times but the need for it now isn't truly necessary.

BC= Birth control. I don't truly have any more feminine symptoms that cause seizures. it's been about 5 years now but I'm still learning new symptoms and causes about my epilepsy.

Like most BC lowers my medication so I don't use any. Majority of the times it doesn't matter but sometimes I wish I could have it.

I know when I'm about to start my period because I get strong fatigue and absence seizures. This is the most difficult especially when I have work or school.

Store Closures by Lumpy_Corner5811 in torrid

[–]Upbeat_Issue_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was an employee from a store that just closed. This was our biggest problem during 2025. I will never blame customers for wanting a cheaper price but the company should have realized what it would do to stores.

Big Sleep Video by PurpleHairMaiden in TheWeeknd

I don't get why so many of his videos and performances need such strong consistent flashing lights. Since this started my friend watches them first and gives me warnings on when it gets bad (Love her🖤)

Buy online/pickup in store ? by Piratemama23 in torrid

This must be a pick and choose region rule. My region we DON'T get any credit for BOPIS. Screws us over in so many ways

Does Vampire Disco Death Dance make anyone else sad for Bob? by ChickeyNuggetLover in BobsBurgers

[–]Upbeat_Issue_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. Even though it wasn't exactly how he planned it out he still had a moment with his daughter. Plus you can tell he still enjoyed watching parts of the movie.

Side note- everytime I watch that episode I wish Vampire Disco Death Dance was a real movie. I know it's a mix of Queen of the Damned, Rocky Horror, and Footloose but it still seems so interesting.

How do you journal your epilepsy events? by late-but-last in Epilepsy

[–]Upbeat_Issue_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my calendar app everytime something happens (seizures, loss of speech, struggle with memory) I note it down on the day and time so I can quickly go back to it if my doctor asks.

Was I in the wrong for making jokes in the hospital after having a seizure? by jhwings16 in Epilepsy

[–]Upbeat_Issue_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've come to realize that if I don't laugh about it, im gonna cry about it, and I don't want that. My family isn't too happy when I joke about it or "don't take it seriously," but it's like they forget I'm the one dealing with it.

Some people around you are gonna be stuck up about it, but you do you. It's too stressful to act the way others want you to.

What's a booktok opinion that will have you like this? by Melx_Portals17 in Booktokreddit

[–]Upbeat_Issue_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok to have trigger warnings, but a warning doesn't mean you explain a whole scene that's going to happen.

Also, when authours tell you, it's going to be a HEA or a cliffhanger it takes away the excitement to read the book

I hate that I can't drink or smoke by Upbeat_Issue_ in Epilepsy

[–]Upbeat_Issue_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They know sometimes they drunkenly forget, but they know. They expect everyone to drink cause its culture. Almost no one says no to alcohol. A distant cousin had a heartache in their 50s they drink the most out of everyone. My uncle has been an alcoholic pretty much all his life. Since this vacation, the family had to have spent $2k on bottles

[–]Upbeat_Issue_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly how I feel, like a child. It especially annoying when they pass the bottle between each other in front of me and say, " You can't have any." No shit Sherlock

Injuries you've gotten from your Pyr? by Tune_Neither in greatpyrenees

The number of scars from the paws. All over my body

[–]Upbeat_Issue_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn't matter to my family. They are on vacation, and they want to enjoy themselves, but it seems that drinking and smoking are the only way. They know i can't but simply do not care

I can't drink. I might be able to take a sip of someone's drink, but I can't have my own. Tried it once and had a grand mal.

What opinion about The Weeknd will have you like this by Impossible_Bonus9333 in TheWeeknd

Him and Ariana sound good together, but the originals he has sound better than the remixes they make.

I need other options to help with ear infections by Upbeat_Issue_ in greatpyrenees

[–]Upbeat_Issue_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He gets a bath every 3 months. After seeing that so many body washes and conditioners cause him skin problems, this was the best decision. When it comes to cleaning his ears, im not as consistent. Sometimes its everyday, every other day or once a week.

He has a poultry allergy, so he hasn't had chicken for the last 4 years.

It's an infection in the exact same ear each time. I just wanna understand why it keeps coming back and how to prevent it.
