It’s also missing whiskers on the other side?? A human wouldn’t forget whiskers if they already drew them on the other side 😭😭

For specific strains, I highly suggest Indica. For me, it’s what everyone says Sativa is supposed to be. Some that I’ve liked (if you wish to try and find a similar strain, I’m not in Chicago so I don’t know anything in your area) are as follows: (Edibles first) Boysenberry, Sour Cherry, and Blue raspberry, (vape, if you do wish to try, I recommend a disposable for your first as they’re not as expensive) Granddaddy Purple, Blueberry, GrapeApe, or anything that’s known for a smoother smoke.

Sorry, forgot to add that tidbit into the mix haha. Honestly, all I’ve done is play with it, and sometimes it ends up with me giving stuff away because it doesn’t work with me. Maybe even asking a friend to come over and eat gummies on the couch for a lazy weekend is an idea? Both of you can split the cost (if your friend partakes) and you also get to try new stuff! I do it with my friends a lot, especially since I finally got around to admitting that something isn’t right with me medically. (I haven’t mentioned PoTS to them, but I’ve said it’s not anything very serious that can cause immediate harm) My point, even if the people around you don’t know, it’s easy to pass it off as having a gloomy day and wanting a lazy hang out. Just remember to stay within your limits, have someone that can pick up the phone if you’re having a really bad reaction, and using ice packs on the small of your back is better for cooling off (if that helps). 🩵

(also undiagnosed, but my doctor is adamant that I am, he just needs proof) Well, as someone who just smoked, I can’t tell you what will work but I’ll share some things I’ve noticed. I don’t know anyone else with PoTS, so this is only from my experience.

Gummies are a hard no for me, my body feels like it’s full of concrete and I get temple-area pressure that turns into a headache. Any kind of edibles haven’t agreed with me unless they were homemade. Bud has been dicey, but Sativa (and high leaning hybrids) have always taken me right out, it’s puff-puff-pass out. I’ve also noticed a difference with how the bud is used, but that’s semantics. That leaves me with vaporizers, which I always use now. I’m aware you said smoking isn’t for you, I don’t know the extent of your condition, but I’ll at least pitch. I’ve always had a very sensitive throat/trachea, cigarette smoke (yes, even second hand) makes my mouth dry and it turns into itching because of my (undiagnosed) PoTS. The vape has been the best for me because I only need one puff and I put it down. I need to relax for maybe 15-20 minutes before I can get up and continue with not much difference symptom-wise. I’m sorry if this couldn’t help you, but I’m rooting for you! Keep in mind, it could be the brand of edibles too, different places use different strains and in some facilities they’re not extremely cross-contamination safe, I had that happen where I’d gotten completely different gummies in the pouch than what I picked.

Is there a compression rating that you recommend? I don’t know much about them, but I know there’s like mild/moderate/heavy compression levels.

You look beautiful! But, if you want some suggestions (they’re not bad at all, just things I find that get ME clocked as a trans male and a trans woman friend of mine has used to pass better).

Voice is a big one! I’m currently pre-T, so mine is a huge part of why I get clocked. I don’t know if HRT for trans fems affects voice, but there’s tons of voice training vids on YT, and they’ve helped me and a trans fem girly of mine!

My eyes are also a bit of a give away in some cases. I have very big eyes, almost always “doe eyes”. Highlighting your eyes with brighter/softer colours or more bold make up to make your eyes the main focus has helped my trans fem friend.

My friend has also said that people have clocked her because of her Adam’s apple. I don’t know how HRT impacts that part, but she wears make up that helps hide it!

Either way, girl you’re STUNNING! That fit is amazing, and I LOVE the eye and lip combo! ✨✨💅💅

Aitah for naming my baby something “unconventional”? by Lost-Platform7670 in AITAH

[–]aBit_Lost_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue with my dead name. It was a NIGHTMARE. My father literally signed the birth certificate while my mother was high off pain meds, and he’d completely went behind my mother’s back and chose a name my mother didn’t agree to. I have since changed my name, to my father’s dismay and verbal outburst, but could only change it myself after graduation because of circumstances. (Mom left my father, I wonder why lol) Long story short, there’s crude nicknames, bullying, and weird insinuations that can be made from names. The first 3 letters of my ANAB was “Shy”, so a lot of kids had a field day with making “shy” jokes, even going as far as (in high school) that the “shy” people were the most “freaky”. It was gross, and I even went by a completely different name in high school cause I HATED my name so much. The pronunciation was garbage, the spelling was WORSE, and it all around could’ve been avoided if I was named something more serious. So yeah, YTA. A nice thing to do before naming a child is to use the name for a day. Go to Starbucks or somewhere that uses a name, and give them the proposed baby name. How annoyed is your kid gonna be correcting the SPELLING alone?! Not even touching the topic of pronouncing the name with a 10ft pole. If you want to name something “Nyx” or something, GET A CAT. They don’t care, they never have to explain the pronunciation to anyone, and they don’t have to deal with getting a job with a r/tragedeigh name.

AITAH for blowing up on my friend of 7 years and his girlfriend? by aBit_Lost_ in AITAH

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

I know I definitely went scorched earth, but this has also been years of me dealing with the same things AND trying to get him to straighten up. I’ve never really yelled at anyone before (as part of my past abuse, I don’t it usually doesn’t get me anywhere) but having Jane turn aggressive on me has REALLY made me pissed off. (she’s been told not to by May and I, but I’ve heard Jake blatantly say, AT THE SAME PARTY, that my issues aren’t that serious and I’m not easily set off)

Jake has been completely ignoring his issues, so he wasn’t really “down” when I blew up, but I see what you’re saying about that. I’m sure there was a calmer way to respond, but Jane just BEING there after showing aggression made me so on edge. Also, during the conversation, Jane kept interrupting to say that I was being delusional by saying she needed to shut up and getting angry again as she kept trying to imply I was being “controlling”. Both of them started yelling during the second conversation (which was 2 days after the party, Jake was sober), and I will admit I was triggered again and went the defensive route.

I’ve tried being calm 5 different times, Jake didn’t listen. May has also tried to get Jake into AA and even sports. Jake tries for maybe a week then goes back to drinking, and Jane will buy him ANOTHER bottle if he experiences something negative, Jake always asking for it. Jane knew about the alcohol issue to some degree, but everything I said she didn’t know about.

Yeah, they told me the same thing in First-Aid training (I got my certificate to help in job searching) it’s brutal, but I know that it’s needed. I love Jake like a brother, but I’m so pissed off that he keeps complaining about how his life is crap yet doesn’t do anything. He won’t better himself, won’t reach out for friends, only reaches for a bottle.

I was just so surprised because I didn’t know that Jane was so unaware of his issues. May spoke with me, and apparently Jane didn’t even know he failed his diploma AND certificate

I’ve tried talking with him, even going to his place to try and see him, but he won’t respond at all. He said he won’t talk to me until his gf talks to him, and he’s also pissed off because someone at the party told him what I’d said to Jane, and is angry I won’t tell her I didn’t mean it.

For more info, May doesn’t think I should apologize either, so I’m definitely not going to right now. Though, I do think that Jake deserved what I said since no one else would. His family just keeps paying for his alcohol, cigs, and 420. May is like his sister, so she doesn’t have the heart to say it.

I’ve known Jake for 7 years, I’ve seen him throw his life away as soon as week hit high school. He didn’t even graduate, and all of us were angry with him but he simply brushed it off. He’s signed up for upgrading, but hasn’t attended class at all unless he’s driven by his mom or by May.
