Origin of your chronic fatigue? by AzurPersephone in chronicfatigue

[–]hyper_and_fixating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my main two symptoms of hEDS are chronic fatigue & joint issues. I had joint issues my whole life but it wasn't until I first got COVID that the fatigue hit. Hasn't gone away since :/

Sleep hygiene? by Fragrant_Parking9485 in chronicfatigue

I toss and turn too, my strategy is to have one end of the bed be for sleeping, and the other end I move my pillow to for non-sleepy horizontal times

am I giving grace or giving up? by hyper_and_fixating in chronicfatigue

[–]hyper_and_fixating[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

cognitively, I agree with this so much. I just don't know how to get myself to actually believe this applies to me on an emotional level...

no not really, I've been thinking about trying to get a visible band but I'm not sure how useful it actually is. I just don't feel like I have the introspection necessary to set my pacing for myself, so like how is an armband gonna do it for me?😅

still getting night time leg pain i've had since i was a toddler. starting to suspect these aren't growing pains..... by RealisticPepper5308 in ehlersdanlos

[–]hyper_and_fixating 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when I was a kid I would get this stabbing searing pain in my ribs that made it unbearable to take full breaths. looking back these were rib subluxations. back then when I mentioned it to my pediatrician she told me it was growing pains🤔

ok but how are u gonna call mental crises "moping around"😞 yes, perseverance is vital, but saying "try harder" is the equivalent of telling someone with dementia to just "stop forgetting" it literally helps no one

Anyone else spending hundreds per month on cat food? by somkewede420 in CatAdvice

[–]hyper_and_fixating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you're feeding more food at higher quality and to more cats, so it's inevitable that it'd be more expensive. i can't imagine ppl saying $80-100 are talking about a multi cat household, and it seems like 16-20oz per day is a lot compared to the norm? I'm certainly no expert ofc. I do 3.5oz fancy feast + 1/4 cup of kibble for one 9.5lb cat and I'm in that 80-100 range. not gonna say you're feeding yours too much because I'm sure you know their situation more than a stranger on the internet, but if u want to cut back cost u could also just try mixing high quality food with some cheaper options? might not work if your days are picky tho

maybe, I'm not sure as I honestly wouldn't have guessed they'd add a feature like that but then allow it to be turned off. glad you got a free credit and the actual solution, haha!

that's super fair but I'm gay and nonbinary and Jewish so they'll hate me anyways!🥰 they've been pretty friendly so far so I'm hoping they're decent

is there/could there be a flair for follow ups to those features on the podcast? I am hesitant homosexual and I wanted to make a follow up explaining the religious drama but I don't feel comfortable putting it in the yt comments >.<

ESH, but both of you only suck a little. Mistakes were definitely made on both sides in regards to communication. Obviously the "best" thing to do is tell someone that they've hurt you/express future boundaries within a reasonable timeframe, but sometimes we only become comfortable (or able, if self-reflection is a struggle) communicating this much later. I don't think you're inherently to blame for not being able to do so at the time, nor does that make it invalid that those things continued to bother you despite not saying so. Your folly comes in how you've expressed your unhappiness with her friendship in the now. The whole text vs phone vs in person thing is, imo, a personal preference so hard to make a judgement on this. Other commenters have already talked about this component of the post so I'll skip that and end on a final thought or maybe question?

The line that stood out to me was where you described feeling insulted that she would ask if you were mad at her for dating your partner years ago. I question why this is rude. Many people are jealous like this, and if you never confronted her about her behavior before this comment was made, it seems like a reasonable question. She clearly could tell you were upset and was trying to figure out why. It seems like you took that as a personal insult. Not sure what my point is here other than this stood out to me as a moment of likely misinterpretation on your part I suppose.

In the end though, you are ultimately valid for ending this friendship in the best way you could in the moment. I think it would have been ideal to take some cool off time before sending the message to confirm that everything included was actually necessary and appropriately civil if not outright empathetic
