Tweet > A Utah judge tossed out a $100M suit against Russell Westbrook and the Utah Jazz filed by two fans banned from Jazz games after taunts toward Westbrook in a March 2019 game, per court documents. Shane Keisel and Jennifer Huff claimed defamation and infliction of emotional stress.
Hi, I'm new here but I have lurked for a long time. Last night, I literally thought that my heart was going to give out, I finally hit my tipping point getting dragged through the mud with chronic stress for like 4 straight years, and it feels weirdly liberating that I have hit this mark because now I can honestly set boundaries without guilt that I literally cannot take on things I can't handle/don't want to do because I have to take care of my circulatory system.
This past week has been comically bad, starting with this past Monday, when I was helping my grandfather with errands and then cycled at the gym and afterward, I actually couldn't walk. I thought I had a blood clot in my leg because the vein under my knee was egg-sized and very dark and painful. I went to the ER, and turns out a varicose vein deeper under the skin had ruptured---but that didn't even phase me. The next day, I had to drop artworks for a small show in NYC but realized that I had to go to my grandfather's cancer appointment Wednesday morning at 8 AM, so I did both, and it was miserable. I had barely slept after both the train to NYC and the bus returning were a cumulative 2.5 hours late, and I went straight to his house. He was extremely annoying all day because he was nervous about his cancer remission status. I know this sounds cold, but he is actually my favorite family member and I have been taking care of him for months in the capacity which I can give, which is about 20 hours a week, plus a morning and evening pill phone call. Wednesday evening, my air conditioning broke during a heatwave here on the East Coast US. This brings us to Thursday, where I got lunch with my friend who is dipping into some dark political opinions, and when we went to get his dog, his dog tried and failed to bite my knee cap, and then lunged at me again, while my dumbass friend is like minimizing it (honestly I'm not scared of getting bit by animals in general, but this dog was agitated from all the fireworks that people set off constantly here in Philadelphia). The air conditioning still didn't work. Thursday my friend moved into her apartment upstairs from mine and had some issues with getting her couch in the building, which caused minor chaos. I finally got a night to myself (my boyfriend has been very clingy lately, and will all my stress, he has been another issue because he is another person who needs so much from me), watch garbage TV, ordered Shake Shack, and after eating, I got this horrib
... keep reading on reddit β‘Iβve experienced this problem/gift about four times now. In extreme amounts of stress it will reach a point where instantly all guilt is relieved and all empathy is removed. It feels like a cold state with no emotion where I just shut down completely. In this state, though, Iβm able to say whatever I want and act with no empathy. For example, if I want to hurt whoever put me in this state, while I mightβve felt guilty for it before, in this state I can say the worst things possible. Any other infjs experience this catatonic state? I almost love it because the guilt is relieved but I know it has to be extremely unhealthy.
I started fasting hoping it would help me have a better relationship with food. I have been an emotional eater most of my life. My mom passed away a month ago and I have managed to avoid binging this whole month. Because IF helped me learn to see good differently, I looked to family, friends, and journaling to help me instead of food. I love all the positive changes that are coming into my life through IF.
The mind can turn the body's pH from acidic to alkaline in a matter of minutes. Stress can adversely affect the genetic makeup in your body; the mind can positively or negatively affect DNA.
One of the fastest and easiest to feel, method to counteract stress, comes from a natural reaction that our physical body has to us having consistent/strong enough positive thoughts. Whether from positive memories, thanking God, thinking about your future plans, someone you love, inspiring or moving moments in life/movies/songs.
Really consider the fact that from just thinking certain positive thoughts your whole physical body can get chills all over it or just in certain locations (for now).
If you take time to notice you will find that your self induced positive chills have an accompanying sort of wave underneath your skin (sometimes cold and other times hot). After researching what that specific current underneath the skin is I came across a sort of energy we have that is tied to our spirit.
I've found many names for this Energy like Spiritual chills, Euphoria, Voluntary goosebumps, Ecstasy, Prana, Chi, Qi, Vayus, Aura, Mana, Life force, PitΔ«, Rapture, Ruah, Ether, Nephesch, Chills, Goosebumps, The Force and many more.
Now consider this if you can truly induce that feel good occurence at will, you can definitely use it to counteract feelings of stress.
If you would like to know how to take control of that energy and how to, at will, stop that paralyzing feeling of stress on it's track. Here's a five minute YouTube video for you.
