Does cold ai wind from outside or fan make shunt and area around shunt cause sharp pain for anyone that has one?

32, female, 5’4 & 160 lbs. Went to the ER on Monday for rib cage pain, fatigue and arm pain. They asked if I had fallen and I said yes, a week and a half ago. I have a large visible bruise on my upper arm. They did an ekg, one chest xray and a ct of my abdomen along with blood work. Was discharged and told to follow up with primary care. I’m realizing now I wish I’d requested they check for DVT. I’m having achy pain near my bruise and still have arm pain. I have an appt with primary but I’m in so much pain and am so worried, I’ve contemplated going back to emergency. What would you do next?

32f, 5’1,mixed race, non smoker,
I have extreme pain in my right ring finger tip/nail bed when I accidentally hit my nail on something or if it’s pressed on. It also hurts when it gets cold.
When it gets pushed on/ tapped, the pain is sharp and my finger will start to shake. Some times can turn red.
I live in HI so it doesn’t ever get that cold. But when working in my office or in an ac room, my finger can start throbbing. Only way to relive the pain is by warming up my finger.
I don’t have any fungus, hangnail, or tumor. No trauma from what I can remember. It’s been like this for as long as I can remember.

Greetings and thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. Two days ago (may 13) I woke up and went to the bathroom only to have a sudden onset of the most intense pain in my life on my mid right abdomen to my flank and back. I went to the ER where they did a UA which showed possible uti and sent me home with antibiotics and norco. I was still in 10/10 pain so I followed up with urgent care in the morning where they did further work up that showed hydronephrosis. They gave me a script for Phenergan q6hr and norco that I could take q4hrs but it wears off at the 2.5 hour mark. Currently, I am still in immense pain that I can hardly move. I also haven't eaten in 2 days. How long should I expect this kind of debilitating pain to last and when should I follow up if it doesn't go away?
Other info: 5'5 and 170 lb. 16 weeks pregnant. Currently on 1 tab norco q4hr and Phenergan q6hr.

Two months ago I had my first surgery and things went well. My surgeon found a lot of endo on my left side, with my left ovary being completely adhesed to my pelvic wall.
Prior to the surgery I always experienced pain with bowel movements and had chronic constipation which made the pain so much worse. After surgery, for about a month, I was going regularly for the first time in my life with no issues.
But now, I've started noticing the pain flaring up again. Not only with bowel movements but also just everyday life. I get the same pain in my uterus and sharp pain in my ovaries that I had prior to surgery.
I am so frustrated with my body and I feel like I'm back at square one. I am constantly in pain with various other conditions, but I was seriously hoping I would get at least a year free from endo pain post-op.
I feel like I'm being paranoid but I know that I'm in pain because I can feel it and I just hate not knowing what's going on inside of my body. I don't know who to go to about this because my doctors are useless and my surgery was done publicly after being on a waiting list for 2 years.
I am just exhausted.

I’ve tested positive with viral infection 2 weeks ago, went through all the motion, nausea congestion, runny nose, body aches but never really had a cough feeling better but the only symptom that seems to be lingering is lower abdominal pain?? This was my first symptom also doctor said more then likely just a “viral hangover” as basic tests and examination is fine just abit tender in my abdomen, anyone else experience this issue??

So I've been having lower abdominal (period like) pain since the past month. It comes and goes during the day and is faint. I don't have any other symptoms. No weight loss, no blood in urine or stool. I searched it up on google and it might be a symptom of stomach cancer. I would have went to the doctor but I'm having some family issues rn so I don't wanna worry my parents.
It's generally in my lower abdomen and is not very severe but sometime shifts to sides or right side of my abdomen.
And I generally have very painful periods with a similar kind of pain but much more severe. Currently I'm 10 days away from my date but still experiencing pain.
Should I see a gynac Or it could be kidney related?

Yes, anxiety and stress can cause chest pain. This type of chest pain is often referred to as non-cardiac chest pain and can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack. Here are some key points about anxiety- and stress-related chest pain:
How Anxiety and Stress Cause Chest Pain:
1. Muscle Tension:

• Anxiety and stress can cause the muscles in the chest to tighten, leading to pain or discomfort.

2. Hyperventilation:

• During periods of intense anxiety, you might breathe rapidly and shallowly (hyperventilation), which can lead to chest pain.

