Right?? I have to carefully pick a video to put on that’s long enough for me to either finish the task, or hit a good clean/dry hands point to put on something else. Huge when cooking and I know I’ll have to handle raw meat. Not touching my phone, nor breaking in the middle to switch videos, and lord I do not want to live in that Sonic’s-almost-out-of-air anxiety while dealing with the sensory nightmare of raw chicken hands.

it's so validating to hear that other people are exactly like me lmao

The fact that you used to be able to queue videos but now it’s paywalled into RU-vid premium 😢

@@trulyAmatulHaqq rip :( i caved and got premium because i can turn the screen off and listen to stuff in the background, but i didn't know that queueing videos was premium only now too, that sucks

Same but then I remembered that Siri can make another video play

I feel the same way, especially coming into the comments and seeing how many people relate to their discussions on illness and mental health. Almost two years into my Crohn’s diagnosis, and this definitely makes it feel less like me life is collapsing all around me forever. I’ll probably be able to manage it like these dorks some day

Seriously I felt really seen by the funny men in a couch who can't see me at all 😂 ( chronically ill/ multiply disabled)

I completely agree. Anytime I talk about it to my friends I'm treated so differently as if I should always keep it quiet. It's so nice to hear someone else be open about it. Especially while I'm going through medical gaslighting and no doctor will treat my Hashimoto's disease.

I also have chronic hives and it's literally amazing to hear one of my favorite youtubers talking about how he has the same condition. Like beat for beat.

Same! Ive been disabled for about 6 years and sometimes i have to remind myself , no you are disabled, dont you dare do that thing that will flare up your chronic pain

Literally my wisdom teeth are growing in as we speak. This comment was a sign to get them pulled

Crazy that’s exactly what I’m doing rn

i got mine taken out 2 days ago!

@@exacto7216 I just got mine out yesterday and I’m already mad I can’t eat my fav foods 😭😂

Feel better! Mine healed fairly quickly

me too!! my partner and i put it on in the background while we work on other things lol

fr ive been listening to rachel oats 6 hour bethany beal deep dive lmao

this keeps happening to me with the colleen ballinger swoop video i watched it once😭😭

the onision video essays never leave me alone 😭

the only version of “boys will be boys” that i will accept

Lol ikr 💀 flew right over their heads

Or miss demeanor

Wow that was pretty much my experience around 16 or 17. I'm at uni now but when I was still in high school I spent about a year suffering and hating being seen by anyone and trying pretty much every treatment, slowly going mad. It sucks a lot obviously and I think the hardest part is not having any sort of estimate of when it will go away or if it will just flare up again and again. Best advice I can give is to be kind to yourself about it, let yourself cry and be angry because it is horrible and unfair. The thing that eventually seemed to be what put me in remission was a combo of omalizumab (Xolair in the USA) and IVIG, the latter is rather hard to get but the former is pretty much the go-to treatment for non-responsive cases; if you haven't considered/tried it yet then it *might* be a thing to mention to your GP/immunologist/whoever

God, hives are the worst!!!!! I feel you.

no matter what, your worth is not defined by what affects you externally, but rather the strength we have to deal with them internally, and you’re doing great. hives suck, rooting for you!!

I totally get that. I might have a less severe case of MCAS and it's so fucking frustrating to do everything you can to avoid a flareup, and still end up having a reaction to literally nothing. It comes and goes so much for me- I could be perfectly fine using a product one day, then get horrible hives and rashes all over my body the next, and back again. Lately, having anything rub against my skin has made me breakout into hives too, so wearing clothes with a lot of seams or textures has been a nightmare, especially since that is almost all my clothes. I can't handle anything touching my skin because it feels like my skin is getting burnt or like having rubbing alcohol put onto a papercut, it's like nothing makes it better, and it's really hard to shower because that's when flareups get even worse, and it's never consistent with whether or not it helps or harms. I feel you so much, and I really hope you can figure out something that works for your skin. I've yet to gotten any testing for mine since I have other really debilitating chronic illness stuff going on that is more high priority to figure out, but I'm hoping soon that I'll figure it out or at least get on immunosuppressors since my issues are likely autoimmune.

@toadcrossroad You could either wear your clothes inside out, or take up sewing your own clothes, you could do neat French seams that would be pretty smooth.

