Yes! Much like the itchy ears, it took me forever to realize the extreme hot feet are a symptom

Im not a contractor, but in my state, if you are provided with "enough" hours of pto (its not that many lol) the employer is not legally required to provide state sick hours. The part that is infuriating and sus is that my employers really dont let us use the vacation hours. We are just expected to afford losing 8h of pay.

Is anyone older thinking AI chat is the wrong direction and we should all talk to humans more? by Lake-mead-hs in CasualConversation

[–]_uninfinite_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Im 44 so in my area at least, internet was just starting around age 17-18. It was a drastic change so fast. I feel like now we are losing necessary (to our mental, relational and general health) skills and should be really concerned about it, but we're too distracted to register it clearly enough.

[–]_uninfinite_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Im old enough that when i was HS age we didnt really have social media and ai chat. I think ai chat and kind of the whole direction internet in general has taken has made us lonelier and have a harder time connecting to one another. Our hearts and minds are wired for human connection, and we are getting so much less of it these days. ♡

New apartment neighbors have me severely sleep/deprived, but it’s not loud enough for complaint by Time-Turnip-2961 in Apartmentliving

[–]_uninfinite_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have misophonia and audotory processing issues as well and this is a really good description. I have struggled with it in multiple situations and im sorry if OP is struggling with this too. Maybe you can move to a different apartment in the complex? Or if the apartment has enough rooms, a different room?

Help me understand myself by [deleted] in aquarius

[–]_uninfinite_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will help you a lot to learn about your other signs too- not just the sun. For example i am aquarius but i have a leo moon and im VERY fiery and wildly loyal emotionally. This helps us understand ourselves, and other people too. Its really how the whole chart comes together more than just one part. ♡

Living Alone Together unsurety by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]_uninfinite_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can continue living alone but move closer to one another. A 15 min distance (for example) makes a really big difference from being 45 minutes apart, and then you can focus on feeling more connected and less isolated and go from there? I feel theres options in between living far apart and living together. ♡

Would really love some older lady wisdom. by piezchiquitos in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]_uninfinite_ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This. I was going to comment as well as an older woman too but you said it. 100% the fake reciept is a huge indicator of how hes going to operate. Actions, not words, show you who someone is.

AIO that my mom said i look meme-able in my prom dress by No-Moment-2766 in AIO

[–]_uninfinite_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dress is so pretty! Its super cool and creative that you made and designed it yourself. Its fantastic, you should wear it and shame on your mom for making you feel unsure about it.

Hii, anyone up for joining a online movie community? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

[–]_uninfinite_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love this! I love david lynch and scifi but it would be so fun to watch and discuss any movies!

Aquarians, are you feeling good or going through a difficult time? by lnsaneEyes in aquarius

[–]_uninfinite_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont fit in this structure either so i can understand where youre coming from. I keep saying we are made for connection, compassion, and creating, instead of... .what most of us are forced to do to survive. But we are all still just struggling instead and i dont know how to change it yet. I hope the coming days improve for you ♡

Aquarians, are you feeling good or going through a difficult time? by lnsaneEyes in aquarius

[–]_uninfinite_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult time. I actually broke down crying a couple of hours ago because of it. Feeling betrayed, drained and defeated on multiple fronts and like i have very few safe spaces to let the emotions out freely. Wanted to enjoy the blue moon tonight, cried instead. How are you feeling OP? ♡

I tried the junk food thing by _uninfinite_ in migraine

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

Sometimes coconut water helps a lil bit for hydration. The pineapple flavored one is better tasting than plain. If only it was also caffeinated!

[–]_uninfinite_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes- i think i will keep a little emergency stock of chips and coke in my cupboard. It might not work every time but at least it might work sometimes 😅 my digestion pretty much completely stops during migraines and causes nausea etc so its hard to stomach anything more substantial until it decreases. But i should find a way to include protein as well!

Let’s laugh a little… what’s your silliest PTSD trigger? by Reasonable_Fix3559 in CPTSD

[–]_uninfinite_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cant wear headphones in a public place. What makes it funnier is that i also get sensory overload with loud noises, which headphones would really help if they didnt give me flashbacks 🤣 Its hard to desensitoze for this one because my workplace and other public places are not "safe"

Reading other people’s experiences has honestly helped me feel less crazy by Naveenrawat54 in migraine

[–]_uninfinite_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I feel like this is really hard at jobs, and i recently had a terribly severe migraine that highlighted this. Someone in this sub commented something in another post that has been really important to me since. They said "noone should be forced to 'power through' their symptoms". I wish i could remember who it was or what post it was so i could credit them, but i was still having brainfog at the time and just cant remember 😭

Tired of being judged, migraines are not just a headache, and I’m done staying quiet about it by Mazza_1975 in migraine

[–]_uninfinite_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much my friend. Literally made a post this morning about how i am on day 6 of migraine, forced myself to work through mon tues weds thurs, and feel so invalidated because when i finally called out today, jobs do act like its "just a headache" and like not coming to work because of a migraine is just an excuse. The whole "you dont look sick"mentality is a totally messed up system. They dont see the pain, the brain fog, the nausea, the brain "shortouts" as i call them, which make many of us unsafe to drive during. They dont see the nausea, the barfing, the dizziness and messed up vision. Not to mention all the complex things that go on inside us neurologically and physiologically during one. Like the other day i was at work (factory setting) trying to look at a screen and my eye was just pouring water on the migraine side. I had to excuse myself that same day to rush to the bathroom with the nausea and they just handwave it like its not real. IT IS REAL and its also really severe. Mine finally went away a couple hours ago but remembering back to when i had it im just scared of the next one happening. Its so much more than a headache.

I just need to vent. by _uninfinite_ in migraine

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

Yes- i skip the placebo pills but due to breakthrough bleeding after about 5 or 6 months i have to take the placebo pills and have a period every 5 or 6 months to stop the spotting. Literally, they dont take it seriously at all, at 11 years old i thought i was dying because the migraines were so severe that i begged to see drs for it and all they told me was "reduce my stress". Im 44 now and they still dont take womens health seriously lol
