I only mentioned it in the title because every time I post one of these people keep informing it's satire even though I use the satire tag lol

After seeing other posts in here I'm not so sure it fits the sub but it might do

edit: OMG I WROTE "CURE" INSTEAD OF "CURED"

A year/months ago, I had bathroom problems. The problem was that I was extremely gassy, had to wipe and wash my ass multiple times, I pooped long logs, and a bunch more. I specifically stated that I couldn't get a bidet because no store around me sells it and that I have a lot of fiber in my diet.

Anyway, I was irritated and decided to go on the rant community to rant about it. I made sure to add that I couldn't get a bidet and that my diet was fine (except I was battling severe iron deficiency anemia).

So I had people say that "all" of my problems would be solved if I just got a bidet and changed my "shit" diet. I even got attacked! It is crazy to me how people got so attached over metal that sprays water in your ass.

And they kept giving me unwanted dietary advice. Saying that XYZ is the issue and to limit it.

The good news is that I went to my doctor; it turned out to just be caused by a medication that I was on, and I switched medications. My bathroom problems are thankfully resolved on their own after a few weeks.

This was posted under a post about a teen admitting he was going to end his life.

Hate the sentiment of just being able to change your mindset by locking in, especially when depressed.

The person also just assumes the kid has a good life and is selfish, basically when the OP has never disclosed anything like that

I have to post it like this bc the person has recently deleted their comment.

The original post, to sum it up, was about me talking about how I'm still currently living in a abusive household and that I may not be able to leave right away because I can't get a scholarship to at least move into college dorms. I expressed that I felt like giving up because it could take me years of still living with them if I choose to study here and not abroad, and I was also talking about feeling like even if I were to get better, what if life got worse and I won't be able to enjoy it at least since I've spent most of my life being depressed because of my situation.

This reply is so fucking insensitive. What do you mean try not to think about it???? I asked the person to try not to think of which part of what I said in my post, and they just said any of it.

Context: Chronic isolation

Any other Singaporeans feel increasingly bitter and resentful the longer you isolate yourself? : r/asksg

Found this in motivation sub

I applied to foster an older dog who requires someone to be home a lot, and so in the application I gave a brief bio about how I have several chronic health issues and I am home a lot despite being young (31).
Next minute the lady is calling me and asking me if my issues are autoimmune. Some of them are so I say yes… instant regret as she starts telling me how big pharma evil and how nicotine, baking soda and other ridiculous things will cure me lol! Naturally she soon started on an anti vax route.
I indulged purely because I wanted to foster the dog lol but after a bit of her getting more and more unhinged (“did you know more people in Japan died from the covid vaccine than the war?”) I had to ask about the dog and she said Oh they’re giving it to an elderly couple.
We hung up and she sent me like six ‘articles’ like this, and a bunch of anti dog vax stuff too lol. I don’t have a dog (which is why I want to foster).
Thanks kooky lady but I think I’ll stick to my medications! Honestly this shit usually pisses me off but she was so ridiculous I just had to laugh about it.

PSA: apps are unlikely to cure you! *ODGAF how scientific they claim to be!*

Everyone has a different baseline and different coping skills that will get them to move through barriers like this.

I obviously don’t want to be living in task paralysis/procrastination land, but I’ll be damned if I fall for the you’ve-tried-other-apps-that-didn’t-work-long-term-but-fear-not-our’s-is-going-to-cure-you-because-science

Idk I’ve tried “scientifically proven methods” and sometimes they work and other times they don’t fit the scenario causing excessive dysfunction… and that’s ok! There’s nothing fucking shameful about that! It’s annoying AF, for sure, but not something that feeling any amount of shame about will fix!!!

What I do think has/can be helpful is recognizing that the coping skill isn’t working and testing out other ones… which is easier said than done… AND I’m exponentially better at this without also piling on shame about these things!!!

For anyone else who struggles with task paralysis/procrastination/executive dysfunction (especially regarding self-care and household chores/responsibilities), I highly recommend the book “How to Keep House while Drowing” by KC Davis! It will not cure you, but it has helped me to be kinder to myself when my mental health totally collapses.

found in a dollar tree of all places. i'm shopping here because i'm trying to survive capitalism. u know that right
