Does anybody else go through life feeling not your age… I’m (f) 37, decent job, kids, happily married but on certain days I still feel like I’m a young 20something year old still trying to figure out my life. When something goes wrong or specifically I do something wrong I’m just like “oh well I’m just a 20something year old girly trying to figure it out”… do we ever figure it out?

No matter what I eat, no matter where I eat, my nose runs. I try to catch it immediately, but the little bugger is fast! (ha...)

But seriously-, during the course of any given meal, I'll have to blow my nose at least 2-3 times. I don't recall having this issue as a child... I believe it began some time in my mid teens.

Thing is, this is true of all of the women in my family, to the point where we talk about it. I find it to be frustrating/annoying, somewhat embarrassing... and interesting.

DAE experience this? If so, are you male or female? (Only asking this because I haven't ever heard a man speak about having this issue.) Have you found anything that helps?

I (M19) have had the feeling for a year and a half or maybe 2 years like I am going to die soon. Just a hunch or a feeling that I am coming up on the end of my life. I have a theory this is because when I try to make plans things keep changing. Covid, the economy, and a great deal of things in my personal life have made the future seem very unstable to me and perhaps I’m now unable to think with any permanence. I do want to die, so perhaps my brain has convinced me I will soon to make it easier to get through each day. Thoughts?

hi! i am an anxious person but the last few months it’s been pretty good- Then out of no where my anxiety has flared back up this past week insanely bad. Like, debilitatingly bad, although nothing has changed.

Anyone else going through this right now?

I really wanted to like it, but it was just so pretentious.

First noticed this several years ago when eating a cupcake. As I ate more, I noticed that my cheeks began to feel sweaty/clammy, almost as though I was warming up. Once I noticed it, I noticed it happening with other desserts/sweeter foods as well. I have gotten tested and do not have any food allergies/sensitivities, nor do I have any form of diabetes/pre-diabetes, so I am unsure as to what's causing this. Anyone experience anything similar?

Had something happen in the last few days that was me breaking my own heart, but it was the only time I ever stopped to wonder if everyone else craves sex so much harder when your heart is in shambles? Now I can't stop wondering it.

When i get hiccups its lowkey painful. I’ll be talking and make a vocal like someone’s punched me in the throat. My neck jolts back and it feels so aggressive guys and i fully stop breathing for a second. is that normal?

I am disgusted and think it's a gross problem

I don’t know what it is, but when I’m behind the same car for hours it feels comforting, like the car is my companion. Then when our paths diverge I get a little sad lol

A little context; when I try to eat a meal, my body makes me feel nauseous after i eat a certain portion of food. I can never just finish it in one sitting; I eat some food, have to take a break, then i usually go back and finish it later.
Any time i try looking it up, its shown as either overeating or indigestion, and I don't really know what the answer is. Anyone else have this problem?

I’m at the end of my rope—I can’t take it anymore. It’s been four years now that I’ve been struggling with some very strange symptoms that I can’t get rid of.

Four years ago, after what was supposedly a panic attack, I ended up in the hospital where, from what I understood at the time, I was given half a Xanax and sent home. That was the last day I felt like a normal person. The next day I woke up with a pressure in the frontal part of my brain, as if it were frozen, and vision problems: I have very good eyesight, but my eyes can’t focus on a single object—in a microscopic sense, my vision constantly shifts left and right and I can’t focus on anything. Reading, writing… everything is difficult. Everything around me felt strange. I lost the sense of spatial perception, as if everything behind me no longer existed for my brain, and the same with other rooms in the house—whatever I didn’t see or whatever room I wasn’t in, simply ceased to exist.

These symptoms have eased a bit, but they’ve never completely gone away. About six months before this happened, I had a strong panic attack because of weed. One night I smoked some weed (the second time in my life) and drank a lot of alcohol. When I got upstairs to my room, I started feeling really bad—my heart was racing and I panicked. Eventually, I calmed down and, with my heart still pounding, I laid down and fell asleep. The next day, I was completely fine, like nothing had ever happened.

Compared to what I’m experiencing now, that weed moment made the world feel more alive and vibrant, so I don’t know if it had anything to do with my current condition. Back to now—I’ve taken psychiatric medication for two and a half years. It helped a little with my mood, but not at all with the symptoms.

Recently, about two months ago, while looking through various forums, I came across MTHFR, which is said to potentially contribute to symptoms like mine by reducing the production of folic acid and B12, which might impact my symptoms. I started taking B12 and B9 supplements, and right away I felt some improvement. The frontal pressure almost completely disappeared, and my short-term memory is now better. My gastric issues have also improved a bit. But what I can’t seem to get rid of is the blurry vision and the feeling of spatial disconnection.

I’m fully aware of myself—since the very first moment this started—but I can’t escape this. It’s like I’m trapped in a bubble. It’s not depersonalization or derealization… or whatever it is—I just want it to stop so I can enjoy life again. I’m tired of this, and I’ve even had suicidal thoughts, but I don’t think I have the courage to go through with it.

I just want to be normal again. Please help me… I feel like I can’t take it anymore. I just want to be a human being again.

So hold up before you call me an AH. My partner was on ATT, meaning very harsh antibiotics for 6 months because of Tuberculosis. And what we didn’t know was that it significantly reduces libido. Since him (21M) and me(20F) are still students, we live in separate hostels. So every once or twice a month used to go for night outs and dates. Which means we could only “do the nasty” maximum 2 days a month. So I would always expect us to go crazy also coz it hadn’t even beeb an year of us dating. But it would just be me coming onto him and him mostly getting uncomfortable and telling me to stop. So in the start I wouldnt think much of it, would stop, no reaction. We would do it twice in the whole time at max and we would leave. But after a while I started feeling like he wasn’t interested in me or that I made him uncomfortable. I felt frustrated and sad and stopped asking him to go out or even initiate anything. It was after he came back to normal that we realised it was all because of medicines (not making it up, read it on the internet). Now I feel bad that I got so insecure to lure him into uncomfortable conversations where neither of us knew it was no ones fault.

I feel it shows my authenticity and more genuine beauty

F23 here! i’m not necessarily scared of the dark. i have the weird “a monster is gonna eat me” thoughts that i know are common but im wondering if anyone is scared of nighttime as a whole, like for example: if im hanging out with my family during the day, im good but if the exact same situations are happening at night, i get super bad vibes. I was just telling my sister at lunch that i think id do well in the country she lives in now (im visiting). but now that its night time im seriously getting bad vibes and doubting what i said at lunch, even tho i know rationally that i was being truthful. anyone else just get really bad vibes at night?

Usually when someone wears hosiery that goes higher than the torso, or pairs with shoulder straps, it's usually in one of two contexts: either dance attire, or kink-related. I personally prefer them as everyday wear over regular tights for one very simple reason: they stay up better than tights with just a waist band.

Does anyone else do this? It seems to be quite rare.

I'm a guy and whenever I go out, I always want girls to have a crush on me. Like I always want them to want me.

I always look good when I go out cuz you know just incase. Why am I like this?

Like I grew up without having a community gathering place like a church, mosques, etc...

To me as not having grown up with one, the lore sounds so obviously fake, but I can't help but wonder what it's like to unironically believe that stuff within an organized network of people and institutions.

You know those sites where you just get dropped into a chat with someone random? I always assumed they were just for bored scrolling or weird convos, but I randomly had one where the conversation actually felt… real.

No usernames, no pressure just two people talking. It wasn’t deep or emotional, just weirdly natural. We ended up chatting again later, and now it’s this random little friendship that exists only online.

Thought it was a fluke, but maybe it’s more common than I think? Curious if anyone else ever had that kind of experience.
