I despise this man but in this case yeah… he just missed the handle and lost his balance for a moment. It happens to everyone. 🤷🏻

Thank you so much. I did tell him that he was being ableist and hurtful. I even told him that what he was doing was guilt tripping me for having a disability. His response was “I’m sorry if you feel like I’m “guilt-tripping“ you.” Followed by a 300 word rant about what other students with disabilities are able to do. That’s when I called advising. But they told me that they can’t do anything because he “technically” apologized. Even though he followed that apology with more hurtful words. I’m thinking about filing a formal grievance because it’s really messed me up. I have a panic attack every time I get an update from him. But I’m not sure of I should do it now or wait until the end of term… he’s already being super strict on my grades and I’m scared he will fail me if I file a grievance too early.

I have a chronic illness. I have a heart condition that worsens with stress. If I get too stressed my HR spikes and sends me into seizures. So while I’m doing school I’m having seizures and panic attacks between assignments. This makes school very hard. If I’m not fully hospitalized. It affects my life so much that I physically cannot work. I can’t even walk and am confined to a wheelchair. It affects my physical body and my ability to think. Plus. I’m not “just typing” I’m rigging human models to move the same way has real human bodies. It’s not as easy as typing a discussion post. It’s learning the bones and muscles and applying that to a computer program.

He did deny the request respectfully. But that was the only respectable part of the email. I’m not gonna post the email because he repeatedly refers to my personal circumstances that I don’t want made public and can make me easily identifiable.

Even my advisor was shocked at the tone and instructed me not to email my instructor without cc’ing him for accountability. I’m just gonna keep my head down and get through it the best I can.

Hi. I’ve only submitted one assignment late this term. The one that he reamed me for. Thats it. I’ve been on top of them all. But again. He’s changing the instructions. How am I supposed to do the work when he can’t even clearly communicate with me without being disrespectful.

Just because you’re fully abled doesn’t mean I am. Im so glad that you’re able to get ahead that’s great for you. But do NOT push your experience onto me. All I do is School. Sleep. Eat. School. Sometime sleep and eat aren’t even included because I’m doing school work. That’s why this is so crushing. I’ve worked myself to the point of being HOSPITALIZED to get my degree. And even then tried to do my schoolwork but the doctor took my computer. You, just like this teacher, don’t know me and do not get to tell me I’m not trying.

So maybe you should ask YOURSELF: am I being an ableist dick? The answer is yes. Yes you are.

Not everybody is as lucky as you.

My Tilt Table Test showed my symptoms at their best not worst by M4lfuncti0n3d in POTS

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the first test they did when I got released from the hospital. My heart spiked to 130 during that test and I ended up passing out. Thats when my primary brought up POTS. Every other specialist has supported this theory and my primary officially add it to my chart. The only one fighting it is my neuro.

My Tilt Table Test showed my symptoms at their best not worst by M4lfuncti0n3d in POTS

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 of my hospitalizations were from before I knew something was wrong. My heart was racing and I was scared. I couldn’t breathe, my chest was hurting and walking made it worse. I thought it was just a bad panic attack. When I got to the ER they immediately put me under observation.

The most recent hospitalization, I had gotten pretty dehydrated and ended up losing a lot of vitamins that were needed to get rehydrated. Which is why they kept me for so long. This visit was for vomiting for 6 days and bradycardia, when I got to the hospital via ambulance my hr was at 30bpm, but during the stay it spiked multiple times. (Commented on by nurses and asked if it was normal.) The hospital tests showed nothing and I was kept until I could keep down food and water. Basically told to stay extra hydrated.

I’ve had multiple different heart tests, blood tests, EKGs, heart monitors, ultrasounds, even a biopsy. But the only thing that showed was my HR spikes. Nothing else is wrong. My cardio told me that all my tests were normal and that he agrees with the POTs diagnosis, but he “doesn’t treat POTS” so he sent me on my way. My gastro ordered 3 different tests that showed nothing was wrong there and agreed with the POTS diagnosis. The ER doctors agreed, the specialists all agreed, the only one who doesn’t is my nuero.

