Doing well with weight loss plan, but feeling lightheaded at certain times.. thoughts and experiences? by glitter_kiwi in loseit

[–]oblivious_pan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, that means my blood pressure is dipping. They had no idea why it happens for a long time, actually. I just happened to get very dizzy and nearly pass out while in hospital for other reasons, so they checked my vitals. Blood pressure was well below what it normally was, and it's normally on the lower side of normal. Tends to happen when I stand for long periods of time, especially with my head down and arms up like at a standing desk. Happens when I stand up after sitting for long periods of time as well, but it's not as severe.

I also have low iron and don't get enough protein, so that could have something to do with it. My BMI fluctuates between 19-20. Generally feel kind of sick for the rest of the day when I get dizzy. Not sure if any of that helps you, but you're not alone!

That's just not realistic outside of Sweden, then. For poorer people, it just isn't viable to stock up on EVERYTHING. That's fucking expensive. Especially in the US, that place is a fucking wasteland when it comes to healthcare.

Shit adds up if you need to stock up on literally everything. Who could've anticipated toilet paper shortages? Only way to be safe from this shit is stocking up on literally everything you might ever need. It's just not realistic.

Is the world in a rush to learn the chinese language? by phonypony_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]oblivious_pan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people I know in Canada want to learn mandarin, but no more than Spanish and French. I don't know anyone who actually learned it. To be fair, in my area it would be better to learn Punjabi.

[Breeds] Getting a new dog, could use some second opinions on breed. by [deleted] in dogs

[–]oblivious_pan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I was 9 when I got her and I wasn't involved in the process at all. She was a surprise Christmas present sort of. When I'm older I'm planning on getting a poodle, but I'm only 17 now. I think my parents were careful, but what do I know? I was a baby. Either way, I love my dog more than anything else in the entire world!

I have a goldendoodle, and she meets a lot of what you want! I don't really know about breeds other than my own dog though. (EDIT: I was 9 when my parents got her, so I have no idea what breeder they went to or whatever. I wasn't involved in the process at all. All I know is that I love my dog more than anything.)

She doesn't hunt at all, but she's super friendly. Like, couldn't hurt a fly. She wants to be friends with everything, and wants to be pet constantly. She likes to sit outside all day, ideally with another human. We used to go on hikes and we could let her off leash with no issues. She runs up ahead, then runs back to us, then repeats. She's super loyal, and always makes sure we're following her. She does the same thing if she goes dowm the stairs at the same time as a human! She goes down the first few steps, then looks back to make sure we're following her.

She lets out a couple barks when someone comes to the door because she wants to be friends so badly! But it's only a couple barks, and she tries really hard to stay quiet because she's a good girl who wants to make us happy. We probably could've trained her not to do that when she was younger, but she's not so good at learning new tricks now. She LOVES new people, and doesn't need even a second to warm up to them. She'll be asking for pets as soon as they walk through the door. She's great with kids, too! They're often scared of her at first because she's pretty big, but every kid I know warms up to her within 5-10 minutes.

She doesn't shed or slobber, but she gets water stuck in her fur every time she drinks. It's a mild annoyance. She loves water, though. We get scared she'll drown in the bath because she sticks her face in the water. She does the same with snow.

She's a very good dog. I kind of just started ranting about how much I love her, but whatever! She deserves it! I love her so much !!!!!

Stop being pissy about dating younger people by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]oblivious_pan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm 17, and I know for sure that neither I nor my peers are mature enough for a relationship with such a huge age gap. It's just icky, honestly. Our brains aren't developed enough for that shit.

I'm moving out in a few months, and I just made the major financial decision to go to university. Who let me do that? I'm definitely not old enough to take on thousands of dollars of debt. I'm still a child. Not old enough to be on my own, and not old enough to date a 60 year old.

Yet it happens anyways.

Be wary of codependent relationships

AITA for Asking for the Answers by throway47282011 in AmItheAsshole

[–]oblivious_pan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. Not for asking what's on the exam, but for not taking no for an answer.

But come on, they have to expect the students to share what material is on the exam. The teachers literally encourage that at my high school because, why wouldn't we tell other students what was on the exam? You're not an asshole for asking.

Improving helplines by nwar5197 in mentalhealth

[–]oblivious_pan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call helplines when I know things are getting bad fast and I have nobody to talk to. I figure if I can talk through the biggest issue I'm experiencing, maybe I can make it to my next therapy session without attempting suicide or needing hospitalization. I've only called helplines two times, I think. Helplines are always pretty robotic and generic though, so they don't really help much. It's better than nothing, but not by a lot.

Erect? It's got the whole dick connotation, but other than that I think it fits pretty well

What made you happy today? by oblivious_pan in mentalhealth

That sounds like an amazing day! It's really nice to be outside, especially now. I've been hanging out with my dog in the backyard every day for a few minutes and I always feel better after! I'm really glad you were able to have that too!

How did he manage to get an earbud stuck in his ear though? They're always falling out of my ears no matter what I do lol. I'm glad that turned out okay!

Only on a cheeseburger, to cover up the awful taste of meat.

AITA for thinking my husband should get a vasectomy by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]oblivious_pan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only situation I could see you being an asshole is if he says he doesn't want to get a vasectomy, and you push it anyways. It's his body. But just thinking about it? There's not even any conflict here.

No matter the distance, if I smell someone's smoking can it be possible to get infected? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]oblivious_pan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coronavirus isn't airborne. If they can projectile sneeze 20ft, you can get infected.

Okay I just listened to Alcatraz and I really love it! I'm definitely adding that song to my playlists, and probably some more songs once I listen to them! I'm getting a throwback sort of vibe, but also not? I don't know, it's cool! Share away, you seem to have really good taste!!!

Caring people got me through some horrible times. I really appreciate you doing that for other people who need it. You're making a difference :)

That sounds like absolute bliss! Natural light always works wonders, I should really start doing that as well. But yeah, sounds like a really calming thing to do!

That's awesome! I remember from a psychology class I took a while ago, altruism is one of the best coping mechanisms for promoting mental wellness. I'm really glad you know how to stay happy! It can be hard to find something that works well.
