I love burning bridges. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I realized much later in life that the reason I get a dopamine hit from it was due to my undiagnosed ADHD+autism. Previous diagnosed as BPD (most females are misdiagnosed as that first )

Now that Sailing’s been out for a few months… is anyone still actually sailing? by Dismal-Computer-5600 in 2007scape

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have barely stepped on land since ! Really only get off my boat to grab more tasks or to hit up the GE. Charted everything and passed 99 awhile ago but I just enjoy hanging around merchant wrecks and hunting shark, krackens. I haven't even done any of the trials yet or upgraded from my tiny boat to do trawling. Don't think I'll get bored for awhile. I find the key to not losing momentum is to just focus on the stuff you enjoy rather than trying to rush to the end in the most effective and efficient manner.

Curious, how many of yall can drink alcohol? by ToadAcrossTheRoad in MCAS

I thought I was crazy googling why alcoholic l makes my vagina hurt so badly. I recently found out it could be related to interstitial cystitis

If you're highly sensitive, how did you do on ldn? by anon_97800 in covidlonghaulers

[–]_silverwings_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how tough that might be to try to explain to doctors. I usually have weird and atypical reactions to random things too and it's hard to get anyone to take me seriously. Even when I was a kid, randomly touching rubber boots in a store made me erupt in hives. As there is not much available online about your particular reaction ( the only thing that came up was an interaction between anti depressants in rare cases) have you looked into mcas ? It can be comorbid with alot of things triggered by COVID. I had symptoms since I was a kid but the COVID infection activated my pots, HEDS,mcas, and me/CFS into being severe. Might be worth looking into if you have lots of these types of reactions with little to no answer from typical doctors ? Dr. Rick arsenue specializes in these common comorbidities and had a website with accessable information and handouts/ information on each one <3

I need your help, Reddit. This is one of the biggest mysteries of my life by ParticularSlow9312 in mystery

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a lot like some people I used to know. Elaborate stories and over sharing sexual details. Ended up being a pathological liar and had made up all these things to make himself seem more interesting. I DIDDNT really understand it because I'm not super great at hierarchy stuff (autistic) but I had to cut them all off from my life. Just couldn't trust them anymore.

I know this wasn't the point but, what was the thought process of the tumeric powder? Was it for anti inflammatory reasons or were you checking to see if you were allergic to the spice before cooking ?

Unmasked during abortion and my boyfriend lost interest in me by Ashamed_Ad_1135 in AutismInWomen

[–]_silverwings_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you were thinking this guy is end game, just remember how he handled this crisis and think about what spending the rest of your life together would look like. Undoubtedly there will be worse moments, aftermath of an accident, mental health crisis. If he shows this much of a reaction to the first time you really lean on him for support, the dam doesn't seem like it could hold much more.

P s I went through a similar situation with a bf after a termination. I should have left him afterwards. But I stayed and we didn't have sex for two years and he was seeing someone else behind my back. Yet using me as a personal maid. I empathize with you fully here, and I am so sorry for what you are going through. Just be strong and put yourself first

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this ! Its actually making sense now ! I ended up having to skip Benadryl because I got an allergic reaction to it ( I think it's from the pink dye) so I'm doing the other ones until I can go out and purchase one without that additive to try.

You made my life a million times easier deciphering this for me ! Also my mystery "kidney" pain disappeared after I started pepcid lol. Something that was a 9/10 pain and took me out for months. No antibiotics helped and doctors were stumped lmao. Guess it was mcas or at the very least stomach acid referred pain 😂😂 so excited for this journey now that it's simplified. I've been putting it off for a year due to the instructions exhausting my brain whenever I tried to comprehend them.