Yes PLEASE!!! It would be amazing, and they know people from dropout 👀👀👀

​@AnnamatopoeiaArt exactly!!! Theyre gonna be on an episode of the new um actually season and im just waiting for them 2 show up on more stuff

they’re literally gonna be on um actually, it’s PLAUSIBLE and WITHIN REACH

Oh my gosh, yes! They'd be so great! 😭

​@@kalokai_ri WAIT WHATTT OMG I can't wait!

THANKYOU

They jumped immediately from that I had to pause to process fully

Yes! made me crazy they didn't talk about that

I’m crying and screaming that they didn’t notice this 😭😭😭

DUDE I WAS SO SHOCKED THEY DIDNT REACT TO THAT AT ALL B4 I REALIZED THEY PROB JS MISSED THE JOKE ENTIRELY 😭

what the fuck is glup shitto

I prefer "low support needs" because just because you often CAN do something on your own doesn't mean you never need help

@@lookatdemijipers yes that too!

Yeah, same here. I wanted so badly to prove myself. My parents aren't the most understanding in the world, and they give me a hard time with my executive dysfunction. It's hard to have to battle with the internal conflict when I have nagging parents to shame me about things I was already ashamed about. But it's validating to hear others also having to reassure themselves on what they can tackle, day-to-day

@@blakewhite3131 im sorry to hear that. i think surrounding yourself with others (wether that be through friends or content you consume) helps normalize your struggles and making you be more empathetic towards yourself because those traits arent things you can control and arent something to be ashamed of!!

yeah, being called """high-functioning""" by others when I literally can't work is........an experience. I haven't heard the phrase higher-masking before but that really fits my experience too.

fated to be

You fulfilled the prophecy

Same, its really nice to hear other people talk about it! Mine got so intensely bad when i became an adult that it practically ruined my early 20's. Xolair has been such a lifesaver omg

@@jackal2654 oh man, mine was mainly bad in my childhood (elementary school was especially frustrating because kids didn’t understand it) but it’s mainly calmed down now besides the occasional flare up. I’m glad to hear something has been helping you too!

I’ve been dealing with it too. It’s absolute hell.

CIU is crazy horrible and it doesn't help that a lot of people can't understand how maddening it is to be itchy all the time so they don't take it seriously. My most recent flare up (a few years back), I spent months just listening to audiobooks so that I didn't have to move and make the itching worse. In the end it cleared up from a combination of omalizumab and IVIG but gods was it expensive. IIRC it's very rare for people to have a flare up last more than 2 years, but that's still far FAR too long. Also, I reckon it has a genetic component just based on looking at my own family history

Same 😩 I had an episode that lasted about a year, and had no idea it was chronic urticaria for months, none of my doctors even suggested it was that until I saw an allergist. I'm nervous about it coming back but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. Trying to be productive while your whole body is constantly itchy is horrible and I would not wish it on anyone.

same! mine's also been like ridiculously bad this winter, i swear to god there's actually something going on environmentally

@@cori742 FR

@@cori742 LITERALLY!! my eczema hasnt flared up in a few years but this winter it came back out of nowhere 😭

@@marisolbecerra06 fwiw, i finally got mine back under control by keeping it covered in organic cotton, as many layers as i could stand, and getting it damp first. every time the skin dries out it damages itself more, so anything you can do to make sure it doesn’t fully dry will help it to heal! coconut oil (and occasionally mct oil with lavender essential oil) was also a lifesaver 😫

@@cori742 thank you! for me personally aveeno lotion gets the job done, although it sounds like yours is a little more intense than mine lol

Man you’re so lucky. I’m in the same boat with anti histamines not working but I got a blood test and it showed xolair wouldn’t work for me either.

@@possumfrog i’m so sorry, hives are actually the worst. i spent so much time not being able to figure out what worked (every anti-histamine on the market, steroids, etc) and i could barely function. i hope it gets better for you

Heating pad and ice work for me! Also I’ve gotten prescription ointment. I’ve found lotion for bug bites or eczema helps too and helps keep me from scratching my skin off.

Oh my god I feel like no one has cold urticaria !! I had no idea what was wrong for the longest time it’s so frustrating when it gets to your fingers

I know. The executive function discussion got me on a Google deep dive. And an hour later while still watching the video I now have an appointment to possibly get diagnosed with ADHD.

I have mast cell activation syndrome and stress (good and bad) plays SUCH a big part of my symptom flares. Even just laughing too hard can trigger an asthma attack and a flare. So glad you got out of a stressful situation and found some symptom relief! ❤

Wait do I have ADHD lol