3. Increased Heart Rate:

• Anxiety can cause your heart rate to increase (tachycardia), which can sometimes be felt as chest pain.

4. Adrenaline Surge:

• Stress and anxiety trigger the release of adrenaline, which can cause the heart to beat faster and more forcefully, sometimes leading to pain or discomfort.

5. Gastrointestinal Issues:

• Anxiety can exacerbate conditions like acid reflux or esophageal spasms, both of which can cause chest pain.

Symptoms of Anxiety-Related Chest Pain

• The pain may be sharp, stabbing, or a persistent ache.
  
• It can be localized or spread across the chest.
  
• May occur at rest or during periods of high stress or anxiety.
  
• Often accompanied by other anxiety symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, shortness of breath, or a sense of impending doom.
  

Differentiating Anxiety Chest Pain from Heart Pain
While anxiety-related chest pain can mimic cardiac chest pain, there are some differences:
- Cardiac Chest Pain:

• Often described as pressure, tightness, or a squeezing sensation.
  
• May radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back.
  
• Can be accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, or sweating.
  
• Usually triggered by physical exertion or stress and may last longer than a few minutes.
  

- Anxiety Chest Pain:

• May be more localized and sharp.
  
• Often occurs during periods of rest or sudden anxiety.
  
• Accompanied by other symptoms of anxiety such as rapid breathing, palpitations, and fear.
  

What to Do If You Experience Chest Pain
1. Don’t Ignore It:

• Always take chest pain seriously. If you're unsure whether it's anxiety or something more serious, seek medical attention immediately.

2. Calm Yourself:

• Try to relax and breathe slowly. Techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation can help.

3. Avoid Triggers:

• Identify and avoid anxiety triggers when possible.

4. Seek Professional Help:

• If anxiety and stress are causing frequent chest pain, consider speaking to a mental health professional. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication can be effective treatments for anxiety disorders.

5. Lifestyle Modifications:

• Regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management techniques can help reduce anxiety levels.

When to Seek Immediate Help

• If the chest pain is severe, lasts more than a few minutes, or is accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or pain radiating to other parts of the body, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Chest pain, regardless of the cause, warrants attention to rule out serious conditions and to manage symptoms effectively.

Anyone experience feeling fatigue when standing and pain on your lower abdomen while lying down??

I was 2 weeks delay on my period and had sex yesterday, had a pinkish blood when I wipe after several minute period blood comes out. I am experiencing fatigue when I am standing and pain on my lower abdomen when lying down. Anyone experienced this before?

I’m on week 2. Week 1 was nauseous and tired, but ok. This week has been much, much worse. Almost fainted out shopping yesterday and then last night I genuinely thought I was gonna die 🙃 I couldn’t see I was so lightheaded, my feet and hands were cold and clammy, and tingly, my head tingly too. I was vomiting, had diarrhoea & severe pains in my abdomen. I couldn’t stop shaking. I thought I might need to go to A&E but I’m a single mum with no one to look after my kids, so I thought I’d just ride it out. It took hours. Finally got a few hours of sleep but woken up nauseous with still quite severe stomach pain. What am I doing wrong? 😭 I was so excited about this journey but I can’t live like this and may have to discontinue treatment. Does anyone know why this might be happening in such a severe way?

Hi All,
30yo female, uk
Last year I had a big trauma in the form of a minor health problem that was misdiagnosed/mistreated to the point where it became chronic (took 6 months to get rid of a sinus infection and I'm now on a wait list to potentially have surgery on my ear since that hasn't resolved).
I started off with tingling in my hands and feet that quickly spread to my entire body including parts of my mouth. This is a 24/7 symptom. I've had periods where I experience numbness (normally in my calf, wrist but the main place it flares in my face) but I still habe sensation like running a hairbrush off the numb patch i still feel it and if it's in my face I can still move my muscles etc. I've also had headaches that go on for about a week but both those seem to be more like flare ups and eventually they go. My more recent symptom is sharp shooting pains that are more intermittent and again seem go be all over (like i'll be chilling and it'll jolt in my wrist or part of my thigh). I put this down to the condition since it came on in the lead up to my finally having my neurology appointment so naturally i was really stressed and scared.
I've had extensive private bloods, as well as many public healthcare ones over the past year and all that was picked up was iron and vit d deficienes which are resolved now. I had a private MRI of my spine and brain as it was suspected MS and that came back normal as well.
Coming up to a month since my neurologist appointment where I was officially diagnosed with FND. He was very validating and had clearly really taken the time to read my notes etc from the fact some of the questions he asked had info in that I hadn't present to him myself. I had my millionth functional physical neuro tests and they were normal again. As it seems to be moreso sensory for me, i've just been given a neurophsycology referral and discharged from neurology and i had no date of when i'm gonna be seen.
I'm already in private therapy and she's helping me manage anxiety and work on redirection to just start getting my life back a bit.
I joined one FND forum and got really upset because it was a lot of people just telling me i've been misdiagnosed and it's xyz etc but for me it just seems like the right diagnosis. Also made my symptoms flare more.
It just really sucks that it seems you're given a diagnosis then left with nothing other than "find a support group in the meantime." I'm just scared of the possibility of ignoring a new symptom (like the shooty i have now) cause situationally i can pin it on stress and fnd and it turns out i'm ignoring something bigger.
Hope you lovely lot can provide ways to help me manage and hopefully some of you have experienced the same as me.

