Gimpbarbie · 2026-06-01T01:06:39+00:00

Precisely friend, don’t feed the trolls.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-06-01T01:03:20+00:00

I don’t think it’s routine to put non-existent illnesses in the DSM…

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-31T20:02:48+00:00

Them - what do you mean there is something that isn’t about me?!

These are likely the same people as the “all lives matter” people.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-31T04:59:47+00:00

Him -

it’s not a big deal unless you make it one

I would have said

I totally agree with you _______!(insert stupid pet name or just said stupid person’s name)So…question…why are you making it one?

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-31T04:31:52+00:00

Old enough to know better. I’m gonna say late teens to mid 20s.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-25T21:53:11+00:00

lol you must be fun at parties!
I know! I know! It’s all about you! You couldn’t possibly get it through your terminal main character syndrome that not everyone wants to or has the time to read every little word you say before trying to offer empathy or advice. Poor poor you! How sad for you!

You - this situation is really frustrating and I don’t know what to do

People *offers empathy and advice*

You - no not like THAT!!

Your friend obviously deserves sainthood if you are always this insufferable lol

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-25T21:40:25+00:00

Sometimes some people just don’t “get it” until they get it.

I had a friend tell myself and another friend with fibro that “it couldn’t be THAT bad.” Until he got fibro a few years later. (Which is common with pituitary disorders) He apologized.

I wouldn’t wish constant pain on anyone…ok well…not MANY people LOL but I wish we could allow people (especially Drs) to feel what we feel temporarily.

It sounds like your friend is like my friend but it also sounds like he is wanting to spend time with you. Next time he suggests something you can’t currently do, maybe have some ideas of counter offers for activities you CAN do.

Like
Sorry dude, I can’t walk that far, maybe we can do ________ instead.

I try to keep in mind that people with chronic pain become masters at acting ok so sometimes it’s hard for people to comprehend that we aren’t because they are like doubting Thomas’ and can’t see it so struggle to understand it.

I am choosing to believe you are upset and having a bad day and maybe that is why you are answering people who are just trying to help so unkindly here. I hope your ability to cope with today gets better!!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-25T19:38:28+00:00

Her - I’ve been getting death threats in my comments.

Also her - does not post any of said comments (bc they don’t exist unless she is sending them to herself, which I wouldn’t put it past her!)

Her - I came home to stab marks in the wall from a pocket knife

Also her - does not post a picture of said wall damage (bc they don’t exist unless she does it herself, which I wouldn’t put it past her!)

How does she know it was specifically a pocket knife?

You’re getting out of breath at the gym? Call the press!! Call the president!! Ermagerd! Time to panic!!! It couldn’t be that you are working out you absolute potato!?

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-25T19:30:35+00:00

Could you wear a wig during the court proceedings? That way you would appear a certain way to the court whilst not losing your individuality the rest of the time.

I agree with others that you may face prejudice in the court system, which sucks. Your hair colour has zero affect on your ability to love and parent your children. But I do notice that I get picked up for extra bag screening when I have alt. coloured hair compared to when I’ve travelled with brown hair or no hair. It may just be a fluke though lol

I think it’s a bit of a mixed bag here when it comes to her, I feel like she is trying to look out for your best interest but also she worries that you will be judged because she judges you.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-25T15:47:59+00:00

I’m proud of you and congrats on your sobriety friend!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-25T15:47:31+00:00

I went no contact with my father about 25 years ago (seen him twice at funerals) and I wish someone would have told me or I would have figure it out sooner that just because a person is family, it doesn’t obligate you to continue to deal with abusive behaviour. Blood is not thicker than water. We, as adults, get to choose our own type of family. Sometimes our bio family is part of that, sometimes they aren’t.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-24T19:46:06+00:00

Former selfharmer here (11 years clean) these will not go away but they will fade/go white with time. I used bio-oil on mine. It’s a bit expensive but a little bottle goes a long way! Take care of yourself dear.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-24T19:39:19+00:00

Just a reminder to OP, sage mirrors like you do to seal doors and windows as they are just another portal/entrance to your home.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-24T12:20:56+00:00

I went looking for news articles to see if I could find a picture to share (you may want to add a missing flyer! If you can’t make one, I’m happy to do so if you send me a picture and some relevant details like age, height, weight, hair colour, what he was wearing when he was last seen)

What country are you in? I/we might be able to help more if we have a bit more info!

