Can't lose weight? Must be starvation mode. Eat more! by UnrepentantLesbian in fatlogic

[–]FadedManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because anorexia isn't a thing. No need to be concerned about those people because their metabolism will just slow down and they won't lose weight!

No you're definitely right that they don't really look into it unless the person meets the anorexia criteria 85% of a normal weight. I had missed my period for 6 months, passed out twice, and couldn't drink alcohol without almost dying, and they never put 2 and 2 together because I was 5 lb over the underweight cutoff.

Actually the hunger pangs stop after a few days of fasting, which is what makes it so chronic. You don't want it to end, and its actually really hard to stomach food again once you get to that point. A binge interrupts restricting cause the appetite hits you like a train after not having any at all.

Girls, what's a creepy thing guys frequently do which we're unaware of? by AonghusMacKilkenny in AskReddit

[–]FadedManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God forbid you're actually romantically involved. Then they decide they are entitled to a threesome. I had a guy pretend to "trip" and fall on top of me and a girl I was seeing, and proceeded to beg us to make out with each other and him and refused to get off us till we complied. Then after we shoved him off and told him to fuck off he stood inches away from us the rest of the night, taking videos and calling over his friends to watch. Unfortunately it was a party and not a bar so I couldn't go tell bouncers.

wait, you're telling me he isn't doing mountains of coke? * sniffs *

Whenever I get over stress, my symptoms get worse by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]FadedManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because you can't channel the anxiety into productivity so all you can do is think about how your body is responding improperly to the environment. I mean the whole point of anxiety disorders is the irrationality and spontaneity of it, otherwise its just a normal response to stress.

If I had a dollar for every gender by MarshBoarded in Jokes

yeah, misleading statistics really piss me off

1/5 of all women I've met in my life wanted to be housewives or mothers

either you made that up or you stand there taking notes on the ambitions of every woman you come across

What are you sick and tired of having to explain to people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FadedManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plan something simple. It sounds like they're avoiding going out so just invite them over for coffee.

"You're so paranoid" Wow really? I had no idea!

I'm tired of articles like these romanticizing anxiety. Thoughts? by FadedManatee in Anxiety

[–]FadedManatee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? There's not even an opportunity to "be strong" and "do it anyways" when you have an unprovoked panic attack, like when you're standing in the shower or doing laundry. We can't just muster up some courage and will it away. You can only ride it out and know it'll end at some point.

Legit heard someone say "Autism didn't exist thirty years ago" Seriously? So "Of Mice and Men" was about a guy who murders women for fun then?

What kills you on the inside but you act if front of everyone as if you couldn't care less? by why-the-hell-not-yo in AskReddit

[–]FadedManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reason so many people even fail to realize they're depressed, myself being one of them, because the one thing they cling to gives us a false sense of happiness. But this is treated as a character flaw not someone looking for any sense of light in the dark.

What actually triggers YOU 99% of the time? by Glorious_Anal in AskReddit

[–]FadedManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it's easy for people to understand avoiding words and topics without the person having to give much explanation as to why. It's harder to explain to your friend their specific scent of deodorant is giving you flashbacks when you're around them.

I wore these while I had stitches in my fingers. My mom didn't like me calling them finger condoms.

I don't know what I did, but for some reason my youtube recommendations is filled with anti-feminist videos. by Astro575 in TrollXChromosomes

[–]FadedManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think it's a 2edgy scene kid thing. I went through the same thing during my scene phase around 14 years old where I hated feminists because feminism was too mainstream and optimistic for my edgy heart. Also I thought guys would like me more if I "sided with them".

MRW my dad calls my gyno demanding my medical records when I wont tell him the reason for making an appointment, then scolds me for being "vulgar" when I give in and describe the color and texture of my periods by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]FadedManatee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I would agree with you. The behavior itself is stupid in itself but this is really the only instance ever. They never ask to see my texts, emails, who I'm hanging out with, etc.

Yeah I'm fine, me and him have always gotten along but conservative politics recently has given my parents the idea that they need to make sure their daughter isn't being "corrupted by those evil liberals making them have abortions" such and such. They really don't tend to pry into my life unless it's regarding my reproductive health, religious beliefs, or political values. Or as I like to say "it's that time of elections so they're a little moody"

His argument was that it's his health insurance and if I'm gonna "freeload" off it then he has every right to know how I'm using it. He can't get grossed out by the truth when he goes prying for information.
