I woke up at 8am and dealt with the crazy dog owners. she even said that she worried that her future brother-in-law would come to my house with a gun to shoot Shadow because of all the trouble Shadow is causing. she said she wanted to bring the police with her to my house as an escort just in case her brother-in-law followed her to my house with the gun. So, after she came alone to get the dog I stayed up for a little bit. I went to bed around 3pm and woke up at 5pm. It’s now 8:49pm and I’m still dead tired. I’ve got to go back to bed even for a little bit. I’ve got one load of laundry done and one to put in the dryer still. i took out the trash and pretty much that is it for me today. I’m exhausted and I can’t get my energy back.
One thing I’ve noticed about when I’m triggered by something is this stupid hiccup response. It use to be that when I walked into the restroom I started to hiccup, shortly after I left it stopped. This use to happen when I went into the kitchen during times I was struggling with the whole binge purge thing. Now, with these stupid ass people I’ve started the same dang on hiccup response. I hardly ever have the hiccups UNLESS i am triggered. I’m not sure if the exhaustion has anything to do with all of the drama this week end. Good Lord, I wonder if the last 2 weeks of nothingness were to prepare me for the therapy session I had followed by the maniacs and their little dog this week end. Jiminy Cricket. Then Mrs.R called but guess who didn’t answer the phone? Me!! That’s right! Morton says we’re finished with her and that we do not talk to her any longer so we did not answer the phone the same as we don’t answer for other people that just don’t know how to keep their boundaries.
I’ve gotta get some rest and hope beyond hope that this nausea calms down.

Hi Austin,
Thanks for your help on my site. I found your post about hiccup triggers interesting. I know it’s not the same but I know how irritating triggered hiccups can be, mines afood trigger, almost every time I eat a solid (not shreaded) raw carrot I get hiccups. And I of course love to cruch raw carrots.
I thought I was the only person in the world that gets hiccups every time I eat raw carrots!!!
Everyone in my office thinks I’m crazy, I’m so glad you guys get carrot hiccups too!
I just did a google search for “carrot hiccups” and came up with this blog. After a 2 year-hiatis, my carrot-induced hiccups just came back. It’s trigged by any kind of carrots (cooked or raw). Sometimes I’ll even be eating a pureed soup and will identify carrots as one of the ingredients simply by the fact that I get the hiccups. I discovered this when a flute teacher told me to eat carrots to help my nerves before a performance… needless to say, this turned out to be a bad idea…
I can’t believe this is as common a problem as it is! I just got some carrots out of the fridge and when I started hiccuping I ran to the computer determined to find out if other people have this issue. We should start a support group
It’s a relief to know I’m not alone in my plight, although I do feel a bit less unique now. Yesterday I was eating a piece of raw turnip and that gave me hiccups too. Does anyone know the cause?
I get carrot hiccups too! I was just looking online for a medical explanation, and never imagined I was not alone… This is funny.
I thought I was the only one that got the hiccups while eating carrots! I can only eat one or two and then they start!
I too, get hiccups whenever I eat a raw carrot. Always have. Can’t, for the life of me, figure out why. No one knows. What’s up with this?!?
what is going on here? every time i eat raw carrots i get hiccups, and apparently others do as well! how crazy! my ex husband used to say it was all in my head.
ME TOO!
I also get hiccups when i eat raw carrot and so does my mum, we were talking about it the other day and i decided to see if it was ‘normal’ haha this is funny!!
This is too funny!! Everyone in my office laughs at me as well whenever I start my carrot induced hiccups! I am having an episode right now and decided to finally look this up to see what is going on!
i’m hiccuping as I type this because of stupid raw carrots. does anyone know why this is???? Its’ everytime, for years! i thought i was weird too lol
I, too get carrot-related hiccups. Too bad, as I love them. I suspect it’s a lot more common than we think… who would ever admit to having them, or even thinking it was a common ailment?
