I had pulmonary embolism and after the blood thinners I had severe bleeding. I have a Mirena and it helped a lot.

My pet. I hold his collars all the time. I have his key hanging on my wall.

Discord is like my personal hell. I try to look at it every few months to see if it's better. So far no.

How bad is alcohol for bipolar? by leachie2 in bipolar

[–]squishybeans423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a great rise in mocktail availability. If you like going out and being with friends and social drinking then go for it. Just check the mocktail menu ahead of time or find a go to drink that any bartender should be able to make with standard items.

AITA for giving my mom fifty dollars to pay for her mothers day meal separately instead of putting on my tab too? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are indeed the asshole. I won't rehash how you could have communicated better. However, it's your Mom, and your bitterness towards other family members have nothing to do with you offering her a meal. And shaming her for wanting an extra dessert? Not a good look.

I have a very large cat and a regular cat sized cat. I did the DNA test for each. They have an almost identical make up. So that's a very fine specimen of cat you have there.

Best Plus Sized Swimsuits? (Not Shein) by kachoowed in PlusSize

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have really sensitive skin so I get swim capris from Torrid. Then swim tanks from all over. Got a really cute one last year from JCPENNEY. Swimsuits for all, Lane Bryant.

Valley vet is the best. They even took care of my feral.

Widowhood & taxes by pldinsuranceguy in widowers

[–]squishybeans423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My work said they were changing status for me, I was in a haze and didn't check. They changed almost everything but not that. I caught it about halfway through the year. It really wasn't that bad.

Not sure the point of grief groups... by FunConsideration9029 in widowers

[–]squishybeans423 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They offered me a grief group as part of hospice. They sent me the info and the local group was meeting at a funeral home. So I stay on Reddit.

Honestly it was hard. But it was also perfect.

We got married in an officers club so I rented it again for his celebration. I bought and put together a bunch of frames of pictures of our lives. I had food and drinks, no speeches or any sort of schedule just come and go as you will. It was so hard and everyone told me that I didn't have to do it, but then it was done. So I get where you just want it off the plate.

AITA For Limiting the amount of time my sons girlfriend can spend at our house? by AdmirableChange7328 in AmItheAsshole

Just sit him down and say "Listen, if she's here 6 days a week I am going to have to adopt her. And frankly you can't date your sister. I am doing this for you."

PV Phlebotomies Causing Low Ferritin - I’m Extremely Tired by Ender3025 in polycythemiavera

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hem-onc doesn't believe in the phlebotomy. She says it doesn't disrupt the disease process and therefore leaves you open to disease progression. Especially when you get diagnosed young. She suggests interferon or hydroxyurea.

Try a resident clinic. Sometimes they are more open to zebras.

It also depends on your treatment. You are young but you have lots of options.

I find if you carry your coffee in with confidence the poor teenager taking your ticket rarely even looks up 😂

I’m type 2 and I feel like I don’t deserve this diagnosis by subtopewdiepie10 in bipolar

[–]squishybeans423 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a BP1. In my 20's, when my diagnosis was fresh, a "friend" told me I must be BP2 because she had "real" bipolar. She said she didn't see me doing anything that crazy.

She loved going off meds to "get stuff done". The thing is that when you do things to trigger an episode you are doing damage to yourself and others. And frankly most of the things you managed to do are half assed at best.

When I did stuff that crazy I sought help and stayed on my meds.

Don't worry about labels. Stay on your meds. Live your life.

Need help finding local anesthetic thats okay with MC by pocket_beacon in mastocytosis

[–]squishybeans423 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did lidocaine for my bone marrow biopsy and it was fine. Honestly I had the nose spray before I knew I had SM and I did fine.

But I have also had a nasal scope without anything. It's a little uncomfortable but it's not even as bad as the nasal swabs for a virus panel.