To live in the Undead Burg is a daily test of one’s wit and their will. The brutish and dull fall to the cunning, and the weak intellectual tears their own mind asunder. For those who escape the Asylum, it is sometimes enough to make one consider voyaging back to their cell.
After all, only a few are Chosen.
In the lower levels of the Undead Burg, a cloak of rat skin fluttered behind a walking corpse as they hurriedly turned the corner of a short length of stone stairs, slamming the shield of a hollow soldier against the ground just as the claws and fangs of the first hound rose to meet it. In truth he lacked the strength to properly defend himself with the thing, to raise it with only one arm and withstand a blow with the same, but it didn’t matter here. The lower corner of the shield lay braced against the bottommost of a length of stone steps. This, with his shoulder pressed against the shield’s top, made progress against him nearly impossible for a foe so light as this.
If idiocy was to lose one’s common sense, then it couldn’t account for the stupidity of an undead hound. The corpse raised a spear over the shield and swung it downward in a pathetic arc, the wood slapping against the metal with hardly a noise to report. Seeing the motion, the dog leapt sideways out of some horribly trained reflex, and in this manner crashed into large pile of eternally burning corpses. It yelped as the heat caught it, spasmed as it searched for purchase amidst the mass of charred bones and melted flesh, and promptly died. The commotion brought with it the sound of distant footsteps, and soon another beast had run headlong into the shield. This one took two similar “attacks” of the spear to repeat its fellow’s mistake, and the one after it four.
To think he had once been terrified of these things, and discovered his tactic in panic.
Beside the steps was a well, and (after a moment to ensure no further dogs were coming), it was this against which the corpse laid his heavy shield. The next test between him and his goal would require agility, something ill-afforded with such heavy hardware. For this, he turned his attention to the well’s crank, and set thereafter to turning it. From the depths was raised a target shield tied in place of a bucket, and upon it a collection of bones, a severed hand, a ring, and a candlestick. The corpse laid the miscellaneous treasures aside, untying the shield and equipping it to his left arm.
The first two thieves were marked by buckets… or rather, the buckets were set in place to tell the thieves which doors were to be hid behind. As travelers came and went, the buckets would roll down the hill as they were knocked aside or blown by the wind or carried around by the dogs, and thus the thieves’ stations would move. When it was determined one had rolled too far down the decline of the alleyway, an annoyed thief would inevitably carry it to a more desired station, pretend it had always been there, and hide themselves behind the newly marked door. It was possible some band of thieves set this tradition in place long ago and retained the habit after they’d eventually gone hollow, but proving this thought today would be nearly beyond impossible. The reasoning didn’t matter to the corpse, of course, but the effect he used to his advantage.
The tops of the doors he adorned with knives from the Lady of Moss- blades up, such that the forceful opening of the door would spin the knives just right to sink their poisonous bile into the victims below. What additional wastes and acids the corpse had applied need not be mentioned by name, only that they shared their patron creature with the leather cloak on his back. With his work done, he now walked the side of the alley as any clueless traveler would have, and awaited the springing of the trap.
As always, the third and lowermost thief signaled the attack by kicking open their door. The two now behind the corpse followed, and shortly thereafter issued their raspy exhales of pain amidst the clatter of falling steel. The corpse charged. The leader hurriedly reached for their throwing knives but was swiftly force-fed the edge of the corpse’s shield, thusly to be brought to the ground. Here was the corpse’s blade drawn, its cracked and jagged tip turned down towards its latest prey.
When skinning rats, it is important that one carries a sharp blade. This both to pierce the thick hide, and to avoid unnecessary damage to the intestines, stomach, and other usable bits lying beneath. Replacing the rat with a hollow, the corpse preferred the tip of a broken straight sword to the edge of his usual dagger. The motions made indeed bore some crude similarity to his work when harvesting leather, but the abandon of care became only more evident with each forceful cut and flailingly resisted gouge. In the end, what remained could hardly be discerned from a spot of muck on the road, a hollow-faced madman above it.
Further down, beyond a second set of stone steps, was another favorite spot of ambush for the thieves. The mutts at the end of the alley had long since devoured whatever scraps had been used to position them, and so readily charged forth at the beckoning call of the corpse. They found at his feet the now separated legs of the corpse’s most recent kill, adorned in many fresh gouges and oozing with a pungent liquid. The source of this meal mattered not to them, and so they eagerly set to work engorging themselves on the new flesh. So single-minded were they, intent on ridding themselves of the insatiable undead hunger that plagued them, that neither one slowed as a white foam began to pour from their mouths. Their stomachs first bulged, then split apart and spilt what little they had for content as the acid worked its way through. Their legs gave way from beneath them, first the hind, then the front, and yet still they desperately swallowed more of the decaying flesh and embedded stomach-skin pouches that rapidly digested them in return. When at last the pair had at last lost such strength as to no longer reach the meals inches away from their first gasping, then whining maws, the corpse delivered their mercy. A swift kick, and what little remained of their necks gave freedom to their lifeless skulls. The thieves, meanwhile, bore no challenge the corpse had not already faced. Knives over the first few doors, the greeting of jaw and shield, the pillaging of another victim. Nothing unusual, and nothing of note.
With the capra demon gone, some “chosen” adventurer having long since vanquished it from realm, little now stood between the corpse and… her… save only one thing. The corpse took the last flight of stairs three at a time, ricocheting off the wall on the outside of its only turn and bounding towards his target.