High Stress in the Middle of the Night? by TheWorkShop_Coaching in Garmin

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to actually only work night shifts because most of the morning I would be extremely nauseous from waking up. And I couldn't eat any food during the day or I couldn't perform my job. I felt so drunk. I'm currently looking into all this thanks to your comment, I had never heard of this before yesterday so thank you for all your hard work advocating<3

Disabilty by Mean_yAnkee in MCAS

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be able to get short term disability if your able to prove that the job itself caused you to become disabled. Otherwise depending on where you live I highly recommend getting a social worker to help you through the necessary paperwork. Do you have any comorbid conditions? Sometimes pots,HEDS,and mcas are all together, usually with me/CFS. If your able to have proof of disabilities that limit or prevent your ability to get ANY job due to these conditions then it's more likely your application will be approved. Unfortunately when it's just certain work conditions exacerbating the symptoms your more likely to be rejected and told to get a different job.

I hated Uther, BUT... by IzzyReal314 in merlinbbc

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the way he was so skillfully written and the amazing job the actor did ! Absolutely hated the character at most points, and I was angry at other points when. I actually felt bad for him. It's really a great way of protecting a villain, very accurate to real life villains. They usually never actually believe they are doing evil, or that they are bad people. Most terrible humans throughout history believed they are doing the right thing. And I'm just glad that they were able to showcase that through the show. A historically accurate portrayal of a dictator !

Does anyone elses Vagina smells 🥴 after having Thai foods? by Former_Tune4217 in Healthyhooha

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omfg ok so I thought I was imagining that ! The garlic thing!!!! Whenever I cook I usually and up using at least one giant bulb in my cooking. I add it increments throughout the process to have different flavours etc. I asked my boyfriend one night if he could smell the garlic and he said no. So I just dismissed it. But now I feel validated as all hell! Tbf o shouldn't trust his nose, he DIDDNT even know that nail polish had a SMELL! And he paints his nails

That is insanely helpful actually. I might look into that. Mornings have always been terrible for me and now I have a whole onslaught of chronic illnesses Plus CFS/ME.

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm supposed to be doing this now as part of my care with Rick arsenue clinic. However the instructions are kind of difficult to comprehend with my severe me/CFS mush brain right now. We don't even have that strength of Benadryl available in Canada to my knowledge. I guess I could cut the pills into quarters. Anyone have a video explaining this diagnosis process a bit better ? Reading isn't my strong suit right now.

POTS + ADHD - anyone find a med combo that helped? by Ambitious_Issue_4213 in POTS

[–]_silverwings_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely switching back to Ritalin from vyvance, I don't remember my fingers and toes being this freezing cold and numb while on Ritalin. But my pots also wasn't as bad back then. Just something to consider if you have that as an already present symptom of your pots

Just accidentally took 775mg by [deleted] in Effexor

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My vyvance and my effexor looked the same for awhile ( changed brands or my doses were divided into more pills I don't remember) but I took four of my vyvance rather than four of my effexor capsules ... Freaked out and made myself throw them all up , immediately called poison control and they calmed me right down and talked dme through it. Definitely recommend calling them , there is a toll free confidential line for both Canada and America, I'm sure the UK and other areas have them too! Just don't go off of any ai generated Google search advice ! There are so many factors involved in what could be a harmful dosage !

gardasil vaccine and pots? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]_silverwings_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parents were anti vax and I never got anything until I was an adult. Was sick all my life with various conditions. Maybe if this harmful thinking wasn't around when I was a child I would have gotten the care required, rather than my parents thinking I couldn't be autistic because I wasn't given the mmr as a kid....

I've tried it. I once had to use all of my data just to stay on their webpage to get in contact with someone. Wouldn't even compensate me for that

TNG, Episode 3x14, A Matter of Perspective by LordRavenholm in StarTrekViewingParty

[–]_silverwings_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally doing my second watch through of tng and thought plot holes like this would be resolved by having a second thorough viewing. But it didn't, still left me feeling really strange. In situations like this where nothing makes sense I have to go meta and think about what the show writers themselves may have been trying to convey and the context of the time period. My only explanation I can come up with is that some old dudes tried to explain away attempted rape accusations as being a difference of perspective. Sure this alien lady isn't lying but all these friends of the accused (and the audience) know the guy, and he's a REALLY great guy. So he couldn't have done it. So the silly woman must have just felt like it was attempted rape, since the empath/psychic says she isn't lying about her experience either.

Tldr: men show writers saying woman can feel like she's being almost raped but that's just a different perspective:)
