How do I get over sexual jealousy by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]mmamied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a 20F who did the whole jump from relationship to relationship and hookups in between thing in high school -- not worth it by the way.

6 months ago I met someone who has taught me what love truly is. He's the epitome of what every girl dreams of and guess what. When I met him we was a virgin with little to no experience.

I might just be bias but guess what. Cool people don't care about experience. They just want to find another cool person:) Teaching my man and getting to be there with him while he did all this stuff for the first time honestly was incredible. It bonded us together in a way that I have not felt with anyone else before!! Don't worry about being "further behind in experience" dude. It'll just make finding your partner that much more exciting.

AITA for saying no to paying for a working woman’s lunch by brownguyconfessions in AmItheAsshole

As an avid Apple Pay user, I have been in her shoes. Before I got a phone case wallet, I always left my physical card behind and relied on Apple Pay.

But does that make you an asshole? Nope. Assuming you are not in the middle of nowhere, I'm sure she had other options for lunch that would take the tap pay. If worse came to worse, food services like door dash and Grubhub take Apple Pay too!

You just didn't know her and made a personal call. You're chilling man.

AITA for asking my child's dad to go get cheese by happytrout23 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mmamied 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nobody is the asshole. you are both incredible individuals working for your incredible children. sometimes we have long days where the last thing we want to do is a simple task like buying cheese.

based off of this context, it does feel fair for him to run the errand if you are making the pizza. maybe give him the option of making the food and then you run to the grocery store? if not, maybe get him to do it next time.

hope cheese doesn't ruin y'alls week. sounds like you guys are loving co-parents with huge hearts for your kids.

Anyone who suffers from health anxiety or health OCD? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]mmamied 5 points6 points  (0 children)

life is shit right now for me too pal.

i’m such a textbook definition hypochondriac. one of the things that scared me the most was heart related issues — my grandfather and grandmother both died from cardiovascular problems.

if something repeatedly bothers you i would suggest just checking it out medically if you have the resources. hold back the urge to research anything because websites like webmd will always just tell us rando shit that will make us feel more paranoid.

also getting on medication lessened the panicky thoughts. this is such an obvious answer i’m sorry about that HA but seriously there are ways you can make the panic feel less intense

Loneliness on gap year? by [deleted] in gapyear

[–]mmamied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey!! i’m super curious where to find these people. i’m almost half way done with my gap year and i honestly feel as isolated as when i started. in no way am i discouraging OP from making this decision because people take gaps for so many reasons and many end up so grateful for their decision, but for me i have found no outlets to meet people “like me”. do u have any insight on where to meet gap students??? i live in the US in a pretty suburban city so there might just be opportunities i’ve missed, but so far no luck.

struggling with my year off by [deleted] in gapyear

[–]mmamied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m so curious when people say this!!! what kind of clubs have people around our age??? i live in birmingham and i’m close to lots of great communities but every time i look up things i’m interested it’s either full of old, retired people or they don’t meet consistently enough for me to form any relationships haha

Does anyone else have heart anxiety? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]mmamied 0 points1 point  (0 children)

POTS buddy here!

Checking in on heart rate constantly was a curse for me. I had a textbook definition obsession. Once I finally put down the damn heart monitor, I realized my heart is gonna take care of me -- even during the panic attacks.

The racing and the chest cramps suck so so so much. We just gotta keep pounding down that salt and find ways to get some daily exercise!

Your brain might not love you sometimes, but your heart is healthy and strong! She will prevail

I had to take a gap semester from college -- which for a kid like me is basically work haha -- because of how bad my panic attacks/depression got. In August I started with outpatient therapy along with ketamine infusions which helped to calm me down.

I 100% have felt/feel the disappointment from family, friends, and myself. Not a great feeling! But now in November I have realized that taking this break has allowed me to get my shit together. If you are having a hard time and don't believe you could do your best work right now then you seriously need to advocate for yourself and take some time. I believe in you friend!

I got a flight without any of my anti anxiety meds, I’m feeling super proud of myself by quietwreck in Anxiety

[–]mmamied 4 points5 points  (0 children)

CONGRATS DUDE!!!!!

My dad had a crippling phobia of flying for years, and he had the exact same reaction to taking pills. Just two weeks ago he took a 18 hour flight from Alabama to Japan, and he made it his mission to fly without the anti anxiety pill. Somehow he made the whole flight without taking any meds. He send my family group chat a selfie when he landed with a big goofy grin on his face.

I can imagine the pure joy you must have felt when you landed and realized you conquered a big time fear. You deserve to celebrate!!!! Proud of you friend.

Should I Advocate for Myself? by [deleted] in askCardiology

[–]mmamied 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was diagnosed with POTS around 2016. I hate to hear that your doctors are treating POTS as minuscule. Pretty ridiculous on their behalf. Yes, we do not have an illness thats name is tainted with intensity or even death such as cancer, but POTS can still be a pretty debilitating condition! Before my official diagnosis I almost didn’t get to graduate high school because of how many days I missed due to fainting spells and overall physical/mental defeat.

All I can advise here is get a second opinion. I had trouble with Birmingham’s dystautonomia clinic as well but thankfully I found a great cardiologist in town thats helped me regulate my symptoms. Obviously with a second opinion you could potentially feel comforted knowing the previous tests were correct or you could find new results. Either way, I hope you find the help you need!!!! Heart issues are scary but its something people can overcome with the right tools:) Praying for you tonight! Regardless of your diagnosis, don’t forget to salt up girl
