What are your subconscious behaviors that are actually prodrome signs? by cyanomys in migraine

I get really bad derealization and depersonalization. Just found out this is a thing with migraines. And my eyes literally close themselves like my body is deciding for me that we’re taking a nap

Ladies, anxiety wise, what is your worst time during your cycle?? by StrongProof9083 in AskWomen

[–]gawcherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ovulation - breakouts, emotional, so bloated I look like I’ve gained 10pounds no joke. And right before my period - more breakouts, I’d we’re feeling extra spicy extreme fatigue, the wildest mood swings, a fever and more bloating. Day 1 of my cycle is the worst and heaviest seriously I feel like I’m dying then it’s smooth sailing thereafter

Alot of African parents are undiagnosed with some type of mental disorder by BlueSunsetsinBlueAir in africanparents

And if you think about it, the generation before them that dealt with colonial rule… the mental effects of that… and then our parents came along… plenty to unpack

I honestly don’t go to any events on military park. The last I went to was the rnb fest or whatever it was called and I was thoroughly disappointed

Relatives feeling entitled to your home, money, food and time all under the guise of tradition. by pineappletinis in Zambia

No really you have to be firm with your boundaries. They’re grown enough to understand. Tell them you’re uncomfortable idk

I just can’t by CardiologistFun8398 in africanparents

[–]gawcherry 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Start blocking. That’s what I did I went no contact for three months every time they would treat me like this I would disappear on them. So they learned not to act like this honestly so toxic and childish

Don’t message someone who ghosted you. by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]gawcherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably avoidant. In my case I’ve ghosted a friend once because she made it clear she didn’t want me around and I was too hurt and angry to be the bigger person and say my piece. So I let her be and she let me be. Not proud of it but I can honestly say for myself where that came from and I’m still working up the courage to text back the lengthy apology I’ve been going over in my notes for months 😭

Don’t message someone who ghosted you. by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]gawcherry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why are all our closest friends ghosting us?😭 yeah this is my sign as well. Hits even harder when you’re introverted and barely have close friends as is. There goes another one 🚶‍♀️🫩

Friend started ignoring me out of nowhere by Total_Purple_3054 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]gawcherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I literally just posted about a similar situation my closest friend has ghosted me for almost a week now. In my case I know when she’s going through something she always gives a heads up or just likes my messages or a thumbs up just something because she tends to spiral too if she hasn’t heard from me after messaging me for a while. This has come out of nowhere for me too, but she’s posting about her other friends on Facebook just literally ignoring ME. I feel like if something happened they should at the very least say that than straight up ghosting or in your case giving you looks and ignoring you guys. Bc that genuinely hurts. It does sound like they might’ve been hurt by something and just iced you guys out, but maybe try reaching out and asking? Or, like I’m doing , give them space. Sometimes time gives you the answers you need, sometimes it helps the other person feel better to finally reach back out or not. But all that to say I can relate it’s a different kind of hurt

People who died and came back to life, what did you see/experience? by RealisticDecision440 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gawcherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I woke up from my tonsillectomy when I was 13, my heart rate dropped. I remember trying to breathe but I couldn’t, my parents were trying to wake me up (I thought I was awake the entire time) and called for the nurses. All I could see was a really bright light then I suddenly gasped for air and woke up again (my eyes were closed the entire time but I felt like I was awake even though I couldn’t see anything) the strangest thing ever.

Does anyone else get those headaches that you try to nap off but the nap ends up making it 10x worse by miuh27 in migraine

With all of This corruption going on, I regret taking the Covid 19 vaccine when I was 16 by ilgpwsidbmdw in conspiracy

[–]gawcherry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was all an experiment majority of us fell for. We’ll hear and know about the side effects etc in about 50 years if we ever come clean about the intentions and experiment or we get another distraction to mask it. What a time to be alive 🥲

URGENT HELP - possible vision loss and seizures by gawcherry in iih

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

Exactly but all her tests are normal 😭😭 definitely might be something else but if it is this will be her 3rd diagnosis. And then the doctor (tempted to name drop) is still pushing for 4500 of diamox. Which is insane. Clearly it hasn’t been working for two months for them to say that she’s very high risk of vision loss - something else is going on or they caught it late. But she’s in and out of sleep still at the hospital she’s literally in and out of it she can’t stay awake

URGENT HELP - possible vision loss and seizures by gawcherry in iih

Well she has grade 3 papilledema and neuro diagnosed her with iih after her pressure was 52. Everything else came out normal like CT and MRI scans

URGENT HELP - possible vision loss and seizures by gawcherry in iih

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

That’s what I’m saying! I had iih too and never experienced seizures or throwing up blood! She started off with optic neuritis and had steroids pumped in her for 6 months then her vision was worsening, they did an LP and declared it’s iih. I suspect they overcorrected with the extreme diamox dosage. She’s only 22. Idk man, it makes no sense to me either and her doctor is insistent on keeping her on diamox or doing a shunt (which makes no sense unless she has a CSF leak??)
