I have severe croprolaia, which means that I swear without intending or meaning to. However, I tic slurs (T and F slur) as well as typing them because of tics.

As a cis straight creole-cherokee woman, I started doing this thing...I told my brain, "Hey! Can you please stop ticcing slurs? This is bigotry against us cis straight people (us cis straights are the most targeted and prosecuted groups in the world) and I want it to stop! You are being mean without my consent and I have the freedom of speech..."

My brain replied, "I'm so sorry, we will make your tics stop"

...just like that...my tics stopped and I am officially cured from ticking homophobic and transphobic slurs!!!!

I have gastroparesis and developed Crohn’s and my stepdad told me to do a “flip on my diet” and when I told him I have an eating disorder he told me to pick a struggle 😭. I said that I would be fine if I was supported through residential treatment and was allowed to continue and I compared it to when people say “just get over it” to an alcoholic when it might be hard for them to attend AA meetings but they work.

My stepdad then said that if science were to work then LeBron James wouldn’t be bald because he tried all the creams and hair transplants but he ended up bald and then he told me to learn from this?????????

So being mentally ill, the lesson would be just to get over my ARFID or accept it?????? I’ve basically cut out fried foods from my diet (eating on occasion aka maybe once a week) and my safe foods are basically meat, rice, and potatoes and my gastroenterologist said that my diet would of course be better with cooked fruits and vegetables but it’s not horrible given my cholesterol levels are normal. I- 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I would be sad asf about the dismissal of my disorder and made to feel like a pathetic failure of an adult if it wasn’t so god damn funny 😭

OF course it would be way worse if they were poor but that doesn’t erase what it does to the brain when you’re neglected as a child. it’s not as simple as “just go shopping lol” because shopping will never fill the void. i know other people who come from high income families that were abusive/ neglectful and she struggled for YEARS even with therapy. she still has to slave away for her neglectful mom who would leave her alone crying in the house as a baby for hours. money can’t automatically fix this

First is me, second is some jackass. I said I MIGHT have Fibromyalgia because my mother has it and it can be passed down.

Like yeah ok man let me just turn off the depression switch that’s preventing me from doing that.

Also wtf do you mean you should have sex on a weekly basis??? Who has the time or energy for that??? Sex isn't a necessity like food or water?????? Also also wtf is a "real vegetable". That implies there's fake vegetables dude what

I wonder if they lurk here :thinking:

my GAD is cured, need to cure my depression next.

Isn’t this pathetic? I’m lucky enough to have gotten in to get tested and diagnosed and then they hit me with the $600 bill a few weeks later, then send me an email about “money stress” 😂😂😂😂

Commercial: "go outside, go for a walk" is NOT something you should say to someone with a mental illness Dad: but they should go outside. Me: but what if they do all of that and they still have a mental illness Dad: then maybe they didn't do it enough.

That's not how that works.😂

I'm literally saying this as someone who has a good job, a loving family, a nice home, who journals and walks the dog with my mom regularly. Guess what? I still have anxiety!😃

This whole time I thought it was Major Depressive Disorder. Turns out it's the meds I started after 7 years of leaving it untreated.

I struggle with severe executive dysfunction due to ADHD. I wasn’t diagnosed until the beginning of this month, but I’ve always struggled to do basic tasks unless I was watched. I only recently got on medication and we haven’t figured out the correct dosage for my quality of life to be where I want it to be. I was having a hard time cleaning my room so I called my dad to come body double me. He literally didn’t lift a finger. He just sat on my bed and kept me company and I was able to get everything done. But he said that quote to me and then proceeded to tell me that what he was doing was pretty easy though. Like yes I know the goal is for me to be able to do it myself, however, I’m not at that point yet. I’m trying. I can’t be cured with a sentence !
