The amount of people that expect a doctor to fix their chronic ailments miraculously with no effort or responsibility on their part is rapidly becoming repulsive to me.
"It can't be my fault. I'm a good person. This pain is unbearable and must stop. But I won't change how I live."
I do this to an extent, but don't complain too much about it because I know that all my issues are my own fault from decades of abuse to my body and mind.
Been noticing a lot of the women I’m dating lately are on antidepressants and it’s concerning how normalized it has become.
I am actually putting that on my list of things that are becoming a hard no because they have extreme consequences later on and I see it as a sign of not being a functional human being and I can't be around that ever again.
Easy no. They will become different off meds same as they morph on meds
Yup. They should be open to different approaches. If they aren't, can 'em.
Well, I don't have a queue in line to date me, so it is all moot and existential at this point. 🤣🤣🤣
Pretend you do lol! It'll do wonders.
How?
When you respect yourself and are comfortable just being by yourself, it attracts people. And it also puts you in the mindset of "I'm not gonna take any shit or compromise with anybody." You'll cooperate, but never sacrifice a core value. You'll know that you don't need to.
I don't respect myself at all. I don't take crap from anyone, though. I know I'm an odd duck. 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome, you're on the right track. Work on the former part. Don't even take crap from yourself. A really exceptional partner can help you develop that in yourself, but you have to do most of the work even then. So start now, and the bitches will come soon enough.
Nope
Too lazy. So, I'm resigned to being alone.
Completely fair
I would certainly do that as well. I'll need to put that on a list of no-nos that are non-negotiable.
Also anti anxiety meds
For sure seen both. Sleeping meds seem to be really bad too.
Yeah. Well nearly any big pharma drug is bad for people. I'm trying to get my dad to change his diet and GTF off of the statins and blood thinners he's on. His brain is being eroded and it pisses me off. He's a sad shell of the man he used to be.
Just don't date women
Change your behaviors
I don't wonder why at all.

Wow wow wow this was so good I’ve never seen this before. My mind is blown
Explains a lot doesn't it.
I already knew that early in the Weimar hyperinflation spiral the news was constantly celebrating new all time highs for the stock market, which sounds familiar.
Now we know why people still working feel things are horrible, we are living through another great depression.
If you buy that hopelessness causes drug and alcohol addiction, which I do based on personal experience, then the epidemic of deaths of despair is completely explained.
Are you the common denominator? 😏 🤣 ⭕
It’s probably the dating apps 😂
Nope. It's way deeper than that.
I mean it’s probably that I’m finding the crazy girls are on dating apps because the ones that aren’t crazy are already in relationships lol
Yup. All the sane women I've come across are all spoken for. And I tend to ask them if they have any sane female relations/friends, and nope. 🤷♂️
I wasted the last 20 years of my life and this is the result. I will eat the cake I baked.
I've lost friends that chose to go that route because their personality changed and were no longer the same person.
My ex. Antidepressants and reinforced delusions ruined the good that was in her.
Really sad how much damage big pharma has done to the world
Yup.
It’s not just big pharma. They are complicit, but it’s decades of marketing and societal norms around the quick and as you said above a lack of effort and discipline.
Get off your ass
Eat less
Move more
They are complicit because they are sheep. That’s what they do.
"A lot of the women I'm dating lately"
Finally someone said it
I'm not the first. I won't be the last, especially not on Nostr.
We've been saying things like this for yeeaarrsss
I tell people I feel better going to bed and getting up at the same times every day, and not to drink coffee as a replacement for lost sleep.
They say, "You're mean! I need my coffee!"
I tell people I eat mostly meat and veggies that don't contain starch to keep my diabetes at bay and that we shouldn't be scared of fatty foods, and I hear, "You're a food nazi!"
I swear by taking lots of breaks from social media and doing other things/going outside. They say, "Reee! Someone is wrong on the internet! I need to correct them!"
Yup. My mom is still pissed I'm not on FB anymore.
modernity requires many adjustments from humans. it isn’t reasonable to expect people to not use them
what about birth complications? do you expect the mother and child to just fight it off?
Just do cognitive behavioral reprogramming.
Your thoughts influence your emotions which influence your decisions and behaviour, which has consequences, which causes negative thoughts.
But you can control your thoughts, it just takes attention. Break the cycle.
Ask yourself why do I think that, does this resentment or anger or anxiety serve me?
Look inward. Accept the past and move on.
Focus on being mindful and remember how blessed you are, there is a refugee camp in Sudan with 30 thousand people and the children living there have never seen apples before those children eat oats, no milk, oats in hot water, for breakfast every day, providing by charities and volunteers.
Then for dinner each night, oats, in hot water.
Whenever you feel like god hates you or your life is bad just remember how privileged we actually are.
That's what I think anyway
No one wants to do the PoW, it's too hard because takes real energy.
In today's society, energy usage is frowned upon. Most of the solutions to perceived problems are PoS. No energy and no work, just consensus and make belief that something is true.
"Why do I feel tired and in pain all the tiiiiimeeee?!" followed by stuffing Doritos and cookies down their gullets and chasing it with Frappuccinos.
Mostly, yes.
this is why I want to become a naturopath. Teaching people exactly this and supporting them on their journey 💚
Lol every day in the emergency department
