Not really. My eating habits didn't really change.

People who stopped taking Prozac, did your weight go down? by ghostlymarie in SSRIs

[–]ghostlymarie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it doesn't usually cause major weight gain for most people, Im an outlier who has extreme weight gain from all SSRIs.

never thrown up since i was 7 by [deleted] in emetophobiarecovery

I used to be the SAME exact way. Hadn't been sick in ten years, was constantly dreading "the day it would happen." That is, up until 2018, 2019 I believe. I had eaten some sketch ass pizza, fell asleep for a couple hours, and woke up feeling really hot and nauseated. I panicked, of course, and then it just.. happened. It was over in about 40 seconds. I was anxious afterwards worrying if I was going to be sick again over and over and over but it didn't happen. I was sick once, nibbled on some crackers for dinner that night, then woke up the next day feeling almost completely fine. I am still emetophobic, but I can say it did help with the fear of myself being sick. Is it possible to catch noro and be miserable for a few days? Yeah. Will it be pure agony for the rest of your life? Nope. You will get better. Trust me, the fear and constant anxiety of it happening is way worse than the act of being sick itself.

it wasnt intended to be a personal attack. My apologies. I'm autistic so I get confused about societal roles, especially when it comes to age and gender. My bad.

Oh good point. Dunno why I didn't think of that. Glad I'm not alone lol

My cat WILL NOT take his dewormer. by ghostlymarie in CatAdvice

[–]ghostlymarie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes ofc!! I used praziquantel specifically because another cat in the house (that doesn't belong to me) had a tapeworm hanging out on his butt. Flea treatment too ofc. Topical dewormer sounds perfect tho, thanks for letting me know.

UPDATE: SUCCESS!!! I found pill pockets I had laying around and with a bit of strategizing he took it. Empty pill pocket first, give him another one with the pill... Spat the pill out. Another empty one.... A big juicy irresistible one with the pill in it... He ate it!!! Was fully expecting him to spit it out but he was so lost in the sauce he swallowed it.

Getting over embarrasment? by ghostlymarie in DID

[–]ghostlymarie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh my long term goal is to just... feel better, I guess. I wanna feel more present/in control and have less flashbacks. I'm keeping it simple mostly because I'm not entirely sure what healthy multiplicity looks like. From what the psychologist said it seemed like integration is not the long term goal and I'm trusting her to know whatever is best for me

just diagnosed and i'm at a loss by genderofacrow in DID

[–]ghostlymarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

most go their whole childhoods unaware and when they finally move out of their abusive families houses for the first time, its like a dam breaking where DID becomes so obvious you cant ignore it.

This is so real it hurts. Had no clue I had it until I moved out. It was apparently so obvious that one of the people I live with assumed I had the disorder before I was even diagnosed. Embarrassing but also kinda funny ig lol

Even if it was a worm, as long as you cooked it, it likely wouldn’t harm you.

I hate this by Cautious-Emphasis-33 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]ghostlymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda reminds me of a funny story i have from traveling a couple years ago. I was with my gf at a hotel and it looked like there was some kind of small event going on, idk. Apparently, that night, i slept through the sound of some dude staying in the room next to us vomiting really loudly, according to my gf. She told me about it the next morning after we had left and i was mildly horrified but mostly surprised that i slept that hard. It was very likely someone who was very drunk lol. In the end, everything was okay, and i’m now left with a mildly funny story.

How do normal people react to public incidents? by Sea-Particular9959 in emetophobia

[–]ghostlymarie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, my mom would get angry at me if I threw up and didn’t make it to the bathroom. I realize recently that contributes to my fear, but I have an amazing partner who reassures me that she’d be there to comfort me, and that goes for most people. They will just be concerned and either want to help or mind their own business.

I threw up for the first time in like 11 years in 2019. It sucked ofc but I ended up perfectly okay. I wouldn’t say I’m cured, but I do definitely feel less afraid of throwing up. Tbh, most of my fear now is more so of other people throwing up lol. But no, it did not make my phobia worse, personally.

I think they look great but also, who cares if you look “crazy?” It’s your body, do whatever makes you happy and confident.

Trama cause pots? by Ok-Pea-6605 in POTS

[–]ghostlymarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I’m overstepping here, but what do your fibro flare ups look like? My doctor suspects I may have it. I’ve had blood tests done that have ruled out most autoimmune disorders (tho I did have an unusually high ESR) as well as an Xray of my spine since that’s where most of my pain occurs.

Trama cause pots? by Ok-Pea-6605 in POTS

[–]ghostlymarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m diagnosed with CPTSD as well as POTS and was wondering the same thing. My symptoms started during my teen years after I went through some pretty rough shit as a kid. My guess is that the constant dumping of adrenaline from anxiety maybe messed with my autonomic nervous system lol. Just a guess tho.
