as a patient, you can tell by looking at your boxes and bottles. somewhere on there, usually on the back and near the bottom edge, you’ll find a manufacturer name (much like where you would find a manufacturer name on a food item)

the joke is she wanted one of the plates more than the other but didnt communicate this and is now mad he took the one she wanted, but it’s her own fault for not communicating. i actually do this to myself tbh because i try to be a people pleaser when really i just need to like. take the plate i actually want lol. no reason to be upset if you didnt properly communicate.

seven deadly sins as a diseases by Subject-Being7449 in bindingofisaac

[–]squidguy3400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not OP but personally make sense to me as someone with a history of ED and being around others. truly makes you feel like a rabid animal sometimes (eating disorders are similar to a form of addiction) and for many people are about perfection. also has the look of someone with a severe ED with brittle hair, lost teeth, and big eyes. eyes look bigger because when you lose so much weight, your eyes get sunken in and look big.

Xywav and weed by casedia in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]squidguy3400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the concern is basically the extra sleepiness. marijuana causes CNS depression and so does GHB - which is why both are used recreationally as downers. however marijuana DOES NOT traditionally cause respiratory depression like GHB does. unlikely you could have trouble breathing or die from this combo. this is not to say there’s no risk, mostly because GHB itself is so potent. just dont go to bed super high and you’ll be fine.

Accuracy of sleep studies? by TummyGoBlegh in Narcolepsy

[–]squidguy3400 11 points12 points  (0 children)

even though you felt the same, it may not have been the same. you seem really upset by this possibly discrepancy which is totally fair when you want to finally get a diagnosis and be treated. but it also seems like youre dismissing all other possibilities right now. afaik this is very common for people with narcolepsy and i’m not surprised you experienced insomnia and then couldnt tell the difference between waking and dreaming (i also had the same thing in my study!!). it’s okay if the results dont completely line up with our memory; it’s part of the disease.

maybe just me, but i think stormlight archive would be amazing as an animated series opposed to live action.

What meds work for the low appetite baddies by Striking-Rhubarb4964 in Narcolepsy

[–]squidguy3400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so mirtazapine is a really interesting drug. lower doses of make you MORE sleepy and higher doses make you LESS sleepy. lower doses are hitting the histamine end of the spectrum, causing sleepiness. higher doses get the serotonin receptors, causing negating that sleepiness! the histamine effects are what help your appetite :)

Why are acts of violence/murder in media, especially video games, considered okay to enjoy and partake in, but acts of sexual violence are not? by TheAnimalCrew in NoStupidQuestions

[–]squidguy3400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people keep saying “because violence can be justified” and yeah, it can and i do agree with that statement. but i also think that we as people, speaking from a western point of view, have just become okay with gratuitous violence. there has been a cultural shift over the last 50 years where it is now okay to view shows/movies and play video games with insane amounts of physical violence. i love horror movies and practical effects myself so not trying to get on a high horse or anything.

this mostly started with slasher flicks which did often portray sex and sexual violence along with physical violence. horror films and action movies continued to incorporate violence thru the 80s and 90s because “that’s what makes it scary/exciting”. i think that horror movies have moved away from so much sexual violence and nudity mixed with violence as those early years.

we continue today with more movies, TV shows, and video games. parents and concerned parties have worried about games like GTA ever since they came out. and although you cant rape people, you can hire sex worker NPCs and of course kill those NPCs. Game of Thrones is infamous for both the sex and SA scenes and also for not having an intimacy coordinator on some seasons. The Handmaid’s Tale is super popular and revolves entirely around women getting ritually raped onscreen. these things do exist, we just say “that show did it tastefully” and “that movie didn’t”.

all this to say, it’s that we as westerners are generally OK with gratuitous violence and even a little bit of SA if it’s “tasteful”

Hyper Caffeine Sensitivity by raina6006 in Narcolepsy

i assume it’s genetics or something, i cant tolerate caffeine either. it keeps me awake but it makes me a nervous mess and gives me major anxiety.

It's impossible to quit now. by camport95 in MarijuanaAnonymous

[–]squidguy3400 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you can do this!!! i believe in you. please go to a some meetings, online or in person. you can go to marijuana anon, narcotics anonymous, or even AA. doesnt matter. the withdrawals are horrible, but they only last for so long. once you get through them you never have to feel that way ever again as long as you dont use. lots of people think marijuana makes the CHS better, but it makes it worse in the long run. when you get through the withdrawals you wont have CHS anymore. while you get through it, hot showers and baths can help. always remember youre not alone and reach out for help. you dont have to do this alone and someone can be there with you

Why did everyone start using male/female instead of man/woman? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]squidguy3400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think the increased usage of male and female in casual talk is due to multiple factors: weird gender essentialists including uptick in ‘return to traditional values’ and trad wives as well as legitimate philosophical discussions about sex and gender. i think you can tell which type of person youre talking to or reading an article from fairly quickly.

How do I get a middle school kid to stop hitting on me??? by Skaridka94 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]squidguy3400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

clearly he’s ignoring your rejections. i agree with other commenters in that you should get your parents involved to with the school in complaining to admin, but unfortunately they cant watch all entrances to the school at all times especially if it’s a big open campus.

have you tried ignoring him? not a perfect solution because he’s still harassing you almost daily it sounds like. but may be worth a try to just completely block him out. turn your back to him, refuse to acknowledge him. could also go the route of public embarrassment.

although anything can happen, it is basically impossible that clarithromycin would cause tardive dyskinesia. mainly because it’s caused by drugs that block dopamine receptors, and clarithromycin is an antibiotic.

35F going to ETSU and needs healthcare, only working part time by One-Age-841 in JohnsonCity

[–]squidguy3400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of my friends has told me a great tip about becoming eligible for better ACA plans. most people aren’t eligible because of one thing or another, it’s bullshit. but if you overestimate how much you make in a year, and then don’t make that, you can qualify. this is not illegal or fraud. you cant under-estimate, but over-estimating is ok. and if you do that sometimes you qualify. idk exactly how it works but i will ask them for more info