I have been a COVID long hauler for 1 year and 4 months. Initially infected in March of 2020. I have been going through so many ups and downs with sooooo many relapses...but finally in the last 3 months or so, things were getting a lot better. I was finally able to work out, I was feeling stronger, and my energy was coming back. No more chest pain, my heart rate normalized, no more GI issues. I was feeling like I was finally truly recovering.
A few days ago, after a trip to the museum (double masked, using hand sanitizer constantly) I started experiencing symptoms of the initial infection. I went today to take both a rapid test and a PCR test just to be sure. The rapid test came back negative, but I am still waiting for the PCR test which is more accurate.
Then I started thinking about how last week was extremely stressful for me. I had so many things going on emotionally with anxiety and stress...then I also decided to work out, and on top of that, I wasn't able to get enough sleep. Going to the museum also caused me immense anxiety.
Could all of this have triggered a bad relapse that feels just like the beginning of COVID? Even though I had not had a relapse for a while? Do you guys still get relapses specifically triggered by stress?
I'm just hoping that the PCR test also comes back negative. I dunno what to think anymore.
My life is flashing before my eyes. I think I might die.
I move to a new state in only about six weeks. I'm supposed to be starting a rigorous PhD program across the country. I'm also a Muslim girl from a conservative family. I cannot tell them anything. Best case scenario they cut me off forever as opposed to physically hurt me.
A million thoughts are rushing through my mind.
What if I can't schedule an abortion before I leave? Is abortion murder? Will an abortion actually terminate the pregnancy or is there a chance something will survive? Will I be fertile afterwards? What kind of emotional and mental damage will I suffer afterwards?
I haven't been able to sleep or eat for days. I'm honestly fearful for my life. My heart is racing all the time and my thoughts are so dark and beyond depressing.
My friend (s*x partner) said he is willing to support me and pay for an abortion if necessary but that doesn't address all my worries.
Brothers and sisters, my wife and I really want a baby but we are not yet blessed with one yet. Every single time my wife gets her period, we are both devastated and emotional down. My wife commented βGod will not give us a babyβ and she is the always hopeful type. I bet you guys can tell how hopeless she feel. I canβt stand to see her like this. I really need Godβs love and mercy to bless us with a child. I am emotionally tired too. I donβt know what to do but pray but its never answered and i donβt know what to do. Please help me pray. Thank you
Sooo, the other day I got really stressed out about about something and started crying. I noticed that my costo/chest pain was worse during this time. But I havenβt seen anything about emotional stress/crying increasing the pain with costoβ¦ a friend thatβs a dr gave me the weirdest look when I said stress makes the pain worse and she told me that it shouldnβt be the case and to get my heart looked at. (That didnβt help with my stress at lol. Thanks.)
Thanks everyone for sharing your stories and symptoms! I was diagnosed with it a month ago and put in an anti-inflammatory med for a little bit. That, plus sleeping on my back helped for the most part but itβs still lingering. Iβm also having trouble breathing at times- shortness of breath and my heart rate is a little more elevated. All scary things. I have more following up tests and appointments to rule other things out, (of course I have awhile to wait to be seen for them) but reading some of the symptoms and stories yall have shared has really made me feel better and less alone/crazy!
Thank you!!!!
I find that when something really upsets me/makes me cry/hurts me I find that I am so emotionally and physically exhausted that I feel like I need to lie in bed all day the following day, preferably with the lights down low and under the covers!
I also find that I can cause this cycle by imagining negative scenarios in my head that may or may not happen in the future with people I know, and that can lead to me responding emotionally as if it has happened...and then the physical exhaustion appears the next day. I will feel completely depleted in energy and won't feel up to doing anything, even small tasks.
Anyone else get physically exhausted like this after you have something upset you?
When I am very stressed, for a friend or loved one rather than for myself, I tend to shut down emotionally--or at least, I can keep my typically high-strung 'freak out' reaction low, and end up feeling nothing personal, only concern for the person I'm worried about. I tend to speak differently as well, because my usual way of speaking is very upbeat and expressive; so that sort of comes along with this emotional detachment. Now, I'm not sure that detachment in this sense alone is dissociation, I'm working my way through some literature on dissociation in general; I am often dissociated alongside this sensation, usually feeling very detached from my body as I focus ... almost entirely on the situation at hand. Sometimes the sensation is..strange enough I feel like I am someone else, honestly; but without any real details beyond a vague separate sense of self. I'm questioning a lot about that, but it's strange to me that this only happens when I am worried for a friend. When I'm stressed of my own accord I don't have any such detachment or ability to stay calm.