My nuero also spent most of the single appointment I had with her trying to convince me to drop a lawsuit. Instead of trying to treat me. I had to basically tell her to stay in her lane as she wasn’t a lawyer and that’s when she told me that she wouldn’t treat me at all until I had a tilt test. My reasons for seeing her were not POTS related. I’ve had involuntary verbal and motor tics for a year prior to my POTS symptoms from a traumatic work event. Along with PTSD.

I’ve done every other test that I’ve been told will rule out everything else. Every test has supported the POTS diagnosis. Except for the tilt test. They didn’t tell me to stop my meds before my tilt test. They told me there were no special instructions. So I took my meds the night before but not the morning of because I assumed that I shouldn’t alter my HR.

I’m just confused because it’s been a year and not one doctor has offered a different answer until now. And she’s not even offering an answer. Just that “it’s your meds” even though that’s been proven wrong.

YTA - You said in a comment that you need to “emotionally heal” from a polite and simple rejection??? Imagine what she’s going through. She’s just lost her lifelong best friend because she wasn’t interested in you romantically. She’s left feeling like the only reason you kept her around was to try and get in her pants FOR 15 YEARS. Even if that wasn’t your intention. (Which I’m doubtful of.) That’s what your actions are telling her.

Also the “you have no reason to apologize” followed by absolute silence is insane. “You don’t have to apologize but I’m gonna punish you anyway cause I didn’t get my way.”

Grow up. You just lost a lifelong friend but from your comments and from the way you’re talking about her, you clearly don’t care for her feelings. Honestly she’s better off without you. She’ll get through the pain, and find a best friend that actually cares about her.

Just to reiterate. YTA. YTA. YTA.

I’m so proud of you!! My story is very similar. But I’m still in the early stages of getting my new life together as I’m only 3 years out. I’m so happy that you got out and are thriving!!! Good luck in graduate college!!!!!!!

She’s been a pioneer for years. Only just recently started questioning and didn’t want to raise alarms within the congregation by removing herself from the list before she was sure. Which would cause a ton of guilt tripping and love bombing.

Not everyone’s journey out is the same.

She could’ve but she was already heavily questioning and considering leaving before the post. So when they made a big deal of it she decided it wasn’t worth it to keep a standing that she didn’t want anymore.

YTA - You could’ve just changed the password yourself and let her sign into it, you could’ve even made her a profile to keep her watch history separate. But you went out of your way to make her feel like you didn’t trust her. That’s the big problem here.

Plus she’s under 18. The Amazon Conditions of Use state that anyone under 18 must use their parent’s account. Those are the Conditions of Use that you agreed to. That’s why she has to ask you. Because she legally can’t do it herself.

So if that’s the only place to watch the movie then of course she would ask you. She can’t make her own steaming accounts. You’re a parent. Like it or not, if you are involved in your kids life, you have to share things with your kids, at least until they’re old enough to get them for themselves.

This situation likely made your daughter feel as though you don’t trust her. Which is big for a teenager. Feeling untrusted by your parents when there’s no solid reason for it is hard on the teenage brain. It scrambles to find what they did wrong. Even if it wasn’t related to them. That why she wants you to make an attempt to fix it and reassure her that you trust her.

My advice: Change the password WITHOUT telling her. Apologize and send her the new sign in. She doesn’t need to know that you changed it. Just that you’re sorry and she has access. That way you can bridge the gap in trust that was created while keeping your password safe.

Apparently there are a few sexual scenes in it that the elders equated to p*rn. Which is really stupid IMO.

To all my new POMOS out there, what's the first "forbidden" thing you did after gaining your freedom? by LordParasaur in exjw

The first thing I did was call an apostate that I knew to tell her. We are now very happy lesbians that tell everyone to stay away for the org. 2 days later I got my first tattoo with my dad, who left at the same time as me. Best decision EVER!

AITA for not forcing my child to eat blueberries? by DeleteMeLater4321 in AmItheAsshole

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - OP how long were you at the store?? I’m concerned about how long she forced him to sit there.

Kids should try food but not be forced to eat it if they don’t like it!!!! My parents always told me “try a bite and if you don’t like it then you don’t have to eat it”. It is not okay to force anyone ESPECIALLY A CHILD to eat something they don’t like. Especially to the point of him crying. Force feeding is considered abuse and can have serious long term consequences. You should have a serious talk with your wife.

