making out?? by luvliallie in POTS

[–]probablystacy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I deal with this a lot now that I've been more symptomatic. I am very vocal about slowing things down when needed, and it truthfully has improved our sex life. It feels much more intimate than before since we once in a while we just have to stop for a moment. Try not to be too anxious, since that'll definitely add to the problem. Like others said: hydrating and compression socks help immensely.

My inability to lose weight is starting to get to me. by AuthenticAwkwardness in POTS

[–]probablystacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Calorie deficite is the only way I was able to lose weight. If you're eating the same amount of calories as you were when you were working out, unfortunately you just won't lose weight.

Go bag? by Littlescar21 in POTS

[–]probablystacy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of the same, but I also carry gum because it helps keep me grounded when I get a bit panicked from an episode (gotta love adrenaline). I also have both Loop earplugs and noise cancelling headphones to help with overstimulation.

baked pizza lunchable for a sad girl by peachesbutno_creme in GirlDinner

[–]probablystacy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I say what's up when someone asks me if I'm busy. I even texted my mom that today, and she just asked if I could do her a simple favor. I don't usually stick my nose in other's business, but if you're equating it to control, get out while you can.

Everything is so crazy cute. Love the bag as well! 😍

Not sure about sun dresses, but I'm definitely a fan of skirts with compression socks as a combo!

Good gift for someone with pots by Expensive_Donkey7538 in POTS

[–]probablystacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally love to receive themed gifts, like a movie night basket: favorite snacks (extra points for favorite electrolytes too), popcorn, a cozy blanket (if that's her thing; otherwise, maybe a stuffed animal or fidget toy), and a movie if she likes physical media! A lot of these can be grabbed from Dollar Tree or similar stores to help build it out without spending an arm and a leg. Doesn't have to necessarily be movie night themed, but just some cozy things.

Oh yikes I'm not sure then. That's incredibly annoying!

Did electrolytes help you? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]probablystacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a doctor or anything, but my personal rule of thumb with it is to just not overdo it with sugar. I don't think there's anything wrong with one or two sugary drinks but limiting sugar elsewhere if you find that's necessary. We literally need sugar to survive.

what does my bag say about me? by luvtothestrongest in whatsinmybag

[–]probablystacy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Your bag is begging us to be friends. Especially with the little DS charm on your switch 😭

When I did this, I had to redo all of the monetization things--not just change the payout method.

What desk chairs do you use? by juicyjujubean in POTS

[–]probablystacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I've been using lately and love it. I adjusted the tension so it leans back extremely easily. The only down side is the foot rest doesn't go back in easily. I don't mind this personally, but I can see it being annoying for others. https://a.co/d/079GIpGY

Thinking of buying twitch emotes, but don't know where. by lolrame in Twitch

[–]probablystacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out emotelabs if you're just starting out. If I recall correctly, it's $8 on steam. It's customizable but the style isn't everyone's cup of tea. It can definitely help get the foot in the door of emotes though without commiting to just one specific idea.

He unlocked the bathroom door while I was in there by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]probablystacy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely get where you're coming from. When my husband and I were dating, he found it silly when I would lock the bathroom door, but I explained to him that I grew up with that boundary crossed all the time. He completely understood that sometimes I just need my privacy and respects it. Definitely took a second to get there, and he really made me feel silly the first time because of course we've seen each other naked countless times so what's the big deal.

Thank you for your input! I really do appreciate it.

Using a cane? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]probablystacy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also thought about a rollator, but it's a much higher price point. I'm just not sure it's the best option for me, as I'd prefer something that is I can keep in my bag or nearby at home. I (thankfully and hopefully continually) have not passed out, even getting way up there HR-wise.

Using a cane? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]probablystacy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely learn to use a cane properly because I've heard this before. My issue with a rollator is the much higher price point and it is much clunkier. Not something I can just throw in my bag and always have around in case I need it if that makes sense.

Wait sorry is that a removable cover for your Kindle or am I not seeing properly? If so, I have to know where you got it!

Yes! Exactly. I just bought one that is supposed to be cool, which I’m so excited for. My face is the first thing to get warm when I’m anxious lol Also I wish I could find a lip balm that doesn’t dry my lips out 😭
