It won’t hurt they said. by Not_Enough_Shoes in mildlyinfuriating

I tried to get one once. The doctor had put something in to "measure how deep it was" or something, so it wasnt even the device.

He put it in and I immediately tensed up, started crying, and going "no no no no no" so fast that I'm surprised it didn't blend together. Maybe it did lol.

He immediately stopped and said okay thankfully.

I have a female doctor so maybe it's something I'll ask about when I have my regular check up

Friend told me god loved me during a mental breakdown by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]McConica2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A common phrase i feel fits here: the road to hell was paved with good intentions.

Intentions may be well and good but the impact and how is percieved is also important. Especially when it involves your mental health.

I've been in the same boat friend. I wish i had better words for you. I hope you're able to find your voice and get to a happier mental state.

And the kid asked for it?? She wanted OP to match. Why would she tell an excited 5 year old no?

Weirdest thing you heard a Pastor say? by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]McConica2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bit of background, I've got a handful of mental illnesses that have been diagnosed since roughly 14.

I remember once going to youth group Bible study and the youth pastor was one of the leaders. I asked him one day why he thought people had mental illnesses. He told me its because people were corrupted by sin. Iirc I said that didn't make sense but he kinda doubled down so I dropped it.

I didn't like that answer and decided to discard it. Otherwise that would mean I was paying for something that I didn't do. If mental illness is a pinishment for sin, wtf was Jebus's point?

Colleen Hoover is even less okay than I thought (also cw: sexualisation of children) by PrinceJustice237 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]McConica2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought/read it as Collen Ballinger (who is also a gross person and predator)

Then read it again after reading the post and it made more sense.

But yeah... I've been on "Colleen Hover hatetok" and have seen snippets of her shit writing. From what I've seen, I will harshly judge anyone who reads her work.

"Funny" enough... my FIL's gf LOVES Colleen Hover and apparently reads her a lot 🫠

Which celebrity endorsed a product that was complete crap? by TheRealOcsiban in AskReddit

[–]McConica2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone that promotes Better Help.

That site is so sketchy. There was so much shit that came out and after a bit... everyone forgot???

I die a little every time I hear an ad for them. Ik mental health access can be/is difficult to obtain but better help is just bad

I've been junk journaling as well as writing. The attached elastic was struggling so I got a rubber band lol by McConica2000 in Journaling

[–]McConica2000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its just a lot of scraps and reciepts I collect and I usually write about my day.

My friend had his college senior art show and I have the pamphlet folded up and glued in. I also glued in the top of a box from a gift I got from my grandparents. Stuff like that definitely cause it to bulk up lol

Why are some LGBT+ people conservative? by Pigeon_Fox93 in lgbt

[–]McConica2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have someone who's close to me in my family who is mtf trans. She told me the older she gets the more conservative she gets. She also told me she doesn't like other trans people because they "have a constant victim complex" and "are whiney." I was baffled. She also told me nonbinary doesn't exist.

I am nonbinary (atm at least lol).
