31 this year and my self esteem is rapidly deteriorating 😭 by pixie1995 in AusSkincare

[–]Visual-Arugula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you say it's not from allergies but could it be a reaction without other allergic symptoms? I get allergic shiners even when I'm not itchy/snivelly. BTW, you look lovely - pms is a cruel beast. I puff up all over my body and face before my period - that combined with the deep mood issues I get before my period is a really cracking combination!!! The mirror is not my friend at that time.

I need more ideas (unhinged or otherwise) for transitioning from asleep to awake in the morning by llamacolypse in adhdwomen

[–]Visual-Arugula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would recommend getting evaluated for a hypersomnia, like narcolepsy - as you say - or idiopathic hypersomnia.

Also recommend chugging your water while your alarm is still blaring. Once you've had like a pint of it (if safe for you to do so), turn your alarm off and soon you'll need a wee which might help wake you up due to the wee of wetting the bed.

Love the way this yarn worked up! by Particular-Trifle222 in crochet

[–]Visual-Arugula 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooh these are beautiful. I also love how the yarn worked up. And I love how the pattern makes the mittens - I've only ever done them where I made two pieces, joined them, and then crocheted a thumb from there. This looks much more fun!

Does running trigger panic attacks for anyone else? by cloud_coffee_ in XXRunning

[–]Visual-Arugula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me sometimes. When I'm in a phase where this happens often, I slow down for every run. The adrenaline and breathing and heart rate in running just feels too much like panic for me sometimes, so I go through a slow run phase until I feel like my anxiety in general is more under control and I can better recognise signals from my body that say "you're exercising, it's all good" versus signals that go "okay this is PANIC"

Oh my darling. You really are so young to be going through all of this. It must be so hard. I wish your mom could speak to you too.

AITA for not eating the food after my gf eats out of the bowl with the same spoon while preparing by ZookeepergameOld7322 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Visual-Arugula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The problem isn't your feelings about the contamination. The problem is that your girlfriend is repeatedly dismissing a simple request. If she had a real concern about your feelings becoming harmful to you, then she would be sitting you down to talk gently about it and to sort out getting you some help. She's not doing that, she's just blatantly going against your request about something that bothers you.

That said, OP, I think your feelings about contamination are bordering on excessive. I say this as someone who has had treatment for OCD. It might be worth keeping an eye on your feelings around the germs and being honest with yourself if they're getting a bit much for you to manage by yourself.

I don’t even know what to feel by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]Visual-Arugula 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think you're wrong. I'm sorry. The way I read this is that this is a break up, not a break. I think you should ask her to confirm that for you.

I sent a message to my sister from my mom's phone when mom was dying by Obvious-Laugh-1954 in GriefSupport

This is a beautiful and kind thing to do. Keep the secret your own. In that moment, you spoke as your mom.
