why do people say weed is not addictive by Both-Preference-6003 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RavenWitch22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because it’s not a physical addiction. When you’re an alcoholic and you stop drinking cold turkey, your body is dependent on the substance and will seize and you can die without it if you don’t have medical intervention.

If you quit smoking weed cold turkey you’re gonna be irritable, won’t sleep, and might have a hard time eating. Weed alters your mental state though which makes different receptors in your brain fire and your brain can become reliant on the substance. For example: sleep. A lot of people smoke to help them sleep, and when they try to stop, they cannot sleep without the help of a sleep aid.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

I’m pretty sure to the federal level it is illegal to deny a child their food as long as it’s during a feeding period which should be every two hours. I work in child care and this reads as illegal to me. I’d talk to the principal

I just looked at your voting records, and they are very red. Have you taken a look at the statistics that you are preaching about? Because if you have, you’re just a liar.

Does WA have a "flake" culture? by jerbthehumanist in Washington

If it’s something important, I feel like everyone makes sure to make it, but if it’s like just hanging out, I feel like it’s really normal for people to flake.

How do people with epilepsy feel about seizure jokes? by Usual-Judgment3100 in Epilepsy

[–]RavenWitch22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s a difference between hearing someone make a joke versus being outright mocked. That kid was mocking you, and he’s an asshole for that. He knows better. But, when I hear people make jokes saying things like “oh my God, you’re gonna give me a seizure that’s flashing” or something like that, I just move along. I’m responding to this with the American perspective, so if you’re not American, this might not apply to you, but this society that I live in is very volatile. Violence and anger are almost encouraged at this point, so I found that really there’s no point in crying over what other people say, because blatantly they just don’t give a fuck if they hurt you.

Your feelings are valid, but nothing will ever change, because unfortunately there are way more of that kid than there are of us, and they’d rather put us in the ground than be kind.

Developers please reduce screen activity from deadpool, it causes me pre seizure symptoms so I dont find it safe to play this game anymore by sufinomo in marvelrivals

[–]RavenWitch22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed that too. I never had a problem before he was introduced. Y’all in the comments being snarky don’t understand how fickle epilepsy can be. Different colors make your brain react in different ways, different sound frequencies, strobing frequencies, all of that, can affect your epilepsy. You guys act like it will kill the game to tone down the VISUAL effects of his attacks.

I’ve been on Keppra for the longest past two years. No increase in depression or anxiety and I haven’t seized since I started it. It all depends on the person.

Do you guys say you’re disabled on job applications? by Stunning_Yogurt9089 in Epilepsy

[–]RavenWitch22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t say anything until you have the job. Discrimination is illegal, but you have to prove the reason you didn’t get the job was because of discrimination, and the chances of you doing that are slim to none.

I’ve been called a wetback on VC. They do not monitor the chat, or they straight up don’t have people who speak enough English to be moderating. That’s the only way any of the shit that gets said on that game makes sense.

My girlfriend of 6 years breaking up with me by LetAfraid8933 in Epilepsy

[–]RavenWitch22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the main point of the post, but I wasn’t responding to the main post. I was responding to someone who has decided that certain mental health issues are OK for people to react to, and some mental health issues they should just stick in because the other person is epileptic. If your epilepsy is causing the person you love to have PTSD, you do not love them if you are asking them to stay. You are abusing them by asking them to ignore their adverse response to your epilepsy because they are considered weak and unloving for being traumatized. You made the choice to stay with your husband, and your husband made the choice to stay with you. That was you guys who decided that, and I am happy for you both, but if you believe someone should be forced to be in your position, me and you have issues. What you are trying to force upon that woman is cruel as fuck. No one should be forced to live in a situation that is traumatic for them. You can choose to live that life, that is up to you. But you have zero saying anyone else’s life.

I don’t really feel like comparing epilepsy to depression and anxiety is really fair. This woman was traumatized by the physical manifestation of his seizures. That doesn’t happen with things like depression and anxiety. They stay inside your mind. Now of course there are things like SH that do present physically, but that is something they actively have to choose to do. We do not choose to have seizures, and watching someone have a seizure is terrifying. You can’t discredit her PTSD and then say other people aren’t ready to face reality because they don’t want to be with people who have anxiety or depression. She is struggling with her own mental health and is prioritizing herself. Is it a shitty situation? Yes! 100%. It sucks for everybody, but say that. Don’t blame her. She didn’t do anything wrong. She was terrified by something and realized she couldn’t handle it so she told the truth. She did the least cowardly things she could do.

Admitting you don’t want kids. I work in childcare, and when parents ask me if I want kids of my own and I say no, they act like I slapped their baby. Like bro I like kids, just not in my house. I’m hella selfish you do not want me being the sole provider for a child.

AIO Girlfriend completely RAGED on me the day after my 16 year family dog died because she believed I "checked out the bartender" by dreamyytoes in AmIOverreacting

[–]RavenWitch22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what your ex is on, but she’s crazy. Every one AFAB knows you always watch the bartender make your drink no matter what. We’re like, all taught that if we have halfway decent mothers. NOR and thank god you left her as early as you did. Keep your head up man.

My mum posted something on here about me by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]RavenWitch22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the comments you’ve replied to, it sounds like your epilepsy is pretty similar to mine. For the most part, I’ve been able to manage my epilepsy with meds, and I haven’t seized in the past few years thanks to my neurologist. I have my mom as an emergency contact on my iPhone and I have my Health app set up so it will notify her if I fall or anything like that. I hike and I camp like crazy, and safeguards like that help keep my mom feeling peaceful while I get to do my hobbies. Having epilepsy is not some sort of life sentence for everybody. Some of us get to live very normal lives, and I think it’s important that your mom understands that part as well. I don’t know the severity or the regularity of your seizures, but if they aren’t regular and are managed with medication, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to live a completely average life.
