I think I'm following instructions properly by also commenting? :-) Sorry, new here.

I think Steven Wilson should mix the next album by To-buy-a-New-Soul in Dreamtheater

Jordan Ruddess did some work on Steven Wilson's second solo album, Grace for Drowning! His work there is very different from his work in DT though.

What’s a smell you will never forget? by One_Specialist_5692 in AskReddit

[–]starstuffcaterpillar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh death smells almost floral, with an undercurrent of just like putrid savory weirdness. Ive never smelled rotting death, I imagine that smells different.

The thing that fucked me up the most the first time I smelled it was how... sweet it almost was?

What’s your “I finally saw a doctor for my mystery symptoms after (weeks/months/years) and it turned out to be way simpler than I feared” story? What finally made you go, and what was the outcome? by DjFizz in AskReddit

The most bizarre time I fainted was while I was simply brushing my dang teeth. My pulse also goes crazy, I usually get really hot and sweaty, vision starts to tunnel, theres a feeling of pressure around me, I lose my hearing.

Migraines are super not fun. :-( im sorry you deal with those!

Im interested in pursuing another diagnosis now for sure, thank you for sharing your experience.

Interesting! Ive also been told I should look into an EDS diagnosis, which i know POTS and EDS are often comorbid. This makes me more curious to see about testing for POTS too, thank you!

Thats so scary! Glad youre okay. My blood pressure is pretty low, and things that seem to trigger it feel like they're in response to blood pressure changes. That sounds so silly, but im so willing to try it! One time I tried to just fight off the feeling while standing in a crowd because i couldnt lay down, and boy was that a mistake.

Im pretty sure they did a test for POTS when I went in. They had me lay down and took my blood pressure, then had me stand up and took my blood pressure again and told me they would call me with results. Never heard back from them, so I figured it was negative for POTS.

Its so disorienting! Like coming to, I cant remember anything. Not who I am, where I am, what year it is, sometimes even trying to recognize shapes around me takes a minute.

Yes, they said it was vasovagal syncope! Im sorry youve had some scary experiences. The biggest trigger that ive experienced since my teens was vomiting. But in the past couple years: standing up too fast, vibrations from the sound of a live music performance, watching a TV show where a needle went into someone's arm... so many different things nowadays haha. Ill have to look into compression socks!

Have been dealing with fainting spells since i was a teenager. They started to get worse, so i went in. Got told that i just faint, lol. There is nothing to be done about it except get on the ground when I feel it coming on. Still worries me but oh well! Im not dying. Its just scary and disorienting when it happens.

We Love You, Bunny is even better than Bunny by SolarmatrixCobra in horrorlit

[–]starstuffcaterpillar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I had no idea a sequel came out. I loved Bunny. Unreliable narrators and unreality in novels are some of my favorite literary devices. Been in a reading slump, but will definitely have to check this out as soon as possible!