There she was, out in the open as always. The corpse sprinted down the stairs and, after passing a blind corner, set his left foot forward and crouched to halt his considerable momentum. The ambusher behind him was easily parried as he brought his shield up and behind him, cracking something in their forearm or perhaps their wrist. Not bothering to waste time, the corpse’s broken blade was brought upwards through the ambusher’s jaw until it snapped the bit bone between their eyes. This done, the corpse wrenched his weapon up and sideways with a hollow “pop” as the neck gave leave of its skull. The body collapsed to the side, its head twisting unnaturally upwards and backwards as it freed itself of the blade. The corpse, unbothered, bore no interest in holding either aloft. Now he turned, inspected the last of the thieves, and after a moment returned his blade to its holder.
“You are Patient.”
This first time he’d uttered the phrase, the last word was merely an attribute. ‘Twas a description of the one hollow that could be shot with any arrow, afflicted with any pain, and would yet remain loyally in her position. To be fair, it wasn’t for great gift a choice, as the position of “live bait” was reserved only for whichever of the thieves had been deemed least desirable by the rest. What caused this, and whatever penalties lay for abandoning of the post, were matters the corpse could only assume. The important part was that it was her, the thief who had become “Patient” by name. At their first encounter the corpse had considered dispatching her like the rest, but had hesitated in piercing her skin. He still bore the scar about his neck that she had given him for his idleness, and she still wore the rat skin “grieves” he’d forcefully tied to her for a marker. As time passed, the two gradually traded more scars and more black fur hide between them- the corpse receiving the former, Patient gaining the latter. He had stripped her and tied a pelt about her chest which lay now beneath her leather armor, he’d fashioned a double-thick leather stock to protect her neck, and though he tied gloves to her at a point she’d taken great effort in cutting them off. All this he had done across many visits, through much pain, and at expense of his best materials. Todays gift had by far been the hardest to craft- a thrice layered leather helm affixed on one side with a jawbone to replace what he’d broken so long ago.
His approach was slow, and well-rehearsed. At about ten paces, Patient’s patience finally broke as she ran for him. Today she chose to hesitate upon reaching him, though he'd learned this was by chance of random choice than any form of compassion. The corpse waited for the attack, not daring to kick another outcast as he had once been in life. She tried first her more viscous pattern, a pair of vigorous strikes that slid across the corpse’s target shield rather than bouncing away. She completed the maneuver and immediately prepared for a more powerful, slamming attack, granting the corpse the opportunity he had been seeking.
As she brought her blade down, the corpse deftly batted her strong hand away and gripped her shield with his open hand. Having no further need for his own shield, he cast it now away and spun the patient thief ‘round. She made as if to leap upward and over the corpse, but the maneuver was one he’d long since learned to counter. He stepped back, spinning himself so as to bring her sideways and around and down into a prone position with his right elbow along her back and his left hand pinning her knife arm down.
His next task, before gifts could be given, was to ensure he received no further scars in return. Placing his knee at her back to free one of his hands, he drew from beneath his cloak a coil of red twine fashioned from the same rats he’d skinned for his gift… some of the same, at least. With great effort, the twine was managed around the thief until she could no longer terribly well resist, and her hood was pulled back from her head.
Seeing the sunken red skin, the glowing eyes, the bare teeth, it reminded the corpse of life in the Pit of Outcasts. It was there he’d met the kindest of the living, the most desperate of the poor, and occasionally even a soul or two willing to speak or come close to him. ‘Twas a place for the diseased, the undead, and those criminals deemed too vile to disgrace the hangman’s noose with their neck. It was there he’d learned to knit and to sew, skills gifted to him from an undead woman not terribly discernable from the one before him now. The main difference, at least for now, was the slack jaw broken in uncountable pieces during their first encounter.
Casting the memories aside, the corpse set to his work. The leather about the thief’s neck stilled her head a little, but precisely cutting the skin beneath her jaw to remove the old bone was still a difficult task. The end result was unsightly, and it involved more than a few excessive cuts from the patient’s constant struggling, but it was enough to work with. Removing the old bone took a great deal of time thanks to the many fragments hidden in odd bits and pockets of flesh, but sliding the new one into place and wrapping it in the old muscle proved as easily said as done. The most tiring part was retying the cuts back closed, as the thief regained and continually demonstrated a greater ability to bite and snap as the corpse made more and more progress. The last of these gaps closed, the corpse finally wrapped the rest of the leather helmet about the thief’s skull and tied the loose end to the other side of her new jaw with more twine. It wasn’t his best work, but it was the best he’d done on something still kicking around.
Patient’s hood was returned to its proper position, and the corpse took hold of a length of twine connected to a slipknot in the middle of her back. Midway up the last stretch of stairs he’d come down, the twine was pulled and the knot it held gave way, restoring the thief her freedom. Knowing better than to stick around, the corpse fled to the top of the stairs, standing on the bridge overlooking her station just beyond where she would pursue. He watched as she freed herself of the last of the twine, as she looked to him, and as she eventually returned to her post. He said then the same thing he always said to her, though still he knew not if she recognized it.
“I am Aldin Paltry, the Leper of Hangknell. I will return again.”
He watched a moment more, but was paid not a glance in return. Back through the alley he went, bound for the dragon’s bridge.

