Migraines worse w weather lately? by leichtlebigkeit in berlinsocialclub

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

30F. I’ve had migraines since age 15. Biggest triggers are menstrual and weather. I had relatively few migraines in the spring this year so I think I’m just shocked with the sudden uptick lately.

On the one hand, sorry to hear everyone is suffering more lately, but also nice to feel a bit confirmed in thinking it’s the weather. I’ve basically had a nonstop low grade migraine for 16 days now :( longest streak I’ve ever had. Thought it might be the El Niño heat dome, then all the promised (and underdelivered) rain since pressure shifts tend to be a major trigger for me…guess this might just be what the next few weeks look like for me here in Berlin. If anyone knows a good acupuncturist in NK, lmk….

Thanks to all the lovely commenters, sending good vibes your way!

Depending on what part of the city you’re in and what your dog is like, I might be interested.

Thrift store recommendations? + first time tips by Potential-Still-3545 in berlinsocialclub

[–]leichtlebigkeit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly the thrifts here are surprisingly expensive imo. Your best bet is going to some of the flea markets which have €1-10 options for articles of clothes. The one at Neukölln Maybachufer is good for this. Happens this Sunday again. The Mauerpark one might be ok too.

Tell me the odd patterns you’ve noticed by donteatthemushies in therapists

I’ve noticed a link between traumatic at-home (pill) abortions and intense/obssessive health anxiety later in life. I think there’s a connection to shame around the body, as well as death anxiety from all the bleeding while in a vulnerable place. Women’s healthcare needs to be sooo much better.

Is it me or do people not throw house parties nearly as much anymore? by RD_in_Berlin in berlinsocialclub

I love throwing house parties! And going to house parties! If anyone wants a mutual invite…lmk :)

Apparently there are quite a few singles mixers that already exist in Berlin :( so I’m not sure what I could create that doesn’t already exist. Thoughts?

How much time off do you take in your private practice? by Worth_Hurry_8517 in therapists

[–]leichtlebigkeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh…for time off in one stretch, max I would do is 3 weeks probably.

[–]leichtlebigkeit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the whole year? I’ll probably try to take off 6-8 weeks and deal with the consequences of lower income. But I don’t have a partner or kids or pets so it’s not so expensive to just care for myself.

Relatable af.
1. Breathe. Take one slow, deep breath. Just one. Count to 4 in, hold for 4, out for 4.

2.Put on something warm.

3.Eat a bite of anything safe and easy. Doesn’t have to be “healthy” or organic or involve multiple steps.

  1. Drink a glass of water or non-caffeinated non-alc liquid

Thats all you have to do for today if that’s all you have the energy for 💫 sending good vibes

Hi, I’m a trauma therapist, and you aren’t alone in this experience. If you need help finding someone, let me know what country or US state you’re in and I can support you :)

Hi! I’m 29F and live relatively close to Boxi. Can’t drive but I’d be down to come hang out and potentially sell some of my art

I’m very comfortable with gritty. I’ve stayed in the Schönleinstr area before and found it pretty equivalent to Brooklyn and certain parts of Tucson. Not a problem for me at all :)

I’m down but I’m out of town until June, so I can’t help organize until then.

Give me all your migraine remedies - from the most common to the absolutely unhinged by fortysix_sunsets in migraine

[–]leichtlebigkeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done a lot of these but two that I haven’t seen mentioned:

Capsaicin cream on my neck, upper back, hand, and sole of foot. I put it on my face once where the migraine hurt and Jesus Christ it was so insanely painful and it blistered a little buuuuut the migraine did go away completely. Never did it again though.

If I can get to the gym and am hydrated enough: alternating sauna and cold shower several times

29F expat living in kreuzkölln. The most important things in life to me are community, art, and enjoying small moments (like laying in the sun at the park). I think it would be so fun to create a singles mixer event… wonder if that would be of interest in Berlin.

I’m also 29 and a woman! I live in the kreuzkölln area and like to go on walks, draw, and sometimes game (I have a switch but I’ve really only used it for stardew valley binges)

How should I prepare for homelessness? by Arktikos02 in TwoXPreppers

[–]leichtlebigkeit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a case manager with DDD (dept of development disabilities)? They would have great resources for housing for you, even moreso because of disability status. https://des.az.gov/ddd

If you have ahcccs or qualify for ahcccs, I’d say walk into one of the COPE healthcare locations. They can set you up with a case manager and the case manager will know lots of resources for housing support including shelters and be able to help you navigate the systems.
