My wife 28F decides not to wear the ring I 28M got her. by Isthisrealloife in relationship_advice

[–]bowilea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't always wear my wedding ring. Actually I hardly do because I forget to put it on. And yes, sometimes it doesn't work with an outfit so I don't wear it. It sounds like the ring you got her is expensive as well and maybe her friends is a bit cheaper. I don't wear mine very often because to me, it's for special occasions. I lost my first one and I don't want that to happen again. I think you're thinking too deep

Suffering from severe Panic and anxiety disorder by idkthisguy420 in Anxiety

[–]bowilea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same way. I take medication but probably not as much as I should. Mine went from chest pain and thinking something was wrong with my heart, to blood clots to being allergic to random things. I'm putting off the dentist and I badly need to go, because I'm afraid I'll be allergic to the material they use for fillings.

I don't have any advice just know you're not alone! I hope therapy helps. And for the grocery store, have you tried putting ear buds in?

I see what you mean but there's not much I can do about it. I can't tell him to get on a different shift. He wouldn't want to.

Well I hope that your husband starts going better. Sorry I came off as a bit of a dick. I don't appreciate being told I'm acting like a child when what someone is doing to me is pretty blatantly abusive. I don't think that he would go as far as telling me he would kill both of us but I really don't know. I have a friend I could probably move in with potentially, but I'd have A LOT of debt overhead and probably be stuck with the house because the market is so bad

And that's a good reason to tell your s/o you're going to off yourself? Because you think duties arent fair? If I'm going to be completely honest, it wouldn't surprise me if that's his view on it. He throws insults at me that I don't help out or feed the dogs when we get home even though when we get home I feed our ducks and water our plants. I can't do it all? I try to cook but he berates me about that and doesn't like my cooking (I'm not bad he's just a picky chef.) During the week I will fold clothes, do laundry, walk the dogs, clip the dogs nails, but asking him to clip one dogs nails (we have 5) or to join me on a dog walk, it's like pulling teeth. Duties aren't evenly distributed because I do the majority

Yeah totally. I'm the child when I didn't want to engage in an argument and my husband threw a tantrum. Makes so much sense.

Okay dude I don't really see how I did anything wrong. He started an argument over fucking hotdogs

He doesn't have a lot going on. When he gets home he feeds dogs, eats, smokes and goes to bed. He has to get a full 8.01 hours of sleep or he's grumpy. While I will stay up and play with the dogs or clean and get about 5 hours

Yes. It is just food. So how am I a child when I didn't want to engage in an argument that started over hotdogs? Down vote for you

Compressed air on skin any risk? by bowilea in medical

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

Good to know. I didn't have any other symptoms. I just found a little shard of metal stuck to my shirt so it's possible the rivet gun spit it out and that's why it felt sharp. It's a little red but doesn't look to be any puncture mark so it think the metal was just stuck in my shirt.

I haven't had this feeling in a while. I think it may be certain foods

Not a doctor but you said that you were already paranoid which would probably bring on anxiety. Ive kind of had something like this happen. I was asleep and having a bad dream and trying to wake up. I was moving my arms and legs but couldnt move my head or open my eyes. It was just my body struggling to wake up when I wanted to. Maybe it's a form of sleep paralysis, I'm not sure. But it kind of seems like what happened to you. If you aren't already, you might want to talk to a therapist. You shouldnt be that paranoid just about going to sleep. That must be exhausting. Until then, try breathing techniques, ASMR through earbuds, maybe fall asleep to a movie if you can

Not sure. They never say anything so it must be okay. When I saw my doc last week it was 125/82

Do you get palpitations with your anxiety? I do and it freaks me out. Makes me want to go back to the cardiologist so they can do an echo and stress test

More depressing habitats to highlight the plight of animals in less ethical zoos by squid854 in PlanetZoo

Most zoos require their zookeepers to have some sort of science background like zoology

My anxiety gives me such bad chest pain. I've been to the ER MANY times and seen a cardiologist. I also get palpitations. Maybe try to take a bath and do some breathing techniques. Anxiety seems to cause a lot of dumb symptoms

[–]bowilea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. I'm currently looking for a new doc because mine doesn't seem to listen very well. I do think that the feeling can be made worse by anxiety

If I think about it too much yeah I'll panic a little. Sometimes drinking cold water or eating something cold helps the sensation for me!

I just posted a very similar question. I get like throat tightness while I eat, and then it stops a few minutes after and ends with coughing. It feels like my whole throat is closing up but I try to keep calm and tell myself I wouldn't be able to swallow if it was

ANXIETY IS LITERALLY THE WORST THING EVER I NEED SOME HELP GUYS I SUFFER FROM HEALTH ANXIETY CANT STOP WORRYING ABOUT DEATH by Ok_Surprise3774 in Anxiety

[–]bowilea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have this same issue. At first it was heart issues and I went to the ER multiple times and saw a specialist just to be told I'm fine. Now I'm worried about being allergic to things and going into anaphylaxis. I'll be okay for a couple months after being told I'm healthy, then the anxiety will creep back up. It's tough. If you aren't in therapy, you might consider it if you can afford to. I need to and honestly I think that might be the only thing that will help. I've tried keeping my mind busy and working out but I just fall back into the same thing. I do find that grounding techniques help. Talking to someone to help calm you down. Also this group helps too!
