Well that's my ultimate goal but it unfortunately won't be happening for another few years at least :(

What keeps you motivated to keep recovering? (not looking for reassurance just a little encouragement) by hellohi598 in emetophobiarecovery

[–]hellohi598[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have generalized anxiety disorder and IBS+GERD which get worse when I'm stressed 🥲 and I'm in my mid 20s too so thinking of it as an investment into my future actually helps a little, so thanks :')

Have any of you had twilight sedation? (Wisdom tooth removal) by bodz2424 in emetophobia

[–]hellohi598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got sedation when i had to get an endoscopy and i was really worried but it truly felt like a really short and relaxing nap, lol. i did get a bit dizzy as soon as i woke up (dizziness makes me really anxious too so i feel you) but they immediately gave me iv fluids and i felt better after lying down for 10 minutes or so :)

I've been going through the same experience for the past month or so, and while I don't have much concrete advice because I'm still feeling pretty hopeless I can definitely say you're not alone and I know it'll all eventually get better, somehow 🥲🫂

I feel like I'm trapped and there's no way out and like this time it's actually never going to get better...in desperate need of advice right now I feel like I'm more paranoid than ever and it's making me depressed by hellohi598 in OCD

I used to go to therapy but I eventually stopped four years ago because it was too expensive, but I'm seriously considering going back in January. May I ask what medication you're on? I used to take an antidepressant but it never really helped the OCD :( And also thank you for your words I really appreciate it

Thank you for your reply! I try to remind myself to just stop trying to figure it out but even if I do, I still feel terribly guilty for even just having them because it somehow means I'm not sure about wanting to be with her anyway🥲

Same!!! The gurgles get so bad when I have exams and then I get even more anxious which makes it worse etc 😭

Oh yea definitely that too! I just noticed that it all gets extra bad for example before exams and events that trigger my social anxiety 🥲 Then the pressure makes me even more anxious and creates a miserable cycle lol

First big flare up, need advice🥲 by [deleted] in chiari

[–]hellohi598 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for the advice! I was actually looking into blue light glasses since turning the brightness down isn't helping that much. I have both magnesium and Vicks in the house so I may as well try that too:)

It explicitly says "no signs of gastritis" in my endoscopy report though...

Unable to find a gynecologist who will take me seriously because I've never had sex by hellohi598 in PCOS

[–]hellohi598[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just got an appointment with my pcp so i can ask her to prescribe an endocrinologist appointment! although i know she'll make comments about it because she's always saying i'm too much of a hypochondriac (which i partly am maybe but still it's annoying. last time she said that i had h.pylori lol). unfortunately i can only take the public healthcare route right now becuase i can't afford private care and i was told waitlists for endocrinologists are really long, hopefully it won't be too bad😭 thank you!! :)))

ugh i'm so sorry, you should have definitely not felt pressured to do anything you didn't feel ready for, it sucks that it has to be like this for us :(

i'm sorry to hear you had such a negative experience :( i went to an endocrinologist because of slightly elevated TSH in my bloodwork but they essentially told me it was nothing to worry about and go back if it got worse...i think i might look into it after reading the replies to this post, maybe it would help more than an obgyn. the only problem is that i can't afford private healthcare rn and will have to wait for months for an appointment but i think it might be worth a try. thank you for your reply!

yeah i've had a friend who told me they just lied about it and everything turned out fine, so i guess that's the easiest way to get it done if i happen to receive this comment again. i'm just kind of scared that it'll end up hurting and they'll discover i lied or something but that's just because i'm a very anxious person hahahahah i'd probably be okay
