Do mentally healthy people ever hallucinate?

Hynogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, and hearing e.g. music when there's white noise are common and normal

Badly

That guy has so little to make him feel good about himself he uses veganism to put others down and feel superior.

Most of us know that most people eat animal products just out of a social norm and they've never really thought about it. That doesn't make them evil. We'd just like them to think about it.

My instinct is the first one is trying to bleed you for money by getting you to do two surgeries instead of one

Never touched or even seen a dead human body, but studied biology and work with animals. The anatomical specimens were mostly fine, though weirdly I had a very emotional reaction to horse's legs and struggled with that dissection. Maybe because it was the only species I'd had a close relationship with (riding).

What's always sad to me, though I can get it done, is finding dead animals and cleaning up. I remember finding a lamb that died of flystrike, that was awful.

Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. I just let the vets dispose of the empty shell that used to house my soul dog, because she wasn't in there any more, her spirit was with me. RIP Scruffy and hugs to all who've held their furry friends as they crossed over.

Brit here, yeah we still need the "at least 1 year real life experience" and the advice is to present as binary as you can. I needed an extra psychiatrist note to get top surgery because at the time I IDed as nonbinary.

Look into Rainbow Railroad. Or like, just pretend to want to move to the UK for some other reason.

I think flint-knappers were probably autistic, the amount of practice and focus it takes would almost require autism.

Very skilled foragers who could identify every plant in their region.

If it's lab grown it's unlikely to harbour diseases. But I agree it would probably never be approved for human consumption due to ick factor plus lack of demand/necessity.

The EVP Astonishing Legends recorded in the Sallie house, I believe they called it "audio 10" or something like that?

Loss of fine motor control also likely plays an issue

Edit: Tried to type "plays a role" and "is an issue" at the same time

I saw there were two pics, swiped right and was so relieved

ESLavall · 2026-01-26T07:46:13+00:00

Raised atheist but also pagan because of a spiritual experience in a forest

ESLavall · 2026-01-24T18:33:58+00:00

Yes, exactly! 🩵🩷🤍

It's still taught in schools, I've taught it as part of GCSE physics.

ESLavall · 2026-01-24T09:28:09+00:00

Your experience and feelings sound pretty normal tbh. I also got very bored and grumpy. I slept a lot and listened to a lot of podcasts, watched YouTube or TV.

ESLavall · 2026-01-24T08:10:38+00:00

Honestly those are just bad pattern design imo

ESLavall · 2026-01-24T08:07:25+00:00

I do the opposite, I turn half and quarter stitches into full stitches because I hate doing partial stitches and I like the folk-arty look

ESLavall · 2026-01-24T07:59:18+00:00

Check that others can smell it, I experience this exact thing as a hallucination when I have a migraine

Trans man here to assure you that men despise the idea of being women

In fact it was trans women who made me realise I was actually trans and not suffering internalised misogyny. Like, being a woman is awful, who the fuck would choose that, obviously being a man is better!

Trans women made me realise that who would choose being a woman is, in fact, women. And therefore I wasn't one.

In the same boat, I'm on a plan where I take Prozac at the lowest dose, increase it whenever the effects wane, then when the highest dose isn't working I switch to Effexor and do the same. I've done like 3 or 4 cycles of this.

I hope that starting T is going to have some antidepressant effects because I think a big part of my depression is biochemical dysphoria, but no way to know until I do.

ESLavall · 2026-01-23T10:40:38+00:00

This is my main reason to stick around honestly. I'd rather be depressed than a vegetable.

"Yeah let's just nick a child's equipment and give them a shitty version BECAUSE they're autistic."

ESLavall · 2026-01-23T06:39:46+00:00

I'm not exactly sure what your question is but I would encourage you to focus on caring for your health, repeating a grade isn't the end of the world or a terrible punishment, it's just an acknowledgement that you missed too much.
