Also if your vegan, you need the meat vitamins to be healthy and if you’re not vegan you should definitely go vegan because of the meat inflammation.
That’s my mother in a nutshell.
TBI when I was 7, surgery was scheduled to reduce swelling on my brain, and she instead opted to feed me smoothies of nothing but raw spinach and water. Also took me to some kind of new age healer.
So yeah, thanks mom.
Jesus. That’s medical neglect :(
It certainly was.
Much worse is that she wasn’t just some dyed in the wool hippie, but a fairly well known microbiologist. So she had at least a passing acquaintance with the scientific method.
At least she got me vaccinated.
Or my mom trying to cure my autism with a gluten free diet and trying to prove my incompetence to everyone (including my primary and high school) even when I explicitly asked her not to. Definitely better than your example, but I’m really looking forward to fucking off to college and hopefully never returning home.
Definitely strains of my stepdaughter and her son.
I don’t know if/where he is on the spectrum, though there’s definitely a dash of undiagnosed bipolar with a heavy dose of self medication now. But as a kid, his rage issues were attributed to a WIDE variety of causes:
- autism
- oppositional defiance disorder
- ADHD
- gluten allergy
- some sort her doctor ordered during her c-section
- etc
Ignoring that most of it stemmed from abandonment issues with her. She only paid attention when he had a meltdown, so he very quickly figured out that it was the surefire way to get something from her.
All so she could feel less guilty about being a miserable parent. Yay.
Yeah, disown them! Fuck those bastards!
THE REAL ANSWER IS EXERCISE ITS ALWAYS EXERCISE IM EVEN MORE UPSET THAN YOU ARE AAAARGH FUCK EXERCISE AND ITS MEASURABLE QUALITY OF LIFE BENEFITS ARRRGH
Sending love <3. Yeah society and healthcare still really favors immediate care over chronic illnesses even though the majority of adults have a chronic illness and chronic illnesses are major players in suffering and dying. I hope you found/will find a good self-advocacy group!
Omg it’s Edna from Edna bricht aus 😯 big fan
:3
I have a chronic but minor health condition that doesn’t come up much and the other day was treated to something like this by none other than the threadiverse’s first. I expected better for some reason.
You gotta tune that shit out.
Have you tried Yoga?
My meditation: “oh powers that be, give me the strength not to slap this bitch”
I watched that burn in person
