...See more Hello everyone!! So, maybe this isn't the place to post this, but I don't know where else could something like physical health go since I'm still getting used to this platform. Anyways, since I was a kid I had these weird pains on the left side of my chest, I can't really describe them, but they were really but it was a strong, stabbing pain that made me stop what I was doing for a few seconds and take a deep breath. When I took a deep breath the pain grew, but immediately afterward it went away. Over time it became less and less noticeable, only once in a while it came back like a strong stab. For a few days now I have been feeling discomfort in the same area, the left side of my chest. Sometimes it feels like throbbing pain and I have to breathe to make it go away, or I try to burp to see if it's gas. When I breathe very deeply, a minimal pain is felt, as if it were barely visible, also when I laugh. At night, it has happened to me that being on my back made me uncomfortable when sleeping. The best way I can picture it, It's like I have something under my left breast, right underneath, I don't know if it's an air bag or what. What do you think it could be? My sister who has studied medicine, told me it probably was just gases... But I just want some more opinions

I think I set myself an emotional trap

...See more Hello, everyone. 👋I'm new here. Hope all of you are doing well! I just needed to vent a little about something that's been over my mind these days. So, I have a good support system, wich I know is a luxury in these days and I am truly grateful for that. My problem is, I think I set myself in a bad cycle. Every time something bothers me, even if it's small, if I'm a little anxious, annoyed, sad,etc. I will rely on them. Ask advice, or just vent to them like I'm doing right now. And I know that that in itself isn't bad but I think I'm in a point where I can't help myself anymore. Like I got this addiction to being helped? Or like now I get bad for miniscule stuff, ridiculous even and I can seem to think rationally until I talk to them and I realize "wow I did overreact or overthink that". Right now, for example, I've been so irritated and angry by the most stupid things, and it shows, I know it shows, but I have no real clue to why. I just have this bad mood. Is it possible that I got stuck in a cycle of getting my mind and emotions in trouble so that I can feel good after being supported? Is it possible that I became addicted to a victim mentality and self pity?  If so, how can I get out of it? I don't want to be a burden, or become the type of person that always demands too much from people and does nothing to change their current situation... Have you ever felt something similar? How are you processing it? Sorry for the mistakes I haven't practiced my English in a while
