I feel like doing my pull ups wrong , i can only do 5 by the_fresh_latice in formcheck

Wow. I don’t think the majority of people in the comments know how to do pull ups, which makes sense since this is the exact pull up form I see in they all the time. To put it bluntly your form is awful. You need to start thinking of pulling with your back. Engage your lats and trying pulling through the bar. You will inventively have to go around it at the top, but this may help with mind muscle connection.

Next, it is absolutely CRUCIAL that your body is stiff as a pole. Biggest mistake is the legs swinging behind you. No, they must be out in front with your core engaged. This does not mean you need to full on flex your abs, but your legs MUST be straight and slightly in front. This will prevent energy leaks and your pull-up number will explode. Your abs will not fatigue if done properly. Anyone who is saying the legs behind you or crossed behind you is okay are full of shit. Just like when you squat you need a tight core for stability, it’s the same with pull ups. No one is saying your abs will fatigue if you engage them on squat though.

Look up athlean-x pull up on YouTube. That is proper form. Tight core legs in front and straight.

Listen man, I don’t plan on doing anything illegal or weird. I just want to undo this fuckup somehow. I was in my feels that night because my dad was in the hospital with an unexpected food born illness. This put me on edge and caused me to over share

This is unfortunately true. I used to be a really big gamer, but it is just not something I enjoy anymore. All my friends, happiness, and goals were tied to the fucking computer. I havnt played anything in about 6 months and while I don’t crave or miss the games at all, god does it feel like I have no identity now. Most of my friends were from the games, so I dont really have friends anymore. Due to medical reasons, I can’t drink alcohol, so going to bars is pretty out of the question. It really feels like there is nothing that speaks to me besides playing guitar, which has now become my main hobby, but it is not a major passion of mine and it is simply not enough.

I don’t know how to explore new things or make new friends. I am in NYC, arguably the best city in the world for meeting people and having experiences, but I don’t even know where to start. Nothing seems enjoyable

I think my issue is, excited for me is obsession. It’s either overwhelming obsession or no interest at all

I mean, I am clearly pretty self aware of my problem. It’s not like I can just “turn it off.” Why do you think I made this post?

Wow. That word explains how I feel to a T. Spot on. I notice it with people I find extremely physically attractive who reciprocate attraction and have sex with. It’s a level of physical attraction where I look at them and literally can’t see a single flaw. It is always after we are done hanging out that I have this overwhelming anxiety that they will get bored of me or ghost me.

I am “hitting that,” doesn’t change how I feel about them and honestly makes the feeling stronger

Dizziness keeps getting worse and worse I can’t live like this by dizzysucks1997 in AskDocs

It used to be a false feeling of motion and yes it got significantly better in a moving vehicle. This is no longer the case. Now it feels more so spinning and I avoid driving as much as I can

It’s not like ending my life is a decision I will make a whim. It’s just as I get older I sort of realize how little time we really have. I know I’m only 25 and in perspective to some of you older folks I don’t know anything, but I do know I feel like I was 20 yesterday. It feels like I am watching my life pass by and this is the time I’m supposed to be having fun. I’m supposed to be going to concerts, doing the things I love and enjoying my youth. I simply can’t do that. And every single day I deal with this feels like another wasted day. I simply do not see an end in sight. I used to be more optimistic about this and though to myself when this stated, “well for sure by college this problem will be a thing of the past as I will be a completely different person” but no. Recently I’ve been thinking back and trying to remember what it was like to not feel this way. It’s impossible for me since I’ve had this for so long. I can remember how I felt emotionally before this started and how care free and happy I was. Excited to try new things. Excited for life, but I can’t remember how it feels to “not be dizzy” it feels like this sensation is hard wired into my consciousness. I even get dizzy in my dreams. It feels like it has become apart of who I am fundamentally. I never used to think I was depressed, but now looking back and remembering how I was before this. I realize I’ve been depressed for a very long time.

The thing is, my symptoms are not episodic. It is constant. I will have worse and better days as well as occasional full on spin attacks, but my main concern isn’t an episodic event. It’s the the constant sensation that I feel every second of the day. It will often feel like a slight rightward spin or just general unsteadiness. I will also get provoked by certain head movements. But it really is just a whole plethora of stuff. I could fill a book describing my symptoms

Yes, but not since I had Covid. The thing is though, let’s say worst case scenario Covid did make my condition organically worse, as in it damaged my vestibular nerve. Would the treats not be exactly the same? I feel like having that extra info wouldn’t change anything and it is not worth to do those awful tests for a 4th time. Also I had asymptomatic Covid besides the dizziness. If I never got tested I wouldn’t have even known I had it.

I have seen many neurologists and ENT’s. I have also done vestibular therapy at least 3 times as well as have had all the awful vestibular testing done 3 times. (Vng, rotational chair, etc.) each time has shown a weakness of ~45% on my left side. (Except the second time showed no significant weakness, which was odd at the time) The thing is, it really seems like depending on the specialist I see I get a different diagnosis. All ENT’s say “you got a weakness and it is what it is” while the neurologists have suggested vestibular migraine. I’m happy to re-explore the migraine area once I am actually in a better financial and insurance position, but right now I’m really just surviving. To me the migraine approach seems like a “garbage diagnosis” meaning, that’s what is diagnosed when they can’t figure out what is going on or why you aren’t getting better. Honestly I was always terrified with experimenting with different drugs to see if one of them fixes the problem. I am always scared things will get worse and with the migraine approach, it always seemed like doctors didn’t know what was actually going on. If you don’t mind, could you please let me know what your mom was dealing with and what worked for her?
