Reddit Awards - What do They Each Mean?

Obviously the heart means “love this” and the popcorn is “watching the fallout from this,” but what about some of the others? Like the snake?

I’ve searched this subreddit and google and couldn’t find an explanation of each award.

Longer Term Stress and Extreme Fatigue

My father died unexpectedly three months ago. I triple-dosed my steroids for a week and capped it off with a solu-cortef injection on the advice of my endocrinologist.

I have been taking my normal dose (17.5mg HC) since then.

I know grief causes fatigue. And stress on an AI patient also causes fatigue. But I’m sleeping twelve hours per night and still struggling to get out of my recliner during the day.

I’ve had better days, but even on my best day the most I was able to do was get myself to a doctor’s appointment.

It has been worse since Mother’s Day. I went to church with my stepmother, the first time I’ve been back since the funeral. The whole day was extremely draining.

Has anyone else had a longer term stress situation, and how did you handle it?

I do plan to call my endocrinologist Monday, but I’d like an idea on what to ask for.
