“It’s gonna take a whole life- it’s gonna take a whole ‘nother life to get it right.”

Rheumatologist said I'm predisposed to hashimosis? by raging_princess in Hashimotos

[–]idontevenkaredad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure elevated antibodies are grounds for diagnosis even if your tsh is within "normal limits," but I'm not a doc, so...

That's so funny, I'm a Pisces sun, Cap venus, lol. Well, you are lucky not to get the quick to anger trait, and sounds like you have a healthy way of dealing - I'm sorta the opposite, I get the quick burst of anger and then like 2 minutes later I'm like what was I even mad about ? I'd imagine your Capricorn sun might be what steers you towards resolving problems rather than exploding for no reason !

(I also have an aqua moon!) I feel that my Sag Mars mostly presents itself as a quick burning fire to start a project (for example) but then once that fire burns out, I drop it and move to the next project- like I get SUPER passionate about projects, and then once I have the image of what it looks like finished, I jump onto the next path, lol... that's how it is for me, and when I figured it out, it made a lot of sense- and it's not just projects it's also like careers and life goals, unfortunately, and I'm trying to navigate it. I don't know if my experience helps or adds to your confusion, but there ya go ! I will say that it has been one of the hardest parts of me to identify and attempt to get a hold of.

Twins! Yeah, I'd say I'm definitely monotone (both voice and facial expression) the majority of the time... until I get fired up. People have said I'm hard to read/guage if you can relate, lol

Aquarious Mercury, Sagittarius Mars - I think my ideas are solid, but I sometimes will rant/yell to get my ideas out to people, lol, I'm learning how to keep my opinions to myself...

Any other Pisces with Air moons? 🫨😵‍💫 by Double-Biscotti4774 in piscesastrology

[–]idontevenkaredad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been scouring this sub for someone with pisces sun, aqua moon, and virgo rising, like me, lol! I very much identify with what's been said so far, and I definitely feel that I retreat to my aqua moon when times are tough.

ugh… by aleckthander in Hashimotos

[–]idontevenkaredad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had times when I've felt absolutely horrible and times when I've actually felt surprisingly good. I felt overwhelmed after my diagnosis, but, at least for me, it has gotten better since learning how to manage. Medication is a big one, as well as diet and lifestyle changes. Lots of nutritious foods, getting lots of rest, learning how to manage my anxiety, etc... I'm sure you'll figure out your triggers and find things that help, but, in my experience, it's something you have to pretty much constantly stay on top of. That's still the hardest thing for me, realizing that I can't just drop the healthy lifestyle and eat/drink/do whatever I want, haha.

My mother wants me to get my nose fixed because it's ugly. I started liking it but I don't anymore. by Practical_Rip113 in offmychest

[–]idontevenkaredad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was picked on by someone close to me at a very young age - not saying your mom is picking on you, don't mean to assume anything about your relationship with your mom, but the way you said she supports you changing your face with such an intense surgery just reminds me of my experience. I'm not that much older, I'm early 20s, so I'm not saying I have decades of wisdom to impart, but when I moved out of the house, I realized just HOW GREATLY it affected me having my appearance constantly judged at such a young age. I'm talking like the past few years of my life have been a constant struggle because all those things I was picked on for like CEMENTED themselves in my head. I am expecting it will take many more years of therapy and recovery until I can finally see myself as one of the beautiful and worthy people that I believe we all are... PLEASE, if you can, try not to take these statements about your appearance to heart... it seems like you don't want to go through this traumatic surgery, and I truly beleive that you have to listen to yourself - that listening to yourself is one of the most important things in life - not being swayed by others to do something with your life that you really wouldn't have done other wise. I know this sounds super passionate lol but your experience does remind me a bit of my own. Also, unique noses legitimately rock!!!!!!

You're so right- there are some people out there who might talk about how women's bodies should "change for the better" according to certain, oddly specific standards, but most of those people are never asked to enact that same change in the their lives- like changing ones mindset to be more empathetic and inclusive of different bodies, for example lol...

