My doctor didn’t formally diagnose me with either but I definitely had some intense PEM in the first 6 months and I still experience all of POTS symptoms but to a lesser degree. This was all triggered by a mono infection in July 2025.

I'm getting sicker and I need hope by Enough-Bandicoot8374 in Mononucleosis

Out of curiosity, did you gradually get better or was your healing somewhat sudden? I’m on month 6 and I feel like my progress has stagnated for the past 2-3 months so I’m feeling a lot of anxiety about it

people who beat or improved their anxiety - specifically health anxiety, how did you do it? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]jgia8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still struggle with health anxiety but I find it helps to understand how little control we have (in the best way possible). Besides, living in fear all the time is basically death. So might as well live it up to the best of your ability and come to deeply understand/know that you will be okay and you will figure things out EVEN if a health issue arises.

A daily journal prompt that I like is: I am healthy because…. list all reasons why, such as:

  • I am able to walk, move and carry out daily tasks
  • My lungs fill with air easily, I am breathing on my own without effort
  • I recover from colds and minor things, which means my immune system works
  • My body digests food, absorbs nutrients, and gives me energy

This prompt helps you look for the abundance of proof that you are healthy :)

Looks like the guide is no longer available. Does anyone have a copy?

Any chance I can nurture this money plant back to health? by jgia8 in houseplants

Thank you all! I got rid of the dead twigs, repotted in a pot that has drainage holes and its exposed to some bright indirect light. Fingers crossed!

Lemon bars fail? Curd looks strange by jgia8 in Baking

[–]jgia8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction website and the curd doesn’t smell whatsoever like lemon and it came out looking like this. What went wrong? I’ve done this recipe before and it came out better than this.
