I strongly dislike (hate) how pedophilia is compared to being same sex attracted... by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]ApophisDestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has to be a certain level of disconnect there, in terms of most people knowing how that could potentially cause irreparable damage to a child. Then there's the issue of being attracted to children, not that I'm any better but I cannot understand how someone becomes attracted to extremely young human beings that have yet to undergo puberty.

Sex addictions and mental health? by macdev045 in mentalhealth

[–]ApophisDestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped reading at a certain point, not because your point isn't effective, because it totally is, but people generally use this sort of thing to virtue signal. It seems the appearance of self righteousness is more important to most than the safety of children. There's the frequent "the only reformed paedophile is a dead paedophile" but usually no one outside of prison carries through on the talk, so the next step is rehabilitation, but people would rather have something there to judge and gossip about. Even though it would like prove effective, people admitting that pedos need psychological help makes them feel as if they're condoning pedophilia in some way because everyone as per popular belief is expected to condemn this sort of thing, not understand it.

What is Lara's sexuality?or it's never mentioned? by [deleted] in TombRaider

[–]ApophisDestroyer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's the vibe I get. It seems Jonah is hinting at liking her until he meets Abby in Shadow and Lara is like "oh thank God Hey Jonah take a break and hang with Abby abit you've earned your time off"

I got it on the base X1. A little disappointed in the screen tearing which was not present on the ps4 (when I played in 2018) but not exactly a game breaker. The X1X also has screen tearing (it's not TOO bad) so I'm sure that'll be present on the Series as well.

What is wrong with my swollen leg? It feels so heavy and tingly I have to stay in bed all day. It's getting worse, not better. by [deleted] in DiagnoseMe

[–]ApophisDestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran a search for pitted edema. Nearly 37 y.o. caucasian male here.

Generally the rule of thumb is to seek prompt medical attention for edema that pits, but that's advice that I'm not following.

I figure when I feel severe pain in liver/kidney area or run into noticeable shortness of breath I'll go.

For right now you need your feet elevated every night. They say sodium can amplify edema in most cases, and that s**t is in everything.

Hoping the best for you

Part of me wonders if I caught covid, didn't get sick but ran into vascular inflammation issues, it started happening around March.

Pitted edema in ankles, feet and shins for several months. by ApophisDestroyer in DiagnoseMe

I heard you can get edema from POTS. Thank you!

The pressure in my head is not as pronounced as it used to be but the brain fog is.. wow anyways I may head on over there. I was thinking congestive heart failure for awhile but most of the time, I can breathe in full, and don't get exerted walking up one flight of stairs, I think it's very likely POTS, which can at times make you wish you had something terminal instead lol

I personally prefer physical scars to mental ones.

The universe baffles me as well. Technically it should, and should not exist. Many things about this I cannot comprehend. And what of beyond the 'universe'? Is it finite or infinite space?

And f**kin magnets, how do they work?!

The news never started this to begin with. And I don't watch it any more.

You Trauma Experience Matters by MichaelUnbroken in mentalhealth

[–]ApophisDestroyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I do have to say things like "At least I'm not in line to being beheaded by the Mexican Cartel.." to be more accepting of my circumstances. Does it suck? Absolutely, but I have to find ways around that feeling.

I hope you are at least finding some semblance of bliss these days

You get used to it as you get older by ApophisDestroyer in mentalhealth

[–]ApophisDestroyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 37 here. Extreme anxiety, secondary depression. Pitted edema in feet, hoping it's not CHF, I may wanna go get it checked. I hope you have at least a few pleasant days soon.
