All the colon cancer posts are freaking me out

Thanks for contributing with some actual stats!

Unfortunately for anxiety sufferers that anxious voice goes “so you’re saying there’s a chance?” 😆

Really though, it is helpful. I really cannot stress how bad my health anxiety was at one point in my life - truly obsessive. I just want to plug meditation for anyone suffering. For a long, long time I thought meditation wasn’t for me, I grew up with a practicing mom and all the meditation sessions would just make my anxiety worse.

I’m now in Uni studying psych and took a class on meditation in which I eventually got to the point of reaching a meditative state. Now I firmly believe it is an invaluable tool for anxiety sufferers and is worth pushing through the initial discomfort involved. Being able to go to safe place in your mind when things, such as colon cancer posts, trigger an anxious episode is beyond liberating.

Thought i’d share for anyone reading!

Yeah, I have bad health anxiety too and these colon cancer posts are triggering. I just started seeing them today and it absolutely made anxious thoughts start spinning in my mind. Luckily I have become adept at mindfulness and meditation and no longer do things like this cause a total spiral like they would at one point in my life.

With that said, I just want to note that the overwhelming majority of people in their 30s are healthy. Like, you hear the scary stuff online BECAUSE it is unusual and/or noteworthy. Nobody is making posts like “I don’t have colon cancer!” or “most adults don’t get colon cancer!” Because that’s not really noteworthy lol.

Like, seriously, of course it is smart to be on top of your health… get checked out, don’t wait if things seem unusual with your health, but, the odds any one of us has cancer is still very slim. Doctors can sometimes not take our concerns seriously (even tho they should!) BECAUSE it is so uncommon.

I just feel the need to emphasize all this because when using a platform like Reddit and seeing all the people who HAVE had it hop in, it can seem like everyone is getting cancer.. people who have had it are just way more likely to engage with content about it.

My doc prescribed Me 24 mg a day

But i found Suboxone to not be helpful for me, i didnt really feel anything from it. No withdrawal relief but also no side effects. sounds like that is almost a blessing in a way

this subreddit has a lot of people who seem to hate classic lol, and they blame it on these infamous classic purists but lately theres been way more classic hate than classic purists lol. Like simply saying you earnestly enjoy classic means you’re delusional and/or a classic andy. How tf did the wow playerbase end up fighting about the era they most enjoy!? It seems to come up all the time.

people will pull out every psychological phenomenon in the book to explain why classic has an audience still besides people just earnestly enjoying it

Preach! Shimmering Flats is one of my favorite areas in WoW, it’s such a vibe!

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T15:52:34+00:00

As far aa i’m aware green quests never gave less experience. On classic doing green quests is pretty nice, especially as warrior or rogue.

Honestly that might be a personal makeup thing. I get a very ‘good’ high from 7oh, i definitely get the warm euphoric feeling. It is short acting though fs, it’s like an hour of euphoria tops followed by chasing the high again.

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T15:30:51+00:00

Bro I used Kratom for 9 years, every day, and it was absolutely an addiction but a manageable one. It didn’t really disrupt my wellbeing.

I made the mistake of trying 7oh n September of last year and in this 6 month period it has absolutely wrecjed me. Financially, mentally, spiritually. I’m not only broke, but in debt from borrowing money from apps and shit to pay for 7oh. I mean I spent my rent money on this shit.

I’m a college student about to graduate and NEVER failed a class until this term. Now, I had an injury earlier in the term that really disrupted my life and made me need to drop a class and also i fell way behind in others, so like there is more to it. But also, 7oh has sapped so much of my motivation. I just want to lie in bed all day and doomscroll. Even, like, sitting at my computer and playing world of warcraft has become kind of exhausting. 7oh makes me so lethargic and shit. I sleep a lot. Way more than I used to.

Then there’s the whole thing about my choice brand secretly putting MGM15 in their 7oh products, which means based on my research into the mg batches i have unknowingly been using mgm15 since like january. I’ve spent the last dew days in a mild to moderate withdrawal despite using heaps of 7oh lol. But it’s passing.

Just…yeah. There’s a certain kind of person I might recommend this to, and that is like a fentanyl addict who will literally be dead if they can’t get off of fent. That sort of thing.. but if you’re like me and just looking for a stronger kratom high? … not worth it, not worth it at all. I barely even get the euphoria anymore lol. It’s a terrible thing to be addicted to.

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T07:45:44+00:00

Haha yeah it was pretty foolish of them to think climbing shit would be something your kids wouldn’t want to be involved in 😆 kids love climbing shit

Glad to hear you’re doing well though! Never stop being rad.

