Mental Health

Ha been there too, my doctor hates me. I’m always asking for allsorts of tests, I’ve even been asking for prostate tests for prostate enlargement or cancer even though it’s rare at my age. The mind can make you do strange things, I find it a little scary if I’m being honest.

I hate it when you’re watching tv or playing a game and some brand new illness comes up you’re not familiar with and the first thing I do is go look it up on google to see if I can get it

I’ve been playing a game recently and the character you play as gets TB, when it happened not only was I devastated for the character I was like ‘well shit, how does one get that then?’ Luckily it’s not so bad these days.

Yep shit got real after that ‘scene’. Makes you wonder how people managed in times before the medical advances we have today. Don’t think me and you would enjoy it much!

Still, at least they didn’t have the internet to tell them they had ulecerative Collitis every time they got the shits so swings and roundabouts I guess

You’re most welcome, have a good sleep!

I'm looking toward Anthem.

Seems like you only follow the mainstream narrative (since they love fear porn). Go to YouTube and learn to figure out the disingenuous crowd from real deal. When it comes to comes to listening to the authorities or everyday people like you an I....

And before complaining that YouTube is a bad source of information, know that you can learn just about everything on YouTube these days (how to cook, repair vehicles, get unstuck in videogames). Think about it, when was the last time anyone went to GameFAQs over YouTube for getting unstuck or finding an item in a videogame?

For anybody who does suffer with health anxiety/hypochondriasis who might get a little offended by this, it’s worth pointing out this person ‘believes’ that the earth is flat.

But then again I’m just a slave to the narrative.

Well I'll then apologize for any offense. None was intended.

And maybe you should research flat Earth. That way you'll realize there's no lie big enough, thus free you from this confinement. Alas, starting with flat Earth is to much cognitive dissonance to slaves of the narrative (no offense, we've all been there). Start smaller and work your way up. My journey started with looking into and practicing alternative health.

No problem, I shouldn’t be bringing up other threads that have nothing to do with this as some sort of point scoring exercise that was bad form on my part.

I guess I’m just wary that I started this thread and if it devolves into slanging matches about treatment methods/the finer details of mental illness and someone ends up getting triggered by it then that’s all on me and I don’t need that guilt. I just wanted people to feel like they weren’t alone and there was a place they could share their experiences so to speak.

It’ll be fine, if anybody gets a bit rowdy I’ll send DragonKingReborn round to insert his Kermit puppet right up their back passage. 

So.... The inmates are having a respectful intelligent conversation, and the mods come in and warn us?

Please help me understand this. You folks are really pushing.

The good thing is, if it gives anyone PTSD then at least they’re in the right thread
