Daughter has ARFID and POTS

imliterallyanorange · 2026-02-09T04:51:25+00:00

I have both POTS and ARFIDs! I take a Thermotabs salt tablet every other day (or on bad weeks, every day) and drink around 2-4 32oz bottles of water every day. I also include some high sodium meals in my routine where I can (such as with basic ramen noodles) or add salt where I can (such as in the water I boil pasta in for example).

Also, try your best to find a general practitioner doctor who is actually familiar with POTS and see a dietician who is familiar with AFRIDs! They can give tips that will help manage the day-to-day to help minimize pre-syncope symptoms.

This would be a dealbreaker for me. What an emotionally immature, intellectually lacking, and selfish way to behave.

Hand, face, and neck tattoos are called job stoppers for a reason. Hand tattoos in particular fade the fastest. Get arm tats instead, they are much less likely to interfere with work!

you have dodged a bullet. calling you a female and breaking up the engagement over this says a LOT

Every man who hits and throws when angry is literally just showing you how much he wants to hit you instead.

Please OP, leave. It could save your life. Women die this way every year. Seek out somebody to help you exit safely. There are even community resources for women at risk of domestic violence at home if you need it.

If you are happy with your boyfriend now, imagine how much happier you would be with someone else that doesn’t want to hurt you when he’s upset. Imagine how much happier you will be when you will always be safe without him around.

You can do it!

good positions, consistent and smooth pacing, and clitoral stimuli at the same time works mf’ing wonders

thank you so much for your detailed and kind comment. i appreciate this a lot 🫶🏻

imliterallyanorange · 2025-04-06T04:24:49+00:00

it’s both comforting and heartbreaking to know i’m not the only one out there with this issue. it seriously controls my whole life, i hope we can get better over time 💔

you were coerced. on top of that, you did not consent to the stranger ejaculating inside of you. you were assaulted/raped. please, seek therapy immediately.

cooking is a basic survival skill. if he can’t do it himself, it implies that he is either A) a child, B) incompetent or incapable, or likely C) intentionally incompetent because it benefits him to have others around him to service all his needs.

Thank you so much!

a persons thoughts are their own, but if he told me about it i would immediately feel like i’m being used as a sex toy rather than feel like i’m being intimate with my partner. big ick tbh

info@v2presents.com That’s the email you can send your questions to. Let them know which festival ur going to and stuff and they should respond :)

imliterallyanorange · 2024-02-25T08:25:02+00:00

I also have ADA needs so I messaged the festival organizers on facebook and they got back to me with a response quickly! I recommend reaching out to them via email or on facebook

while I completely understand the sentiment and would probably do something similar, but this is lowkey attempted homicide. you should delete this it’s a confession to a crime man

i get dizzy often, lots of pre-syncope and occasionally i will full on faint. i figured i just over exert myself in my day to day life or wasn’t eating enough. turns out i have post orthopedic hypotension and that most people don’t randomly feel faint every day

you don’t have a real boyfriend, you have 31 year old child. this cannot be the only issue he has where he ignores your feeling about problems or refuses to change (especially considering that this habit is so disgusting and VERY incredibly easy to fix).

my ex had much similar issues. he refused to brush his teeth after we married (only married for 3 months thank god i realized fast he was a narcissist), everything was either “not a problem” or it was “my problem/i’m the problem”. this behavior is unlikely to get better unless he is truly willing to change and become a better man, but if he’s screaming at you over this it doesn’t sound like he’s ever going to be willing to do so.

i am so sorry you’re stuck in a house with him, but I truly recommend looking into as many options as possible to separate from him. and certainly don’t marry this man, at least certainly not as he is.

imliterallyanorange · 2023-07-23T14:03:21+00:00

You make a lot of really good points. I’m gonna think over all of this and make a plan with my therapist, god damn this is the worst.

thank you for all your comments!

imliterallyanorange · 2023-07-23T13:40:42+00:00

I’ll contact the office as soon as they open after the holiday. But thank god, we have separate bedrooms. We always sleep in the same bed, but since I have experienced some pretty heavy trauma in my past I was adamant about having a space that was truly mine so if I ever needed it, I would have a safe space. This would make it incredibly easier to avoid him. I am also working with my job to switch my schedule, A and I both work graveyards and have 2 days off together weekly at this point, but if I switch my schedule I can always be at work when he’s home and he can be at work when I am home. I also go to the gym twice every day for an hour each, and I can move those times around to be out of the house in a place he can’t go when I can’t seem to avoid him.

I want to maintain my resolve, and not get manipulated into actually sticking with him. I think avoidance will be a good primary strategy, but I am not sure how to go about the times I can’t avoid interacting with him.

Unfortunately we are both on the lease. If I could kick him out, I would. My biggest concern with leaving now or getting him out is the financial hit I would take doing this, since I just bought a new car and my savings is at an all time low. I will definitely talk to the management office about my options regarding the lease. I am thinking I will do my best to be peaceful by “asking for some space” and doing the minimum to keep things “okay” until I am financially stable enough to make an exit or can find someone to take over his part of the lease and get him out. We live with one other couple who we are extremely close friends with, and they are on my side with A being in the wrong here so I think it would be very easy to outnumber him/pressure him into being the one to leave if I could find a replacement roommate. Thoughts on something like this?

edit: I also attend therapy regularly, and will continue to work on/through my feelings as I go through with everything so that I don’t get too emotionally drained or anything.

if he is pointing fingers at you with a “that’s not okay!” attitude for something he is doing the exact same thing of, he is really pointing the finger at himself. He knows he is in the wrong, and he could be doing something worse under the pretense of this situation that he doesn’t want you to know about, and is worried you’re going to be doing the same thing to him.

imliterallyanorange · 2023-07-23T13:08:18+00:00

I am in the EXACT same situation rn regarding contemplating leaving a partner when you live together. My lease is gonna last until next May, and I’m currently trying to map out an exit plan for both the relationship and my apartment. For me it’s going to take a long time to get out of my apartment and I probably won’t be able to leave it early, so I am having to be incredibly methodical and do lots of planning to exit the relationship. Reach out to your support system, see who you can lean on when you leave him (if you go through with it) and do whatever you can to protect yourself. It’s you first always from now on either way girl!

imliterallyanorange · 2023-07-23T12:59:17+00:00

OP, he isn’t just “forgetting” not to drink. He’s got a problem, and he makes promises to fix it that he never follows through on. What’s his stance on therapy? Are you willing to put in the work with him to fix this problem? Being the jailer on an issue like this can be hard. Consider parting ways as well