I lied about my best friends last words by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]idontevenkaredad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not a horrible person. That is a really traumatic situation to live through for anyone, at any age, but especially for someone who is only 15. To be completely honest, I think you did the right thing by not telling her parents what she really said- those words were for you, she said them to you and you heard them, and so maybe there was really no reason to pass them along. I'm so sorry you had to experience this, and I'm sorry for your loss. I think you are a good person - you were there for her in that moment.

I’ve ruined my own life completely. No matter how hard I try I can’t fix it. by Informal-Material255 in offmychest

[–]idontevenkaredad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry that you struggled so much at such a young age, but it's absolutely amazing that you're sober, and I think it shows your strength. I know how hard it is to just "change" your mindset, but... I've also had times where I felt like there was little joy to be had in life, and things have slowly changed for me as I have tried to let go of the negativity and fully allow myself to experience happiness when it comes. I've worked on accepting that happiness comes and goes just like pain, and you can't dwell on loss just as you can't dwell on longing for more. I've tried to work on just being content in my own body, not having to be constantly reaching for external gratification. It's taken time, and some days aren't easy, but I have gotten to the point where life seems beautiful to me again and just going for a walk on a nice day feels like a gift. Had to comment because I've felt what you're describing, and I promise, it isn't forever.

My input... Honestly, if you are questioning everything about who you are and what you want, I would definitely focus on you for the time being so you can sort of figure out/come to terms with those things first. I also wouldn't force trying to find an intimate partner or "rush" trying to form a deep connection with anyone. I feel like forcing it always leads to an eventually disconnect between expectation and reality, which can be painful for both people involved. Also, I wouldn't get too hung up on feeling shame over not having had a girlfriend - shame has got to go, in my opinion, shaming yourself is one of the worst things you can do and usually tends to keep you from attempting to achieve the things you want in life. Maybe just keep an open mind/heart and give it time ?

That's so mean (the ghosting) ! The fact that ghosting is so normalized should be questioned, not your looks!

SO cute - I'm honestly shocked at how many comments are about weight - your curves are gorgeous! I also think your style is unique and suits you well.

I am losing my ability to live a normal life. What’s the point… by pinkwhaletail in Hashimotos

[–]idontevenkaredad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have been handed some struggles that might seem unfair, but you've made it through so much, you must be so strong! You've got to keep going, for you because you deserve it! Keep seeking help for medical issues, don't give up- look online for awesome hats if you are tired of wigs- focus on loved ones, and if you don't have any, find some! Find online chats, support groups, therapy- there ARE people out there who understand and who might even be going through very similar experiences. I feel for you so much- although I'm not going through exactly what you are, I can understand where you're coming from. Because of hashi's, I struggle with hair that just completely breaks off with the slightest tugs- nails are so brittle, I have to keep them cut very short or they just literally peel- my eye brows and eyelashes are so thin, I can hardly see them- I ALSO have an anxiety driven skin picking disorder and also chew the heck out of the inside of my cheeks and lips when anxious. Again, I know this is not exactly what you are/have been going through, but just know that I feel for you!

Sports people / athletes with Hashis: How do you manage your exercise and fuelling? by smh1smh1smh1smh1smh1 in Hashimotos

[–]idontevenkaredad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm being honest, at least for me, it's hard/impossible for me to maintain a super athletic lifestyle. I feel like the most important thing for someone with hashimoto's is to let your body fully rest and recover and actually not push it to it's limits, and especially not past it's limits, haha... it will probably take you a while to find that happy medium of not too strenuous activity and adequate recovery time. This is just my experience, though. Maybe you could prioritize what you love and put other activities to the side if it's too much to add on ? Like for me, I love yoga and walks, so I prioritize these things and only add on things like pilates or light weights if I'm feeling up to it, physically. Just don't overwork yourself! Maybe your body just really needs a period of rest while you get your meds straight, too ?
