What non-life threatening conditions can cause this? (ALREADY WENT TO ER YESTERDAY)

26F. About 230 5’4” nicotine vape while taking oral contraceptives (found out in ER that increases my risk of blood clots / stroke goes up bc of that! Not through my gynecologist. Planning on quitting as soon as i run out of my pack) not pregnant started taking Provigil again after a week the day this happened. Was wearing contacts and messing with contacts after touching some perfumes and flowers @ trader joes right before this happened. Eye was “lagging” and not cooperating, drooping, and blown pupil. Took contacts out immediately, then i went home, put my glasses in, and wore my glasses. Lasted about 1.5 hours before resolving itself when i took my glasses off and scrolled with my phone close to my face. Sort of had a headache behind the eye that was blown. But it wasn’t throbbing it was quite mild. Went to ER was given a full CT scan no brain bleeds or clots or anything abnormal. Diagnosed with migraines. Doesn’t really make sense to me considering i dont really get migraines, just throbbing headaches that are really painful. The headache i got afterwards wasn’t a throbbing headache though it was very dull/mild. so i have to follow up with my PCP but i dont really have insurance as of 5 days ago. :/ just wondering if i have to keep worrying about this, what could cause it, etc.. its the first and only time this has ever happened to me. I take a handful of mental health medications as well like Vraylar, Venlafaxine, Gabapentin, etc. lmk if you need a full list. Wondering if allergens on my finger caused it bc i get seasonal allergies in the spring/summer. Diagnosed with hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome in 2019. Both parents are adopted so unfortunately dont know much about my health history but i have bits and pieces. Appreciate anyone who has seen this before that wasn’t caused by something life threatening.

Avant-Apocalyptic Winter?

im getting frozen/snowy vibes from these outfits. Leaning into the white/silver/baby blue color scheme but with an avant-apocalypse twist to the scheme. What would we call this?

Age Regression Unusual Sensory Perceptions?

NOT THE FETISH/KINK. Does anyone get randomly sucked into a random age you’ve already been? Like certain smells and weather types trigger me to “mentally regress” to any age, even ones in adulthood. I’m about 26 now and I’ve been having this symptom since childhood. Never ages young enough to need a pacifier like i see the typical online community built around this concept. It literally FEELS like i’ve time traveled for a few blissful seconds. Which is another discernment from the online community— its just a few seconds long. Leaves my head spinning sometimes. But I do randomly age regress to like when i was 22/23 and I’m like 😭 what in tarnation…

Anyone else’s partner cycle through hobbies every few weeks? (Autism + bipolar 2)

My girlfriend is very creative and has many hobbies. She is diagnosed with bipolar 2, autism spectrum disorder & recently ADHD so this contributes I think to the intense fixation on her hobbies. However, her mind moves from hobby to hobby within weeks & it makes it impossible for her to finish projects. She then beats herself up over not being able to go back to something once her mind has moved on from it. I feel horrible when this happens!

I have been (silently) waiting for her to pick tapestry crocheting back up because she said she would make me my favorite album as it’s only 2 colors and a really simple design haha! :}

Anyone else have a partner oscillating between hobbies and interests wildly every few weeks? :) I find it very endearing, and her mom who has the same two diagnosis’ does the same thing!! I often wonder if its because of bipolar or perhaps a learned behavior from family?

does how you dress inspire your art?

If you’re someone who is creative in spite of this disorder, or because of it, do you create art that reflects how you dress yourself? im curious because I am always making jewelry based off the strict color scheme I adhere to myself— browns, olives, and beiges. Similar themes in my art to how I dress myself as well. I wear clothes I make myself that I put bugs on. I also have lots of bug beads I include in my jewelry pieces. Same with spirals— I have lots of spiral beads and wear lots of spirals on my clothes.

Anyone else use similar color schemes or themes and motifs in their art as their wardrobe?

Word/Letter Hallucinations

Does anyone else hallucinate(?????) words/letters? I will be reading a word in context of the sentence it exists in and I will STARE at the word, while it remains intact and normal. I look away for a second and revisit the word, BOOM. It’s a COMPLETELY different word. One that makes sense in the sentence I was reading no less. It bothers me so much and makes reading and writing kinda hard. : (

When I was younger it was chalked up to hyperlexia. I know it isn’t dyslexia. I do not process words slowly when I read, I am quite a quick reader.

Anyone else experience this? 😵‍💫🙃
