#symptoms
My new psych is a big fan of “does it matter?” for the mental disorder one.
I spend a lot of time wondering why I do things or feel things - sometimes I forget that the point is to try to learn to live with the symptoms, rather than to “solve” them.
In the end, as long as you can accept your symptoms/difficulties and find ways to lessen their impact on living a happy, healthy life - that’s all that matters.
May: Brain Cancer Awareness Month
The most common symptoms of brain cancer are:
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Difficulty thinking/speaking
- Personality changes
- Tingling/Stiffness on one side of the body
- Loss of balance
- Vision changes
- Memory loss
- Nausea
- Disorientation
- Muscle weakness
- Anxiety/Depression
These are not all the symptoms of brain cancer, and brain cancer is NOT the only cause of these symptoms. If you suddenly or frequently experience any of these, go to your doctor so they can determine the cause.

Child Sexual Abuse
Child Sexual Abuse - Rape and Sexual Assault Message Board and Chat Room
Child sexual abuse can be hard to detect for several reasons. Children’s bodies tend to naturally heal very quickly and sexual predators are known to extensively groom their victims to ensure that little or no evidence of the assault took place.
While this list is by no means exhaustive, it can serve as an initial tool for a concerned party to evaluate whether they should report a possible case of child sexual abuse to the police or local child protective services.
- A sudden regression to infantile behavior in a child that does not normally exhibit such symptoms. These include thumb-sucking, excessive crying and bedwetting.
- Disturbed sleep patterns, sudden fear of the dark, or excessive nightmares.
- A disturbance of appetite.
- Behavioral differences such as fearfulness, withdrawal, and crying for no apparent reason.
- Lashing out in school or a sudden decline in grade performance.
- A marked increase in aggressiveness and/or anger.
- A marked intolerance of being touched, even hugged.
- Suicidal thoughts and behavior.
- Strange clothing, such as turtlenecks or long sleeves in the summer.

Symptoms
I heard about it on the news, but I didn’t believe it at the time. I didn’t think it was as contagious as they said- I thought everything was propaganda on social media. Yet, as I stare at myself in the mirror I realize the hard truth behind the hours of content the news has been shedding the light upon for the past week.
I have all the symptoms- the high fever, the spreading rash, the hunger pains, the headaches and sharp ringing in my ear. I was surely a sight to see, and I looked exactly like the poor girls I saw on the news in the dozens. I close my eyes and wipe tears from my eyes, wishing it wasn’t so true. I had it, and soon, everyone else was going to as well… why couldn’t it have been propaganda?
3 ways to kill hay-fever :)
1) Vitamin C
2) Nettle tea
3) Avoid dairy, tomatoes, celery, melons, peaches and alcohol as they can worsen symptoms!
Vitamin c and nettle tea are natural antihistamines, and won’t put you to sleep like some medicines do!

it’s okay to have “unflattering” symptoms
it’s okay to have “embarrassing” symptoms
it’s okay to have “gross” symptoms
it’s okay to have “ugly” symptoms
it’s okay to have “inconvenient” symptoms
I appreciate that this site has info on the differences between heart attacks in girls and in boys, but like
As a trans girl that’s been on hormones for almost two years now, I have no idea what to look for lmfao
Yeah, I reallywish posts like that would specify whether it’s caused by hormones or something else, because like, they’re not much help if you’re not cis.
Speaking as someone who is trans and is a researcher: The horrific thing is actually that we don’t know.
Trans science is new, and we don’t know whether any given gendered trait is altered by hormones. It’s unfortunately as simple and awful as that.
Of the tiny amount of medical research which exists on trans people, the lion’s share focuses on HIV, because that is where the funding is, or on endocrinology, for obvious reasons. In other words, it’s all applied: there is almost no basic research on trans health.
additionally: even in people who have not taken hormones the signs are not that binary and much of that info is inaccurate to begin with
Hey!! I can help with this!! I’m certified in first aid/CPR and have been for years, and I’m about to get my next level of certification to become an instructor.
Trans girls can experience a mix of symptoms, so it’s best to know what symptoms present most commonly, as well as the different appearances symptoms can present as. Since the reason why heart attacks somewhat have “gendered” symptoms isn’t totally known, it’s hard to determine exactly who will experience what, and whether gendered symptoms are psychological (like some other illnesses), physiological or both.
One of the problems is heart attack awareness is generally divided explicitly between the recognized sexes. So the symptoms seem cut and dry, at least in the mainstream.
What you need to look for:
>Sudden arm pain: can be in your left arm only, but can be in both arms. The pain may build
>Nausea/cold sweat or heartburn
>Sudden chest ache or pain, or even a squeezing feeling
>A feeling of dread/severe anxiety or nagging mental discomfort. Most commonly described as a feeling of impending doom.
>sudden back/neck/jaw painWhen in doubt, call the emergency line (911, 999, etc) or get someone to take you to the hospital asap. If you can’t get transportation, try to make it as easy as possible for EMS to get to you. Go to an open space/landmark, unlock doors if you’re inside, park your car and pop your trunk/open your door, etc.
The biggest symptoms of this list are the arm and chest pain. But trust your gut.
if anyone was wondering the above list applies to a lot of intersex people too!
Would the mix of symptoms also apply to someone afab taking testosterone? This is a thing I’m really paranoid about as well
Yes! Trans men/non-binary people on testosterone need to look out for mixed symptoms as well.
Honestly everyone should know all the symptoms, gendered or not. Dyadic cis people can experience symptoms opposite of binary assignment.
The biggest thing with heart attacks is the symptoms will be sudden. They’re not carry over symptoms that last for days, but people with chronic illnesses that cause similar symptoms should be proactive about symptom tracking. You need to know when things are different so you can act quickly.
As a last note: heart attacks may not present with chest pain at all. Be aware of your body and any abnormal changes you may experience.
People with OCD generally:
- Have repeated thoughts or images about many different things, such as fear of germs, dirt, or intruders; acts of violence; hurting loved ones; sexual acts (frequently homosexual); conflicts with religious beliefs; or being overly tidy.
- Do the same rituals over and over such as washing hands, locking and unlocking doors, counting, keeping unneeded items, or repeating the same steps again and again. Those rituals may be mental as well and may include different things, such as repeating certain words in order to stop the obsessions, avoiding eventual triggers or praying.
- Can’t control the unwanted thoughts and behaviors.
- Don’t get pleasure when performing the behaviors or rituals, but get brief relief from the anxiety the thoughts cause.
- Spend at least 1 hour a day on the thoughts and rituals, which cause distress and get in the way of daily life.

if it makes you unable to get out of bed: you’re not faking it
if it makes you unable to think straight: you’re not faking it
if it makes you unable to brush your hair in the morning: you’re not faking it
even if you’re still able to work and smile during the day but unable to sleep or move later that day because of it: you’re not faking it
if it effects you in any way: you are not faking it
THIS IS REAL, don’t second guess yourself because others do
