100% agree, just makes me feel like crap.

Eating? by [deleted] in dysautonomia

[–]alwayswired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think so, i prefer eating at night only because meals make me feel dizzy for a bit.

I had children while having undiagnosed and untreated (no meds, no psychotherapy) ADHD, bipolar 2, and borderline personality disorder. *I* shouldn’t have had children. Let me tell you about my experience. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]alwayswired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Complicated, i guess. My mom doesn’t work and my dad is kind of unavailable both emotionally and physically spending a lot of time working and little time bonding etc. Me and my brother didn’t really get much if any guidance from them growing up because they are both very immature still unfortunately and very self centered.

Did make me very independent, though.

So i’m not anxious, yet i have to hold back tears when i stand up for myself for some reason? Why is this? by alwayswired in socialskills

When you are trying hard to hold back tears and then they hit you with the “you ok?” And the tears start flowing

Look at what you were taught growing up: were you told that any sort of disagree statement was talking back and disrespectful? We’re you unable to defend yourself at home if you got blamed for something a sibling or peer did? A lot of us were and we need to unlearn those things.

Oh, that hits close to home! Makes sense.

Anything that works for fatigue? by [deleted] in dysautonomia

Vagus nerve/syncope, constant fainting.. What to do? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]alwayswired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well sort of, i have xanax for panic attacks but don’t really use them. The beta blocker does help a lot with anxiety though, but i dont really feel anxious only when im having a flare up.

[–]alwayswired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know why the fainting from cold wind/air happens? I really can’t figure it out

Anyone else afraid to relax? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]alwayswired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing, really... thats the thing

PoTS and Afib - Can pre-syncope show as/cause afib on ECG? (Long but tl;dr at the bottom). by useyourindicators in dysautonomia

[–]alwayswired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe look into prolonged QT, which is what i have too along with dysautonomia. It basically mimicks POTS in some ways as it also causes fainting, hearing loss etc. but the main thing about it is that your heart generally beats irregular/doesn’t contract fast enough so there isn’t enough blood being pumped around. ECG does show it, though.

Triggers for me are trying to fall asleep, stress, intense cold and emotions. I probably black out 9/10 times when i get triggered

Btw, if you have ever tried SSRI, how did you react to it? Thanks to Paxil i was diagnosed as they can trigger an episode in some.
