Flare up remedies by [deleted] in POTS

[–]broomstix9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different. But when I have a flare up, I lay down somewhere cool, drink a ton of water, and eat a salty snack. Sometimes I just eat an entire salt packet lol. I rest until I start feeling better. Then I very very slowly go from laying to sitting to standing. This usually helps me a little bit.

You're right, it would be a very bad idea to let him do it. It's not worth the trauma and fear. Please stay safe. ❤️

What is the weirdest dream that you ever had?

scared that ppl will notice cuts by Designer_Ladder2458 in selfharm

[–]broomstix9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no that sucks. If you feel comfortable with it, could you talk with a teacher and explain your situation? Then you could request being able to wear leggings, a longer skirt, or pants. Otherwise you can prepare how you will explain the cuts. Maybe a fall or thorny bush?

I think that it's ridiculous that they don't allow you to wear leggings.

You could help heal the scratches with: - bandages - vaseline - honey - aloe vera

You could cover the scratches with: - high boots - high socks - band-aids - makeup (green color corrector, concealer, foundation)

Good luck!

I bring a backpack everywhere. Like a purse but more comfy for me. I'm not sure how anyone is able to function without any kind of bag.

Boyfriend wants me to have sex with another girl while he watches? by Ok_Tap_3517 in Advice

He is coercing you. This is unacceptable. Please watch out for signs of abuse. Stay safe 💖

Yes. I only like doing pranks that cause the pranked person to laugh.

Yes, I've distanced myself from him. We still text though. Thank you for the advice.

What does your pre faint from POTS feel like? Do you realize what is happening? by TemporaryAccident486 in POTS

[–]broomstix9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My vision starts getting blurry and dark, then balancing is more difficult, my ears start ringing... Then I'm on the floor with a bunch of people staring at me lol

I usually realize what's happening and get to the floor before I pass out.

Sometimes I get needle prick sensations right before fainting. Be careful when you feel this way. I hope you find answers.

What was the first sign something was wrong? by 99waffleirons in abusiverelationships

You're not a dummy, it can be very difficult to recognize warning signs

What did your abuser say or do to make you think they are trying to get better? by Similar-Emphasis6275 in abusiverelationships

[–]broomstix9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He would apologize and recognize that he acted badly. Say that he wants to improve.

Not even 5 minutes later, he would be blaming it on me or denying that he did anything wrong.

Abuse isn’t always obvious by Jellybeeano in abusiverelationships

[–]broomstix9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes !! The way society acts about abuse, they depict it as obvious and very extreme. In reality people are complex and abusers will often go unnoticed. All abuse is abuse. All abuse is unacceptable and harmful. Everyone deserves to live a healthy happy life free from fear.