A laparoscopic surgeon is a medical professional who specializes in performing surgical procedures using minimally invasive techniques known as laparoscopy. Laparoscopy involves making small incisions in the abdomen through which specialized surgical instruments and a tiny camera (laparoscope) are inserted to visualize and operate on internal organs.

Here's what a laparoscopic surgeon typically does:

1. Preoperative Assessment: Before the surgery, the surgeon will evaluate the patient's medical history, perform a physical examination, and may order diagnostic tests such as imaging studies to assess the condition of the organs requiring surgery.
2. Surgical Planning: Based on the patient's condition, the surgeon will develop a surgical plan outlining the specific procedure and steps involved. They will also discuss the risks, benefits, and possible alternatives with the patient.
3. Anesthesia: During the surgery, the patient will receive anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free. Laparoscopic surgeries are usually performed under general anesthesia, although sometimes regional or local anesthesia may be used.
4. Port Placement: The surgeon will make several small incisions (usually less than an inch in length) in the abdominal wall, through which trocars (hollow tubes) are inserted. These serve as entry points for the laparoscope and surgical instruments.
5. Visualization: The laparoscope, equipped with a light source and camera, is inserted through one of the ports to provide a magnified view of the internal organs on a monitor in the operating room. This allows the surgeon to see the surgical site clearly and perform the procedure with precision.
6. Surgical Manipulation: Using specialized instruments inserted through the other ports, the surgeon performs the necessary surgical manipulations, such as cutting, suturing, or removing tissue or organs. Laparoscopic instruments are designed to mimic the movements of the surgeon's hands with enhanced dexterity and control.
7. Closure: Once the procedure is completed, the instruments are removed, and the small incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue. In some cases, absorbable sutures or adhesive strips may be used.
8. Postoperative Care: After the surgery, the patient is monitored closely in the recovery area to ensure they are stable. The surgeon will provide instructions for postoperative care, including wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions.

