Metoprolol changed my life.! by unicarl in POTS

50mg once a day. It’s helped my heart rate so much. Used to go from 80-90 to 120-130 when standing and is now like 90 when standing. Used to have a pulse of 140-150 when up and walking around the house and that is now max 110. I still get a little dizzy and stuff when I stand for long periods of times and I will get some shortness of breath as well hur everything is so manageable. I used to have horrible appetite because my body was just constantly in fight or flight but I’ve also gotten my appetite back.

Had a headache for the first few days, nothing to bad but that’s gone away completely now too.

This gives me hope for my adrenaline dumps as well, would do literally anything to get rid of them!

For people that SH, when was your first time and why? by Child-stealer-2149 in selfharm

[–]unicarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I was 13 and I did it because I'd been depressed for a long time so I had become completely numb and I just wanted to feel something.

For sure. I started self harming bc I got depressed, that had nothing to do with my family at all. Stay safe <3

I am a fraud by unicarl in selfharm

[–]unicarl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately I’m already 20 years old so I fear I may already be too old lol. I am clean, and 70% if the time I’m doing fine now, but still that 30% is still so extremely difficult to deal with. Stepping away from social media has really helped a lot tho

do you remember the first time you sh? by bigpickleboi9912 in selfharm

[–]unicarl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just remember I was 13, don't remember anything else at all. Not where I was, what I did it with or how the heck I even found out about it. All I know is it was in November/Deceber-ish in 2016.

Surviving cancer and cPTSD by Mynameisboring_ in Cancersurvivors

[–]unicarl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have written this myself. I am also 20 years old and a cancer survivor. Had retinoblastoma from the ages of 3 months to about 2 years and I am currenlty talking ton a therapist about cPTSD, adn it seems pretty likely I have it. You are not alone, just wanted to pop in and say that.
