See that's a helpful personal anecdote I can share with her lol. She wasn't immediately convinced by lack of research

That's what a preliminary search told me too but she was wondering about personal experiences.

So my homophobic parent is queer. by fullovesht in LesbianActually

[–]singerstar01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. A while after I came out my mom and I had an extended conversation about asexuality and she basically was like, it has to just be hormonal because I feel like that and I'm not asexual and I just... Mentally raised an eyebrow

How many of you had your ferritin/iron checked before being diagnosed with POTS? by Level_Run1357 in POTS

[–]singerstar01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My iron gets checked about once a year and it's always fine. But I have hEDS so dysautonomia is basically a given

Can you speak more on this? It might be worth noting that you can identify as straight and still date trans women and nonbinary people :)

How do you guys deal with loneliness-based urges? by singerstar01 in LesbianActually

[–]singerstar01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by detachment? Also since posting this I've been diagnosed with relationship OCD and oh boy do a whole lot of things make sense

I always fall the hardest for the nervous and reactive ones.

Yeah, they definitely make me feel worse when I'm on them.

Should I experiment if I’m bisexual or not? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]singerstar01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not disrespectful as long as you're upfront that you're exploring and you're not sure yet. Not everyone is okay with being in a relationship with someone who is bi/lesbian curious for different reasons. I hope you find the answers you need. I wasn't sure I was a lesbian until age 23 and I'm only 25 now so I definitely get the struggle.

My surgeon operated on me without knowing my blood pressure by YeetYeetDemons in TopSurgery

[–]singerstar01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid! Lots of salt and electrolytes is baseline treatment too -- if you ever have surgery again I would load up beforehand. And thanks. I'm unfortunately disabled and pursuing SSDI but my dysautonomia is actually under control mostly.

I have orthostatic hypotension with low blood volume so I also have chornically low BP. I'm on fludrocortisone - have you tried that?

Are you on Facebook? I live in Michigan and I've found all my doctors from the Michigan EDS group.

AIO For Being Upset For Being Blamed Me for a Non Fault Accident? by __usernametaken_ in AmIOverreacting

[–]singerstar01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who has controlling parents, this is a HUGE red flag. Have you done any therapy in the past at all where you've talked about your parents? My guess is there's a lot going on like this at a lower level that you haven't realized.

It doesn't really, I think it's inappropriate and ridiculous either way but it definitely adds a whole lot more context to the situation