Laparoscopic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. It is commonly used for a variety of procedures, including gallbladder removal, appendectomy, hernia repair, and gynecological surgeries like hysterectomy and ovarian cystectomy.

Hey y’all! Sorry to bother on here but I’m kind of going through it right now. I’m currently on day 6 (I’m writing this at 2 am because I can’t sleep because of pain/anxiety). I have to know. Does it get better? It feels like it’s getting worse. Day 4 wasn’t bad but now I have a massive earache, and my throat is killing me. There’s sharp pain in my eathroat every time I swallow. It doesn’t help that I’m a little anxious right now and my brain is refusing to turn off. (I’m convinced this pain is due to an infection or something crazy, even though absolutely nothing inside my throat has changed and there’s no blood.) Can anyone enlighten me to how these next four days are going to go? Is the pain going to get worse for a bit? I have absolutely no pain meds left and I’m afraid to get a refill. Please help me 🫠

For the past 3 days I’ve had crazy pain in my abdomen/ gut after eating dinner, yesterday I rolled around in my stomach as I think it was just digestion issues, but tonight is the night before surgery and I’m incredibly anxious but worst of all I have this horrible cramping pain in my lower right side. I’m paranoid I have appendicitides but I have no other symptoms. Just crazy pain. Could it just be nerves? Can your appendix area cramp up when you’re super anxious?

