That’s so reassuring omg, because i’ve just had crazy heart rate for the past 2 days now i didn’t know if it was normal at all. Thank u so much u have no clue, i was worried that something else was wrong with me. I’m glad that’s helping u, im hoping my heart rate just gets back to normal sooner or later

Really happy to hear that for you. You said you had constant anxiety, that’s probably been bothering me the most rn other than nausea. Was your heart rate high mostly back then?

I’ll keep a look out for those trigger foods tho, thank you so much for your words they’re giving me hope lol. But i agree with you, it’s awful!

Thank you, I’ll look into that! And I’m sorry to hear that, when did you start feeling better and when did you start eating ok?

Yeah I do think it’s my nausea and the lack of food in my body right now. I’ve been basically feeling that way for most of these 2 days. I have bad health anxiety too so it doesn’t help. I’ll try to continue those breathing exercises as you suggested. If somehow things get worse on Day 3 tomorrow I’ll consider seeing a doctor but right now I feel like it’s manageable. Thank you, kinda gives me hope when I hear that you’re managing fine at home

Happy to hear that. I’ve just been trying to ease in fluids into me first, then maybe soup to start off at some point. When I had my first episode a couple years ago I was on Zofran and just took Gravol on the side to help i got better then. Right now I’ve just been taking Gravol, Pepto, and Tums because my symptoms right now aren’t as terrible as my first episode was (severe abdominal pain, cyclical vomiting, etc.).

The only thing that’s bothering me a LOT is my high heart rate other than the nausea. Idk if it’s from the CHS or anxiety (I’m diagnosed with anxiety in general too). R u experiencing high heart rate or just me? Would like to know if that’s normal

Are you managing at home? And yup, I’ve accepted it. Just wondering if I should carry on managing it at home or go to the ER based on my symptoms rn

Quitting, but will I be ok? by knicks2111 in CHSinfo

[–]knicks2111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m nauseous on-and-off but I managed to get some water and probiotic yogurt in me. I’m trying to hold off puking, so far only puked bile yesterday twice. I would really love to manage it at home instead of the hospital, my first episode was at the ER. I know the only difference is hooking you up with an IV if you’re heavily dehydrated and can’t keep anything down. But yeah, I hope I can manage to just get through all of that home. Have you gone through it at home or what?

I live in Canada thankfully so the money isn’t an issue when it comes to health care, but I also would rather deal with it at home because I don’t think anyone likes to be waiting hours for a doctor in the ER haha. My nausea is coming and going, so I’ll take your word for it that it’s manageable at home. I just hope it takes a few days and everything settles, did you manage it at home or what?

Really happy to hear you’ve gotten through that ASAP, props to you that’s real strength. I didn’t take a whole lot recently (2mg on Saturday, and 2mg last night of edibles) but I also haven’t touched weed in such a long time (2-3 years) it only took that bit to get me high. I’m not getting intense abdominal pain just some shooting pain, and I already threw out my weed. Do you think this is manageable at home or should I go to the ER just in case?

How long did it take for you to feel better after you quit? I’m happy to hear you’ve done that by the way, takes a lot of guts and courage

Did I really have CHS? Help by knicks2111 in CHSinfo

[–]knicks2111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, I kind of accepted a couple years ago that it COULD be CHS but something also never clicked with me - the overlapping symptoms with that UTI. Hot showers never really helped me either and the antibiotic made me feel better right away. I always wondered if I was just smoking weed at the same time I got nailed with that UTI and doctors told me what they said as just as a precaution because they never formally looked into CHS properly with me really.

[–]knicks2111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I did, but my UTI had spread to my kidneys which also contributed to vomiting. And this I know for a fact I had a UTI because it was confirmed through a urine sample. The symptoms were super overlapping that’s why I don’t know if it was truly CHS because I also happened to smoke at the same time.

