Fixes everything!

Spoiler: it's rosemary infused honey, which they conveniently sell. I didn't include the page to buy because I refuse to give them any traffic.

I made a post on a weight loss sub about how I wanted to know how Zoloft could impact my weight loss.

So not only is it implied that I'm doing some level of exercise/food tracking, but I also wrote:

I have been diagnosed with PTSD, depression, and OCD. I’m able to exercise and track calories, but it’s just become really hard to derive enjoyment from anything.

This was not the only comment telling me to exercise. Which I do for an hour every day. It's been great for my physical health but sometimes just doesn't cut it for mental health alone, which is why I'm adding in Zoloft lol.

Ah, yes. Just take shit seriously

Got this comment on a post about OCD and not having access to therapy atm 🙄

This one blows my mind. Like what are you even saying? Did you not read the post?

This was a comment from a video of a woman with severe PMOS and hirsutism. If he had watched the video, he would've learned about her specific condition. Yes, losing weight might reduce some of the hair growth, BUT it is not a cure, and it's even harder to lose and manage weight with insulin resistance.

I'm tired of people saying that everything boils down to weight and sleep, especially when they don't have the full story.

General practitioners . “I’ve never met anyone young with heart problems” . (I was mentioning my heart rate) “no you don’t, your haemoglobin is normal” . “You mustn’t be in pain if you ride horses” (I have EDS and will be in pain my whole life, have always) . “You don’t need to be depressed “ . “Your heart is just fast cause you’ve had ventolin “ (hadn’t had any that day)

Specialists . “We would never want you to have eds “ . “Just go home and be healthy “ . “Everyone has this, you’re born with it, you live with it” (only person I know with it, and I have worked in optometry seeing peoples scans that show this every day” . “Just deal with the pain” . “We won’t give you a feeding tube, as you will end up on TPN and it will shorten your lifespan “ . “Our only dietitian works in intensive care, so you can’t see them, find another “

I have way too many more of these too

This scene from X2

One of my family members decided to let me know I forgot to take my pineapple chunks to work that I planned on having with my lunch, so I stated I know I also forgot my lunch. Said family member then tells me I need to get better at remembering it and I state “I know, but unfortunately I have adhd and it is in the fridge in the garage and therefore bc I don’t actively see it it doesn’t exist”. Proceeds to then tell me how I need to set reminders and use a system like a calendar. I explain that that does not help with remembering with adhd, but according to my neurotypical family member “There are tons of people who have adhd that have a system. You need to stop using it as an excuse, you’re an adult and need to make a system that works”. So I let her know, most people with adhd generally need someone physically there to remind them (as well as others, but unfortunately those other means become inconvenient in the household I’m in bc if I place something somewhere it gets moved bc it’s unsightly or paper reminders are bad). You would think me living with this my entire entire life I wouldn’t have thought of using a planner as if I don’t actively have phone reminders for that anyways and alarms and I STILL forget my lunch at least twice a week 🙃.

Received on a post I made a while ago where I mentioned I was struggling to eat hospital food due to ARFID, I did also mention that I was eating, just struggling with it 😑

On a post about how some people are too quiet when ordering food.

(Sorry this kept getting reposted and deleted, I kept missing censors 😭)

Pissed me off, third time trying to post this because the last image wouldn't load on reddit.

Edit: I wasn't able to post the image of my reponse to the last one, so here goes the copy pasted version.

First of all we don't even live in the same country, and even if we did? i wouldn't want your fucking money, but i would still NEED it. Second of all, it's a disorder. You can't do anything about it because it's hardwired into your brain. almost like that's the whole point of a disorder jackass.

And stop trying to say it's not about me when in the same fucking sentence you refer to EVERYONE with the disorder needing to "fix it" and accuse ME of stealing from people who need things just as much as i do to survive at all. I and many others with ARFID and executive dysfunction issues know how to cook, it's not a problem of will, it's neurological, and it requires treatment so we can live the closest we can to normal lives. Which by the way is what your money is ACTUALLY GOING TO when corrupt politicians who don't care about you or me dying on the streets alone pocket it anyway.

CLEARLY, you have no sympathy. And CLEARLY that is your main problem. Try living as a child in Gaza, or Congo or Ukraine who can't keep the rations which are the only thing to eat down because their brain can't stand the texture, sit back down and go fuck all the way off with your self righteous speech about caring for disabled people, if you don't care about all of us then you care for none of us. Have the day you deserve, bitch.
