- Hello all, I have had two dizzy spells today and I'm freaking out a bit. It really triggered my anxiety. I am pretty clear on why - I tried to go vegan. I started about 10 days ago and made sure to get plenty of protein but apparently, not...
- Has anyone else developed a knot at the base of their rib cage on the side of their spine? I had a bout of IBS last year in July and developed this nasty knot I have not been able to get rid of.If anyone else has had this and you have an idea to...
- Trying to find a solution to this. When I lay on my back, I have pretty serious pain on the left side of my spine at the base of my rib cage.When I get a massage I've had a bit of dizziness when they try to rub it out.This morning when I was doing...
- I've considered going vegan for years and am finally moving in that direction. I can't eat dairy or eggs so if I skip meat, I'm automatically vegan.My main reason is ethical concerns. It breaks my heart to think of inoffensive creatures being...
- I want to be healthier and am leaning towards a vegan diet. I can't do vegetarian as I don't tolerate dairy and eggs aggravate my IBS.Does anyone have experience with a vegan diet? Is it helpful or hurtful for IBS?
- I wanted to explore the topic of how we define victory with anxiety.My preference is to be at home. I don't hate going out but I just don't get the point beyond getting my groceries and such.That said, everyone tells me it's not healthy to just be...
- I was reading my old journal from 30 years ago and in it I describe battling my anxiety to do things I really don't want to do but feel I should. Fast forward to today and I'm STILL doing that. Looking at what is normal, what I "should" do, what...
- Just curious how people deal with it when some alters want a tattoo or piercing but others don't.I'm debating getting tattoos on my back where they won't really be seen but my guys want them on the shoulder and upper arm and forearm. I realize it...
- In the past, I saw my DID as a disorder or disability or disadvantage. Lately, however, I'm seeing the ability to split as a gift and asset - not only at the time of the trauma but even now.I went through hell getting to co-consciousness and...
- I was separated 3 years ago and am looking at dating again. I've started slowly but am triggered by everything dating-wise. I see and hear everything my dates say through the lens of PTSD and find reasons not to go on a second date. Seriously...
- Yes, this is sarcastic but I've sort of had it today.Triggers for my IBS:If it's too hot or too cold.If I'm too tired or have slept too much.If I've had too much or too little coffee.If I'm too hungry or too full.If I eat too many veggies/fruits or...
- Feeling like I can vent here and hoping others can relate.I'm having a bad day - more sad than anxious. A bad day for me is on the inside. I'm feeling anxiety for reasons that are unapparent to them and which I can't explain. And because of the...
- I find that often people I tell about the multiple thing (people I've gotten to trust over the years or a therapist or doctor) get really fascinated by it. They want to learn all about it (which to a degree is fine).They ask if they can talk to...
- Does anyone else get that where other people either feel closer to you than you do to them (which sends up creepy red flags) or you feel closer to them than they do to you (which feels very sad and isolating)?I have a friend that we've been small...
- I wonder how many people have seen the movie "Frozen" and what messages you gleaned from it. I thought it dealt with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD as well as how those close to us feel. And it was beautiful how empowered the main character became...
