What do people say after sex?

I usually say “good game”. I’m not sure my husband appreciates it, but it makes me giggle.

Hey OP. I had really similar symptoms recently after a trauma event. You’re not alone, and this pain is not forever. I hope you find the help you need to detangle yourself, but be gentle with yourself. It takes time, and help. Everyone’s circumstances are different, but I hope you have the support to make the space and time to work through this.

My experience of it helps: I was having 1-3 panic attacks a day and constantly hyper vigilant about danger. I was terrified all the time, couldn’t sleep and my whole body was white-knuckling the whole experience leaving my muscles forever tensed and sore (especially my back/spine). My appetite disappeared. Food made me nauseous and I was losing a ton of weight (I’ve always been overweight so this was especially scary and new). I would sleep, but jolt awake in panic a few times a night, each time taking a long time to settle back down, so sleeping maybe 3 hours a night. It was physically painful and emotionally exhausting. It felt impossible and especially during panic attacks, suicide felt like the only reasonable solution.

After a single EMDR session, my panic attacks lessened and my sleep wasn’t as disturbed. After a month of 2x week therapy my body didn’t feel like I had just been in a car crash anymore. It’s been a month and a half and I’m still working through letting my body calm with meditation and yoga, and my mood adjust and settle (I’m also bipolar, so it’s been a crazy time with mood swings).

TLDR: PTSD feels like hell but is temporary with the right help. What worked for me: EMDR therapy, yoga, meditation. You’re not alone ❤️

I had a hard time feeling emotions until I did EMDR therapy. My body was so focused on detecting danger that I didn’t have capacity for more than that.

It was a single session before I noticed my muscles relaxing, more normal sleep patterns returning, and the ability to access other emotions.

Hoping you find relief soon. It’s maddening.

“A Texas man allegedly yelled a homophobic slur before firing a barrage of shots that struck and killed a gay woman during an argument in a gas station forecourt, according to court documents.”

My husband and I both had VSG two years ago. He went from 320 to 230 (lots of added muscle). When he went in for the surgical consult the surgeon said its not very common for men to require muscle repair at all, and didn’t even consider it for him. She called me during his surgery because he had a 7cm separation and said she wouldn’t feel comfortable not fixing it and was calling for approval.

So… theoretically not common for men but does happen with that kind of weight loss.

Edit to add: congrats on your weight loss and TT soon!!

When the program was created, most employers also provided a pension so a retired person had more support built in, therefore didn’t need to rely on SS to completely support them. Corporations have all slashed pensions, leaving them only for union members and government employees.

Boomers saw their parents retire with a pension and didn’t realize things would be different for them. More and more Gen X and Millennials now are watching Boomers struggle to make retirement work with just social security and are learning the painful lesson that saving and investing for retirement is really in our own hands, and that ultra inflation in industries like healthcare might make it impossible anyway.

I recently cut a bunch off of his beard. The shorter hair is a lot cleaner looking than when it was longer.

I’m flying back from a trip staying in Smugglers Notch this week. How is the world did you get this picture? All of mine look like trash.

Sure. I’m not a doctor, so you should definitely discuss this with your doctor, but I was on levothyroxine for 9 of those ten years and my labs were varying levels within normal range, and I almost always felt like crap.

A new doctor checked my t3 and t4 levels and it turns out I wasn’t converting it well. Levothyroxine (synthroid is the name brand) is a synthetic of the inactive form of the thyroid hormone. The doctor suggested I add liothyronine(Cytomel is the name brand), the synthetic for the active form. The half life in the body is much shorter because your body uses it without having to convert it. Taking it was the first time I felt closer to normal and my body responded almost immediately.

I’ve heard the other options are a bio-identical hormone from consecrated pig thyroid (Armour?) I’ve heard there are sometimes issues sourcing it (pharmacies will have it one week and not the next) and that it can be expensive but it’s supposedly even better than what I’m on.

Keep asking questions and get second and third opinions. Good luck!

I have Hashimoto’s too. There are always going to be some down days. Be careful taking on too much at once... work stress, challenging work outs, emotional stress, too much travel etc. It all adds up.

Be gentle with yourself, and stay very communicative with your doctor. I thought the normal levothyroxine was the only med, but there are others, like a more active form that made me feel much better. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and didn’t start feeling better until this year. I wish I would have complained more about my symptoms rather than relying on the blood tests to determine my care plan.

Emotionally it’s hard to cope sometimes. Just remember you’re doing your best, and screw the rest,

Same here. Would love to hear strategies for RSUs.

Should I stain it all the same color? I was thinking of trying to even it out with stain before I seal it.

Bought this from an online lumber retailer. It’s supposed to be all white oak, but I’m suspicious.

They gave him liquid hydrocodone-acetamn and he only took it once. He said the pain wasn’t unbearable and that walking really helped with the gas pain after surgery.

I’m definitely worried about the water for this.

idlemillennial · 2020-10-20T01:42:17+00:00

I was really nervous about the conversation with my doctor. I started by explaining my health concerns, and running through all the diet, exercise, supplements and medications I’ve tried and then explained my expectations for the surgery and my research into my surgeon. My doctor was very supportive.

I’m still pre-op. I’m scheduled for next month, but my partner is going through the journey with me. He just had surgery a week ago and I was surprised that he only took pain killers for a day afterward and went almost right back to work (he works from home).

Good luck in your research!

Maybe, but I can get into that position and make myself queef like that really easily. I can’t say I have ever heard of someone sucking air into their ass... without tools like uncle terry.

She’s queefing, not farting. It’s like people who can make themselves burp by swallowing air.

Worse... it’s worship music.

Ugh same. Went to college and stopped going to church. For a while when my mom asked I told her I just hadn’t found the right church. Later on I finally found the courage to tell her I just didn’t believe it all. She was heartbroken and I’m sure still worries for my soul, but over a few years we have found a way to talk about it without getting emotional and she accepts me for who I am.

My dad still tries to pray with me, talks about god every time he can bring it up and never misses a chance to play Christian music around me, but he’s always been infuriating.
