very often, but most of the time from the nausea. a few years ago i had a cyclic vomiting-like thing going on, every 3 months exact id wake up at 4am with a migraine and throw up every hour until it decided to stop. the longest it ever went on was about 20 times in a 24 hour period 🥲 the only thing that really helps my nausea is ginger, i get these candies from amazon, i think the brand is tummy drops, they have a bunch of different flavors. its not 100% of course but ill take any relief i can get. they have higher intensity ones that have that hurting feeling, and those kind of help distract from the pain as a bonus lol

wanted to add in i am currently being investigated for ehlers danlos, which causes loose joints and i noticed its alot worse right before my period and after i googled it lol i found some sources say that progesterone has an loosening effect (or affect idfk) on collagen and therefore joint laxity. im assuming this is true even for non hypermobile people as well!!

fancy meeting you here

chicken nugget

adding to this that theyre not free when not scheduled, just 15 minutes before and after youre scheduled. im sure some managers are fine w it but we had a whole thing a year or two ago bc two associates got icees off the clock and all but got fired for it 😭 they only got off the hook bc they were two of our best employees but if they werent they wouldve been fired

my dr just uploaded a scan of the ekg itself, here it is: ekg 

i see unfortunately he only showed me it briefly so i dont have it to share :/ thank you anyways!

considering what ive seen trainees do sometimes i think they may even be lacking

Ive had this plant for less than a day, and therefore havent begun to set up its area in my room, nor have i watered it yet. in the store it was included on a big metal moveable rack with other plants, in indirect sunlight, though probably had been moved around quite a bit.

i saw on another reply you said you’re starting at 5mg, it could be bc of the dosage you’re starting on. my psych had me start at 2mg (i don’t take it anymore but) i don’t remember having any deterring side effects at first. the first few nights i took it i woke up the next day with so much energy and ready to face the day lmfao. so maybe ask your psych about starting at 2mg instead, or if you should take it with/ without food, at another time, etc. best of luck my friend!!

as everyone else said derealization/depersonalization lol. you’re definitely not alone and there are a few different options for treatment (though on the meds side no specific ones for dpdr, but some can help (mostly anxiety meds +my psych had me try lamictal for it, which helped but i couldn’t stay with it for too long due to a reaction)). it’s mostly anxiety or trauma based though it can also be caused/ worsened by drugs. i’ve had it generally for about 6 years and constantly/ everyday for about 7 months– i mainly experienced derealization but recently notice more depersonalization too. there are good and bad days and if it lasts a while you can figure out what things make it worse and better. for example, certain weather makes it worse for me (usually bright clear blue skies or very cloudy) bc the sky looks fake and flat lol, but talking to other people helps me feel more real. one of the biggest tips people say is to not overthink about ignoring it, just let it sit with you during your day. the usual anxiety grounding tips help for some people but they might not for you (they don’t help me personally). sorry for the long winded response lol but tldr it sucks but you’re most definitely not alone in your experiences! <3

your mom

got a notification for this post as i was picking at a scratch on my hand lol

so true i worded it wrong my bad lol

i also happen to have a slight sneaking suspicion that perhaps you may or may not in fact (slim chance) have these feelings. just a thought <3

yes i’m definitely going to go to both lol. i think GI first and if everything digestively is fine i might ask him about the possibility of endo causing the problem. also glad you mentioned diaphragm endo bc if it’s not gallbladder/ digestive related i suspect thats the most likely. thank you for your help !!

i dont think its triggered by what i eat but i often forget what ive ate in a day lol so im not 100% sure. it did start the day after thanksgiving (i ate a l o t) but its been constant since then so im not sure if it was really because of the food. i was thinking it was either gallbladder or diaphragm endo bc both have pain in the shoulder too. ill def go to the gi doc and ask for a HIDA though! thank you so much :)

filling out questionnaires, untangling jewelry, organizing files or papers irl or on a computer are all so satisfying to me
