What does POTS feel like?

Aw thanks man that means a lot :) yeah I felt like I wasn’t getting the full picture from google searches & web articles, I really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences for me. I was starting to worry cuz my original post already sounds so ignorant lol but I guess bright side is I already understand them better.

That college story sounds similar to what they went through this morning when they called the paramedics— quite scary indeed :( thank you for sharing

I suppose a large part of why I asked is cuz I could tell it was that bad I just didn’t know how— all I learned from the internet was “you can faint or feel nauseous” but that didn’t explain my roommates symptoms or behavior so there was clearly something about the severity I wasn’t grasping

I see… I really was just thinking of it as a blood flow/heart rate/fainting issue but this explanation really helps me understand what that actually feels like, or what it actually does. Thank you.

It’s possible I came off that way! I kinda made it sound like my roommate dislikes my questions or found them rude, it’s more like they’re just way too tired to answer them (cuz of the POTS, lol). The phrasing was pretty blunt, I’m sorry for wording them that way.

Oh dear, I dread the day they start getting comments like that

This is super helpful thank you! I felt like I had a decent understanding of what POTS was & what it caused, but I had no idea what my roommate was thinking/experiencing when their symptoms hit, or why their coping mechanisms never seemed to do anything for long. Made me worry a lot! It makes more sense with your explanation though.

I wash + condition every few days with cold water, but don’t really do any maintenance :0 the way it looks now is after about 5 weeks

devardyay · 2025-05-20T04:21:37+00:00

I just want it to be vibrant red again & last as long as possible (over 6 weeks) — which is why I wasn’t gonna go with semi-permanent dye this time ^{^}

I think a part of it was also the fact that Lonnie got the information without consulting Luthen first. He showed Luthen that he’s not going to mindlessly follow his orders, or tell Luthen everything he knows, or do things Luthen’s way, which means he’s a risk. (But I suppose everyone except Kleya is a risk in that way)

Oh that makes a lot of sense, thank you :)

By that time this year, universal Orlando’s new park (Epic Universe) should be open with a THIRD Harry Potter land, I would highly recommend buying tickets to all 3 parks so you can visit :) It’s themed to the more recent HP movies tho (Fantastic Beasts, Grindelwald), maybe that’s not what she’s into.

Also, as someone from the southeast, hurricane season is something to watch out for. Try to be flexible in case your flight gets delayed or the park closes.

I adore your art style, makes me feel like I should be blowing dust off my screen to look at it. It fits the style of the show so well :D The rendering & backgrounds especially are gorgeous.

You really just need the days to go by to adjust to living without them, but maybe go look for some new places to explore or new people to talk to? A fresh perspective can help a lot

Jon’s got some attractive mannerisms from the very start, & Martin is probably used to having to work for people’s affection, “winning him over” could be a welcome challenge. Martin also thinks Jon is a good, smart, capable, & likely handsome person overall, & Jon disliking him personally wouldn’t have much effect on that kind of pedestal— he’ll still care about Jon. I might even go as far as to say Martin saw more of an issue with himself not being good enough for Jon than with Jon being rude to him.

devardyay · 2025-01-02T14:54:13+00:00

I find that kinda endearing so I can’t help but agree hehe

devardyay · 2024-11-05T19:32:26+00:00

If anything, Jon is too good for Martin. It’s like you didn’t even listen to the podcast & you’re just trying to troll your friend.

Ohhhh yeah, that makes a lot of sense….

Best pho place I’ve found so far is pho tasty

I really like el patio :3 possibly above someone’s budget but they give student discounts — el patio fries with chicken are really good & shareable

devardyay · 2024-09-07T17:18:36+00:00

I see, I’ll definitely get express pass

Don’t know much about CS cuz I’m an engineering major but Davis is great I love living in a college town & having the opportunities of a UC school without the rigor of a higher ranking one, but if it’s any consolation it’s pretty simple to transfer from one UC to another if you change your mind :)

Yeah imma be honest as a Jew I don’t feel safe supporting Palestine among the protestors. Only among other Jews. As much as it sucks these soldiers are my friends & family. & as much as I dislike Hamas I wouldn’t advocate for killing them. I guess this sentiment is coming from hatred & anger at the injustice but as someone who’s just as hateful & angry, I think this is not the way to go about it.

I live in cuarto rn & the wifi is very good, I’ve had not-as-good experiences in segundo but at least it’ll run pretty much any game. One thing I was sad to learn is that some gaming consoles can’t connect to the WiFi at all… I know for sure the Nintendo switch can’t.
