My good friend just reminded me of this.

I was in the 7th grade in 2007. My “boyfriend” at the time broke up with me and straight to my face he said “I’m breaking up with you because you’re too obsessed with fall out boy”.

No regrets lol

Diagnoses of C-PTSD, depression, rumination. I’ve been on XL 150 mg (generic- manufacturer Yichang Humanwell) for 3 months now. I was feeling good up until about 2 weeks ago. Within the last 2 weeks something seems to have changed. I am now staying up easily until 2-3am and screaming in my sleep NIGHTLY. My spouse said in the past maybe 3 times a year I’d have a night terror & be stiff while doing a piercing scream (no memory of these ever), but my yelling/screaming in the last 2 weeks seems to be nightmares as I am aware of the dreams and waking myself up out of them yelling/screaming with full memory of them.

Am I doing something wrong?

8:00am…takes medication as soon as waking up
9:00am-2pm…feeling sleepy & groggy
3pm-7pm…decent boost in energy
8pm-10pm….sleepy but not “ready for bed”
11pm-2am…wired & lots of energy

I was feeling hopeful at first but now not as hopeful. Any insight is appreciated. Many thanks!!

I usually have to skip Alone Together. Don’t get me wrong, I love the song and love the lyrics. I just get an overwhelming amount of sadness and sick to my stomach type of feeling when listening to this song and I’ve never been able to pinpoint the reason why.

Gagging & dry heaving even when I’m still laying down and while I am sitting up and doing my bathroom routine. Brushing my teeth first thing in the morning is a horrible sensation and triggers the gagging & dry heaving more. I’ve also never been able to eat breakfast for probably the past 20+ years (need to wait until I’m awake for a few hours)

Is this related to PTSD or random?

I have the type that wraps around with Velcro. Is it okay to wear this while falling asleep and just leaving it on until I wake up again? I know other areas (like ankle or knee) doctors say not to keep ice on for more than 20 min at a time. Curious on thoughts with this for the head?

I’ve been watching gymnastics more over the last few years, so now interested to learn about the behind the scenes process with the different competitions!

Thanks :)

Any recommendations? I used to wear TekGear ones from Kohl’s, but now the waistband is wayyyy too snug and making me feel sick. Lol

I tried checking the Wiki but couldn’t quite narrow it down.

Thanks in advance! <3

I can listen to all different kinds of genres of music while driving with no problem.

Listening to music at home? Forget it. Otherwise even the happiest & upbeat songs will make me feel emotional and sad. Like a dark and somber feeling overcomes me. It’s very hard to describe.

Anyone have recommendations for a migraine friendly ring light (or some sort of light) set up that I can use during work video meetings? The majority of ring lights I’ve seen are soooo bright and even if I’m not directly looking at it, it will still definitely be noticeable.

I usually develop a smell down there after just a few hours of starting my day with a clean pair of underwear. It’s not a fishy smell & not a sweaty smell, just a really notable lady bits smell? I am wondering if it is coming from natural discharge…..because when I am on my period and wear tampons, there is absolutely no smell!! So then makes me think it’s not sweat related. Is there something wrong with my discharge?

I should be getting ready for bed in the next hour or so, but here I am enjoying a fully caffeinated pod. Oops.

…for the first time in YEARS.

Instant regret. Big migraine trigger. I knew all of this going into it but—

-The screen was so bright. I forgot how dim I keep my TV screen at home.
-The speakers were on full blast for a tiny theatre.
-The bass was rumbling & bumping.
- The very bright neon exit sign.

Consequences of my own actions!

Diagnosed but haven’t gotten my CPAP machine yet, but something I’ve had for a longggg time is gagging upon my first maybe 20 minutes of being awake. Whether it’s my shirt collar touching me weird on my neck, brushing my teeth, trying to eat something.

Not sure if its a morning anxiety thing or potentially related to sleep apnea?
