i still have to paint its face haha, a very easy craft i might say, just dont stick your own fingers with superglue pls lmao
I'll take care of this lil buddy while i get to build a terrarium :3
well I have POTS, when i stand up still i can go up to 135bpm (the max I've registered). Walking is okay and standing up for short times or while being in movement isn't that bad and sometimes i barely notice it.
I'm also kinda dependent on caffeine, i drink 2 or 3 coffees a day, or sometimes i drink a monster. Coffee doesn't make my POTS worse, it even improves it. The thing is with an energy drink like Monster, as its too much caffeine in a short amount of time i obviously get tachycardias like anyone else, but those tachycardias feel different than POTS.
Energy drinks tachycardias feel like my heart is too light on my chest, and my hands get kinda shaky, as if my body was in x1.5. It doesn't feel bad at all tbh (at least for me). I usually have 110 to 115bpm after having an energy drink, which i can totally handle.
POTS tachycardias are way different, my heart feels heavy, my body feels weak, my arms get tingly and my legs itch because of the blood pooling, i get dizzy, i cant think, its hard to breathe, and add to it the hEDS pain of standing up still. As i said before, these tachycardias are between 125 and 135bpm, way higher.
I just wanted to write this down in case someone relates. I acknowledge that energy drinks and caffeine can worsen my POTS, as much as i acknowledge im addicted to caffeine lmao. This is my personal experience, pls dont get caffeine if its worsens your POTS and dont take this post as advice
le invité chaparritas, le dije q me gusta, nos acurrucamos, le di un beso, dsp le pagué el colectivo y me rechazó por un mensaje de instagram :p
es más complejo q lo q escribí, pero no voy a entrar en detalles porque son cosas personales y asi equis
edit: quiero aclarar que seguimos siendo amigos. Aunque suene contradictorio estoy demasiado feliz kdjdkdj he mejorado bastante como persona y estas simplemente son cosas q pasan :]
(me lo borraron de mi cuenta desechable asi q lo subo en la main :p)
este año me cambié de liceo y conocí a un cabro. Yo suelo ser regalón con mis amigos, en general soy una persona bastante energética, extrovertida y regalona.
Con él es distinto, desde el principio conecté mejor con él y así, nos juntamos seguido, me acompaña a lugares o yo lo acompaño.
Las veces que nos juntamos somos DEMASIADO regalones, así de acurrucarnos muy acurrucados, le hago cariño en el pelo y le doy besitos en la cabeza, a veces le doy besitos en la mejilla, enredamos las piernas, se acuesta en mi pecho o yo en el suyo. También conectamos mucho emocionalmente, podemos hablar por horas de cualquier tema, desde juegos, música o cosas más personales como experiencias de vida y así.
Al colegio le llevo pancito con dulce de membrillo (su fav) y cafecito en un termo para el desayuno, ayer le llevé un chilenito. En los recreos nos abrazamos muy juntitos. De vez en cuando compro pokis (esos dulces chinos q son un palito de galleta con cobertura de algo) y los compartimos de la boca.
También le hago regalitos, sobre todo lo dibujo bastante, casi siempre. Hace poco le hice una cartita y se la entregué en un sobre (decorado por mí) junto a unos stickers que le compré, siempre lo dibujo en mis libretas, en los cuadernos y asi.
En resumen, conectamos bastante y tenemos muchas cosas en común, nos juntamos casi todas las semanas a hacer algo, buscamos pasar tiempo juntos, somos muy regalones, somos muy cercanos en el tiempo que nos hemos ido conociendo (como 2 meses desde q empezó el año escolar)
Algún consejo para dar un paso más en esto? es la primera vez que conecto así con alguien y no sé cómo seguir avanzando esto, siento q no es momento aún de declararme
edit: muchas gracias a todos por sus consejos, los tomaré en cuenta :]
im kinda disappointed of what i bought. I spent 30 dollars on kalalau bullet point acrylic markers. I was so excited for it since I've wanted to have good quality acrylic markers for months, and decided to buy these.
The first thing that disappointed me was that one of the markers was broken and kinda dried out, i sent an email to ohuhu and they haven't answered
Second, some colors have the same coverage of $6 acrylic markers, which is annoying since i bought these expecting a good coverage for every color. One of them, YR54 (peach/skin color) at first had a good color, but now it looks yellow and transparent, idk what to do. Last two pictures have just one layer of paint and the difference between opacity is pretty noticeable
The coverage of the markers is so inconsistent it makes me mad, some light colors have good coverage while others not, same with some dark colors.
Its the first time I spent so much money on art supplies, i expected good quality from a well-known brand. I just wanted to express my disappointment, and see if someone has any tips to improve the markers or fix anything
TW for selfharm and suicide mentions that aren't the main focus of the post
I've been suspecting hEDS for at least 5 years, told my mom back then and doctors said nothing
I've been in such pain these past 2 years that sometimes i couldn't walk or even get up from my bed, i also tried to kill myself 2 months ago because of the pain, and sometimes self harm was my only pain relief
today my dad made an appointment with a known rheumatologist in Chile, who knows a lot about EDS, hypermobility and fibromyalgia. I almost cried out of happiness because my pain will have an answer, an explanation, a source to explain to people why im always in pain
im just so happy i needed to tell this to more people than a few friends!!!!!!!!
and how to deactivate that?????? i send a lot of stickers when i talk to my friends and it makes it so much harder to search a specific media with all the stickers there
i wish links were shown as media instead of stickers
i recently bought a thermos bottle for and I've been bringing coffee to school these 3 days
well I've heard that caffeine can worsen POTS symptoms, but it actually helps me A LOT. I usually need to stand up for about 10 or 20 minutes on recess, and I've been able to handle those w my coffee. The thermos is a 500ml bottle, i use 1 teaspoon of coffee and 2 of sugar, and drink it in 1 or 2 hours
Coffee also helps me to focus more, since i have autism, and to have more energy to walk — i walk over a km daily, without that energy boost i would be defeated before arriving home (hEDS, POTS and autism aren't for the weak)
i don't regularly check my hr, but i feel the tachycardia when its there omg
i want a game w the slime rancher vibe but about isopods, i want to collect isopods in a ranch and feed n take care of them
I NEED A GAME LIKE THAT, ITS A NEED, BEST COZY GAME EVER