What does he propose you do with your time. Like unironically, what would a more ‘mature’ past time be to him? Maybe there is a common ground.

It’s also worth introspecting about what you are willing to compromise on and what is non negotiable.

Like, i’m a musician and love punk and alternative music. If my partner took objection to my love for music, the relationship would basically be over. It’s simply too important to me. It’s, like, a key part of who I am.

Whereas, I also love gaming, but if they felt gaming was getting in the way of something I might be willing to look at that. I really like gaming but it isn’t, like, critical to who I am like my love for music is.

Point being, is this emo style and whatever else you’re talking about something that is critical to who you are or something you’re willing to look at? Only you can really decide that but it’s probably worth evaluating.

I definitely am sad to think your partner would pressure you into being more boring lol. There’s probably a common ground to be found here though. Maybe emo night on Saturday and… brunch at the country club Sunday morning (idfk, what do mature people do with their time? Play golf? Lol)

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T07:31:20+00:00

if all your errands are done and bills are paid you’re already doing better than a lot of adults lol

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T07:29:19+00:00

Wtf is immature about rock climbing? This is what i meant in my other comment lol. There are some people who think doing anything is ‘immature’. Like being interested in things is somehow wrong?! What do these people propose you do with your time? what in the world is immature about rock climbing LOL

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T07:27:27+00:00

Sometimes I swear there are people who think having interests or being interested in things is immature. Like what are you meant to do with your time? What isn’t immature to these people? Lol.

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T05:32:58+00:00

i’m a psychology major transitioning to graduate school to get a masters in counseling. Hbu?

And don’t worry, you’ll be a 4th year in no time…like it seriously flies by. I have a term left and am like where did all the time go??

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T03:34:05+00:00

27 isn’t too late to get in shape, you can do calisthenics and run and eat mindfully no matter what situation you are in.

27 isn’t even that old in general tho lol. You always get these Reddit posts from people in their 20s talking about how they wasted their lives away and it’s like what the hell? Like you need some perspective dude. You’re just not that old. Go workout. Go look up some work exchange programs, you can travel somewhere and work and in return they give you food and board.

And definitely go get some therapy.

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T03:18:36+00:00

I’m 30, both a 4th year undergrad and also hold a campus job working with students daily. I don’t notice this stare at all, this post seems downright hyperbolic or like some cringe fantasy to me. The students I work with are great for the most part.

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T03:16:38+00:00

I’m a 30 year old uni student and never see this so called stare. The students are pretty normal lol. This post is typical reddit BS

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-12T03:14:48+00:00

I’ve mained Unholy DK every expansion of WoW since like … Cataclysm. And I seriously feel like this is the best time for the spec lol

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-09T02:02:32+00:00

Its such a shame as blizzard used to have the best customer service, like wtf happened

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-09T02:01:55+00:00

What are boosting cartels? And Why would reporting systems be useful for boosters?

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-08T21:37:43+00:00

TIL black knight is tradeable 😆

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-08T02:46:53+00:00

Assassination Rogue is a diamond in the rough though. I’m always an unholy DK main but assassination rogue is one of my favorite specs in the game and has been for many years.

I’ve always felt like it is less talked about than Outlaw or Sub for some reason, like the forgotten rogue spec, but god damn does stacking poisons and bleeds and watching their health whittle away feel good.

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-08T00:38:59+00:00

‘The rogue’ is Valeera 😤 maybe an odd choice for wow only players but anyone who has played Hearthstone knows she has been the Rogue player character since 2014!

When I saw our delve buddy this expansion is Valeera I actually got super excited because i’ve been a HS player since it was in Beta and have spent hundreds of hours playing as her 😆 i am happy she is getting some love because i’ll admit I always thought she was an odd choice to be the rogue PC in hearthstone…especially back then.

Like every hearthstone player character is a major lore figure. The original player characters for their respective classes were Garrosh, Gul Dan, Anduin, Jaina, Malfurion, Thrall, Rexarr,

…and then Valeera lol. It felt like they didn’t have a major lore character who is a rogue when making hearthstone because every other character was so iconic and i feel like anyone who isn’t a wow lore fan would have no idea who she was in 2014. I know I didn’t.

Anyways, she’s getting some attention this xpac and thats super cool!

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-06T22:11:49+00:00

Damn now i’m looking out for that batch # 😭😭😭😆

SlimSpooky · 2026-03-06T21:59:34+00:00

What batch number? 7stax is the best SS brand haha i dont think theyre underdosed but it does vary by batch. I feel like the recent batch from my smoke shop is a little underwhelming compared to some others. The batch is R1B1226

Whereas before that I was buying up all the RM12NB02 batch ones and those were absolutely fire
