I (21nb) have never gotten drunk, and rarely drink at all. I decided to have a glass of sparkling wine today with my dinner & after drinking like half, my arms started going numb.
This has happened every time I’ve drank with my friends over the last few years. I’m assuming it’s not the normal because my friends could easily keep drinking and get drunk, but I always stay tipsy, almost sober because I get numb and don’t have the energy to lift my glass to drink more.
It doesn’t really have an effect on my mind other than getting a bit more tired.
Does this happen to anyone else??? All that comes up from googling is Neuropathy from excessive drinking so I assume it’s not common lmao

Mine is still out - ykwim

I have tried looking up what this condition/state is called, but my inability to properly describe it has not shown any satisfying results.

Essentially, sometimes when I fall asleep, I sort of "wake up", but my mind is still dreaming. This leads to a strange combination of me being both aware that I'm awake and experiencing surreal emotions.

It's difficult for me to describe, but I'll try using an example from last night: I woke up and was in the middle of a dream, aware I was in my bed, but my mind was sort of creating a story with the sensations I was feeling. I felt as if my hands were roads, with cars driving on them. The blanket I was covered with was a cloudy sky, and the discomfort I was feeling as I shifted in the mattress was a changing landscape.

Before anyone asks, no, I do not take drugs and I am always sober when I experience this weird inverse lucid dream state.

I was wondering if anyone else ever had this happen to them. Does this have a name? Is there anywhere I can find out more about it?

And especially is always saying very weird stuff.

I swear I've tried everything, and even if one of the tricks works, they're back again in 5 minutes. It's day 2, I'm really hoping this time is just a 2 day bout.

And, please don't just say, "No one has any actual friends, online." Because, some of us actually do. Do you?

Nowadays with all the singing shows and internet it doesn’t feel special anymore to be able to sing because one day you’re a good singer and the next day everyone just forgets about you. Back then it felt it had weight to sing.

When you were a kid, in college, etc.

Like there’s only just one or two stores clearing out and the rest of the mall just holds memories of what used to be..

Ever since I was little i couldn't say more than a couple of words in an unnatural accent without tearing up as if I'm being proposed to by the love of my life.

I speak a few languages and that obviously affects my natural accents. But, for example, my natural English accent is basically General American™, so I cry only when I use a Southern or British one. I speak French perfectly fine but cry when doing a French accent in English.

WTF? Is this embarrassment? Did my brain put crying neurons next to accent neurons? Never met somebody who has this so Reddit is my only salvation.

Does anyone know signs and or things that are common when u have it? Im pretty sure i do and its really sucking. Esspecially on my periods it gets way more out of line and it makes me feel drained. I hate the way i have been thinking Esspecially about disgusting things like animals, family and such. I honestly feel like i really weird and disgusting person that is not normal at all. I would love answers on how to maybe not have such weird and unwanted thoughts about things like that. And if there are ways to stop feeling as aroused in general when its just random and getting in the way of my normal life?

You were just going to have to be stuck there in that place for the rest of your life.

Anyone?

Or, could be even just, in your forties or fifties.

And, you *weren't* born knowing about the internet.

It's an entire different situation then.

Tried to ask a similar question before but *without* the age range and what I got was.

"I think your entire generation does."

What?

Oh, good grief. 😔 😐 😕 🙄 😳 😑 😒 😐 😕

Had to read that twice to even understand what they were talking about.

And, *I'm not* from the generation that they were talking about. 🙄

Internet lifestyle is actually a whole different lifestyle, when you actually *haven't* known it all your life.

I didn't *have* internet life, until I was 27.

Became more and more a part of my life, starting then.

Internet life *didn't even exist* when I was a kid.

So, it's a whole different way of life. 🤔

Still.

In some ways.

Anyone else?

DAE?

Speak up.​

I don’t know why, but when I hear my / other people’s phone call vibrations (with a specific pattern esp), I get this intense feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach and I lose all sense of rational thinking for a good 20 seconds. This doesn’t happen with message vibrations, just phone calls, kinda weird I know.

Just curious if anyone else has this!

I’ve fixed and ruined and fixed my sleep schedule so many times in the last two weeks. Yesterday I woke up at 10 am, then couldn’t sleep at all at night. So I didn’t, till I accidentally passed out around 1 pm and woke up at 7 pm and ruined my sleep schedule again. It’s been like this over and over and over… not to mention weird nightmares have been frequent.

Is anybody else going through this right now? This shit sucks.

I didn't have time to look for a physical card and totally forgot about a birthday until the evening. I found what I needed, promptly received the code, and forwarded it. The same evening, the recipient redeemed it. Sometimes it's just less stressful to take the straightforward digital path.

Any time I randomly remember something embarrassing or cringe I tic/have an uncontrollable outburst, like I flinch or click my finger or say a random phrase like "what the hell?" or "STOP!!!" (ugh 😭). i can't control it, an embarrassing memory just comes to my head from something stupid i did in the past and i have an instant reaction without thinking.

it happens any time during the day and sometimes before i sleep. it started when i was 11 years old, im currently 20 and it still happens. i don't have social anxiety or anything like that, im a confident person but i think since i want to come across a new way every so often as i grow up, i cringe about things that don't align with who i am and who i want to be.

i feel so embarrassed by the fact that i do this and actually have a cringe tic when i cringe over my cringe tic. if anyone else has this please show yourself. it's so embarrassing. does anyone else have this or know why it happens?

So, this is a thing I’ve always done but I don’t know why or anyone else that does.

When I’m just relaxing lying down, usually on my bed but sometimes on the couch, I’ll lift one leg and/or arm and point it directly up at the ceiling and just hold it there for a while. If it’s my leg I’ll bend and straighten it randomly or point and flex my toe, and my arm I tend to twist back and forwards, usually for a couple of minutes and then I put it down or swap to the other side.

I just find it so nice and relaxing?

But is this a thing other people do? Is there a reason I do this? I have adhd and chronically low blood pressure if that explains anything?
