Flare up

I’m having a terrible flare up over the past 2 days and can’t stop it. My nose is constantly running and the urge to sneeze won’t stop. I’ve tried to stop blowing it but then it just pours of my nose no matter what I do. It’s slowed down a bit since yesterday but I can’t even go into a store without sneezing or using tissues. Any advice? I can’t take much allergy medications because I have heart arrhythmias and palpitations. I’ve tried Zyrtec, Claritin, Nasacort etc and they all sent me into SVT. Benadryl is the only thing that seems to help but it hasn’t at all.

Looking for a new series to binge

Some movies and shows I loved are voicemails for Isabelle, my fault&your fault London, the vampire diaries, forever my girl, one tree hill, the summer I turned pretty, good girls, the beast in me, early seasons of outlander etc. any suggestions would be appreciated! It bothers me to watch shows that are badly dubbed so I’d rather stick with English. I watched off campus and liked it but not enough to rewatch. Thank you

I loved voicemails for isabelle, your fault&my fault london, Purple Hearts, forever my girl, pride and prejudice, After series, 27 dresses, crazy rich asians etc. a lot of the movies that look good are in another language and I can’t stand bad dubbing so I’d rather stick with English.

Intrusive thoughts

I’ve been having horrible intrusive thoughts and anxiety for the past couple of years. The thoughts are always about my mom and when I was in therapy I was told it’s the opposite of what I feel and also fears of things I don’t want to happen. I got them to stop a couple of years ago but now they’ve been back for a long time. Most of the thoughts are really bad and things I know I definitely don’t mean but I still feel guilty for even thinking it in the first place. And I’m not meaning to think it, I’ll just be in the middle of something and the it pops up. Then I get this horrible fight or flight nauseating feeling. I lose my appetite, sweat, my heart races and I feel like I’m going to throw up. I can’t do anything until I address the thought and figure out if I meant it or not. I’ve created this loop where every time I get that I have to tell my mom, almost like I have to confess or else it won’t go away. I’ve been trying to break that but it’s so hard because the only time I get relief from it is when she tells me it’s okay and that it’s not real.
What I’m getting now is more so “feelings” rather than thoughts. I don’t know if that makes sense but I’ll get a bad feeling and then I can’t tell if I actually felt that way. I can’t calm down until I find out if it was real because if it is then I feel like I’m a bad person. I’m best friends with my mom so the guilt is horrible because I feel like a good person wouldn’t have bad thoughts about someone they love. Every time I have this I’ve realized eventually that it’s not real, but it’s still just the fact I had it in the first place. I think about it for days until sometime later I’ll forget about it then it comes back. Do any of you have anything like this or have any advice? I’m getting back into therapy but it’s so hard to make this stop. I’ve gotten them to go away before so I know I can do this without medication and I really don’t want to take anything.

Voicemails for Isabelle

This movie was so amazing, I've already rewatched it twice. My only complaint is that some of the comedy felt slapstick and forced, like the scenes with Lukas Gage etc. Did anyone else feel this way?

EDIT: No idea why people keep commenting that I’m a bot. Just posting my opinion about the movie.

Scandal ending

What's everyone's thoughts on the ending? To this day I'm still so confused. I wish that it wasn't left to our interpretation and we got answers. I like to think that Olivia and Fitz ended up in Vermont but I can't figure out what the painting of Olivia was. Was that in the future and did she become the president? Or was she just that powerful? I wish Shonda Rhimes would just tell us

Long term Benadryl use

I’ve been taking Benadryl for about 10 years due to severe allergies. I have tried allergy medications and pills but the only thing that has worked is Benadryl. The doctor told me to just stay on Benadryl, so I did. I take about 25mg daily or sometimes I break the pill in half if I’m not having as bad of an allergy day.

I’ve talked to my pharmacist about this and they told me it’s fine to stay on.

When I first started taking Benadryl I got horrible intrusive thoughts and anxiety. I got them to go away a few years ago and now they’ve been back for the past 3 years. I thought that they were just from stress but I randomly got a thought that what if it was from Benadryl. I started googling and realized lots of other people have extreme anxiety from taking it and also severe withdrawal symptoms when they stop taking it. Someone even said it’s as bad as benzo withdrawals and taking Benadryl for years can change your brain chemistry. Has anyone had this before or any advice on how to get off of it?

Long COVID sinus inflammation

Has anyone else had really bad sinus problems after covid that never went away?

I had allergies before getting covid 6 years ago but now with long covid it's completely inflamed everything. I constantly have a runny nose, post-nasal drip, congestion, sinus pressure, sinus infection symptoms, facial pain and nonstop sneezing.
It's gotten to the point where it wakes me up at night because my nose is dripping or | start sneezing. I have severe costochondritis from it. I've tried Flonase, Nasacort, Claritin, Zyrtec, and other allergy medications. Benadryl is the only thing that seems to help a little.

I have heart arrhythmias and palpitations so the allergy meds just caused me to have SVT and constant pvcs. I was looking at trying the nasal spray Astepro but I keep hearing it has weird side effects.
I'm working on getting in with an ENT, but I wanted to see if anyone else has gone through anything like this If so, has anything helped?

Astepro experiences?

Has anyone tried Astepro? I’m thinking about trying it and wanted to see what people’s experiences were.
I have really bad daily allergies/nasal inflammation from Long COVID and sneeze constantly. I also have heart arrhythmias and palpitations, so finding allergy meds that don’t mess with my heart has been a nightmare.

I’ve tried Flonase, Nasacort, Claritin, Zyrtec, and a bunch of others. Flonase didn’t do anything for me, and some of the others seemed to trigger SVT, and palpitations. Benadryl is pretty much the only thing that helps my nose.
Since Astepro is steroid-free, I thought it might be easier on my heart. Has anyone had any weird side effects from it or how did it work?
