You say you've read by clearly didn't understand. I'm not mad at myself. I did nothing wrong and have nothing to forgive myself for.
It isn't about if switching light bulbs hurts you. You have failed to properly take the perspective of someone with a real illness.
Every medical misinformation increases the search space for people who have real conditions they need help for. In that situation you are forced to pick at random and try it. Then you need to spend time collecting data to see if you've improved.
I could be rolling a 6 sided dice to hope to land on my real problem but instead I'm rolling a 12 sided dice. Statistically you've doubled the time I spend I'll sick until I figure out my problem. Those people with real issues are who get hurt.
For me it was 4 years of suffering while my life slowly fell apart because I was too sick to keep up. Constantly looking that is how long it took me to figure it out.
Most people don't have the scientific literacy I have and would have wasted even more time on BS like changing light bulbs.
Collectively across every sick person looking for a cure unknown but massive numbers of healthy years are being stolen from people. I'm not mad at myself for having my healthy time stolen. I'm mad at the people who stole it. I'm mad at the scale of suffering they cause. I'm mad at every complicit person who is self centered enough to say it doesn't hurt me to try it and spread it because I'm already healthy.
Right now, I'm mad at you for being a gaslighting prick trying to make it out to be my moral failing to want to help protect people who are suffering from people who are happily making it worse to line their own pockets.
I am genuinely sorry to hear you've struggled with health problems, but those problems are your own and there is no one else to blame.
Stay mad if you would like. That's the extent of the sympathy you'll be getting from me.
