Always crying

I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.

Weirdly, everytime I see a reference to the ICE List link being blocked, it never includes the link to the list. Click here.

thank you for posting the link.

Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

Never stop learning+ Never stop sharing what you learned

No, but seriously. If whenever you get up from wherever you start to feel faint, get palpitations, get numb, get nauseous, get light-headed and/or literally feel your blood drop to your feet, check the symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome.

Also add more salt to your diet lol. With or without the POTS unless you have hypertension in which case I’d be more cautious.

POTS can develop in previous healthy people after a Covid infection. If you have had Covid recently or know someone who has, please keep this in mind.

ya boy had Covid and my Doctor thinks I may have POTS as part of my Post-Covid Syndrome. He has me drinking pedialyte to help with it because of the sodium content and I gotta say, it’s expensive but at least it fucking works.

No wait, it’s really not normal to feel lightheaded and see everything in a blur for a minute when you stand from being laid down ????

Nope, it’s very much NOT supposed to happen.

*flapping hard* Iiiii gotta talk to my doctors again. I keep forgetting how many adults in my Cerebral Palsy support group have these issues.

Reblogging SO FAST. I wish I had seen this years ago. To my past self and current you (if you need to hear this): you do not need to faint to have POTS. POTS UK’s website has lots of helpful info. Here’s their page on diagnosis. You can literally do an ‘active stand test’ on yourself at home + that should give you a good indication of what’s going on with your heart rate. Pulse oximeters are relatively cheap (I got mine for under £20 from Argos).

and it’s more important to self-diagnose now in the UK because there’s an active move in the NHS not to diagnose POTS, specifically because so many more people have it now thanks to covid - so your GP often can’t refer you for an assessment because most regions simply aren’t Doing That any more

Genuinely why is everyone 12 now.

The worst part is that everyone else being 12 is making me more 12 out of necessity. Like what do you mean my most very strongly held and controversial beliefs now include "cover your mouth when you cough that's yucky" and "it's good to be nice and bad to be mean. You shouldn't be mean to people." That's the shit they used to get mad at me on the playground for.

They teach you this shit on carebears man. They teach you this shit on the smurfs.