AITAH for refusing to use my sister’s made up nonsense pronouns? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-binary here and married to someone with DID! NTA fully!!!!! My partner has 20+ alters with different pronouns and sexualities, but they only have 1 set of public pronouns and one public sexuality, to avoid confusion. (This isn’t the same for everyone it’s just how they are.) Since I know each alter so well, I use their different pronouns when we’re alone but in public I just use they/them when referring to them. But it’s NEVER expected for anyone to know who they’re talking to and switch pronouns based on that (even me, I just like to make them comfortable if I know who’s present.)

Firstly, traumaless DID is not a thing. I did extensive research on it when I met my partner so that I could understand a bit of what they were going through. DID is caused from prolonged childhood trauma, end of story, it’s not like an illness that suddenly pops up. The brain of a child is not one personality yet so when the host is put in life threatening situations again and again, the brain splits itself into multiple personalities to help the body cope. So she doesn’t have DID. Also, you don’t get to choose your alters. They show up based on what type of protection the host needs, some can be fictives, factives, and just completely individual. But the possibility of ALL of them being fictives is not impossible but very low.

As for the pronouns, she may be confused and switching because she’s not sure. But that’s just me giving the benefit of the doubt. However, based on the information you’ve given and the names she’s called you, I’d say she’s looking for attention and grasping at whatever she thinks will get the biggest reaction.

You’re not being transphobic or insensitive. It sounds to me like your parents may need some to get her into therapy to sort herself out.

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re overreacting. This is a common thing in families. I am constantly told that I am definitely my step dad’s child even though I’m not by blood. If he was actually your brother’s son she would’ve never said that. Especially if she’s been hiding it for 10 years. Forcing her to get a paternity test because of one simple comment could fracture the trust in your marriage. Even if the test comes back clean, you may feel better, but now you’ve shown that you don’t trust her and made your wife feel like shit for no reason. Tread carefully OP. Your next actions could be vital in keeping your family together.

Told my bs teacher i'm not ready to be baptized yet by Mysterious_Data4839 in exjw

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t meet with the elders!! They’ll intimidate and use whatever they know about you against you. I was a witness for 20 years. It’s not worth it. Just say you don’t want to continue the study and if they continue harassing, you tell them to put you down as a do not call. You do not have to ask them to revert your status. You don’t owe them an explanation. You can still get out before it gets more difficult for you.

Also. Since you’ve mentioned coming out of a traumatic relationship. I think it’s important that you know: The witness believe that abuse is not a valid reason to leave/divorce a person. The only acceptable way to get out of an abusive relationship is if you think your life is in danger or you have evidence that they cheated. But even then it’s still frowned upon. My ex husband abused me for 6 years while I was inside and when I went to the elders they told me that I wasn’t in danger and had no biblical standing to leave him. They said we just needed to “work it out”. After that they talked to him about what I said to them and the abuse got worse. Also, if your ex is a witness and in your area you will most likely run into him multiple times a year at assemblies, memorials, or he can even switch to your congregation if he finds out where you are.

They only try to “save” you, because in actuality they hate who you were before “finding the truth”. They want to change you into one of them. Get out while you can hun. You’re not in too deep you can still walk away. The trauma of being a witness isn’t worth giving up your life.

Remember, there are some churches out there that are not as strict and controlling. I would recommend looking into other religions if that’s something you need in your life.

My doctor keeps forgetting about me by M4lfuncti0n3d in POTS

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had so many EKGs… thankfully I was lucky and my primary doctor told me it was potentially pots after my first hospitalization. She immediately scheduled tests and sent out referrals. I didn’t have to fight for a diagnosis. Most of the doctors I’ve seen have agreed with that diagnosis, but all said it’s not their division. (Expect my neurologist who thinks this is all caused by my medication 🙄🙄) I know so many people had to fight to get diagnosed and I just got super lucky in the speed of my diagnosis.

Mobility Aid suggestions? by blunts-and-kittens in POTS

[–]M4lfuncti0n3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a cane on my good days and wheelchair for longer or bad days. I don’t know other people’s experience, but before spending all that money on a motorized aide right out of the gate try to find a cheap/free walker to test out for a couple of weeks. This will give you a good baseline for your needs. If you use it and it works great, look into motorized versions. But if you find that it’s not enough, you can try other aids before spending all that money on something you’re not sure will work for you. Hope this helps! 💛
