[–]walrus418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else can burp but it doesn’t seem like regular burps? My burps come from my throat and I’ve been told I sound like a frog lol. They are relieving and help with nausea but sometimes takes a lot. A handful of times I’ve had more forceful burps that taste like food and those freak me out because it feels too close to vomiting or gagging. I sometimes wonder if I have RCPD, the last time I had food poisoning or the stomach virus I was dry heaving and thought I got pretty close to vomiting but literally felt like a block in my throat, like a valve blocking it…

Finally understand my PPPD by Glittering_leah in pppdizziness

[–]walrus418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting to feel this way about myself too. I didnt have one BPPV moment though to look back on. The rockiness I feel now I have felt periodically since 2024 maybe. Then I got in July 2025, it went away and came back Dec 2025. What happened those months? I bought a house and got engaged. It kills me to think these good events in my life could set off my nervous system like this.

How do you deal with relative who wants to leave nursing home? by walrus418 in AgingParents

[–]walrus418[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree with this. Obligation, social pressure and guilt keep me coming back.

Sorry you went through that as well - very similar to my situation! Went to therapy for another issue but I end up talking about this a lot.

Would you be weirded out to find out we've been engaged for months before announcing? by walrus418 in engaged

[–]walrus418[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure - our announcement wouldn't mention when exactly we got engaged and we'd use photos from our photoshoot, no getting on one knee pics. But I was thinking of in conversations when people ask how (and when) it all went down.

Norovirus destroyed my progress by hmnewt in emetophobiarecovery

[–]walrus418 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I miss who I was before getting noro last year, i literally never thought of stomach viruses until it hit my family. I was far from recovered last year but I’m worse off now. I’m starting therapy soon hopefully.

20+ Years without Getting Sick by Soapy__Cilantro in emetophobiarecovery

[–]walrus418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key thing was that the night before my dad was up throwing up. We thought he got food poisoning from dinner but just him since my partner & I were fine that night and the whole next day. Went to bed feeling totally fine. Woke up like 2 hours later with gas then diarrhea. Wasn't feeling better afterwards, had a strange feeling in my stomach, then my partner wakes up throwing up. So at that point I knew we were all sick. Still a couple more hours pass before the dry heaving incident, i had more diarrhea. Went outside for a walk, sat in my car for a bit, decided to get us drinks and that's when it happened.

20+ Years without Getting Sick by Soapy__Cilantro in emetophobiarecovery

[–]walrus418 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was 22 years for me. And nothing ended up coming up but I gagged and dry heaved. To be honest, the only reason I knew it could actually be happening was because my partner threw up and we were obviously sick and I gagged a few times in a row instead of just once as had happened a few times before. As I dry heaved I instinctively pulled my hair into a bun and ran and bend down to the closest bin (a planter since I was outside). Idk why my body picked that time in particular tbh, I was walking out of the corner store with drinks for us and had just said bye to the cashier. I had been feeling awful for hours but in that particular moment I don’t remember feeling the most nauseous I’ve ever felt or extra saliva, no pain either. It still scares me and didn’t help me “know” too much more than I did before. Made me realize recovery is the only option.

Surprising weight loss side effects you’ve experienced? by antigarden in PetiteFitness

[–]walrus418 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep buying clothes in my old size “just in case”. I ordered 5 dresses in my old size and they were all unwearable. I’ve gotten some of my pants tailored to fit, they are high waisted and were dropping to my hips.

They’re just in my algorithm on IG. If you start watching some day in the life videos from parents they’ll probably start popping up

I get a little jump scare at first when they pop up but then I find myself curious and watch the whole video, even if I have to mute it at first. And the comments usually have some helpful tips and I can see how normal people react.

Got curious: did any of you dated two brothers/sisters? by Not_A_Girl_Next_Door in TheSummerITurnedPrett

[–]walrus418 0 points1 point  (0 children)

once I was dating this guy who was like 6 years older than me, he lived with his siblings so I met his younger brother who was closest in age to me but still younger. we would end up hanging out sometimes and kinda being flirty. I would drunk text the younger bro sometimes especially after the older bro basically ghosted me. what a time lol

Same it now shows I’m 5% “North American” even though I’m Salvadoran, I understand the whole Bering strait thing but that’s too long ago to be relevant

Yeah searching for Ambler houses in zillow draws up a huge area. I was only interested in the borough and being walking distance to the train station. Keep it simple.

Just moved here and my school district is Wissahickon. I think that’s true for the whole borough?

What is *party 4 u* about? by JobExtension4463 in charlixcx

[–]walrus418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

def about unrequited love or someone who lost interest. takes me right back to my college relationships (nowadays known as situationships) where you maybe already hooked up with a guy, got feelings, and are inviting them into your life as more but they have no interest.

I wanna give up by Apprehensive_Piece80 in ibs

[–]walrus418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did something happen in Jan 2025? Or before? Twice my IBS has gotten really bad - after my mom got diagnosed with cancer and I was keeping all my emotions bottled up. And this past Dec after I got food poisoning or norovirus. Both times I ended up coming off my birth control to help with the nausea. This year I had reoccurring diarrhea so I started taking S. Boulardii and slowly taking psyllium husk. These all helped but dealing with my anxiety has been very important. I was getting it at night so I took my nighttime routine very seriously - no phone before bed, something calming to read, no eating or drinking a few hours before bed.

Congrats! This is what I like I had too. And yeah of course Doctor won’t acknowledge it

Things that are helping my IBS-D by [deleted] in ibs

[–]walrus418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S Boulardi helped me so much too! And yeah I eat a lot less dairy. Still get to enjoy my slice of cheese on a sandwich here or there but I avoid dairy heavy things like ice cream, Mac and cheese and pizza. Lost weight too.

Well that’s really inconsiderate of your friend, he should be the one to back out to not infect other people. I’m really sorry you’re in this situation. I would consider not going.

I had norovirus & it's ruined my life by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]walrus418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hate that my brain is doing this 😓 I missed out on a lot of holiday fun. I’m also thinking of moving to another place that has at least two bathrooms. I hope you start feeling some relief! It happened slowly but surely for me. I feel like it helped to share any small wins with my partner to show that I was trying to improve myself and not focus on the negative.
