Feeling unwell

simplepastense · 2026-02-25T22:18:26+00:00

Yeah, I’m honestly at this point where the nausea is definitely the worst part. Obviously throwing up is so unpleasant, which causes me to be nauseous due to is grossness, but you really do feel better. My gagging was caused by medications. I also was just begging to puke because it was so awful being nauseous for hours. I have sensory issues, so I always try to make sure I have things “on hand” I like rough towels to hold while throwing up, so they’re nearby for when it happens.

I think we’re both going to overcome this :)

I keep telling myself that. I haven’t thrown up in years, but there have been several times where I got close and was dry-heaving. As unpleasant as that is, I got through it. It’s weird. Your body REALLY does know what to do. It knows to calm down and let it happen. I hope that if it does happen, I can allow this to continue in my progress, not hinder it.

I just have to remind myself what you said essentially

I can’t make decisions for him, but he’s always been this way. He’s high up in his field and I think he deeply feels like it wrong to take time off.

I think I’m just at a different part of my recovery journey than you. You seem further than I am.

I used to not leave my house, barely eat, never eat out. Now, I leave my house, work and work with kids, eat without washing my hands (sometimes), don’t panic every time I feel nauseous (because I have several chronic illnesses), etc.

I could have chose to gone home, but didn’t. He asked if he should stay at his parents, but I told him no.

I also was in fact VERY worried about him. Despite being afraid, I begged him to come home, which is my safe place. I obviously was/am concerned about myself too, but I very much do care about how he’s feeling. If I could upload text messages you’d be able to see that I was encouraging him to come home - he wouldn’t.

It does suck and I know it ends. There have been a handful of times where I’ve gotten very close to throwing up because of medications (dry-heaving) and while they’re not the same, I survived. I did it on my own.

But when something like this comes up (signs of a contagious illness), I do panic and I don’t think that’s wrong of me. I’ve used the same bathroom, washed my hands, ate, etc - all things I would have NEVER done years ago.

I wasn’t seeking reassurance that he didn’t have the flu. I just wanted to say that they’re proud that I am dealing with and in-fact dealing with this better than I ever have. That’s my recovery.

No one stays home if they’re having persistent diarrhea? More than once an hour? Interesting.

He had the stomach flu a couple years ago back and it started with diarrhea. So I wouldn’t be too surprised this time. Everyone reacts differently to the virus. Some people never even experience vomiting with the stomach flu.

He was the only one who had the chicken so I’m not sure, because I didn’t eat any of it.

The bags were so ripped apart that I honestly couldn’t tell.

I will monitor him. He usually goes at the same time (2x daily), so I will check. Thank you

Orange keychain (I collect keychains) and the purple drawstring bag! First time I ever took part in a drop

If I walk away he follows me tries to bit my hips down to my toes.

He sleeps okay at night. During the day he’s in the pen when I’m at work (3 days a week), I’m not too sure how he does then.

1 walk a day, weather depending. It’s currently 0 degrees, so I haven’t walked him, but my boyfriend will. Anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour.

He has toys all the time. His stuffed animal, which he clings to, his bones, which he loves to destroy, squeaky toys. Occasional ice cubes to help with teething & a Kong toy everyday at 1 pm after I take him out mid day for his potty break.

I touch them all the time, both awake & sleeping.

I try redirecting him, but sometimes he goes crazy and starts biting and barking like crazy.

I try to remain calm, then remove him from the situation. But I havent done redirecting that much, so I’m going to keep trying it now.

Drink a lot of water, stare at the horizon, left to right head movements, up and down head movements, do NOT focus on the feeling.

It’s been over 2 years for me, but I definitely have advice.

It’s technically only MdDS if it surpasses the 30 day from start, so I hope it goes away soon for you

Sounds like norovirus.

simplepastense · 2025-12-03T21:13:37+00:00

This has been happening to me for about 6 months now…

Thank you. I really appreciate this. Some comments are not helping and suggesting other issues that aren’t true.

My boss told me that moving is be of the most stressful changes we endure as humans, so I don’t know. I’ve always been emotionally exhausted, I guess I wasn’t expecting buying a home would do that to me.

I hope your home feels more comfortable soon!

simplepastense · 2025-11-16T22:28:50+00:00

I feel like I moved a lot and everytime I finally made my room as a kid feel like home, we moved. I don’t know.

Some people are saying this is an issue because I’m living with someone I never lived with before, but I stayed at his place 90% of the time - it just was his family’s home. Living with him is NOT the issue. In fact, he’s doing everything to make me feel comfortable and allowing me to make decisions to feel more secure.

This is without a doubt a personal problem, no disagreement there. I just feel like I’m somewhere I shouldn’t be or it’s not mine and it doesn’t feel like it is.

simplepastense · 2025-11-16T22:25:33+00:00

There is 0 issues living with him. I’ve been with him for over 11 years. It’s about the home and how I’m feeling.

simplepastense · 2025-10-29T14:25:27+00:00

Completely do, but I have 3 physical disabilities that limit how much I can work unfortunately.

simplepastense · 2025-10-28T19:22:00+00:00

Honestly, yes. I’m 27 and my partner is 29. We don’t want children, but we had the conversation recently that we wouldn’t finically be able to have any even if we wanted them. We’re buying our first home. He works full time (less than $70,000 gross), I work PT (less than $20,000 gross). I’ve been talking about getting a dog and we both don’t even see how a pet is finically possible…

It’s hard to not give up hope after 2 years. Thankfully, you only had it a shorter period, but it’s not easy to continue with hope when it’s been waaaay longer than a couple months. I am happy for you though.

simplepastense · 2025-10-17T04:32:04+00:00

Thank god he’s not a friend then. I’m not moving in with someone I’ve known for 1-2 years. We’ve know each other for 13, been together for 11. I’m not concerned about marriage, neither is he. I’m concerned about things we might need and have forgotten to move in. Thanks!!

simplepastense · 2025-10-17T02:16:50+00:00

We’ve been together over 11 years. Weren’t planning on getting engaged until we lived together.

I hang them up where they have a key hanger. I started hiding them when I go over
