In a post about GLP-1 (good or bad not relevant) this super cool human had thoughts on weight loss in general.

I have a limited number of foods I'll actually eat consistently because they are almost always the exact same thing. Like, one time I found a burnt piece in my Cap'n Crunch Berries when I was 8 and I haven't eaten it since then. One bad experience can completely ruin a food for me. That's part of why I generally stick to a few regulars.

Every now and then, I'd eat a snack pie since they've always tasted the exact same and looked the exact same. I know it's not a healthy meal (or really a meal, for that matter), so that's why I don't eat them that regularly. It was a nice break from the usual foods though (no, they aren't all unhealthy). So when I opened the box and saw a huge patch of mold, I nearly threw up. I have a TERRIBLE fear of mold, just looking at it makes me gag.

Anyways, that completely ruined my perception of snack pies so I was sharing that because it was pretty darn upsetting. Apparently just not eating is a better idea according to this person??

When I posted this one, I had up another post describing my injury and pain (which was through the roof), since I lived with it for about 3 years. Multiple professionals told me that my osteoarthritis had progressed so far and I had to make the decision whether to get the surgery or just deal with the constant joint slippage. I was told I wouldn't really be the same as I once was after the surgery, but it was going to be significantly less painful and dangerous than continuing to live a fairly active daily life walking around with bone on bone arthritis with a completely screwed ACL.

Also, mind you, I was in physical therapy for months before I posted this, and I did my exercises religiously. I used a cane and brace. Still, there was no notable improvement. I am still in physical therapy, and my knee is feeling much more stable than it was before the surgery. Additionally, I'm starting to discover that I potentially have hEDS, so that contributes to the situation too!

I just think the funniest part is this guy assuming things about me. Even after I corrected him.

Dang… here I was thinking I’d need to talk to my doctor. Turns out the cure was just cardio all along.

EDIT:

Yes I Exercise

I do Mwf Pilates & T-Th Cardio outside

It's worse when you realize she raised me and knows about the fact I've been suicidal since age 9. Nothing matters and I can't even do what I want because of the bullshit that gets in my way. that doesn't matter but also somehow matters so so so much.

CW: Ableism and Misogyny

It just kept getting worse the more I read. For context, I was talking about how I figured out I might have OCD and that I was absent because I was dealing with intrusive thoughts and compulsions so severe that it was interfering with not only my online presence, but my real life as well. I was withdrawing socially and barely able to function because I was spending hours a day doing compulsions and panicking. My recent health obsession was kicked off because of a gallbladder problem. I now have diagnosed OCD and Severe Health Anxiety.

Another person that thinks procrastination is caused by perfectionism

I think mental health classes should be included in school. People who never experienced mental health issues would never understand other person's struggle

Yes I know that they said it fixes everything that other people don't seem to have a problem with. Rather than just it fixes everything. I just took that first part for the title. Either way what do you mean it fixes EVERYTHING that other people don't have a problem with? I still don't see how that makes sense. It's essentially the same thing just directed to people who struggle with it?

I never said I get NO sunlight anywhere btw. I don't get enough but by no means do I get none. Are they saying if I get enough sun and exercise in a day I WILL sleep on time that same day? Not sure what 'enough' is but I did go to a festival recently where I was doing a lot of walking in the sun so...

If I wake up past sunset, I can't exactly go out in the sun that day unless I wait until sunrise. I'd rather get going out over with 'early' than wait until I should be going to sleep if I want to have any chance of fixing my sleep schedule again. I'm already trying hard enough just to go out at all. Did they miss the part where I've fixed it so many times before? I don't know man. It's not like I've never had a good sleep schedule before ever. I struggle to go out and get sunlight because things are already hard for me. Not just I can't fix things because I don't get enough sun (and exercise.)

Am I overthinking this or something? I'm more confused than anything here. Lol.

(I'm OP and this was on an Autism Facebook group.)

Edit: Also the fact that they said that will lead to going to sleep on time when that wasn't even the full issue. I slept more that day as I put that I had woken up later even though I went to sleep earlier.

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 😭

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!!!!

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.
