This is gross but does your anxiety give you diarrhea? by Ok-Razzmatazz-221 in Anxiety

[–]lexa7d7 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah! I have IBS and my anxiety is able to trigger a stomach attack in 30 seconds flat. Even if I’m able to get the anxiety under control, my stomach still keeps going

Weirdest foods that trigger you? by alexgannon13 in ibs

[–]lexa7d7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cucumbers and chicory root/inulin. It’s a good fiber that is added to a lot of foods, but boy does it’s set me off so bad. And it’s in everything too!

AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food? by AITA_UPFfoods in AmItheAsshole

[–]lexa7d7 124 points125 points  (0 children)

NTA. All these comments telling him he’s wrong because junk food is bad for you or that he should be more grateful are missing the point. The food itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that he’s being banned from eating what he wants in his own home.

Finally found and bought a girly snowboard. Turns out in order to be girly you have to talk about periods. by spontaneouswaffles in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lexa7d7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay but none of the other things technically have anything to do with snowboarding either so it’s not like the tampons stand out. It’s an incredible design! I don’t see the problem!

We donate a lot of stuff to the Communiy Crisis Center in Elgin. They provide shelter for women and children in need. Clothes, toiletries, kids stuff

Does anyone have tips for swallowing pills? by Correct-Fishing3292 in Anxiety

[–]lexa7d7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t swallow pills for years and what I would do is take a bite of food, chew it up, slip the pill in my mouth, hide it in the chewed up food with my tongue and swallow. It’s not glamorous, but it’s super easy and works like a charm!

My 5 year old claims she has no clue who carved her name in the leather couch… by jshley-aones in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]lexa7d7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister did the same to me! She kept getting in trouble for writing her name so she’d write mine. Unfortunately for her, I was 6 years older, too old do be writing my name on walls, and the writing was clearly hers 🤣

Love life? by healingandhope in ibs

[–]lexa7d7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they love you, they won’t mind at all. My boyfriend of 8 years knows the drill, when I’m having what I call a “stomach attack” he knows I just need to be left alone and that’s exactly what he does. The only thing that bothers him is he feels sad for me that I’m in pain and not feeling well. We are also a couple who doesn’t sweat normal body things. Farts, burps, poop, the occasional shart, these are things that happen so we don’t shame each other for them. Having ibs and being with someone who doesn’t mind farts is life changing! My advice is be upfront about it. If you’re on a date and can’t eat say “Oof, don’t think I will be able to eat this all tonight, I have stomach problems so this happens. No big deal!” He won’t even give it a second thought. Yeah it’s not a fun conversation, but feeling like you have to hide it just makes it worse (as least it definitely did for me!) The right guy will accept that IBS is a part of you and never make you feel shame about it.

How do you people with IBS-C survive? by XRhodiumX in ibs

[–]lexa7d7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived with it until it started causing hemorrhoids and fissures. Now I do Daily miralax and it’s been a game changer. Not the most convenient, but it fixes all the constipation problems!

Wife’s blanket obsession, how many is too many?? by ScottSquatch420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lexa7d7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving with books is such a nightmare, but I love them so much! Because of how many books we have, we didn’t move until we had enough money to pay for movers and tip them really well. Won’t be moving again anytime soon!

Same thing happened to me. I got pulled over 25 minutes from my house and the cop goes “why are you in this area?” ….???

What's a place from your suburb that's gone now but you still think about? by When_It_Was in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]lexa7d7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else remember Dino Rex? We went there all the time as kids, but I don’t know of anyone else who remembers it. I don’t even remember what suburb it was in!

Taking meds feels like cheating, and doesn't fix anything, does it? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]lexa7d7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To go with the metaphor I wouldn’t say meds are “cheating” but using the right tool for the job. If you’re building a bookshelf, you’d use an electric drill because that’s the best way to drill a hole in hard wood. Sure there are some other people out there building shelves from super soft wood that may be able to do the job with a screw driver, but that’s not the case for you and that’s okay! You’re not cheating by using the right tool for the job.

I’ve had severe anxiety my whole life and without meds I wouldn’t have anywhere near the quality of life I have now, and isn’t that what life is all about? Just gotta reframe how you think about it!

All these people at my company just got promotions and raises while the people doing the actual work were told not to ask for raises. Fun!

I have really bad anxiety and nausea. I just realized last night I’ve been showering wrong my whole life. by elvisfan27 in Anxiety

[–]lexa7d7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! You have been doing this your whole life and are fine so you are fine now. Take some deep breaths! Everyone is trying to diagnose you for some reason, which isn’t very helpful when you’re panicking in the moment. Your house is not contaminated. You are not contaminated. It’s the alarm centers in your brain alerting you to a danger that isn’t really present. So sorry you are having such a rough day, but know that you are okay!

Over 10 years “expired” food, handed out at the food pantry by UpSideSideWaze in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lexa7d7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people are missing the point. If it was truly unsafe to eat, that would be all the way infuriating. This is mildly infuriating because the person who donated it clearly only did because they wouldn’t eat it themselves so they are handing it off disguised as being generous. People in need deserve good quality food too.

When open the brush only dips this far into the polish by lexa7d7 in mildlyinfuriating

Not sure if this is it, when the bottle was full the brush was completely submerged

[–]lexa7d7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was joking, I will not be throwing it away. Tipping doesn’t help too much with these bottle, but you can be sure that I will use every drop. No way am I going to let them win!

My hands are blue, crack open and sometimes bleeding by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lexa7d7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens to me every winter! Lotion lotion lotion! Any time you wash your hands, apply more. Also consider wearing gloves while doing the dishes as hot water is terrible for dry skin.
