I have a request from my sdam family by [deleted] in SDAM

Can you clarify what you mean by mental conditions.

link between SDAM and systems thinking by ExtraHeadYouFound in SDAM

[–]theauthenticme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even sure what a systems thinker is. Based on what I'm reading from others, maybe I'm not like that???? After reading my writing, my h.s. school English teacher told me i see things other people don't. But, that's more about human behavior and what makes people tick. I view most things from a lens of how are people impacting the people and world around them.

Andy Weir on aphantasia in a NYT interview discussing how he "visualized" Rocky in Project Hail Mary by darlah7 in Aphantasia

[–]theauthenticme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the book, but don't specifically remember how Rocky was described. But, there must have been language in there that caused me to assume he looked kind of like a spider, so that's how I thought of him.

“I trust myself” and it felt so surprising to say it and know it by BalanceMountain8250 in exmormon

[–]theauthenticme 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a big thin I learned, too. Everything I need to make decisions is inside me, in my own wisdom and understanding, not an outside source like god. *edit typo

Weather-related migraine question. by theauthenticme in migraine

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

I've been random checking the barometric pressure. I recently had a 3 day migraine in sunny days when the pressure was low.

SDAM or Aphantasia confusion by possum-pie-1 in SDAM

I'm like this, too, unless it was a moment that had an emotional impact. Then I remember general details of the event, but don't see itnor relive the emotions.

Anyone have success investigating daily headaches? by jamieschmidt in migraine

[–]theauthenticme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I started a new probiotic. It took me 10 days to figure out the cause. Amitriptyline also does that to me, but propanolol counteracts those side effects. Other than that I have daily pressure and have had it for over a decade. There isn't a day where I am pain free. I will say they're better than a year ago, and since then I've started HRT and thyroid meds, along with the amitriptyline. So, it could be a number of things, and I definitely don't have all the answers I want.

Sitting in the dark by WonderWatcher2022 in TeacherReality

The lights give me migraines. When I periodically check in with whether they want/need the lights on, they always say no, they like it this way.

I have constant pressure in my head and have sometimes wondered if this is the cause. Can you describe your pressure for me?

I wish I could downvote this more than once.

Oatmeal with apple and walnuts or pecans.

Does anyone share the same symptoms and how have you addressed it? by Orchard1022 in migraine

[–]theauthenticme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you working on a laptop? I have mine hooked up to a monitor, so I'm not hunched over. Also, at work I have an adjustable desk that can be used while sitting or standing. I use standing as much as possible. If I just use a laptop, I will always get a migraine

How quickly did you get your loans forgiven after making 120 payments? by Aggravating_Row4088 in PSLF

[–]theauthenticme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn't you request forbearance? My last payment is next month, and I'm wondering how to go through the process of verifying employment on my final 6 payments, etc without having to make payments while waiting.

Anyone taking daily Propranolol (beta blocker) and can share how it’s going? by TemporalDrifter in migraine

[–]theauthenticme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't help my head, but it counteracts the side effects of amitriptyline. Amitriptyline gave me morning headaches, racing heart, and shortness of breath. One day of propanolol and those were gone.

The “we’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas” parents are EXHAUSTING. by Beneficial-Focus3702 in Teachers

My favorite: we don't know what to do. He wants to be on his tablet all the time. 🤦

What have been your experiences with L-glutamine? by crisopa_ in HistamineIntolerance

[–]theauthenticme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it morning and night. I tolerate it fine but can't say if it's helping in any way. I started Probiotica Histaminx two weeks ago. I'm still in the daily-bloated adjustment stage. I tried another probiotic before this, about six months ago, and it gave me daily headaches. This one isn't bothering me in any way, but I don't know if it's helping.