Was recently diagnosed with graves. I had untreated graves for months. I have PTSD and depression and anxiety that is not caused by graves but was amplified from it. im in treatment but I am very sensitive person that is deeply affected by others, how they treat me. I still get upset over how rude people were to me even years ago . i remembered someone who was horrible to me and i started to cry and cry today, feeling so enraged because of it, and a little suicidal.. If someone even gives me a bad look , i will agonize over it for months/even years. I still get sad over my childhood, i have obsessive mind so trying not to think about negative thoughts is very hard. i know i need mental help. i have to find the courage one day to seek help
I recently had a friendship breakup which left me heartbroken,i spent a long time feeling so sad, guilty and angry over it. then i found out i have graves and my heart rate was so high, i think all the emotional stress made it worse. i almost feel sorry for my heart for putting through such a heartache because im bad at coping with my emotions. Is it possible to have a heart attack from constant heartache ? is anyone also going through severe depression and feeling bad emotions while having graves disease?
Our posture is often a result of physical factors, such as injury or working conditions. However, emtional factors can play a part too.
Stress over an extended time can cause a tightening and shortening of our fascia, a type of sensory connective tissue in the body, making us feel tense and affecting our posture. To improve posture therefore, it's important to consider any stress factors, as well as just physical ones.
To regulate our reaction to stress and reverse fascial stiffness, Dr Robert Schleip, a leading expert on fascia, recommends a breathing style where the exhalation is slightly longer than inhalation. You can make the effect even more profound by humming whilst you breath out, stimulating theΒ vagus nerve. Humming helps us produce up to 15 times more nitric oxide, a gas that widens our blood vessels and gets more oxygen around the body.

When I am stressed or something is bothering me it sticks to my mind then I canβt focus and shut down for days. I watch comedy shows or do something to not confront myself with what is really happening. How can I deal with this the healthy way?
Back in October I was in a pretty bad car accident other than hurting my back i was fine but the damage to my spine was fairly serious. I was temporarily paralyzed from the waste down and I've had horrible pain everyday singe it's been over 6 months and it feels the same as when I was 3 months out. I'm worried I'll never have the career I want, i want to build cars, and god willing be a racer but I'm just so concerned about my back that I am afraid I'll permanently harm myself more than I already have, I have nobody who understands the amount of pain or how random it is I dont gave to be doing anything for the pain to start and it wont stop I've considered suicide more times than I am comfortable with but the thought of leaving my friends and family behind is unbearable. I just want my life back but I dont really see that ever happening I currently work at jimmy John's and even that is too much stress on my spine. I miss running and hiking and wrestling with my girlfriend who even tho she is a huge help just doesnt understand what I mean when I say I hurt. I dont feel like my life is in my control more like my life in control of me

I was wondering if there are any couples out there who had issues with binge, food addiction, emotional eating etc. and they did it together. What was the dynamic? How did you realise? How could you help each other through it? I think I am in a similar situation, and would love to hear from others - how could you overcome this?
Edit: to clarify both me and my husband, we have food issues and overweight, not just one of us
Hey everyone (F/27, Green Plan). I've began my diet about a couple weeks ago now. Suddenly, there's so much going on with me personally. (Always has been, but now even more so). I won't get into all those thousands of things, but basically, eating fast food and things like that relieved my symptoms of suicidal ideation, depression, mood disorder, anxiety, trauma, family issues, chronic pain, and more.
Right now, this is really rough. Everything is really rough. The last thing I want to do is stick to my diet. I just want to pick up fast food after work right now. Sometimes I feel like I can't be handling all these things, PLUS a diet, all at once.
Long story short- can I have some advice?
For those with similar stories like me, how the hell in the world do you manage? Any tips or suggestions? Any replacements? Any good low point foods or snacks you've found?
Thank you so much in advance. Really struggling.

The titleβs vague, I know, but I donβt have an easy way to describe the episodes Iβve been having. This is also a long post, so sorry in advance.
Iβm a self-diagnosed autistic. Iβve also been experiencing a ton of stress (trying to move, starting graduate school in the fall, and some other stuff).
