Whatā€™s wrong with yā€™all ?

Never been to CA, but Iā€™m in WI and my allergies have been hell with the farmers trying so late to salvage any crops they can. Weā€™ve had like 12 inches of snow since Halloween and they said because of it the city isnā€™t gonna collect leaves this year, so all over town are huge piles of rotting leaves and lawn junk, then the hay/straw from the highways, ugh. Oct 19 my brother got married, and we got behind a trailer of hay, even with the windows up my allergies flared and I ended up with an allergic abscess that I had to go on antibiotics and multiple allergy meds for. Not fun. My face blew up it was nasty. Horrible photos for his big day.

Have you changed the air filter in your furnace? Thatā€™s one other thing I can think of that may help.

Hi neighbor. Minnesota here. Itā€™s funny I could drive with a blindfold on and know as soon as I crossed into WI. Your roads are way better than ours.

Iā€™m feeling like ā– ā– ā– ā–  tonight. A lot of really negative voices. Iā€™m not doing well but I canā€™t afford to go to the hospital. Not like theyā€™d do anything anyways since Iā€™m not actively suicidal or homicidal. I should just go to bed.

Iā€™m sorry you are having a rough night. Sometimes getting into bed and wrapping yourself in warm covers can bring a little comfort. I was there yesterday. Had voices while laying in bed but I was comfy so it was bearable. Hope this passes quickly for you.

I think I can handle it all.

is there such a thing? Itā€™s really bad, Iā€™m not stuffed up but thereā€™s always new, very loose fluid in there that gets in the way of my breathing just a hair and i have to blow it out.

Sure there is. Iā€™ve never suffered from it myself but if it started shortly after you moved there could be something in your place that could be irritating you. But it could be outside stuff too. Maybe try a saline flush of your nasal passages. I used to get outdoor allergies when I was young so I understand how it feels.

Something I noticed with reducing brain inflammation significantly, your symptoms reduce and the ā€œcrazy narrativeā€ is not so prevalent, where youā€™re always playing ā€œconnect-the-dotsā€ with every little bit of sensory input you see, and have a laundry list of ā€œsecret codesā€ and other weird bits of bullsh!t that only mean something to you.

Youā€™re better able to ā€œput things in a vacuumā€, like watch a video without connecting it to the crazy narrative, and make it purely self-referential, or only referencing things in a reasonable capacity, like a normie.

Not much just crouchy.

My mom is suggesting nasal spray but Iā€™m not a big fan of the medicated stuff. Maybe Iā€™ll get a saline spray and try that.

I donā€™t know. I was just feeling really down. I took a step back and started reading a book, then I took a shower, and now I feel great! Iā€™m ready to go out! Too bad itā€™s after midnightā€¦

Thank you for asking @anon57786250 and @roxanna. :slight_smile: Roxanna, you were right- it did pass. I hope yours does, too.

Wow! It is great having ibs. Oh well. Whatā€™s another challenge?

:exploding_head:

Yay! New Say Anything thread.

I just finished the book Psycho by Robert Bloch. It was actually pretty good. I didnā€™t think it would be so different from the Hitchcock film, but they really changed a lot around in the story when they adapted the book to the screenplay.