For the record I do not have any trauma related disorders, personality disorders, or mental disorders other than MDD and severe anxiety. That being said I truly share symptoms across a lot of different disorders which confuses the hell out of me.
I had a normal childhood until about middle school. There I experienced a moderate amount of social isolations but still managed to make friends. A few of these friends tended to mess with me and try to make me feel as if I was lesser. I know I am not overreacting because other people have told me this and they act differently toward others. I think this was due to my appearance at a younger age and my anxiety. I cut them off because I realized they didn’t keep me around for other then making themselves feel good. I kept a few friends that I never Really considered close but largely I feel didn’t want to hangout with me lying about reasons not being able to hangout. I caught them in lies multiple times posting stories being somewhere when they said they were too tired to do anything or had a family event. I wantd to do something maybe once every two weeks and when they were busy maybe once a month but they managed to hangout with other people every weekend. High school I isolated myself and experimented with different personalities to try to make friends but nothing really worked that well. In my Highschool friend group I eventually had enough and argued with them over something relatively unimportant and they stopped associating with me after that with no more than a text asking if I was ok after being hospitalized a few days after. I had a bad reaction to prescribed medication that wasn't my fault. Never talked to a few of them after that in person and till this day and they think I am crazy. One said I don’t have it that bad when I tried explaining why I was so upset and how I struggled with a lot of things because a family member had an autistic son and I could never have it that bad. I was forced to go into group therapy in h s as well because of a screw up with the school and long story short my parents agreed it would be best to pull me out for a bit. I was by far the most emotionally stable person in each group I was put in no matter which person it was. I was also the only male except for a couple younger guys that were there for ASPD or OCD. I hate that I actually enjoyed being around all of the people in there. I still hate how I wish I never met any of these people because I think about them way to often and it hurts me. I felt too much in common with girls that had PTSD, BPD, and severe childhood trauma. I know that sounds awful but I truly wish I could switch lives with them because of the true horrors many of these kids experienced. the main reason I am even religious is because I do not know how a human being could torture another human soul so badly without remorse or reason without being influenced by true evil/demon/possession. I will not go into any detail because I do not feel it is my story to tell. All I will say is the light seemed dull in many children's eyes in that place. The only reason I have cried in the past like 8 months is because I remember the stories these people have told me. I hate how the closest I have every felt to a human being was with a girl that had BPD who I barely know and I felt was kind to me with no reason. I hate how I see these people around my city without it actually being them. I hate how I stay up at night thinking about our conversations. I hate how I feel they did not like me because I was even in there. I felt annoying and disrespectful without trying and I felt everything I said was stupid and came off weird or wrong. I hate how no one understands me as well as some of these girls did. Like why am I actively having good conversations with someone who seems to feel the same emotions I am feeling do not wish to have children because of the way I feel and the risk associated with them experiencing something horrible. I have also never seen myself living super long due to me being high stress and the fact I just have too much weird situations happen to me. I feel every major goal of mine has been ruined by things outside of my control I only have happiness in fleeting moments but I have experienced pure joy in a handful of moments in my life. My baseline is depressed and anxious but manageable. I feel I am lucky enough to not experience true trauma but unlucky enough to keep having bullshit mess with my life plans and happiness. There is more stuff I intentional left out because its too specific and I don't like talking bout them.
Symptoms list:
Mind racing, hypervigilance, feeling everyone is against me without proof, paranoid or more so anxious bad things will happen to me, always on guard in public; feels like people are making fun of me, intense anger toward others the world and myself, sensitive to specific words and topics, intense sensation of hollowness, backseat driveidentity issues [really only preset during extreme bouts of physical and mental stress such as not sleeping, eating or illness], I don't ever get headaches unless I am insanely stressed or depressed, sharp disconnect between myself and my feelings or feeling is should feel, I imagine crazy unrealistic but statistically probable dangerous situations happening to me when I am in public, have an intense almost idiotic need to prove my toughness and would rather die than back down to someone
My doctors have never thought I have autism and the only reason I have ever looked into that is social difficulties and when I am sleep deprived or under extreme stress/ anxiety I am not good in social situations. This has gotten better as I have gotten older though.
I do not have OCD even though I have a borderline extreme obsession with my chosen sport to the point I have to stop myself from talking about it all the time.
I don't hallucinate or have overly grandiose ideas/delusions
Don't fit criteria for PTSD as my symptoms are manageable enough to function at a high level and I have not really hit any of the trauma criteria under the DSM-5
Bipolar out of the question as I only ever experience manic symptoms when I am sick and cant get enough sleep and my mood is relatively stable. My psych told me to stop telling my therapist I have experienced mania because he believes its only due to sleep related insomnia. Even though they did say it is possible its not likely.
bipolar same with schizophrenia don't even come close to this one
Personality disorder I have no immediate family that has any of these and I did not have an exceptionally hard childhood. No severe trauma to cause this plus my mood is to stable and antidepressants help me regulate for the most part also antipsychotic actually make me worse even atypical ones suck.
My docs and therapist just say I am really unlucky and have MDD severe anxiety and to get over my past but I feel as if it is apart of me and if I let go of it that all my pain was meant for nothing. I don't know why but I would rather go a lifetime of suffering because I feel that is a better alternative for me personally and is more honorable to society than the alternative. I Truly for some reason don't have a quitting bone in my body and sometimes wish this wasn't the case. I think this is party due to spite and hate and the fact I cant believe all this was meant for nothing.

Hi!
27F 5’6” 145 lbs No medical history No allergies Nexplanon implant Occasional drinker, daily nicotine user though currently trying to winnow down
Lately, as in the last year or so, I’ve noticed some overall health changes. I am currently looking for a new PCP, but wait times where I live are pretty extensive, so I’m hoping to get some advice from all of y’all on whether there is any correlation between these things/whether there’s anything specific I should relay or advocate for when I get an appointment.
New symptoms notable to me: - fatigue - I feel like I’ve noticed some heart palpitations/arrhythmias. After listening with a stethoscope, I heard what sounds like a stutter every third beat or so. It doesn’t happen too often, but I notice it happens more often when I’m laying flat or on my left side - brief sharp/electrical pains across my ribs and chest - muscle twitching, most common in my legs - itchy spells. These happen anytime and anywhere but most commonly in the later part of the day/night. Along with them, I now have raised skin whenever I scratch the area, which is new to me
Unsure if relevant, but I did notice a painless, hard lump right behind the curve of my jaw about 2 years ago. My PCP at the time was not concerned; he took some blood tests (normal) and ordered an ultrasound but I was unable to schedule it before my insurance network changed. Maternal great grandfather had Hodgkins. As far as I can tell, it has not changed in size.
Any insight / advice / direction / knowledge would be greatly appreciated!!
ETA: itchy raised skin thing on the leg
