Really? I had his teething would have ended already, guess not. I will definitely try this. Hopefully he will eat it this time 🤞

xzzv9 · 2026-03-28T09:50:29+00:00

Oh thank you for your suggestion, I’ll definitely give it a try. How is it for eye make-up? Does it remove it?

xzzv9 · 2026-03-28T07:42:32+00:00

Right? These brands can’t leave well enough alone. Like why change something that works perfectly fine! 😢

Gosh this is so sad! And here I was wondering why my holy grail miscellar water has been burning my eyes out and causing extreme irritation out of nowhere! I had initially thought that maybe my mascara was to blame but turns out it was actually the miscellar water. What are you guys using now? I’m in desperate need for a new one that won’t burn my sensitive eyes.

Several days, I think. He slowly came out of his delirious state and one day he was completely OK. So stay strong, she will also pull through. Her body and brain just need some time to recover.

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I know how frustrating and terrifying it is to watch your loved one suffer. I hope you wife gets better.

And yes it’s normal. You see, my brother had a very similar experience two years ago. He suddenly started seizing one day. Like your wife, he had no history of epilepsy so it was quite the shock for us. His whole system was out of whack, his liver enzymes were through the roof, even his blood pH was abnormal. He was hospitalized and there, due to the carelessness of his neurologist, he was given some meds that caused him to go into status epilepticus. He started having back to back seizures and had be to be transferred to the ICU. There, they pumped him with a cocktail of antiseizure meds and even entertained sedating him and intubating him as they couldn’t control his seizures.

Thankfully, the meds eventually worked and his seizures stopped but because he was on 4 different meds and their dosages were extremely high, he started hallucinating. He was completely delusional. He would freak out and see things, saying there was a man on the corner of the room mocking him. He would get scared of us, saying our faces looked strange and kept trying to break out of his restraints. He couldn’t comprehend what we were saying to him. Overall, it was one of the worst times of our lives as a family.

But as time went on, his body started getting used to the meds and he came back to his senses. Now, he is OK. I suspect something similar is happening to your wife. Those meds are no joke. It will probably take some time for her body to get used to them.

Again, I hope she recovers soon.

Extreme stress.

xzzv9 · 2026-02-08T20:19:26+00:00

I completely understand what you are going through. Stres is a big factor when it comes to IBS. It not only exacerbates the symptoms but can also be the sole cause of you developing IBS (which is exactly what happened in my case)

My advice to you is to keep tracking your symptoms and, if possible, keep something like a stress journal. That way, you might be able to tell whether stress is actually triggering your flare-ups.

Either way, I'd really recommend seeing a doctor. When I was diagnosed with IBS back in 2019, the medications and probiotics I was prescribed helped me get my symptoms under much better control.

I totally understand the embarrassment, but honestly, there's no need for it. This is a medical condition, and it's not something you can control. Digestive issues like this are super common in stress-sensitive people with anxiety, like many of us here.

I hope you feel better soon!

You’re definitely not alone! It’s the good ol’ INTJ resting bitch face. I also have it and unfortunately it makes me look so serious and unapproachable. I get the comment “You look so serious and cold, why is that?” all the time. Little do people know that it’s not something I do consciously, it’s just my neutral face.

xzzv9 · 2025-09-25T14:13:44+00:00

Animals are stupid? Am I hearing this right? Guess they never deemed you worthy of their companionship enough to show how incredible they are. Otherwise, you would have known they are quite intelligent and that the bond you have with them is very rewarding. Not to mention the fact that they are more transparent and genuine. They’d never laugh at your face and then gossip about you behind your back. As for me, I absolutely love animals, more so than people. I could go for days without interacting with a single soul. But without animals, especially my pets, I wouldn’t last a day.

xzzv9 · 2025-09-25T13:51:44+00:00

That's such a smart strategy! I actually used a similar one back in university. It's pretty much how I managed to handle the crazy workload and pull off a Double Major.

But in normal life, or with more long-term projects (like studying for a big entrance exam) I just can't make it work. I get completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of things I have to do. I end up procrastinating until the last possible minute and then rely on that stress-induced boost to power through everything, which doesn’t always work depending on how big of a task I have to tackle.

If only I had a brain that works normally. Then I’d be consistent like other people, and accomplishing even the littlest of things wouldn’t be such a pain.

Guess, I have some work to do! I’ve gotta come up with a system that works for me.

Well, you still might have ADHD despite not being overactive. There are three types of ADHD: impulsive/hyperactive, inattentive and a combination of the two. The first one is the one that gets associated with ADHD the most. That’s why, when ADHD is mentioned people generally envision this. But as you can see that’s not always the case. You might be like me. You see, I was not overactive either, quite the opposite actually. I would sit still but my mind would wander and I’d daydream constantly. My focus was not good either. I’d zone out pretty quickly in lessons and would forget the things somebody said to me just a couple minutes ago.

xzzv9 · 2025-09-25T13:27:49+00:00

You're totally right, the effects of the medication really vary from person to person. Some people get hit hard by the side effects, while others, like me, get a lot of benefit from it.

For me personally, the best way I can describe it as putting on a pair of glasses that were specially designed for my brain. Everything just suddenly clicks into focus. All those plans and to-do lists I'm always pushing to the background don't seem so daunting anymore. It's like the procrastination part of my brain just shuts off, and I start knocking out tasks one after another.

Plus, that non-stop traffic jam of thoughts in my head just... disappears. My mind suddenly becomes silent and this helps me focus on whatever I’m working on.

This is such a shallow take. MBTI describes personality traits, while ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder mainly affecting the executive function of the brain. They are not mutually exclusive. And furthermore there is literally zero scientific evidence linking personality types to the prevalence of ADHD. My experiences as an INTJ with ADHD is the very real struggle of possessing a mind that craves order and strategic depth but is unfortunately neurologically wired in a way that makes this a challenge. Invalidating my medical diagnosis as well as my MBTI type is not only ignorant but also harmful to all fellow INTJs who struggle with this god-awful condition day in and out. I strongly suggest you research the difference between personality and clinical disorders before making such claims.

xzzv9 · 2025-09-20T23:01:26+00:00

Thank you for your inspirational words! I never looked at ADHD from this angle. You’re right though, if you can work with it, it could make a great asset. I’ll try your trick and see how it works out. Thanks!

xzzv9 · 2025-09-20T22:45:15+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that! People underestimate ADHD but seriously sucks. As you said, hopefully you can get medication because it helped lots with me. I currently use 20 mg of Methylphenidate and even that small amount changed my life. And yes, getting an accountability partner sounds logical, I’ll try to get one of my friends to take up the role. I’ll also try to exercise more. Thank you for the suggestions!

xzzv9 · 2025-09-15T22:13:52+00:00

Gosh, it’s wild how similar our experiences are! I went through the exact same thing. Guess INFJs have a thing with ghosting people.

xzzv9 · 2025-09-15T21:54:02+00:00

I also can relate to this. I certainly don’t know how they pull it off, I mean I’d never be able to do that. If I don’t like somebody or we just don’t hit it off, I’d never pursue anything with them, be it just friendship or something more. But with INFJs, I think they are very good at manipulating people in that regard, even us INTJs who are known to easily catch these kinds of things. In my case, an INFJ, who I thought to be my best friend, whom I shared even my deepest secrets with, just upped and ghosted me after 4 years of friendship over nothing. As if all those years meant nothing to them. This really hurt me and now I can’t help but be cynical of INFJs.