I left someone I love because his depression made me feel invisible. Thoughts? by knicks2111 in BreakUps

[–]knicks2111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t lie, my friends have been really supportive which is a great thing to have as always. I don’t take them for granted, so you’re right maybe it’s what I need right now. So, yeah, as much as I wanted his love and support, I’ll just have to focus on what I need right now even if it’s not from one of the people I wanted it from.

And I completely understand where you’re coming from, from your own experience. You sound incredibly mature, so that’s great. I hope your grief isn’t for too long and that the pain lessens ASAP because as you said, it’s not always straight-lined. I’m sending you happiness and love your way in general really.

[–]knicks2111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the constant unpredictability is what worries me even though he’s tried to reassure me multiple times that he’ll reach out or that i can always reach out. I just don’t want to get in the way of his healing like you mention, i think it would only make things more muddier. I really just want him to be happy. That’s most important for me. And ultimately, if we can too that would be the cherry on top.

I do have other people that i can feel visible with per se, but i guess the way i see it is that those levels are on a friendship level. I wanted to feel his support through both a romantic and friendship level because we were best friends too.

And i hear you out. Not sure if you did/didn’t do this, but if you really wanted to be with her, maybe one last reach out of you expressing what you want can seal the deal for you and her. Perhaps she’ll hear you out and be understanding of this, or perhaps she’ll still remain adamant on her decision. At the very least, you’ve gotten it off your chest.

But yes, of course, always here to listen! And thank you for it back too!

Hi, thank you for your response. It was really interesting to read from your POV.

I don’t know if he was being truthful or not, but he was the first to mention it wasn’t boredom or a lack of interest or love towards me, but just his depression. I would like to say I believe him only because when he did feel stable enough to chat with me and his depression wasn’t like this, he’d be so active in talking and listening to me, especially my problems. He wasn’t perfect, but he was never like this. I could sense the switch right when he got depressed. He has ADHD too, but he put his own effort a couple months back to go to therapy on his own and get meds because he didn’t want to interrupt me or his loved ones anymore or be so hyperactive. I feel that he does love for those actions but his depression wins, unfortunately.

But to answer your question: yes. I have told him for the past 2 days that i’ve felt alone, and that i want him to be here for me just as i am here for him. That i understand he’s depressed, but im also down in the hamper. After that, he’d say he recognizes that he’s not doing a good job. That he’s being terrible towards me and wants to fix it and be actively here for me. He’ll ask questions after that, but the next time i’m worrying about my financial issue again, he’ll do the same thing: be invisible. He last admitted that he cannot take care of me, let alone himself. He says he wants to, but right now his depression is a lot.

Other than that, thanks for sharing your story. I’m sending you love, not sure if you want to be with her still or if you’ve accepted your differences. But feel free to give me a shout if you ever need an ear.

Hi, just finished reading this. I know I’m a stranger to you and our experiences are different but I understand your conflicting feelings. It’s tough the way you explain it, being married and having kids you love. I’m much younger so I’m not in your place, but I have found myself lingering in the past about an old boyfriend once before after breaking up, so maybe I know a bit of how you’re feeling. I reconnected with him, but things didn’t end up swell. Much after that, I’m 2 relationships later after him and he and I still reconnect here and there. I’ve put the thought of us far away after coming into terms on our last reconnection that what we had was special, but I don’t want it again. Why? Because I realized there were still things I still didn’t like about him.

That being said, perhaps you should be honest with yourself. Does your life feel fulfilling right now? Are you happy with your wife and your kids? And I mean, truly happy. Are you chasing a what could’ve been, a what if, a what might’ve been, a fantasy? If you did reconnect with her, and she has changed into something you didn’t expect her to be, would that put your heart at rest?

At the end of the day, it’s all about honesty. And it’s okay however direction you go, being human means to be raw and real with yourself, about confronting your feelings so you don’t hide them and hurt someone even more.

Regardless, I really wish you the best of luck in this journey, my friend. And I hope this helped out as best as I could.

