It came out of nowhere.

What frustrates me is that, when I ended up going to the ER to see what was wrong with me (130BPM, chest pain, hand and foot numbness, migraine, mottled skin, lightheaded, shortness of breath, half blue nails), the doctor treated it as if it was just anxiety, he kept telling me to calm down.

I come here, I read the guide, then review my ER results.

Hypothyroidism anomaly. Everything is normal. I go to my doctor, B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism anomaly.

I know that it might not be life threatening, but that information doesn’t really do anything for me. My heart has never been this fast, it’s never pounded in my chest everyday, all day. It’s scary. When it hurts, aches, squeezes, and I have other bodily pain, I worry about having a heart attack or something. They kind of brush it off.

They also told me NOTHING. They said there’s a pill and I should take that, but no amount or frequency or timeline.

Do you have these issues too? I know it’s a symptom, I’ve seen some posts. I’m just scared. I just want it to go away. All the information is so overwhelming.

For the last week, I haven’t had any feeling in my fingertips. The fingernails themselves are a pale and ugly purple-blue halfway through the nail bed, they hurt, and I can’t feel them. There’s tingling.

My skin from thigh down on both legs and from shoulder to my mid-forearm are mottled skin, and from my mid-forearm to my hands, it’s a slightly yellowish ugly pale mess.

I’m PETRIFIED of getting blood work done, and I did it. They just came back and said, “well, your hemoglobin is fine, all other vitals too” and they didn’t check my iron or b12 levels. I asked.

I’m still having heart palpitations and I just don’t want to do this stupid blood work again, it’s so traumatic and frustrating that I get poked and prodded 3+ times and they don’t even address my concern.

Me getting blood work done is a whole phobia, I cry, I shake, sometimes I gag or throw up, and I have to go through it again to confirm what should’ve been in the first test

They don’t seem to be as heavily influenced by the Bible (compared to the medieval-era).

Why and how did certain names become popular? How and why were they chosen?

I have to get my blood work done (this time it’s a “no backing out” kind of situation) but I’m not afraid of the needle, it’s the veins. The concept of something going into a vein, feeling it, seeing it, it makes me gag and squirm and have crazy anxiety that makes me laugh or cry lol.

What do I do? I know it’s quick, but the reaction is so visceral and uncontrollable I’m so worried I’m squirm and break the needle or something horrifying

From what I've seen, 'us' and 'you' are considered second-person pronouns. But wouldn't they also have been used congruently with numeral pronouns, which could identify how many people (identified with selves) had to do xyz?

A few days ago my indoor-only cat ran outside and stayed outside for 3 days, we tried to get him inside by literally every means necessary and ended up using a trap that we got from our local humane society. He’s 9. This was 2-3 days ago. He is an affectionate biter and has bitten me (hasn’t broken skin) a few times. It’s not left any visible mark, redness, etc. He hasn’t gone to the vet in a few years (it’s pricey here, I know it’s not ideal) and has had a rabies vaccination 5+ years ago.

I have a (maybe irrational) fear of rabies, and the soonest vet appointment is Monday. I don’t know. I’m just worried somehow he’ll have it by then. Or that I’ll have somehow gotten it and die (timeline being 2 weeks until symptoms or likewise and then death is spooking me because it could’ve happened 3 days ago)

He has a small wound puncture wound on his inner hind leg, is ultra-affectionate and is way more vocal. There are no real signs I’d associate with rabies, some things say sudden ultra-affection is a sign?

Any advice to help with the anxiety of it or opinions on appearances of rabies?

Does it have anything to do with the trade routes that became accessible by sea? In Bill Wurtz’s video “the entire history of the world, i guess” he referenced a trading kingdom called Khmer. Is that needle head point where traders could dock and accidentally spread their religion?

If you look up a wooden spoon from any fast food place, the prongs are way shorter and there’s a lot more flat surface area than a metal fork. Why? Is it how they’re made?
