Random coincidence

So this is just a random thing but if anyone remembered the episode “how to get away with murder” and I think either Stevie or jack says they’d start a fake livestream on twitch and pretend to answer the chat and thank people for subs whilst they go out and murder someone, well that exact story actually happened
Stephen Mccullagh is the murderer, ICMAP just covered it actually, crazy

POTS and eating disorders

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had any advice. I have diagnosed pots but I also struggle badly with body dysmorphia and a long on and off history with anorexia

I know that less food is a recipe for disaster with pots, I know I need to stop. But I don’t know how to stop

Has anyone had experience similar to this?

Thanks

So I’ve just come across some YouTube channels dedicated to exposing Stuart Michael and found it interesting

There’s a load of videos showing that Stuart Michael basically definitely researches the people that come to his shows beforehand, I know we sort of know this already but pretty insane to watch, what an utter cock. Sorry I know this video is a bit all over the place

Adrenaline dumps

I need some advice if anyone knows

I’ve started getting a reaction to stressful situations where I get terrible chest pain, tip of shoulder pain, heart going all over the place, sometimes blacking out completely, losing my sight and hearing, wanting to vomit and poop myself at the same time, extreme body temperature changes and sweating, tremors, crackly feelings in my chest

Ive presented to a&e five times now because of them, thinking i was having a HA

Every single time my ecgs have been normal and my troponum levels are completely normal

I’ve been sent home afterwards and been told it’s probably my anxiety, then I get better over the next few days

But my panic attacks just are not like this, at all

I’ve been looking into adrenaline dumps with pots (I’m diagnosed) and it seems like this could be it, or pre-syncope

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Trying to work out what’s going on with my body but the doctors just don’t know, I’ve had every blood test, ecg, xray etc under the sun and my health is completely normal

(I have bad health anxiety so please don’t scare me lol)

Anyone else have really bad heart pain with Ivabradine ?

My cardiologist kept saying that it probably won’t be a side-effect of the pills, but it only ever happened when I took them. he told me to keep taking them because they will help but every time I kept taking them the pain got worse along with a feeling of impending doom, I’m not taking them anymore and I feel so much better. It’s annoying because they helped so much for my heart rate but the pain was so intense. Did anyone else experience that?

Starting tonight, any advice?

My health anxiety is ruining my life, so I’ve had to start SSRIs again in the hopes it will help. I was on citalopram for 5 years, tried sertraline once but couldn’t get through the adjusting period. I’ve been prescribed 50mg but I’m really sensitive to medication changes so I want to split them, I’m about to check if they have a line in the middle to see if I can. Any advice is appreciated

SKIN IMPROVEMENT

Pic 1: Jan 1st, pic 2: May 1st, pic 3 and 4: now, (In the first picture I have makeup on hence that you can’t see the colour) but around the first picture I was trying retinol on my KPRF and experiencing the purge, my skin reacted really badly to it so I just stopped, didn’t want to continue through it. For the past 2 months I’ve been getting IPL for my redness and for the past 3 weeks I’ve been using azaleic acid and smoothkp for the texture, then cicaplast on top overnight. It’s working wonders. My azaleic acid is the boots own brand (black and white packaging), and it’s transformed my skin. I only use it twice a week and smoothkp twice a week too, on different days of course, and I only ever apply in the evening then sleep in it.

What is West Drayton like?

Looking to move to a quiet safe area, been looking at West Drayton, Ealing, Richmond/ Surbiton and similar areas West/SW as I’ll need to be as West as I can and go to Bristol every now and again, can anyone tell me what these places are like? It’s just me moving. I’ve heard not great things about Southall and Hounslow so don’t want to live there, are these areas similar to that? I want to live in a nice quiet area but fear I’m struggling to find one. For context I used to live in Shadwell and I fucking hated it so looking for anything opposite to that. Thanks (I can’t change the heading of this post but don’t worry about west Drayton, definitely don’t want that haha)

A message to any learners with learning difficulties / disabilities

So I am physically and mentally disabled. Because of this I thought I would never pass my driving test. I have POTS which makes everything and every day feel horrible/impossible and my ADHD especially makes it extremely hard to process things quickly and concentrate on many things at once. In all of my driving lessons I struggled so much and always made mistakes no matter how many lessons I had. After every lesson I would cry and break down and a week ago I half decided to give up, after I had a painful meltdown on one of my lessons, caused by a kid deciding to scream into my window whilst parked to scare me.

My driving instructor recently told me to cancel my test and said she wasn’t comfortable with me doing my test in her car (because she thought I would fail and it would make her look bad)

Well I just passed. With only 2 minors. And only 16 hours of lessons. So this message is to say: STUFF ANYONE WHO SAYS YOU CANT DO SOMETHING!!! I did so incredibly well and better than I’ve ever been on my lessons and whilst driving privately with my mum, sometimes I get so bogged down about feeling like I can’t do anything that I forget that being neurodivergent means that whilst we struggle living in a world that’s not built for brains like ours, were also really intelligent!

You CAN do it, it IS possible, and I proved this myself when I thought I wouldn’t even be able to. Keep going.

I’m disabled, are there any places I could live in that won’t be a complete hellscape

My sensory issues mean I can’t deal with noise very well, so I ideally need somewhere quiet and calm, I’ve lived in many places in London before that haven’t been that at all but I made it through, I just want to start actually living happily

Specific advice needed

Would anyone be able to tell me names of areas that are west/drivable to Bristol/near the M4 but also quite nice areas? I’ve been looking at Hayes but I’m not sure what areas are safe and well-kept, willing to pay more for a nicer area. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
