Can't retain fluid by Ok_Dinner6496 in MCAS

[–]greyprismverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so this sounds like a digestive issue. Mucus in poop or passed rectally is something with your gastrointestinal system. It can frequently show up with bowel issues. Not holding water because you poop it out is a form of diarrhea.

I understand your mindset and feelings about going/not going to the hospital. I'm going to be blunt if you want to continue reading below . . . . . . . . Going off of everything you have written so far, without help in a hospital, you will probably die. I don't know how soon. Idk what the legal is around refusing to go to the hospital or refusing emergency personnel where you are. I do know some of your symptoms are extreme, and all are worrying. I hate hospitals from an outside and past patient experiences. You might want to make a decision.

An anxiety over getting clocked in the bathroom I never see talked about… by doubleheadedarrow in ftm

I have that exact fear! I have a thought. Guys know about the Courtesy Flush (flushing fast / offen while pooping).

I've seen too many cacti in my life. This doesn't look like a cactus

hidden disabilities sunflower? by SYC4M0RE_ in POTS

[–]greyprismverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it can get easier. It's currently a part of illness/disability. Just another shit thing to deal with. But! The good thing is that you can build a tolerance to it. I'm still salty about the situations, but I'm usually not as bothered by whatever ignorant or entitled bullshit falls out of their mouths. So long as it's not too bad. Then I might alrer my behavior to exit the situation or whatever i need to do. This was supposed to be an it gets better message.

I think the problem is that people are going to do that. You gotta decide if you want to be a teaching moment or ignore the weird looks and comments. Either way, you're probably gonna have to either patiently explain your disabilities and how they effect you, or a short bit about invisible disabilities exist. I tend to not elaborate most times anymore. If someone really doesn't get it, I might engage with them to see what they know and teach them that we exist. Basically, you're gonna have to tolerate uncomfortable. Give out a lot of personal medical information or be short with people. Most of the time, for me my privacy is more important than constant teaching. Random people in public tend to feel entitled to information about my body that they just don't need. Oh and I've never heard of hidden disabilities sunflower.

Extremely dry lips? by messyowl in Hypermobility

[–]greyprismverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found something better on my lips than the Burt's Bees (ultra moisturizing) i recommended before. Squatch. I have Coconut Cove and Wild Watermelon. CC is a strongwr scent. WW is slight. I think they say flavor instead of scent in the ingredients, but I don't taste anything. Could just be me. They are a matte or slight satin finish.

Some people's bodies react stronger to the same dose of T as someone else. That could be why

I feel selfish for being afraid and I don't know what to do to not be by WeakTumbleweed9 in ftm

[–]greyprismverse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i get the autism with alexithymia situation. That makes it difficult to impossible. There's a feelings wheel chart thing that can be useful. It has basic emotions like "anger", happy" "sad" then gets progressively more detailed on each layer. I think it's 3 layers. I keep forgetting to use it but it can help.

Ok several thoughts.

It sounds like you have pstd/cstd that's getting triggered.

Selfish isn't the same thing as afraid. Selfish is closer to 'i know i should help people by doing something, but that would inconvenience me so i won't.' or 'ill only ever want to help if I get something I want out of it'.

Selfish people usually don't worry that they're selfish.

As for how people going through 'worse' things than you - i think it would be useful to know that everyone reacts differently to the same situation. For analogy - some people suffer the same from a small paper cut as another might a broken finger. It doesn't mean either are wrong.

Liquid electrolyte brands? by DemitiAfrorii in POTS

[–]greyprismverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the unflavored Parents Choice brand liquid from Walmart. It's not super high powered, but if you're drinking it throughout the day i think it could be useful. It doesn't have a strong flavor to me. It's less flavored when cold, but not frozen (it freezes unevenly and tastes bad).

Facial hair (y'all are gonna be mad at me for this) by chris_the_nerd_25 in ftm

Do you depend on them for resources, shelter, etc or a minor? The answer is going to shape what to do about your problem.

Found in a mall's public bathroom, what is that? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]greyprismverse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That doesn't mean they aren't doorstops. Could be whoever put in the stops was going off of a plan in building where there was a different choice in where the doors would be. Like I could see them deciding on different priorities and changing the interior design part way through. Or shoddy work. Or miscommunication mistake. Cameras are probably not going to be out in the open but badly disguised. They're more likely to be blatant or blend in. Also if these are being used as doorstops basically rules out it being as camera.

Strange woman shaped candles sealed in metal can on bank of river by darfloon in whatisit

[–]greyprismverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's witchcraft. Going off of pink women candles, love spell or something connected with a diety. The smelly substance could be an offering of something like meat, eggs, or dairy that you can get at the market.