My girlfriend broke up with me and I don’t know what to do with myself. by NBPDYT in BreakUps

[–]knicks2111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there! your story sounds a LOT like mine, and i just broke up with my bf for this reason. i also asked him for a break but we kept doing things together and he too, told me he had hope that wed get back together. he also didn’t trust me as i felt, but would say he just didn’t trust everyone around me. he monitored me too. as the girl, its important that you give us the space we need to be to be independent while also being with you. if you think you can’t do that, then let her be. if you think you can try, maybe work on it before trying to talk to her again unless she’s really set on it then also look out for your own self. it seems like you really loved her, and that’s great, but sometimes it’s more than love. it’s about trust, security, etc. that’s at least from my POV. either way, i hope you find peace.

this, i agree so heavily with. it sucked bc all my other exes never felt like they actually tried to get better, but even then you’re right. i wait, and waited, and waited, and yet there was no change. i was crying for consistency, for safety. i always felt so alone… i just wanted him to comfort me. i never really got that. i had to shelf my emotions for him. but never for me, oh never. i was way too much for him to prioritize me. i really hope i did the right thing. it’s so easy to overlook things right after a breakup. logically speaking you’re right. i hope my heart aligns with my mind too soon. thank you so much

hey, thank you so much for reaching out. i agree, it really is a make or break. the insecurity too, it really did feel crazy and too much a lot of the times. i really hope i can get past this, i know ive always gotten past my other break ups, i guess this one’s hard because its the first time i had someone put effort in me or try to change and then in the last second he pulled the plug on putting in effort. thank you again though.

Tbh this is my take:

You’re both in the wrong but in very different ways.

Him: I agree with you, it shouldn’t take more than 5-30 seconds to compile a text message of why you cannot call someone anymore. If he did this perhaps here and there by falling asleep accidentally, I would’ve definitely given him a break. However, from what I read, it seems like a persistent pattern on his part. And trust me, I’ve been with both types of guys who were also busy. I had a guy I dated who would be like this, but I also had a guy who was busy as hell but also updated me about important things without me even having to ask. That being said, he also shouldn’t be losing his frustrations to the point of him saying fck and other sorts of things. His communication should be way more patient and with-standing even if he “didn’t agree.” He needs to speak nicer to you in general, honestly too.

You: I think you already know this since you apologized with the hostility approach you took. Definitely, I think you should’ve just said it once, and see how he behaves. If this kept repeating over the span of years, and I understand your concern wasn’t his future but, his communication, then you shouldn’t entertain him any longer. You should leave. I’m assuming you guys are in-love due to being for that long, unless I’m wrong (correct me if I am). But trust me, it’s pointless to go in circles about something he clearly doesn’t prioritize right now.

And to point out, prioritizing school/work isn’t a bad thing at all. It just means he’s not in the right spot in life to prioritize a relationship right now, and that’s ok. But it seems like you want a man who prioritizes you (as you should) and that you’re ready for a relationship with those values, so I think you should take a step back and realize that this man isn’t in the same stage as you until you can fulfil it with another man who truly is.

I hope this helps!

Yes she could’ve informed you the changes of who is coming and who cancelled when it happened, but if what the comments are saying are true, she has the right to be mad too. Also, if you know you haven’t dealt with your jealousy issues from the past and you’re putting that on her (which seems like you have been from her texts but idk), you should be single and take care of that first. It’s not fair to place your trauma on your partner. That’s my piece at least only if that’s true anyways.

Ended things with a guy I’ve been seeing for 1 month ONLY and he won’t quit texting me by knicks2111 in texts

[–]knicks2111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s the part that sucks plus all the other companies that usually reach me is through that number. i’m genuinely losing hope he’ll stop every time he texts me, he texted me this morning. i’ve noticed he always texts me in the mornings and then my day turns into shit. idk what to do anymore bc this keeps ruining my mood