Sometimes when Iβm having a difficult month, week, or day, I get incredibly stimmy in the evenings. I stim pretty often, but this is nearly uncontrollable and comes with a sense of frustration that brings me to tears. I get to where I canβt do anything but stim. If asked whatβs wrong, I canβt say anything except βIβm frustratedβ and βI feel bad.β If I keep going, I start crying uncontrollably and/or laughing. My normal solution for this is to get to bed ASAP.
This happens... sometimes. Not often, but itβs not really surprising when it does. I had the worst episode Iβve ever had last night. I slept poorly the previous evening, I was hungry, stressed, and dehydrated. I started stimming and shaking shortly after I got home from work. My husband helped me do some deep breathing, but that didnβt fix it. The only way I could function was to turn off all the lights in my house, cover my eyes with a t-shirt, and listen to calm music on repeat. I kept doing a stim-shudder thing every few minutes. I laid there for over an hour, had dinner in the dark, and went to bed way early.
Itβs morning now and I feel like myself again. But that episode scared me. That kind of stuff... doesnβt usually happen to me? Anyway, Iβm just wondering if anyone has experienced this or something like this. Iβd love some advice.
Thanks. :)
At the end of December 2020 I had a very stressful move to a foreign country where I knew no-one for a job, during the pandemic. I left my family and long-term boyfriend behind, not knowing when I'd see them again. It was awful, I cried and was drunk for the whole time I was in quarantine after arriving. (+ There were issues with my visa, and with the flat... It was just a nightmare.) The whole of 2020 was insanely stressful, and the move to a foreign country was the peak of it.
I noticed my hair started falling out 1 month later, at the end of January 2021.
Right now my hair is still falling out a lot (now it's mid may). But at the end of April I noticed regrowth, and there's more and more of it everyday, so I'm hoping the shedding will slow down soon!
At first I wasn't sure it could be TE, because other people's triggers seemed to be physically traumatic events (surgery, illness, or stopping/starting a medication) and nothing like that has happened to me. But I think it could be TE due to psychological stress. What was your trigger? Anyone with stress-related TE?
It only happens when I'm texting. I don't want to say things out of anger or write a whole book when I'm under stress. It's like I'm so overwhelmed by the situation that I let off all my baggage (if that makes any sense), but I know it shouldn't be like this. What's the best way to redirect that energy, and keep things direct (1-2 sentences) minimum? I struggle with letting things go if I do wrong or I'm done wrong. Both are trigger points. I don't want to be overwhelmed with anxiety or insecurities when I know being centered and having self-control would help me respond appropriately.
when i was 10, i was diagnosed with severe OCD, and an anxiety disorder labeled severe. diagnosed with BPD traits at 18, and at 19 i was diagnosed with cPTSD (i just turned 20) due to many traumatic events that took place over the past 10 years. ive been in and out of residential, treatment, therapeutic boarding school, outpatient, etc. anyways, my cardiologist told me that traumatic events can cause POTS. i didnt think this was true but it would make sense for me? my body has been under an incredible amount of stress over the past decade due to constant panic attacks, constantly feeling sick due to anxiety, and constant traumatic events happening, i was wondering if my body could just be fried from all the longterm trauma and stress, but could that cause POTS?,,, anyways i was wondering if this applies to anyone else

I (23F) am looking to change my relationship to food because I know that its a pretty poor one. I live with family that includes a member with a wide range of food allergies/intolerances that restrict what food we have in the house. Both my parents dislike and are vocally resentful of home cooking, which I think I have internalised; ordering out happens probably 4-5 times a week. And pretty crucially, the moment anything remotely stressful, uncomfortable or emotional happens we open up the chocolate.
I have started to attempt CICO, but the moment I have a bad day or an argument with someone or have an assignment due, I'll eat a tub of icecream on my own and wash it down with a litre of softdrink.
How can I break this cycle, particularly when I can't control the food/eating environment of those around me?
It seems like a lot of people who suffer from this have suffered some kind of trauma in their past. Is this not the case for anyone?
There's long history here. But the short story is, I need emotional validation and reassurance, and warmth and romance. I'm afraid every time I bring this up to my boyfriend it just turns into a fight. It seems he's only sweet with me when I don't bring up relationship stuff. I like that we hang out all the time. We watch things together we're on a call while he plays. But I need a little more romance. It just feels like we're online fwbs. He says he wants kids with me, but I'm unsettled by this lack of emotional openness...I'm about to give up. Should I go?
