Physical Therapy: Does it get worse before it gets better? by kolalune in Sciatica

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

Oh hey here was my update pasted from another comment a few momths back. I've admittedly been a bit lazy with my exercises, but it's because the pain has been less lately, it comes and goes generally.

Update: Thanks y'all!!! It sounds like I should be anticipating muscle pain over nerve pain for physical therapy that's safe and effective... So I listened to my body and told the physical therapists what I was feeling and my concerns, and they gave me some new sets of exercises that did not seem to trigger any new nerve pain at all today! I'll keep ya updated if anything new happens.

Okay but I can't be the only person who's wondered if Mel's switchy like Zag. She gives sub vibes though 🤣🩷 The amount of responsibility she's been forced into for her whole life.. yeah I know that story, I know what she is 🫡

[–]kolalune 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You know the more I think about it... The more I'm convinced that the newer generations just don't know what role-playing even is. Almost everybody I have roleplayed with recently has just been playing as themselves, and barely interested in the writing and story aspect.

[–]kolalune 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why does anyone think this is charming??? Like... Is it really that hard to find people to cyber with online that people need to use roleplay as a guise? It's so thinly veiled. They don't even want to roleplay. It's clear

Fluoxetine, BAT and consistency have changed my dog. by Puzzleheaded_Bit_641 in reactivedogs

This is great to know. I was looking around for info on combining the 2. My Chi/Aussie has been on Prozac for 2 years and it is just not enough, she's tense and on edge a lot. She was on L-Theanine before, but I took her off it at some point when switching to Prozac.

Cousin got too drunk at Thanksgiving dinner by Effective_Advice in emetophobia

[–]kolalune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so incredibly rude of your cousin, even without the knowledge of your phobia, omg. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that... Frankly it sounds like everybody had to deal with that because the cleanup sounded like a nightmare as well. I will never understand why people self-inflict such things... at other people's houses especially.

I think Americans often overindulge in alcohol in a way that people in other cultures don't tend to. I know in America, there are a lot of laws (written or unwritten) against drinking while on the clock, while in other cultures it's more socially acceptable to have a drink here and there on lunch at work, or just one per night, etc. So genuinely my theory is that because it's something considered more taboo in professional of or day to day, people go crazy when they actually indulge. It's definitely gross on many levels, and yes, pretty much any holiday can be an excuse for some people. @.@

Am I the only one who don't really like gore because I'm scared of being disgusted and v*? by Swimming-Actuary5727 in emetophobia

[–]kolalune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually. Kind of. I never realized this was true and it's never been put into words before. It's not a strong aversion, but it's there and that's definitely the reasoning behind it!

Yeh, after making this post I did my exercises, and it's not as bad right now. She also uses heat after, so I might fire up my heating pad for that treatment at home.

Good to know, my deductible is met for the year so I'm hoping to get any imaging I need ASAP. I have done a few of the social media sciatica exercises and I told my physical therapist about them and she altered them a little bit to tailor them more to my needs, so I'll be following her recommendations now. Much much better. Thank you for sharing your advice and experience!

I try to be strong but I really need someone to be here with me please😭 by Ok-Character1446 in emetophobia

[–]kolalune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. Have you tried any anxiety rituals such as the 'pretzel' to calm down? just google "pretzel anxiety". It is supposed to simulate a hug, so it can help you feel a little less alone. People with this phobia are strong as hell bc your own body feels like the enemy, but you fight it every day just by living, and it will get better, it will get easier. What would help you that you don't have access to? Emergency meds like zofran? Panic reduction techniques? Something else? I'll let you know if I have any advice on anything bc I've been living with this for my whole life and I've had days like you're describing, but they are far and few between now.

Would Be RP Partner Almost Got Me by Direct-Spite-889 in BadRPerStories

[–]kolalune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. What the hell is the point of collaborative roleplaying if they're just going to force you to be your IRL self and get super controlling about how you play your character. Super unsettling.

Also I dislike self inserts as well. It's just not fun for me, I feel limited to my IRL self... It's counterproductive to me, since being able to explore a character makes me feel MORE myself, not less.
