I didn't ask for the frikin advice... You have no idea about my life or why it happened. Do you even know how unhinged you are?
This is mental health support community so please go away and bother someone else
All I want is a bit of validation and support and not some fucking 'experts' theoretising shit knows what based on few lines of text and no details whatsoever
If you don't know how to do it then just be quiet
The reason I suggested it is because it sounded similar to my situation and seeking treatment has made things so much better. Of course, I could be totally wrong about what the cause is, but I can assure you it's not normal and something is behind this.
I know it's not normal I mean my dad who I had to save died from a brain virus that turned them into literal living zombie pissing and shitting under themselves and begging to be put out of misery. I imagine you can have problems swallowing in such situation, don't you think?
So if you really wanted to know that, ta-dah this is the fucking reason Dr House
I didn't post this to hear from some Lupuses about why I should be grateful for some random people to tell me what I should do or not but I just wanted a little bit of empathy, validation and support
I think that you may want to take a break from Lemmy and cool off. I'm sorry that you didn't get what you wanted out of this post but try coming back to it with a fresh perspective later. I hope things get better for you.
It just wasn’t a good idea to post anything about personal mental health online, like why would I do that? Never do that this is a rookie mistake. You just open yourself to be vulnerable to be stabbed by random sensation seekers passing by. Stupid and basic mistake. Nothing good ever comes out of it
I thought one could count on some supportive comments but like apparently this is too much and only 'well meaning' experts show up that would be better off to cease their Krebs cycle to not waste ATP
I think you're right, you're not ready to post this online. You should probably get actual professional help. Take care of yourself.
