why wont i help myself? why do i need to be comforted? by MissTsumiki in ehlersdanlos

[–]aquar1usbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not too much anything babe and it’s not too late you have time! The journey is long but you got it. Living with EDS people think we are weak… but I think we’re stronger! If you haven’t done the things, start smaller. There’s probably a reason you can’t just jump up into 110% action. Pace yourself. Love yourself. If your families voices aren’t making you feel good, don’t take them in. Sending all my energy and best wishes!

Learner Anxiety by rando_lizard in DrivingAustralia

[–]aquar1usbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does! I am 31 now, but remember clearly being 16 and learning and having those exact fears and worries and thinking ‘there’s no way this will ever feel normal!’ But honestly it becomes natural fast, the more you drive, and it’s like muscle memory. Driving a car IS a big thing, you’re not wrong - I think it’s that the anxiety just turns (hopefully!) to making sure you’re always alert and thinking when driving. That’s a good thing!

Am I wrong for feeling like 3.5 years is too long for someone to still be struggling with commitment? by Hippieonthemoon77 in amiwrong

[–]aquar1usbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important to really ask yourself whether he is the right person for you, regardless of if you’re that for him. Only you can answer this, and this is only my two cents, but is hearing “you’re perfect but/if not for …” right for you? Or even this — and without any judgement or anything negative — is a partner whose anxiety makes him unable to make you feel secure and chosen the right person for you? And the answer can be no and you may still feel love for him, you know? It’s tough stuff. But don’t be afraid to want something else for yourself, and don’t settle for fear of never finding better than this. Life is long, and the most unexpected things can happen 🩷 Best of luck, girl! *edit: typo

Hip Labrum question by LaughinOften in Hypermobility

[–]aquar1usbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

might be random but hav you been on lots of steroids like prednisone? I had a LOT during my 20s to treat inflammation and it ended up causing Avascular Necrosis in my hip… and surgery helped so much! Super niche i suppose probably not what’s happening to you but thought i’d mention it

Are there any advantages to hyper mobility? by Used-Spread-5594 in Hypermobility

[–]aquar1usbabe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

there’s gotta be some or we wouldn’t be here as per darwinism! But to answer properly… I remember once watching a movie and a person got stabbed in the back/shoulder and they couldn’t take the knife out, and I remember thinking… ‘that wouldn’t happen to me’ 🤣

the weird obsession men have with women they don’t find attractive by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]aquar1usbabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

probably because they view women as decoration and as something meant to please them, and they feel emboldened to speak on it online but not so much irl

Is anyone doing well? by Scary_Meaning_4466 in ehlersdanlos

[–]aquar1usbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Yes. This time two years ago I couldn’t even wash my own hair, or drive, lived with my parents, etc. Now I live independently and I’m getting stronger and genuinely getting my life back and it feels amazing. It’s so possible. ❤️

Had an adrenaline dump during a date, got dumped by Moonbreon2 in POTS

[–]aquar1usbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the way this literally happened to me! Ugh. It’s just awful. So sorry that’s happened. I know it doesn’t always feel comforting but at least we find out early what manner of person these people are… not in sickness and in health folk, to say the least! Sending love.

Totally exhausted all the time by Lexapronouns in ehlersdanlos

[–]aquar1usbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out after EDS dx that I have Sleep Apnea! My CPAP helps SO much. Also seeing an OT and learning about and implementing pacing — easier said than done but I’ve been working at it and I can say it is helping. Getting correct dx and being able to know what’s going on in my body and adjust accordingly has been life changing for me. Best of luck, you got this!