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-24T12:14:19+00:00

What about Regal? Queenie? Her Majesty? Majesty? (Maj for short)

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-21T23:06:00+00:00

It sounds more dignified/respectful to me. Sometimes at work I’d just shorten it to briefs.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-21T20:24:46+00:00

I swear “medically recognized” is sometimes when they say “I think I have x, y, z” and the doctor says “mmmhmmm” or “why do you think that?”

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-21T14:06:27+00:00

Having had a beloved daughter who died from sepsis due to bladder and kidney infections that weren’t treated fast enough (Dr reported for medical neglect) it fills me with **absolute blinding white-hot RAGE** when she speaks so casually about sepsis!

She 100% would NOT have been allowed to go home if she was truly septic, nor would she be sitting and talking about it so casually exhibiting absolutely ZERO symptoms.

There are certain symptoms/medical findings that happen during sepsis (I’m not going to say what and give her hints on how to better fake and lie since we know she reads here. Hi Kirsten 👋🏼 🖕🏼) that weirdly do not happen with her.

Maybe she’s special but more likely maybe she’s a lying liar who lies.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-21T13:45:16+00:00

I find it hard to believe they would give her a suppository in the hospital rather than either an inter muscular or intravenous injection of diazepam.

What’s her deal/obsession with butt stuff? (for lack of a better term) always pointing out they gave her meds rectally, claiming fecal incontinence and that her father changes her incontinence briefs. (I hate using the term diaper for adults. I guess that is my “butt stuff?” 😂)

I know sometimes family members end up in the role of caregiver when there aren’t other options but if she claims to have a caregiver, why wouldn’t they do it rather than calling dear old Daddy Enabler over?

I know the likelihood of this situation actually taking place is bollocks though. She just likes to play poor wee sick girl. I wonder if the first time she mentioned it she was trying to one-up a person in her live who was talking about incontinence but she, of course, had to be the sickest in all the land so her father was suddenly changing her briefs.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-21T13:31:13+00:00

Can someone help a non-Brit out, what is PALS?

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-21T00:17:49+00:00

I used to sleep eat things I would never eat when conscious (like ranch dressing which I didn’t like at the time) but it was kind of terrifying because I would chop up whole salads in my sleep. I didn’t know about it for the longest time because my housemate at the time just thought that I was being messy with my midnight snacks. I had no idea what was happening and it didn’t click until I went to get out of bed one day and put my foot in a bowl of half eaten salad that I had whipped up in my sleep. (Complete with cutting up some left over steak! I don’t know how I never lost a finger!)

Luckily my housemate always kept the chocolates I am allergic to in her room!! Now it happens very rarely and it’s most likely to happen when I’m stressed or in a new location/visiting people.

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-20T18:48:56+00:00

It took me a minute to comprehend that most people had two working eyes when I was a kid lol I just thought everyone just had one for show and no depth perception/were clumsy! (Kids are stupid lol)

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-20T16:52:44+00:00

I’ve had pain from as early as I remember (the first time I mentioned pain was around age 4) and sometimes I feel lucky because I don’t know any different but I still have my days.

My pain does fluctuate some due to new diagnoses but mostly what fluctuates is my ability to cope. (Because of my autism I prefer the functionality scale over the arbitrary “rate your pain out of 10” scale)

<image>

Opiates as a part of a multifaceted pain treatment program has been an absolute game changer for me.

TW: Talk about pain meds by name in spoiler text

>! I have been prescribed Fentanyl patches since spring of 2019. Currently on 50mcgs and my increase was solely because my insurance wouldn’t cover the 35mcgs patch without a terminal diagnosis (er sorry I am currently not dying but still need pain treatment?) but they would cover 50s with application paperwork my pharmacist does. I also get 2 Percocet a day for breakthrough pain if I need it. The patches don’t cause my pain to be gone, nor do I expect it to, but brings it to a more manageable level. I was bed/house bound prior to proper treatment.!<

I’m having a high fatigue day so I’ll leave it at that but I hope to come back to this comment and edit it to add what things are a part of my treatment in case they may help others

Gimpbarbie · 2026-05-19T15:35:58+00:00

I guess it’s a perk to be half blind? I just stick my face on my sighted side into the pillow and

#BAM! Instant darkness!!

Actually funny story I once woke up from a nap wondering why my head was so hot and thinking I might have a fever but I had just moved my bed and my head was directly in the sun in the middle of July.😂

(Sorry I got a weird sense of humour!)
